Current report
The Company’s operations and profitability may also be materially adversely affected in the event of a default under the Credit Agreements, which could result in the Company’s creditors accelerating the defaulted loan, seizing the Company’s assets with respect to which a default has occurred, and applying any collateral they may have at the time to cure the default. On December 10, 2025, the Company received notice from Fifth Third asserting that an event of default had occurred under the Credit Agreement. For a discussion of the potential adverse effects of an event of default under the Credit Agreements, see the risk factors below titled “Upon a default under the Credit Agreements, the Company may be subject to suspended borrowing abilities, accelerated payment obligations with respect to outstanding indebtedness, and other adverse consequences that would negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition” and “The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”
Current report
Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreements, the Company may be unable to utilize certain of its debt facilities, payment obligations may be accelerated, and the Company could be subject to other adverse consequences that would negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition.
Current report
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Cash Covenant under the Credit Agreement. On December 10, 2025, the Company received notice from Fifth Third asserting that an event of default had occurred under the Credit Agreement due to the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the Minimum Cash Covenant for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, and not due to a payment default. As a result of the September Event of Default, the notice informed the Loan Parties to the Credit Agreement that Fifth Third had effectively suspended the Borrowers’ ability to borrow additional amounts under the Revolving Line of the Credit Agreement.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio, the maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio, and the Minimum Cash Covenant required by the Credit Agreement. The Company has notified Fifth Third of the December Events of Default. As a result of the Financial Covenant Defaults as of September 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2025, Fifth Third may exercise any of its rights, powers, privileges, and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law, and otherwise with respect to any event of default, including but not limited to the right to accelerate the Borrowers’ payment obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Current report
The Company determined that the Financial Covenant Defaults under the Credit Agreement could be deemed to have resulted in an event of default under the DFC Loan. Although, as the date of this Annual Report, the Company is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a waiver and an amendment to the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurances regarding the outcome of such discussions. Similarly, if an event of default occurred under the DFC Loan due to non-compliance under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that DFC will be willing to provide a waiver. Despite the Company’s efforts to obtain waivers, DFC and Fifth Third could instead exercise their rights to accelerate the repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreements, among other remedies that would adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition.
Current report
In addition to the Company’s noncompliance with financial covenants and resulting defaults under the Credit Agreements, the Company faces risks associated with the upcoming maturity of its Facilities under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, which mature on April 9, 2026. Although the Company is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a potential extension of such maturity date, there can be no assurance that Fifth Third will agree to any such extension or, if obtained, as to the terms or duration of any such extension. If the Company is unable to obtain an extension of the maturity of the Facilities, the Company will not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the Facilities at maturity. Any failure to repay such obligations when due would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, which could be deemed to result in a cross-default under the Credit Agreement with DFC and give rise to the possibility that Fifth Third and DFC will accelerate the Company’s payment obligations, exercise remedies against the collateral securing the Credit Agreements, or exercise any other adverse remedies available to them.
Current report
As of the date of this Annual Report, neither Fifth Third nor DFC has accelerated the obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreements or any related loan documents. However, unless and until the Company successfully negotiates a waiver or an agreement to amend, refinance, or replace the Credit Agreements, the possibility remains that Fifth Third and/or DFC will accelerate all payment obligations under the Credit Agreements and exercise the other adverse remedies available to them upon an event of default, including seizing the Company’s assets with respect to which a default has occurred and applying any collateral available at the time to cure the default.
Current report
If Fifth Third or DFC were to accelerate all payment obligations under the Credit Agreements, the Company would not have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such accelerated payment obligations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See the risk factor below titled “The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”
Current report
The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Current report
Due to the Financial Covenant Defaults under the Credit Agreement and any resulting event of default that may be deemed to have occurred under the DFC Loan, the lenders could seek to accelerate the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements. Although, as of the date of this Annual Report, neither Fifth Third nor DFC has accelerated payment obligations under the Credit Agreements, there can be no assurance that they will not do so. If the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements are accelerated due to the Financial Covenant Defaults, or any other event of default, the Company would likely not have sufficient cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and other cash resources to immediately satisfy the obligations. Furthermore, if the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining an extension of the maturity date from Fifth Third, there would not be sufficient cash on hand to pay the Facilities under the Credit Agreement if they become due on April 9, 2026. As long as the Company remains in default under the Credit Agreements, and unless and until the Company successfully negotiates a waiver or an agreement to amend, refinance, or replace the Credit Agreements, the conditions described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Current report
The Company’s financial condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, which may adversely affect its business, stock price, financial condition, ability to obtain financing, and continued operations.
Current report
The existence of substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and any related disclosure in the Company’s financial statements, may materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, or to otherwise raise capital necessary to execute its current operating plans. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing or capital, it may not be able to continue its operations at their current scope or scale or to carry out its future business objectives. In addition, substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern could negatively impact the trading price of the Company’s common stock, result in increased scrutiny by regulators and investors, and cause lenders, customers, and other third parties to limit or terminate their relationships with the Company. Any such results could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current report
Any acceleration of the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements could exacerbate the Company’s cash-flow constraints and further strain its liquidity. See the risk factors above titled “Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreements, the Company may be unable to utilize certain of its debt facilities, payment obligations may be accelerated, and the Company could be subject to other adverse consequences that would negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition” and “The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

