Notes Payable
 
The Company has an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (“Credit and Term Loan Agreement”) with its primary financial lender. Revolving credit and term loans created under the Credit and Term Loan Agreement are collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles. At

three
term loans outstanding under the Credit and Term Loan Agreement.
 
The

31,
2017
and is due on

with monthly principal payments of

plus accrued interest. The interest rate is the prevailing

(2.21%
at

and is reset monthly.

Line of Credit
 
The Company has a
$7.0
million Revolving Line of Credit (“Line of Credit”) under the Credit and Term Loan Agreement. On
March
31,
2017,
the Company executed the Eighth Amendment under the Credit and Term Loan Agreement. This amendment extended the Revolving Line of Credit (“Line of Credit”) maturity to
March
30,
2018,
while other terms of the Line of Credit remained essentially the same. At
March
31,
2017,
the Company had no balance outstanding under the Line of Credit. The Line of Credit requires quarterly interest payments based on the prevailing
30
-day LIBOR rate plus
2.75%
(3.56%
at
March
31,
2017),
and the interest rate is reset monthly. Any future borrowings under the Line of Credit are due on
March
30,
2018.
Future borrowings under the Line of Credit are limited to the lesser of
$7.0
million or the net balance of
80%
of qualified accounts receivable plus
50%
of qualified inventory. Under these limitations, the Company’s total available Line of Credit borrowing base was
$7.0
million at
March
31,
2017.
Among other financial covenants, the Line of Credit agreement provides that the Company maintain a fixed charge ratio of coverage (EBITDA to total fixed charges) of not less than
1.25
to
1.0,
determined quarterly.
 
Fair Value of Debt
 
FASB ASC
820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value.  The
three
levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
 
Level
1
– Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
Level
2
– Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level
1
that are either directly or indirectly observable. These inputs are either directly observable in the marketplace or indirectly observable through corroboration with market data for substantially the full contractual term of the asset or liability being measured.
 
Level
3
– Inputs that are not observable for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value.
 
The Company has determined the carrying value of its variable-rate term loan approximates its fair value since the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on a floating interest rate.
 
The Company has determined the fair value of its fixed-rate term loans utilizing the Level
2
hierarchy as the fair value can be estimated from broker quotes corroborated by other market data. These broker quotes are based on observable market interest rates at which loans with similar terms and maturities could currently be executed. The Company then estimated the fair value of the fixed-rate term loans using cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate obtained. The fair value of the Company’s
second
outstanding fixed rate loan was
$3.0
million as of
March
31,
2017.
The fair value of the Company’s
third
outstanding fixed rate loan was
$3.4
million at
March
31,
2017.
