Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit
Note 2.                      Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company had a line of credit with Monroe Bank + Trust, or the Bank, up to $400,000 bearing interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (3.25% at September 30, 2012) plus 0.75%, but in no event less than 5.00%, and secured by a first lien on all assets (except equipment) of the Company.  In August 2012 it was renewed with a maturity date of August 15, 2013.  Two certificates of deposit totaling $141,716 from the Bank are held as a condition of maintaining the line of credit.  At September 30, 2012, the Company had $40,000 of borrowing capacity under the credit facility.

In November 2012, the Company received a Notice and Demand of Payment Withdrawal Liability from Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the "Notice"), the pension trustee that was funded by the Company for the benefit of its former employees at its City of Toledo operation.  The Notice demands a payment of $412,576, payable monthly over 20 years at an interest rate of approximately 2.8% at $2,250.27 per month, or approximately $27,000 per year.  Payments at the end of the 20 year period would total $540,065.  As of the balance sheet date, the Company has accrued this liability and recognized the expense.  However, the Company is reviewing all possible options and plans to take whatever legal action is available and necessary to reduce or eliminate this liability.  It is too early in the process to give any expectations on possible outcomes or outlook.

In 2011 the Company borrowed $200,000 with a Promissory Note payable to a related party of Timothy Kasmoch, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, at 12% interest prepaid for a period of three months, renewable for an additional three months by the prepayment of additional interest and secured by certain equipment.  Mr. Kasmoch has personally guaranteed the repayment of this Note.  The Company extended the Note on January 30, 2012, April 30, 2012, July 30, 2012 and again on October 30, 2012.  It is now due January 30, 2013.  The Company expects to extend the Note on or before the due date but pay the Note in full during 2013.
 
From the beginning of 2006 through the third quarter of 2012, the Company has borrowed a total of $1,677,100 from ten lenders to purchase processing and automotive equipment.  As of September 30, 2012, a total of eight term notes are outstanding, ranging from 6.2% to 10.9% interest for terms ranging three to five years, monthly payments totaling approximately $18,000 and all secured by equipment.  The total amount owed on all equipment-secured notes as of September 30, 2012 was approximately $261,500 and all notes are expected to be paid in full on the applicable maturity date, the last of which is in March 2016.
 
In 2009 the Company approved an offering of up to $1,000,000 of Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures"), convertible at any time into the Company's unregistered common stock at $2.00 per share.  The Debentures are issuable in $5,000 denominations, are unsecured and have a stated interest rate of 8%, payable quarterly to holders of record.  The Company has timely paid all accrued interest due to all Debenture holders of record as of each quarter-end date starting in July 2009.  At any time, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Debentures at face value plus unpaid interest.
 
During 2009 the Company issued $765,000 of Debentures to a total of twenty-three accredited investors, and one investor converted $10,000 of Debentures into unregistered common stock.  During 2010 the Company issued $55,000 of Debentures, and three investors converted a total of $90,000 of Debentures into unregistered common stock.  The Debentures matured at June 30, 2011, however fifteen investors holding Debentures totaling $365,000 elected to replace them with new ones that now mature at June 30, 2013 but are not payable until the 10th business day of July.  All other features of the "expired" Debentures remained the same in the replacement ones, except for the new maturity date.  Of the four investors totaling $355,000 who did not replace their existing Debentures with new ones, two investors totaling $215,000 had their Debentures repaid; one investor converted $50,000 into unregistered common stock (at June 30, 2011) and one holding $90,000 of Debentures has not made a final decision.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company held $455,000 of Debentures.

Because the fair market value of the Company's common stock (the underlying security in the Debentures) may have been above the conversion price of $2.00 per share at the date of issuance, the Company was required under GAAP to record a discount given for certain (now) "expired" Debentures sold, which totaled $184,975.  The discount was then required to be amortized as a period expense over the periods the Debentures were scheduled to be outstanding, which averaged 20 months, through the maturity date of June 30, 2011.  Amortization expense on these "expired" Debentures for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $-0-, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $-0- and $52,326, respectively.

For periods subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company is required under GAAP to record a discount for certain Debentures replaced, which totals $32,737 and was recorded as a gain on debt modification during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  The discount is required to be amortized as a period expense over the next eight quarters the Debentures are scheduled to be outstanding.  Amortization expense for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $4,092, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $12,276 and $4,092, respectively.
