Event: On Nov. 14, 2007, Environmental Tectonics Corporation restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements for prior periods, including the periods ended Nov. 24, 2006 and Feb. 23, 2007, due to errors in accounting with respect to accounts receivable related to the carrying value of a claims receivable booked in connection with a contract with the Department of the Navy for a submarine decompression chamber project. As a result of the restatement, the company is not in compliance as of Feb. 23, 2007 with the consolidated tangible net worth covenant contained in a letter agreement dated as of Nov. 16, 2006, between the company and PNC Bank, National Association.
