4. Line of Credit and Notes Payable

 

On March 22, 2013, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with certain lenders named therein. The Amended Loan Agreement provides us an asset-based revolving credit facility that provides for, among other things, (i) a credit limit of $190 million, which may be increased by $10 million to a total of $200 million upon the fulfillment of certain conditions; (ii) LIBOR interest rate options that we can enter into with no limit on the maximum outstanding principal balance which may be subject to a LIBOR interest rate option; and (iii) a maturity date of September 30, 2017. The credit facility, which functions as a working capital line of credit with a borrowing base of inventory and accounts receivable, including certain credit card receivables, and a portion of the value of certain real estate, also includes a monthly unused line fee of 0.25% per year on the amount, if any, by which the Maximum Credit, as defined in the agreement, then in effect, exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding borrowings during the immediately preceding month. There can be no assurance that the lenders, if we proposed to increase the credit limit, will commit to the remaining excess $10 million of credit beyond the $190 million in any future period. As a result, we may not be able to access the credit facility beyond its current limit of $190 million.

 

The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. In addition to the security interest required by the credit facility, certain of our vendors have security interests in some of our assets related to their products. The credit facility has as its single financial covenant a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) requirement in the event an FCCR triggering event has occurred. An FCCR triggering event is comprised of maintaining certain specified daily and average excess availability thresholds. In the event the FCCR covenant applies, the fixed charge coverage ratio is 1.0 to 1.0 calculated on a trailing four quarter basis as of the end of the last quarter immediately preceding such FCCR triggering event date. At March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenant under the credit facility.

 

Loan availability under the line of credit fluctuates daily and is affected by many factors, including eligible assets on-hand, opportunistic purchases of inventory and availability and our utilization of early-pay discounts. At March 31, 2013, we had $75.6 million of net working capital advances outstanding under the line of credit. At March 31, 2013, the maximum credit line was $190 million and we had $41.2 million available to borrow for working capital advances under the line of credit.

 

In connection with and as part of the amended credit facility, we entered into an amended term note on March 22, 2013 with a principal balance of $4.34 million, payable in equal monthly principal installments, amortized over 84 months, beginning on April 1, 2013, plus interest at the prime rate with a LIBOR option. In the event of a default, termination or non-renewal of the Amended Loan Agreement upon the maturity thereof, the term loan is payable in its entirety upon demand by the lenders. At March 31, 2013, we had $4.34 million outstanding under the amended term note. The remaining balance of our term note matures as follows: $465,000 in the remainder of 2013, $620,000 annually in each of the years 2014 through 2017, and $1.4 million thereafter.

 

At March 31, 2013, our effective weighted average annual interest rate on outstanding amounts under the credit facility and term note was 2.41%.

 

In June 2011, we entered into a credit agreement to finance the acquisition and improvement of the real property we purchased in March 2011 in El Segundo, California. The credit agreement provides for a five year term and a 25 year straight-line, monthly principal repayment amortization period with a balloon payment at maturity. Interest is variable, indexed to Prime plus a spread of 0.375% or LIBOR plus a spread of 2.375% at our option, payable monthly. At March 31, 2013, we had $9.6 million outstanding under this credit agreement, which matures as follows: $0.3 million in the remainder of 2013, $0.4 million annually in each of the years 2014 through 2015 and $8.5 million in 2016. The loan is secured by the real property and contains financial covenants substantially similar to those of our existing asset-based credit facility.

 

The carrying amounts of our line of credit borrowings and notes payable approximate their fair value based upon the current rates offered to us for obligations of similar terms and remaining maturities.
