3.Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). The Company's trade accounts receivable are subject to this standard.The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
The Company’s trade accounts receivable is one portfolio comprised of commercial businesses operating in the U.S. and to a much lesser extent, Canada. The Company develops its allowances for credit losses, which represent an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables, considering customer financial condition, historical loss experience with its customers, current market economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions when appropriate. When the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the receivable to the expected amount to be collected. For the balance of its trade receivables, the Company uses a loss rate method to estimate its credit loss reserve. Historical loss experience rates are calculated using receivable write offs over a trailing twelve-month period and comparing that to the average receivable balances over the same period. That rate is applied to the current accounts receivable portfolio, excluding accounts that have been specifically reserved. Any write offs incurred are recorded against the established reserves.
The Company grants credit to commercial business customers using an electronic application process that evaluates the customer's detailed credit report, reference responses, availability under credit facilities, existing liens, tenure of management and business history, among other factors. Credit terms are typically net 30 days payment required with larger businesses eligible for up to net 90 day terms, if qualified.
The following is a rollforward of the allowances for credit losses related to trade accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2020:2021 (in millions):

5.Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income per common share - basic was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods presented using the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The two-class method was used as the Company has outstanding restricted stock with rights to dividend participation for unvested shares. Undistributed net income is allocated between common shares outstanding and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Undistributed net losses are not allocated to our participating securities as these participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Net income per common share - diluted was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and included the equivalent shares for dilutive options outstanding during the respective periods, including unvested options. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock issued by the Company is reflected in net income per share - diluted using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share under the two-class method for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020 (in millions, except for per share amounts):

6.Credit Facilities
The Company maintains a $75 million secured revolving credit facility with 1 financial institution, which has a five year term, maturing on October 28, 2021 and provides for borrowings in the United States. The Company is in the process of renewing this facility on similar terms and expects to extend the term of the agreement for five years before its expiration in October 2021. The credit agreement contains certain operating, financial and other covenants, including limits on annual levels of capital expenditures, availability tests related to payments of dividends and stock repurchases and fixed charge coverage tests related to acquisitions. The revolving credit agreement requires that a minimum level of availability be maintained. If such availability is not maintained, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined). The borrowings under the agreement are subject to borrowing base limitations of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and the inventory advance rate computed as the lesser of 60% or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (“NOLV”). Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, as defined, including all accounts, accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions, including the exclusion of certain foreign assets from the collateral. The interest rate under the amended and restated facility is computed at applicable market rates based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability. As of June 30, 2020,2021, eligible collateral under the credit agreement was $75.0 million, total availability was $73.0 million, total outstanding letters of credit were $1.6 million, totaland excess availability was $71.4$72.5 million, and there were 0 outstanding borrowings. The Company has restricted cash collateralizing letters of credit outstanding of $1.1 million at June 30, 2021 recorded within Other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement in place as of June 30, 2020.2021.
7.Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820). The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Fair value accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value standards establish the fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuation techniques. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 is the highest priority and Level 3 is the lowest priority):
| | | | | |
Level 1 - | Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. |
Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity |
Financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, trade accounts receivable, debt and accounts payable. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments based on interest rates available to the Company. At June 30, 20202021 and 2019,December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. Cash is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value with respect to goodwill, non-amortizing intangibles and long-lived assets is measured in connection with the Company’s annual impairment testing. The Company operates in 1 reporting unit and in the fourth quarter of each year performs a quantitative assessment of its goodwill by comparing the Company's fair market value, or market capitalization, to the carrying value of the Company, including goodwill, to determine if impairment exists. Any excess of the carrying amount over fair value would be charged to impairment expense.
Long-lived assets are assets used in the Company’s operations and include definite-lived intangible assets, leasehold improvements, warehouse and similar property used to generate sales and cash flows. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment utilizing a recoverability test. The recoverability test compares the carrying value of an asset group to the undiscounted cash flows directly attributable to the asset group over the life of the primary asset. If the undiscounted cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value of the asset group, the fair value of the asset group is then measured. If the fair value is also determined to be less than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is impaired.
