We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and have not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities or commodity contracts. Operating Activities During the first three months of 2006 cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million as compared with cash used in operating activities of $1.2 million during the first three months of 2005. Although we had a net loss of approximately $19,000 for the first three months of 2006, the increase in working capital, primarily resulting from an increase in accounts receivable, as a result of growth in sales, resulted in negative cash flow from operating activities. Non-cash charges included $0.4 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $0.3 million for deferred taxes. Investing Activities During the first three months of 2006, capital expenditures were approximately $0.2 million, as compared with approximately $0.5 million during the first three months of 2005. Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities was $3.5 million in the first three months of 2006 as compared with approximately $0.5 million in the first three months of 2005. The increase in financing activity during the current year resulted from increased borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund working capital requirements and repayment of long-term debt. March 25, 2005, Butler and GECC entered into an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated September 28, 2001 (the “Credit Agreement”). This amendment, among other things extended the term of the credit facility and two term loans to April 1, 2006 and increased the quarterly principal payments due October 1, 2005 and thereafter on Term A by $1.0 million to $2.0 million. The interest rate on both term loans is based on the 30-day Commercial Paper Rate plus three hundred fifty basis points which is the same interest Butler pays on its Term Loan A. The current interest rate with respect to revolving credit advances is the 30-day Commercial Paper Rate plus three hundred basis points. Interest rate reductions are available for the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A based upon the Company achieving certain financial results, after repayment of Term Loan B. The Company has entered into several amendments to the credit facility with GECC.. Butler has received quarterly amendments to its debt agreements with GECC. As part of one amendment with GECC extending the debt maturities, we were required to increase our quarterly loan payments from $1million to $2 million. We have made all required increased payments since October 2005. The increased loan payments have reduced the availability of credit under our working capital revolver with GECC. On September 29, 2006, we entered into a Thirteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement with GECC, pursuant to which the termination date of the credit facility was extended from October 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. On October 31, 2006, we entered into a Fourteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement with GECC whereby the termination date of the credit facility and term loans was extended from October 31, 2006 to April 30, 2007. On December 14, 2006, we entered into a Fifteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement with GECC, whereby the termination date of the credit facility and term loans was extended from April 30, 2007 to June 30, 2007. On December 21, 2006, we announced the closing on the sale to certain institutional and non-institutional investors (the “Investors”) of $8,500,000 in shares of Series A 7% Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase 2,125,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $2.00 per share in a private placement (the “Offering”). The warrants are callable under certain circumstances. Each share of Preferred Stock, along with warrants to purchase 250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, was issued at a price of $1,000. The Preferred Stock shares are not convertible into Common Stock. From the proceeds of the transaction, we retired $6.0 million in long-term debt with GECC and applied the balance of $2.5 million to the Revolving Credit Facility, also with GECC. On April 30, 2007, we entered into a Sixteenth Amendment and Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement with GECC, whereby GECC waived defaults and events of defaults arising from the company’s failure to deliver Restated Financial Statements, 2005 Year End Financial Information and the annual Financial Statements and all other documentation required for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. |
