Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Information for September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 is Unaudited)
1. Business
Radyne Comstream Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on November 25, 1980
and commenced operations on May 22, 1981. On August 12, 1996 the Company became
a majority owned subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd, through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Stetsys US, Inc.
On October 15, 1998, Radyne purchased all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Comstream Holdings, Inc. ("Comstream") for an aggregate purchase
price of $17 million, of which $10 million was paid in cash at the closing,
using funds borrowed from its controlling stockholder, and the balance of which
was in the form of a $7 million note (the "Note"), payable nine months from the
purchase date. This acquisition was recorded in accordance with the "purchase
method" of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets
acquired was approximately $8.7 million of which $3.9 million was allocated to
in-process research and development, $2.5 million was valued as purchased
technology, which is being amortized over 6.25 years, and $2.3 million has been
recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over ten years. On September 29,
1999, the Company negotiated a reduction in the note due to the seller. This
reduction is discussed in Note 9, and resulted in a $516,000 reduction to the
purchase price, therefore reducing the original goodwill balance of $2.3 million
to $1.784 million.
Comstream operates primarily in North America in the satellite
communications industry. Comstream designs, markets and manufactures satellite
interactive modems and earth stations. Additionally, Comstream manufactures and
markets full-transponder satellite digital audio receivers for music providers
and has designed and developed a PC broadband satellite receiver card which is
an Internet and high-speed data networking product.
In March 1999, Radyne Corp. changed its name to Radyne Comstream Inc. The
Company's principal locations are in Phoenix, Arizona and San Diego, California.
The Company designs, manufactures, and sells products, systems and software used
for the transmission and reception of data over satellite and cable
communication networks.
The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the
consolidated results of operations (unaudited) as if the acquisition had taken
place on January 1, 1998. Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative
of what the actual results of operations might have been if the acquisition had
been effective on January 1, 1998:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements furnished
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 1999 and
the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This
information should be read in conjunction with the restated consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K/A for the twelve
month period ended December 31, 1998.
The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the financial
statement date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Rapid technological change and short product life cycles
characterize the industry in which the Company operates. As a result,
estimates are required to provide for product obsolescence and warranty
returns as well as other matters. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(c) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in the consolidation.
(d) Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all money market accounts with a maturity of 90 days
or less to be cash equivalents.
(e) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of product.
(f) Inventories
Inventories, consisting of satellite modems and earth stations, frequency
converters, broadcast receivers and related products, are valued at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
(g) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment held under capital
leases is stated at the present value of future minimum lease payments.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as
incurred, and improvements that extend the useful lives of the assets are
capitalized. Depreciation and amortization of machinery and equipment are
computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of
three to ten years. Equipment held under capital leases and leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets.
(h) Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of
net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years.
(i) Purchased Technology
In connection with the acquisition of Comstream, value was assigned to
purchased technology. Purchased technology is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited of 6.25 years.

<PAGE>
(j) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount, or fair
value, less costs to sell.
(k) Warranty Costs
The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products and
systems for periods generally not exceeding two years. The Company accrues
estimated warranty costs for potential product liability and warranty
claims based on the Company's claim experience. Such costs are accrued as
cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized.
(l) Research and Development
The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.
(m) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
consequences attributed to differences between the consolidated financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Differences between income for financial and tax
reporting purposes arise primarily from accruals for warranty reserves and
compensated absences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(n) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, are principally accounts receivable. The
Company maintains ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally
does not require collateral. The Company provides reserves for potential
credit losses and such losses have not exceeded management's expectations.
(o) Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share
Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing income/(loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income/(loss) per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted to common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings or income/(loss)
of the Company. Assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 have been excluded
from the calculations of diluted net loss per common share as their effect
is antidilutive.
(p) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments. Management has estimated that the fair values of the
notes payable approximate the current balances outstanding, based on
currently available rates for debt with similar terms.
