Realization of deferred tax assets are dependent
on the Company's ability to generate taxable earnings in the future.
The Company believes it will generate taxable income in the NOL
carryforward period. As such management believes that it is more
likely than not that its deferred tax assets other than the deferred
tax asset attributable to Pinnacle will be fully realized. A full
valuation allowance has been established for the equity in loss
of Pinnacle's tax asset as the realization of the deferred tax asset
is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in Pinnacle
in future periods. It is more unlikely than not that Pinnacle will
not realize the tax benefit. The Company has net operating loss
carryforwards totaling approximately $7.2 million, which begin expiring
in 2012 through 2021.
7. LONG-TERM DEBT
At December 31, 2003 and 2004, long-term debt
consists of the following:

(1) Amounts are presented net of discount
of $0.3 and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
Credit Facility
On September 30, 2004, the Company entered
into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Hibernia
National Bank and Union Bank of California, N.A. (the "Credit Facility"),
which matures on September 30, 2007. The Credit Facility amended,
restated and extended the Company's prior credit facility (such
prior facility herein referred to as the "Prior Credit Facility").
The Credit Facility provides for (1) a revolving line of credit
of up to the lesser of the Facility A Borrowing Base and $75.0 million
and (2) a term loan facility of up to the lesser of the Facility
B Borrowing Base and $25.0 million. It is secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets and is guaranteed by the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, CCBM.
The Facility A Borrowing Bases will be redetermined
by the lenders at least semi-annually on each November 1 and May
1. The initial Facility A Borrowing Base, under the Credit Facility
on September 30, 2004 was $28.0 million and is $30.0 million as
of December 31, 2004. The initial Facility B Borrowing Base was
$0.00 and is subject to redetermination by the lenders in their
sole discretion. The Company and the lenders may each request one
unscheduled borrowing base redetermination subsequent to each scheduled
redetermination. The Facility A Borrowing Base will at all times
equal the Facility A Borrowing Base most recently redetermined by
the lenders, less quarterly borrowing base reductions required subsequent
to such redetermination. The lenders will reset the Facility A Borrowing
Base amount at each scheduled and each unscheduled borrowing base
redetermination date.
If the outstanding principal balance of the
revolving loans under the Credit Facility exceeds the Facility A
Borrowing Base at any time (including, without limitation, due to
a quarterly borrowing base reduction (as described above)), the
Company has the option within 30 days to take any of the following
actions, either individually or in combination: make a lump sum
payment curing the deficiency, pledge additional collateral sufficient
in the lenders' opinion to increase the Facility A Borrowing Base
and cure the deficiency or begin making equal monthly principal
payments that will cure the deficiency within the ensuing six-month
period. Those payments would be in addition to any payments that
may come due as a result of the quarterly borrowing base reductions.
Otherwise, any unpaid principal or interest will be due at maturity.
