Loan Facility

 

On July 29, 2010, DLH Solutions entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the “Lender”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a two (2) year loan and security facility to DLH Solutions in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million, upon the further terms and subject to the conditions of the Loan Agreement. In November, 2010, the Lender agreed by means of an amendment to the Loan Agreement to increase the maximum amount available under the facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million and on February 9, 2011, we entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to further increase our maximum availability under the Loan Agreement from $2.5 million to $3.0 million and to provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. An interest rate premium of 2% is payable in respect of any advances secured by unbilled accounts receivable, which are subject to a sub-facility limit of $500,000 and an advance rate of 75%. The loan is secured by a security interest and lien on all of DLH Solutions’ cash accounts, account deposits, letters of credit and investment property, chattel paper, furniture, fixtures and equipment, instruments, investment property, general intangibles, deposit accounts, inventory, other property, all proceeds and products of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against third parties for loss of any of the foregoing) and all books and records related thereto. DLH Solutions’ ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to (i) computation of DLH Solutions’ advance availability limit based on “eligible accounts receivables” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) multiplied by the “Accounts Advance Rate” established by the Lender which initially shall be 85% and may be increased or decreased by the Lender in exercise of its discretion; and (ii) compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan. The loan was originally for a term of 24 months and after giving effect to the February 2011 amendment, which also extended the term of the Loan Agreement by 12 months, will mature on July 29, 2013.

 

Interest on the loan initially accrued on the daily unpaid balance of the loan advances secured by billed receivables at the greater of one point ninety-five percent (1.95%) above the Prime Rate (as published in effect in The Wall Street Journal from time to time) or at the rate of three point two-five percent (3.25%) per annum. However, pursuant to the February 2011 amendment, the Company agreed with the Lender to adjust the rate of interest chargeable under the Loan and Security Agreement to be the greater of (a) 3.25% or (b) (i) 1.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the accounts receivable portion of the credit line and (ii) 3.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the unbilled accounts portion. In addition, DLH Solutions will pay certain other related fees and expense reimbursements including a monthly service charge of 0.65% based on the average daily loan balance which shall accrue daily and be due and payable on the last day of each month so long as the Loan Agreement is outstanding. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 5.2% and 5.5%, respectively. At March 31, 2012, based on current eligible accounts receivable, the amount of the unused availability under the line was $302,000. The amount outstanding as of March 31, 2012 was $1,595,000.  As discussed in Note 9 — Subsequent Events, subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Lender agreed to allow the Company to borrow up to $500,000 under the facility in excess of the eligible collateral, but subject to the maximum loan amount of $3,000,000. Any amounts advanced to the Company under this accommodation shall be repaid from either payments received by the Company pursuant to any resolution of the outstanding retroactive billings or the rights offering and in any event this arrangement will expire no later than June 30, 2012.

 

The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions. Among other matters, under the loan agreement we may not, without consent of the Lender, (i) merge or consolidate with another entity, form any new subsidiary or acquire any interest in a third party; (ii) acquire any assets except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer collateral; (v) make any loans to, or investments in, any affiliate or enter into any transaction with an affiliate other than on an arms-length basis; (vi) incur any debt outside the ordinary course of business; (vii) pay or declare any dividends or other distributions; or (viii) redeem, retire or purchase any of our equity interests exceeding $50,000. In addition, the Loan Agreement requires DLH Solutions to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,000,000 on a trailing 12-month basis. Further, without the consent of the Lender, the Company is also restricted from making any payments in respect of other outstanding indebtedness. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice after February 29, 2012, which date has subsequently been amended to December 31, 2012 and the Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default following which the Lender may, at its option, terminate the loan agreement and accelerate the repayment of any amount outstanding. The defined events of default include, among other things, a material adverse change in the Company’s circumstances, or if the Lender deems itself insecure in the ability of the Company to repay its obligations, or as to the sufficiency of the collateral.

