RENTRAK CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Rentrak Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”).

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2. Net Income Per Share

Following is a reconciliation of the shares used for the basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS calculations (in thousands, except footnote reference):

 

     Three Months Ended June 30,  
     2011      2010  

Basic EPS:

     

Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and vested deferred stock units (“DSUs”)(1)

     11,311         10,725   

Diluted EPS:

     

Effect of dilutive DSUs and stock options

     192         501   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
     11,503         11,226   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Options not included in diluted EPS as they would be antidilutive

     822         —     
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Performance-based grants not included in diluted EPS

     318         751   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

(1) Includes 75,786 and 69,500 vested DSUs, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, that will not be issued until the directors holding the DSUs retire from our Board of Directors.

Note 3. Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Disclosures

We operate in two business segments, our Advanced Media and Information (“AMI”) Division and our Home Entertainment (“HE”) Division, and, accordingly, we report certain financial information by individual segment under this structure. The AMI Division manages our media measurement services offered through our Entertainment Essentials™ systems primarily on a recurring subscription basis. The HE Division manages our business operations that deliver home entertainment content products and related rental and sales information for that content to our Pay-Per-Transaction (“PPT”) System retailers (“Participating Retailers”) on a revenue sharing basis. This division also includes Studio Direct Revenue Sharing (“DRS”) services, which collects, tracks, audits and reports transactions and revenue data generated by DRS retailers, such as Blockbuster Entertainment, Netflix and kiosk companies, to studios. In addition, beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, Home Entertainment Essentials™ is reported as a component of the HE Division. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to this change.

Assets are not specifically identified by segment as the information is not used by the chief operating decision maker to measure the segments’ performance.

(1) Includes corporate expenses and other expenses that are not allocated to a specific segment.

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors determined that performance requirements relating to vesting of certain stock-based awards would not be achieved. Accordingly, 318,000 performance-based stock option awards and 220,250 stock appreciation rights were cancelled at the direction of our Board of Directors. The cancellation of these awards had no effect on our results of operations.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock to certain of our executive officers and other employees. The stock options were granted at the fair market value of our common stock on the dates of grant, which were $26.70 and $19.85 per share, respectively, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The options vest annually from the date of grant in four equal installments. The value of all stock options granted, as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, was $2.7 million and is being recognized over the vesting periods. Approximately $0.7 million will be recognized in Fiscal 2012.

We also granted options to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock to non-employees in connection with internal software development services relating to our Essentials™ line of businesses. The options were granted at the fair market value of our common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $17.43 to $22.20 per share and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The options vest annually from the date of grant in four equal installments and will be revalued at the end of each reporting period until they vest. The value recognized will be capitalized and included in property and equipment, net, in accordance with our policies relating to Capitalized Software as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Stock-based compensation in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 includes a $1.9 million credit for the decrease in value of a stock award related to a compensation agreement entered into in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 with a non-employee in connection with services provided relating to our Essentials™ lines of business. This award is revalued at the end of each reporting period utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model and any change in value is recognized during the current period as a component of selling and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The decrease in the price of our common stock was the most significant factor in the reduction in value of the stock award in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012. The fair value of this award at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was $0.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and was recorded as a component of accrued compensation on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total employee stock-based compensation in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 was $1.3 million, $0.1 million of which was capitalized. This amount was offset by the $1.9 million credit for non-employee stock-based compensation discussed above, for a net benefit related to stock-based compensation of $0.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Table of Contents

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we witheld a total of 28,752 shares, with a value of $0.5 million, relating to the exercise of stock options in exchange for the payment of those options and related withholding taxes.

Note 5. Fair Value Disclosures

We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

 

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.; and

 

   

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Following are the disclosures related to our financial assets (in thousands):

Municipal tax exempt bond funds

   $ 22,670         Level 1       $ 22,556         Level 1   

The fair value of our “available-for-sale” marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices for identical securities on a quarterly basis.

