MANAGEMENT'S PLAN |
| 11. | MANAGEMENT'S PLAN
Our long-term strategic objective is to maximize the Company's intrinsic value per share. While we remain focused on reducing our costs through productivity and better processes and a continued emphasis on generating free cash flow, we are dedicated to the strategies that drive our top-line growth. We are intensifying our efforts to improve our processes, embrace change and wisely employ our stronger liquidity position. Over the past several periods, we have focused on targeted initiatives that were designed to stabilize our business, improve our liquidity and lower our break-even point. While we remain dedicated to increasing our productivity and internal processes with the intent to continue to grow free cash flow, we are actively pursuing strategies to drive top-line growth. In the remainder of fiscal 2015, we plan to continue focus on sales execution, operational excellence and building strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, to differentiate our company and create value for our clients and shareholders. By improving revenue growth and managing our costs effectively, combined with the availability of our credit facility with Huntington Bank with substantially more favorable terms than the long-term debt and line of credit it replaces, we enhance our ability to implement our growth plan. We have taken several steps to strengthen our management team in roles that will be vital to helping drive our top line performance. We are expanding our marketing efforts by building on the Company's inherent strengths in specialty assay and drug discovery, regulatory excellence, and our Culex® automated sampling system. We recognize that our growth depends upon our ability to continually improve and create new client relationships. In addition, strengthening the overall leadership team represents an important step forward in the Company's continuing program to build a management team with the depth, experience and dedication to position the Company to deliver profitable growth over the long-term. In January 2015, we entered into a lease agreement with an initial term of approximately nine years and 11 months for approximately 51,000 square feet of office, manufacturing and warehouse space located at the Company's headquarters to monetize underutilized space. The lease agreement will provide the Company with additional cash of approximately $50 per month during the first year of the initial term to approximately $57 per month during the final year of the initial term. This long term source of cash will help to fund our growth programs. Certain capital improvements up to approximately $800 will be required to relocate manufacturing and update our office and meeting space. The relocation and associated improvements will also help to create a more lean manufacturing process. We are determined to follow through on the initiatives that support our strategy to strengthen the Company for fiscal 2015 and beyond.
