W W CAPITAL CORPORATION
FORM 10-K
PART I
Item 1. Business
- ------- --------
(a) General Development of Business
-------------------------------
W W Capital Corporation ("Company") was originally incorporated as Freedom
Acquisition Fund, Inc., a Colorado corporation, on September 23, 1987, to merge
with or engage in a merger with, or acquisition of, one or a small number of
private firms.
On May 16, 1988, the Company completed a public offering of 15,000,000 Units at
an offering price of $.03 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of common
stock, one Class A Warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock
and one Class B Warrant to purchase one additional share of the Company's common
stock. The net proceeds of the offering to the Company were approximately
$240,000. The exercise period of the Class A Warrants expired on September 1,
1989. 3,754,500 Class A Warrants, at a price of $0.035 per common share, were
submitted to the Company's transfer agent for exercise, with proceeds of $131,
408 to the Company before the payment of offering expenses and commissions
associated with the offering. The Class B Warrants expired unexercised in June,
1990.
On December 9, 1989, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to
re-incorporate W W Capital in the State of Nevada and to concurrently therewith,
reverse split on a 1 for 100 basis the authorized shares of common stock from
500,000,000 shares par value $0.0001 per share to 5,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share and the 40,000,000 shares of authorized
preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share to 400,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $10.00 per share. The re-incorporation and reverse stock split was
effective December 15, 1989.
On November 16, 1990, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to increase
the number of authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000
shares.
On August 16, 1988, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of W-W
Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("W-W") one of the oldest and largest livestock
equipment manufacturers in the United States, in exchange for 160,000,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. W-W manufactures a full line of cattle and equine
handling and confinement equipment for use by farmers, ranchers, rodeos, and
universities throughout the United States.
W-W's principals began doing business in Texas City, Texas in 1945 designing and
building their first cattle squeeze chute. Due to production and sales growth,
the principals moved the operation to Dodge City, Kansas, where they established
their first manufacturing facility in 1948. Operations continued to expand and
develop, and on October 18, 1961, W-W was incorporated in the State of Kansas.
On August 15, 1991, the Company entered into an exchange agreement ("Exchange
Agreement") with Titan Industries, Inc., a Nebraska corporation ("Titan"),
whereby the Company would issue to Titan common stock, in exchange for all the
outstanding stock of Titan. The consummation of this Exchange Agreement was
subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company. On December 13, 1991,
the stockholders approved the acquisition. The actual closing and exchange of
stock took place December 30, 1991. Under the terms of the agreement the
stockholders of Titan received 1,600,000 shares of W W Capital Common Stock in
exchange for all the outstanding common shares (7,500) of Titan Industries. The
shares had an aggregate value of $3,600,000 at the date of closing. The purchase
price was arrived at through an arms length negotiation.
On October 26, 1992, the Company entered into an exchange agreement ("Eagle
Exchange Agreement") with Eagle Enterprises, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
("Eagle"), whereby the Company would issue to Eagle common stock, in exchange
for all the outstanding stock of Eagle. The consummation of the Eagle Exchange
Agreement was subject to
4
approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. At a special meeting of the
Board of Directors held October 20, 1992, the Board unanimously approved the
acquisition. The actual closing and exchange of stock took place on October 26,
1992. Under the terms of the Eagle Exchange Agreement, the sole stockholder of
Eagle (Jerry Bellar) received 325,000 shares of W W Capital Corporation common
stock in exchange for all the outstanding common shares (1,539) of Eagle
Enterprises. The shares had an aggregate value of $893,750 at the day of
closing. The purchase price was arrived through an arms length negotiation.
Eagle Enterprises was formed in August 1985 to manufacture livestock handling
equipment. The company is presently located in a 40,000 square foot facility on
11 1/2 acres in Livingston, Tennessee. The Company's primary products are creep,
bunk, mineral and round bale feeders for livestock. The Company also
manufactures livestock panels and gates along with two versions of headgates.
On October 15, 1993, the Company acquired various assets of Wholesale Pump and
Supply, Inc. ("Wholesale") of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by issuing 250,000 shares
of common stock. The shares had an aggregate value of $145,000 at the day of
closing. The purchase of assets was arrived through an arms length negotiation.
Wholesale operated as a division of Titan Industries and distributed water well
supplies and environmental monitoring equipment for testing ground water.
During October 1998, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the merger of
W-W Manufacturing and Eagle Enterprises into one legal entity.
On March 21, 2000, W-W Manufacturing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired various assets and assumed various liabilities of the Adrian J. Paul
Company, (renamed W-W Paul Scales) of Duncan, Oklahoma, out of bankruptcy. The
transaction was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the excess of the
asset values acquired over the liabilities assumed were used first to reduce
long term assets and the remainder was recorded as negative goodwill of $67,210.
W-W Paul Scales operates as a subsidiary of W-W Manufacturing and is currently
doing business in a 35,000 square foot facility leased under a two year
agreement. The Company's primary functions are the manufacture of livestock
scales.
On January 5, 2001, the Shareholders of the Company voted to sell its water and
environmental product segment, Titan Industries, Inc., to certain shareholders
of the Company in exchange for 3,390,399 shares, or approximately 61.2%, of the
common stock of the Company. The transaction had an effective date of December
31, 2000. In addition to giving up its interest in Titan, the Company also
contributed the sum of $850,000 to the capital of Titan to equalize the value of
the consideration being exchanged. The sale was accounted for as a treasury
stock transaction and a loss on disposal of $14,900 was recorded as the result
of professional fees attributable to the transaction.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
---------------------------------------------
The continuing business of the Company is carried on within one segment by three
operating units, each with its own organization. The management of each
operating unit has responsibility for product development, manufacturing,
marketing and for achieving a return on investment in accordance with the
standards and budgets established by W W Capital. Overall supervision,
coordination and financial control are maintained by the executive staff from
the corporate headquarters located at 3500 JFK Parkway, Suite 202, Ft. Collins,
Colorado. As of June 30, 2002, the Company and its segments had approximately
150 employees. The reader is referred to Item 7, Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and notes to the
Company's financial statements for certain financial information regarding this
segment.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
---------------------------------
The registrant conducts its business through its business segment: livestock
handling equipment group. A discussion of this segment follows.
5
LIVESTOCK HANDLING EQUIPMENT GROUP
----------------------------------
Principal Products, Markets and Distribution
- --------------------------------------------
The livestock handling group manufactures a broad line of cattle handling,
equine (horse), and rodeo equipment and containment systems. Farmers, ranchers,
rodeos, county fairs, veterinarians, and universities use this equipment.
Presently, with its 57-year-old history, W-W Manufacturing the primary
subsidiary of this segment, is well recognized in the industry as the leader in
production of livestock equipment. With the acquisition of Eagle Enterprises,
October 1992, the Company has experienced growth with this segment. Eagle had
manufactured all types of livestock feeding equipment and various containment
systems similar to that manufactured by W-W Manufacturing. The Eagle line of
products is primarily distinguished from W-W Manufacturing's products by a
purchase decision that is primarily motivated/driven by pricing considerations.
Since the purchase of Eagle, the Company eliminated some of its line of feeding
equipment which had not been profitable. By elimination of these products, Eagle
has the manufacturing capacity to produce the majority of W-W Manufacturing line
of products, thus improving its delivery time to dealer/distributors in the
east, and southeastern United States. The Eagle plant was realigned to
complement the W-W Manufacturing line of products and all products will be sold
