| Credit Facility, Long-Term Debt and Debt Covenants Disclosure [Text Block] | 6) Credit Facility, Long-Term Debt and Debt Covenants On June 10, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries (each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Waiver and Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, National Association as administrative agent and lender (the “Administrative Agent”). The Second Amendment Effective Date, as defined in the Second Amendment, is June 10, 2016. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated to terminate the revolving credit loan commitment (the “Facility”), change the maturity date of the revolving credit loans and the term loan from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2017, and obligate monthly payments of $200,000 to reduce the principal amount of the loans. Additionally, the Borrowers deposited 105% of the face amount of the outstanding letters of credit in a cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent which is included in restricted cash on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At October 2, 2016, the principal amount outstanding under the Facility and the Term Loan was $1.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively, along with approximately $1.0 million in letters of credit for real estate locations. The Credit Agreement allows for termination by the Borrower without penalty at any time. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers have granted the Lender a security interest in all current and future personal property of the Borrower. Principal amounts outstanding under the Facility bear interest either at an adjusted Eurodollar rate or “Base Rate” plus an applicable margin. For the nine months ended October 2, 2016 and September 27, 2015, our weighted average interest rate for the Facility was 3.67% and 2.64%, respectively. Principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan bear interest at the same rate as the Facility. The weighted average interest rate of the Term Loan for the nine months ended October 2, 2016 was 3.70%. There was no Term Loan at September 27, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. For more information regarding the details of the customary affirmative and negative covenants, please refer to the full text of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 8, 2015 filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2015, which was filed on May 8, 2015, the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on December 11, 2015, and the Waiver and Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 10, 2016. For the quarter ended October 2, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement except the Adjusted Leverage Ratio and the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenants. For the quarter ended October 2, 2016 the Adjusted Leverage Ratio was 5.57:1.00, which is higher than the maximum Adjusted Leverage Ratio permitted by the Credit Agreement of 5.50:1.00 For the quarter ended October 2, 2016 our Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million, which is less than the minimum Adjusted EBITDA permitted by the Credit Agreement of $1.5 million for this quarter. It is an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if Borrowers fail to comply with either the Adjusted Leverage Ratio or minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant or any other covenant. Upon an Event of Default, the Lender has the right to declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans; all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other loan document to be immediately due and payable, as well as to exercise its other rights as a secured creditor. In addition, we are prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making dividends or distributions from one Borrower to another Borrower and purchasing common stock pursuant to a board-approved stock purchase program. On November 9, 2016, the Borrowers and Lender entered into a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement relating to the existing defaults during a Forbearance Period ending December 9, 2016 or on the earlier date of any other Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or breach of the Forbearance Agreement. Under the Forbearance Agreement we have agreed not to request and Wells Fargo is not obligated to make any further extensions of credit to us under the Credit Agreement. During the Forbearance Period, we intend to closely manage our expenses and cash balances to prevent a working capital shortfall. At November 9, 2016, the principal amount outstanding under the Facility was $9.9 million, along with approximately $595,000 in letters of credit for real estate locations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2016 the Company generated approximately $2.7 million in cash from operating activities compared to $2.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. As of October 2, 2016, the Company ended the third quarter with total net debt of approximately $5.8 million. This compares to $11.4 million of net debt as of September 27, 2015. During the Forbearance Period the Company intends to finalize its refinancing arrangement. As a result of the Events of Default at October 2, 2016 and given the length of the Forbearance Period, all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement were classified as current liabilities. |
