(UNAUDITED)
Vendor Managed Inventory - The VMI program includes terms that meet the “bill and hold” criteria and as such are recognized when the order is placed, title has transferred, there are no acceptance provisions and amounts are segregated in the Company’s warehouse for the customer. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded revenue from inventory builds that are held in vendor managed inventory under these service agreements of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of solutions sold through that date were held in vendor managed inventory pending fulfillment or shipment to patients of pharmaceutical manufacturers who offer these solutions to patients in an ongoing patient support program.
Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertainty of the realization of certain federal and state deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes. The Company's deferred tax liability of $0.3 million includes $0.4 million of the accumulated tax expense related to the effect of indefinite lived assets, such as goodwill, which cannot be used as a source of future taxable income in evaluating the need for a valuation against deferred tax assets net of $0.1 million deferred tax asset for recoverable alternative minimum tax credits pursuant to the 2017 tax reform for which no valuation allowance is required. Prepaid and other current assets include realizable income taxes receivable associated with refundable alternative minimum tax credits of $0.1 million.
Leases: In February 2016, guidance for leases was issued, which supersedes the lease requirements previously followed by the Company. The new guidance requires balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to assets and liabilities for existing leases as of July 1, 2019. The Company recognized an additional operating lease liability of $4.6 million, with a corresponding right of use (“ROU”) asset of the same amount based on the present value of the payment amounts the Company expects to make over the expected term of the underlying leases, including renewal periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The impact that the new accounting guidance had on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included the following:
| |
• | Approximately 50 leases have been identified, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. For these real estate, field equipment, office equipment and vehicle operating leases, we recognized a new ROU asset and lease liability on our balance sheet. |
| |
• | The Company applied the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to (i) contracts containing leases, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs. The Company did not adopt the practical expediency surrounding the use of hindsight to determine lease term, termination and purchase options, or in assessing impairment of ROU assets. |
| |
• | The Company made the accounting policy election to exclude the ROU asset and liability for short-term leases, or leases with terms of twelve months or less, therefore the lease payments will be recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term with no ROU asset or lease liability recorded. |
| |
• | The Company has elected to exclude non-lease components of a lease arrangement from the ROU asset and lease liability for certain asset classes such as real estate and field equipment leases but includes non-lease components of a lease arrangement in the ROU asset and lease liability for office equipment and automobiles. Non-lease components for field equipment, which include vehicle maintenance costs which the Company estimates based on third party evidence, are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability and are expensed each month. |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Right of Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease asset and liability amounts are measured and recognized based on payment amounts the Company expects to make over the expected term of the underlying leases, including renewal periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The lease liability for leases expected to be settled in twelve-months or less are classified as current liabilities. The general terms of the Company’s lease agreements require monthly payments. Some of the Company’s leases escalate either by a fixed amount. Certain of the Company’s leases, which provide for variable lease payments based on index-based (i.e., the US Consumer Price Index) adjustments to lease payments over the term of the lease, will be measured at the lease rate effective at the commencement of the lease or upon adoption, as applicable. Because the Company does not generally have access to the rate implicit in its leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for measuring the lease liability. At commencement, the operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are the same, with adjustments to the ROU asset for lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate or purchase its ROU assets at the commencement of the lease and on an ongoing basis and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company has determined that one lease arrangement's renewal option to extend lease terms from the original maturity of August 2021 to August 2031 is reasonably certain to be exercised due to the costs associated with relocating the lease to another location (including permitting cost as well as specialized equipment). The Company evaluates lease modifications as they occur and records such as a separate lease or an adjustment to the existing ROU asset and lease liability as appropriate.
Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Accounts receivable balances are determined to be delinquent when the amount is past due based on the contractual terms with the customer. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the likelihood of not collecting certain accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified among uncollected accounts. Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that the receivable will not be collected and/or when the account has been referred to a third party collection agency. The Company has a history of minimal uncollectible accounts.
Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets: Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying values may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. The Company generally performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis using a quantitative approach. The quantitative goodwill impairment test identifies the existence of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of our single reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the reporting unit's goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The impairment charge recognized is limited to the amount of goodwill present in our single reporting unit. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the amount of any such charge. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company determined that there was no impairment during the prior year ended June 30, 2019 and there have been no triggering events since that date that would warrant further impairment testing.
Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation cost for options and restricted stock awarded to employees and directors is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company considers the fair value of all financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable to approximate their carrying values at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates fair value due to the market rates of interest.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 9.0% reflecting primarily deferred tax expense related to the effect of indefinite lived assets, such as goodwill, which cannot be used as a source of future taxable income in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as well as estimated state income tax. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded total income tax expense of $68 thousand, consisting of estimated federal income tax expense of $29 thousand and estimated state income tax expense of $39 thousand. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a total income tax expense of $37 thousand, consisting of a federal tax expense of $33 thousand and estimated state income tax expense of $4 thousand.
NOTE 5 – LEASES
The Company has operating leases for real estate, field equipment, office equipment and vehicles. Operating leases are included in Operating Lease ROU Asset and Operating Lease Liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, lease cost amounts, which reflect the fixed rent expense associated with operating leases, are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
|

