NOTE 7:     LONG-TERM DEBT


On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. (“HSBC”). This agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a five (5) year term loan in the initial amount of $2.1 million. The $7 million revolving credit facility remained unused as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the balances of the term loan as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1,225,000 and $1,540,000, respectively. The revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow on a revolving basis until August 5, 2014. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrues at either (i) the LIBOR plus 1.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime rate minus 0.50%. Principal payments on the term loan are $35,000 per month. Interest on the unpaid $1,225,000 principal balance for the term loan, which was used to pay off previous mortgages, accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings under this term loan were additionally collateralized by $1 million of restricted cash deposits, provided that, so long as no event of default has occurred and is then continuing, HSBC will release $200,000 of the collateral on each anniversary of the closing date. The restricted balance at September 30, 2013 was $800,000. This restricted cash is a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet. The credit agreement also contains certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with one of these covenants and has received a written waiver from HSBC.


Effective as of March 15, 2012, we closed on the purchase of a 120,000 square foot facility located at 355 S. Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York (the “Property”) through the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency. The purchase price for the Property was $7,200,000 exclusive of closing costs. Pursuant to the terms of an Accommodation Agreement, we entered into a loan agreement with HSBC Bank, in the amount of $6,000,000 (the “Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the purchase price on the Property. The Loan is secured by a mortgage recorded against the Property. Interest presently accrues on the Loan, at our option, at the variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or HSBC’s prime rate minus 0.50%. As a result of the tax structure of the transaction for the sale of the facility at 1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, it was required that we use a portion of the proceeds received, approximately $1,309,000, towards reducing the mortgage on the property in Central Islip. The mortgage balance at September 30, 2013 was $4,240,508. The loan matures on March 15, 2022.
