MUZAK HOLDINGS LLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Overview
Organization—Muzak Holdings LLC (and its subsidiaries (the “Company”)), previously known as ACN Holdings, LLC, was formed in September 1998 pursuant to the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company provides business music programming to clients through its integrated nationwide network of owned operations and franchises. All of the operating activities are conducted through the Company’s subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2007, ABRY Partners, LLC and its respective affiliates, collectively own 64.2% of the beneficial interests in the Company’s voting interests.
Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries: Muzak LLC, Muzak Capital Corporation, Muzak Holdings Finance Corporation, Muzak Finance Corporation, Business Sound Inc., Electro Systems Corporation, BI Acquisition LLC, MLP Environmental Music LLC, Audio Environments Inc., Background Music Broadcasters Inc., Telephone Audio Productions Inc., Vortex Sound Communications Company Inc., Music Incorporated, and Muzak Houston, Inc. All significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain financial information has been condensed and certain footnote disclosures have been omitted. Such information and disclosures are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Muzak Holdings LLC Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). The adoption of this FASB had no impact on the Company.
The financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information included herein. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
On April 12, 2007, the Company announced that it is contemplating a future consolidation or combination with DMX, Inc. This combination would be contingent on a sale of the combined entity to an as yet unidentified third party buyer following clearance by federal regulators. Accordingly, the parties have submitted a Hart-Scott-Rodino filing seeking clearance for such a transaction. In the interim, Muzak and DMX will remain independent companies and continue to compete and to provide, without disruption, the highest-quality products and services to their respective clients. In connection with the aforementioned plan the Company has incurred costs of $0.8 million which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

April 2005 Term Loan Facility
On April 15, 2005, the Company refinanced its then existing Senior Credit Facility with a new $105.0 million senior secured term loan facility (“New Senior Credit Facility”). A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the then existing outstanding term and revolving loans and accrued interest, to provide collateral for outstanding letters of credit under the then existing Senior Credit Facility, and to pay fees and expenses. The then existing Senior Credit Facility has been terminated. On March 16, 2007, the Company amended the New Senior Credit Facility, by extending the maturity from April 2008 to January 2009 and reducing the applicable margin by 1.0% The amendment also includes a provision for a prepayment penalty of 1.0% if certain events occur prior to the one year anniversary of the amendment. The Company incurred fees associated with this amendment of $0.5 million.
The New Senior Credit Facility is payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original outstanding balance ($105.0 million) beginning September 2005 until final maturity on January 19, 2009. The New Senior Credit facility is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority security interest in (i) substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and (ii) the capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries. The non-guarantor subsidiary is minor (as defined by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X) and the consolidated amounts in the Company’s financial statements are representative of the combined guarantor’s financial statements. The New Senior Credit Facility contains a senior secured leverage ratio (the ratio of Senior Secured Debt as of such date of determination to Consolidated EBITDA on a last twelve months (LTM) basis) and various other restrictive covenants, which are customary for such facilities. In addition, the Company is generally prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness, incurring liens, paying dividends or making other restricted payments, consummating asset sales, entering into transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating with any other person or selling, assigning, transferring, leasing, conveying, or otherwise disposing of assets. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2007.
Prior to being amended on March 16, 2007, indebtedness under the term loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the Company’s choice of (i) Base Rate (which is the highest of prime rate and the Federal Funds Rate plus .5%) plus a margin of 3.75% or (ii) the offered rates for Eurodollar deposits (“LIBOR”) of one, two or three months, as selected by the Company, plus a margin of 4.75%. On March 16, 2007, the applicable margin was reduced by 1.0% with an amendment to the term loan facility. As of March 31, 2007, the interest rate on the term loan was 9.11%.
