NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 


 

1.     INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The condensed financial statements of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by the SEC. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

 

The Company maintains its cash in two financial institutions.  The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  From time to time, the Company’s balances may exceed these limits.  As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $639,000 of uninsured balances.  The Company limits its credit risk by selecting financial institutions considered to be highly creditworthy.

The Company predominantly recognizes revenue from contracts over the contractual period under the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) method of accounting. Under the POC method of accounting, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as an asset captioned “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded as a liability captioned “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.” Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed monthly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in cost of sales in the period the change becomes known. The use of the POC method of accounting involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash received during any reporting period. The Company continually evaluates all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC method of accounting; however, it cannot be assured that estimates will be accurate. If estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, the Company is required to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if estimates are accurate, there may be a shortfall in cash flow and the Company may need to borrow money, or seek access to other forms of liquidity, to fund its work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.

 

When adjustments are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.

 

Because of the change in estimate on the Company’s A-10 program recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 the Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014. The A-10 program, along with all the Company’s programs, is evaluated on an ongoing basis. If facts and circumstances change, previously recognized estimates may be adjusted in the future and such adjustments may be material. This net loss, after adjustment for carrying back tax losses to recover previously paid taxes of approximately $8,400,000, results in a net operating loss carry forward at March 31, 2015 of approximately $5,900,000 which will expire in 2029. The Company’s 2014 tax return, along with its claim to recover the aforementioned previously paid taxes, were filed with the IRS in April of 2015.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

 

In April 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, and proposed some modifications to the original provisions. These proposals are pending.

2.     stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for compensation expense associated with stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based on the fair value of the options and units on the date of grant.

 

The Company’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes approximately $273,000 and $103,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to the Company’s stock compensation grants. On January 1, 2015, the Company granted 51,349 RSUs to its board of directors as partial compensation for the 2015 year. RSU’s vest straight line on a quarterly basis over a one year period. On January 1, 2014, the Company granted 36,292 options to its board of directors as partial compensation for the 2014 year. The non-cash compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

  

The estimated fair value of each option award granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The estimated fair value of each RSU granted was determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Outstanding and vested at end of period

    294,983     $ 11.53       2.32     $ 520,578  

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, 10,000 stock options were exercised for cash resulting in proceeds to the Company of $80,000. During the same period 45,000 options were exercised, pursuant to provisions of the stock option plan, where the Company received no cash and 29,648 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 45,000 shares issued in the exercise. The 29,648 shares that the Company received were valued at $362,012, the fair market value of the shares on the dates of exercise.

 

The intrinsic value of all options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $230,500 and $413,450, respectively.

 

3.     Derivative Instruments and Fair Value

 

Our use of derivative instruments has been to hedge interest rates. These derivative contracts are entered into with a financial institution. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 


 

We record these derivative financial instruments on the condensed balance sheets at fair value. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

 

Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument for a cash flow hedge is recorded in the results of operations immediately. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations immediately.

 

In March 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our exposure to cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations associated with certain debt. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying debt. The Company has designated these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The Company measures ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the forward contact with the cumulative change in the hedged item. No material ineffectiveness was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had a net deferred loss associated with cash flow hedges of approximately $13,700 and $14,700, respectively, due to the interest rate swap which has been included in Other Liabilities.

 

As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties may fail to meet their contractual obligations. Adverse developments in the global financial and credit markets could negatively impact the creditworthiness of our counterparties and cause one or more of our counterparties to fail to perform as expected. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was determined by comparing the fixed rate set at the inception of the transaction to the “replacement swap rate,” which represents the market rate for an offsetting interest rate swap with the same notional amounts and final maturity date. The market value is then determined by calculating the present value of the interest differential between the contractual swap and the replacement swap.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $13,709 and $14,716, respectively, was included in Other Liabilities related to the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, and $8,709 and $9,716, respectively, net of tax of $5,000 at each date, was included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


 

Revisions in the estimated gross profits on contracts and contract amounts are made in the period in which the circumstances requiring the revisions occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the effect of such revisions in total estimated contract profits resulted in a decrease to the total gross profit to be earned on the contracts of approximately $1,477,000, from that which would have been reported had the revised estimates been used as the basis of recognition of contract profits in prior years. The effect of such revisions in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was immaterial.

 

Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete uncompleted open contracts, it is possible that additional significant costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.

income PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock, as well as unvested RSUs. Incremental shares of 169,916 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Incremental shares of 125,067 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive. Incremental shares of 316,919 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Incremental shares of 116,292 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.

