Does the current credit crunch bode well for Essent? For PRMC alone, they borrow to pay their payroll, and with a half-million dollar loss/yr, how does this keep them out of sub-prime status?
With the last financing, Essent included a rolling line of credit, possibly against such an event. Otherwise, in the current financial situation, the money might not be available. Hopefully the institutions that offered that line of credit are still able to fulfill their commitment.
If not, meeting payroll for all the hospitals might be a financial nightmare. Essent borrows month-to-month to make payroll--a fairly common practice. But with credit tightening.....
One wonders how other hospital groups that are also in the same category are able to maintain?
