5.   Debt:
    Revolving Line of Credit
    In June 2011, the Company extended its revolving line of credit facility in the amount of $5 million from a commercial bank. The line of credit facility matures on June 25, 2013. Borrowings under this line of credit are unsecured, due on demand and bear interest at either the bank’s prime rate or one and three-quarters percent over the thirty, sixty or ninety day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with a LIBOR floor of one and one-quarter percent. The Company pays no commitment fee on this line of credit and has no compensating balance requirements. It is subject to financial and non-financial covenants including maintenance of a minimum net worth and restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, as well as the sale or encumbrance of its assets. At September 30, 2011, $400 thousand was outstanding under this line of credit.
    Long term debt
    In December 2010, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with the same commercial bank as the revolving line of credit in order to borrow up to $4 million for rehabilitation of the Willimantic Branch (“Construction Loan”). The Construction Loan requires payments of interest only for the first six months accruing at the bank’s prime rate. After the initial six month period, the Construction Loan converted to a 10 year term loan with a 20 year amortization period and bears interest at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston 5/20 rate plus 3% (5.18% as of the conversion date). The Company has the right to prepay the balance or any part thereof out of internally-generated funds without penalty. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The outstanding balance of the Construction Loan converted to a term loan under the terms stated above during June 2011 and the first payment on the term loan was made during July 2011. The Construction Loan is subject to financial and non-financial covenants, including maintenance of minimum net worth and minimum debt service coverage.
    The carrying value of the Company’s debt facilities approximated its fair value at September 30, 2011 which was estimated using current borrowing rates available to the Company.
