NOTE 3. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

We have a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (WFB) which provides for a line of credit arrangement of $13.5 million that expires, if not renewed, on May 31, 2015.  The credit arrangement also provides a $1.8 million real estate term note with a maturity date of March 31, 2027 which replaced the $0.9 million real estate term note that was to expire on May 31, 2012, and a new term loan of up to $2.0 million for capital expenditures to be made prior to December 31, 2013 with a maturity date of December 31, 2017.  At September 30, 2013, we’ve used $1.1 million of the $2.0 million capital term loan.

 

On December 31, 2012, in connection with our purchase of the Mankato building, we  amended our credit agreement with WFB to include an additional $1.7 million real estate term note that expires, if not renewed, on May 31, 2015.  The purchase of the building was funded through our line of credit which was paid down when the new real estate term note was funded on January 9, 2013.

 

Under the credit agreement, both the line of credit and real estate term notes are subject to variations in the LIBOR rate.  Our line of credit bears interest at three-month LIBOR + 2.75% (approximately 3.0% at September 30, 2013) while our real estate term notes bear interest at three-month LIBOR + 3.25% (approximately 3.5% at September 30, 2013).  The weighted-average interest rate on our line of credit was 3.2% and 3.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, while the weighted-average rate on our real estate term loan was 3.7% and 3.6% for the same periods. We had borrowings on our line of credit of $7,983,140 and $7,923,487 outstanding as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

The credit agreement contains certain covenants which, among other things, require us to adhere to regular reporting requirements, abide by annual shareholder dividend limitations, maintain certain financial performance, and limit the amount of annual capital expenditures.

 

The availability under the line is subject to borrowing base requirements, and advances are at the discretion of the lender.  At September 30, 2013, we have net unused availability under our line of credit of approximately $4.3 million.  The line is secured by substantially all of our assets.
