Note 4 — Long Term Debt and Shareholders Equity

 

The Company’s revolving loan agreement with Wells Fargo provided for borrowings up to $20 million, with all principal amounts outstanding thereunder required to be repaid in a single amount on March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $16,919,519 and $17,568,484, respectively, under the revolving loan agreement.  Under the revolving loan agreement, the Company was required to maintain specific amounts of tangible net worth, a specified debt service coverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio.  At March 31, 2012 the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into a new revolving loan agreement with HSBC Bank, N.A. The new five-year credit facility provides for increased borrowings of up to an aggregate of $30 million at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, which is 0.25% lower than the interest rate under our former loan agreement with Wells Fargo. All principal amounts outstanding under the agreement are required to be repaid in a single amount on April 5, 2017, the date the agreement expires; interest is payable monthly.  Funds borrowed under the agreement may be used for working capital, general operating expenses, share repurchases and certain other purposes.  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. These financial covenants in the new loan agreement are similar to the covenants in the prior agreement with Wells Fargo.

 

In conjunction with signing the new agreement, the Company ended its agreement with Wells Fargo and used funds borrowed under the new loan agreement to pay all amounts then outstanding under the revolving loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank.

 

During the first three months of 2012, the Company issued 5,000 shares of common stock and received proceeds of $21,000 upon the exercise of employee stock options.
