NOTE 7. LONG-TERM DEBT Old Credit Facility Until November 15, 2011 the Company had a reducing revolving term loan credit facility with a consortium of banks (the “Old Credit Facility”) for $60 million. The Old Credit Facility was to be utilized by the Company for working capital needs, general corporate purposes and for ongoing capital expenditure requirements. The Old Credit Facility was replaced on November 15, 2011 by the New Credit Facility. The maturity date of the Old Credit Facility was January 20, 2012. Borrowings under the Old Facility were secured by liens on substantially all of the real and personal property of the Atlantis and were guaranteed by the Company. New Credit Facility The New Credit Facility was entered into by the Company for financing the acquisition of Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., and working capital needs, general corporate purposes and for ongoing capital expenditure requirements. The maximum available borrowings under the New Credit Facility are $100 million (see NOTE 9). The maturity date of the New Credit Facility is November 15, 2016. Borrowings are secured by liens on substantially all of the real and personal property of Monarch, Golden Road, and Monarch Growth (which holds the operations, assets and liabilities of Riviera Black Hawk, Inc.). The New Credit Facility contains covenants customary and typical for a facility of this nature, including, but not limited to, covenants requiring the preservation and maintenance of the Company’s assets and covenants restricting our ability to merge, transfer ownership of Monarch, incur additional indebtedness, encumber assets and make certain investments. The New Credit Facility contains covenants requiring that the Company maintains certain financial ratios and achieves a minimum level of Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) on a trailing four-quarter basis. It also contains provisions that restrict cash transfers between Monarch and its affiliates and contains provisions requiring the achievement of certain financial ratios before the Company can repurchase common stock or pay dividends. Management does not consider the covenants to restrict normal functioning of day-to-day operations. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was required to maintain a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated debt divided by EBITDA, of no more than 3.25:1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA divided by fixed charges, as defined) of at least 1.15:1. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratios were 2.3:1 and 25.9:1, respectively. The maximum principal available under the New Credit Facility is reduced by 1.5% per quarter beginning in the third quarter of 2013. The Company may permanently reduce the maximum principal available at any time so long as the amount of such reduction is at least $500 thousand and a multiple of $50 thousand. Maturities of the Company’s borrowings for each of the next three years and thereafter as of June 30, 2012 are as follows (amounts in thousands):
Year |  | Maturities |
2013 |  | $ | — |
2014 |  | — |
2015 |  | — |
Thereafter |  | 88,000 |
|  | $ | 88,000 |
The Company may prepay borrowings under the New Credit Facility without penalty (subject to certain charges applicable to the prepayment of LIBOR borrowings prior to the end of the applicable interest period). Amounts prepaid may be reborrowed so long as the total borrowings outstanding do not exceed the maximum principal available. The Company paid various one-time fees and other loan costs which totaled $1.6 million upon the closing of the New Credit Facility that are being amortized over the term of the New Credit Facility using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. At June 30, 2012, the Company had $88.0 million outstanding under the New Credit Facility. At that time the Company’s leverage ratio was such that pricing for borrowings under the New Facility was LIBOR plus 2.250%. At June 30, 2012 the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.25%. The carrying value of the debt outstanding under the New Credit Facility approximates fair value because the interest fluctuates with the lender’s prime rate or other market rates of interest.