Marketable securities, all of which were classified as “available-for-sale” at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note 8. Share Repurchases

In May 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a new one-year share repurchase program for up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Common stock repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or through privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of all repurchase transactions are contingent upon market conditions, regulatory requirements and alternative investment opportunities. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we repurchased 82,491 shares pursuant to this program at an average price of $17.36 per share for a total of $1.4 million. As of June 30, 2011, $3.6 million remained available for repurchases pursuant to this program.

Note 9. State of Oregon Loan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we received a loan from the State of Oregon for $0.5 million for the purpose of facility renovations. The loan bears interest at 5% per annum and contains provisions relating to forgiveness if we meet certain requirements. The loan is due on January 31, 2014 if it is not forgiven.

Note 10. New Accounting Guidance

ASU 2010-17

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method,” which provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. Research or development arrangements frequently include payment provisions whereby a portion or all of the consideration is contingent upon milestone events such as successful completion of phases in a drug study or achieving a specific result from the research or development efforts. An entity often recognizes these milestone payments as revenue in their entirety upon achieving the related milestone, commonly referred to as the milestone method. The amendments in ASU 2010-17 are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-17 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-05

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the current option of reporting other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. Upon adoption of ASU 2011-05, comprehensive income will either be reported in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Since ASU 2011-05 only relates to presentation of comprehensive income, we do not believe our adoption of ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 will have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

We have considered all events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2011 and through August 9, 2011 and determined that no disclosure is required.

Business Overview

We have two operating divisions within our corporate structure and, accordingly, we report certain financial information by individual segment under this structure. Our Advanced Media and Information (“AMI”) operating division includes our media measurement services. Our HE operating division includes our distribution services as well as services that measure, aggregate and report consumer rental and retail activity on film and video game product from traditional “brick and mortar,” online and kiosk retailers.

Our AMI Division encompasses media measurement services across multiple screens and platforms and is delivered via web-based products within our Entertainment Essentials™ lines of business. These services, offered primarily on a recurring subscription basis, capture consumer viewing data which are integrated with consumer segmentation and purchase behavior databases. We provide film studios, television networks and stations, cable, satellite and telecommunications company (“telco”) operators and advertisers insights into consumer viewing and purchasing patterns through our thorough and expansive databases of box office results and local, national and on demand television performance.

Our HE Division services incorporate a unique set of applications designed to help clients maintain and direct their business practices relating to home video products. Entertainment content is distributed to various retailers primarily on behalf of motion picture studios. We track and report performance of home entertainment products leased directly to video retailers or through our PPT System. Within this system, video retailers are given access to a wide selection of box office hits, independent releases and foreign films from the industry’s leading suppliers on a revenue sharing basis. By providing second- and third-tier retailers the opportunity to acquire new inventory in the same manner as major national chains, our PPT System enables retailers everywhere, regardless of size, to increase both the depth and breadth of their inventory, better satisfy consumer demand and more effectively compete in the marketplace. We lease product from our Program Suppliers; Participating Retailers sublease that product from us and rent it to consumers. Participating Retailers then share a portion of the revenue from each retail rental transaction with us and we share a portion of the revenue with the Program Suppliers. Our PPT System supplies both content providers and retailers with the intelligence and infrastructure necessary to make revenue sharing a viable and productive option.

Our HE Division also includes our rental Studio Direct Revenue Sharing (“DRS”) services, which grants content providers constant, clear feedback and data, plus valuable checks and balances on how both their video products and retailers are performing. Data relating to rented entertainment content is received on both physical and digital product under established agreements on a fee for service basis.

Table of Contents

AMI Division

Our media measurement services, offered primarily on a recurring subscription basis, are distributed to clients through patent pending software systems and business processes, and capture data and other intelligence viewed on multiple screens across various platforms within the entertainment industry.

