NOTE 3 FINANCING AGREEMENTS

        On May 2, 2012, we entered into the fourth amendment to the third amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (WFB). The credit agreement with WFB provides for a line of credit arrangement of $13.5 million, which expires if not renewed, on May 31, 2015. The credit arrangement also provides a $1.8 million real estate term note with a maturity date of March 31, 2027, which replaced the $0.9 million real estate term note that was to expire on May 31, 2012, and a new term loan of up to $2.0 million for capital expenditures to be made prior to December 31, 2013 with a maturity date of May 31, 2015. At December 31, 2013 we borrowed $1.4 million of the $2.0 million capital term loan.

        On December 31, 2012, in connection with our purchase of the Mankato building from Winland Electronics we again amended our credit agreement with WFB to include an additional $1.7 million real estate term note that expires if not renewed on May 31, 2015. The purchase of the building was funded through our line of credit which was paid down when the new real estate term note was funded on January 9, 2013.

        Under the agreement, both the line of credit and real estate term notes are subject to variations in the LIBOR rate. Our line of credit bears interest at three-month LIBOR + 2.75% (3.0% at December 31, 2013) while our real estate term notes bear interest at three-month LIBOR + 3.25% (3.5% at December 31, 2013). The weighted-average interest rate on our line of credit and real estate term note were 3.15% and 3.58%, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2013. We had borrowings on our line of credit of $7,234,983 and $7,923,487 outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        The credit agreement contains certain covenants which, among other things, require us to adhere to regular reporting requirements, abide by annual shareholder dividend limitations, maintain certain financial performance, and limit the amount of annual capital expenditures.

        The availability under the line is subject to borrowing base requirements, and advances are at the discretion of the lender. At December 31, 2013, we have net unused availability under our line of credit of approximately $5.8 million. The line is secured by substantially all of our assets.

        A summary of long-term debt balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
