| Credit Agreements | Note 4. Credit Agreements
On November 10, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Crestpark LP, Inc. (“Crestpark”) and in connection with the Loan Agreement executed two separate promissory notes. The first note for $750,000 for working capital via a Revolving Credit Commitment and the second note for $1,750,000 for equipment financing via an Equipment Term Loan. The Loan Agreement was subsequently amended during 2011 and ultimately terminated on December 29, 2011.
Revolving Credit Commitment - The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Commitment of $1,468,788 were to be used for working capital needs and were anticipated to be repaid from cash flow generated by the operations of the Company. The Revolving Credit Commitment had a term ending on January 1, 2015, was unsecured and bore interest at a fixed non-compounded rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. The Company was also required to pay Crestpark an unused fee of 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment.
On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with Crestpark pursuant to which Crestpark converted the balance outstanding on the Revolving Credit Commitment of $1,217,086 into 110,717 shares of the Company’s Series D 8% Cumulative, Compounding Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). Accordingly, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Commitment and $250,902 available, compared with $642,886 outstanding and $825,902 available as of December 31, 2010. Interest expense to Crestpark in 2011 and 2010 was $34,432 and $60,181, respectively.
On July 22, 2011, the Revolving Credit Commitment was terminated and replaced with a short-term note payable to Crestpark in the amount of $250,000 which was available to the Company to draw upon and matured September 20, 2011. On September 14, 2011, the maturity date on the short-term note payable was extended to October 20, 2011. On October 19, 2011, the maturity date on the short-term note payable was extended to November 20, 2011. On November 21, 2011, the maturity date on the short-term note payable was extended to December 20, 2011. On December 29, 2011, the short-term note payable was terminated along with the Loan Agreement.
Equipment Term Loan - The proceeds of the $1,750,000 Equipment Term Loan were to be used to purchase GPS-based offender tracking and monitoring equipment that is leased or sold by the Company to its clients. It is anticipated that borrowings under the Equipment Term Loan will be repaid from permanent equipment financing secured by the Company from time to time. At Crestpark’s discretion, any borrowings under the Equipment Term Loan that remain outstanding more than 30 days can be converted into separate 36 Month Notes, which are notes payable over 36 month terms. The Equipment Term Loan had a term ending January 1, 2012, bears interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum and was secured by the monitoring equipment purchased with the proceeds of the Equipment Term Loan. The Company is also required to pay Crestpark an unused fee of 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Equipment Term Loan. Interest expense to Crestpark in 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $95,039 respectively. The outstanding principal balance on the Equipment Term Loan of $818,000 was capitalized into the new note payable under the Credit and Security Agreement, as amended December 31, 2010 and the Equipment Term Loan was terminated.
Line of Credit - On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Access Bank of Omaha, Nebraska (the “Bank”) pursuant to which the Bank has made available to the Company an asset-based revolving line of credit of up to $750,000 through December 31, 2012 (the “Line of Credit”). Borrowings under the Line of Credit are evidenced by a Promissory Note of the Company, dated December 29, 2011 (the “Note”), and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a Commercial Security Agreement by and between the Company and the Bank, dated December 29, 2011 (the “Security Agreement”). Borrowings against the Line of Credit will be used, if needed, to meet the Company’s working capital needs from time to time and will be limited to a borrowing base equal to 75% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. Interest expense to Access Bank in 2011 was $0. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $750,000 available under the Line of Credit. The Company has not borrowed any funds under the Line of Credit.
Outstanding borrowings against the Line of Credit will bear interest at a variable rate equal to 2.5% over an index rate representing the prime rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the nation’s largest banks. Accordingly, on December 31, 2011 the interest rate on the Line of Credit would have been 5.75% The Company is also required to pay the Bank a quarterly non-use fee of 0.50% per annum on the average annual funds available under the Line of Credit, but will be waived by the Bank for any quarter during which the average borrowings exceed 60% of the funds available. As a condition to entering the Loan Agreement, the Bank has required Crestpark LP, Inc. (“Crestpark”) to enter into an Intercreditor agreement with the Bank under which Crestpark has agreed to subordinate its security interest in the assets of the Company that collateralizes the $2,000,000 long-term loan made by Crestpark to the Company which is due January 1, 2015.
