In conjunction with the acquisition of TOC on April 2, 2008, its former shareholders provided a subordinated loan to TOC in the amount of €3,000 (U.S. - $4,019). The loan bears interest at 7% payable to the former shareholders on a semi-annual basis. The subordinated loan, including all accrued interest, which was originally repayable in full on March 31, 2011 was extended to July 8, 2011, and paid in full during the quarter ended October 1, 2011.

Promissory notes consist of notes issued to former shareholders as a result of business acquisitions. As consideration in the acquisition of TOC, the Company issued a total of €9,000 (U.S. - $12,056) in promissory notes which are secured by a pledge of the common shares of TOC. Of the €9,000 (U.S. - $12,056) issued, €1,000 (U.S. - $1,436) was paid in cash on April 5, 2010. The remaining €8,000 (U.S. - $10,717), previously due on March 31, 2011 has been extended and will be repaid in four €2,000 tranches on October 7, 2011, January 6, 2012, April 6, 2012 and July 6, 2012. The outstanding balance will accrue interest at 5% per annum. As part of the extension, the former shareholders can demand full repayment of the remaining amount owing. Due to TOC's opening balance sheet not meeting pre-determined working capital targets, and an undisclosed liability that existed prior to the Company's April 2, 2008 acquisition, € 528 (U.S. - $707) of the promissory notes extended above will not be paid. Accordingly, the balance of the promissory notes at October 1, 2011 is €7,472 (U.S. - $10,010). Subsequent to quarter-end, the balance owing as of October 7, 2011, including accrued interest, was paid to the former shareholders.
