Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

1.  Summary of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of operations

PROS Holdings, Inc., (“our” or “the Company”) is a provider of pricing and revenue optimization software products, a category of enterprise applications designed to allow companies to improve financial performance by enabling better pricing.  Customers use the Company’s software products to gain insight into their pricing strategies, identify detrimental pricing activities, optimize their pricing decision-making and improve their business processes and financial performance.  The Company’s software products incorporate advanced pricing science, which includes operations research, forecasting and statistics.  These innovative science-based software products analyze, execute and optimize pricing strategies using data from traditional enterprise applications, often augmenting it with real-time and historical data.  The Company also provides a range of services that include analyzing a company’s current pricing processes and implementing the Company’s software products to improve pricing performance.  The Company provides its software products to enterprises across a range of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, services, hotel and cruise, and airline.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a quarterly report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s prospectus dated June 27, 2007.  The year end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2007 or thereafter.

 

Initial public offering

 

In July 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”) in which the Company sold and issued 5,118,750 shares of common stock and selling stockholders sold an additional 1,706,250 shares of common stock.  The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as restated on June 22, 2007, authorizes the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with $0.001 par value per share.

 

As a result of the IPO, the Company raised a total of $56,306,250 in gross proceeds, and $52,364,813 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $3,941,437.  In addition, the Company incurred $1,793,247 of offering costs associated with the IPO that were recorded to additional paid-in capital and netted against the IPO proceeds.  The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in the IPO

by the selling stockholders.    In addition, the underwriters of its initial public offering have exercised in full their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,023,750 shares of common stock from selling stockholders at the initial public offering price of $11.00 per share.  The over-allotment option was granted to the underwriters by the selling stockholders and PROS did not issue any new shares of common stock or receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares.

 

Income Taxes

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. FIN 48 requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. If a tax position meets the “more likely than not” recognition criteria, FIN 48 requires the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we did not incur a tax liability. Any interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized in income tax provision.

 

Included in our tax expense for the third quarter of 2007 is a benefit of $1.1 million due to the reversal of a valuation allowance previously recorded against our deferred tax assets.  The reversal is the result of our conclusion that it is more likely than not that the associated deferred tax assets will be realized.  Without this reversal our effective tax rate would have been 20%.  Our effective tax rate historically has been lower than the statutory rate of 34% largely due to the application of general business tax credits, and we expect to continue to benefit from these credits for the foreseeable future.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This pronouncement permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates. After election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred. SFAS No. 159 becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that SFAS No. 159 may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

4.  Credit Facility

 

On March 23, 2007, the Company entered into a $28.0 million credit facility with a commercial bank, consisting of a $20.0 million term loan and a $8.0 million line of credit.  Interest was payable at a Eurodollar rate plus 2.75% or a base rate plus 1.5%, at the Company’s option (8.09% at June 30, 2007).  The term loan required repayment of principal of $50,000 plus interest every three months for five years, with all unpaid principal due on March 23, 2012.    On July 3, 2007, the Company used $20,066,000 of proceeds from its IPO to retire the remaining $19,950,000 principle balance of the credit facility and related accrued interest totaling $116,000.  In connection with the payoff and termination of the credit facility on July 3, 2007, financing fees in the amount of $397,000, which were included in other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were expensed in the third quarter of 2007.

Revenue

We derive our revenue from license fees, implementation services and maintenance and support services.   Our arrangements with customers typically include: (a) license fees paid for the use of our products either in perpetuity or over a specified term and implementation fees for configuration, implementation and training services and (b) maintenance and support fees related to technical support and software updates.   We consider our implementation services essential to the usability of our licensed software products, and therefore we recognize revenue from perpetual software license and implementation services together as the services are performed.  For certain of our arrangements, we engage an independent contractor to assist in the implementation.   We recognize revenue from these engagements net of the fees owed to the independent contractor.

