Line of Credit
 
As of
February 1, 2020
, the Company had a bank line of credit that provides borrowing capacity of
$20.0
million. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by its assets and a pledge of
66%
of the Company’s ownership interest in certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The credit agreement expires on
December 31, 2020
and contains various restrictions on indebtedness, liens, guarantees, redemptions, mergers, acquisitions or sale of assets, loans, transactions with affiliates and investments. The agreement limits the conditions under which the Company
may
declare dividends and repurchase shares. For example, we
may
not
use the proceeds of the line of credit to repurchase shares. The commitment fee is
0.25%
per annum and borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus
3.25%.
Financial covenants included maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and
not
exceeding a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio as of the end of the
fourth
quarter of fiscal
2019
(as defined in the credit agreement). The line of credit agreement also includes an anti-hoarding clause, which precludes borrowings that would cause our cash balance to exceed
$5
million. In addition, the Company has a
$1.0
million letter of credit against the line at the end of fiscal
2019.
 
As of 
February 1, 2020
: (i) the Company was in compliance with all covenants and (ii) there were
no
borrowings under the line of credit.
 
The Company has
not
borrowed on its credit facility as of
April 13, 2020
and had approximate
ly 
$23.8
 million i
n operating cash. Due to the impacts of COVID-
19
  and the closure of our owned and operated stores, our financial performance in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2020
will be negatively impacted. As a result, it is likely that we will be unable to comply with certain covenants in our existing line of credit. The Company's liquidity
may
be negatively impacted if stores do
not
resume normal operations and the Company
may
be required to pursue additional sources of financing to meet its financial obligations. Obtaining such financing is
not
guaranteed and is largely dependent on market conditions and other factors. The Company believes that its current cash balance, along with the actions taken as outlined above, provides it with sufficient current liquidity. Future impact of COVID-
19
may
require further actions by the Company to improve its cash position, including but
not
limited to, monetizing Company assets including the Company owned warehouse in Ohio, inventory, implementing further employee furloughs, and foregoing capital expenditures and other discretionary expenses.