 

As part of the February 2011 amendment, the Lender agreed to waive the Company’s non-compliance with the covenant under the Loan Agreement to furnish them with a copy of DLH Solutions’ financial statements within 90 days after the end of its fiscal year. In addition to granting this waiver, the Lender also agreed to modify this covenant to require that the Company provide them, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and, in addition, at the same time, furnish consolidating income statement and balance sheet schedules, including a reconciliation with DLH Solutions’ financial information.

 

The Company has concurrently executed a Corporate Guaranty Agreement with Lender pursuant to which it has guaranteed all of the obligations of DLH Solutions under the Loan Agreement.

 

Notes Payable

 

TeamStaff, Inc. and DLH Solutions entered into a settlement agreement dated as of July 22, 2011 (the “Agreement”) with Roger Staggs and E. Barry Durham, the former principals of RS Staffing Services, Inc. (together, the “Sellers”). The Sellers are the holders of certain promissory notes issued by TeamStaff, Inc. in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Notes”). The claims resolved by the Settlement Agreement concerned TeamStaff’s claim of indemnification of approximately $1,800,000 arising out of the acquisition by TeamStaff, Inc. of RS Staffing Services, Inc. in June 2005 and certain counterclaims by the Sellers against TeamStaff, including payment under the Notes. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid $200,000 in cash to the Sellers, and issued them an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc., valued at $795,000, the fair value of the stock at July 22, 2011. The Company also agreed to permit the Sellers to resell an aggregate of 201,724 other shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. which were held by them, and against which the Company had previously placed a stop order to prevent their resale. The Sellers agreed to orderly sale limitations with respect to their ability to resell all their shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. In accordance with these limits, during the 90 day period commencing on the effective date of the Agreement, neither Seller was permitted to resell in excess of 33,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock previously held by them during any 30 day period without the consent of TeamStaff. With respect to the new shares of TeamStaff common stock issued pursuant to the Agreement, commencing on the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement, neither will resell in excess of 25,000 shares during any 30 day period without the consent of TeamStaff. In addition, TeamStaff provided guarantees to the Sellers that the net proceeds to be received by them from the resale of all of the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. sold by them pursuant to the Agreement would not be less than certain minimum guarantees. With respect to the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. owned by them prior to the effective date of the Agreement (the “Old TeamStaff Shares”), TeamStaff guaranteed to each Seller net proceeds of $100,000, and with respect to the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. issued under the Agreement (the “New TeamStaff Shares”), TeamStaff guaranteed net proceeds of $375,000 to each. The guarantees in respect of the Old TeamStaff Shares were satisfied in full as of March 31, 2012.

 

The payments of all amounts under the Agreement are secured by the Notes. Upon receipt by the Sellers of: (i) the payment of $200,000 made by TeamStaff and (ii) the proceeds realized from the sale of the Old TeamStaff Shares and New TeamStaff Shares, or the guarantees, the Notes shall be deemed satisfied in full. In addition, the parties agreed to release each other from any further claims that either may have against the other, except to enforce the Agreement. At March 31, 2012, the maximum remaining contingent liability under the agreement could potentially reach $750,000.

 

The remaining liability under the Agreement does not accrue interest. The Company has evaluated the status of the Agreement, including the amount of consideration that is contingently owed to the Sellers, as well as the uncertainties inherent in predicting future market conditions and whether the Sellers are able to realize sufficient proceeds on sales of New TeamStaff Shares to satisfy the Company’s guarantee. Based on such analysis, the Company has concluded at March 31, 2012 that the $711,000 recorded obligation (which approximated the maximum amount of the guarantee) remaining after issuance of the 300,000 New TeamStaff Shares at a total fair value of $795,000 and the cash payment of $200,000 is reasonable. Although no assurances can be given, should the Sellers be able to individually realize proceeds through future sales of New TeamStaff Shares, the Company may reduce the recorded liability in future periods and recognize a gain. There was no gain recognized in the three months or six months ended March 31, 2012.

 

The Company did not recognize any expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation and settlement in the three months or six months ended March 31, 2012.