License and implementation revenue.  We derive the substantial majority of our license and implementation revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses for our software products and related implementation services.   Revenue from our perpetual licenses and implementation services are generally recognized as implementation services are performed on a percentage-of-completion basis.

We also recognize revenue from the sale of a limited number of fixed-term licenses, which have terms ranging from three months to five years, and related implementation services.   During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, license and implementation revenue from fixed-term licenses represented approximately 5% of our total revenue for both periods.   Revenue from fixed-term licenses, which includes maintenance and support during the license period, are recognized ratably over the license term.

Maintenance and support revenue.  We generate maintenance and support revenue from the sale of maintenance and support services for our software products.  Our maintenance and support arrangements are sold with terms generally ranging from one to two years.  Maintenance and support fees are invoiced to our customers either monthly, quarterly or on an annual basis.  Maintenance and support revenue includes post-contract customer support and the right to unspecified software updates and enhancements on a when and if available basis.  Renewal of  maintenance and support agreements by customers are in mid 90% range.

Cost of revenue

Cost of license and implementation revenue.     Cost of license and implementation revenue includes those costs related to the implementation of our solutions.  Cost of license and implementation revenue consists of (a) compensation and benefits related to personnel providing professional services, (b) billable and non-billable travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses and (c) facilities and other overhead costs.  As a percentage of related revenue, cost of license and implementation revenue is higher than cost of maintenance and support revenue.

Cost of maintenance and support revenue.     Cost of maintenance and support revenue includes those costs related to post-contract support on our deployed solutions.  Cost of maintenance and support revenue consists of (a) compensation and benefits related to personnel providing customer support and (b) facilities and other overhead costs.

Operating expenses

Selling, general and administrative.     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of (a) compensation and benefits related to selling, general and administrative activities; (b) travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses; (c) marketing programs such as our conferences and participating in industry trade shows; (d) accounting, legal and other professional fees and (e) facilities and other related overhead.  We expect absolute dollar increases in selling, general and administrative expenses as we incur additional expenses related to being a publicly-traded company, increase our general marketing activities, increase the number of our sales and marketing professionals and invest in infrastructure to support continued growth.

Research and development     Research and development expenses consist of (a) compensation and benefits of software developers, scientists and product managers working on the development of our new products, enhancements of existing products, scientific research, quality assurance and testing and (b) facilities and other related overhead.  We expense all of our research and development costs as incurred, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future.  We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the development of our software products.

Income taxes

Our effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were (19%) and 5%, respectively.  Included in our tax expense for the third quarter of 2007 is a benefit of $1.1 million due to the reversal of a valuation allowance previously recorded against our deferred tax assets.  The reversal is the result of our conclusion during the quarter that it is more likely than not that the associated deferred tax assets will be realized.  Without this reversal our effective tax rate would have been 20%.  Our effective tax rate historically has been lower than the statutory rate of 34% largely due to the application of general business tax credits, and we expect to continue to benefit from these credits for the foreseeable future.

If our taxable income continues to increase, future general business tax credits may not be available at levels that will allow us to maintain effective tax rates at current levels.  As such, increases in our taxable income may be partially offset by increases in our effective tax rate.

Deferred revenue and unbilled receivables

For our license fees and implementation services, we invoice and are paid based upon negotiated milestones in each customer arrangement with an initial payment due upon execution and remaining payments due throughout the implementation period.  We record as deferred revenue any invoices that have been issued before implementation services have been performed and before the corresponding license and implementation revenue is recognized.  We record as unbilled receivables any recognized license and implementation revenue in excess of the amount invoiced to the customer.  We generally invoice for our maintenance and support services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis through the maintenance and support period.  Deferred revenue does not reflect the total contract value of our customer arrangements at any point in time because we only record deferred revenue as amounts are invoiced ahead of the performance of implementation services.  As a result, there is little correlation between the timing of our revenue recognition, the timing of our invoicing and the amount of deferred revenue.

