Item 1.01.                                          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 1, 2005, HemaCare Corporation (the “Company”) executed a second modification (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated November 19, 2002, as amended on March 22, 2004 between the Company, Coral Blood Services, Inc. and Comerica Bank.  The Amendment extends the termination date of the Agreement from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2007 and lowers the interest rate associated with any borrowings from .50% above to .25% below Comerica Bank’s published prime lending rate.  In addition, the Amendment updates the list of all locations where the Company stores inventory, and establishes a $50,000 maximum limit for purchasing or disposing of assets without Comerica Bank’s approval.  The Agreement previously prohibited the Company from making any purchases or disposing of any assets without bank approval.  Finally, the Amendment removes the restriction in the Agreement on the Company’s ability to purchase, acquire, repurchase, retire or redeem any of the Company’s capital stock.  As of June 30, 2005, the Company had no outstanding advances against the $2,000,000 available through the Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the actual Second Modification to Loan and Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
