Note 2.            Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit

 

            Until August 2013, the Company had a Commercial Line of Credit Agreement, or the Line, with Monroe Bank + Trust, or the Bank, up to $400,000 bearing interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (3.25% at March 31, 2014) plus 0.75%, but in no event less than 5.00%, and secured by a first lien on substantially all assets (except equipment) of the Company.  Two certificates of deposit totaling approximately $142,000 from the Bank were held as a condition of maintaining the Line.  In August 2013, the Line was renewed with a new maturity date of October 2013 and a borrowing limit of $233,067.  The Bank cashed in the two certificates of deposit held totaling approximately $142,000 and used them to pay down the Line, effectively reducing the borrowing capacity by $25,000.  In October 2013, the Line was renewed again with a new maturity date of December 2013 and a borrowing limit of $218,067, further reducing the borrowing capacity by $15,000.  In December 2013 the Company defaulted on the Line, and in April 2014 the Company signed a forbearance agreement with the Bank, temporarily restricting them from exercising certain rights and remedies available after the Company’s default.  In addition to retaining certain rights and remedies, the Bank agreed to allow the Company to repay the Line over six months, with an immediate payment of approximately $39,000 including accrued interest, and successive monthly payments of $36,784 plus accrued interest at 5%, up to and including September 7, 2014 until a total of $218,000 in principal is repaid.  As of the date of this filing, the Company is in default of the forbearance agreement, having made a total of $86,000 out of the approximately $147,000 in scheduled payments.  As of August 1, 2014, the principal owed the Bank was approximately $132,000.

 

            In December 2013, the Company borrowed a total of $28,000, net of debt discount of $27,000, from two existing stockholders to provide operating capital.  Both notes payable were for a term of three months at an interest rate of 12%, and included warrants to purchase common stock of the Company.  In the second quarter of 2014, both stockholders converted their respective note to common stock of the Company at the fair market value of the stock at the time of conversion.

 

            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 demanded a payment of $412,576, payable monthly over 20 years at an interest rate of approximately 2.8% at $2,250 per month, or approximately $27,000 per year.  Payments at the end of the 20 year period would total $540,065.  In December 2013, the Company received a Notice of Default from Central States, and subsequently the Fund’s trustee served the Company with a summons in a civil matter, and together with the Notice demanded all amounts owed in withdrawal liability plus interest and penalties.  The Company remains in negotiations with Central States to agree on terms and conditions of repayment.

 

In 2011, the Company borrowed $200,000 with a Promissory Note payable to David and Edna Kasmoch, the parents of Timothy Kasmoch, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, at 12% interest and prepaid for a period of three months, renewable for an additional three months by the prepayment of additional interest and secured by certain equipment.  Timothy Kasmoch has personally guaranteed the repayment of this Note.  The Company extended the Note on all four due dates during 2012 and 2013, and the January and April due dates in 2014, and the Note is now due July 30, 2014.  The Company expects to extend the Note on or before the due date but pay the Note in full during 2014 or early 2015.

 

From the beginning of 2006 through the first quarter of 2014, the Company has borrowed a total of $1,677,100 from ten lenders to purchase processing and automotive equipment.  As of March 31, 2014, a total of three term notes are outstanding, ranging from 6.2% to 7.1% interest for terms ranging three to five years, monthly payments totaling approximately $5,700 and all secured by equipment.  The total amount owed on all equipment-secured notes as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $76,200 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 our unregistered common stock at $2.00 per share.  The Debentures were 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.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company held $455,000 of Debentures, but defaulted and did not pay the holders the principal amount due, all of which currently remain outstanding.  The Company will continue to accrue additional interest on the principal amount at the rate set forth in the Debentures until the principal amount is paid in full.  Subsequent to June 30, 2013 the Company has and expects to pay all accrued interest due and the principal amount to all outstanding holders of the Debentures after completing substitute financial arrangements, though there can be no assurance of the timing of receipt of these funds and amounts available from these substitute arrangements.
