NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company has been operating under difficult circumstances in 2012.  For the year ended December 29, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $33.6 million that included a non-cash charge of approximately $16.9 million relating to a goodwill impairment and a non-cash charge of approximately $6.8 million relating to a valuation allowance established in connection with the Company’s deferred tax assets.   During 2012, our net borrowings under our revolving credit facilities have increased approximately $10.5 million to fund our operations.  Due to challenging market conditions, our revenues and profitability have declined during 2012.  As a result, we have failed to comply with several financial covenants under our credit facilities resulting in defaults.  Although we have sold assets and reduced personnel in an attempt to improve our liquidity position, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining the cure or waiver of the defaults under the respective credit facilities.   If we fail to obtain the cure or waiver of the defaults under the facilities after any forbearance period, the lenders may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to them under their respective agreements, including demanding immediate repayment of all amounts then outstanding or initiating foreclosure or insolvency proceedings. In such event and if we are unable to obtain alternative financing, our business will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be forced to sharply curtail or cease our operations.   

These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  As a part of our efforts to improve our cash flow and restore our financial relationship with our lenders under the PNC Credit Facility, we engaged an investment banking firm to pursue strategic alternatives on behalf of the Company and a consulting firm to assist the Company with cost cutting efforts.