Our current spending, investments and long-term strategic planning is heavily focused on the development, growth and expansion of our AMI Division, both domestically and internationally. As such, we continue to allocate significant resources towards our Entertainment Essentials™ services and product lines, both those that are currently operational, as well as those that are in various stages of development. Our AMI Division revenue increased $1.1 million, or 13.4%, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. Our acquisition of Ciné Chiffres, which occurred in November 2010, contributed $57,000 of this revenue increase, while our existing lines of business saw revenue growth of $1.0 million, or 12.7%.

The AMI Division lines of business are:

 

   

Box Office Essentials™,

 

   

OnDemand Essentials™, which includes Mobile Essentials™ and Internet TV Essentials™; and

 

   

TV Essentials™, which includes StationView Essentials™.

Typical clients subscribing to our services include motion picture studios, television networks and stations, cable and telco operators, advertisers and ad agencies.

HE Division

The financial results from the HE Division continue to be affected by the changing dynamics in the home video rental market as well as overall economic trends and conditions. This market is highly competitive and influenced greatly by consumer spending patterns and behaviors. The end consumer has a wide variety of choices from which to select entertainment content and can easily shift from one provider to another. Some examples include renting product from our Participating Retailers or other retailers, purchasing previously viewed Units from our Participating Retailers or other retailers, ordering product via online subscriptions and/or online distributors (mail delivery), renting or purchasing product from kiosk locations, subscribing to at-home movie channels, downloading or streaming content via the Internet, purchasing and owning the Unit directly, or selecting an at-home “pay-per-view” or “on demand” option from a satellite or cable provider. Our PPT System focuses primarily on the traditional “brick and mortar” retailer.

The popularity of the other choices an end consumer has to obtain entertainment content has been growing, and our Participating Retailers’ market share has been negatively affected. Thus, for the foreseeable future, we expect our revenue in the HE Division to continue to decline.

In May 2010, a major “brick and mortar” retailer, Movie Gallery, with 2,000 locations, announced the closure of all of its stores. Also, during September 2010, Blockbuster Entertainment (“Blockbuster”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed approximately 1,000 “brick and mortar” retail locations as a result. During April 2011, Blockbuster’s assets were acquired by DISH Network Corporation, and it is expected that DISH Network will continue the delivery of home entertainment content. Although Movie Gallery and Blockbuster were not direct customers of ours, we believe the major “brick and mortar” retailers’ share of the overall industry is contracting as a result of these closures and related financial events. However, we also believe this presents opportunities that potentially benefit our Participating Retailers through increased traffic from new customers and the opportunity to expand their businesses through the addition of store locations; it is too soon to predict what effect, if any, this will have on our future financial results.

For the many regional chains and independent retailers who rent home entertainment products (DVD, Blu-ray and video games) to consumers, it is more effective to acquire “new release” rental inventory on a lease basis instead of purchasing the inventory. Our PPT System provides Participating Retailers the opportunity to increase both the depth and breadth of their inventory, better satisfy consumer demand and more effectively compete in the marketplace.

Table of Contents

Many of our arrangements are structured so that the Participating Retailers pay reduced upfront fees and lower per transaction fees in exchange for ordering Units of all titles offered by a particular Program Supplier (referred to as “output” programs). Additionally, after the initial release of a movie to theaters, Program Suppliers historically have exclusively distributed the movie to the home video retail market prior to distributing it in other forms throughout the industry, such as video-on-demand, which created a competitive advantage for our Participating Retailers. There is no assurance that Program Suppliers will continue to release films in this manner, and a change in the timing of releases may cause our revenue to decline.

We continue to be in good standing with our Program Suppliers, and we make ongoing efforts to strengthen those business relationships through enhancements to our current service offerings and the development of new service offerings. We are also continually seeking to develop business relationships with new Program Suppliers. Our relationships with Program Suppliers typically may be terminated without cause upon thirty days’ written notice by either party.

