The Company has determined in accordance with applicable provisions of GAAP that indebtedness that is required to be repaid as a result of a disposal transaction should be allocated to discontinued operations. The specific allocation of sale proceeds would typically be allocated at the discretion of the Administrative Agent for the Company's Previous Secured Lenders between the revolving credit facility and term debt. The proceeds from assets held for sale are required to be remitted to the Administrative Agent for the extinguishment of debt. Therefore, the debt allocated to liabilities held for sale/discontinued operations reflects actual or estimated debt pay downs based on either proceeds received or the carrying amount of the related assets held for sale, net of associated liabilities held for sale prior to debt allocated to liabilities held for sale/discontinued operations. The Company utilized estimated, or if available, actual debt payments required to be made associated with the held for sale/discontinued operations classification. The prior period amounts were equivalent to the allocations or payments in the applicable period.

Debt 2014:
 
The Company is currently operating under the provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “October 2013 Credit Agreement”) as further discussed herein.
 
Debt 2013:
 
Effective October 7, 2013 the Company began operating under a  October 2013 Credit Agreement as further discussed herein. The following is a sequential summary of the various debt actions in 2013:
   
The Company operated under the provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement until the event of default notice received on March 25, 2013. Since that date the Company operated under an event of default pursuant to two default notifications defined herein.
 
The Company received a notice of default on March 25, 2013 in a letter dated March 22, 2013, which was reported pursuant to item 2.04 of Form 8-K filed March 26, 2013. This notice of default advised that the Administrative Agent had not waived any event of default and the Lender Parties expressly reserve all rights and remedies available to them under the Restated Credit Agreement.
 
The Company received a notice of default on April 30, 2013 in a letter dated April 25, 2013, which was reported pursuant to item 2.04 of Form 8-K filed May 3, 2013. This notice of default advised that the Administrative Agent had not waived any event of default and the Lender Parties expressly reserved all rights and remedies available to them under the Restated Credit Agreement.
 
The Notices of Default and Reservation of Rights specifically advised that Events of Default had occurred and continued to exist for the Company under Section 7.1(b) of the Credit Agreement by reason of: (a) Borrower's noncompliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant, set forth in Section 6.20(d) of the Credit Agreement, for the Test Periods ended February 28 and March 31, 2013 and for the Notices of Default filed May 3, 2013 (b) the Company's failure to perform the covenant set forth in Section 6.31(d) of the Credit Agreement (failure to complete, no later than March 31, 2013, the Designated Transaction).
 
On May 31, 2013, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, all of its subsidiaries and Marshall T. Reynolds entered into the May 2013 Forbearance Agreement which provided, among other things, that during a forbearance period commencing on May 31, 2013, and ending on September 30, 2013 (unless terminated sooner by default of the Company under the May 2013 Forbearance Agreement), the Lenders were willing to temporarily forbear exercising certain rights and remedies available to them, including acceleration of the obligations or enforcement of any of the liens provided for in the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company acknowledged in the May 2013 Forbearance Agreement that as a result of the existing defaults, the Lenders were entitled to decline to provide further credit to the Company, to terminate their loan commitments, to accelerate the outstanding loans, and to enforce their liens.
 
The May 2013 Forbearance Agreement provided that during the forbearance period, so long as the Company met the conditions of the May 2013 Forbearance Agreement, it could continue to request credit under the revolving credit line.
 
The May 2013 Forbearance Agreement required the Company to:
 
(a)

The Company was also required to use its reasonable best efforts to enter into a letter of intent, no later than June 7, 2013, for Designated Transaction No. 2. There were also various targeted dates upon acceptance of applicable letters of intent for Designated Transactions which would result in various actions to be achieved by the applicable milestone dates or if not achieved might be considered an event of default.
(b)
 
Acknowledge in a writing, satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that approval of the Company’s shareholders shall not be required for Designated Transaction No. 1, whether considered separately or together with Designated Transaction No. 2.
(c)

On August 28, 2013, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, all of its subsidiaries and Marshall T. Reynolds entered into a First Limited Forbearance and Waiver Agreement and Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“August 2013 Forbearance Amendment”). This Agreement decreased the Revolving Credit Commitments from $10,000,000 in the aggregate to $8,000,000 in the aggregate, modified certain financial covenants and provided the consent to the sale of certain assets.
 
