I just took another look at the NVH quote using Yahoo financial

and here is an excerpt from a filing by CC about the credit line: >

Maybe the following excerpt from the above quote is what caused

concern:

"As a result of the expiration of the Credit Facility in August, > the Company is assessing its liquidity and ability to continue as a > going concern."

Maybe these words were CC's way of bluffing the creditor into > extending the line of credit, who knows, I don't.

I found the comments at this site: >http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050401/laf030.html?.v=5 (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050401/laf030.html?.v=5) >

Todd,

That is good you are so sure about it but that doesn't rule out

there are financial problems as NVH has put forth in their

filings. So your confidence is fine but it would be nice if their > financial filings projected the same confidence, I would certainly > feel a lot better if they National Holdings hadn't said: >

my interaction with them. If National Holdings financial officers > are concerned about their "ability to continue as a going concern" > then I am also concerned about that and I refuse to stick my head

the sand and pretend it isn't of concern to me and others.
