Following the sale of the Company’s New York State stores in April and its franchise business earlier this month, management felt the need to restructure the Company’s capital obligations beyond July 2009. Cash from the sales was used to pay down the notes and associated interest. There is now less than $300,000 of debt due to mature in July 2009. The Company hopes that such remaining debt will be repaid through the proceeds of a contemplated sale of its Pennsylvania stores, or through the issuance of equity or new debt. No assurances can be given in this regard.