Revenue

Revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 8.8%, to $22.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to $24.6 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decline in revenue from our HE Division, partially offset by an increase in AMI revenue primarily related to growth in our existing lines of business. These fluctuations are described in more detail below.

The increase in Box Office Essentials™ revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the addition of new clients and rate increases for existing clients, as well as our acquisition of Ciné Chiffres in the third quarter of Fiscal 2011, which contributed $57,000 to the increase.

The increases in OnDemand Essentials™ and TV Essentials™ revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 were due to the addition of new clients, offset by lower custom report projects. Revenue related to OnDemand Essentials™ also increased due to rate increases for existing clients.

Revenue related to our Essentials™ business information service offerings increased primarily due to our continued investment in, and successful marketing of, these offerings and retention of clients. We expect continued future increases in our Essentials™ revenue as a result of further investments, development and expansion of new and existing services, both domestically and internationally.

The decrease in transaction fees in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was due to fewer rental transactions at our Participating Retailers, which decreased by 25.8%. Minimum guarantees decreased $0.2 million to $0.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 due to the timing and quality of releases. The decrease in rental transactions was due to fewer Participating Retailers, fewer available Units and lower quality titles in the current fiscal year period compared to the prior fiscal year period, as well as continued changing market conditions.

The decrease in used sell-through fees in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was primarily due to a 25.8% decrease in sell-through volume as a result of an overall decline in Units available for sale, as well as a 1.3% decrease in the rate per transaction, offset by higher sales to brokers once Units reach their end of term.

 

14


Table of Contents

The increase in DRS revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was primarily due to higher transactions from kiosk distributors. The increase also reflects our acquisition of Media Salvation in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011, which contributed $0.3 million to the increase.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of Unit costs, transaction costs, sell-through costs, handling and freight costs in the HE Division and costs in the AMI Division associated with certain Essentials™ business information service offerings. These expenditures represent the direct costs to produce revenue.

In the AMI Division, cost of sales primarily consists of costs associated with the operation of a call center for our Box Office Essentials™ services, as well as costs associated with amortizing capitalized internally developed software used to provide the corresponding services and direct costs incurred to obtain, cleanse and process data and maintain our systems.

In the HE Division, Unit costs, transaction costs and sell-through costs represent the amounts due to the Program Suppliers that hold the distribution rights to the Units. Freight costs represent the cost to pick, pack and ship orders of Units to the Participating Retailers. Our cost of sales can also be affected by the release dates of Units with guarantees. We recognize the guaranteed minimum costs on the release date. The terms of some of our agreements result in 100% cost of sales on titles in the first month in which the Unit is released, which results in lower margins during the initial portion of the revenue sharing period. Once the Unit’s rental activity exceeds the required amount for these guaranteed minimums, margins generally expand during the second and third months of the Unit’s revenue sharing period. However, since these factors are highly dependent upon the quality, timing and release dates of all new products, margins may not expand to any significant degree during any reporting period. As a result, it is difficult to predict the impact these Program Supplier revenue sharing programs with guaranteed minimums will have on future results of operations in any reporting period.

Cost of sales decreased $1.8 million, or 12.6%, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011.

Gross margins as a percentage of revenue were as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended June 30,  
     2011     2010  

AMI Division

     63.2     71.8

HE Division

     33.9     29.7

The decline in gross margin in the AMI Division in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was primarily due to increased costs associated with a data provider agreement, which was converted from a variable arrangement based on revenues to a fixed-fee arrangement during December 2010.

The improvement in gross margin in the HE Division in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the increase in DRS revenue and sales to brokers, both of which have higher margins.

Selling and Administrative

Selling and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, development, marketing and advertising costs, legal and professional fees, communications costs, depreciation and amortization of tangible fixed assets and software, real and personal property leases, as well as other general corporate expenses.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 5.8%, to $10.0 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million credit related to the decrease in the value of a stock award granted to a non-employee that is valued at the end of each reporting period, compared to a $0.6 million charge related to this award in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. This decrease was partially offset by increased costs associated with expansion of our AMI Division.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was a benefit of 12.1% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 and was positively affected by federal and state research and experimentation credits, earnings on marketable securities that are exempt from federal income taxes and the tax impact of income in foreign locations.

