The maker of highly stylized, American-made V-twin cruisers has managed to hold off creditors through next spring and also plans to introduce two new product lines.

Frank Keery, CEO, reported that, notwithstanding the company's recent cash flow problems, the company has made improvements in several important areas.

These include a significant reduction in borrowings from its primary lender from approximately $10 million in January 2000 to under $5 million in October 2000. It also includes the establishment of a significantly lower breakeven point through consolidations and various organizational restructuring efforts. Finally, Titan has introduced two new product lines: Titan's Year 2001 Hi-Line and Phoenix Custom Series.

``Our core business continues to enjoy strong demand and, with appropriate financing, represents excellent long-term potential,'' said Keery, indicating that the company's new lines have been well received. ``Wells Fargo's commitment creates a window of opportunity for Titan to finalize our long-term financial structure and to prepare for a successful 2001 spring season."