8.Stock Repurchases
TheIn July 2018 the Company's Board of Directors in July 2018, approved a share repurchase program with a repurchase authorization of up to 2000000 shares of the Company's common stock. During the first six months of 2021, 0 shares were repurchased.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased 50,201 common shares for approximately $0.9 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 283,450 common shares for approximately $4.8 million under its shareshares repurchase authorization.
9.Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings which may include commercial, employment, tax, customs and trade, customer, vendor, personal injury, products liability, creditors rights and health and safety law matters, including workers compensation claims, which are handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters are covered by the Company’s insurance policies, subject to customary deductibles. In addition, the Company is from time to time subjected to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for damages and/or indemnification concerning sales channel practices and intellectual property matters, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of products the Company sells or that are incorporated in the Company’s e-commerce sales channels, as well as trademark/copyright infringement claims. The Company is also audited by (or has initiated voluntary disclosure agreements with) various U.S. Federal and state authorities, as well as Canadian authorities, concerning potential income tax, sales tax and/or "unclaimed property" liabilities. These matters are in various stages of investigation, negotiation and/or litigation. The Company's NATG subsidiariesdiscontinued operations are also being audited by an entity representing 2827 states seeking recovery of “unclaimed property” and has received separate demands from 2019 states requesting payments of their claimed amounts. The Company is complyinghas complied with the unclaimed property audit, is providinghas provided requested information and is correspondinghas corresponded with the states regarding possible further discussions. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters and believes it has strong defenses.
Although the Company does not expect, based on currently available information, that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, the ultimate outcome is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. The Company regularly assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable and estimable. In this regard, the Company establishes accrual estimates for its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred at the date of the financial statements and the loss can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 20202021 the Company has established accruals for certain of its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings based upon estimates of the most likely outcome in a range of loss or the minimum amounts in a range of loss if no amount within a range is a more likely estimate. The Company does not believe that at June 30, 20202021 any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued would be material to the financial statements.

Operating Conditions
The North American industrial products market is highly fragmented and we compete against multiple distribution channels. Industrial products distribution is working capital intensive, requiring us to incur significant costs associated with the warehousing of many products, including the costs of maintaining inventory, leasing warehouse space, inventory management systems and employing personnel to perform the associated tasks. We supplement our on-hand product availability by maintaining relationships with major distributors and manufacturers, utilizing a combination of stock and drop-shipment fulfillment.
The primary component of our operating expenses historically has been employee-related costs, which includes items such as wages, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and equity basedequity-based compensation, as well as marketing expenses, primarily comprised of digital marketing spend, and occupancy related charges associated with our leased distribution and call center facilities. We continually assess our operations to ensure that they are efficient, aligned with market conditions and responsive to customer needs.

Revenue forstrong top line performance in the second quarter recoveredas revenue increased 12.6% to $272.6. million, its fourth consecutive quarter of double digit growth. Sales reflect a strong pricing environment as well as growth in most core categories. Sales of pandemic related products and supplies declined substantially after being down 20% through late Marchon both a year over year and much of April by finishing down only 2.6% for the quarter. Trends improvedsequential basis as businesses reopened and safety measures were eased across our selling markets. Weekly revenue accelerated as we moved through the quarter, however, as we recorded 4.3% revenueour prior year sales improved into June, our rate of growth slowed from 30% plus in April, to low single digits in May and 6.4% growth in June; this accelerating growth trend has continued into July. Revenue performance was driven by growth in personal protection equipment ("PPE"), an expanding pandemicJune. Gross margin, including both product line,and freight margin improved substantially on both a year over year and sequential monthlybasis. Freight margin pressures in the first quarter were largely transitional as we moved to a new third party logistics ("3PL") partner, and we completed that transition earlier than previously anticipated. Most of those costs did not recur during the second quarter. Product margins also showed improvement primarily associated with an improved mix into fulfillment of in core non-PPEstock and private label goods, as well as incremental price capture more than offsetting product lines as businesses begancost increases taken in the quarter. In the period, the timing of cost and price increases, including the benefit of selling through lower cost first in, first out ("FIFO") inventory provided a premium to reopen. However, we can give no assurance that the recent positive trends discussed above will continue, that our businessgross margin. This timing benefit will not be materially adversely affected by further pandemic developments, including continuing delayas impactful in businessfuture quarters, but the company's goal is to maintain a price and school re-openings,cost balance as we navigate this inflationary market, while at the same time offering a further resurgence of the coronavirus, or the general adverse effect on the economy and our customers these developments could cause.competitive price position.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period. Significant accounting policies employed by the Company, including the use of estimates, were presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, and involve uncertainties. The accounting policies that have been identified as critical to our business operations and understanding the results of operations pertain to leases, revenue recognition; accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts;credit losses; inventory valuation; goodwill and intangible assets; long-lived assets; and income taxes. The application of each of these critical accounting policies and estimates was discussed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. There have been no significant changes in the application of critical accounting policies or estimates during 2020.2021. Management believes that full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances that we may be subject to, and the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company accurately reflect management’s best estimate of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Because of the uncertainty in these estimates, actual results could differ from estimates used in applying the critical accounting policies. We are not aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances which would result in different amounts being reported that would materially affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These authorities issue numerous pronouncements, most of which are not applicable to the Company’s current or reasonably foreseeable operating structure.

