MANAGEMENT’S PLAN
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the event the Company’s plans, including plans to rectify our liquidity issues, are not successful. As noted above, during fiscal 2016 we have operated either in default of, or under forbearance arrangements with respect to, our credit agreements with Huntington National Bank. During recent periods, we have experienced depressed revenues as compared to historical levels. A significant portion of our costs are fixed. Thus, decreases in revenues lead to decreased margins, which in turn negatively impacts cash provided from operating activities. To supplement cash from operating activities, we have recently relied, and may in the future rely, on our cash balance and supplemental funds from our credit arrangements. The Company’s liquidity circumstances, including the potential inability to find replacement financing, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and management has and will continue to take measures to mitigate that possibility.
 
We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to satisfy our cash requirements from cash provided by operating activities on a go-forward basis. If our working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements exceed cash provided by operating activities, then we may again look to our cash balance and committed credit lines, if any, to satisfy those needs. The term of our Fourth Forbearance Agreement ends on January 31, 2017, after which, or sooner should we default on the Fourth Forbearance Agreement, Huntington Bank may refrain from making additional advances under our revolving loan. In addition, alternative financing sources may hesitate to enter into credit arrangements with us due in part to real and/or perceived difficulties in achieving revenue growth.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors has directed management to seek alternatives that will enable the Company to repay its indebtedness to Huntington Bank in full upon the expiration of the forbearance period. The Company continues to pursue liquidity alternatives, including but not limited to, the potential disposition of certain of its assets and the possible sale of its West Lafayette facilities. Management has been reviewing details of all current account management and marketing programs as well as all invoicing and top line growth initiatives. Management also has been, and continues to be, actively engaged in more effectively controlling operating costs in the short-term as we strive for long term stabilization. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to resolve our liquidity issues on satisfactory terms, or at all.
 
In addition, we are taking steps to strengthen our leadership team including the pursuit of a new Chief Executive Officer.  Strengthening the overall leadership team represents an important step forward in the Company’s continuing program to build a management team with the depth, experience and dedication to position the Company to deliver profitable growth over the long-term.
