Note 6. Long-term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

	March 31, 2014		March 31, 2013
Line of credit (1.4% at March 31, 2014)	$	16,500	$	4,000
Less: current portion		--		--
Long-term portion	$	16,500	$	4,000

In February 2012, we entered into a three year agreement (the “Credit Facility”) for a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”) and up to $1,000,000 of letters of credit, maturing in February 2015. Funds from the Credit Facility may be used for general working capital and corporate needs, retiring existing debt, or to support acquisitions and capital expenditures.

In April 2014, the Credit Facility was amended to include a $15,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility to June 30, 2017. As a result of the extended maturity date, the $16,500,000 outstanding as of March 31, 2014 has been classified as long term on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Under the Line of Credit, indebtedness bears interest at either: (1) LIBOR, as defined, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2%; or (2) the bank’s commercial bank floating rate (“CBFR”), which is the greater of the bank’s prime rate or one month LIBOR + 2.50%, adjusted down, from 1.25% to 0.50%. We elect the interest rate with each borrowing under the line of credit. In addition, there is an unused capacity fee of 0.15% to 0.30%. The adjustments and unused capacity fee depend on the ratio of funded debt (including amounts outstanding under the Term Loan) to our trailing four quarters of EBITDA, as defined, with four tiers ranging from a ratio of less than one to greater than two. Letter of credit fees are based on the applicable LIBOR rate.

The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR, as defined plus 2% and requires 11 quarterly principal payments (the first due date being July 15, 2014) in the amount of $750,000 with the remaining balance of principal and accrued interest due on April 15, 2017. The proceeds from the Term Loan may be used to support acquisition financing and to repay amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit.

The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets and requires us to maintain a ratio of funded debt to our trailing four quarters of EBIDTA, as defined, of 2.5 to 1.0, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1.0. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2014.

Subsequent to year end, we made additional principal payments which reduced the amount outstanding on the Line of Credit by $4,500,000.

Future contractual maturities of debt as of March 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

Year ending March 31,