NET SALES
The Company's net sales decreased 2.6%increased 12.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 reflecting2021 as the continued impactCompany's sales reflect strong sales of seasonal products, a beneficial pricing environment, and strong customer demand for our private label products. Total customer demand in the COVID-19 pandemic. Duringsecond quarter outpaced our realized growth rate of 12.6% as open orders increased as we moved through the period due to supply chain constraints which delayed our ability to fulfill select orders. Demand accelerated as we moved through the quarter revenue was up 4.3% in May and 6.4%on an absolute basis, however, our rate of growth slowed to approximately 3% in June after declining by 20.0% through muchdue to both the previously mentioned increase in open orders as well as the fact that our prior year comparatives showed improvement due to the surge of April. Second quarter revenue was impacted by business shutdownsdemand for safety and other personal protective equipment ("PPE") product last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased 11.6% reflecting a continued shiftrecovery in core categories and solid customer product demand mix away from core product lines and into sourcing, cleaning, PPE, and other direct response COVID-19 related items. While the supply chain for nationally branded PPE was and continues to be constrained, the Company was able to source and fulfill many of these high demand products under our own private label brands. In addition, as businesses began to reopen, the Company was able to showcase its broader everyday facility solutions product offering which our customers require to open safely. Net sales were minimally impacted by a net change to its sales backlog as it remained relatively flat to values held at the conclusion of the first quarter.products.

GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin is dependent on variables such as product mix including sourcing and category, competition, pricing strategy, vendor volume rebates, freight pricing decisions including the use of free or other promotional freight andplans, freight discounting arrangements,cost inflation including both domestic outbound freight as well as international inbound ocean freight, inventory valuation and obsolescence and other variables, any or all of which have in the past and may in the future result in fluctuations in gross margin. The Company expects to see continued margin variability due to the current economic environment, inflationary pressures on both transportation and raw material costs, changes in mix as a result of the normalization of our customer’s strong demand of PPE and other related products, and historical seasonality.
Gross margin improved by 40100 basis points in the second quarter of 20202021 as compared to the second quarter of 20192020 and decreased 20improved by 520 basis points sequentially as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Improvement on a year over year basis was primarily the result of mix between in stock and private label products, as well as price capture which provided a net margin benefit as sell price was realized in advance of selling through higher cost inventory. These changes also contributed to the sequential quarterly improvement, but were supplemented by a reduction in transportation costs as we completed our 3PL conversion early in May, as well as a significantly reduced impact of changes to our inventory reserve that were recognized in the first quarter related to the write down of certain PPE products. Gross margin declined approximately 90 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared2021 attributable to prior year. Margin improvement inmultiple factors including an inventory write-down of $2.7 million related to certain PPE products, transitional costs incurred when moving to our 3PL partner and continued ocean freight pricing pressures partially offset by favorable product margins as the quarter was primarily associated with a product mix shift to in stock and private label productsoffering captured a larger share of our sales mix. Margin variability is still likely period to period as inflationary pressures in product costs, domestic transportation, and ocean freight rates continue to be a risk to the higher margins these sourcing channels provide as compared to nationally branded products fulfilled through a drop ship channel.business.
