Current Liquidity and Revolving Credit Facility
 
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations, and meet the other general cash needs of our business. Our liquidity is impacted by general economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay our expenses, principally labor-costs, and other related expenditures. We generally satisfy our liquidity needs through cash provided by operations and, when necessary, our revolving line of credit from Citizens Bank. The Company expects to have positive cash flow over at least the next
two
quarters and has a great deal of flexibility to reduce its costs if it becomes necessary. The Company believes that it can satisfy its liquidity needs for at least the next
twelve
months.
 
The Company’s liquidity and capital resources as of
March 28, 2020,
included accounts receivable and total current asset balances of
$50.8
million and
$57.2
million, respectively. Current liabilities, including the revolving line of credit, were
$50.6
million as of
March 28, 2020,
and were exceeded by total current assets by
$6.7
million. Cash and accounts receivables, excluding prepaid assets, of
$53.3
million also exceeded total current liabilities by
$2.7
million.
 
The Company experiences volatility in its daily cash flow and, at times, relies on the revolving line of credit to provide daily liquidity for the Company’s financial operations.  As of
March 28, 2020,
the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility, except its financial covenant for the ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization). The Company obtained an express waiver from Citizens Bank as of
March 28, 2020.
Historically, the Company has experienced numerous quarters whereby it was
not
in compliance with its debt to EBITDA covenant, and Citizens Bank has provided waivers or other amendments. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending
June 27, 2020,
and continuing for the foreseeable future thereafter, the Company believes that it
may
not
be in compliance with its debt to EBITDA covenant. While the Company believes that Citizens Bank will provide future waivers or make changes to its current agreement so that compliance with the current debt to EBDITA covenant is
no
longer applicable, the Company can give
no
assurance that this will occur.
 
In the event of future noncompliance with the Company’s revolving line of credit, Citizens Bank could demand different terms or repayment. While the Company believes any adverse decision by Citizens Bank is unlikely, the Company believes that it has several viable refinance options. These options include, but are
not
limited to, agreeing to different terms with Citizens Bank or another bank, under an unsecured or securitized (“asset-based”) loan. The Company believes that its accounts receivable and total current asset balances of
$50.8
million and
$57.2
million as of
March 28, 2020,
respectively, are sufficient to provide the Company many different financing options. The Company believes that banks often focus their credit decisions on the ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities,
not
including any borrowings. The Company’s total current assets of
$57.2
million, including accounts receivable of
$50.8
million, exceeds its total current liabilities,
not
including its revolving line of credit, of
$17.8
million by
$39.5
million. As a result, the Company believes that it is an attractive candidate for both unsecured or asset-based loans. Numerous frontline banks often approach the Company for different types of financing options.
