REVOLVING BANK LOAN AND LONG-TERM DEBT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
REVOLVING BANK LOAN AND LONG-TERM DEBT | 11. The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effective November 18, 2011. The Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement effective March 20, 2015 and the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement effective August 10, 2015. Effective March 24, 2016 the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement. The Company had previously entered into four separate amendments to the Credit Agreement. Cumulatively, the amendments were entered into by the Company to, among other things, (i) modify certain of the financial covenants, (ii) increase the Revolving Commitment to $20,000,000, (iii) terminate the Term Loan Commitment upon the repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest thereon) of the Term Loan, (iv) modify the Borrowing Base calculation to provide for borrowing availability in respect of new Capital Expenditures, (v) decrease the interest rates on the Revolving Loans and (vi) extend the maturity date to May 1, 2018. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or prime rate based option.
The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period.
The Credit Agreement as amended provides for the following:
Definitions under the Credit Agreement as amended are as follows:
Outstanding funded revolving debt was $4,700,000 as of July 2, 2016 compared to $6,200,000 as of January 2, 2016. The highest balance outstanding during the first six months of 2016 and 2015 was $7,500,000 and $6,800,000, respectively. Average outstanding funded debt was $5,432,000 and $4,882,000 for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. At July 2, 2016, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5,415,000. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the available borrowing capacity exceeded the cash needs of the Company and this situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months except for the possible acquisition of an aggregates property near Colorado Springs that the Company has an option on. The Company expects to arrange for term or mortgage financing to fund the acquisition and purchase the necessary equipment needed to begin mining the property should it exercise its option. The option, originally set to expire in April 2016, has been verbally extended until the end of 2016. The Company expects to be in compliance with all debt covenants, as amended, throughout the facility’s remaining term.
