Midway turns to NAI for funding
Mortal Kombat developer Midway is to sell some of its accounts receivable to National Amusements Inc (NAI) to fund industry and manufacturing of its autumn lineup.

The Chicago-based developer suffered heavy net losses and a 26% drop in revenue in its second fiscal quarter and is hoping to raise up to $40 million (£20 million) through the factoring agreement to fund forthcoming releases TNA Impact, Blitz: The League II, and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

NAI director Shari Redstone, who is also chairperson of Midway, said: "With the additional resources provided through this agreement, I believe Midway will be well positioned to capitalise on the release of these highly anticipated products and lay the foundation for the growth of these franchises."
