3. Line of Credit and Notes Payable

 

We maintain an asset-based revolving credit facility that provides for, among other things, (i) a credit limit of $200 million; (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.

 

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, 2014, 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, 2014, we had $90.3 million of net working capital advances outstanding under the line of credit. At March 31, 2014, the maximum credit line was $200 million and we had $25.9 million available to borrow for working capital advances under the line of credit.

 

In connection with, and as part of, our revolving credit facility, we maintain a term note 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 revolving credit facility upon the maturity thereof, the term loan is payable in its entirety upon demand by the lenders. At March 31, 2014, we had $3.7 million outstanding under the term note. The remaining balance of our term note matures as follows: $465,000 in the reminder of 2014, $620,000 annually in each of the years 2015 through 2018, and $775,000 thereafter.

 

In May 2013, we completed the purchase of real property adjacent to the building we own in Santa Monica, California for $3.0 million and financed $1.7 million of the purchase price with a sub-line under our revolving credit facility. The loan bears the same interest terms as our revolving credit facility. However, the principal amount is amortized monthly over an 84 month period similar to our term note, with monthly principal amortization of approximately $24,000 beginning in July 2014. Accordingly, at March 31, 2014, $217,500 and $1.5 million was included in our “Notes Payable — current” and “Notes payable and other long-term liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

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, 2014, we had $9.2 million outstanding under this credit agreement, which matures as follows: $0.3 million in the remainder of 2014, $0.4 million in 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.

 

In December 2012, we completed the purchase of 7.9 acres of land for approximately $1.1 million with the intent to commence construction on a new cloud data center that we currently expect to open in the latter part of the second quarter of 2014. The Tier III facility is strategically located in a data center-centric development in New Albany, Ohio. The new facility will complement our two existing data centers and a 24/7 Integrated Operations Center (IOC) located in Atlanta, Georgia, enhancing our managed service offerings, including cloud services, data center hosting and management, remote monitoring and disaster recovery. In July 2013, we entered into a loan agreement for up to $7.725 million to finance the build out of the new data center. The loan agreement provides for draws during a construction period subsequent to reaching certain expenditure thresholds. Any outstanding borrowing during the construction period will bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.25%, followed by a five year term and a 25 year straight-line, monthly principal repayment amortization period with a balloon payment at maturity. Interest during the amortization period is variable, indexed to LIBOR plus a spread of 2.25%. At March 31, 2014, we had $2.3 million outstanding under this loan agreement.

 

At March 31, 2014, our effective weighted average annual interest rate on outstanding amounts under the credit facility and term note was 2.09%.

 

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.
