Guitammer and State of Ohio Modify Terms of "Innovation Loan"
Guitammer's Cash Flow Enhanced by Over $375k for FY13 and FY14
WESTERVILLE, OH--(Marketwire - Mar 12, 2013) - The Guitammer Company (
Originally scheduled to be due in full by July of 2014, the loan was modified to have a longer amortization timeframe. The net effect of modification is to reduce Guitammer's monthly payment by approximately $16.5k per month for 2013 and by $14.6k per month for 2014 from the previous schedule.
This equates to an annual cash flow enhancement of approx $200k this year and $175k in 2014. The new loan has a $225k balloon payment of principal due in November of 2015.
Guitammer's Chief Financial Officer, Richard Conn, stated, "This modification combined with the significant improvements the company made to its balance sheet last year, including reduced debt, decreased interest rates, reduction in working capital deficits and increased levels of inventory, are helping to bring the company closer to positive cash flow on its core business. In addition to giving us more operational leeway, the increased cash flow will provide more support as we continue to advance the commercialization of our ButtKicker Live! broadcast technology."
