Distribution Facility Expansion

During fiscal 2014, we began a significant operational expansion initiative with respect to overall warehousing capacity and new equipment and system upgrades at our Bowling Green, Kentucky distribution facility. The expansion project includes the construction of a new building which, when completed, will expand our current 262,000 square foot facility to an approximately 600,000 square foot facility. The expansion project is expected to be completed in the first half of fiscal 2015. The updated facilities will also include new high-speed parcel shipping and item sortation equipment to support our increased level of shipments and units and a new call center facility to better serve our customers. Total cost of the expansion will be approximately $25 million and will be financed with our expanded PNC revolving line of credit and a $15 million PNC term loan. Construction started in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, with expected cash commitments of approximately $18 million during fiscal 2014 and cash commitments of approximately $7 million during the first half of fiscal 2015. As of November 1, 2014, we have expended approximately $5 million in cash relating to the Bowling Green expansion initiative funded primarily from our PNC term loan.