Senior Notes
Muzak LLC together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Muzak Finance Corp., has $220.0 million in principal amount of 10% Senior Notes which mature on February 15, 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Muzak LLC and Muzak Finance Corp. and are subordinate to existing and future secured debt and are senior to Muzak LLC’s existing Senior Subordinated Notes. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (See Note 12). The indenture governing the Senior Notes prohibits the Company from making certain payments such as dividends and distributions of capital stock; repurchases or redemptions of capital stock, and investments (other than permitted investments) unless certain conditions are met by the Company. After February 15, 2007, the issuers may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.5% of the principal which redemption price declines to 100% of the principal amount in 2008.

Senior Subordinated Notes
Muzak LLC together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Muzak Finance Corp., has $115.0 million in principal amount of 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) which mature on March 15, 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Muzak LLC and Muzak Finance Corp and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of Muzak LLC and Muzak Finance Corp. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes prohibits Muzak LLC from making certain payments such as dividends and distributions of its capital stock; repurchases or redemptions of its capital stock, and investments (other than permitted investments) unless certain conditions are met by Muzak LLC. The issuers were able to redeem all or part of the Notes as of March 15, 2004. As of March 15, 2007, the issuers may redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal.
Senior Discount Notes
The Company together with its wholly owned subsidiary Muzak Holdings Finance Corp. has $24.2 million in principal amount of 13% Senior Discount Notes (the “Senior Discount Notes”) due March 2010. The Senior Discount Notes were fully accreted as of March 15, 2004. From and after March 15, 2004, interest began accruing at a rate of 13% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 15 and September 15 to holders of record of the Senior Discount Notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1. Muzak Holdings LLC does not have any operations or assets other than its ownership of Muzak LLC. Accordingly, Muzak Holdings LLC is dependent upon distributions from Muzak LLC in order to pay interest. Muzak LLC’s New Senior Credit Facility, Senior Notes, and Senior Subordinated Notes indentures impose restrictions on its ability to make distributions to Muzak Holdings LLC. The New Senior Credit Facility, the Senior Notes, and Senior Subordinated Notes indentures permit Muzak LLC to make payments and distributions to Muzak Holdings LLC in an amount sufficient to permit Muzak Holdings LLC to make cash interest payments when due, however the senior credit facility requires that certain financial covenant levels be met in order to make such distributions.
Other Debt
Muzak LLC assumed $2.4 million of promissory notes in connection with an acquisition in 1999. All of the notes, with the exception of one, aggregating $1.7 million, bear interest at 9.9% and mature in November 2016. Effective October 2006, the Company is required to make monthly principal and interest payments until maturity.

The Annual maturities schedule includes the principal amount of the Senior Notes which mature in 2009.
Total interest paid by the Company on all indebtedness was $10.1 million and $9.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
6. Redeemable Preferred Units
The Company was in violation of unit coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and annualized operating cash flow under the Securities Purchase Agreement as of March 31, 2007. The Company has been in default of the unit coverage ratio since June 2003, of leverage ratio since December 31, 2003, and of annualized operating cash flow since June 2004. As a result of the defaults, the preferred units accrue at a preferential return of 17% per annum as long as the default is continuing. The Company is projecting to be out of compliance with the unit coverage ratio (the ratio of consolidated operating cash flow to the sum of consolidated interest expense plus the aggregate Series A preferred return, as more specifically defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and leverage ratio for the foreseeable future. As a result of non-compliance with unit coverage ratio and leverage ratio for four consecutive quarters (a Class B and Class A default under the Securities Purchase Agreement, respectively), two of the three preferred unit holders were each entitled to be designated as either a Class B or Class A Director, although neither party has elected to so designate a Class B or Class A Director. As such, the number of Class B Directors and Class A Directors remains unaffected by these defaults. The same two preferred unit holders will each
10
be entitled to designate a Class A Director until such time as the Company complies with the leverage ratio. If the Company is still in default of the unit coverage ratio at the time that the Company complies with the leverage coverage ratio, the same two preferred unit holders would each still be entitled to designate a Class B Director. The foregoing defaults do not result in a cross default under the New Senior Credit Facility or the indentures governing the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes, and the Senior Discount Notes.
