8. DEBT The Company primarily finances its operations through a credit facility agreement with Bank of America (the “Facility”) and long-term debt agreements with banks. The Facility included the following significant terms at June 2012: · April 2014 maturity date and a $70.0 million revolving credit limit. · Loan accordion allowing the Company to increase the size of the credit facility agreement by $25.0 million. · A provision providing an additional $5.0 million of credit advances for certain inventory purchases. · Evergreen renewal clause automatically renewing the agreement for one year unless either the borrower or lender provides written notice terminating the agreement at least 90 days prior to the end of the original term of the agreement or the end of any renewal period. · Prepayment penalty equal to one-half of one percent (1/2%) if the Company prepays the entire Facility or terminates it in year one of the agreement, and one-fourth of one percent (1/4%) if the Company prepays the entire Facility or terminates it in year two of the agreement. The prepayment penalty is calculated based on the maximum loan limit. · The Facility bears interest at either the bank’s prime rate or at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, at the election of the Company. · Lending limits subject to accounts receivable and inventory limitations. · An unused commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (1/4%) per annum on the difference between the maximum loan limit and average monthly borrowings. · Secured by collateral including all of the Company’s equipment, intangibles, inventories, and accounts receivable. · Provides that the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock in excess of $1.00 per share on an annual basis. · A financial covenant requiring a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 as measured by the previous twelve month period then ended only if excess availability falls below 10% of the maximum loan limit as defined in the credit agreement. Cross Default and Co-Terminus Provisions The Company’s owned real estate in Bismarck, ND, Quincy, IL, and Rapid City, SD, and certain warehouse equipment in the Rapid City, SD warehouse are financed through term loans with BMO Harris, NA (“BMO”) which is also a participant lender on the Company’s revolving line of credit. The BMO loans contain cross default provisions which cause all loans with BMO to be considered in default if any one of the loans where BMO is a lender, including the revolving credit facility, is in default. There were no such cross defaults at June 2012. In addition, the BMO loans contain co-terminus provisions which require all loans with BMO to be paid in full if any of the loans are paid in full prior to the end of their specified terms. Other AMCON has issued a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $0.4 million to its workers’ compensation insurance carrier as part of its self-insured loss control program. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