under the W-W Manufacturing name. This is significant since the W-W line has a
long-term (57 years) reputation as an industry leader and manufacturing of
quality equipment. Now that the W-W Manufacturing line is manufactured at Eagle,
Eagle has reintroduced a redesigned feeding line to meet customer needs and
enabling Eagle to produce it profitably. This reintroduction has helped Eagle
reclaim sales levels that were lost when the feeding line was dropped as well as
pick up new sales from customers previously handling the W-W Manufacturing line
only. The redesigned feeding line has been introduced into the midwest and west
markets and is now being manufactured at W-W Manufacturing. Feed equipment has
proven to be a lower margin product line but continues to sell during depressed
market conditions and is used as a lead in product to gain new customers
acceptance for the traditional higher margin W-W working equipment line.
The market for cattle handling equipment is segmented by herd size into economic
classifications. Based upon an independent study done for the Company, it is
believed that economic dissimilarities between large and small operators create
important differences in buying behavior. Recognizing this, management of the
Company has positioned the Company to meet the demands of the market place and
to be able to service both the large and small operator through its sales and
marketing targeted at expanding the dealer/distributor network throughout the
entire United States.
The Company will continue to generate sales by offering special assistance in
design and installation of product. This service has proven to be a valuable
asset in the sale of equipment to large fairs, expo centers, rodeos, and
universities.
Over the years, W-W Manufacturing products have become favored for durability
and ease of use by ranch hands who must work large volumes of cattle. W-W
Manufacturing's presence at rodeos underscores the Company's position in the
marketplace as a producer of equipment for the "working cowboy." W-W
Manufacturing has been responsible for many innovations in rodeo equipment and
has developed a well-respected line for that market. Since 1979, all of the
chutes and rodeo equipment for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys National Finals
Rodeo (NFR) have been supplied by W-W Manufacturing. The NFR is the largest
rodeo championship event in the world. In addition, W-W Manufacturing has
provided all the equipment for the International Rodeo Association Finals since
1978 and for many other top rodeos across the country.
In the past, the Company has produced both heavy duty and portable horse stalls.
These products have been primarily used by commercial users and exposition
centers. Based on the success of the commercial horse stalls, the Company has
introduced stalls designed for the equine hobbyist and horse show enthusiast.
Aesthetics, ease of use and durability are considered by management to be the
main selling points of this kind of equipment. The new horse stalls have been
marketed through the distributor network already established by the Company.
6
With the acquisition of Adrian J. Paul Scales in March 2000 the Company entered
the new market of livestock scales. These scales are used to weigh and track the
development of various livestock. This market compliments the W-W line of
equipment and can be sold by the existing W-W distributor/dealer network. Also
the W-W line of products is being offered and sold by the distributors and
dealers of theW-W Paul Scale Company. The Company is in the process of
developing several new scales that will compliment and work interrelated with
the W-W cattle line of chutes.
Cost of distribution of products has and will continue to be a problem for the
customers and the Company. To help lower this cost, the Company needs to
continue to find ways to fill trucks with a variety of products. With the
reintroduction of the feed equipment, and other horse related products, the
Company believes these products will help reduce its distribution cost and
provides its customer the opportunity to carry more items with less depth of
inventory.
Management believes these developments are key to the success of the Company's
future expansion, and intends to continue to increase its dealer/distributor
network vigorously. Demonstrations, seminars and special designs will continue
to be offered and special discounts given to principal distributors for volume
purchases.
Raw Materials and Facilities
- ----------------------------
The manufacture of livestock handling equipment requires various sizes of steel,
tubing, and other related steel products. The products necessary for fabrication
of equipment are purchased from numerous steel companies, and the Company has
experienced no difficulties in obtaining adequate supplies. The divisions of
this segment are located as follows: W-W Manufacturing, the largest by sales
volume of the three divisions, is located at Route 1, Box 138, Hwy 54, Thomas,
Oklahoma. Eagle Enterprises, is located at 175 Windle Community Road,
Livingston, Tennessee. W-W Paul Scales is located at Hwy 81 South, Duncan,
Oklahoma.
Competition
- -----------
The Company encounters competition in varying degrees in both cattle handling
and equine product lines. Competitors are primarily domestic producers of
similar products. These companies compete in price, delivery schedules, quality,
product performance, and other conditions of sales. During 2002 and 2001,
management invested in new equipment, did extensive training, scheduled many
live demonstrations, improved plant efficiencies, introduced new product
improvements and new products, in order to maintain its competitive edge.
Strategy for Growth
- -------------------
Growth is anticipated in two areas. First, the Company will continue to expand
the distributor/dealer network throughout the country. Future growth will,
however, be constrained by availability of capital resources and continuing good
market conditions.
Diversification into related product areas now served by the Company could
afford a second area for growth. Management believes W-W Manufacturing's 57 year
old reputation for quality, as well as for introducing new innovations into
existing products, has positioned the Company ideally as a marketer for new
products of its own as well as other companies' products.
Continued emphasis will be put on specials and special sales to universities,
expo centers and fairgrounds. This highly visible use of equipment provides
product endorsement for the standard line of products and help
distributors/dealers to sell product to the end consumer.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE BUSINESS
------------------------------------------
Patents and Trademarks
- ----------------------
With the purchase of the Adrian J. Paul Company, the livestock handling
equipment segment, has acquired various patents. These patents are all current
and registered with the United States Patent Trademark Office. These patents
deal with systems for weighing non-stationary objects, torque bar suspension
scales with strap assemblies and an on board truck weighing system.
Seasonality
- -----------
The Company experiences seasonality in sales. The livestock handling equipment
product segment has increased sales in the fall through spring and lower sales
in summer.
Practice Relating to Working Capital
- ------------------------------------
The information relating to this Item is included under Item 7, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Dependence Upon a Single Customer
- ---------------------------------
Not Applicable
Dollar Amount of Backlog Orders
- -------------------------------
Backlog in the livestock handling equipment group was $750,000 in 2002 as
compared to $824,000 in 2001. This decrease from 2001 is due to depressed
economic conditions and the extraordinary hot and dry summer. This is expected
to improve as we move into the fall season.
Business Subject to Renegotiation at Election of Government
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Not Applicable
Research and Development Expenditures
- -------------------------------------
Due to the nature of manufacturing operations of the Company and the types of
products produced expenditures for research and development are not material to
the overall operating cost.
Compliance with Environmental Controls
- --------------------------------------
The Company has faced issues with the EPA regarding its paint systems located at
various plants. The problems with the Dodge City, Kansas and temporary Thomas,
Oklahoma plants were solved with the powder coat paint system that was installed
in the new plant in Thomas, Oklahoma, which has passed all EPA requirements. In
the Eagle plant located in Livingston, Tennessee, the Company was issued a
temporary paint operating permit through December 31, 2001. By that time, the
Company was to be in compliance with the VOC's and HAP's emitted due to the
present flow coat paint system and to install a powder coat paint system. Over
the past two years, management has worked with various paint suppliers to come
up with a solution that solved the problem of emissions in the air thereby
lowering the VOC's to an acceptable level and meet other governmental
guidelines. Management has located the majority of the powder coat system to be
installed and has placed a $175,000 refundable deposit on the system. Management
has been in contact with the EPA offices and is presently negotiating an
extension of its' current permit until the new powder coat system is installed.
To the best of its knowledge, the Company believes that it is presently in
substantial compliance with all other existing environmental laws.