7. Restructuring Charges
During January 2006, we reorganized our field management structure, including our Operations, Sales and Customer Service departments. This move was designed to improve our technician productivity and increase our responsiveness to our customer’s needs and requests. As part of this reorganization, the Senior Vice President of Customer Service and the Executive Vice President of Sales, Product and Marketing resigned. The Company created seven Regional Vice President positions that will be directly responsible for the operations, sales and customer service responsibilities of their respective regions. We recorded a restructuring charge of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2006, for severance and related costs.
In June 2005, the Company implemented a revised business plan which entailed streamlining the size of its sales force in order to achieve more moderate growth. This revised business plan seeks to reduce the number of annual new client location additions. This revised plan has contributed to our ability to generate modest positive free cash flow. While there can be no assurances, we expect that the associated decrease in capital investments under the revised business plan will continue to contribute towards our goal of generating free cash flow after debt service obligations.
Following is a summary of the accrued liability for the restructuring charges (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Employee Severance | | Lease Impairment Costs | | | Total | |
Accrued liability as of December 31, 2006 | | $ | — | | $ | 500 | | | $ | 500 | |
Cash payments | | | — | | | (38 | ) | | | (38 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Accrued liability as of March 31, 2007 | | $ | — | | $ | 462 | | | $ | 462 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Employee severance-related costs include the elimination of certain sales, sales support, and operations employees. The reduction in workforce represented an approximate 9% reduction in the Company’s overall workforce. Lease impairment costs relate to certain field office facilities in which the Company has excess office space. The charge reflects the present value of costs that will continue to be incurred under lease contracts without economic benefit due to the excess office space, offset by assumed sublease rental income of approximately $1.1 million.
The Company will pay the charges relating to field office leases over the remaining terms of the leases principally through December 2013.
8. Muzak Holdings Finance Corp. and Muzak Finance Corp.
Muzak Holdings Finance Corp. and Muzak Finance Corp. had no operating activities during the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification
Muzak’s Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of March 18, 1999, as amended, provides for indemnification of directors and officers, including advancement of reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses, in connection with all claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of the management of Muzak’s affairs. Such indemnification obligations are limited to the extent Muzak’s assets are sufficient to cover such obligations. Muzak carries directors and officers insurance that covers such exposure for indemnification up to certain limits.
Litigation
Muzak and the Company are co-defendants in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, by Sound of Music, Ltd., a former franchisee of Muzak. Sound of Music, Ltd. is asserting claims against Muzak and the Company for violation of Federal securities laws, breach of contract and common law fraud. The case has
11
arisen as a result of Sound of Music, Ltd.’s sale of substantially all of its MUZAK® related assets to Muzak and the Company in 2001. Sound of Music, Ltd. commenced this lawsuit more than three years after the parties consummated the purchase and sale transaction and now contends that it did not receive the total consideration promised and that the value of certain Class A units of the Company received in consideration for the assets was misrepresented. Sound of Music, Ltd. is seeking damages in excess of $1 million. While we are unable to predict the outcome of this case, we contend that Sound of Music, Ltd.’s assertions, claims, and allegations against Muzak and the Company are without merit, and we are vigorously contesting the same. Discovery is near conclusion, and we have filed a Motion for Summary Judgment that is currently pending with the court. Both a ruling on our Motion for Summary Judgement and the scheduling of a trail (which had been tentatively set for May 15, 2007) have been postponed pending the finalization of a definite settlement between the parties.
We are the subject of, or a party to, various other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that such proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of our business, and that none of such proceedings, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Other Commitments
As of March 31, 2007, the Company has approximately $10.2 million in outstanding capital expenditure commitments covering a five-year period. The Company is the lessee under various operating and capital leases for equipment, vehicles, satellite capacity, and buildings.
