Note 6 – Long-Term Debt

In September 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with BCA Mezzanine Fund LLP (“BCA”) to loan the Company $2,500,000 in the form of a Promissory Note (the “Note”).  The Company incurred expenses of $541,604 in connection with this loan, including legal fees, investment banking fees and other transaction fees.  These expenses are included as deferred debt expense in the accompanying balance sheet, and these expenses are being amortized over the term of the loan.

The features of the Note are as follows:

(1)  
The Note has a term of five (5) years with an annual interest rate of 14% on the outstanding principal amount.  Payments for the first year were interest only and amounted to $28,762 monthly.  In September 2011, the Company began making monthly payments of approximately $69,000 for interest and principal for the remaining term of the loan. BCA had agreed to allow the Company to defer principal payments for the three months ended September 30, 2012. BCA has also agreed to allow the Company to defer principal payments due on October 31 and November 30, 2012. These amounts are deferred until September 2015. BCA has also agreed to allow the Company to defer principal payments due on December 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013 to February 2013.

(2)  
At inception, the Company issued BCA  a nine-year warrant for 136,090 shares, based upon 4.5% of the fully-diluted outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $6.70 per share, the average closing price of the common stock over the three days preceding the loan closing on the NYSE-MKT Exchange.  In the event of specific major corporate events or the maturity of the five-year loan, BCA can require the Company to purchase the warrant and warrant shares at the higher of the then Exchange market price less the share exercise price, in the case of the purchase of the warrant, or five times operating income per share. In connection with the warrant issued in conjunction with the issuance of this debt, the Company recorded a debt discount and warrant liability, which is being marked to fair value at the end of each period (see Note 10 to Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  The debt discount is being amortized over the life of the loan.

(3)  
Loan provisions also contain customary representations and warranties.

(4)  
BCA has a lien on all of the Company’s assets.  In February 2011, BCA agreed to release part of its lien on Company assets to the U.S. Government to allow for progress billings up to $1,000,000.

(5)  
The Company was required to pay prepayment fees if the Company decided to prepay a portion of the principal amount during the first two years of the loan. The Company may now prepay a portion of the principal amount without any prepayment penalty.  Each payment must be not less than $25,000 or multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof.

(6)  
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreement) or within five (5) Business Days of an O’Hara Life Insurance Realization Event (as defined in the Agreement), the Company shall, in each case at the election of BCA, prepay by wire transfer the entire outstanding principal amount of the Note in accordance with the redemption prices (the “Mandatory Redemption Prices”) set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid and shall pay 103% in the first year of the loan, 102% in the second year of the loan, and 100% thereafter), together with (x) Interest, if any, accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of the Note so prepaid through the date of such prepayment, (y) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), if any, associated with such prepayment, and (z) all other costs, expenses and indemnities then payable under this Agreement (such amounts, collectively the “Mandatory Redemption Payment”).  If a Change of Control or O’Hara Life Insurance Realization Event shall occur during any Loan Year set forth below, the Mandatory Redemption Price shall be determined based upon the percentage indicated above for such Loan Year multiplied by the principal amount which is being prepaid.  At the  election of BCA, all or any portion of the Mandatory Redemption Payment may be paid in the form of common stock of the Company in marketable condition in lieu of cash and to the extent available and to the extent not restricted by any SBIC Regulations.  In the event BCA makes the election contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall issue to BCA that number of shares having an aggregate Current Market Price as of such issuance date equal to that portion of the Mandatory Redemption Payment subject to such election.

(7)  
The Note contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants which restrict our operations.  The BCA agreement contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company was not in compliance with four covenants related to maintaining agreed upon financial ratios for fixed charges, leverage and debt service as well as a requirement for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) However, the Company received a waiver from BCA on each of the above mentioned covenants.   

(8)  
 The Company and BCA have amended certain provisions to certain restrictions.

In consideration for the waiver for non-compliance of the financial covenants at March 31, 2012, BCA received warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock underlying the warrant are exercisable at a price of $3.35 per share and the warrants expire on September 10, 2019. Determining the warrant value to be recorded requires us to develop estimates to be used in calculating the fair value of the warrant.  The fair value of the warrant is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the warrant was charged to financing costs in the accompanying statement of operations in the amount of $26,477 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 (see Note 10).

In consideration for the waiver for non-compliance of the financial covenants as September 30, 2012 and for the deferral of principal payments due on October 31 and November 30, 2012 to the end of the term of the loan (maturity), BCA received warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock underlying the warrants are exercisable at a price of $3.56 per share and the warrant expire on September 10, 2019. Determining the warrant value to be recorded requires us to develop estimates to be used in calculating the fair value of the warrant.  The fair value of the warrant is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the warrant was charged to financing costs in the accompanying statement of operations in the amount of $21,441 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 (see Note 10).

In consideration for the waiver for non-compliance of the financial covenants as December 31, 2012 and for the deferral of principal payments due on December 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013, BCA received warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock underlying the warrant is exercisable at a price of $3.58 per share and the warrants expire on September 10, 2019. Fair value of the warrant is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the warrant is $23,714. In addition, the Company agreed to pay an additional closing fee of 1% of the original principal in the amount of $25,000.

On July 26, 2012 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a private investor (the “Private Investor”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued (i) a senior secured promissory note in favor of the Private Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000, approximately $489,000 net of expenses, accruing interest at a rate of 14% per annum and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share. The Note, together with all unpaid interest and principal is due on March 31, 2013.  The common stock underlying the warrant is exercisable at a price of $3.35 per share and the warrant expires on September 10, 2019. In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement the Company entered into an (i) Investor Rights Agreement, (ii) Securities Agreement, (iii) Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) Subordination Agreement. The Company reported the foregoing on its Current Report on Form 8-K on August 3, 2012.

In connection with the warrant issued in conjunction with this debt, the Company recorded a debt discount and warrant liability, which is being marked to fair value at the end of each period (see Note 10 to Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 815, which requires that we mark the value of our warrant liability (see Note 10) to market and recognize the change in valuation in our statement of operations each reporting period. Determining the warrant liability to be recorded requires us to develop estimates to be used in calculating the fair value of the warrant.  The fair value of the warrant calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model was $65,193. The corresponding debt discount is being amortized over the life of the loan.

The new promissory note, dated July 26, 2012 with the Private Investor, contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants which restrict our operations.  The agreement contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants.
