5.LINE OF CREDIT

 

During fiscal 2011, we entered into an amended and restated secured credit agreement (the Restated Credit Agreement) with our existing lender.  The Restated Credit Agreement provided a revolving line of credit facility (the Revolving Line of Credit) with a maximum borrowing amount of $10.0 million and a term loan with maximum available borrowing of up to $5.0 million.  The term loan was repaid in full as of August 31, 2013.

 

On March 25, 2013, we entered into the Third Modification Agreement to the existing Restated Credit Agreement.  The primary purposes of the Third Modification Agreement were to extend the maturity date of the Restated Credit Agreement, as subsequently modified, from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 and to increase the caps for permitted business acquisitions.  The Revolving Line of Credit may be used for general business purposes.  The key terms and conditions of the Revolving Line of Credit under the Third Modification Agreement are as follows:

 

·

Available Credit – The maximum borrowing amount totals $10.0 million, which remains unchanged from the Restated Credit Agreement.

 

·

Maturity Date – The maturity date of the Revolving Line of Credit is March 31, 2016.

 

·

Interest Rate – The effective interest rate continues to be LIBOR plus 2.50 percent per annum.  The unused credit fee on the facility is .33 percent per annum.

 

·

Financial Covenants – The Revolving Line of Credit requires us to be in compliance with specified financial covenants, including (a) a funded debt to EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rental expense) ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00; (b) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.5 to 1.0; and (c) an annual limit on capital expenditures (not including capitalized curriculum development) of $8.0 million. 

 

In the event of noncompliance with these financial covenants and other defined events of default, the lender is entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the repayment of any amounts outstanding on the Restated Credit Agreement.  At August 31, 2014, we believe that we were in compliance with the terms and covenants applicable to the Third Modification Agreement.  The effective interest rate on our Revolving Line of Credit was 2.7 percent at August 31, 2014 and 2.8 percent August 31, 2013.

 

In connection with the Restated Credit Agreement, we entered into a promissory note, a security agreement, repayment guaranty agreements, and a pledge and security agreement.  These agreements pledge substantially all of our assets located in the United States to the lender as collateral for borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement and subsequent amendments.  We had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Line of Credit at August 31, 2014 or August 31, 2013.
