(10) Financing Agreements

 

On July 27, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution for formula-based secured debt financing of up to $5,000,000. Borrowings are secured by substantially all assets. On March 2, 2012, the agreement was amended to reduce the amount available under the credit facility to $3,500,000 which, according to the Company’s projections, will be sufficient to allow for maximum borrowing under the formulas provided for in the agreement. On May 17, 2012, the agreement was amended and restated. The amended and restated documents reduced the interest rate to prime plus 6%, subject to a minimum of 9.25% and also not less than $8,000 per month. The loan facility allows borrowing of 90% of eligible domestic receivables. In addition, the loan facility now allows borrowing of 90% of eligible foreign receivables to a maximum of $500,000 and 25% of eligible inventory to a maximum of 20% of the amount available on receivables. The total credit line remains at $3,500,000 and the tangible net worth covenant is $2,000,000, measured quarterly. The Company agreed to pay an exit fee if it terminates the agreement more than 30 days prior to the one year anniversary of the amended and restated agreement. The amount of financing available to the Company under the agreement varies with the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory. At October 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $555,000 of additional financing available to it under the terms of the agreement.

 

On December 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Note and Security Agreement with Mr. Sheerr. The agreement provides for secured financing of up to $2,000,000. The Company is obligated to pay monthly, interest equal to 10% per annum calculated on a 360 day year of the outstanding loan balance. Principal is payable in sixty equal monthly installments, beginning on July 15, 2012. The Company may prepay any or all sums due under this agreement at any time without penalty. On closing, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 under the agreement and repaid in full the $1,500,000 due under a previous Note. The Company has borrowed the full $2,000,000 available under this agreement. Principal amounts due under this obligation are $33,333 per month beginning on July 15, 2012. For the next fiscal year following April 30, 2012, the principal amount due under this obligation is $333,333. In each of four fiscal periods from May 1, 2013 thru April 30, 2017, the principal amounts due under this obligation are $400,000. In the fiscal period from May 1, 2017 thru June 30, 2017, the principal amount due on this obligation is $66,667. Interest expense recorded for the Note in the three and six months ended October 31, 2012 was $48,556 and $99,380, respectively. Interest payable to Mr. Sheerr on October 31, 2012 was $16,074.