On January 5, 2001, the Shareholders of the Company voted to sell it's water and
environmental product segment, Titan Industries, Inc., to certain shareholders
of the Company in exchange for 3,390,399 shares, or approximately 61.2% of the
common stock of the Company. The transaction had an effective date of December
31, 2000. In addition to giving up its interest in Titan, the Company also
contributed the sum of $850,000 to the capital of Titan to equalize the value of
the consideration being exchanged. The sale was accounted for as a treasury
stock transaction and the loss on disposal of $14,900 was the result of
professional fees attributable to the transaction.
As a result of the sale of Titan, the accompanying financial statements have
been restated for the years presented to reflect proper accounting treatment for
discontinued operations. The reader should be aware that the management
discussion and analysis for all years presented have been restated to include
only discussion of the livestock equipment segment. Sales in the water and
environmental product segment, disposed of during 2001, were $4,699,336 for the
six month period ended December 31, 2000 and $9,053,166 for the year ended June
30, 2000. Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreased during the six month
period ended December 31, 2000 to 14.3% as compared to 17.2% in fiscal 2000.
Total selling expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 6.1% for fiscal
2000 to 4.8% for the six month period ended December 31, 2000. General and
administration expense as a percentage of sales also dropped from 7.6% at fiscal
2000 to 6.5% for the six month period ended December 31, 2000. Total interest
expense for the six month period ended December 31, 2000 was $80,659 and
$145,481 for fiscal 2000.
12
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2001.
The Company had net earnings of $54,464 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as
compared to a net loss of $174,136 for the year ended June 30, 2001. This
increase in net earnings of $228,600 reflects the Company's recovery from
transition costs associated with the opening of the new Thomas, Oklahoma plant,
expenses related to the sale of Titan Industries as well as a general slowdown
in the economy felt throughout the United States during 2001and the first six
months of fiscal 2002. Even though sales were down slightly, overall production
efficiencies were felt with the opening of the new Thomas plant. It is believed
that as operations stabilize at the new plant, that production efficiencies will
also continue to improve during fiscal 2003.
Sales decreased from $13,092,869 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 to
$12,652,044 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. This decrease of $440,825,
or 3.4%, was primarily due to a sluggish economic environment experienced during
the first six months of the year, the effects of the September 11, 2001 tragedy
as well as very dry weather conditions felt throughout the Western and Southern
regions of the United States.
Sales at the W-W Manufacturing location in Thomas, Oklahoma increased $454,166,
from $7,623,492 in fiscal 2001 to $8,077,658 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2002. Sales at the Livingston, Tennessee location decreased $445,722, from
$3,448,948 in fiscal 2001 to $3,003,256 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
The increase in sales at the Thomas location and related decrease in sales at
the Livingston location are primarily due to transferring sales to Thomas
because of the demand from our distributor/dealer network for a powder coat
paint finish only offered at the Thomas location at this time. The Company is
continuing its effort to remodel and update the Livingston location in order to
house their own powder coat paint system. Sales at the W-W Paul location in
Duncan, Oklahoma decreased $449,298 from $2,020,427 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001 to $1,571,130 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Because of
the sluggish economy and hot/dry conditions in the South, in addition to the
manufacturing of livestock scales and hydraulic chutes, the Duncan location was
also used as a support to the Thomas plant by manufacturing certain parts and
equipment, then shipping to Thomas for painting. This allowed the Duncan plant
to reduce production down time as well as to keep any potential layoffs to a
minimum. The Company is planning promotions and specials in an effort to
maintain or improve sales levels through the new year. The Company continues to
introduce new additions to the product line, along with analyzing improvements
to existing products, which will help increase sales due to exposure in related
markets.
Gross margins increased from 17.4% in fiscal 2001 to 23.1% in fiscal 2002. This
increase of 5.7% is due to several factors with the primary factor being
decreased labor and manufacturing costs associated with running two plants while
moving the largest plant from Dodge City, Kansas to Thomas, Oklahoma during
2001. The entire moving process took approximately four months to complete.
Another factor contributing to the increase in gross margins are the result of
labor, shipping and manufacturing efficiencies realized at the new plant during
the last six months of the fiscal year. Management anticipates keeping gross
margins in line as the Company begins to feel the effects of the new plant. The
Company continues to seek improvements through manufacturing system analysis as
well as price adjustments.
Selling expense as a percentage of sales increased from 7.8% in fiscal 2001 to
9.1% in fiscal 2002. Total dollars expended for selling expense increased
$129,435 for the year. This increase reveals the Company's aggressive pursuit of
new markets and expanding its distributor/dealer base. Additionally, the
increase is attributable to higher costs related to traveling expenses by
salesmen and expanded exposure to new trade shows not attended by the Company in
prior years. With the completion of the new Thomas plant and purchase of a
powder coat paint system, the Company feels it can expand into markets not
previously covered. Management continues to evaluate selling expense to seek
ways of keeping costs in line as a percentage of sales.
13
General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales from
10.3% in fiscal 2001 to 12.1% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. This
increase is a result of a write down of the accounts receivable balance of one
large account that is in default of credit terms. Management is continuing
collection efforts and believes it is reasonably possible it will collect the
balance due. Overall dollars spent for general and administrative cost, not
including bad debt write downs, decreased $104,885 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 which was primarily due to legal
expenses related to the Titan spin off during fiscal 2001. The Company continues
to look for ways to lower general and administrative expense through
centralization, job realignment, and line-by-line expense reductions.
Interest expense increased in fiscal 2002 to $338,248 as compared to $296,265 in
2001. This increase is due to higher borrowings on the Company's' revolving line
of credit to support the Titan split-off, the manufacturing plant move and the
slow down in sales due to current economic conditions felt throughout the
country. As profits and cash flow increase, the Company plans to reduce debt,
thereby reducing overall interest expense.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2000.
The Company had a net loss of $174,136 for the year ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to net earnings of $338,777 for the year ended June 30, 2000. The net
loss is attributed to several factors with the most notable being the cost to
move the largest production plant, formally in Dodge City, Kansas, to its new
modern facility in Thomas, Oklahoma. Moving expenses incurred of approximately
$112,000 included the loading, transporting and unloading of inventory and
equipment, training of new employees, relocation expenses for certain employees,
payroll expenses running dual plants during the four month moving process, set
up costs for the new plant and the cost to clean up the old plant in Dodge City.
Prior to moving, the Company incurred significant expense in training Oklahoma
employees by having them spend time in Dodge City, Kansas working with those
employees to learn the production process needed at the new plant in Oklahoma.
The cost related to this training was approximately $42,000. Other expenses
relating to the loss were costs associated to the sale of Titan Industries
during the year of $14,900 and other unrelated legal expenses of approximately
$78,000. Lower margins were also affected by costs at the new plant immediately
following the move due to the production flow inefficiencies and the learning
process of some of the new employees. Had the Company not incurred these
expenses management believes the Company would have continued to be profitable
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001.
Sales improved to $13,092,869 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to $12,210,587 for the same period of 2000. This increase of $882,282,
or 7.2%, is due to WW Paul Scales recording twelve months of sales for the year
compared to only four months for fiscal 2000.
Sales at the W-W Manufacturing location in Thomas, Oklahoma, which includes
sales at the Dodge City, Kansas location that was moved during a four month
process of February through May of 2001 to Thomas, decreased from $8,384,438 in
fiscal 2000 to $7,727,463 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. This decrease
of $656,975 was primarily due to production down time during the move and
sluggish economic conditions experienced during the last quarter of the fiscal
year. Sales at the Livingston, Tennessee location declined slightly from
$3,604,068 in fiscal 2000 to $3,448,948 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001.
The decrease of $155,120 was due to slow sales during late spring into early
summer. Despite the sluggish economy, the Company planned promotions and
specials in an effort to maintain or improve sales levels through the fall and
winter selling season. The Company introduced new additions to the product line
along with product improvements throughout 2002. Also, management entered into a
marketing agreement to sell related products not presently produced by the
Company to enhance its equine product line. The Company believes the addition of
these outside products will help increase sales of its own products due to
increased exposure in related markets. With the completion of the new plant in
Thomas, Oklahoma the Company now has a production facility that will add
significant production capacity therefore allowing for an aggressive marketing
plan to be put in place.
14
Gross margins decreased from 20.4% in fiscal 2000 to 17.4% in fiscal 2001. This
decrease of 3.0% is due several factors with the primary factor being increased
labor cost of running both plants while moving from Dodge City, Kansas to
Thomas, Oklahoma. During the moving process, the Company continued operations at
the old plant in Dodge City while gearing up operations at the new plant in
Thomas, Oklahoma. The entire moving process took approximately four months to
complete and excess labor was used to have both plants producing products while
additional labor was needed for the moving process of loading and unloading
material and equipment at both plants. Another factor contributing to the
decrease in gross margins was the production inefficiencies at the new plant
while employees were learning their jobs and production flows could be
established.
Selling expense as a percentage of sales remained relatively constant in fiscal
2001 at 7.8% as compared to 7.9% in the same period of fiscal 2000. The Company
continued its aggressive marketing approach directed at developing new
distributors/dealers in areas not previously covered. With the new plant and
powder coat paint system, the Company has a competitive advantage with a
superior product and feels it can attack new markets that it could not in
previous years.
General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales from 8.8%
in fiscal 2000 to 10.3% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. This increase
was due primarily to legal fees, higher management travel costs related to the
move from Dodge City, Kansas to Thomas, Oklahoma, and other start up costs
related to the new plant.
Interest expense increased in fiscal 2001 to $296,265 as compared to $171,124 in
