the IRB substantially satisfied the balance on the Company"s line of credit used to purchase a larger facility in Largo, FL. The new facility allows the Company to consolidate its operations and provides for its future growth needs. The Company during the next several months will make available for sale its current premises in St. Petersburg, FL.
Gary Pickett, chief financial officer of Bovie, stated, "Bovie"s ability to access the capital markets at this time, especially the credit market, demonstrates investor confidence in Bovie"s future. The benefits of our IRB include: long term financing at interest rates below conventional financing and eliminating any current short term debt. We look forward to justifying this confidence as we transform Bovie from an OEM dependent company to one with a broad portfolio of proprietary products and technologies."