SELLING, DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“SD&A”)
SD&A costs as a percentage of sales increased 20 basis points compared withto the second quarter of 2019 and was flat compared to prior year for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This SD&A ratio result reflects the impact of lower sales on the Company's fixed cost structure, partially offset by efficiencies in our digital marketing efforts, as well as the benefit of a reduction in force action in April 2020. In the second quarter of 2020,2021, the significant cost decrease was lower net internet advertising spendincreases primarily reflect the increased marketing investment of approximately $4.2$2.5 million to support customer demand shift to core product lines and private label and away from PPE, partially offset by fixed cost leverage as sales volume grew. Other cost increases include increased salary, healthcare and other employee related costs of approximately $1.6$1.8 million, of which $1.2 million related to higher variable compensation earned by the sales force. Also included within salary and related costs was approximately $0.8 million related to reduction in force initiated by the Company in April 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on operations offset by savings in other salary and related costs, increased office supplies expense of approximately $0.2 million related to work from home transitions due to COVID-19, increased consulting and professional fees of approximately $0.6$1.2 million related to our continuing customer centric strategy initiatives and our e-commerce optimization project, and increased temporary labor costs of approximately $0.9 million as distribution center labor availability remains tight. Additional increased rent and related costs and insurance expense of approximately $0.7$0.6 million and other increased fixed costs largely associated with the opening of our Dallas distribution center in the second half of 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the significant cost decreases were lower net internet advertising spend of approximately $5.5 million, lower equity compensation expensedues and subscription fees of approximately $0.4 million, offset by increased salary and related costs of approximately $0.3 million, of which $0.6 million related to higher variable compensation earned by the sales force. Also included within salary and related costs was approximately $0.8 million related to reduction in force initiatedmillion.

SD&A costs as a percentage of sales decreased 20 basis points compared to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on operations, offset by savings in other salary and related costs, increased office supplies expense of approximately $0.2 million related to work from home transitions due to COVID-19, increased consulting and professional fees of approximately $0.5 million, and increased rent and related costs and insurance expense of approximately $1.6 million. Costs declines seen in the second quarter of 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 20202020. This improved SD&A leverage reflects fixed cost leverage resulting from the sales growth in the period. Significant cost increases include approximately $3.7 million of increased salary, healthcare and other employee related primarily tocosts, approximately $2.1 million of increased temporary help/help wanted advertising spend in certain of our warehouses and back office functions, $2.3 million of increased net internet advertising spend.spend to support customer demand shift to core product lines and private label products, $1.0 million of increased rent and related costs offset by an insurance recovery of approximately $0.4 million.

OPERATING MARGIN
Operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 improved by 80 basis points compared to the second quarter in 2020. As discussed above, this improvement was driven by improved gross margins, partially offset by a slight increase in SD&A expense as a percentage of sales.
Operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 declined by 70 basis points compared to the same period in 2019 and decreased 20 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our primary liquidity needs are to support working capital requirements in our business fundingand to fund recently declared and any future dividends, funding treasury share repurchases, funding capital expenditures, continuing investment in upgrading and expanding our technological capabilities and information technology infrastructure specifically related to our e-commerce shopping experience, and sales force productivity and automation, continuing investment in upgrading and expanding our distribution footprint, and funding acquisitions. We rely principally upon operating cash flow to meet these needs. We currently believe that current cash on hand and cash flow from operations and our availability under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months inclusive of a continuation of current business conditions. We also believe our current capital structure and cash resources are adequate for our internal growth initiatives. To the extent our growth initiatives expand, including major acquisitions, we would seek to raise additional capital. We believe that, if needed, we can access public or private funding alternatives to raise additional capital.