2000. This increase is due to higher borrowing on the Companies revolving line
of credit to cover plant moving costs, accrued interest on the note payable used
to finance the sale of its water and environmental segment, Titan Industries,
and the addition of the capital lease on the new production facility in Thomas,
Oklahoma. As the Company settles into its new plant and inventory levels off,
the Company anticipates that borrowing on its revolving line will be reduced to
normal levels.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1999.
The Company had net earnings of $338,777 for the year ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to $104,808 for the same period of 1999. The Company has exhausted net
operating losses carried over from prior years, therefore, the financial
statements reflect income tax expense from continuing operations of $50,000 for
the year ended June 30, 2000, as compared to no tax expense in 1999. On a
comparison basis, earnings before income taxes and discontinued operations were
$321,600 for the year ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $46,925 for the year
ended June 30, 1999. The improvement in earnings was due to the overall increase
in sales, higher gross margins, and by strong market acceptance of new products.
Total sales reached a record level of $12,210,587 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2000, as compared to $9,108,446 for the same period of 1999 representing an
increase of $3,102,141 or 34.1%. Sales at the Dodge City location increased
$1,824,409 and by $810,599 at the Livingston, Tennessee plant. Part of the
increase in sales for the livestock segment is due to the purchase of the Adrian
J. Paul Scale Company, later renamed W-W Paul Scales on March 21, 2000. Of the
total livestock equipment segment, sales by W-W Paul Scales represented $467,133
or 3.8% of total sales and 15.1% of the increase in sales.
Sales in the livestock equipment segment improved to $12,210,587 as stated
earlier. The increase of $3,102,141 is attributable to many factors including
the purchase of the Adrian J. Paul Company. The assets of this company were
purchased out of bankruptcy on March 21, 2000 and accounted for as a purchase.
The name of the company subsequent to the acquisition has been changed to W-W
Paul Scales. Sales reported from the purchase date through the fiscal year end
of June 30, 2000 amounted to $467,133. Other factors attributing to the sales
increase is the continued effort of the sales staff to find new
distributors/dealers throughout the upper Midwest and western states. Sales were
dramatically increased at the eastern plant (Livingston, Tennessee) due to one
of the Company's larger customers acquiring a competitor in the southeastern
part of the United States. Sales also improved due to the strong acceptance of
the Company's
15
equine products. Cattle product sales in all markets continue to
improve due to the strong cattle prices and an overall strong economy. Special
sales to expo centers, universities and fairgrounds also contributed to the
year's record sales. The Company continues to increase sales efforts in this
market, since it is an area the Company feels has tremendous growth
opportunities. Sales at the Dodge City plant improved due to the production
support from the hydraulic plant in Oklahoma. With the past and continued labor
problems and production inefficiencies in the Dodge City plant, some of the
production had to be moved to Oklahoma until the new plant in Thomas is
complete. As reported in Fiscal 1999, management has successfully reached an
agreement with the Economic Development Authority of Thomas, Oklahoma to
construct a new modern facility to house the consolidation of the Dodge City
facility and temporary Thomas location. The facility will be owned by the City
of Thomas and the Company will lease/purchase it over a twenty-year term.
Gross margins in the livestock handling equipment segment improved to 20.4% in
fiscal 2000 compared to 19.5% in 1999. The improvement was realized despite the
labor and production problems that persist at the Dodge City location. To combat
these problems, the Company has used the other production facilities in Oklahoma
to help produce product and ship to Dodge City for paint and distribution to
customers. With these steps taken, the Company was able to introduce new
products and expand some existing lines, which enabled sales to increase,
thereby improving gross margins.
Selling expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.9% in fiscal 2000 as
compared to 9.3% in 1999. This decrease was due to the significant increase in
sales without the related increase in expense. The total dollars expended on
selling expense did increase from $847,566 in 1999 to $963,904 in 2000. This
increase was due to higher travel cost related to higher fuel prices, lodging
costs, and airline fares. The Company had expected to spend more dollars on
introducing new products and expanding product lines into new markets not
previously serviced. The increased sales expense is a direct effect of the
aggressive sales and marketing plan maintained by the Company over previous
years, and new sales personnel added.
General and administration expense increased from 8.4% as a percentage of sales
in 1999 to 8.8% in fiscal 2000. The total dollars spent on general and
administration expenses increased from $762,517 in 1999 to $1,072,199 in fiscal
2000. This increase was attributed to the write off of accounts receivables,
costs of start-up activities at the Adrian J. Paul Company and professional
fees.
Interest expense increased slightly in fiscal 2000 to $171,124 from $164,755 for
the same period of 1999. This increase of $6,369 is directly related to the
raise in the prime interest rate, and increase costs of carrying higher
inventories and accounts receivable resulting from the growth in sales.
Inflation:
Inflation has not been a significant factor in net income in recent years
because of the relatively modest rate of price increases in the United States.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are from working capital,
internally generated funds and borrowing under its various credit facilities.
The Company believes that these sources are sufficient to fund the current
requirements of working capital, capital expenditures and other financial
commitments. The Company has in place a revolving debt facility that could
provide up to $2,200,000. The Company's working capital improved for the year
ended June 30, 2002 to $2,003,747 as compared to $1,676,546 for June 30, 2001.
16
The Company consumed funds from operations of $88,724 primarily caused by an
increase in net accounts receivable balances. The provision for loss on the
write off of accounts receivables amounted to $306,328 in fiscal 2002 as
compared to $28,212 for the year ended June 30, 2001. This increase is due to
the write down of a large account that is in default of credit terms. The
Company is vigorously trying to collect this receivable and believes it is
reasonably possible that it will succeed.
The Company used cash in investing activities for the purchase and replacement
of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities decreased to
$37,124 for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to $105,364 for the same
period of 2001. Cash purchases for property and equipment decreased $136,928
from $179,306 in 2001 to $42,378 in 2002. This decrease reflects the significant
amounts invested in property and equipment during the move into the new plant in
Thomas, Oklahoma in 2001.
Net cash provided from financing activities resulted in a net increase in
borrowing on its revolving credit line of $150,882. This increase was necessary
to fund the Titan split-off, the manufacturing plant move and the slow down in
sales due to current economic conditions felt throughout the country. As the
Company moves into fiscal 2003 it anticipates that borrowing under its revolving
line will decrease as operations at the new production plant in Oklahoma become
more efficient and overall cash flow improves.
The Company amended its three-year loan arrangement with its principal lender,
Wells Fargo Business Credit, during the year, increasing its upper borrowing
limits in case it was needed to supply the present and future growth of the
Company. Terms and conditions of the agreement were not altered significantly
from the original term agreement, therefore providing adequate lines to meet
current and future needs. Another of the Company's lending institutions, Gold
Bank of Weatherford, Oklahoma, agreed to refinance existing debt into a new loan
on equipment in Duncan, Oklahoma and to loan on certain rental real estate
purchased in Thomas, Oklahoma. All other banking and credit agreements were
satisfactorily maintained throughout fiscal 2002.
Even with the weakened economic climate and the tragedy of September 11, 2001,
the Company has been able to maintain sales at reasonable levels. Gross margins
may be weakened due to increased promotional costs and discount incentives used
to maintain sales levels. Despite these facts, the Company does anticipate
continued profitable operations during fiscal 2003.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Market
risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices such as interest rates. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect
the fair value of financial instruments but do not impact earnings or cash
flows. Conversely for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not
affect the fair market value but do impact future earnings and cash flow,
assuming other factors are held constant. At June 30, 2002, the Company had
variable rate notes payable of approximately $2,643,000. Holding other variables
constant, the pre-tax earnings and cash flow impact for the next year resulting
from a one percentage point increase in interest rates would be approximately
$26,000.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2002
================================================================================
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations. W W Capital Corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) principally engage in the
manufacture, distribution and sale of a wide range of livestock
confinement and handling equipment, and in the processing, purchasing
and distributing of water and environmental products.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of W W Capital Corporation and all of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, W-W Manufacturing Co., Inc. (W-W
Manufacturing) and Titan Industries, Inc. (Titan). W-W Manufacturing
Co. acquired WW Paul Scales on March 21, 2000. The accounts of WW Paul
Scales, since its acquisition, are included in the consolidated
financial statements. In January 2001, the Company sold its water and
environmental product segment, Titan Industries, Inc. The Company's
consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the
segment as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Company's consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company uses the allowance
method of accounting for bad debts. The allowance for bad debts is
based on estimates and it is reasonably possible they may change in
the near term.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost includes materials, labor and production costs and is
determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated
methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are
generally thirty to forty years for buildings and improvements, three
to seven years for leasehold improvements and automobiles and trucks,
and five to seven years for machinery and equipment and office
equipment. Amortization of property and equipment under capital leases
is included in depreciation expense.
Loan Acquisition Costs. Loan acquisition costs were incurred to
obtain certain of the Company's long-term debt. Such costs have been
capitalized and are being amortized over the terms of the related
debt.
Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets to be held and used are
recorded at cost. Management reviews long-lived assets and the related
intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing
the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which
the assets relate, to the carrying amount including associated
intangible assets of such operation. If the operation is determined to
be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then
intangible assets are written down first, followed by the other
long-lived assets of the operation, to fair value. Fair value is
determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values,
depending upon the nature of the assets.