(q) Employee Stock Options
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options and to adopt
the "disclosure only" alternative treatment under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS
123). SFAS 123 requires the use of fair value option valuation models that
were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under SFAS
No. 123, deferred compensation is recorded for the excess of the fair value
of the stock on the date of the
7
<PAGE>
option grant, over the exercise price of the option. The deferred
compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the option.
(r) Segment Reporting
The Company has only one operating business segment, the sale of equipment
for satellite and cable communications networks.
(s) Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
(SFAS No. 130) which became effective for the Company January 1, 1998. SFAS
No. 130 established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial
statements. The Company had no items of comprehensive income. Therefore,
the adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no effect on the Company.
3. Rights Offering (1999)
In October 1998 the Board of Directors approved the distribution to
stockholders, other than the Company's principal stockholders, Stetsys US,
Inc and Stetsys Pte Ltd ("ST"), of subscription rights for the purchase of
up to 444,276 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $3.73 per
share. The Board of Directors further approved the distribution of
subscription rights to ST to purchase up to 4,300,800 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $3.73 per share. This Rights Offering
became effective on September 30, 1999 upon the approval by the Securities
and Exchange Commission of the amended Form S-2 Registration Statement
which was filed on September 24, 1999. ST instructed the Company to
capitalize the entire $15,618,272 principal amount of the debt owed to ST's
wholly owned subsidiary, Stetsys US, Inc., in partial exercise of its
rights. Subsequent to the end of the period reported on herein, ST
exercised the balance of its rights by paying cash to the Company in the
amount of $423,700. The Company used these funds, along with $932,200 of
cash on hand to pay the accrued interest due to ST as of September 30,
1999.

a fluctuating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1% per annum or an alternative Citibank
Quoted Rate plus 1% per annum (rates varied from 5.97% to 6.94% on balances owed
at September 30, 1999). The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain
certain financial leverage ratios. At September 30, 1999, the Company was in
violation of one such covenant which was waived by the bank. The availability of
additional borrowings under the credit agreement expired September 29, 1999, but
has been extended verbally, pending preparation of a renewal agreement. The
Company owed principal of $12,920,000 under the line of credit as of September
30, 1999 and $8,000,000 as of December 31, 1998.
Notes payable to affiliate (ST) outstanding at September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 were $0 and $15,618,272 respectively. These notes accrued
interest at rates ranging from 6.375% to 6.844% and were paid from the proceeds
of the Rights Offering. Of the amount owed at December 31, 1998, $10,000,000 was
borrowed in September 1998 for the acquisition of ComStream Holdings, Inc.
The Company also had a note payable to Spar Aerospace Limited in the amount
of $7,000,000. This note was issued on October 15, 1998 as partial consideration
for the acquisition of ComStream Holdings, Inc. The note matured on July 15,
1999 with interest at 8% per annum. The Company negotiated a reduction in the
note balance due to Spar for the following reasons: (i) a $521,000 reduction for
the Company's assumption of $115,000 of liabilities from Spar and the waiver of
Spar's obligation to indemnify the Company against a $406,000 claim by a product
assembly contractor for costs incurred on ComStream's behalf prior to the
acquisition, and (ii) a $516,000 reduction in the note for certain inventory and
furniture and equipment erroneously carried on ComStream's pre-closing balance
sheet. Because these discrepancies were identified prior to the purchase price
allocation, no portion of the Company's purchase price for ComStream was
allocated to such inventory, furniture and equipment. Therefore, this $516,000
reduction has resulted in a reduction in goodwill. The note was paid during the
quarter ended September 30, 1999. In addition, the Company negotiated a $278,000
reduction in interest on the note ($188,000 of which had been accrued in prior
periods and so has been reported as extraordinary income in the current period).

<PAGE>
The purpose of all of the above described loans has been to finance or
refinance the capital needs associated with the Company's acquisition of
ComStream Holdings, Inc., recent rapid sales and backlog growth and the cost of
research and development. To date, the Company's capital resources (as
supplemented by loans from ST and its affiliates) have been sufficient to fund
its operations and increased level of business. The Company believes that its
bank credit lines and cash from operations are likely to be sufficient to fund
its planned future operations and capital requirements for continued growth for
the next twelve months.