Application of critical accounting policies and use of estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.  We made estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, and our estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The complexity and judgment of our estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue.  Estimates are also

 

12



 

used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of assets, depreciation, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock options and accrued liabilities.  Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates.  Our management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, our use of estimates and the related disclosures with our audit committee.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting estimates, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Revenue recognition

License and implementation.  We consider our implementation services essential to our licensed software products, and therefore, we recognize revenue from perpetual software licenses and implementation services together as the services are performed.  We do so using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the provisions contained within SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.  The percentage-of-completion is measured as the total number of man-days expended on an implementation of our software products during a reporting period as a percentage of the total man-days estimated to be necessary to complete the implementation.  The period over which we recognize license and implementation revenue depends on the number of licensed software products and the scope and complexity of the implementation requirements.  Our revenue recognition period for an arrangement generally ranges from six months to several years.

Maintenance and support.  Maintenance and support revenue includes post-contract customer support and the right to unspecified software updates and enhancements on a when and if available basis.  Once an implementation is completed, maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support arrangement.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

In addition to our initial credit evaluations at the inception of arrangements, we regularly assess our ability to collect outstanding customer invoices.  To do so, we must make estimates of the collectibility of accounts receivable.  We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when we determine that the collection of an outstanding customer receivable is not probable.  We also analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debt experience, customer creditworthiness, changes in our customer payment history and industry concentration on an aggregate basis when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  If any of these factors change, our estimates may also change, which could affect the level of our future provision for doubtful accounts.

Interest income was relatively unchanged for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007.  Interest expense was $411,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase was primarily the result of expensing $397,000 deferred financing costs resulting from the retirement of the $20 million term loan.

Interest income decreased $304,000 from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing a 22% decrease.  The decrease was the result of the interest earned on a smaller average cash and cash equivalent balances due to the redemption of the preferred stock in the amount of $17.3 million and the payment of a one-time cash dividend of $41.3 million to all common stockholders in March 2007. Interest expense was $869 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily the result of the interest on the $20.0 million term loan and the expensing $397,000 of deferred financing costs resulting from the retirement of the $20 million term loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2007, we had $40.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $28.1 million as compared to $42.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $27.6 million in working capital at December 31, 2006. Historically, we have financed our operations through cash flow from operations. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our cash flow from future operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months. During July 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 5,118,750 million shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of $52.4 million which excludes additional underwriter’s cost of $3.9 million. For additional information regarding our initial public offering see Note 1 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this current report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $6.8 million and $6.4 million for the prior year period.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income and stock-based compensation expenses offset by timing of cash receipts and disbursements between periods.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $0.7 million in prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the purchases of property and equipment, consisting primarily of leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $8.4 million in the prior year period. This change was attributable primarily to the payment of dividends on common stock of $41.3 million, the redemption of redeemable preferred stock of $9.0 million, initial public offering and deferred financing costs of $1.9 million offset by $52.4 of proceeds from the initial public offering and $0.5 million of exercise stock option costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Our internet website address is http://www.prospricing.com.   Our current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available through the investor relations page of our internet website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.   Our internet website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $40.0 million at September 30, 2007.  These amounts were invested primarily in money market funds.  The unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes.  We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.  Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.  Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future investment income, if any.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

It should be noted that in designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met due to numerous factors, ranging from errors to conscious acts of an individual, or individuals acting together.  In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error and/or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

20



 

We are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.  The notification of such compliance is due no later than the time we file our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.  We believe we will have adequate resources and expertise, both internal and external, in place to meet this requirement.  However, there is no guarantee that our efforts will result in management’s ability to conclude, or our independent registered public accounting firm to attest, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2008.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.  We could become involved in litigation from time to time relating to claims arising out of our ordinary course of business.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

     In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our prospectus dated June 27, 2007 and filed with the SEC on June 28, 2007, which are incorporated herein by reference and could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  Such risk factors include, without limitation, the following:

 

                  We focus exclusively on the pricing and revenue optimization software market, and if this market develops more slowly than we expect, our business will be harmed.

