Note payable Prior to obtaining the new credit facility described below, we had a term loan from Regions Bank (“Regions”), which was secured by mortgages on our facilities in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana. Prior to termination in January 2014, we had a $3,000 line of credit with EGC. The EGC line of credit was subject to availability limitations. On November 9, 2012, we executed a sixth amendment with Regions which we further modified on December 21, 2012. In the sixth amendment, Regions agreed to extend the term loan and mortgage loan maturity dates to October 31, 2013. The unpaid principal on the notes was incorporated into a replacement note payable for $5,786 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 400 basis points (minimum of 6.0%) with monthly principal payments of approximately $47 plus interest. The replacement note payable was secured by real estate at our West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana locations. The replacement note payable had a balance of $5,254 at September 30, 2013. On October 31, 2013, we executed a seventh amendment with Regions to extend the note payable maturity date to October 31, 2014. Regions required us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 and a total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio of not greater than 2.10 to 1.00. Failure to comply with those covenants would have been a default under the Regions loans, requiring us to negotiate with Regions regarding loan modifications or waivers. If we were unable to obtain such modifications or waivers, Regions could have accelerated the maturity of the loans and caused a cross default with our other lender. The Regions loan agreements contained cross-default provisions with each other and formerly with the revolving line of credit with EGC described below that was terminated in January 2014. Revolving Line of Credit On January 31, 2014, we paid off the remaining balance on our $3,000 revolving line of credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with EGC. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the line of credit would have automatically renewed on January 31, 2014 unless either party gave a 60-day notice of intent to terminate or withdraw. On October 30, 2013, we informed EGC of our intent not to renew the line of credit on January 31, 2014 and the line of credit terminated on that date. During the first four months of fiscal 2014, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bore interest at an annual rate equal to Citibank's Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) with minimum monthly interest of $15. Interest was paid monthly. The line of credit also carried an annual facilities fee of 2% and a 0.2% collateral monitoring fee. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were secured by a blanket lien on our personal property, including certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and intellectual property assets, a second mortgage on our West Lafayette and Evansville real estate and all common stock of our U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the common stock of our non-United States subsidiary. Borrowings were calculated based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable. Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company had agreed to restrict advances to subsidiaries, limit additional indebtedness and capital expenditures and maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $8,000. The Credit Agreement also contained cross-default provisions with the Regions loan and any future EGC loans. At September 30, 2013, we had $1,415 outstanding on this line. New Credit Facility On May 14, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) with Huntington Bank. The Agreement includes both a term loan and a revolving loan and is secured by mortgages on our facilities in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana and liens on our personal property. The term loan for $5,500 bears interest at LIBOR plus 325 basis points with monthly principal payments of approximately $65 plus interest. The term loan matures in May 2019. On May 15, 2014, we used the proceeds from the term loan to pay off the Regions replacement note payable. The balance on the term loan at September 30, 2014 was $5,238. The revolving loan for $2,000 matures in May 2016 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points with interest paid monthly. The revolving loan also carries a facility fee of .25%, paid quarterly, for the unused portion of the revolving loan. The revolving loan includes an annual clean-up provision that requires the Company to maintain a balance of not more than 20% of the maximum loan of $2,000 for a period of 30 days in any 12 month period while the revolving loan is outstanding. The revolving loan balance was $202 at September 30, 2014. The Agreement requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00 and a maximum total leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 from the date of the Agreement through September 30, 2015 and 2.50 to 1.00 commencing after October 1, 2015 until maturity. The Agreement also contains various other covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, asset sales and cash dividends. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement with respect to the above loans to fix the interest rate with respect to 60% of the value of the term loan at approximately 5.0%. We entered into this derivative transaction to hedge interest rate risk of the related debt obligation and not to speculate on interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) to the extent effective. We assess on an ongoing basis whether the derivative that is used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged debt. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt resulting in no ineffectiveness. We incurred $134 of costs in connection with the issuance of the credit facility. These costs were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over five years based on the contractual term of the credit facility. As of September 30, 2014, the unamortized portion of debt issuance costs related to the credit facility was $122, and was included in Debt issue costs, net on the consolidated balance sheets. We incurred $60 of costs in connection with the seventh amendment with Regions. These costs and $21 of unamortized costs at September 30, 2013 were expensed during the year ended September 30, 2014.