10. Guarantors
The following schedules set forth condensed consolidating financial information as required by Rule 3-10 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 for (1) Muzak Holdings, LLC, (2) Muzak LLC, a co-issuer of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, (3) Muzak Finance Corp., a co-issuer of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Muzak LLC, and (4) on a combined basis, the subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes which include MLP Environmental Music, LLC, Business Sound, Inc., BI Acquisition LLC, Audio Environments, Inc., Background Music Broadcasters, Inc., Muzak Capital Corporation, Telephone Audio Productions, Inc., Muzak Houston, Inc., Vortex Sound Communications Company, Inc., and Music Incorporated, and a subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the Senior Subordinated Notes. The guarantor subsidiaries are direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Muzak Holdings, LLC and have fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes of Muzak LLC and Muzak Finance Corp. Muzak Holdings, LLC has also fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The subsidiary that does not guarantee the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes represents less than 3% of consolidated total assets, members’ interest, revenues, loss before income taxes and cash flow from operating activities. Therefore, the non-guarantor subsidiary information is not separately presented in the tables below but rather is included in the column labeled “Guarantor Subsidiaries”.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent they are not historical facts (such as when we describe what we “believe,” “expect,” or “anticipate” will occur), constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Safe Harbor Acts”). All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the Safe Harbor Acts. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of the Company’s future economic performance taking into account information currently available to management.
Recent Developments
On April 12, 2007, the Company announced that it is contemplating a future consolidation or combination with DMX, Inc. This combination would be contingent on a sale of the combined entity to an as yet unidentified third party buyer following clearance by federal regulators. Accordingly, the parties have submitted a Hart-Scott-Rodino filing seeking clearance for such a transaction. In the interim, Muzak and DMX will remain independent companies and continue to compete and to provide, without disruption, the highest-quality products and services to their respective clients. In connection with the aforementioned plan the Company has incurred costs of $0.8 million which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
On March 16, 2007, the Company amended the New Senior Credit Facility, by extending the maturity from April 2008 to January 2009 and reducing the applicable margin by 1.0% The amendment also includes a provision for a prepayment penalty of 1.0% if certain events occur prior to the one year anniversary of the amendment. The Company recorded fees associated with this amendment of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2007.
Results of Operations
Set forth below are discussions of the results of operations for Muzak Holdings LLC for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The following discussions should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Net Revenues.Revenues were $62.3 million and $59.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 4.9%. Music and other business services revenue increased $0.2 million, or 0.4% in 2007 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This slight increase is due to an increase in pricing and additional services sold to existing clients, offset in part by a slight decrease in the total number of client locations.
Equipment and related services revenue increased 22.4% or $2.7 million in 2007 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to higher equipment sales and an increased in service billings during the quarter.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues was $24.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 39.3% and 41.2% for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Costs of music and other business services revenue as a percentage of music and other business services revenue was 23.1% and 23.3% for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Costs of equipment and related services revenue as a percentage of equipment and related services revenue was 91.9% and 112.3% for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition to equipment costs, these costs include salary, payroll taxes, and employee benefit related costs associated with our field install and service technicians as well as the management and centralized staff that supervises and schedule such technicians. Additionally, these costs also include the warehouse and purchasing functions and vehicle related expenses. The most recent quarter represents continued progress towards improving margin on equipment and related services. The improvement in our margin on equipment and related services is attributed to: increased demand for our equipment and services that improve our utilization of field personnel; continued use of standard prices for equipment; and additional administrative efforts to invoice service-related calls.
19
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $21.1 million and $20.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 2.2%. Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs, a non-cash component of selling, general, and administrative expenses was $3.9 million and $4.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This $0.2 million decrease in amortization of deferred subscriber costs is consistent with the lower installation levels experienced in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to previous periods. The remaining $0.8 million increase in other selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the 2006 period is associated with the potential DMX transaction. The Company recorded $0.8 million of transaction related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization was $12.3 million and $13.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of 6.6%. Depreciation and amortization of $8.2 million and $9.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are excluded from cost of revenue. Depreciation expense decreased $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 2006 due to certain subscriber investments and other fixed assets becoming fully amortized in 2006, along with the lower levels of subscriber investments as a result of lower installations. Amortization expense for the three months ending March 31, 2007 and 2006 remained flat at $3.4 million.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $12.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same 2006 period. This increase is due to an increase in overall interest rates as our New Senior Credit facility, which until March 2007 bore interest at LIBOR plus a 4.75% margin. Interest income generated on the outstanding cash balance is reflected in other income. Interest income was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for quarters ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Income tax provision. Income tax benefit was $102 thousand and $80 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Although the Company is a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, the Company has several subsidiaries that are taxable corporations. The income tax benefit relates to these corporate subsidiaries.
