The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2012.

No principal payments are required on the revolving credit facility prior to maturity. The interest rates on the agreement are variable rates based on one or more interest rate indices, primarily LIBOR plus 1.5%. All borrowings are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The average outstanding borrowings for 2012 were $198,000.
