On June 22, 2017, the Company renewed the existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) for an additional three years expiring on July 15, 2020. The outstanding loan balance cannot exceed $15.0 million during peak selling season between August 1 and December 31 (with the ability of the Company to request an additional $5.0 million of availability during peak selling season if required) and is reduced to a maximum of $7.5 million between January 1 and July 31. At March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, there was no amounts due on the Revolving Credit Facility. Usage under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the sum of the following (the “Borrowing Base”):

● Up to 85% of the company’s eligible domestic and Canadian accounts receivable and up to 90% of eligible foreign credit insured accounts aged less than 60 days past due (not to exceed 90 days from invoice date, cross aged on the basis of 50% or more past due with certain specific accounts qualifying for up to 120 days from invoice date not to exceed 30 days from the due date; plus

The Revolving Credit Facility includes the following sub-limits:

● $0.5 million eligible in-transit inventory sublimit within the $5.0 million total inventory.

● Mandatory pay-down to $1.0 million (excluding letters of credit) for any 30 consecutive days between February 1 and April 30.

The Revolving Credit Facility must comply with the following quarterly financial covenants to avoid default:

● Fixed charge coverage ratio test of 1.1:1 times measured on a rolling four quarter basis, defined as EBITDA less non-financed capital expenditures, cash dividends and distributions paid and cash taxes paid divided by the sum of interest and principal on all indebtedness.

● Capital expenditures limited to approximately $0.4 million per year.

On August 2, 2018, PNC issued a third amendment and waiver (“third amendment”) to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Security Agreement in effect for fiscal 2019. The third amendment waived existing violations of the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1 and increased maximum capital expenditures from $300,000 to $375,000 per fiscal year. The Company incurred an amendment fee of $10,000 upon execution of the agreement.

As of March 31, 2019 the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Interest on the Revolving Line of Credit is accrued at .75% per annum over PNC’s announced prime rate with an option for the Company to elect the 1, 2 or 3 month fully absorbed PNC LIBOR Rate plus 2.75% per annum with a default rate of 2% over the applicable rate. There is an unused facility fee equal to .375% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility which will be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed and will be payable quarterly in arrears. During both fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $0.2 million on amounts borrowed against the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Line of Credit is secured by first priority security interests in all of the named borrowers’ tangible and intangible assets as well as first priority security interests of 100% of member or ownership interests of any of its domestic existing or newly formed subsidiaries and first priority lien on up to 65% of the borrowers’ domestic subsidiary’s existing or subsequently formed or acquired foreign subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility is also secured by a related-party debt subordination agreement with Starlight Marketing Development, Ltd. in the amount of approximately $0.8 million.

Term Note Payable

In connection with the amendments above and in addition to the maximum availability limits on the Revolving Line of Credit, the agreement also includes a two-year term note (“Term Note”) in the amount of $1.0 million the proceeds of which were used to pay down a portion of the subordinated related party debt of approximately $1.9 million in June 2017. The Term Note bears interest at 1.75% per annum over PNC’s announced prime rate or 1, 2, or 3 month PNC LIBOR Rate plus 3.75%. The Term Note is payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 plus accrued interest with the first installment paid on August 1, 2017. At March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the Term Note was approximately $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $22,000 and $23,000, respectively.

As part of the Conditions to Installment Payment of the subordinated debt, payments not made under this note that cannot be made as a result of the foregoing prohibition shall not be deemed an Event of Default and can be made as soon as the Company is able to demonstrate that it meets the liquidity requirements defined above.
