Using information in the restated financial statements in Exhibits 5.40-5.42, the financial ratios in Exhibit 5.43, and the information provided in this case, as a com- mercial banker, would you be willing to offer Millennial Technologies a line of credit as of July 31, Year 7? If so, provide the conditions that would induce you to offer such a line of credit.

e. Exhibit 5.44 (see page 438) presents the values of Altman's Z-score for fiscal Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6 based on the originally reported amounts and the restated amounts. Compute the value of Altman's Z-score for the fiscal year ended March 31, Year 7. Although this is not technically correct, use the income amounts for the nine- month period ending March 31, Year 7. Based on the amounts in the proposed set- tlement of the class-action lawsuits, the value of the common equity on March 31, Year 7, is $50,068,568.
