The updated credit facility keeps in place RFMs existing loans, which include a $3 million term loan (which has an unamortized balance of $1.7 million) and an $11 million revolver. The credit agreement expires in December, 2010.

"We are very pleased with the updated credit facility from Wells Fargo Bank, which facilitates our recently announced exit from the software and services business. We are executing a strategic plan to transform the company, becoming leaner and more focused while seeking to create a business model that aligns with our plan to return to profitability and positive cash flow in early calendar 2009. Wells Fargo has reviewed our operating plan and we have developed financial covenants with them that provide the liquidity and flexibility we need, as we take the necessary steps to lower our breakeven point, and hone our focus in order to take full advantage of our strengths in both components and modules. Currently, in addition to our cash on hand, we have $2 million of available borrowing capacity under this facility, stated David M. Kirk, President and Chief Executive Officer of RFM. Our relationship with Wells Fargo and their extensive experience as a lender to the technology sector continue to be an advantage to us.
