NOTE 14 – CREDIT FACILITIES AND LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Company maintains operating lines of credit, factoring and revolving credit facilities with banks and finance companies to provide working capital for the business.

 

On December 31, 2014, the Company entered into a 3 year, $8 million revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (“WFB”) which provided for borrowings based on eligible trade accounts receivable, as defined in the WFB loan agreement dated December 31, 2014. The line was secured by trade accounts receivable and a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. All other debt of the Company was subordinated to the WFB bank line of credit. In November 2015, the WFB line of credit was paid off. The Company continues to maintain a purchasing card relationship with WFB with a limit of approximately $300,000, of which $55,328 was outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and included in trade accounts payable.

 

In November 2015, the Company entered into a Sale of Accounts and Security Agreement with Faunus Group International (“FGI”) for the USA with a maximum credit limit of $15,000,000. The line was secured by trade accounts receivable and a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreement contained certain pricing and fee structures for collateral management, minimum usage, early termination and facility fees. On July 1, 2016, FGI accepted full payment of all obligations of the Company under the U.S. and Canadian Sale of Accounts and Security Agreements (the “Existing Financing Agreements”), terminated the Existing Financing Agreements, terminated certain subordination agreements and guarantees, and released FGI’s security interests in the Company’s collateral.

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Factoring and Security Agreement (the “FASA”) with Action Capital Corporation (“Action”) to establish a sale of accounts facility, whereby the Company may obtain short-term financing by selling and assigning to Action acceptable accounts receivable. Pursuant to the FASA, the outstanding principal amount of advances made by Action to the Company at any time shall not exceed $5,000,000. Action will reserve and withhold an amount in a reserve account equal to 10% of the face amount of each account purchased under the FASA. The balance at December 31, 2016 is $5,059,292 which includes accrued interest.

 

The per annum interest rate with respect to the daily average balance of unpaid advances outstanding under the FASA (computed on a monthly basis) will be equal to the “Prime Rate” of Wells Fargo Bank N.A. plus 2%, plus a monthly fee equal to 0.75% of such average outstanding balance. The Company shall also pay all other costs incurred by Action under the FASA, including all bank fees. The FASA will continue in full force and effect unless terminated by either party upon 30 days’ prior written notice. Performance of the Company’s obligations under the FASA is secured by a security interest in certain collateral of the Company. The FASA includes customary representations and warranties and default provisions for transactions of this type.
