Katy Industries Inc. (the "Company") entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of March 29, 2005 with Fleet Capital Corporation. The Company obtained this amendment in anticipation of not achieving the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or exceeding the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of the first, second and third quarters of 2005. The amendment applies only to the first three quarters of 2005 and the covenants return to their original levels for the fourth quarter of 2005. Specifically, the amendment eliminates the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, increases the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, establishes a Minimum Consolidated EBITDA (on a latest twelve months basis) for each of the periods and also establishes a Minimum Availability (the eligible collateral base less outstanding borrowings and letters of credit) on each day within the nine-month period. Subsequent to the amendment's effective date, the Company determined that it would not meet its amended financial covenants. The Company is in discussions with its lenders to obtain a further amendment to its credit agreement which is expected to allow for the Company to achieve future compliance based on its current forecast of future operating results. The Company may also pursue additional sources of capital, if necessary. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. (c) Exhibits.
