The revolving line of credit, which is available for working capital purposes, is renewable annually.  The associated interest rate is equal to the greater of the floating Commerce Bank Prime Rate (currently 3.25%) or a floor of 4% (as listed above).  Monthly repayments of interest only are required with the principal due at maturity.  This facility is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other facilities and is secured by a first lien on all business assets of Torotel Products. 

On February 21, 2014, Torotel Products refinanced its mortgage note under the financing agreement with the Bank.  No cash proceeds were received as a result of the refinancing.  Prepayment of the new note up to $100,000 per year is allowed without penalty so long as these funds are generated through internal cash flow and not borrowed from a separate financial institution.  The new note is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other facilities of Torotel Products and is secured by a first real estate mortgage on the property located at 620 North Lindenwood Drive in Olathe, Kansas.
    
The guidance line of credit is to be used for equipment purchases. Monthly repayments consisting of both interest and principal are required. This facility is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other facilities and is secured by a purchase money security interest in the assets purchased as well as a first lien on all business assets of Torotel Products.  Subsequent to April 30, 2014, we received proceeds from additional borrowing on our existing equipment loan to purchase additional machinery and equipment. Please see Note 16 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this activity.

Torotel Products is also required to comply with specified financial covenants and as of April 30, 2014, Torotel was in compliance with these covenants.
