3.              LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On January 22, 1999, the Company entered into a new bank credit facility with the Company’s two primary banks, originally expiring in December 2002.  The agreement included financial and other covenants, including fixed charge, cash flow and net worth ratios and restrictions on certain asset sales, mergers and other significant transactions.  The Company was not in compliance with such covenants at October 29, 2000.  In February 2001, the Company entered into an amendment to its bank credit facility agreement, wherein the lenders agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the facility in connection with such non-compliance until February 15, 2002, at which time the facility was to mature.  The amendment to the bank credit facility, which was further amended in February 2001, called for reductions in the outstanding balance during calendar 2001 and modified the interest rates charged. The amendment required additional collateral, effectively all the assets of the Company, and reporting requirements, as well as the addition of a covenant requiring minimum operating profits.  The amendment also required the suspension of principal and interest payments on subordinated debt, with an aggregate outstanding balance of $2.1 million as of October 28, 2001.  Furthermore, the amendment to the facility prohibits the payment of preferred or common stock dividends and prohibited the purchase of the Company’s stock.  Beginning in August 2001, the Company was out of compliance with its minimum operating profit covenant.  In February 2002, the Company entered into a further amendment to the facility, which extended the maturity date to December 31, 2002.  That amendment called for further reductions in the outstanding balance based on expected future asset sales, increases the interest rate charged and requires minimum EBITDA.  In December 2002, the Company entered into a further amendment to the facility, which extended the maturity date to December 31, 2003.  This amendment calls for further reductions in the outstanding balance based on expected future asset sales and cash flow generated from operations and requires minimum EBITDA. In April 2003, the Company entered into a further amendment to the facility, which amended the financial covenant. In September 2003, the Company entered into a further amendment to the facility, which waived a mandatory paydown.  Subsequently, the Company entered into further amendments to the facility, which extended the due date to coincide with the sale of the Company (see note 5).  Borrowings under the facility are charged interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.75% (6.75% at May 2, 2004).

 

At May 2, 2004, $4,750,000 was outstanding under the Company’s bank credit facility and $330,000 was available for additional borrowing.

 

4.              EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period (the denominator).  The computation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding, computed using the treasury stock method, the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock computed using the “if converted” method, and by the dilutive effect of the put option on common stock, computed using the reverse-treasury stock method. Due to the net loss for the periods presented, the effects of stock options and convertible preferred stock have been ignored for diluted loss per share because their effects would be antidilutive.

5.              SALE OF COMPANY

 

On May 10, 2004, the Company was acquired by Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (“Allied”).  The acquisition of all the shares of the Company had the following terms pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Plan of Merger dated February 10, 2004:  0.068 shares of common stock of Allied for each share of common stock of the Company, and a combination of 0.127 shares of Allied common stock, a warrant to purchase 0.28 shares of Allied common stock and cash of $0.9333 for each share outstanding of the Company’s Class A convertible preferred stock.  Based on the Company’s 5,824,306 common shares and 1,071,428 preferred shares issued, the aggregate amount to common shareholders was approximately $1.75 million, and the aggregate amount to preferred shareholders was approximately $1.6 million.  In addition, Allied repaid and assumed $10.6 million of the Company’s outstanding debt, and the Company’s preferred shareholders may be entitled to Allied subordinated promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000 based on the 2004 gross revenue of Stature.  Accordingly, the transaction had an aggregate value of approximately $14.0 million, exclusive of any value attributable to the warrants and Allied notes.
