Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
NOTE 11 - Debt

On September 25, 2019, BK Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation, and U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, a division of U.S. Bank National Association, as a lender, entered into a Master Loan Agreement in the amount of $425 to finance various items of equipment. The loan is collateralized by the equipment purchased using the proceeds. The Master Loan Agreement has a term of five years and bears a fixed interest rate of 5.11%.

 

On March 28, 2019, BK Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation, RELM Communications, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies, Inc., and Silicon Valley Bank, as lender (“SVB”), entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). The Loan and Security Agreement replaced BK Technologies, Inc.’s prior Loan and Security Agreement with SVB (the “Prior Agreement”) under which its secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) was maintained.

 

Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Credit Facility continues to provide BK Technologies, Inc. with a maximum borrowing availability of $1,000 and BK Technologies, Inc. continues to be subject to substantially the same customary borrowing terms and conditions under the Credit Facility as it was under the Prior Agreement, including the accuracy of representations and warranties, compliance with financial maintenance and restrictive covenants and the absence of events of default. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, payment of cash dividends, in the aggregate not to exceed $5,000 during any twelve-month period, is permitted so long as an event of default does not exist at the time of such dividend and would not exist after giving effect to such dividend. Any borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the variable interest rate equal to 25 basis points above The Wall Street Journal prime rate. The maturity date of the Credit Facility has been extended to December 26, 2019.

 

The financial maintenance covenants, required to be maintained at all times and tested quarterly (or, for the “Adjusted Quick Ratio” covenant, monthly, if any obligations are outstanding), include: (1) a ratio of “Quick Assets” to the sum of “Current Liabilities” plus outstanding borrowings to SVB to the extent not included in “Current Liabilities” minus the current portion of “Deferred Revenue” (all as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of at least 1.25:1.00; provided that “Net Cash” (defined as the difference between unrestricted cash on deposit with SVB minus any outstanding advances under the Credit Facility) is required to be at least $1,000; and (2) maximum “Total Leverage” (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of no greater total consolidated “Indebtedness” than 3 times “Adjusted EBITDA” (all as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement). BK Technologies, Inc.’s obligations are collateralized by substantially all of its assets, principally accounts receivable and inventory.

 

BK Technologies, Inc. was in compliance with all covenants under the Loan and Security Agreement as of the date of filing this report. As of September 30, 2019 and the date of filing this report, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
