"13-Week Cashflow Statement Modeling Case-in-Point Summary." First of all, congratulations on completing the 13-week cashflow statement. It is definitely a challenging model to build. In terms of the summary, just a recap of some of the points we uncovered in building the model for SGC Inc. and the situation that they're in. Clearly, SGC will have a liquidity crisis beginning in November 2020 that deepens until the end of the year. Under the current terms of the loans, the company will require an additional 11 million in funding. Meaning, that because of the limits of their asset base they can't draw down on the revolver as much as they need, so they are in need of at least 11 million in funding. However, with a cash cushion of 20 million, it will not run out of cash. Now, we're not exactly sure at this point if the 20 million in cash is something that management feels it needs to have there, or if it's something that is restricted cash, that the lenders would like SGC to have. But regardless, it seems to be a good move because they do have this reserve if needed to support their financing gap. Without an upturn in business in early 2021, SGC will undoubtedly have more troubles. And this is obviously beyond the 13-week cashflow period but we can see the trends quite clearly from the model. There's also little hope that it can generate the cashflow needed to refinance the term loan in April 2021. In other words, they're going to have to go back to the capital markets to refinance that, because there's simply not gonna have enough cashflow to pay down a significant amount of the loan. While this last point is something management has been aware of, the information in the 13-week cashflow statement, gives management, and the financiers and the lenders a better sense of what the immediate needs are for SGC. And can a financing package be arranged that can help SGC get through this period? Or, should this period continue, will that pose too greater risk to the lenders going forward?
