NOTE 6
Notes Payable and Lines of Credit
In September 2000, the Company executed a Secured Term Note facility with a
lending institution for a total available amount of $10.0 million. A total of
$4.0 million was borrowed under a Secured Term Note. The Company subsequently
paid the outstanding balance on its existing line of credit of $2.7 million from
borrowings under the Secured Term Note. The Secured Term Note was due and repaid
by the Company in October 2000, after the acquisition of Erisco was consummated.
In September 2000, the Company also entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement and Revolving Credit Note with the same lender, providing for a
revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $15.0 million. The
revolving credit facility became effective upon repayment of any outstanding
balance on the Secured Term Note. In October and December 2000, the Loan and
Security Agreement and Revolving Credit Note were amended to include Erisco and
RIMS, respectively, as additional borrowers. The revolving credit facility is
secured by all of the Company's receivables and expires in September 2002.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are limited to and shall not
exceed 80% of qualified accounts as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement.
Interest on the revolving credit facility is prime plus 1.5%. In addition, there
is a monthly 0.0333% usage fee and a monthly 0.083% loan management fee.
Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of the month.
The revolving credit facility contains certain covenants that the Company must
adhere to during the term of the agreement, including a tangible net worth, as
defined, of at least $12.0 million and the generation of a minimum monthly net
earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization and minimum cash
balances, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement. As of December 31,
2000, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit of
$11.4 million.
In December 1999, the Company entered into a lease line of credit with a
financial institution. This lease line of credit was specifically established to
finance computer equipment purchases. The lease line of credit has a limit of
$2.0 million and expired as scheduled in December 2000. Borrowings under the
lease line of credit at December 31, 2000 totaled approximately $1.5 million and
are collateralized by the assets under lease. In accordance with the terms of
the lease line of credit, the outstanding balance is being repaid in monthly
installments of principal and interest through June 2003.
In January 1999, the Company entered into a financing agreement for
$675,000 in order to acquire a software license. The non-interest bearing note
(imputed interest rate of 7.80%) is due in sixty equal monthly installments.
Borrowings under the financing agreement are collateralized by the
software that the Company purchased with the note proceeds. At December 31,
2000, there was approximately $369,000 principal balance remaining on the note.
In connection with the acquisition of Creative Business Solutions, Inc. and
HealthWeb Systems, Ltd. in February 1999 (Note 12), the Company issued notes of
$270,000. The notes bear interest at 8.00% per annum and the interest is payable
annually in arrears. Fifty percent of the principal balance is payable on the
first anniversary and fifty percent is payable on the second anniversary of the
issue date. At December 31, 2000, there was $135,000 principal balance remaining
on the notes.
In May 1999, the Company entered into a financing agreement for
approximately $1.1 million. The amount is due in twelve equal monthly
installments and bears interest at 10% per annum. Borrowings under the financing
agreement are collateralized by the license that the Company purchased from the
lender. At December 31, 1999, there was $386,000 principal balance remaining on
the note. The debt was paid in full in April 2000.
In March 1999, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit
agreement with a financial institution. In October 1999, the Company entered
into a subsequent agreement which increased the amount available under the line
of credit. The line of credit has a total capacity of $3.0 million and expires
in December 2001. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at prime
plus 0.50% and are collateralized by corresponding cash balances on deposit
classified as restricted cash on balance sheet. Interest is payable monthly as
it accrues. The line of credit agreement contains covenants that the Company
must adhere to during the term of the agreement including restrictions on the
payment of dividends. As of December 31, 2000, there were no outstanding
borrowings on the line of credit. The Company has outstanding seven standby
letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $1.5 million which serve as
security deposits for the Company's capital leases. The Company is required to
maintain a cash balance equal to the outstanding letters of credit, which is
classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet.
