At December 31, 2011, the Company had borrowings, including capital lease obligations, and borrowings related to discontinued operations, of approximately $1.53 million, including $542,000 of long-term debt included in liabilities related to assets held for sale, which is reported as current as it is due or expected to be repaid in less than twelve months from December 31, 2011 and net of unamortized discounts for warrants and a conversion option classified in stockholders’ equity totaling $549,000 at December 31, 2011.

 

We had two letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2011 totaling $149,392 as collateral relating to workers’ compensation insurance policies. We maintain a $250,000 revolving credit facility to provide financing for additional electronic surveillance product inventory purchases and for commercial letters of credit. There was one commercial letter of credit outstanding for inventory purchases under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2011 for $34,698.

 

Our most significant borrowings at December 31, 2011 included secured notes payable to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) and a $1.4 million debenture note with Merlin. The $1.4 million debenture note with Merlin, which is classified as a current liability and recorded at $851,000 at December 31, 2011, excluding the unamortized value of a conversion option and the value of warrants related to the debenture totaling $549,000, which are both classified in stockholders’ equity. The debenture note is secured by a security interest in the “Mace” name, a pledge of the stock of Mace CSSS, Inc. and a security interest in the assets of Mace CSSS, Inc. See Note 19. Related Party Transactions for additional information and terms regarding the debt instruments with Merlin. The secured notes payable to Chase, in the amount of $575,000, the majority of which is classified as current liabilities in current portion of long-term debt or liabilities related to assets held for sale at December 31, 2011, are secured by an Arlington, Texas car wash site which was sold on February 29, 2012. The Chase agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants relating to the maintenance of certain levels of tangible net worth, limitations on capital spending and certain financial reporting requirements. As of December 31, 2011, a car wash was encumbered by mortgages. Additionally, upon sale of the Company’s Farmers Branch, Texas warehouse which was used as collateral against the Company’s Chase revolving credit facility, $439,000 of the Company’s cash was deposited into a restricted cash account at Chase as security against the Company’s revolving credit facility and certain letters of credit provided by Chase as collateral relating to workers’ compensation insurance policies.

 

The Chase term loan agreement also limits capital expenditures annually to $1.0 million, requires the Company to provide Chase with an Annual Report on Form 10-K and audited financial statements within 120 days of the Company’s fiscal year end and a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. The Chase agreement also contained a covenant that required the maintenance of a minimum total unencumbered cash and marketable securities balance of $1.5 million, which was eliminated through a credit agreement amendment effective December 31, 2011. We were in compliance with the ongoing financial covenants as of December 31, 2011.

 

If we default on any of the Chase covenants and are not able to obtain amendments or waivers, Chase debt totaling $575,000 at December 31, 2011 could become due and payable on demand and Chase could foreclose on the assets pledged in support of the relevant indebtedness.

 

Maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations including debt related to discontinued operations, are as follows: 2012 - $1,420 and 2013 - $112.
