NOTE 5 - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Bank Credit Facility

      On March 1, 2013, the Company and Square 1 Bank entered into the Eighth Amendment (the "Eighth Amendment") to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 22, 2009 (as amended by the Eighth Amendment, the "Amended Loan Agreement"). The Eighth Amendment increased the maximum credit limit of the facility from $12 million to $15 million, lowered the interest rate on outstanding borrowings from prime plus 1.0% to prime, and extended the facility maturity date from August 15, 2014 to March 1, 2017. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar month. The Eighth Amendment provided for a new $5 million term loan (the "New Term Loan") that was fully funded on March 4, 2013. Concurrent with funding the New Term Loan, the pre-existing term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $1.8 million was retired. Principal of the New Term Loan is repayable at the rate of $83,333 per month beginning April 2013, with a $1.1 million principal payment due at maturity. At August 31, 2013, the effective interest rate on the New Term Loan was 3.25%. The revolver portion of the Amended Loan Agreement has a borrowing limit equal to the lesser of (a) $15 million minus the term loan principal outstanding at any point in time, or (b) 85% of eligible accounts receivable. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolver at August 31, 2013. The Company agreed to pay loan fees to Square 1 Bank in connection with the Eighth Amendment of $7,500 on the first anniversary and $37,500 on each of the next three anniversaries of the New Term Loan.

      The Amended Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other noncash charges ("EBITDA") and a minimum debt coverage ratio, both measured monthly beginning March 2013 on a rolling 12-month basis. At August 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the credit facility. The credit facility also provides for a number of customary events of default, including a provision that a material adverse change constitutes an event of default that permits the lender, at its option, to accelerate the loan. Among other provisions, the credit facility requires a lock-box and cash collateral account whereby cash remittances from the Company's customers are directed to the cash collateral account and which amounts are applied to reduce, if applicable, the outstanding revolving loan principal.

Long-Term Debt

      Long-term debt is comprised of the following (in thousands):

              August 31,       February 28,
      2013   2013
  Bank term loan   $ 4,583     $ 1,800  
  Note payable to Navman, net of unamortized discount     2,546       2,895  
        7,129       4,695  
  Less portion due within one year                (2,440 )                (2,261 )
  Long-term debt   $ 4,689     $ 2,434  

      The Navman note is payable in the form of a 15% rebate on certain products sold by the Company to Navman under the Supply Agreement. The unpaid balance of the Navman note would become immediately due and payable upon any termination of the Supply Agreement by the Company before the end of its five-year term (other than as a result of an uncured breach of the Supply Agreement by Navman), except that in the case of such acceleration the note balance would be subordinated to the Company's bank debt pursuant to the provisions of a debt subordination agreement. In the absence of an acceleration event, the Navman note is payable solely in the form of rebates on products sold by CalAmp to Navman under the Supply Agreement. After all such rebates have been applied to pay down the note balance, and assuming that an acceleration event has not occurred, any unpaid balance remaining on the Navman note would be forgiven at the later of May 7, 2017 or the final date to which the Supply Agreement is extended pursuant to a force majeure event. During the six months ended August 31, 2013, the Company made principal payments of $487,000 and amortized $138,000 of the discount on the Navman note.

Deferred revenue     1,710     1,285
Contingent royalties consideration payable to Navman     315     303

During the six months ended August 31, 2013, the Company made royalty payments of $105,000 to Navman.
