NOTE F – LINES OF CREDIT

 

Loan and Security Agreement with Medallion Financial Corp (“Medallion”)

 

On April 20, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Medallion, a Senior Lender, to refinance the Company’s Line of Credit with Rosenthal and Rosenthal, Inc (“Rosenthal”; see below for information on Rosenthal Line of Credit).

 

Under the Loan Agreement, Medallion provided the Company with up to $1,000,000 under a revolving secured line of credit (the “Medallion Line of Credit”), which is secured by a first security interest in all of the Company’s receivables, inventory, and intellectual property rights along with a second security interest in the Company’s machinery and equipment. The maximum amount available under the Medallion Line of Credit is subject to an Advance Rate that consists of: 85% of eligible accounts receivable and up to 30% of eligible inventory (not to exceed $150,000). “Eligible Receivables” are defined as those receivables that are paid within ninety (90) days of the invoice date. Eligible Receivables consists of both domestic sales and those international sales made in North America. An Eligible Receivable becomes ineligible if more than 25% of the aggregate receivables due from a customer are more than ninety (90) days past due or the aggregate receivables from a customer exceed 25% of the then total outstanding Eligible Receivables. “Eligible Inventory” is defined as raw materials and finished goods that are not obsolete or unmerchantable and are acceptable to Medallion.

 

From the loan availability on the Closing Date, we drew approximately $566,000 to pay off our Line of Credit with Rosenthal. We were charged a facility fee of 1% of the balance of the Medallion Line of Credit on the Closing Date and will be charged the same facility fee of 1% on each anniversary of the Closing Date thereafter. Under the Loan Agreement, interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly and is charged at an annual rate equal to 4% above a base rate (which is the Wall Street Journal Prime as published from time to time; as of December 31, 2012, the Wall Street Journal Prime was 3.25%). If we were to default under the Loan Agreement, interest on outstanding borrowings under the Medallion Line of Credit would be charged at an annual rate of 2% above the interest rate in effect at the time of such default. We are subject to two audits per year by Medallion (provided we are not in default) at a rate of $950.00 per person per day. Prior to closing, we also paid a non-refundable fee in the amount of $10,000 to Medallion for field exam and due diligence costs.

 

We incurred $20,000 in costs related to the Medallion Line of Credit. These costs were fully expensed in Fiscal 2012. We incurred $42,000 in interest expense in Fiscal 2012 (no interest expense was incurred in Fiscal 2011 as we did not close on the Medallion Line of Credit until April 2012). We had accrued interest of $3,000 at December 31, 2012.

 

The amount outstanding on the Medallion Line of Credit at December 31, 2012 was $321,000. Additional loan availability was $67,000, for a total Loan Availability of $388,000 as of December 31, 2012. No amounts were outstanding or available at December 31, 2011, as we did not close on the Medallion Line of Credit until April 2012.

 

So long as any obligations are due to Medallion under the Medallion Line of Credit, we must maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $1,750,000. The Company was not in compliance with this requirement as of the year ended December 31, 2012, however, on January 16, 2013, the Company entered into a three-year Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”) with Imperium Commercial Finance, LLC (“Imperium”), a new Senior Lender, to refinance the Medallion Line of Credit. Given the termination (and refinancing) of the Medallion Line of Credit, this default did not result in any triggers under the Medallion Line of Credit and did not result in any financial implications for the Company. (See Note L - Subsequent Event; Refinancing of Medallion Line of Credit).

 

ROSENTHAL LINE OF CREDIT

 

In July 2009, we entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Rosenthal. On February 28, 2012, we gave Rosenthal written notice of non-renewal as provided under the Financing Agreement, and as a result, the Financing Agreement terminated on May 31, 2012.

   

Under the Financing Agreement, Rosenthal provided the Company with up to $1,500,000 under a revolving secured line of credit (“Rosenthal Line of Credit”). The Rosenthal Line of Credit was collateralized by a first security interest in all of the Company’s accounts receivables, inventory, and intellectual property, and a second security interest in our machinery and equipment, leases, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures. The maximum availability of $1,500,000 was subject to an availability formula based on certain percentages of accounts receivable and inventory, and elements of the availability formula were subject to periodic review and revision by Rosenthal. Under the Financing Agreement, we paid Rosenthal an administrative fee of $1,500 per month and an annual fee of $15,000. There were additional administrative fees paid that totaled $34,000 in Fiscal 2011 (there were no administrative fees charged in Fiscal 2012). Under the Financing Agreement, interest was payable monthly, and was charged at variable rates (based on the Prime Rate), with minimum monthly interest of $4,000. We incurred $19,000 in interest expense in Fiscal 2012 and $54,000 in interest expense in Fiscal 2011.

 

We incurred $41,000 in costs related to the Rosenthal Line of Credit. These costs were amortized over the three-year term of the Rosenthal Line of Credit. We amortized $6,000 of these costs in Fiscal 2012 and $14,000 of these costs in Fiscal 2011.

 

In April 2012, we drew approximately $566,000 from our Medallion Line of Credit to pay off the Rosenthal Line of Credit so the amount due on the Rosenthal Line of Credit as of December 31, 2012 was $0. The amount outstanding on the Rosenthal Line of Credit at December 31, 2011 was $397,000, with $361,000 of this amount outstanding collateralized by accounts receivable at an interest rate of 8% and $36,000 collateralized by inventory at an interest rate of 9%. Additional loan availability was $159,000, for a total Loan Availability of $556,000 as of December 31, 2011.
