NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 20, 2017, the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, to ensure that this filing includes appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2016, and events which occurred subsequent to December 31, 2016 but were not recognized in the financial statements. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition, adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements except as below and except as disclosed in Note 13.

Amendment to Credit Agreement

In March 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A to, among other things, obtain an additional term loan in the amount of $5,000,000. Upon disbursement of the additional term loan, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under our terms loans will be approximately $29,714,453. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loans is payable as follows:

•   $742,861.33 on June 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.

We will use the proceeds of the additional term loan to repay a portion of all amounts outstanding under the secured subsordinated note we issued in connection with the Mangrove acquisition. In the March 2017 amendment, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo has consented to such early repayment of the Mangrove note, subject to the condition, among others, that the repayment of the Mangrove note will not exceed $5,879,000.

The March 2017 amendment also amends our fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio.  We have now agreed to:

•   a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2017 and each calendar quarter thereafter up to December 31, 2017, and not less than 1.5 to :1.0 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and each calendar quarter thereafter up to December 31, 2018, and

•   a leverage ratio of not greater than 4.25 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2017, stepping down to 3.0 to 1.0 at March 31, 2018.
