To finance the acquisition of the electronic chemicals business in December 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement and a note purchase agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is now with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and with Bank of America, N.A. The note purchase agreement is now with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Pruco Life Insurance Company. | |||||||||
Initially, the amended and restated credit agreement included a revolving loan facility and a term loan facility. The term loan was paid off in fiscal year 2012, and that aspect of the facility has been removed. The Company amended these facilities several times, most recently in April and in May 2013 to increase the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving loan up to $110.0 million, to include an accordion feature that allows for an additional revolving loan increase of up to $25.0 million from current or additional lenders willing to participate, to extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility to April 30, 2018, and to include a mandatory reduction in revolving loan commitment of $10.0 million each year from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2017 totaling $40.0 million. The matrix for the calculation of interest payable on the revolving loan facility and the method for the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio were also revised. | |||||||||
The revolving loan bears interest at a varying rate of LIBOR plus a margin based on our funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). | |||||||||
Ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA | Margin | ||||||||
Equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0 | 2.25 | % | |||||||
Equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.5 to 1.0 | 2 | % | |||||||
Equal to or greater than 1.5 to 1.0, but less than 2.0 to 1.0 | 1.75 | % | |||||||
Less than 1.5 to 1.0 | 1.5 | % | |||||||
Advances outstanding under the revolving loan bear interest at 2.15% and 1.69% as of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively. The amount outstanding on the revolving loan at April 30, 2014 was $52.0 million, and an additional $3.5 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit. The amount that may be borrowed under the revolving facility is limited by a covenant for funded debt to pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, and at April 30, 2014 that limitation restricts the Company’s borrowing capacity to $19.9 million. | |||||||||
The note purchase agreement is for $20.0 million. Advances under the note purchase agreement mature on December 31, 2014, and bear interest at 7.43% per annum. Principal is payable at maturity. At April 30, 2014, $20.0 million was outstanding under the note purchase agreement. | |||||||||
Loans under the amended and restated credit agreement and the note purchase agreement are secured by the Company’s assets, including inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, intangible assets, and real property. The credit facility and the note purchase agreement have restrictive covenants, including that the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or greater, a ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (as adjusted for extraordinary items, with lender consent) of 3.0 to 1.0 or below, and a current ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0. |

11. Income Taxes | |
Income tax expense for the interim periods was computed using the effective tax rate based on the application of an estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date income before income tax expense. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, we analyze various factors, including forecasts of projected annual earnings and the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards. The overall effective income tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014 is 34.9% and 110.5%, respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowances recorded during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 against the Company’s current and prior period operating losses for its Italian subsidiary, as a result of the restructuring of those operations. Excluding the Italian results, the estimated annual effective tax rate on ordinary income is 31.3% and 32.0% for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2013, the overall effective rate was 26.2% and 34.1%. In general, differences between the effective tax rates and the rate of 35.0%, excluding for the effect of restructuring charges and operational results in Italy, are primarily due to foreign and state income taxes, and the distribution of income between the U.S. and foreign operations. In addition, the Company recognized $190,000 of discrete items benefits in the three months ended April 30, 2014. |

The Company is subject to contingencies, including litigation relating to environmental laws and regulations, commercial disputes and other matters. Certain of these contingencies are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty, and should the Company fail to prevail in any of them or should several of them be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, these matters could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements. The ultimate outcome of these matters, however, cannot be determined at this time, nor can the amount of any potential loss be reasonably estimated, and as a result except where indicated no amounts have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. | |
A lawsuit was filed against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KMG de Mexico, relating to the title to the land on which its facility in Matamoros is located. The plaintiffs claim that their title to the land is superior to the person from whom our subsidiary bought the land. The plaintiffs are seeking to have our subsidiary’s purchase overturned, and to recover the land and certain improvements or their value. The lawsuit was initially filed in 1998 in Matamoros, Mexico under Adolfo Cazares Rosas, et al vs. KMG de Mexico and Guillermo Villarreal. In January 2008, the case was sent by the appeals court back to the lower court to obtain additional factual information, and on April 20, 2009 the plaintiffs were required to re-file the case in the First Civil Court in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico as Adolfo Cazares, Luis Escudero and Juan Cue vs. KMG de Mexico and Guillermo Villarreal. In June 2011 the lower court ruled against KMG de Mexico, and held that the plaintiffs had superior title to the land, but that verdict was overturned on appeal in May 2012, and the case will be returned to the trial court for further action. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend KMG de Mexico. | |
The Company’s subsidiary in Italy has filed suit in the Provincial Tax Court in Milan, Italy to contest assessments by the taxing authority in Italy pertaining to the three year period ended July 31, 2011. In the aggregate, the amount of the assessments, including interest and penalties, is €1.8 million. If all the adjustments are sustained, the additional liability for the years 2009 through 2011 would total approximately $2.4 million, including interest and penalties through April 30, 2014 (at an exchange rate of 1.36 $/€). The Company recorded a liability for an uncertain tax position for items in the amount of $437,000. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its position before the court, but the ultimate outcome of this litigation is subject to uncertainty. | |
The Company’s subsidiary in Italy has filed suit in the Provincial Court in Milan, Italy to contest the assessment of additional registration tax against the Company’s subsidiary in Italy based on an increased valuation of assets purchased from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. in December 2007. The amount of the assessment, including interest and penalties through April 30, 2014, is €784,000 (or approximately $1.1 million, at an exchange rate of 1.36 $/€). The ultimate outcome of this assessment is subject to uncertainty. | |
The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and potential liabilities relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety including, among other things, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the treatment, storage and disposal of wastes, the emission of substances into the air or waterways, and various health and safety matters. The Company expects to incur substantial costs for ongoing compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company may also face governmental or third-party claims, or otherwise incur costs, relating to cleanup of, or for injuries resulting from, contamination at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company accrues for environmental liabilities when a determination can be made that they are probable and reasonably estimable. |
