11. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT: Short-term Borrowings In May 2020, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”), with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance LLC, M&T Bank, Bank of the West, and Truist Bank. In July 2021, the Company amended its Credit Facility to increase the borrowing availability to $500.0 million, extend the term to expire by one year to , with two one-year options to renew, subject to lender approval, and modify certain provisions to provide additional liquidity to the Company. The Credit Facility provides the Company a line of credit with asset based borrowing availability of up to $500.0 million for working capital and inventory financing, with the amount permissible pursuant to a borrowing base formula. The Credit Facility expires in , subject to extension for two one-year periods, with lender approval. The Credit Facility has certain financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility is 345 basis points plus the greater of 75 basis points or the one-month LIBOR. There is an unused line fee of ten basis points on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. In October 2021, we amended the Credit Facility to allow for the transition of the benchmark interest rate used from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR). As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. New inventory borrowing eligibility will generally mature 1,080 days from the original invoice date. Used inventory borrowing eligibility will generally mature 361 days from the date we acquire the used inventory. The collateral for the Credit Facility is all of our personal property with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged for collateral for the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2021, our indebtedness associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs totaled approximately $24.1 million, and included unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million. As of September 30, 2020 and 2021, the interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 4.20%. As of September 30, 2021, our additional available borrowings under our Credit Facility were approximately $79.0 million based upon the outstanding borrowing base availability. As is common in our industry, we receive interest assistance directly from boat manufacturers, including Brunswick. The interest assistance programs vary by manufacturer, but generally include periods of free financing or reduced interest rate programs. The interest assistance may be paid directly to us or our lender depending on the arrangements the manufacturer has established. We classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales. The availability and costs of borrowed funds can adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate boat inventory and the holding costs of that inventory as well as the ability and willingness of our customers to finance boat purchases. However, we rely on our Credit Facility to purchase our inventory of boats. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages. Our access to funds under our Credit Facility also depends upon the ability of our lenders to meet their funding commitments, particularly if they experience shortages of capital or experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests from others during a short period of time. Unfavorable economic conditions, weak consumer spending, turmoil in the credit markets, and lender difficulties, among other potential reasons, could interfere with our ability to utilize our Credit Facility to fund our operations. Any inability to utilize our Credit Facility could require us to seek other sources of funding to repay amounts outstanding under the credit agreements or replace or supplement our credit agreements, which may not be possible at all or under commercially reasonable terms. Similarly, decreases in the availability of credit and increases in the cost of credit adversely affect the ability of our customers to purchase boats from us and thereby adversely affect our ability to sell our products and impact the profitability of our finance and insurance activities. Long-term Debt The below table summarizes the Company's long-term debt.
As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $7.4 million under the mortgage facility payable to Flagship Bank. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate maturities of long-term debt by fiscal year are summarized as follows:
