Note 6 – Credit Arrangements

The Company has no outstanding long-term debt and was in compliance with all loan covenants as of May 31, 2014.   The Company’s credit arrangements consisted of the following:

 

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 January 22, 2014 to revise letter of credit expiry dates and cash collateralization procedures (“Revolving Credit Agreement”).  The borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement may primarily be used for working capital purposes and funding acquisitions.  At May 31, 2014 and 2013 and August 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Agreement.  The amount of borrowings available at any time under the Revolving Credit Agreement is reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit then outstanding.  At May 31, 2014, the Company had the ability to borrow $24.5 million under this facility, after consideration of standby letters of credit of $5.5 million.  Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 90 basis points (1.05 percent as of May 31, 2014), 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.  Any unpaid principal and interest is due by February 13, 2016.

 

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains 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 covenants, including a change in control of the Company, all amounts due thereunder may be declared to be immediately due and payable.