Previous report
The Company’s failure to file certain financial statements in connection with the RI Acquisition pursuant to Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K will limit the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Previous report
On May 7, 2024, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the completion of the Company’s acquisition of 60% of the equity interests in each of the RI Companies from GenesisCare. Based on information available to the Company, the Company believes that the acquisition would qualify as a “significant” acquisition under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X and as a result, under Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X, the Company would be required to provide (i) audited financial statements for the RI Companies as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023 and unaudited interim financial statements to the extent applicable (the “8-04 financial information”), and (ii) pro forma historical financial information combined to reflect the RI Companies’ financial information for the most recent fiscal year and interim period (the “8-05 financial information” and, together with the 8-04 financial information, the “S-X financial information”).
Previous report
The Company purchased its interest in the RI Companies as part of the sale of certain of GenesisCare’s assets in its bankruptcy proceedings which were initiated in early June 2023. Due to the lack of reliable financial information for the RI Companies following the protracted bankruptcy proceedings, the Company is not able to obtain financial information sufficient to be able to provide the S-X financial information. The Company, therefore, is not in compliance with Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X. Unless the Company files the S-X financial information, the Securities and Exchange Commission will not declare effective registration statements or post-effective amendments filed by the Company until twelve months following the date on which the Company has filed a periodic report with the Securities and Exchange Commission that meets the requirements of Regulation S-X, and affiliates will be not be permitted to make sales of securities pursuant to Rule 144 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Previous report
The Company may fail to successfully integrate the interests acquired in the RI Acquisition with its legacy business in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, or the Company may fail to realize all of the expected benefits of the RI Acquisition, which could negatively impact the Company’s future results of operations.
Previous report
The integration of any acquisitions, including the RI Acquisition, completed during the 2024 fiscal year, requires significant time and resources. A failure by the Company to successfully integrate the businesses, operations, and contractual obligations of the RI Companies with the Company’s existing business in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. Acquiring a majority interest in the RI Companies, assuming obligations under the commercial payor contracts set forth in the IPA, and integrating the businesses of the three turn-key radiation therapy cancer centers that the RI Companies operate in Rhode Island has involved and likely will continue to involve several risks that could undermine the success and expected benefits of the RI Acquisition. Such risks include but are not limited to the following:
Previous report
If the Company is not successful in addressing these risks effectively, the Company’s business and operations could be impaired.
Previous report
Flaws in the Company’s due-diligence assessment in connection with the equity interests and payor contracts acquired in the RI Acquisition could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
The Company conducted due diligence when evaluating the RI Acquisition prior to executing the IPA and during the interim period between signing the IPA and closing the RI Acquisition. The time and costs of the due-diligence process were amplified with respect to the Company’s evaluation of the potential costs and benefits of the RI Acquisition due to the distressed state and bankruptcy of GenesisCare. Despite the thoroughness of the Company’s review, diligence may not have revealed all material issues that could affect the Company’s interests in the RI Companies acquired in the RI Acquisition. In addition, factors outside of the Company’s control could later arise. The Company’s failure to identify material issues specific to the business and operations of the RI Companies and the liabilities and obligations the Company assumed from the assignment of the payor contracts, during the Company’s due diligence process, could negatively impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Reworded paragraphs (18)
Previous wording
The Company has incurred debt and may incur additional debt to finance its operations and if the Company is unable to secure additional credit in the future its operations and profits will be negatively impacted.
Current wording
The Company has incurred debt and may need or desire to incur additional debt to finance its operations. If the Company is unable to utilize its existing debt facilities, or secure additional credit in the future by extending the terms of its current credit agreements or obtaining other debt financing from another lender, its operations and profits will be negatively impacted.
Previous wording
The Company’s business is capital intensive. On April 9, 2021, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a five year $22,000,000 credit agreement with Fifth Third, which refinanced its existing domestic Gamma Knife portfolio. The lease financing previously obtained by Orlando was also refinanced as long-term debt by the Credit Agreement. On January 25, 2024, the Company and Fifth Third entered into the First Amendment which added an additional $2,700,000 term loan, and, on December 18, 2024 the Company entered into the Second Amendment which added another $7,000,000 term loan. In June 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, HoldCo, entered into the DFC Loan in connection with the acquisition of GKCE. The first tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in June 2020 in the amount of $1,425,000. In October 2023, the second tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in the amount of $1,750,000 to finance its equipment upgrade in Ecuador.
