New Credit Facility
 
On June 23, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”). The Credit Agreement includes both a term loan and a revolving line of credit and is secured by mortgages on our facilities and personal property in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana. We used the proceeds from the term loan to satisfy our indebtedness with Huntington Bank described below and terminated the related interest rate swap.
 
The term loan for $4,500 bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.99%, with monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $33. The term loan matures in June 2022. The balance on the term loan at September 30, 2017 was $4,446. The revolving line of credit for up to $2,000 matures in June 2019 and bears interest at the Prime Rate (generally defined as the highest rate identified as the “Prime Rate” in The Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” column on the date the interest rate is to be determined, or if that date is not a publication date, on the publication date immediately preceding) less Twenty-five (25) Basis Points (0.25%). The balance on the revolving line of credit at September 30, 2017 was $0. We must pay accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding balance under the credit line on a monthly basis.
 
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the
Company’s
 ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions or investments, incur debt or liens, make distributions to shareholders or repurchase outstanding stock, enter into related party transactions and make capital expenditures, other than upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017 and of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for the quarters thereafter and (ii) beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 ending September 30, 2017, a debt to equity ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00 until maturity. Upon an event of default, which includes certain customary events such as, among other things, a failure to make required payments when due, a failure to comply with covenants, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, and defaults under other material indebtedness, FIB may cease advancing funds, increase the interest rate on outstanding balances, accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and foreclose on all collateral.
 
We incurred $69 of costs in June 2017 related to the Credit Agreement that was partially amortized in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2017 with the remainder to be amortized through June 2022.
 
Credit Facility
 
On May 14, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Huntington Bank, which was subsequently amended on May 14, 2015 (“Agreement”). The Agreement included both a term loan and a revolving loan and was secured by mortgages on our facilities in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana and liens on our personal property. As of December 31, 2015, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the Agreement, and during fiscal 2016 and most of the first nine months of fiscal 2017 we operated either in default of, or under forbearance arrangements with respect to, the Agreement.
 
Under a series of forbearance arrangements, Huntington Bank agreed during the relevant forbearance periods to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Agreement and from terminating the Company’s related swap agreement with respect to the Company’s non-compliance with applicable financial covenants under the Agreement and to continue to make advances under the Agreement.
 
In exchange for Huntington Bank’s agreement to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things: (i) amend the maturity dates for the term and revolving loans under the Agreement (the last such amendment to July 31, 2017), (ii) take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain funds sufficient to repay the indebtedness in full upon the expiration of the forbearance periods, (iii) provide to Huntington Bank certain cash flow forecasts and other financial information, (iv) comply with a minimum cash flow covenant, (v) engage the services of a financial consultant and cause the financial consultant to provide Huntington Bank such information regarding its efforts as reasonably requested, and (vi) pay to Huntington Bank certain fees, including a forbearance fee in the amount of $227, $27 of which was paid at the execution of the last forbearance agreement, with the remainder payable upon the first to occur of payment in full of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or July 14, 2017. The agreement provided that should the Company repay the indebtedness to Huntington Bank in full on or before July 14, 2017, the forbearance fee would be reduced by $100. Because we believed that it was more likely than not that we would have to pay the full fee of $200, we accrued for the fees from the last forbearance agreement net of accumulated amortization in the Term loan, net of debt issuance costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the second fiscal quarter of 2017. This accrual was reduced by $100 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 because the loan to Huntington Bank was paid in full prior to July 14, 2017.
 
We incurred a total of $56 of costs related to certain of our forbearance arrangements that was amortized in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2017.
 
Interest Rate Swap
 
We entered into an interest rate swap agreement with respect to the loans with Huntington Bank to fix the interest rate with respect to 60% of the value of the term loan at approximately 5.0%. We entered into this interest rate swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk of the related debt obligation and not to speculate on interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to the extent effective. The interest rate swap was terminated as a result of the new credit facility described above and the balance was reduced to zero as of September 30, 2017.
 
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, we amortized $160 and $153 into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). These noncash charges are included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the unamortized portion of debt issuance costs related to our respective credit facilities was $64 and $10, respectively, and was included in Long-term Debt, less current portion on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
