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.

 

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, 2016, 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, 2016, the Company’s leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratios were 0.7:1 and 40.5:1, respectively.

 

We may prepay borrowings under the 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 borrowed so long as the total borrowings outstanding do not exceed the maximum principal available.

 

The Credit Facility is structured to reduce the maximum principal available by $1.5 million each quarter beginning June 30, 2013. The Credit Facility also allows us to 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. During the second quarter of 2015, we exercised this option and permanently reduced the amount available under the credit facility by $20 million and in the fourth quarter of 2015 by an additional $15 million. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum principle available under the credit facility is $47.0 million.

 

The maturity date of the Credit Facility is November 15, 2016. As such, the entire amounts outstanding under the credit facility of $35.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and $40.9 million as of December 31, 2015 are classified as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

At March 31, 2016, our leverage ratio was such that pricing for borrowings under the Credit Facility was LIBOR plus 1.25%. At March 31, 2016, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.44%. 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.

 

Subject to entering into a new or amended credit facility with sufficient borrowing capacity to refinance the outstanding balance and to complete the Black Hawk Expansion Plan, we believe, based on the relationship with our current lenders and our recent and projected financial performance, that our existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the existing, amended or new 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 enter into a new or amended credit facility or 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.
