At June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.7 million of principal due in 2013. This amount consists entirely of principal amortization on mortgage loans.

 

We are required to comply with certain financial covenants for some of our lenders.  As of June 30, 2013, we were either in compliance with our financial covenants or obtained waivers for noncompliance (as discussed below).  As a result, we are not in default of any of our loans.

 

Our loan facilities with GE Franchise Finance Commercial LLC require us to maintain a minimum after dividend consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) (as defined in the loan agreement). For the second quarter of 2013, the requirement was 0.95:1. As of June 30, 2013, our after dividend consolidated FCCR (as defined in the loan agreement) was 0.88:1. On August 13, 2013, the Company received a waiver for non-compliance with this covenant as of June 30, 2013 in return for payment of $107,500. In connection with the waiver, our loan facilities with GE were also amended to increase the before dividend FCCR with respect to our GE-encumbered properties from 1.05:1 to 1.20:1, commencing on September 30, 2013.

 

Our credit facilities with Great Western Bank require us to maintain a loan-specific debt service coverage ratio of 1.20:1 or more. In the event the ratio is below the requirement on any measurement date, the loan agreement provides for an automatic decrease in the availability of the revolving credit facility in an amount sufficient to meet the required ratio. On June 30, 2013 the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio was 1.17:1 (based upon full availability); accordingly, the availability of our revolving credit facility was decreased from $12.5 million to $12.05 million to maintain compliance with the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.20:1. The availability of our revolving credit facility is adjusted quarterly, subject to maximum availability of $12.5 million.
