FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
In connection with the acquisition of CRI and the CRI Facility discussed in Note 8, on August 9, 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement with its current bank (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to provide for a new ten-year term loan in the amount of $4,033,000, with monthly principal payments customized to account for the 20 year amortization of the real estate assets and five year amortization of the equipment assets purchased. The real estate portion of the loan of $3,485,000 represents 85 percent of the appraised value of the real estate and the equipment portion of the loan of $548,250 represents 75 percent of the purchase price of the equipment assets. Therefore, the total monthly principal payment is $23,659 during the first 60 months of the loan and will reduce to $14,521 for the remainder of the loan, plus accrued interest with the balance due at maturity. Interest is calculated using the One Month LIBOR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus two percent.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pledge all of the acquired assets of CRI and the CRI Facility. This agreement also modified the definition of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and the maximum amount of capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to exclude assets acquired with the acquisition of CRI and the CRI Facility. On January 2, 2014, the Amended Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date of the line of credit by one additional year to August 21, 2016. This amendment also modified certain financial covenants in the agreement including the Minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and the maximum amount of capital expenditures (as defined tin the the Amended Credit Agreement). No other provisions of the agreement were modified.
In conjunction with the new term loan, to mitigate the variability of the interest rate risk, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract on September 3, 2013 with its current bank (the “interest rate swap”). The interest rate swap is for an initial notional amount of $4,033,250 with a fixed interest rate of 4.83 percent and runs for ten years to August 19, 2023, which equates to the date of the term loan. The notional amount of the interest rate swap decreases as monthly principal payments are made. Although the swap is expected to effectively offset variable interest in the borrowing, hedge accounting will not be utilized. Therefore, changes in its fair value are being recorded in long-term assets or liabilities, as appropriate, with corresponding offsetting entries to other income (expense).
