DEBT [Abstract]
DEBT	(7) DEBT: *(a) Re-Financing of Corporate Offices* During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we re-financed the mortgage loan encumbering our corporate offices located at 5059 N.E. 18^th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334, which mortgage loan was and continues to be extended and held by an unaffiliated third party lender. The refinanced mortgage loan is in the original principal amount of $840,000 and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.65% per annum. The mortgage loan is amortizable over a fifteen (15) year period, with our current monthly payment of principal and interest totaling $6,519. The entire principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest are due on December 28, 2031. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we terminated the interest rate swap agreement we entered into July, 2010 which related to the prior mortgage loan encumbering our corporate offices located at 5059 N.E. 18^th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334. The interest rate swap agreement required us to pay interest for a seven (7) year period at a fixed rate of 5.11% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $935,000, while receiving interest for the same period at LIBOR, Daily Floating Rate, plus 2.25%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We paid an $8,500 pre-payment penalty to the lender in connection with the termination of the interest rate swap agreement. *(b) Financing of Office and Warehouse Space* During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we borrowed the sum of $822,500 from an unaffiliated third party lender (the “$822,500 Loan”). The proceeds of the $822,500 Loan will be used for working capital. Our repayment obligations under the $822,500 Loan are secured by a first mortgage on our office located at 1290 East Commercial Boulevard, Oakland Park, Florida 33334 and our warehouse located at 4990 N.E. 12^th Avenue, Oakland Park, Florida 33334. The $822,500 Loan bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.65% per annum and is amortizable over a fifteen (15) year period, with our current monthly payment of principal and interest totaling $6,384. The entire principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest are due on December 28, 2031. *(c) Revolving Credit Line/Term Loan* During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we closed on a secured revolving line of credit from an unaffiliated third party lender which, subject to certain conditions, entitles us to borrow, from time to time through December 28, 2017, up to $5,500,000 (the “Credit Line”). From December 28, 2016 through December 28, 2017, we are obligated to pay interest only on the outstanding balance under the Credit Line, at a rate of LIBOR, Daily Floating Rate, plus 2.25%, per annum (3.472% as of August 15, 2017). During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk when the unpaid principal balance under the Credit Line converts to a term loan on December 28, 2017 and our repayment obligations thereunder become amortizable over a five year period, payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest at the rate of 4.65% per annum, with any outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest due on December 28, 2022. We granted our lender a first priority security interest in substantially all of our personal property assets to secure our repayment obligations under this loan. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we borrowed $2.0 million on the Credit Line and used such borrowed amounts to purchase the Property (See Note 4). During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we did not draw upon the Credit Line, but paid interest amounts on the outstanding principal balance. As of August 15, 2017, we have $3.5 million of credit available under the Credit Line. *(d) Financed Insurance Premiums* During the thirty nine weeks ended July 1, 2017, we financed the following three (3) property and general liability insurance policies, totaling approximately $1.21 million, which property and general liability insurance includes coverage for our franchises which are not included in our consolidated financial statements: (i) For the policy year beginning December 30, 2016, our general liability insurance, excluding limited partnerships, is a one (1) year policy with our insurance carriers, including automobile and excess liability coverage. The one (1) year general liability insurance premiums, including automobile and excess liability coverage, total, in the aggregate $513,000, of which $409,000 is financed through an unaffiliated third party lender (the “Third Party Lender”). The finance agreement obligates us to repay the amounts financed together with interest at the rate of 2.95% per annum, over 10 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $42,000. The finance agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments thereof. (ii) For the policy year beginning December 30, 2016, our general liability insurance for our limited partnerships is a one (1) year policy with our insurance carriers, including excess liability coverage. The one (1) year general liability insurance premiums, including excess liability coverage, total, in the aggregate $498,000, of which $398,000 is financed through the Third Party Lender. The finance agreement obligates us to repay the amounts financed, together with interest at the rate of 2.95% per annum, over 10 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $40,000. The finance agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments thereof. (iii) For the policy year beginning December 30, 2016, our property insurance is a one (1) year policy. The one (1) year property insurance premium is in the amount of $504,000, of which $404,000 is financed through the Third Party Lender. The finance agreement provides that we are obligated to repay the amounts financed, together with interest at the rate of 2.95% per annum, over 10 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of approximately $41,000. The finance agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments thereof. As of July 1, 2017, the aggregate principal balance owed from the financing of our property and general liability insurance policies is $480,000.