Results of Operations
Results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1999
compared to the three month period ended September 30, 1998, were as follows:
The Company's net sales increased 323% to $13,999,000 during the period
ended September 30, 1999 from $3,307,000 during the period ended September 30,
1998, primarily as a result of the Company's acquisition and integration of
Comstream Holdings into the operations of the Company.
The Company's cost of sales increased to $7,296,000 (52% of sales) during
the period ended September 30, 1999 from $2,280,000 (69% of sales) during the
period ended September 30, 1998. We attribute the improvement in cost of sales,
as a percentage of revenue, to the acceptance in the market place of our newer
products which produce higher margins. The higher cost, in terms of pure
dollars, is attributable to the increased business levels that we have
experienced as a result of the acquisition and integration of ComStream Holdings
into our operations.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $3,390,000 (24% of
sales) during the current period from $806,000 (24% of sales) during the period
ended September 30, 1998. The increase in terms of real dollars was primarily
due to the Company's acquisition and integration of Comstream Holdings into the
operations of the Company and included $450,000 in bonuses to management and
employees during the current period. No bonuses had been rewarded in prior
periods. Additionally, commissions to inside sales personnel accounted for
$160,000 of the increase. These commissions were earned in connection with the
record levels of orders booked in the period. In terms of percentage of expense
to sales, the results were approximately what the Company expected given the
additional expenses as detailed above and the level remained fairly constant
with the prior period.
Research and development expenditures increased to $2,215,000 (16% of
sales) during the current period from $577,000 (17% of sales) during the period
ended September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to the Company's
acquisition and integration of Comstream Holdings into the operations of the
Company and the resultant increase in business levels.
In connection with the acquisition of ComStream Holdings, Inc., Radyne
allocated $3,909,000 of the purchase price to seven in-process research and
development projects. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based
on risk-adjusted future cash flows related to the incomplete projects. At the
date of the acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached
technological feasibility and the research and development in process had no
alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the
acquisition date.
This allocation was based on a number of assumptions, including those
regarding estimated project completion dates and costs. As of September 30,
1999, six of those projects have been completed and the other is scheduled to be
completed in November of this year. The original cost estimates remain
essentially accurate and no other material variations in the assumptions have
appeared. Therefore, management continues to believe that no adjustments to the
$3,909,000 valuation are required.

Net interest expense increased from $193,000 in the period ended September
30, 1998 to $464,000 in the current period due mainly to an increase in the
Company's debt level as a result of the acquisition of ComStream Holdings.
The Company recorded extraordinary income of $188,000 during the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 as a result of a negotiated forgiveness of
previously recorded and unpaid interest expense on the note payable to Spar.
Based on the increases in gross margins and lower operating costs as a
percentage of sales, the Company recorded earnings-before-interest-and-taxes
("EBIT"), and before extraordinary income, of $1,099,000 during the period ended
September 30, 1999 as
13
<PAGE>
compared with a loss of ($357,000) during the period ended September 30, 1998.
Net income, after extraordinary income of $188,000 and a provision for income
taxes of $15,000 (representing alternative minimum tax), increased to $809,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from a net loss of ($550,000) for
the three months ended September 30, 1998.
The Company's new-orders-booked (Bookings) increased 311% to a record
$16,156,000 for the current period from $3,930,000 for the period ended
September 30, 1998, due primarily to our improved customer base and distribution
channels resulting from the integration of ComStream Holdings into the
operations of the Company.
The Company's level of unfilled-orders-to-ship (Backlog) increased 111% to
a new record of $13,193,000 for the current period from $6,253,000 at September
30, 1998 primarily due to the record level of Bookings received during the
current and immediately preceding reporting periods.
Results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999
compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, were as follows:
The Company's net sales increased 294% to a record $39,262,000 during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $9,974,000 during the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the Company's
acquisition and integration of Comstream Holdings into the operations of the
Company.
