64% increase over the first half of 2008.

Protection against unexpected Bad Debt Loss
• Insolvency• Chapter 7, 11,13, bulk sale, receivership, general meeting of
creditors, etc.• Claim paid when bankruptcy court recognizes the debt.
• Protracted Default – i.e. Slow Pay• Claims must be filed within 90 days from invoice due date or 180
days from ship date, whichever is longer.• We have 60 days to try and collect, if we collect debt then you are
assessed a 15% collection fee however, deductible or coinsurance do not apply.
• If not collected, on the 61st day, you are paid the claim…no worries!

The Only Major Asset Left Uninsured
• What assets are insurable and insured?• Odds as to where you will experience a loss is with the A/R.
• Where does your A/R fall on your Balance Sheet
• Typically represents from 40% to 70% of a company’s assets
• Most vulnerable to unexpected losses• Likely to be affected by business cycles • Provides cash flow for the business• Only under-leveraged asset with financial lender• Few companies can effectively compete without
extending credit to their buyers
• What amount of loss would seriously impact your company’s financial stability or annual profit? How many accounts have credit extended over that amount?

Elimination of Concentration Clauses
• BSTC Group - $2 million in total a/r of which $1 million is to one customer. Fleet Bank has a 25% “concentration clause” for any one debtor.• 25% of $2MM = $500,000 maximum for any one debtor. $500,000 excluded from borrowing base• $500,000 x 80% = $400,000 additional liquidity

Eliminates ‘Cross Aging Language’
• Rol Paper, Inc. - $1,200,000 in total A/R. • Craftsman Press maintains a balance of $200,000 of which $60,000 is 60 days past due. Mercantile Capital has a “10 percent rule”, the practice of making all of the A/R from Craftsman Press ineligible to be included in the borrowing base.
• $60,000 is 30% of $200,000 exceeding the 10% rule.• This $200,000 would be excluded from the borrowing base without the credit insurance