================================================================================
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Warranty. The Company provides a warranty to its customers and
the related costs are recorded at the time of service. Future warranty
costs are not considered significant to the financial statements as
most warranty work, if any, is generally performed shortly after the
sale.
Negative Goodwill. Negative goodwill was recorded in the
acquisition of the Adrian J. Paul Company. It is the excess of the
value of acquired assets over the total cash paid and liabilities
assumed, after reducing long-term assets. The Company is amortizing
negative goodwill using the straight-line method over a 20-year life.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires that unamortized negative
goodwill arising from a business combination, for which the
acquisition date was before July 1, 2001, shall be written off and
recognized as a change in accounting principle. The change in
accounting principle will be recognized on July 1, 2002 with an
increase in income of $61,744.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company applies the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123
(FAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Statement
defined a fair value based method of accounting for stock options or
similar equity instruments. FAS 123 allows an entity to continue to
measure compensation cost for employee stock option plans using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, which was elected by the
Company. FAS 123 requires the Company to make certain proforma
disclosures as if the fair value based method had been applied. The
effects of the fair value based method for the periods presented were
not material for proforma disclosure.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in the period
the product is shipped and title is transferred to the customer.
Shipping and handling charges are included in net sales and the relate
costs are included in cost of goods sold.
Advertising. The Company expenses the cost of advertising the
first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for the
years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $145,639, $137,045 and
$85,795, respectively.
Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary
differences resulting from income and expense items reported for
financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred
income taxes are classified as current or noncurrent, depending on the
classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.
Deferred income taxes arising from temporary differences that are not
related to an asset or liability are classified as current or
noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences
are expected to reverse. The recognition of deferred tax assets is
reduced if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on
available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Per Share Data. Basic earnings per share were computed on the
basis of weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share includes outstanding stock options, unless the
effect would be antidilutive.

