Financing Agreements	(9) 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 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 requirement is at least $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. On December 18, 2012, the agreement was amended in exchange for a fee of $7,500 to reduce the minimum Tangible Net Worth covenant to $1,300,000. However, if the Tangible Net Worth falls below $2,000,000, the amount available to borrow on inventory will be capped at $250,000 reduced from $500,000. At October 31, 2013 the Company’s Tangible Net Worth was approximately $1,122,000. The Company Tangible Net Worth is below $2,000,000 therefore the inventory borrowing availability was reduced to $250,000. Management believes that the aggregate $3,500,000 available under this facility combined with current projected losses will not be sufficient to meet its current obligations and the Company will need to raise additional capital through borrowings or sales of equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional borrowings or complete a sale of equity securities. At October 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $823,000 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. The Company has borrowed the full $2,000,000 available under this agreement. Principal amounts due under this obligation are $33,333 per month which began on July 15, 2012. The Company amended and restated its Note and Security Agreement with Mr. Sheerr as of October 31, 2013; the Company sold certain equipment and furniture for a purchase price of $500,000 to David Sheerr. The Company used the proceeds of the purchase price received from Mr. Sheerr to reduce the remaining principal amount of the original loan by an amount equal to $500,000. The principal amount was reduced to approximately $966,667 at October 31, 2013. 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 29 equal monthly installments of $33,333, beginning on November 15, 2013 and subsequently on the 15th day of each month thereafter, until paid in full. Interest expense recorded for the Note in the three and six months ended October 31, 2013 was $38,333 and $79,222, respectively. 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, 2013 was $12,630. As of October 31, 2013 the Company also entered into an agreement with Mr. Sheerr to leaseback the aforementioned equipment and furniture that was sold to David Sheer on October 31, 2013. The lease is for a term of 60 months and the Company is obligated to pay approximately $7,500 per month for the term of the lease. The Company has an option to extend the lease for an additional two year period. The transactions described have been accounted for as a sale-leaseback transaction. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of assets of approximately $103,000, which is the amount of the gain on sale in excess of present value of the future lease payments, in the quarter ended October 31, 2013 and will recognize the remaining $358,000 in proportion to the related gross rental charged to expense over the term of the lease, 60 months. The $358,000 deferred gain is reflected in accrued liabilities in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2013. On November 6, 2013 the Company terminated the loan agreement with the financial institution and paid in full the outstanding balance and accrued interest. The Company entered into a new financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Subsequent Events).