Our working capital decreased $23.8increased $24.6 million primarily related to decreasedincreased cash, balances after payment of the $43.3 million dividend declared in February 2020accounts receivable, and the quarterly dividend paid in May 2020 of $5.3 millionreduced accrued expenses and increasing accounts payable and accrued expense balancesother current liabilities partially offset by increased accounts receivable and inventorypayable balances. Our inventory balance increase is partially associated with strategic investment in PPE items in light of COVID-19, as well as, increased stocking levels of certain core products which turned slower in the second quarter of 2020 given some lower demand on core product lines. Accounts receivable days outstanding were 36.4 in 2021 compared to 38.0 in 2020 compared to 35.2 in 2019.2020. Inventory turns were 5.4 in 2021 and 2020 compared to 6.0 in 2019 and accounts payable days outstanding were 67.5 in 2021 compared to 71.9 in 2020 compared to 64.6 in 2019.2020. We expect that future accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable balances will fluctuate with net sales and the product mix of our net sales.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $20.5 million compared to $13.4 million resulting from changes in our working capital accounts, which used $14.9$7.9 million in cash in 2021 compared to $20.2$14.9 million providedused in 2019,2020, primarily the result of the changes in inventory, balancesaccounts receivable, income taxes and accounts receivablespayable balances. Cash generated from net income adjusted by other non-cash items provided $28.3$28.4 million compared to $29.9$28.3 million providedin 2020 primarily due to higher net income generated in the six months ended June 30, 2021 offset by these items in 2019, primarily related tothe reversal of the valuation allowances against the net income from continuing operations in 2020operating losses and reduced compensation expense related to equity compensation plans in 2020 compared to 2019. In the first quarterdeferred tax assets of 2019, the Company repriced approximately 0.6 million shares of outstanding stock options and recorded approximately $0.6 million of related compensation expense.our Canadian subsidiary. Net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $1.0$11.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.1 million and was primarily for warehouse machinery and equipment for the recent expansion of our New Jersey distribution center. Net cash used in investing activities in 2020 totaled $0.4 million primarily for leasehold improvements, warehouse machinery and equipment and molds. Net cash used in investing activities in 2019 totaled $2.4 million primarily related to the Texas distribution center and other various warehouse projects including: wire decking, in-rack sprinkler system and warehouse lighting project.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $11.5 million in 2021 primarily related to the regular quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share, which totaled approximately $12.5 million. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from stock option exercises, net of payments for payroll taxes through shares withheld totaled $0.5 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our employee stock purchase plan totaled $0.5 million. Net cash used in financing activities in 2020 totaled $53.0 million primarily related to the special dividend of $1.00 declared in February 2020 and the regular quarterly dividends of $0.14 per share, which totaled approximately $48.6 million and repurchases of treasury shares of $4.8 million. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from employee stock purchase plan was $0.4 million and proceeds from stock option exercises was $0.3 million, offset by payments of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation through shares withheld of $0.3 million. In 2019, net cash used in financing activities totaled $252.3 million primarily related to the special dividend declared in December 2018 and paid in January 2019 of $243.5 million and the regular quarterly dividends of $4.5 million each. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from employee stock purchase plan was $0.4 million and proceeds from stock option exercises was $0.6 million offset by payments of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation through shares withheld of $0.8 million.
The Company maintains a $75.0 million secured revolving credit facility with one financial institution, which has a five year term, maturing on October 28, 2021 and provides for borrowings in the United States. The Company is in the process of renewing this facility on similar terms and expects to extend the term of the agreement for five years before its expiration in October 2021. The credit agreement contains certain operating, financial and other covenants, including limits on annual levels of capital expenditures, availability tests related to payments of dividends and stock repurchases and fixed charge coverage tests related to acquisitions. The revolving credit agreement requires that a minimum level of availability be maintained. If such availability is not maintained, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined). The borrowings under the agreement are subject to borrowing base limitations of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and the inventory advance rate computed as the lesser of 60% or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (“NOLV”). Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, as defined, including all accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions, including the exclusion of certain foreign assets from the collateral. The interest rate under the amended and restated facility is computed at applicable market rates based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability. As of June 30, 2020,2021, eligible collateral under the credit agreement was $75.0 million, total availability was $73.0 million, total outstanding letters of credit were $1.6 million,and excess availability was $71.4$72.5 million and there were no outstanding borrowings. The Company has restricted cash collateralizing letters of credit outstanding of $1.1 million at June 30, 2021 recorded within Other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement in place as of June 30, 2020.2021.
We also have certain obligations with various parties that include commitments to make future payments. Our principal commitments at June 30, 20202021 consisted of payments under operating leases for certain of our real property and equipment and payments under employment, product and other service agreements.