Current wording
The Company’s business is capital intensive. In April 2021, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a five-year, $22,000,000 Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, which refinanced its existing domestic Gamma Knife portfolio. In January 2024, the Company and Fifth Third entered into the First Amendment which added an additional $2,700,000 term loan, and, in December 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment which added another $7,000,000 term loan. In June 2020, HoldCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHS, entered into the DFC Loan in connection with the acquisition of GKCE. The first tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in June 2020 in the amount of $1,425,000. In October 2023, the second tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in the amount of $1,750,000.
Previous wording
The Company’s combined long-term debt, net, totaled $20,182,000 as of December 31, 2024. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and the DFC Loan is secured by a lien on GKCE’s assets. The Credit Agreement includes a $7,000,000 Revolving Line available for future projects and general corporate purposes. Depending on the Company’s financing requirements and market conditions, the Company may seek to finance its operations by incurring additional long-term debt in the future. The Company’s current level of debt may adversely affect the Company’s ability to secure additional credit in the future, and as a result may affect operations and profitability. If a default on debt occurs in the future, the Company’s creditors would have the ability to accelerate the defaulted loan, to seize the Company’s assets with respect to which default has occurred, and to apply any collateral they may have at the time to cure the default.
Current wording
The Company’s combined long-term debt, net, totaled $17,294,000 and $20,182,000 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of ASHS and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the DFC Loan is secured by a lien on GKCE’s assets. Depending on the Company’s financing requirements and market conditions, the Company may seek to finance its operations by incurring additional long-term debt in the future. The Company’s current level of debt may adversely affect the Company’s ability to secure additional credit in the future and, as a result, may affect operations and profitability.
Previous wording
A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Credit Agreement and the DFC Loan. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement or DFC Loan immediately due and payable. The lenders under the Credit Agreement and the DFC Loan could also exercise their rights to take possession of, and to dispose of, the collateral securing the credit facilities and loans. The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any of those events. The Company may seek to enter into an extension of the credit and loan agreements or to enter into a new facility or loan agreement with another lender. However, the Company may not be able to extend the term or obtain other debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, if at all, and the Company could be subject to additional restrictions on its business operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on satisfactory terms when required, the Company’s ability to support its business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and its business may be harmed.
Current wording
To secure additional credit, the Company may seek to enter into an extension of the Credit Agreements or to enter into a new facility with another lender. However, the Company may not be able to extend the terms of its Credit Agreements or to obtain other debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on satisfactory terms when required, the Company’s ability to support its business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and its business may be harmed.
Previous wording
In addition, the Company is obligated to comply with certain financial-reporting requirements, financial ratios, and liquidity and leverage thresholds under certain covenants in its Credit Agreement and DFC Loan. The Company’s ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial market and industry conditions and the Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to satisfy such ratios and tests when required.
Current wording
The Company is obligated to comply with certain financial-reporting requirements, financial ratios, and liquidity and leverage thresholds under certain covenants in the Credit Agreements. The Company’s ability to meet those affirmative covenants on an on-going basis can be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial market, and industry conditions, and the Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to satisfy such ratios and tests when required. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Credit Agreements. In December 2025 the Company was notified of an asserted default of a cash-maintenance covenant under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, as discussed in more detail below.
Previous wording
As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, HoldCo was not in compliance with all of its debt covenants then in effect pursuant to the DFC Loan. However, on March 28, 2024, the Company obtained a waiver for the covenant non-compliance as of December 31, 2023 (the “DFC Waiver”). On March 3, 2025 the Company received an additional DFC waiver for certain covenants as of December 31, 2024 and through December 31, 2025. However, if a waiver from DFC is required in the future for potential non-compliance, DFC may be unwilling to provide a waiver and could, as a result, among other remedies, accelerate the repayment of the debt obligations outstanding under the DFC Loan, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

