Credit Arrangements [Abstract] |
Credit Arrangements | K. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS Euro Line of Credit The Company’s wholly-owned European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe SAS, has an unsecured revolving line of credit with Societe Generale, a European commercial bank, under which it could borrow for working capital purposes up to 2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately $3.0 million U.S. dollars as of August 31, 2013 (the “Euro Line of Credit”). There were no borrowings outstanding on this credit agreement at August 31, 201 3 or 201 2. Under the terms of the Euro line of Credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a floating rate in effect from time to time designated by the commercial bank as the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 110 basis points, (1.32 percent at August 31, 201 3). Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 31, 2014. The Company intends to renew the Euro Line of Credit upon expiration of its term. BSI Term Note The Company entered into an unsecured $30.0 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, effective June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “BSI Term Note”) to partially finance the acquisition of Barrier Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Borrowings under the BSI Term Note bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points (0.68 percent at August 31, 2013). The Company effectively fixed the economic effect of the variable interest rate at 6.05 percent through an interest rate swap as described in Note L, Financial Derivatives. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1.1 million over a seven year period that began in September of 2006. The BSI Term N ote was repaid in full on its scheduled maturity date of June 10, 2013. Revolving Credit Agreement The Company has an unsecured $30.0 million Revolving Credit Note and Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which was amended on February 13, 2013 in order to extend the termination date from January 23, 2014 to February 13, 2016 (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement may primarily be used for working capital purposes and funding acquisitions. At August 31, 201 3 and 201 2, there was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 90 basis points (1.08 percent at August 31, 2013), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Interest is paid on a monthly to quarterly basis depending on loan type. The Company also pays an annual commitment fee of 0.25 percent on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Agreement. Unpaid principal and interest is due by February 1 3, 201 6. The Revolving Credit Agreement contain s certain covenants relating to the Company’s financial condition. These include maintaining a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a current ratio and a tangible net worth requirement at specified levels. Upon the occurrence of any event of default of these covena nts, including a ch ange in control of the Company, all amounts due thereunder may be declared to be immediately due and payable. The BSI Term Note contained substantially similar covenants. At August 31, 201 3 and 201 2, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants. Long-term debt consists of the following:
