The Company has evaluated all events subsequent to the balance sheet date of November 30, 2014 through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements and have determined that, except as set forth below, there are no subsequent events that require disclosure.

Financing Transactions

On December 4, 2014, the Company's Colombia subsidiary entered into a loan agreement with Citibank, N.A. The agreement establishes a credit facility for $15.0 million with a variable interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.8%. The loan term is for five years with quarterly interest and principal payments. The loan was funded on December 4, 2014.

Derivative Transactions
    
On December 16, 2014, the Company's El Salvador subsidiary entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia for a notional amount of $4.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement converts the El Salvador subsidiary's floating interest payments of the $4.0 million long-term monthly amortizing debt with the Bank of Nova Scotia to fixed interest payments during the life of the hedging instrument. As changes in interest rates impact the future cash flows of loan interest payments, the hedge is intended to offset changes in cash flows attributable to variable interest rate movements. The hedged loan has a variable interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 3.5%. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company will receive variable interest based on the 1-month LIBOR rate plus 3.5% on a monthly amortizing notional amount of $4.0 million and pay fixed interest of 4.78% for a term of approximately five years (effective date of December 1, 2014 through August 29, 2019). The LIBOR reset dates for the hedged long-term debt and the interest rate swap occur on the 29th day of each month beginning on December 29, 2015. The hedged loan was funded on August 29, 2014.
On December 10, 2014, the Company's Colombia subsidiary entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap agreement with Citibank, N.A for a notional amount of $15.0 million. The cross-currency interest rate swap agreement converts the Colombian subsidiary's U.S. dollar denominated principal and floating interest payments on the first $7.9 million of the total $15.0 million long-term quarterly amortizing debt with Citibank to functional currency principal and fixed interest payments during the life of the hedging instrument. As changes in foreign exchange and interest rates impact the future cash flow of principal and interest payments, the hedge is intended to offset changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate and foreign exchange movements. The hedged loan has a variable interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.8%. Under the cross-currency interest rate swap agreement, the Company will receive variable U.S. dollar principal and interest based on the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.8% on a quarterly amortizing notional amount of $15.0 million and pay fixed interest of 8.25% on a quarterly amortizing notional amount of 34,350,000,000 Colombian Pesos for a term of approximately five years (effective date of December 4, 2014 through December 3, 2019). The LIBOR reset dates for the hedged long-term debt and the cross-currency interest rate swap occur on the fourth day of March, June, September, and December beginning on March 4, 2015. The hedged loan was funded on December 4, 2014.
On December 9, 2014, the Company's Panama subsidiary entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia for a notional amount of $10.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement converts the Panama subsidiary's floating interest payments on the first $5.0 million of the total $10.0 million long-term monthly amortizing debt with the Bank of Nova Scotia to fixed interest payments during the life of the hedging instrument. As changes in interest rates impact the future cash flows of loan interest payments, the hedge is intended to offset changes in cash flows attributable to variable interest rate movements. The hedged loan has a variable interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 3.5%. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company will receive variable interest based on the 1-month LIBOR rate plus 3.5% on a monthly amortizing notional amount of $10.0 million and pay fixed interest of 5.159% for a term of approximately five years (effective date of November 28, 2014 through November 29, 2019).
