Interest is charged monthly at one-month LIBOR plus 1.75 basis points which totaled 2.00% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the Company with the exception of the outstanding stock of Dansensor, and there was $4,500,000 and $4,000,000 outstanding at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Outstanding borrowings on the Denmark line of credit are charged interest at 4.35% per year.

We are subject to various financial and restrictive covenants in the bank Credit Agreement, including maintaining certain financial ratios and limits on incurring additional indebtedness, making capital and lease expenditures and making share repurchases. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these various covenants and expect to remain in compliance throughout 2014.
