Note 3 - Line of Credit and Notes Payable Disclosure
Note 3 - Line of Credit and Notes Payable	Note 3 – Line of Credit and Notes Payable Line of Credit The Company has a $7.0 million Revolving Line of Credit (“Line of Credit”) under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with its primary financial lender. At December 31, 2011, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. The Line of Credit requires quarterly interest payments based on the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2.75% (3.02% at December 31, 2011), and the interest rate is reset monthly. Any outstanding balance under the Line of Credit is due on November 30, 2012. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are limited to the lesser of $7.0 million or the net balance of 80% of qualified accounts receivable plus 50% of qualified inventory less any outstanding term note balances and less the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement in excess of $900,000. Under these limitations, the Company’s total Line of Credit borrowing base was $5.4 million at December 31, 2011. Among other financial covenants, the Line of Credit agreement provides that the Company must maintain a fixed charge ratio of coverage (EBITDA to total fixed charges) of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, determined quarterly, and restricts the payment of dividends to no more than 50% of the Company’s net income. The Line of Credit is collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles. Notes Payable The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement includes two separate term loans, which are also collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles. The first term loan is a $2.8 million term loan. The outstanding balance under this term loan was $1.8 million at December 31, 2011 and is due on November 20, 2021, with monthly principal payments of $15,334 plus accrued interest. The interest rate is the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.4% (1.67% at December 31, 2011) and is reset monthly. The second term loan under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement is a $16.3 million term loan. The outstanding balance of this term loan was $9.8 million at December 31, 2011 and is due November 30, 2014, with quarterly payments of approximately $0.4 million plus accrued interest. Through November 30, 2012, the interest rate is the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.4% (1.67% at December 31, 2011) and is reset monthly. Beginning December 1, 2012, the interest rate will be the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2.4%. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value since the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on a floating interest rate.