Net Loss. The combined effect of the foregoing resulted in a net loss of $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million for the comparable 2006 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company evaluates the operating performance of its business using several measures, one of them being EBITDA as defined by our Senior Discount Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes, and Senior Notes indentures (defined as earnings before interest, income taxes (benefits), depreciation, and amortization plus all non-cash items reducing consolidated net income for such period except for any non-cash items that represent accruals of, or reserves for, cash disbursements to be made in any future accounting period, minus all non-cash items increasing consolidated net income for such period) (“EBITDA pursuant to the Notes”). EBITDA pursuant to the Notes is not intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as a measure of performance, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, known as GAAP. However, management believes that EBITDA pursuant to the Notes provides useful information because it is used to determine our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Consolidated Leverage ratios (defined as total debt, excluding non-recourse debt, less unrestricted cash divided by EBITDA pursuant to the Notes on a last quarter annualized basis) are the measure used to determine our ability to incur additional indebtedness under the indentures.
The following table provides reconciliation from net income to EBITDA pursuant to the Notes.

Our principal sources of funds is cash generated from operations and current cash balance. Cash was primarily used during the first three months of 2007 to make investments in new client locations and to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Cash flows provided by operations were $9.6 million and $9.6 million, cash flows used in investing activities were $5.9 million and $7.8 million, and cash flows used in financing activities were $1.3 million and $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Working capital was a net source of $2.0 million in 2007 as compared to a net source of $4.1 million in 2006. Accounts receivable and inventory balances resulted in a source of $4.7 million and $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The majority of our capital expenditures are comprised of the initial investment for the installation of equipment for new client locations. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, our total initial net investment in new client locations was $6.0 million, which was comprised of equipment and installation costs attributable to new client locations of $4.9 million and $1.9 million in subscriber acquisition costs (included in cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows) relating to these new locations. The subscriber acquisition costs are capitalized and are amortized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses over the initial contract term. We also receive installation revenue of $0.8 million relating to new locations. This revenue is deferred and amortized as a component of equipment and related services revenue over the initial contract term.
We also invested $1.0 million in system upgrades, furniture and fixtures, and computers to be used at our headquarters. Our investment to replenish the equipment exchange pool relating to our drive-thru systems client locations was $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
21
Over the next twelve months, our future need for liquidity will arise primarily from capital expenditures for investments in new client locations and from interest payments on our indebtedness. The following table summarizes contractual obligations and commitments as of May 11, 2007 (in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
We expect that our primary source of funds will be cash flows from operations and current cash balances. Total cash balance, including restricted cash of $1.7 million, was approximately $28.5 million as of May 10, 2007. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, combined with its cash balances on hand will be sufficient to fund its growth in new client locations and debt service for at least the next twelve months.
Overall, the Company’s business plan anticipates growth in new client locations to be consistent with levels experienced over the last nine months. Given that the Company no longer has a revolving credit facility, if it requires cash in excess of amounts on hand, it may be required, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness, enter into other financing transactions, defer business opportunities, reduce its expenses, or sell assets. Our substantial indebtedness, including significant principle maturities due in 2009, could prove to be difficult to refinance or restructure at favorable terms or at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For the period March 31, 2007, the Company did not experience any material changes in market risk disclosure that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) were effective as of December 31, 2006 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| (i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; |
| (ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and |
| (iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
22
Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. The Company intends to evaluate the effectiveness of its controls over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) during 2007.
There have been no changes during the three months ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting as previous disclosed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