                  Any downturn in our sales to airlines or any failure to increase sales to other industries would adversely affect our operating results.

                  Deterioration of general economic conditions could adversely affect our sales and operating results.

                  Our software products require implementation projects that are subject to significant risks, the materialization of which could negatively impact the effectiveness of our solutions, resulting in harm to our reputation, business and financial performance.

                  Our revenue recognition is primarily based upon our ability to estimate the efforts required to complete our implementation projects, which may be difficult to estimate.

                  If our cost estimates for fixed-fee arrangements do not accurately anticipate the cost and complexity of implementing our software products, our profitability could be reduced and we could experience losses on these arrangements.

                  We might not generate increased business from our current customers, which could limit our revenue in the future.

                  If we fail to develop or acquire new pricing and revenue optimization functionality to enhance our existing software products, we will not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth.

                  Competition from vendors of pricing solutions and enterprise applications as well as from companies internally developing their own solutions could adversely affect our ability to sell our software products and could result in pressure to price our software products in a manner that reduces our margins and harms our operating results.

                  We are subject to a lengthy sales cycle and delays or failures to complete sales may harm our business and cause our revenue and operating income to decline in the future.

                  If we fail to retain our key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we will not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our operating results could be adversely affected.

                  Our revenue recognition policy may cause any decreases in sales not to be reflected in our revenue immediately.

                  Our license and implementation revenue produces lower gross margins than our maintenance and support revenue, and an increase in license and implementation revenue relative to maintenance and support revenue may harm our overall gross margins.

                  Our international sales subject us to risks that may adversely affect our operating results.

                  Our inability to sustain our historical maintenance and support renewal rates and pricing would adversely affect our operating result.

                  We might not be able to manage our future growth efficiently or profitably.

                  Defects or errors in our software products could harm our reputation, impair our ability to sell our products and result in significant costs to us.

 

21



 

                  New accounting standards or interpretations of existing accounting standards, including those related to revenue recognition, could adversely affect our operating results.

                  If we fail to protect our proprietary rights and intellectual property adequately, our business and prospects may be harmed.

                  Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims may cause us to incur significant expense or prevent us from selling our software products.

                  We use open source software in our products that may subject our software products to general release or require us to re-engineer our products, which may cause harm to our business.

                  We utilize third-party software that we incorporate into our software products and impaired relations with these third parties, defects in third-party software or a third party’s inability or failure to enhance their software over time could adversely affect our operating performance and financial condition.

                  The elimination or significant reduction in the general business tax credit could adversely affect our results of operations.

                  If we do not develop relationships with third-party consultants and systems integrators to implement our solutions, our growth may suffer.

                  We may enter into acquisitions that may be difficult to integrate, fail to achieve our strategic objectives, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or divert management attention.

                  Our operations might be affected by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event in Houston, Texas.

                  We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

                  Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from executing our growth strategy.

 

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

 

 On July 3, 2007, we completed our Initial Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-141884) which the U.S.  Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective on June 27, 2007.  Under the registration statement, we registered the offering and sale of an aggregate of 5,118,750 shares of our common stock, and another 1,706,250 shares of our common stock sold by certain selling stockholders.  All of the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the registration statement, including the shares sold by the selling stockholders, were sold at a price to the public of $11.00 per share.  The managing underwriters were J.P.  Morgan Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.  Jefferies & Company, Inc.  and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC.

 

We raised a total of $56,306,250 in gross proceeds from the IPO, and $52,364,813 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $3,941,437.  We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in the IPO by the selling stockholders.  No direct or indirect payments of offering expenses were paid to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or person owning ten percent or more of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.  On July 3, 2007 we used $20,066,000 of the proceeds from our IPO to retire the remaining $19,950,000 principle balance of the credit facility and related accrued interest in the amount of $116,000.

 

We anticipate that we will use the remaining net proceeds from the IPO for the payment of IPO related expenses and for general corporate purposes.   Pending such uses, we plan to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities.
