Revolving credit facilities - Europe


We have revolving credit facilities associated with our European operations that total $1.2 million of which $0.8 million is outstanding at September 30, 2014. The revolving credit facilities have expiration dates of December 31, 2014 and automatically renew for twelve month periods, unless notified by the lender ninety days prior to expiration. The interest rate on these revolving credit facilities is 5.95%. The revolving credit agreements are collateralized by the assets of certain European subsidiaries of the Company.


Note payable - Europe


In connection with the acquisition of Granvideo AB in 2013, the Company issued a note to the previous shareholder of Granvideo in the principal amount of $1.2 million with a maturity date of December 31, 2017. The note does not bear interest and accordingly was recorded at an original discounted amount of $1.04 million. The Company made principal payments of $0.06 million on September 1, 2013 and $0.1 million on November 15, 2013, and is required to make four equal annual payments of $0.26 million on December 31 of each year from 2014 to 2017. The principal balance at September 30, 2014 was $0.9 million.


Term loans - Europe


In addition, we have two term loans with European lenders that total $0.03 million. These term loans require principal payments totaling $8 thousand per month and bear interest at rates that range between 7.45% and 7.75% and will mature in 2014 and 2015.


Revolving line of credit - US


In November 2013, the Company entered into a two-year $4.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"). Borrowings on the Revolver will be based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable. At September 30, 2014, available borrowings under the Revolver were $4.0 million but no borrowings were outstanding. The Company is also required to maintain an adjusted quick ratio ("AQR") of at least 1.25 to 1.0, measured at each calendar month-end. Additionally, if the Company's AQR falls below 1.5x at any month-end, then any borrowings will be repaid by SVB applying collections to reduce the revolving loan balance on a daily basis, until such time as the month-end AQR is again 1.5x or greater. If the AQR at month-end is 1.5x or greater, the Company will maintain a static loan balance and all collections will be deposited into the Company's operating account.


The Revolver will bear interest at a floating annual rate equal to SVB's prime rate ("Prime") +1.25%. If the Company's AQR falls below 1.5x at any month-end, the interest rate will be Prime +1.75%. In connection with the Revolver, the Company was required to pay the outstanding balance on its previously outstanding term loan which was $0.4 million on the closing date. The original term loan was being repaid over 30 months and was subject to interest at Prime + 2.25%.


As is usual and customary in such lending agreements, the Revolver also contains certain non-financial requirements, such as required periodic reporting to the bank and various representations and warranties. The Revolver also restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends without the bank's consent.


The Revolver is collateralized by the assets of the U.S. subsidiaries of the Company, except for (i) its intellectual property rights which are subject to a negative pledge arrangement with the bank, and (ii) any equipment whose purchase is financed by any other lender or lessor, solely to the extent the security agreement with such lender or lessor prohibits junior liens on such equipment, and only until the lien held by such lender or lessor is terminated or released with respect to such equipment.