Note 9 - Business Combination
On March 21, 2000, W-W Manufacturing, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of WW Capital Corporation, acquired various assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Adrian J. Paul Company, out of
bankruptcy. Adrian J. Paul Company is located in Duncan, Oklahoma and
is a manufacturer of scales used by the livestock industry. Subsequent
to the acquisition, Adrian J. Paul Company was renamed WW Paul Scales.
W-W Manufacturing assumed liabilities of $383,990 to acquire
the assets. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the excess of asset values over the total of cash paid and
liabilities assumed were used first to reduce long-term assets. The
remainder was recorded as negative goodwill of $67,210.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
acquisition from the date acquired. The following unaudited pro forma
summary presents the consolidated results of operations of the Company
for the year ended June 30, 2000 as if the business combination had
occurred on July 1, 1999.

handling equipment customers are principally resellers and are
primarily located in the Midwest, Tennessee and Georgia. At June 30,
2002, the Company's accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful

During 2002, a single customer accounted for 11% of net sales.
Note 12 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses fair value to the extent practicable for
financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the
balance sheet. The fair value of the financial statements disclosed
herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be
realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider tax
consequences of realization. The carrying value of cash, trade
receivables, notes receivables and accounts payable and variable rate
debt instruments approximate fair value. The carrying value of
long-term debt approximates fair value in 2002 and 2001 due to the
scheduled maturities and restrictive provisions of the debt.
Note 13 - Contingencies
Environmental. The Company's past and present operations include
activities that are subject to federal and state environmental
regulations.
The Company has been notified by the Environmental Protection
Agency that the flow coat paint system located in its Livingston,