However, if a waiver from DFC is required in the future for potential non-compliance (including due to the Financial Covenant Defaults described below resulting from non-compliance with the Credit Agreement), DFC may be unwilling to provide a waiver and could, as a result, among other remedies, accelerate the repayment of the debt obligations outstanding under the DFC Loan, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
Previous wording
The Company’s debt agreements contain restrictions that limit its flexibility in operating its business, and the Company may be required to repay the outstanding indebtedness in an event of default, which would have an adverse effect on our business.
Current wording
The Company’s debt agreements contain restrictions that limit its flexibility in operating its business, which could have an adverse effect on its business and operations.
Previous wording
The Credit Agreement and the DFC Loan contain various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants subject the Company to various restrictions that limit the Company from, among other activities, creating any unpermitted liens to exist on its assets, incurring additional indebtedness, causing a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, effecting a merger, paying dividends or other distributions on capital stock, redeeming shares of capital stock, engaging in transactions with affiliates, or undertaking lease obligations above certain thresholds. Moreover, under certain of our credit arrangements we have granted the lender a security interest in Company assets as security for our obligations.

Previous wording
Congress enacted legislation in 2013 that significantly reduced the Medicare reimbursement rate for outpatient Gamma Knife treatment by setting it at the same amount paid for linear accelerator-based radiosurgery treatment. Gamma Knife treatment has been relatively stable during the last five years. There can be no assurance that CMS reimbursement levels will be maintained at levels providing the Company an adequate return on its investment. Any future reductions in the reimbursement rate would adversely affect the Company’s revenues and financial results.

Any future reductions in the reimbursement rate would adversely affect the Company’s revenues and financial results.
Previous wording
The Company’s average reimbursement rate for its revenue sharing and retail customers is dependent on the percentage mix of government associated payors and commercial managed care payors. Commercial and managed care payors tend to reimburse at a higher level than government payors. Therefore, a shift in payor mix to a higher level of government payors will reduce the Company’s average reimbursement rate per treatment.

Therefore, a shift in payor mix to a higher level of government payors will reduce the Company’s average reimbursement rate per treatment.
Previous wording
Each Gamma Knife, PBRT or advanced LINEAR accelerator device requires a substantial capital investment. In some cases, we contribute additional funds for capital costs and/or annual operating and equipment related costs such as marketing, maintenance, insurance and property taxes. Due to the structure of our contracts with medical centers, there can be no assurance that these costs will be fully recovered or that we will earn a satisfactory return on our investment, which could have a material negative impact on our revenues and financial results. Additionally, the Company is obligated to remove the equipment at the end of the lease term. In the event the customer does not purchase the equipment from the Company or the Company is not able to trade in the equipment, the Company is required to remove the equipment and record an Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”).

The Company has commenced remediation of the above discussed material weakness as it has expanded its accounting staff and personnel since late in fiscal 2024. The Company will continue to evaluate its accounting and finance staffing needs as well as make planned enhancements to its systems and improvements to its financial reporting processes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in remediating the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. If the Company is unable to successfully complete its remediation efforts or favorably assess the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s operating results, financial position, stock price, and ability to accurately report its financial results and timely file its SEC reports could be adversely affected.

