Revolving Credit Agreement

On November 30, 2013, the Company entered into a $10.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Chase).  The agreement replaced in its entirety the Company’s prior credit agreement, as amended, originally entered into with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in October of 2007

 

The 2013 agreement had a maturity date of October 1, 2015.   Under the agreement, the credit facility’s interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum and a commitment fee of 0.3% per annum is charged 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. Effective June 30, 2014 the Company and Chase amended the 2013 credit agreement to exclude the impact of the AAT discontinued operations and anticipated sale of that segment from the calculation of the net income covenant.  On November 12, 2014 the Company entered into an amendment with Chase which extended the maturity of the facility to October 2017. Additionally the amendment modified the interest rate to LIBOR plus 3.00 % per annum and the commitment fee to 0.4% per annum for the unused portion of the credit limit each quarter. The amendment provided for the exclusion of up to $4.9 million of capital expenditures related to the Company’s Beaumont facility expansion from the fixed charge coverage ratio.  The amendment also waived the $1.00 net income requirement for the period ended September 30, 2014 and modified the requirement at December 31, 2014 to be calculated using only the most recent three month period.  

 

The Company had $4.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the JPMorgan Chase N.A. credit agreement at December 31, 2014 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The company had additional borrowing capacity of $3.2 million and $7.9 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively.  

New Financings

 

In March 2015, the Company and Chase executed the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, Amendment to Revolving Credit Note and Limited Waiver. The amendment established the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as December 31, 2015. It established an available amount of not less than $1,500,000 and up to the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Commitment of $4,000,000. The $4,000,000 outstanding under the current Revolving Credit was repaid from the new Term Loan for $4,000,000 upon the effective date of the Third Amendment. The new Term Loan is secured by a mortgage on the Beaumont, Texas Facility. The Term Loan accrues interest at the adjusted LIBOR Rate plus a margin of 3.50%.

The maturity date of the term loan is March 31, 2020. The loan requires payment of principal on the last day of each calendar quarter totaling $222,222 in 2015. This amount would have reduced our working capital and resulted in a current ratio of 2.07 at December 31, 2014.

 

Additionally trade accounts receivable, equipment, inventories, and work-in-process, and investments in foreign subsidiaries secure the financings and the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of the borrowings under the new revolving credit facility.
