As of July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility was 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively. The revolving credit facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. As of July 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

In December 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of its revolving credit facility by one year to December 2017. The Company also amended certain covenants contained within the revolving credit facility agreement to accommodate payment of a special and extraordinary cash dividend paid in December 2012. See Note 8, Shareholders' Equity, for additional information. Costs aggregating $.6 million were incurred in connection with the amendments and are included in other assets within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are being amortized to selling, general and administrative expenses within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining term of the revolving credit facility.
