8. Debt

 

Long term debt consists of borrowings under the Company’s revolving loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. As of December 31, 2011, $17,568,484 was outstanding and $2,431,516 was available for borrowing under the Company’s revolving loan agreement.

 

Under the revolving loan agreement, the Company is required to maintain specific amounts of tangible net worth, a specified debt service coverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio.  The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 2011.

 

On February 23, 2011, the Company modified its revolving loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank to amend certain provisions of the agreement.  The amendments include an increase in the maximum borrowing amount from $18 million to $20 million and an extension of the maturity date of the loan from February 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013.  The modified loan agreement continues to be secured by the assets of the U.S. parent company. Funds borrowed under the modified loan agreement may be used for working capital, general operating expenses, share repurchases and certain other purposes.