The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 54%
during the period ended September 30, 1999 from 77% during the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998. Costs associated with the delivery of new products to
the market place accounted for the high period costs in 1998. The Company
expensed $911,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to write off
these excess costs and to set up a provision for obsolescence. We expense costs
in the period in which they occur.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $9,139,000 (23% of
sales) during the current period from $2,544,000 (26% of sales) during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1998. This increase in costs, in terms of
actual dollars, and reduction in terms of percentage of sales, is primarily a
result of higher expense and sales levels due to the Company's acquisition and
integration of Comstream Holdings into the operations of the Company.
Research and development expenditures increased to $6,730,000 (17% of
sales) during the period ended September 30, 1999 from $1,945,000 (20% of sales)
during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. These expenses reflect
the Company's continued commitment to invest in its future through technological
advances and its efforts to improve its older product lines for
manufacturability and lower costs. The increase in real costs and the reduction,
in terms of percentage of sales, is primarily a result of the higher expense
levels and sales amounts due to the Company's acquisition and integration of
Comstream Holdings into the operations of the Company.
Based on the increases in gross margins and lower operating costs as a
percentage of sales (40% for the current period compared to 45% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998), the Company recorded
earnings-before-interest-and-taxes ("EBIT"), and before extraordinary income, of
$2,302,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to a loss of
($2,220,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Net interest expense increased from $569,000 (6% of sales) in the nine
month period ended September 30, 1998 to $1,562,000 (4% of sales) in the current
period due to an increase in the Company's debt level. The Company borrowed
approximately $17,000,000 to finance the purchase of ComStream Holdings after
the end of the prior period, and paid that debt off during the current period,
reported on herein.
The Company recorded extraordinary income of $188,000 during the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999 as a result of the negotiated forgiveness of
previously recorded and unpaid interest expense in connection with the note
payable to Spar.
The Company recorded income tax expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 of $15,000 (representing alternative minimum tax). There has been no
prior provision for income tax.
Based on all of the above, the Company recorded net income of $914,000 or
$.14 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of ($2,789,000) or ($.47) per
weighted average common share outstanding, for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998.

<PAGE>
The Company's new-orders-booked (Bookings) increased 282% to $43,849,000
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 from $11,490,000 for the
period ended September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily a result of the
Company's acquisition and integration of Comstream Holdings into the operations
of the Company.
The Company's level of unfilled-orders-to-ship (Backlog) increased 111% to
$13,193,000 for the current period from $6,253,000 at September 30, 1998
primarily due to the record level of Bookings received during the current
reporting period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital deficit was ($5,649,000) at September 30,
1999, an increase in working capital of $3,155,000 from a working capital
deficit of ($8,804,000) at December 31, 1998. This change was primarily a result
of a reduction in current liabilities of ($4,797,000) primarily made up of a
reduction in short term notes payable of ($2,080,000), a reduction in accounts
payable of ($787,000), and in other accrued expenses and short term capital
lease obligations of ($1,930,000) as offset by a reduction in current assets of
($1,643,000), made up of an increase in cash of $1,367,000 and a decrease in
accounts receivable of ($1,707,000), inventories of ($1,142,000) and prepaid
expenses of ($160,000).
The availability of additional borrowings under the credit agreement
expired September 29, 1999, but has been extended verbally, pending preparation
of a renewal agreement. The Company believes that its bank credit lines and cash
from operations are likely to be sufficient to fund its planned future
operations and capital requirements for continued growth for the next twelve
months.
Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities was $2,997,000 for the
current period, as compared to ($975,000) used in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998.
Cash used in investing activities consists of proceeds from the sale of
fixed assets and additions to equipment of ($235,000) for the current period as
compared to the prior period amount of ($10,390,000) which included $10,000,000
of restricted cash used for the investment in ComStream.
The Company's net cash (used in)/provided by financing activities was
($1,395,000) and $11,571,000 (including $10,000,000 borrowed for the ComStream
acquisition) during the periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998,
respectively.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company increased its cash balances by
$1,367,000 during the current period, compared to an increase in cash balances
of $206,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 issue concerns the fact that certain computer systems and
processors may recognize the designation "00" as the year 1900 when it is
intended to mean the Year 2000, resulting in system failure or miscalculations.