The Company, various Company subsidiaries, as Guarantors, Marshall T. Reynolds, as shareholder and Big 4 Investments, LLC (“Administrative Agent and Lender”) as Lender and Administrative Agent entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 7, 2013. Administrative Agent and Lender purchased the Company’s outstanding syndicated debt from Fifth Third Bank and the other Lenders (“Previous Secured Lenders”) for a price of $10.0 million. The Administrative Agent and Lender then simultaneously entered into the October 2013 Credit Agreement with the Company pursuant to the provisions of Term Note A for $10.0 million and related Guaranty Agreement and Stock Pledge and Security Agreement all dated October 7, 2013. The indebtedness immediately prior to the note sale reflected a balance pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement between Administrative Agent and Lender and the Previous Secured Lenders of approximately $19.9 million representing Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Revolving Loans plus accrued deferred fee and accrued interest of approximately $1.2 million.
 
The October 2013 Credit Agreement and related Term Note A, Guaranty Agreement and Stock Pledge and Security Agreement as further described herein amended various provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement dated October 19, 2012, including but not limited to:
 
 
October 2013 Credit Agreement maturity of April 1, 2015.
 
Existing debt restructured from Term Loan A, Term Loan B, and Revolving Credit Facility to Term Note A in the amount of $10,000,000.
 
The Company's debt will not have a revolving credit facility component.
 
Interest rate at the Wall Street Journal prime rate of interest plus two percent.
 
Principal payments due monthly at $50,000 per month.
 
$500,000 maturity or prepayment premium.
 
Financial covenant of maximum capital expenditures of $3,000,000 during any fiscal year.
 
Personal guaranty of Marshall T. Reynolds.
 
Stock Pledge and Security Agreement providing a third party credit enhancement to support the credit facility underwritten by the Administrative Agent.
 
In consideration for the personal Guaranty Agreement of Marshall T. Reynolds and Stock Pledge and Security Agreement, the warrants held by the Previous Secured Lenders were assigned to Marshall T. Reynolds. The warrants represent $0.001 per share warrants issued for up to 30% (on a post-exercise basis) of the outstanding common stock of the Company in the form of non-voting Class B common stock and associated Investor Rights Agreement.
  
The Company reviewed applicable GAAP and determined that extinguishment accounting should be applied in relation to the October 2013 Credit Agreement.
 
Other debt provisions:
 
The prime rate was the primary interest rate on the above loans prior to September 14, 2007. After this date, the primary interest rate consisted primarily of LIBOR 30-day, 60-day and 90-day rates plus the applicable margin (effective with the Second Amendment, the primary interest rate was LIBOR 30-day and 60-day rates plus the applicable margin) (after the Restated Credit Agreement effective date, the primary interest rate was LIBOR plus the applicable margin). Concurrent with the October 2013 Credit Agreement the prime rate plus the applicable margin is the primary interest rate on the Company's indebtedness. Prime rate approximated 3.25% at January 31, 2014 and 2013 while the LIBOR rate approximated 0.25% at January 31, 2013. The Company had accrued interest of approximately $161,000 and $142,000 at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet. Deferred financing costs and debt discount are amortized under the interest method over the life of the related credit facilities and are reported as part of interest expense. In 2014 and 2013, $125,000 and $614,000 of debt discount and/or deferred financing costs were included as interest expense. In addition, certain period costs associated with these credit facilities are recorded as a component of interest including administrative agent fees and costs. The Company amortized under the interest method the debt discount associated with the issuance of warrants as well as lender fees and other costs associated with the Restated Credit Agreement and is amortizing under the interest method the costs and maturity prepayment premium associated with the October 2013 Credit Agreement. Interest paid from total operations during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 approximated $138,000 and $666,000.
