Note 5. Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt

On December 23, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries executed a Credit Agreement with RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank (collectively, the “Banks”) to provide financing to the Company to replace the prior credit agreement with RBC Bank that terminated in conjunction with this Agreement. The current Agreement initially provided for a line of credit of up to $17.5 million and two term loans of $3.5 million and $3.0 million. On March 5, 2012 PNC Bank replaced RBC Bank in our agreement having acquired the U.S. operations of RBC Bank.

 

   

1st Amendment: On May 26, 2011, the Banks amended the Credit Agreement to reduce the revolver commitment to $15.0 million, restate the covenants to pertain to only continuing operations of the Company and to adjust the targets for the senior funded debt to EBITDA covenant for the Company’s quarters ending May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2011.

 

   

2nd Amendment: On July 26, 2011, the Banks again amended the Credit Agreement to include a swing-line promissory note of $1.0 million that is included in the revised $15.0 million revolver commitment.

 

   

3rd Amendment: On September 1, 2011, the Banks amended the Credit Agreement to allow the Company to repurchase a limited amount of the Company’s common stock, equal to ten percent of the Company’s net earnings after taxes, subject to meeting certain share repurchase conditions and revised the definition of the fixed charge coverage ratio and total liabilities to tangible net worth to exclude such repurchases.

 

   

4th Amendment: On January 17, 2012, the Banks amended the Credit Agreement to allow the Company to purchase a promissory note, dated July 23, 2010, held by Hetra Secure Solutions Corporation on StingRay56.

 

   

5th Amendment: On March 5, 2012, the Banks amended the Credit Agreement to allow the Company to acquire StingRay56, Inc.

The outstanding balance of the line of credit at February 28, 2013 was $9.9 million and the balances of the term loans were $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company and a limited guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer of $3.0 million. The $3.0 million term loan is secured by real estate property of the Company and a building owned by Southeastern Metro Savings, LLC, a company in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is a minority officer. The building will continue to be in the collateral pool until such time as the note is sufficiently paid down or it is replaced by other collateral.

 

The agreement contains three covenants, as amended: a fixed charge coverage ratio, ratio of senior funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and total liabilities to tangible net worth. The agreement also includes restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt or liens, investments (including Company stock, as amended), divestitures and certain other changes in the business. The Agreement expires on December 1, 2013. The interest rate on these loans is a floating LIBOR rate based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum 4.0%, as defined in the loan documents.

 

As of February 28, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio, the senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio (which the Company believes is the most restrictive covenant) and permitted share repurchases covenants as defined by the Banks credit line agreements. The breach of these covenants resulted in a default under our debt agreement and a current classification of the loans earlier in this fiscal year. This default could prompt the lender to declare all amounts outstanding under the debt agreement to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit; however, the Banks have given no current indication of any intention of calling the loans. If the debts were called and the Company was unable to repay those amounts, the lender could proceed against the collateral granted to secure that indebtedness. If the lender under the debt agreement accelerates the repayment of the borrowings, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the borrowings under its debt agreements. Additionally, due to the activity generated by the chairman’s remarks at the 2012 annual shareholder meeting concerning any potential mergers, spinoffs, sale of the Company as a whole or any other method (see 8-K), the Company put negotiations on hold with the current syndication of banks.
