Quotations: Timothy P.Leybold – While our team is working diligently with our independent accounting firm to complete the audit process, this amendment to our loan agreement allows us to make the $7.5 million interest payment on April 17. We are entering the strong seasonal period of our corrugated box business, and with recent favorable pricing trends in our industry, this additional temporary availability under our revolver should be sufficient to meet our near term cash requirements.
Steve Tompkins – Two 15-year-olds interviewed the architects for the job and told them exactly what they wanted: in a word, playfulness. The auditorium is a horseshoe of red corrugated plastic and industrial metalwork. An adult client for a 120-seat auditorium would never have come up with this, and I don’t think we would have on our own either, We’d never have thought of making an elliptical theatre. It has some of the qualities of a Victorian playhouse, and a sense of glamour.
