NOTE G – DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 30, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EthoStream, as co-borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Heritage Bank Loan Agreement”), with Heritage Bank of Commerce, a California state chartered bank (“Heritage Bank”), governing a new revolving credit facility in a principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”). Following the sale of EthoStream in March of 2017, it was removed as a co-borrower. Availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory each multiplied by an applicable advance rate, with an overall limitation tied to the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. The Heritage Bank Loan Agreement is available for working capital and other general business purposes. The outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 3.00%, which was 8.50% at December 31, 2018 and 7.50% at December 31, 2017. On October 9, 2014, as part of the Heritage Bank Loan Agreement, Heritage Bank was granted a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Telkonet common stock, for further information on the accounting for warrants, refer to Note J. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.20 and expires October 9, 2021. On February 13, 2019, the tenth amendment to the Credit Facility was executed extending the maturity date to September 30, 2020, unless earlier accelerated under the terms of the Heritage Bank Loan Agreement.

The Heritage Bank Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants that place restrictions on, among other things, the incurrence of debt, granting of liens and sale of assets. The Heritage Bank Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants, including a maximum EBITDA loss covenant, measured quarterly, a minimum asset coverage ratio, measured monthly, and a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company and Heritage Bank entered into several amendments to the Credit Facility to adjust these covenant levels. As long as the Company maintains the minimum unrestricted cash balance of $2 million, a violation of the minimum EBITDA level will not trigger an event of default. A violation of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under the Heritage Bank Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such an event of default or certain other customary events of defaults, payment of any outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and Heritage Bank’s commitment to extend credit under the Heritage Bank Loan Agreement may be terminated. The Heritage Bank Loan Agreement contains other representations and warranties, covenants, and other provisions customary to transactions of this nature.

The outstanding balance on the Credit Facility was $121,474 and $682,211 at December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the remaining available borrowing capacity was approximately $499,000 and $202,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
