NOTE 6.  LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On November 15, 2011, we amended and restated our $60.0 million credit facility with a new $100 million 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 March 31, 2015, we are required to maintain a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA, of no more than 2.0:1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA divided by fixed charges, as defined) of at least 1.15:1. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratios were 1.0:1 and 33.8:1, respectively.

 

The Credit Facility is structured to reduce the maximum principal available by $1.5 million each quarter beginning June 30, 2013. As of March 31, 2015, the maximum principal available was $88.0 million, of which $42.0 million was drawn. 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 for each of the next two years as of March 31, 2015 are as follows (in millions):

At March 31, 2015, our leverage ratio was such that pricing for borrowings under the Credit Facility was LIBOR plus 1.5%. At March 31, 2015, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.18%. The carrying value of the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility approximates fair value because the interest fluctuates with the lender’s prime rate or other market rates of interest.

 

We believe that our existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility will provide us with sufficient resources to fund our operations, meet our debt obligations, and fulfill our capital expenditure plans over the next twelve months; however, our operations are subject to financial, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we could be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing, delaying or eliminating planned capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital.
