Section 2 — Financial Information
Item 2.03      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
     On December 15, 2005, we borrowed $1,000,000 from The 1818 Fund III, L.P., our largest shareholder, in order to take advantage of the tax settlement described below with the State of New York. The Fund is one of a family of funds managed by Brown Brothers Harriman & Company. In connection with the loan, we delivered to the Fund a promissory note bearing interest at 12% annually and due on demand. Upon request by the Fund we will be required to provide to the Fund a security interest in any and all of our assets, except those subject to our Receivables Sales Agreement with Thermo Credit LLP. The Fund has requested and we have delivered to the Fund a mortgage on real property we own in Atmore, Alabama where we have an operations center.
Section 8 — Other Events
Item 8.01     Other Events
     On December 19, 2005, we reached a settlement with the State of New York to resolve certain corporate and sales tax disputes for the tax years 1999 through 2001. The settlement is approximately $2.8 million which will be paid in a down payment of $750,000 with the remainder to be paid in 24 equal monthly installments. We believe we adequately accrued for this liability in previous periods.
