NOTE 9 — FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company maintains financing arrangements with the Bank that are described in a Replacement Credit Agreement, effective August 10, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which superseded the Company’s prior arrangements with the Bank, provides a revolving loan with a maximum borrowing amount of $10.0 million that is available until May 31, 2018 with interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.00%. The Company may also use the borrowing ability to cover standby letters of credit issued by the Bank for the Company’s use in the ordinary course of business. There were no actual borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of April 30 or January 31, 2016. Borrowing availability in the total amount of approximately $4.4 million has been designated to cover several letters of credit issued by the Bank, with expiration dates ranging from September 23, 2016 to January 8, 2017, to cover insurance exposures and in support of the project development activities of a potential power plant owner.

 

The Company has pledged the majority of its assets to secure the financing arrangements. The Bank’s consent is not required for acquisitions, divestitures, cash dividends or significant investments as long as certain conditions are met. The Bank requires that the Company comply with certain financial covenants at its fiscal year-end and at each of its fiscal quarter-ends. As of April 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.

 

The commercial bank that supports the activities of TRC has issued two outstanding irrevocable letters of credit on its behalf in the amounts of $0.5 million and $0.4 million with current expiration dates of June 30 and August 31, 2016, respectively, which are secured by a lien on the owned facility of TRC.