Previous wording
The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal and interest on its indebtedness depends on the Company’s financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit it to pay the principal of and any interest on its indebtedness. If the Company’s cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt obligations, the Company may be forced to delay investments and capital expenditures, to seek additional capital, or to restructure or refinance its indebtedness. There can be no guarantee that those alternative measures will be available, either at all or on terms that are favorable to the Company, or that they will be successful even if available in allowing the Company to meet its debt-service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, the Company could experience liquidity issues, which could force the Company to take alternative measures to satisfy its debt obligations, such as selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on potentially onerous or highly dilutive terms. The Credit Agreement and DFC Loan restrict the Company’s ability to dispose of assets and to use the proceeds from such dispositions, so the Company may be restricted from taking certain measures, such as conducting an asset sale, to meet its debt-service obligations. The ability to refinance indebtedness would also depend on the general state of capital markets and on the Company’s financial condition, neither of which can be predicted at this time.

There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit it to pay the principal of and any interest on its indebtedness.

A limited number of customers have historically accounted for a substantial portion of the Company’s total revenue, and the Company expects such customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. For example, in 2024, two customers individually accounted for approximately 35% and 27% of the Company’s revenue. The loss of a significant customer or a significant decline in the business from the Company’s largest customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

Previous wording
There is constant change and innovation in the market for highly sophisticated medical equipment. New and improved medical equipment can be introduced that could make the Gamma Knife technology obsolete and that would make it uneconomical to operate. In 2006, Elekta introduced a new model of the Gamma Knife, the Perfexion, which the Company has implemented at all of its domestic sites. The Perfexion can perform procedures faster than previous Gamma Knife models and it involves less health care personnel intervention. In 2015, Elekta introduced the Leksell Gamma Knife Icon ™. The Perfexion is upgradeable to the Icon platforms which has enhanced imaging capabilities allowing for treatment without a head frame and the treatment of larger tumors. In 2022, Elekta introduced an upgrade to the Icon, called the Esprit. Existing model 4(C)s of the Gamma Knife are not upgradeable to the Perfexion model. Currently, four of the Company’s eight Gamma Knife units in the United States are Esprits and all of the Company’s eight Gamma Knife units are Perfexion models, one of which has the Icon upgrade. The Company’s equipment in Ecuador was upgraded to a Perfexion with Icon in November 2023. The Company is in the process of upgrading the equipment in Peru from a Model 4(C) to the Esprit and expects to complete this upgrade during the second quarter of 2025. The failure to acquire or use new technology and products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Current wording
There is constant change and innovation in the market for highly sophisticated medical equipment. New and improved medical equipment can be introduced that could make the Gamma Knife technology obsolete and that would make it uneconomical to operate. In 2006, Elekta introduced a new model of the Gamma Knife, the Perfexion, which the Company has implemented at all of its domestic sites. The Perfexion can perform procedures faster than previous Gamma Knife models and it involves less health care personnel intervention. In 2015, Elekta introduced the Leksell Gamma Knife Icon ™. The Perfexion is upgradeable to the Icon platforms which has enhanced imaging capabilities allowing for treatment without a head frame and the treatment of larger tumors. In 2022, Elekta introduced an upgrade to the Icon, called the Esprit. Existing model 4(C)s of the Gamma Knife are not upgradeable to the Perfexion model. Currently, all of the Company’s nine Gamma Knife units are Perfexion models, six of which have been upgraded to the Esprit (including the Company’s Gamma Knife unit in Peru in July 2025), and two of which have been upgraded to the Icon (including the Company’s Gamma Knife Unit in Ecuador in November 2023). The failure to acquire or use new technology and products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Although the Company’s common stock is listed on the NYSE American, the Company’s common stock has historically experienced low trading volume. Reported average daily trading volume in our common stock for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 was approximately 21,000 shares. It is not likely that a further increase in an active trading market in the Company’s common stock will develop in the future. Limited trading volume subjects the Company’s common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for shareholders to sell their shares in a quantity or at a price that is attractive.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreements immediately due and payable and take actions to enforce their security interest in certain Company assets such as seeking to take possession of, and to dispose of, the collateral securing the credit facilities and loans. The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any of those events. Each of these adverse consequences remains a possibility due to the defaults under the Credit Agreements described below.
