In 2010 we had additions to property and equipment of $107,423 as well as $47,500 of contingent consideration payments in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to $128,070 and $72,644, respectively, paid in the first quarter of 2009.
In March 2008 the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding common stock of PDI for cash to KOR Electronics. This transaction resulted in a cash payment of $8.7 million with a holdback amount of $875,000 that was paid to the Company on March 17, 2009. With the proceeds from this transaction, the Company repaid in full promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 owing to Bruno Guazzoni (described below) and approximately $5,000,000 of short term debt.
On January 22, 2009, the Company and ZCS entered into a Fifth Amendment and Modification to Loan and Security Agreement and Other Loan Documents with Bank of America, N.A., as successor-by-merger to LaSalle. The amendment increased the maximum revolving loan limit to $6 million from $5 million and modified the fixed charge coverage ratio test required by the loan agreement. As amended, the loan agreement requires the borrowers to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for the twelve month period ended on December 31, 2008 and each twelve month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the loan agreement also waived the EBITDA covenant for the November 2008 calendar month and terminates the EBITDA covenant as of the date of the amendment. Further, the amendment raised the face amount of the borrowers eligible accounts receivable from 60% to 80%. At March 31, 2010, the outstanding loan balance was $3,550,982 with available borrowings of $954,986 . The credit facility matures on June 21, 2010.
