- Interest Rate: Prime plus 1.5%.

Material Changes and Covenants
The sixth amendment adjusted the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $1,680,000 commencing with the month ending March 31, 2013. Starting April 30, 2013, this requirement increases by 50% of net income and 50% of gross proceeds from equity issuances or subordinated debt incurred during the quarter. Proceeds up to $1,560,000 from equity issuance during the quarter ending March 31, 2013, are excluded from this calculation. Compliance with this net worth minimum is mandatory to draw on the line of credit or maintain outstanding credit extensions.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide specific forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, or a discussion of general risks beyond the contractual obligations of the amended loan agreement. The primary contingency noted is the requirement to maintain the specified tangible net worth to access credit facilities.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's current tangible net worth against the $1,680,000 minimum threshold.
- Confirm the current borrowing base calculation (eligible receivables and inventory) to assess actual liquidity availability.
- Review the full text of the Sixth Amendment (Exhibit 10.1) for additional covenants or default provisions.
- Monitor the company's ability to meet the increasing net worth requirements tied to net income and equity proceeds.
