10. DEBT AGREEMENTS

 

We are party to a domestic credit agreement that provides us with a $15.0 million revolving credit facility and maximum outstanding letters of credit of $3.0 million. Borrowings under this agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and bear interest at a floating rate, based either on LIBOR or the prime rate, plus an applicable margin.  The agreement contains financial covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, making acquisitions, or paying dividends if we report a cumulative net loss for four consecutive quarters. We also have an uncommitted credit facility in Taiwan in the amount of 100.0 million New Taiwan Dollars (approximately $3.4 million) in addition to a £1.0 million revolving credit facility in the United Kingdom and a €1.5 million revolving credit facility in Germany.  The domestic and United Kingdom facilities mature on December 7, 2012. The credit facility in Germany does not have an expiration date.

 

 

On March 7, 2011 we entered into an uncommitted credit facility in China in the amount of 20.0 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $3.2 million) and amended our domestic credit agreement to accommodate the new facility. As of February 24, 2012 this facility was extended for another twelve months.

 

All of our credit facilities are unsecured.

 

At January 31, 2012, we had $1.5 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility in China and had no other borrowings under any of our other credit facilities. At January 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in all of our credit facilities and had an aggregate of $23.6 million available for borrowings under our credit facilities.
