"Both of our new retail stores are now operational and in their initial build up phase. We are working diligently to generate store traffic and sales volumes to enable these stores to contribute to our bottom line," said Eric Hinkefent, President of AMCON's retail health food segment.
"We were able to utilize our balance sheet to implement attractive merchant opportunities this quarter. We closely manage our liquidity on a day-to-day basis to capitalize on these opportunities in a meaningful way. At June 30, 2013, our stockholders' equity was $51.3 million and consolidated debt was $33.4 million," said Andrew Plummer, AMCON's Chief Financial Officer. Plummer added, "We are extremely pleased with the favorable terms of our credit facility extension and the enhancements thereto. This renewal provides increased flexibility, ready access to capital, and reduced interest rates while extending our deep relationship with our existing lending group through July 2018."
