Issue No. 86-30 of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force required the debt to be classified as current because it was possible that the Company would not meet the financial covenants under its existing revolving credit agreement at year end, October 26, 1997, unless the bank credit agreement was further amended. On October 9, 1997 the Company negotiated an amendment in the financial covenants through the maturity of the loan, April 26, 1999, and therefore has reclassified the debt as long-term.
