Summary for:

Strengths:

Strengths & Weaknesses

1) Participation in this project contributes to the projected creation of four (4) FTEs.
2) Farve has historical demonstrated operating cash flow more than adequate to support project debt.
3) The loan is strongly protected by project collateral.

Weaknesses:
1) Farve’s is a relatively young business operating in a highly competitive industry with few barriers to
entry. Mitigating this risk is the growth and success it has experienced growing from a home-based
business with no outside financial support to fund its growth.
2) Mr. Farve reports a relatively low credit score due to a three-month delinquency on a $2,200 bill. He
has promised to resolve this matter expeditiously.

WHEREAS, the County of Winnebago, Illinois (“County”) is a duly organized and

amended; and

cases where the clerk is required to use an official seal”; and
WHEREAS, the County previously adopted a corporate seal, which has an establishment
date of 1834; and

it is in the best interest of the County and its residents to adopt a new corporate seal to reflect the
correct establishment date as set forth herein and further that other parts of the seal shall remain

Winnebago, Illinois, as follows:
Section 1. That the foregoing recitals shall be and are hereby incorporated as findings of
fact as if said recitals were fully set forth herein.

adopted shall reflect an establishment date of 1836, with the other parts of the seal remaining
unchanged.
