Item 2.03.                                          Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On February 20, 2008, the registrant entered into an amendment of its Master Loan Agreement with its lender, CoBank, ACB. Under the amendment, the credit line on the revolving working capital loan is increased from $38 million to $50 million until July 1, 2008. On July 2, 2008, however, the credit line reverts to $28 million until the loan’s maturity on October 1, 2008. In addition, the amendment changes the working capital covenant from a requirement of not less than $6.5 million to a requirement of not less than $9.0 million. All other terms and conditions under the Master Loan Agreement and subsequent amendments remain the same following this amendment. The primary purpose of the revolving working capital loan is to finance the registrant’s inventory and receivables. The amendment will be filed as an exhibit in the registrant’s next periodic report.
