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 $3.3 million), 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 $3.1 million) and amended our domestic credit agreement to accommodate the China credit facility. As of February 24, 2012, the maturity date of the China credit facility was extended for another twelve months and on July 2, 2012 the facility was increased to 40.0 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $6.2 million).

 

All of our credit facilities are unsecured and have variable interest rates.

 

At July 31, 2012, we had $3.1 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility in China, but no other borrowings under any of our other credit facilities. At July 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in all of our credit facilities and had an aggregate of $21.8 million available for borrowings under those facilities.