Our effective tax rate was a benefit of 45.0% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 and was positively affected by tax benefits on stock options exercised as well as the reversal of a tax contingency due to a lapse in the statute of limitations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity include our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash expected to be generated from future operations and investments and our $15.0 million line of credit. Based on our current financial projections and projected cash needs, we believe that our available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our current operations, the continued current development of our business information services and other cash requirements through at least June 30, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased $2.2 million to $24.2 million at June 30, 2011 from March 31, 2011. This decrease resulted primarily from $1.7 million used for the purchase of equipment and capitalized IT costs and $1.4 million used for the repurchase of common stock. These factors were partially offset by $0.2 million provided by operating activities and $0.5 million of proceeds received from a loan from the State of Oregon. Portions of our cash and cash equivalents are held in our foreign subsidiaries. We may not be able to repatriate these funds without significant tax implications. As of June 30, 2011, we had $1.2 million in foreign bank accounts, which we plan to use to fund our international expansion and growth.

Table of Contents

We had $22.7 million invested in tax-exempt bond funds as of June 30, 2011. Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issues, general market and economic conditions and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. While we currently have no plans or requirements to sell the securities in the foreseeable future, we are exposed to market risks and cannot predict what impact fluctuations in the market may have on the value of these funds.

Accounts and notes receivable, net of allowances, decreased $2.4 million to $14.4 million at June 30, 2011 from March 31, 2011, primarily due to lower sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we spent $1.7 million on property and equipment, including $0.8 million for the capitalization of internally developed software for our business information service offerings. We anticipate spending a total of approximately $6.1 million on property and equipment in all of Fiscal 2012, including approximately $3.6 million for the capitalization of internally developed software, primarily for the development of systems for our Essentials™ lines of business, computer equipment and renovations to our corporate offices.

Accounts payable decreased $2.4 million to $4.8 million at June 30, 2011 from March 31, 2011, primarily due to the timing of payments to our Program Suppliers.

Accrued compensation decreased $2.1 million to $4.0 million at June 30, 2011 from March 31, 2011, primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in accrued stock-based compensation that will be settled in cash and relates to an agreement with a non-employee, which fluctuated with our stock price during the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, and a $0.6 million decrease in our bonus accrual as bonuses related to Fiscal 2011 were paid during the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Deferred revenue of $1.5 million at June 30, 2011 included amounts related to quarterly and annual subscriptions for our services.

Deferred rent, current and long-term, of $1.0 million at June 30, 2011 represents amounts received for qualified renovations on our corporate headquarters and free rent for the lease term. The deferred rent related to qualified renovations is being amortized against rent expense over the remaining lease term, which is expected to end December 31, 2021, at the rate of approximately $13,000 per quarter.

In May 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a one-year share repurchase program for up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Common stock repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or through privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of all repurchase transactions are contingent upon market conditions, regulatory requirements and alternative investment opportunities. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we repurchased 82,491 shares pursuant to this program at a weighted average price of $17.36 per share for a total of $1.4 million. As of June 30, 2011, $3.6 million remained available for repurchases pursuant to this program.

We currently have a revolving line of credit for $15.0 million, with a maturity of December 1, 2011. Interest accrues on outstanding balances under the line of credit at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.5 percent. The credit line is secured by substantially all of our assets and includes certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with the covenants as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and, at June 30, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we received a loan from the State of Oregon for $0.5 million for the purpose of facility renovations. The loan bears interest at 5% per annum and contains provisions relating to forgiveness if we meet certain requirements. The loan is due on January 31, 2014 if it is not forgiven.
