Revolving Credit Agreement

On November 30, 2013, the Company entered into a $10 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The agreement replaced in its entirety the Company’s prior credit agreement, as amended, originally entered into with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. in October of 2007.  

The 2013 agreement has a maturity date of October 1, 2015. Under the agreement, the credit facility’s interest rate is London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (0.15% at March 31, 2014) plus 3.25% per annum and a commitment fee of 0.3% per annum on the unused portion of the credit limit each quarter. The 2013 agreement provides for usual and customary covenants and restrictions including that the borrower must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00, and will not permit the ratio of consolidated total liabilities to consolidated net worth to exceed 1.00. Additionally, the borrower will not permit, at the end of each calendar quarter, for its net income for the most recently ended six month period to be less than $1.00.

The agreement is collateralized by the Company’s real estate in Beaumont, Texas, trade accounts receivable, equipment, inventories, and work-in-progress, and the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of the borrowing.

The Company has $1.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the JP Morgan Chase N.A. credit agreement at March 31, 2014 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2013. The company had additional borrowing capacity of $8.4 million and $7.9 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively.

In conjunction with the facility expansion at Beaumont, interest is being capitalized at the 30 day LIBOR rate. Interest capitalized for three months ending March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $5,000 and $0 respectively.