Line of credit

 

On December 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Restated Agreement”) with Sovereign Bank, now called Santander Bank, N.A. (“Santander”), as the sole arranger, administrative agent and collateral agent and Valley National Bank. The Restated Agreement provides for a revolving credit loan (“Santander Revolving Facility”) commitment of $35 million.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the Restated Agreement, as amended. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $29.15 million outstanding under the “Restated Agreement” bearing interest at 3.25%.

 

The Santander Revolving Facility and term loan under the Restated Agreement are secured by all our assets.

    LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On March 9, 2012, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan from Santander to be amortized over five years (the “Santander Term Facility”). Santander Term Facility was used to purchase tooling and equipment for new programs. Santander Term Facility bears interest at the lower of LIBOR plus 3% or Santander Bank’s prime rate.

 

Additionally, the Company and Santander Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $4.5 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Santander Bank representing interest on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 4.11% and receives an amount from Santander Bank representing interest on the notional amount of a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3%. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest fixed rate of 4.11% over the term of the Santander Term Facility.

 

 The maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

 

Twelve months ending March 31,

       

2016

  $ 1,001,080  

2017

    969,858

    MAJOR CUSTOMERS

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s three largest commercial customers accounted for 21%, 19% and 15% of revenue, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s three largest commercial customers accounted for 28%, 24% and 17% of revenue, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 0.6% and 1%, respectively, of revenue was directly from the U.S. Government.

 

At March 31, 2015, 26%, 23%, 13% and 10% of Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts were from the Company’s four largest commercial customers. At December 31, 2014, 27%, 25%, 13% and 8% of Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts were from the Company’s four largest commercial customers.

 

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, less than 1% of Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts were directly from the U.S. Government.

 

At March 31, 2015, 27%, 22% and 14% of our accounts receivable were from our three largest commercial customers. At December 31, 2014, 26%, 21% and 15% of accounts receivable were from our three largest commercial customers.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in this report.

  

Forward Looking Statements

  

When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “management expects” or “we expect,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The risks are included in Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

 

Business Operations

 

We are a manufacturer of structural aircraft parts for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in both the commercial and defense markets. Within the global aerostructure supply chain, we are either a Tier 1 supplier to aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) or a Tier 2 subcontractor to major Tier 1 manufactures. We also are a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense, primarily the Air Force. In conjunction with our assembly operations, we provide engineering, program management, supply chain management, and Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (“MRO”) services.

 

Marketing and New Business

 

From the beginning of the current fiscal year through March 31, 2015, we received approximately $16.2 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $5.6 million of government prime contract awards, $1.9 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $8.7 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $4.7 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


  

 

Backlog

 

We produce custom assemblies pursuant to long-term contracts and customer purchase orders. Backlog consists of aggregate values under such contracts and purchase orders, excluding the portion previously included in operating revenues on the basis of percentage of completion accounting, and including estimates of future contract price escalation. Substantially all of our backlog is subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without significant penalty. Funds are often appropriated for programs or contracts on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. Therefore, our funded backlog does not include the full value of our contracts. Our total backlog as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Total

  $ 442,638,000     $ 403,648,000  

 

Approximately 68% of the total amount of our backlog at March 31, 2015 was attributable to government contracts. Our backlog attributable to government contracts at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Total

  $ 142,384,000     $ 148,880,000  

 

Our unfunded backlog is primarily comprised of the long-term contracts for the G650, E-2D, HondaJet Light Business Jet, Bell AH-1Z Cessna Citation X+, Sikorsky S-92 and Embraer Phenom 300. These long-term contracts are expected to have yearly orders which will be funded in the future.

 

The low level of funded backlog on commercial programs is the result of us performing work under long term agreements where specific purchase orders have not been placed. We are protected by termination liability provision of such long term agreements.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue from our contracts over the contractual period under the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) method of accounting. Under the POC method of accounting, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as an asset captioned “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded as a liability captioned “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.” Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed monthly and the effect of any change in the estimated gross margin percentage for a contract is reflected in cost of sales in the period the change becomes known. The use of the POC method of accounting involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. As a result, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash received by us during any reporting period. We continually evaluate all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC method of accounting; however, we cannot assure you that our estimates will be accurate. If our estimates are not accurate or a contract is terminated, we will be forced to adjust revenue in later periods. Furthermore, even if our estimates are accurate, we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and we may need to borrow money, or seek access to other forms of liquidity, to fund our work in process or to pay taxes until the reported earnings materialize as actual cash receipts.

 

When adjustments are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized with an inception-to-date effect in the current period. Also, when estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined. For the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, the Company adjusted the estimated total revenue and recorded a loss on its Wing Replacement Program (“WRP”) for the U.S. Air Force’s A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft (“A-10”). In periods subsequent to June 30, 2014, the gross margin recognized on the A-10 program is zero because the entire estimated loss on the program was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The A-10 program, along with all the Company’s programs, is evaluated on an ongoing basis. If facts and circumstances change, previously recognized estimates may be adjusted in the future and such adjustments may be material.

