NOTE 8  -  REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has a $30 million unsecured revolving line of credit with its bank group in the U.S., all of which was available as of March 31, 2012.  The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.  Annually in the third quarter, the credit facility is renewable with respect to adding an additional year of commitment, if the bank group so chooses, to replace the year just ended.  Interest on the revolving lines of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, or at the bank’s base lending rate, at the Company’s option.  The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 175 and 215 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the credit facility.  The fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed line of credit is 25 basis points.  Under terms of this credit facility, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the amount of debt obligations, require a minimum amount of tangible net worth, and limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA. 
 

The Company also has a $5 million line of credit for its Canadian subsidiary.  The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, at which time the Company expects to renew this line of credit.  Interest on the Canadian subsidiary’s line of credit is charged based upon a 200 basis point increment over the LIBOR rate or based upon an increment over the United States base rate if funds borrowed are denominated in U.S. dollars or an increment over the Canadian prime rate if funds borrowed are denominated in Canadian dollars.  There are no borrowings against this line of credit as of March 31, 2012.

The Company assumed a mortgage loan with the acquisition of AdL Technology in July 2009.  Monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $10,000 were made through February, 2012 at an interest rate of 7.76%, at which time the balance was paid in full.  

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of March 31, 2012.
