NOTE 4 – Line of Credit



On August 1, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as amended, the Loan Agreement) with Midland States Bank to extend the term of the Company’s revolving line of credit to August 1, 2016.  The credit facility consisted of a single revolving note for up to $2 million with Midland States Bank, with borrowings limited to a borrowing base determined based on 70 percent to 80 percent of eligible accounts receivable plus 50 percent of eligible inventory.  Significant restrictive covenants in the Loan Agreement included prohibitions on any merger, consolidation or sale of all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, and limits on the payment of dividends or the repurchase of shares.  The Loan Agreement did not contain any financial covenants that required compliance with ratios or amounts.  Dividends and share repurchases were permitted as long as after giving effect to the dividend or share repurchase the Company had a ratio of total liabilities to total stockholders’ equity of no more than 1:1.  Borrowings on the revolving note were to bear interest at the national prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal (3.25 percent at September 30, 2015).  The note was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  No amounts were outstanding under the revolving note at September 30, 2015.



On December 29, 2015, the Company and Midland States Bank terminated the Loan Agreement.  There was no penalty related to the early termination of the Loan Agreement and no amounts were outstanding under this facility.



On December 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (BMO Harris Bank).  The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line of credit of up to $10 million with a term that extends to December 29, 2017.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee at the rate of 0.10% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving line of credit.  The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien against substantially all of the assets of the Company and a pledge of 65% of the outstanding shares of The Female Health Company Limited.    In addition to other customary representations, covenants and default provisions, the Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and to not to exceed a maximum total leverage ratio.  Among the non-financial covenants, the Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends, buy back shares of its common stock, incur additional debt and make acquisitions above certain amounts.  No amounts are outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2016.  Completion of the proposed merger transaction with APP will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement as a “change of control” as defined in the Credit Agreement and require the waiver of other covenants in the Credit Agreement.  As a result, the line of credit will not remain in place after the completion of the transaction, and any amounts outstanding will become due upon the completion of the transaction, unless BMO Harris Bank agrees to waive the change of control provision and other applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement in connection with the transaction.  Discussions are underway between the Company and BMO Harris Bank.  See Note 11 below.