Levels of earnings and cash flows are dependent on factors such as consolidated gross margin and selling, distribution and administrative costs, product mix and relative levels of domestic and foreign sales. Unusual gains or expense items, such as special (gains) charges and settlements, may impact earnings and are separately disclosed. We expect that past performance may not be indicative of future performance due to the competitive nature of our business where the need to adjust prices to gain or hold market share is prevalent.
Macroeconomic conditions, such as business and consumer sentiment, may affect our revenues, cash flows or financial condition. However, we do not believe that there is a direct correlation between any specific macroeconomic indicator and our revenues, cash flows or financial condition. We are not currently interest rate sensitive, as we have minimalno debt.
The expenses and capital expenditures described above will require significant levels of liquidity, which we believe can be adequately funded from our currently available cash resources. In 20202021 we continue to anticipate capital expenditures in the range of $3.0$5.0 to $5.0$7.0 million, though at this time we are not contractually committed to incur these expenditures.
Historically we have engaged in opportunistic acquisitions, choosing to pay the purchase price in cash, and may do so in the future as favorable situations arise. However, a deep and prolonged period of reduced business spending could adversely impact our cash resources and force us to either forego future acquisition opportunities or to pay the purchase price in debt, which could have an adverse effect on our earnings. We believe that cash balances and future cash flows from operations and our availability under credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds or their equivalent that have maturities of less than three months and in non-interest bearing accounts that partially offset banking fees. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had no investments with maturities of greater than three months. Accordingly, we do not believe that our investments have significant exposure to interest rate risk. At June 30, 20202021 cash balances held in foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $4.8$5.7 million. These balances are held in local country banks. The Company had in excess of $124$109 million of liquidity (cash, restricted cash and undrawn line of credit) in the U.S. as of June 30, 2020, which is sufficient to fund its U.S. operations and capital needs, including dividend payments, for the foreseeable future.2021.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements.
The Company has not created, and is not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating the Company’s business. The Company does not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into the financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s liquidity or the availability of capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. and international interest rates as well as changes in currency exchange rates (principally Canadian dollars) as measured against the U.S. dollar and each other.
The translation of the financial statements of our operations outside of the United States is impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively affect income statement, balance sheet and cash flows as expressed in U.S. dollars. We have limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and do not use them for trading purposes. We may enter into foreign currency options or forward exchange contracts aimed at limiting in part the impact of certain currency fluctuations, but as of June 30, 20202021 we had no outstanding option or forward exchange contracts.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt. Our variable rate debt consists of short-term borrowings under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2020,2021, there were no outstanding balances under our variable rate credit facility. A hypothetical change in average interest rates of one percentage point is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020.2021. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings which may include commercial, employment, tax, customs and trade, customer, vendor, personal injury, products liability, creditors rights and health and safety law matters, including workers compensation claims, which are handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters are covered by the Company’s insurance policies, subject to customary deductibles. In addition, the Company is from time to time subjected to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for damages and/or indemnification concerning sales channel practices and intellectual property matters, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated inFor a broad spectrum of products the Company sells or that are incorporated in the Company’s e-commerce sales channels as well as trademark/copyright infringement claims. The Company is also audited by (or has initiated voluntary disclosure agreements with) various U.S. Federal and state authorities, as well as Canadian authorities, concerning potential income tax, sales tax and/or "unclaimed property" liabilities. These matters are in various stages of investigation, negotiation and/or litigation. The Company is also being audited by an entity representing 28 states seeking recovery of “unclaimed property” and has received separate demands from 20 states requesting payments of their claimed amounts. The Company is complying with the unclaimed property audit, is providing requested information and is corresponding with the states regarding possible further discussions. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters and believes it has strong defenses.
Although the Company does not expect, based on currently available information, that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, the ultimate outcome is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. The Company regularly assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable and estimable. In this regard, the Company establishes accrual estimates for its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred at the date of the financial statements and the loss can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2020 the Company has established accruals for certain of its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings based upon estimates of the most likely outcome in a range of loss or the minimum amounts in a range of loss if no amount within a range is a more likely estimate. The Company does not believe that at June 30, 2020 any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued would be material to the financial statements.
Item 5. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
