Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 20, 2007, the Registrant entered into a termination agreement with CIT Commercial Services, Inc., a unit of CIT Group (the “Lender”), reflecting the mutual termination of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Registrant’s $30 million senior secured revolving line of credit with the Lender.
The Registrant and the Lender entered into the line of credit in September 2004 for a three year term. It was scheduled to expire on September 29, 2007. Under the line of credit, the Registrant could borrow a maximum of $30 million based on qualified lease receivables. Outstanding borrowings bore interest at prime plus 1.5% for prime rate loans, or at the 90 day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.0% for LIBOR loans.
The Registrant has previously announced that it did not intend to renew the CIT line of credit upon its expiration in September 2007. In connection with the termination, the Registrant repaid the Lender approximately $54,540 representing the outstanding balance on the line of credit. Neither party paid any penalties in connection with the early termination. In connection with the termination, the Lender released all security interests and liens that it held in connection with the Registrant’s secured line of credit.
The Registrant is currently engaged in negotiations with another lending institution in connection with the arrangement of a replacement credit facility. Until such time as a replacement facility is finalized, the Registrant intends to fund new lease originations through cash on hand and cash flow from operations, and it does not anticipate that the termination of the CIT line of credit will have a material impact on its operations or financial condition.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 25, 2007, the Registrant announced its results of operations for the fiscal quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2007. Pursuant to Form 8-K, General Instruction F, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
