As future compliance with the covenants is not expected before January 31, 2016, the Company intends to have further discussions with its lender to extend the waiver, or amend the existing agreements to reset covenant measures to correspond to current forecasts, and satisfy the covenant related to payroll taxes. Until such time that the Company is able to revise its financial covenants to a level that it believes is achievable, and resolve its federal payroll tax matter to the satisfaction of its lender, all outstanding long-term term debt with the lender will be reclassified as a current liability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure a resolution and, accordingly, its liquidity and ability to operate could be adversely affected and raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities as they fall due. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from an adverse outcome relating to these uncertainties.

Reclassification of Long-Term Debt

The financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity, capital requirements and that our credit facilities with our lender will remain available to us and will not need to be replaced. The Company is subject to total leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants, as well as limitations on intercompany indebtedness under its credit facilities with its lender and in an event of default, the lender could declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable. The Company determined that it did not meet the existing total leverage and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants under its U.S. credit agreement with the lender, nor the limitation on intercompany indebtedness under its Canadian letter loan agreement with the lender, each as measured for the period ending September 30, 2015. Furthermore, the financial covenant defaults under the U.S. credit agreement resulted in a cross-default under the terms of the Canadian letter loan agreement. In addition, the Company did not duly pay and discharge its payroll tax obligations in a manner compliant with the covenant requirements of its U.S. credit agreement (see Note 5 – Other Expense).

Based on these determinations, the Company secured a waiver of these existing defaults dated November 18, 2015 with respect to its U.S. credit agreement and its Canadian letter loan agreement, to suspend testing of the existing defaults until January 31, 2016 and to permit the use by its U.S. operations of up to $3.0 million of the available and unused borrowing capacity under the Canadian letter loan agreement, subject to the satisfaction of additional financial reporting requirements and other conditions. As future compliance with the covenants is not expected before January 31, 2016, the Company intends to have further discussions with its lender to extend the waiver, or amend the existing agreements to reset covenant measures to correspond to current forecasts, and satisfy the covenant related to payroll taxes. Until such time that the Company is able to revise its financial covenants to a level that it believes is achievable, and resolve its federal payroll tax matter to the satisfaction of its lender, all outstanding long-term term debt with the lender will be reclassified as a current liability.
