Note 7 – Financing Arrangements


On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., (“HSBC”), to replace its $5.0 million Revolving Credit Agreement and $2.1 million of existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A., which was secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property. This new agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a $2.1 million five (5) year term loan. 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 Rate plus 1.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime rate minus 0.50%. The term loan was used to pay off the existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A. Interest on the unpaid principal balance accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings under this term loan are collateralized by certain assets as defined under the agreement.


Effective as of March 15, 2012, we closed on the purchase of a 120,000 square foot facility located at 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York (the “Central Islip facility”) through the town of Islip Industrial Development Agency (Note 8). 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”), proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the purchase price on the Central Islip facility. The cash proceeds we received in from the sale of our previously owned headquarters were used to reduce this loan by $1,309,000. The Loan is secured by the mortgage against the Central Islip facility. 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%. This rate was 1.9166% on December 31, 2013 and the loan matures on March 1, 2022.
