Settled a $3.1M debt owed to the family of the company's late CEO James Gilley by handing over two long-term housing revenue bonds and a smaller cash-flow interest, adding about $1M to net equity -- a step toward the AMEX capital shortfall flagged in August.
AMEX accepted a compliance plan and extended the listing deadline to December 2007, but requires periodic progress updates and public disclosure of the ongoing shortfall.