Item2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

 


 Results of Operations

 

Revenue 

 

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $19,876,566 compared to $21,883,517 for the same period last year.

 

We predominately generate revenue from subcontracts with OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers. Revenue generated from government subcontracts for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $10,535,187 compared to $14,189,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was the result of decreases in the Company’s E-2D program with Northrop Grumman, as work on the new E-2D multi-year award has not yet reached peak rate.

 

Revenue from commercial subcontracts was $9,223,262 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $7,245,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1,977,344 or 27.3%. This increase is the result of increased production on our Embraer and Honda programs.

 

Inflation historically has not had a material effect on our operations.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $3,602,071 compared to $4,491,132 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $889,061. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 18.1% compared to 20.5% for the same period last year.

 

The decrease in gross margin is a result of the change in estimate on the Company’s A-10 program made in the second quarter of 2014. As a result of the change in estimate, the Company is recording revenue on the A-10 with no gross margin in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as compared to a positive margin of 18.6% in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Gross margin on all programs excluding the A-10 was 23.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 21.1% in the same period in 2014. This increase is the result of higher gross margin on certain of the Company’s commercial programs as production rates have increased.

Item2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

 


 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $2,019,365 compared to $1,838,660 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $180,705, or 9.83%. This increase was predominately the result of an $186,967 increase in costs relating to the grant of RSUs that were expensed for our board of directors, including having one more director in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Income Before Provision for Income Taxes

 

Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1,368,120 compared to $2,508,869 for the same period last year, a decrease of $1,140,749.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $440,000 and was $780,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate at March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 32% and 31%, respectively. We estimate taxes at below the federal statutory rate because of the effect of permanent differences between book and tax deductions, predominately the domestic production activity deduction.

Item2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

 


Net Income

 

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $928,120 or $0.11 per basic share, compared to $1,728,869, or $0.21 per basic share, for the same period last year. Diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.11, calculated utilizing 8,594,479 average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.20, calculated utilizing 8,534,856 average shares outstanding.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

At March 31, 2015, we had working capital of $62,402,593 compared to $60,864,642 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $1,537,951, or 2.5%.

 

Cash Flow

 

A large portion of our cash is used to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress payments. Costs for which we are not able to bill on a progress basis are components of “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” on our condensed balance sheets and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with contract terms.

 

Because the POC method of accounting requires us to use estimates in determining revenue, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period. Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money, or to raise additional capital, until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.

 

At March 31, 2015, we had a cash balance of $838,374 compared to $1,504,907 at December 31, 2014.

 

Our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings increased by approximately $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Several of our programs require us to expend up-front costs that may have to be amortized over a portion of production units.  In the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, we could be required to bear impairment charges which may be material, for costs that are not recoverable.  Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material impact on our liquidity.

 

We continue to work to obtain better payment terms with our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternative funding sources.

Credit Facilities

 

Line of Credit

 

On December 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Santander Bank (“Restated Agreement”) as the sole arranger, administrative agent, collateral agent and lender and Valley National Bank as lender. The Restated Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $35 million (“Santander Revolving Facility.”) The revolving credit loans under the Restated Agreement mature on December 5, 2016. The Santander Revolving Facility and term loan under the Restated Agreement are secured by all of our assets.

  

As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants, as amended, contained in the Restated Agreement. The Company has $29.15 million outstanding under the Santander Revolving Facility.

 

Term Loan

 

On March 9, 2012, the Company obtained a $4.5 million term loan from Santander Bank to be amortized over five years (the “Santander Term Facility”). The Santander Term Facility was to be used by the Company to purchase tooling and equipment for new programs. The Santander Term Loan was continued under the Restated Agreement, and is payable in monthly installments of $75,000, with a final payment of the remaining principal balance on March 9, 2017. The Santander Term Facility bears interest at the lower of LIBOR plus 3% or Santander Bank’s prime rate. The Santander Term Loan is subject to the amended and restated terms and conditions of the Restated Agreement.

 

In connection with the Santander Term Loan, the Company and Santander Bank entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement, in the notional amount of $4.5 million. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays an amount to Santander Bank representing interest on the notional amount at a rate of 4.11% and receives an amount from Santander representing interest on the notional amount at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3%. The effect of this interest rate swap will be the Company paying a fixed interest rate of 4.11% over the term of the Santander Term Loan.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

The Company’s management has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information it is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 

Based on an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015 made by management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2015.
