Debt
 
The Company has $268,620,000 in senior secured financing, (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $238,620,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”), subject to certain restrictions, and a $30,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans were repaid during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2028. The lenders have a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. In June 2024, the Company enrolled in a feature with its lenders, under which the Company sweeps its cash collections to pay down its Revolving Facility and borrows on-demand to fund payments.
 
The Company had $90,787,000 and $128,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, $7,047,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, after certain contractual adjustments, $135,150,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on the Company’s Revolving Facility was 7.46% and 8.43% at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if undrawn availability is less than 22.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments and a specified minimum undrawn availability. During the period ended March 31, 2025, undrawn availability was greater than the 22.5% threshold, therefore, the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant was not required to be tested.
 
Convertible Notes, Related Party
 
On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, as amended, (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Bison Capital Partners VI-A, L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P., as the purchaser representative (the “Purchaser Representative”) for the issuance and sale of $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due in 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”), which was used for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded annually, and payable (i) in kind or (ii) in cash, annually in arrears on April 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2024. In April 2024, non-cash accrued interest on the Convertible Notes of $3,209,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at March 31, 2025.
 
The Company’s Convertible Notes are comprised of the following:
 
         

     March 31, 2025       March 31, 2024  
Convertible Notes, related party
           
Principal amount of Convertible Notes
  $35,209,000    $32,000,000 
Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to Compound Net Derivative Liability
   (6,556,000)     (7,576,000) 
Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to debt issuance costs
   (916,000)     (1,058,000) 
Carrying amount of the Convertible Notes
   27,737,000     23,366,000 
Plus: Compound Net Derivative Liability
   7,470,000     7,410,000 
Net carrying amount of Convertible Notes, related party
  $35,207,000    $30,776,000 
 
The aggregate proceeds from the offering were approximately $31,280,000, net of initial purchasers’ fees and other related expenses. The initial conversion rate is 66.6667 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.00 per share of common stock). At March 31, 2025, the Company had 28,240,973 shares of its common stock available to be issued if the Convertible Notes were converted.
 
In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into common stock warrants (the “Warrants”) with the Purchasers, which mature on March 30, 2029. The Warrants do not become exercisable unless a Company Redemption (as defined below) occurs and the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for 20 consecutive days prior to the redemption is less than $15.00. The fair value of the Warrants, using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model, was zero at March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company estimates the fair value of the Warrants at each balance sheet date. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of the Warrants will be recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Convertible Notes may be converted, subject to certain conditions, at an initial conversion price of $15.00, subject to adjustment as provide in the Convertible Notes (the “Conversion Option”). The Convertible Notes also include a provision for a return of interest (“Return of Interest”), which requires the Purchasers to return 15.0% of the interest paid to the Company in certain circumstances, subject to reduction of the Return of Interest amount in the event that the Return of Interest amount would result in total payments to the Purchasers of less than two times the original principal amount. The Return of Interest provision is accounted for as part of the Conversion Option and if the Conversion Option is exercised in the future, the Return of Interest provision will remain outstanding until the Purchaser sells all of the underlying stock received upon conversion. Upon conversion, any value associated with the Return of Interest provision will be reflected as a derivative asset upon conversion, with changes in fair value being recorded in earnings in the consolidated statements of operations until settlement in connection with the sale of the underlying stock by the Purchaser. Unless and until the Company delivers a redemption notice, the Purchasers of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. The Convertible Notes have a stated maturity of March 30, 2029, subject to earlier conversion or redemption in accordance with their terms.
If there is a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Form of Convertible Promissory Note, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes. Except in the case of the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to March 31, 2026. After March 31, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for a cash purchase (the “Company Redemption”) price equal to the Redemption Price (as defined below) plus $5,000,000, but only if (i) it is listed on a national exchange, (ii) there is no “Event of Default” occurring and continuing, and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior four quarters is greater than $80,000,000.  The “Redemption Price” shall mean a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. However, if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for 20 consecutive days prior to the notice of the Company Redemption is less than $15, the Purchasers may exercise the warrants and the Company will pay the Redemption Price plus $2,000,000.
 
The Conversion Option and the Company Redemption both met the criteria for bifurcation from the Convertible Notes as derivatives and have been combined as a compound net derivative liability (the “Compound Net Derivative Liability”). The Compound Net Derivative Liability has been recorded within convertible note, related party in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Conversion Option and the Company Redemption option using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model was a liability of $9,000,000 and $9,800,000, and an asset of $1,530,000 and $2,390,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability at each balance sheet date. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability is recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $60,000 and a gain of $1,020,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
The Convertible Notes also contain additional features, such as, default interest and options related to a Fundamental Transaction, requiring bifurcation which were not separately accounted for as the value of such features were not material at March 31, 2025 and 2024. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of those features is recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Convertible Notes include customary provisions relating to the occurrence of Events of Default, which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Convertible Notes; (ii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) the entering of one or more final judgments or orders against the Company or any of its subsidiaries for an aggregate payment exceeding $25,000,000; (iv) the acceleration of senior debt or any other debt greater than $25,000,000; (v) certain failures of the Company to comply with certain provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement or material breaches of the Note Purchase Agreement by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (vi) any material provision of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the guarantee, the subordination agreement, the Warrants or the registration rights agreement, for any reason, ceases to be valid and binding on the Company or any subsidiary, or any subsidiary shall so claim in writing to challenge the validity of or the Company’s liability under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, or the registration rights agreement; or (vii) the Company fails to maintain the listing of its capital stock on a national securities exchange. Events of Default will be subject to a 30-day cure period except for those related to clause (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence.
 
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Purchasers within 5 business days of first learning of such Event of Default. If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to its significant subsidiary) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action.
Unamortized debt issuance costs of $916,000 and $1,058,000 are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method through the maturity of the Convertible Note and recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The effective interest rate was 18.3% as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs of $360,000 allocated to the Compound Net Derivative Liability were immediately expensed to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2023.
 
Additionally, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to nominate one director to serve (the “Investor Director”) on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). If an Investor Director is not currently serving on the Board, and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to designate one person to have observation rights with respect to all meetings of the Board. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Note Purchase Agreement, Douglas Trussler was appointed to serve on its Board.

Total interest expense
  $4,683,000    $4,172,000    $9,000 
 
There are no future payments required under the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity, therefore, the principal amount of the notes plus interest payable in-kind, assuming no early redemption or conversion has occurred, of $56,704,000 would be paid on March 30, 2029.