The Company has placed a $175,000 refundable deposit in a powder coat
paint system with a total estimated cost of $400,000, including
required plant renovations. The new paint system is expected to comply
with federal and state regulations and to improve the quality of its

expired on December 31, 2001. The Company is negotiating with the
Environmental Protection Agency for an extension of the permit. The
accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for costs
which may result from this contingency. It is reasonably possible this
estimate may change in the near term, and the change may be material
to the financial statements.
Note 14 - Partially Self-Insured Health Insurance
The Company is partially self-insured for losses and liabilities
related to health insurance claims. Losses are accrued based upon the
Company's estimates and experience. The plan includes a $30,000
stop-loss provision per month. The self-insurance liability of $60,000
at June 30, 2002 and $88,692 at June 30, 2001 is included in current
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 15 - Subsequent Events
On July 2, 2002, the Company exercised an option to purchase the
production facility in Duncan, Oklahoma, which it had been leasing. To
finance the purchase, the Company borrowed $50,000 from the Duncan
Area Economic Development Foundation which bears interest at 5% and is
payable in monthly installments of $944, including principal and
interest, through July 2007. Additionally, the Company borrowed
$160,584 from a financial institution. The loan bears interest at 6%
and is payable in monthly installments of $1,790, including principal
and interest, through July 2012. Both of these notes are
collateralized by the production facility.

which resulted in additional borrowings of $184,447. The new term loan
bears interest at 4% over the Bank's base rate and is payable in
monthly principal installments of $6,250 plus interest through October
2004, at which time the remaining principal balance is due. The note

corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Nevada and in every other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or
the ownership of its properties requires such qualification and in which the
failure to so qualify would materially adversely affect the business operations
or financial condition of the Company. The Company has the proper authority and
power to own its properties and carry on its business as currently being
conducted.

delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by
the Company of its obligations thereunder, are within its power, have been duly

which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, and do not require the
approval or consent of any governmental body, agency or authority or
5
any other person or entity, or, to the extent approval is required, such
approval has been obtained. The Loan Documents to which the Company is a party,
when executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and binding obligations
of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general application affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights and except to the extent that general
principles of equity might restrict the specific enforcement of such Loan
Documents.
5.3 Litigation. Except as disclosed in writing to the Lender,
there is no litigation or administrative proceeding pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or the properties of
the Company that if decided or resolved adversely to the Company or its
properties would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its properties
taken as a whole.
5.4 No Default. There exists no material default nor has any
act or omission occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of
time, would constitute a material default under the provisions of any instrument

agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party as of the date of this
Agreement.
5.5 Ownership of Pledged Securities; Liens. On the Closing

pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement hereunder) or other encumbrances. The
Company has not entered into or granted any mortgages, agreements, or permitted
the filing or attachment of any security interests, liens or encumbrances on or
affecting the Exchanging Shareholders' Shares pledged by the Company to secure
repayment of the Promissory Note that would be prior or that may in any way be
superior to the Lender's security interests and rights in and to such Exchanging
Shareholders' Shares granted to the Lender except as permitted in this Loan
Agreement or as disclosed in writing to the Lender.

secure repayment of the Promissory Note. Neither the Company nor its
Subsidiaries have entered into or granted any mortgages, agreements, or
permitted the filing or attachment of any security interests, liens or
encumbrances on or affecting said assets that would be prior or that may in any
way be superior to the Lender's security interests and rights in and to such
assets except as permitted in this Loan Agreement or as disclosed in writing to
the Lender.

federal and state income and other tax returns, which are required to be filed.

notice by the Company from the Lender; or

pay when due any of its other obligations, such default shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days and such default would

unless the Company, in good faith, is disputing the existence or
amount of such obligation and has set aside a reserve sufficient
to cover such obligation; or

whether in tort, contract or otherwise (and their respective employees,
officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents) arising out of or relating to
in any way the Loan Documents or transactions which are the subject of this
Agreement and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration,
repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement,
enforcement, default or termination. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed
in Denver, Colorado; (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of
the United States Code); and (iii) be conducted in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA").
The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of either party to (i)
foreclose against collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to
collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii)
obtain provisional ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief,
attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before, during or after the
pendency or any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a
waiver of the right or obligation of either party to submit any dispute to
arbitration, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed
in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.
13
Any arbitration proceeding will be before a single arbitrator selected
according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The arbitrator will be
a neutral attorney who has practiced in the area of commercial law for a minimum
of ten years. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is
arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining
any claim. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction.
In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only
or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions which
are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for
summary adjudication.
In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted and will be
governed by the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. All discovery must be
completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of
the commencement of arbitration proceedings. Any requests for an extension of
the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final
determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is
essential for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for
obtaining information is available.
The arbitrator shall award costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Promissory Note and/or
other Loan Documents.