Other potential date related errors may result from computer systems' inability
to recognize the year 2000 as a "leap year" and such dates as 9 September 1999
(9-9-99 or "all nines"), 1 January 2001 (1-1-01) may cause errors. All of these
"date related issues" are commonly referred to as the "Year 2000 Issue", the
"Y2K problem" or the "Millenium Bug". Commencing in 1997, we began a
comprehensive review of our information technology systems, upon which our day
to day business operations depend, in order to determine the adequacy of those
systems in light of future business requirements. Year 2000 readiness was one of
the factors considered in the review process. We have completed that review and
believe that all mission critical systems at our Phoenix and San Diego
facilities are Year 2000 compliant.
Our Year 2000 readiness plan also involves the review of our
non-information technology systems, a review which we consider to be complete.
The only noncompliance which we discovered relates to certain date functions in
diagnostic equipment, which functions we do not employ. However, it is possible
that the scope of the Year 2000 problem could be greater than originally
believed and that our efforts could prove inadequate.
15
<PAGE>
As part of our comprehensive review, we are continuing to verify the Year
2000 readiness of third parties (vendors and customers) with whom Radyne
ComStream has material relationships. A Year 2000 readiness survey was sent to
all of our material vendors and customers. We have received acceptable responses
from all of our mission critical vendors and about 65% of our non-critical
vendors. We expect to receive responses from 75% to 80% of our non-critical
vendors. Efforts continue to obtain as many replies as possible. In any event,
we plan to increase some inventory levels to mitigate any risk of inventory
supply problems. We have also created a database to track responses, problems
and follow-up plans. While our assessments of the readiness of our vendors are
necessarily dependent upon their survey responses, we intend to test their
stated compliance where we determine that to be a necessary and feasible step.
In evaluating the potential impact of vendor Y2K noncompliance, we believe
that the two worst case scenarios would likely be as follows. First, if the
electric utility at either of our principal facilities were to black out,
operations at that facility could cease for the duration of the problem. At this
point those utilities have provided reasonable assurances of their own Y2K
compliance, although they are not in a position to rule out potentially relevant
problems elsewhere on the power grid. Second, if one of our major circuit board
suppliers were to report Y2K compliance, but then surprise us with a shutdown,
our delivery schedule would be adversely affected. However, since our
contingency plan includes maintenance of a three-month inventory of critical
parts, we would expect to be able to replace the noncompliant vendor in a timely
enough manner to avoid a product delivery delay of more than 30 days. However,
we are not able to precisely determine the effect on results of operations,
liquidity and financial condition in the event our material vendors and
customers are not Year 2000 compliant. Our inability to accurately forecast such
effects may prevent Radyne ComStream from taking necessary steps to rectify any
Year 2000 problems in advance. Moreover it is impossible to predict the extent,
if any, to which customers may allocate funds to the solution of their own Year
2000 problems instead of purchasing our products. We will continue to monitor
the progress of our material vendors and customers and formulate a contingency
plan if and when we conclude that a material vendor or customer may not be
compliant.
We have completed a review of our products and determined that all but one
feature of one older ComStream product are Year 2000 ready. We are notifying
purchasers and potential purchasers of this product, relatively few of which
have been sold, that the feature in question is not compliant and that it can
either be turned off or the non-compliant log can be erased so that the dates
will sequence correctly after 1-1-2000. The feature is not critical to the
function of the equipment.
While we believe our efforts to date are adequate to prevent any Year 2000
problem from having a material adverse effect on Radyne ComStream, our
assessment may turn out to be inaccurate.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk on our financial instruments from changes in
interest rates. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes or to
manage interest rate risk. Increases in market interest rates would not have a
substantial adverse effect on profitability.
Our financial instruments consist primarily of short-term variable rate
revolving credit lines. Our debt at September 30, 1999 consisted of notes
payable under a line of credit agreement.
