NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT (cont’d):

On June 28, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Webster. The terms of the new agreement, among other things: (i) provided for a new maturity date of June 30, 2024, and (ii) changed the interest rate per annum to SOFR plus 1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%). Interest rate at October 31, 2023 was 7.18%. All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same. The credit facility is for $14,000,000. The unused line of credit as of October 31, 2023 was $2,185,219. The collateral related to the outstanding debt is all assets of the company.

We are subject to certain covenants with respect to our line of credit agreement and we were not in compliance with the net profit and non-borrower affiliate covenants as of October 31, 2022. We requested a waiver from the lender and the waiver was granted and received on March 15, 2023. The lender also extended the due date of the October 31, 2022 financial statements until April 15, 2023. On March 15, 2023, the A&R Loan Agreement was also modified to, among other things: (i) provide for a requirement for subordination agreements if necessary, (ii) change the terms of transactions with affiliates from a dollar limitation to allowable in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) establish a new covenant for a fixed charge coverage ratio.

Each of the A&R Loan Facility and A&R Loan Agreement contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that place annual restrictions on the Borrowers’ operations, including covenants relating to fixed charge coverage ratio, debt to tangible net worth and tangible net worth. The Company as of October 31, 2023 has failed to comply with one of these covenants and resulted in an event of default under the loan agreement. The lender has various defenses that it can apply against the Company, which includes up to and calling the line of credit. There is no guarantee that the lender will not issue a waiver or not call the line of credit. The outstanding balance on the Company’s lines of credit were $9,620,000 and $8,314,000 as of October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively.
