NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT

On November 15, 2011, we amended and restated our $60.0 million credit facility with a new facility (the “Credit Facility”). We utilized the Credit Facility to finance the acquisition of Black Hawk and the Credit Facility is available to be used for working capital needs, general corporate purposes and for ongoing capital expenditure requirements.

The maturity date of the Credit Facility is November 15, 2016. Borrowings are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s real and personal property.

In addition to other customary covenants for a facility of this nature, as of September 30, 2014, the Company was required to maintain a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated debt divided by EBITDA, of no more than 2.5:1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA divided by fixed charges, as defined) of at least 1.15:1. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratios were 1.02:1 and 31.0:1, respectively.

The Credit Facility is structured to reduce the maximum principal available by $1.5 million each quarter beginning June 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the maximum principal available was $91.0 million. We may permanently reduce the maximum principal available at any time so long as the amount of such reduction is at least $0.5 million and a multiple of $50,000. Maturities of our borrowings under the Credit Facility for each of the next three years and thereafter as of September 30, 2014 are as follows:

Amounts in millions

Year	Maturities
2014	$	—
2015	—
2016	43.4
Thereafter	—
	$	43.4

At September 30, 2014, the Company had $43.4 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. At that time our leverage ratio was such that pricing for borrowings under the Credit Facility was LIBOR plus 1.5%. At September 30, 2014, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.16%. The carrying value of the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility approximates fair value due to the variable nature of applicable interest rates and relative short-term maturity.
