NOTE 9:                 LONG-TERM DEBT

On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. (“HSBC”), secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, to replace its $5.0 million revolving credit agreement and $2.1 million of existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A., which was previously secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property. This new agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a $2.1 million five (5) year term loan. The revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow on a revolving basis until August 5, 2014. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrues at either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate  (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75% or (ii) HSBC’s prime rate minus 0.50%. Interest on the unpaid principal balance for the term loan, used to pay off the previous mortgages, accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings under this term loan were additionally collateralized by $1 million of restricted cash deposits, provided that, so long as no event of default occurred and continues, HSBC will release $200,000 of the collateral on each anniversary of the closing date. On August 5, 2012, HSBC released $200,000 of the collateral thereby reducing the restricted cash to $800,000. This restricted cash is reported on a separate line item on the balance sheet. The credit agreement also contains certain financial covenants with which the Company was in compliance at September 30, 2012.

Effective as of March 15, 2012, we closed on the purchase of a 120,000 square foot facility located at 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York (the “Central Islip facility”) through the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency (Note 8). The purchase price for the Property was $7,200,000 exclusive of closing costs. Pursuant to the terms of an Accommodation Agreement, we entered into a loan agreement with HSBC Bank, in the amount of $6,000,000 (the “Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the purchase price on the Central Islip facility. The Loan is secured by the mortgage against the Central Islip facility. Interest presently accrues on the Loan, at our option, at the variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. This rate was 1.97375% on September 30, 2012. The loan matures on March 15, 2022.
