Long-term Debt

On January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, the outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility were $51.7 million and $41.8 million, respectively.

We have entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $115 million, allows for the payment of dividends, has a maturity date of January 4, 2017, and provides that we may repurchase up to $10.0 million worth of our common stock. The Credit Agreement also provides that we may repurchase additional shares of our common stock in the event we meet certain criteria set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes certain debt and acquisition limitations and requires a minimum Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that is greater than or equal to $10.0 million at all times. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and our subsidiary and are guaranteed by our subsidiary.

The amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement is limited by a borrowing base predicated on the sum of (a) 85% of Eligible Credit Card Receivables plus (b) either (i) at all times during the year, other than those stated in (ii), 90% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory or (ii) from September 1st through and including December 27th of each year, 92.5% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, less (c) Availability Reserves and is limited to a ceiling of $115 million, less a minimum availability reserve that is greater than or equal to 10% of the lesser of (a) the Borrowing Base, or (b) the Revolving Credit Ceiling (each term as defined in the Credit Agreement), provided however that we must also maintain Availability that is greater than or equal to $10 million at all times. The lender may increase specifically defined reserves to reduce availability in the event of adverse changes in our industry or our financial condition that are projected to impact the value of our assets pledged as collateral. The lender must exercise reasonable judgment and act in good faith with respect to any changes in the specifically defined reserves.

Interest under the Credit Agreement will accrue, at our election, at a Base Rate or Libor Rate, plus, in each case, an Applicable Margin, which is determined by reference to the level of Availability as defined in the Credit Agreement, with the Applicable Margin for Libor Rate loans ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% and the Applicable Margin for Base Rate loans ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%. In addition, unused line fees ranging from 0.30% to 0.375% (determined by reference to the level of usage under the Credit Agreement) are also payable on unused commitments.

We utilize standby letters of credit to support certain insurance policies. The aggregate amount of the letters of credit at January 31, 2014, was approximately $0.8 million, which reduces the excess availability under the Credit Agreement.

At January 31, 2014, we had approximately $49.7 million in excess availability, after the availability reserve, under the Credit Agreement. The average rate of interest incurred for both fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was 2.5%.  Deferred financing costs that were amortized into interest expense during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are excluded from the calculation of the average rate of interest for the respective period.