Exhibit 10.6
PROMISSORY NOTE DATED SEPTEMBER 20, 2001 GIVEN BY
THE REGISTRANT TO WEST-OK INVESTMENT, LLC.
PROMISSORY NOTE
$1,000,000.00 September 20, 2001
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and intending to be legally bound, W.W. CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a Nevada Corporation ("Debtor") hereby promises to pay to the order
of WEST-OK INVESTMENT, LLC., an Oklahoma limited liability company whose address
is 115 West Orient, Thomas, Oklahoma 73669 ("Holder") the principal amount of
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) ("Principal Amount") subject to the following
terms and conditions:
1. Commencing effective as of January 5, 2001, the outstanding principal
amount of this Note shall bear interest at the rate of 3 percentage points above
the Wall Street Prime lending rate (currently 9.5%) per annum until the
principal amount hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, has been
paid in full. Hereinafter, the total outstanding principal balance hereof,
together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be referred to as
the "Loan Amount."
2. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinbelow set forth, the Loan
Amount shall be payable as follows:
(a) No payments shall be due or payable for the period commencing on
the date hereof and ending on January 5, 2002 (the "Abatement
Period"). Interest shall continue to accrue on the unpaid portion
of the Principal Amount during the Abatement Period.
(b) On January 5, 2003, the Debtor shall pay to the Holder one
payment consisting exclusively of twelve months accrued interest.
(c) On January 5, 2003, all accrued but unpaid interest shall be
added to the unpaid Principal Amount and shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "Remaining Loan Amount." Commencing on January
5, 2003, and continuing on the 5th day of each month thereafter
until the entire Remaining Loan Amount has been paid in full, the
Debtor shall pay to the Holder one-ninety-sixth (1/96th) of the
Remaining Loan Amount plus any unpaid interest which has accrued
on the Remaining Loan Amount. By way of example, because all
accrued but unpaid interest as of January 5, 2003 will be
included in the Remaining Loan Amount, the payment due to Holder
on January 5, 2003 pursuant to this Section 2(c) will consist
exclusively of one-ninety-sixth (1/96th) of the Remaining Loan
Amount. The payment due Holder on February 5, 2003, and on each
month thereafter, will consist of one-ninety-sixth (1/96th) of
the Remaining Loan Amount plus any interest which has accrued on
the Remaining Loan Amount from the date of the last payment
through the payment date. If not sooner paid, the final
installment, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, shall
be due and payable on January 5, 2010.
3. If Debtor shall default in the payment of principal hereunder when the
same shall become due and payable, the unpaid principal sum of this Note shall
immediately bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until
paid in full, and shall be payable monthly or, at the option of Holder hereof,
on demand.
A-1
4. Debtor may at any time, upon ten days advance notice, prepay the entire
unpaid principal of this Note or any part thereof without additional interest or
penalty. Any prepayment in part shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid
interest hereunder, and second to installments of principal in the reverse order
of maturity.
5. Payments of both principal and interest on this Note shall be made to
Holder in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States.
6. This Note is fully negotiable and may be assigned by Holder. Neither
this Note nor the obligations of Debtor hereunder may be assigned or delegated
by Debtor without the prior written consent of Holder.
7. The occurrence of any of the following events ("Events of Default") with
respect to Debtor, shall constitute a default hereunder: (a) if any payment of
principal or interest shall not be paid in full when due, and shall continue
unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter; or (b) if a default shall
occur under any covenant contained in any instrument relating to the rights of
Holder hereunder including, but not limited to, that certain Loan Agreement of
even date herewith and to which this Note is attached as Exhibit A, or any of
the Loan Documents referenced in said Loan Agreement.
8. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, the entire principal balance
of this Note plus accrued interest, shall, at the option of Holder, become
immediately due and payable without notice or demand, and Holder shall have all
rights and remedies provided under all applicable laws and shall be deemed to
have exercised the same immediately upon the occurrence of any such event
without notice or further action, irrespective of when any record of the same
may thereafter be noted by Holder.
9. Failure by Holder to declare a default hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of any subsequent default. Debtor further promises to pay a reasonable
attorney's fee, court costs, and any other expenses, losses, charges, damages
incurred or advances made by Holder in protection of its rights or caused by
Debtor's default under the terms of this Note.
10. If Holder retains an attorney for collection of this Note, or if any
suit or proceeding is brought for the recovery of all or any part of or for
protection of the indebtedness, or any collateral, or to enforce Holder's rights
under any security agreement, letter of credit securing the Principal Amount, or
other collateral agreement, then Debtor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable
costs and expenses of the suit or proceeding, or any appeal thereof, incurred by
Holder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees.
11. The terms of this Note shall not be varied, altered or modified except
by a writing signed by Holder and Debtor.
12. Debtor hereby waives presentment for payment or acceptance, demand and
protest, and notice of protest, dishonor and non-payment of this Note.
13. No delay on the part of Holder in exercising any power or right under
this Note shall operate as a waiver of the power or right, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of that power or right, preclude further exercise of that
power or right. The rights and remedies
A-2
specified in this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and
remedies that Holder may otherwise possess.
14. The provisions of this Note shall be severable, so that if any
provision hereof is declared invalid under the laws of any state where it is in
effect, or of the United States, all other provisions of this Note shall
continue in full force and effect.
15. This Note shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Holder, its successors
and assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
undersigned has caused this Note to be executed on the date first above written.
