As of September 30, 2015, the Company had suspended payments on most of its notes payable, pending completion of its anticipated refinancing. The Company has continued to service only those notes payable that are secured by specific assets under financing agreements entered into by the Company at the time those specific assets were purchased. The holders of the Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Noteholders”) agreed to forebear collection until the refinancing was completed. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Senior Secured Notes were refinanced on a long term basis (see Note 13 Subsequent Events). Accordingly, the Senior Secured Notes are classified as non-current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, pursuant to the accounting guidance in ASC 470-10.
