LINES OF CREDIT AND OTHER BORROWINGS |
NOTE 8—LINES OF CREDIT AND OTHER BORROWINGS Lines of Credit On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into two revolving credit facility agreements with Comerica Bank (the “Credit Agreements”), as amended on August 6, 2012 (“Amendment No. 1”), which provide for borrowings against certain domestic accounts receivable and inventory, as set forth in the $4.0 million revolving credit facility agreement (the “Domestic Revolver”), and borrowings against certain export related accounts receivable and inventory, as set forth in the $4.0 million revolving credit facility agreement (the “Ex-Im Revolver”), for a combined aggregate commitment of borrowings up to $8.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding borrowings totaling approximately $2.2 million, including $600,000 under the Domestic Revolver and $1.6 million under the Ex-Im Revolver. All outstanding borrowings under the lines of credit and accrued interest are due and payable upon the maturity date of May 1, 2014.
There were no restricted cash balances as of September 30, 2012. The Company’s obligations are generally secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets now owned or hereinafter acquired. The Credit Agreements require the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants, as defined therein. If a default occurs, Comerica Bank may declare the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreements immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The interest rates on the outstanding principal balance of the credit facilities bear interest at annual percentage rates equal to the daily adjusting LIBOR rate, plus spreads of 5.25% for the Domestic Revolver and 4.25% for the Ex-Im Revolver. The daily adjusting LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 1.00% per annum. The Company is also required to pay an unused commitment fee of 0.25% based on a portion of the undrawn lines of credit, payable quarterly in arrears. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $98,000 and $133,000, respectively, of interest expense associated with the credit facilities, of which approximately $17,000 was payable at September 30, 2012. Included in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is $38,000 and $53,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and $18,000 and $25,000, respectively, of amortization of the discount on lines of credit. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred nil and $293,000, respectively, of interest expense associated with the Loan and Security Agreement with MidCap Funding III, LLC and Silicon Valley Bank, which was repaid on February 8, 2011. Pursuant to the Credit Agreements, the Company paid both the first and second annual $120,000 commitment fees, each being one and one-half percent of the aggregate $8.0 million commitment, totaling $240,000. The commitment fees and the legal costs associated with acquiring the credit facilities were capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreements. As additional consideration for the lines of credit, the Company also issued warrants to Comerica Bank (the “Comerica Warrants”) to purchase up to 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.83 per share. The Comerica Warrants vest in four equal quarterly tranches beginning on May 24, 2012 and are exercisable once vested. The Comerica Warrants may be exercised with a cash payment from Comerica Bank, or, in lieu of a cash payment, Comerica Bank may convert the warrants into a number of shares, in whole or in part. These warrants will expire if unused on May 24, 2017. The fair value of the Comerica Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 5.00 years; volatility of 99.55%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 0.77%; and resulted in an estimated fair value of $135,000 which was recorded as equity and resulted in a discount to the credit facilities at issuance. The discount is being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreements. In connection with Amendment No. 1, the Company reduced the exercise price of the Comerica Warrants from $2.83 to $2.00 per share. The fair value of the re-priced Comerica Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 4.80 years; volatility of 100.37%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 0.65%. The modification to the Comerica Warrants resulted in an incremental expense of $7,000 which was added to the discount and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the Credit Agreements. Other Borrowings In December 2011, the Company financed approximately $433,000 of insurance premiums payable in nine equal monthly installments of approximately $48,000 each, including a finance charge of 2.50%. As of September 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under this arrangement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company incurred nil and $4,000, respectively, of interest expense associated with the financed insurance premiums, of which no amounts remained payable at September 30, 2012. |
