Several months ago, Amanda Potter became a trustee of Breakthrough, a UK charity that supports educational and cultural initiatives for underprivileged children. Potter was invited to join the board of trustees by the board chairman, a long-time friend.

Had the line of credit not been renewed, RR would not have been able to make payroll, potentially forcing the company out of business. Although the line of credit was ultimately renewed, the scare has forced Johnson to examine carefully each component of RR’s working capital to make sure it is needed, with the goal of determining whether the line of credit can be eliminated entirely. In addition to (possibly) freeing RR from the need for a line of credit, Johnson is well aware that reducing working capital can also add value to a company by improving its EVA (Economic Value Added).