| Three-Months Ended September 30, |

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a commercial bank which was subsequently amended on June 29, 2018 to extend the maturity date by two years to March 29, 2021 for the working capital portion of the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $14.0 million credit facility, the proceeds of which may be utilized as follows: (i) $6.0 million for working capital, letters of credit (up to $2.0 million) and general corporate purposes and (ii) $8.0 million for acquisitions. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets with advances outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at any time limited to a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50% of eligible inventory and (ii) $3.0 million. Advances under the acquisition portion of the credit facility are limited to 75% of the purchase price of an acquired company and convert to a five-year term note at the time of the borrowing. Borrowings bear interest at the greater of (a) zero percent or (b) the One Month ICE LIBOR plus a LIBOR Margin of 2.5%. The LIBOR Margin may increase to as high as 3.0% depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of September 30, 2019 was approximately 4.64%. The Company pays a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility.
On August 21, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Construction and Term Loan Agreement and a Master Equipment Finance Agreement with its existing commercial bank (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year, $3.2 million facility, the proceeds of which are to be utilized for expenditures to facilitate future growth at the Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas (the “Texas Treatment Facility”) as follows: (i) $2.0 million for planned improvements and (ii) $1.2 million for equipment. Indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is secured by the Company’s real estate investment and equipment at the Texas Treatment Facility. Advances under the Loan Agreement mature five years from the Closing Date ("August 21, 2019") with monthly payments based on a 20-year amortization for the real estate portion and on a 6-year amortization for the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement. Borrowings during the advancing period for the real estate portion and for the entire term of the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement bear interest computed at the One Month ICE LIBOR, plus two-hundred and fifty (250) basis points which was a rate of 4.64% on September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into a forward rate lock to fix the rate on the real estate portion of the Loan Agreement at the expiration of the advancing period at 4.15%.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to common stock options and restricted stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the outstanding common stock options are considered dilutive using the treasury stock method.
The Company’s restricted stock awards are treated as outstanding for earnings per share calculations since these shares have full voting rights and are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares, if any, and undistributed earnings. As participating securities, the shares of restricted stock are included in the calculation of basic EPS using the two-class method. For the periods presented, the amount of earnings allocated to the participating securities was not material.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $13.6 million increased compared to the total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $10.3 million.

*Represents the net impact of the revenue recognition adjustments to arrive at reported generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") revenue. Customer billings include all invoiced amounts for products shipped or services rendered during the period reported. GAAP revenue includes customer billings as well as numerous adjustments necessary to reflect, (i) the deferral of a portion of current period sales, (ii) recognition of certain revenue associated with product returned for treatment and destruction and (iii) provisions for certain rebates, product returns and discounts to customers which are accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. Most of the difference between customer billings and GAAP revenue is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as Contract Liability.

The increase in billings was mainly attributable to increased billings in the Retail ($1.9 million), Home Health Care ($1.4 million) and the Professional ($0.5 million) markets. The increase in Retail market billings was due to increased billings for flu-shot related orders and unused medication solutions. The increase in Home Health Care market billings was due primarily to an expanded relationship with a major healthcare distributor, including additional ordres as well as large stocking orders. The increase in Professional market billings reflected organic growth as the Company continued its focus on securing customers from the small to medium quantity generator sector made up of physicians, clinics, dentists, surgery centers, veterinarians and other healthcare professionals, who benefit from the cost-effective and convenient Sharps Recovery SystemTM and the Company’s route-based pick-up services. Billings for Mailbacks increased 38% to $7.7 million as compared to $5.6 million in the prior year period and represented 54% of total billings. Billings for Route-Based Pickup Services increased 25% to $2.7 million as compared to $2.1 million in the prior year period and represented 19% of total billings. Billings for Unused Medications increased 45% to $2.4 million as compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period and represented 17% of total billings.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $9.1 million was 67% of revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $6.9 million was 67% of revenues. The gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of 33.0% increased compared to the gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of 32.6%. Gross margin was positively impacted for the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to higher revenues than in the prior period.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $3.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase in SG&A expense was due to continued investments in sales and marketing as well as increased professional fees incurred.
The Company reported operating income of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $0.1 million in the prior year period. Operating income increased primarily due to higher gross margin (discussed above).
The Company reported income before income taxes of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $0.1 million for the prior year period. Income before income taxes increased due to the increase in operating income (discussed above).
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 9.0% and 34.6%, respectively, primarily due to deferred tax expense related to indefinite lived assets, such as goodwill, which cannot be used as a source of future taxable income in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and state income taxes.
The Company reported net income of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a net income of $0.1 million for the prior year period. Net income increased due to the increase in the operating income (discussed above).
The Company reported basic and diluted income per share of $0.04 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $0.00 for the prior year period.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
The Company continues to focus on core markets and solution offerings that fuel growth. Its key markets include healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, home healthcare providers, assisted living/long-term care, retail pharmacies and clinics, and the professional market which is comprised of physicians, dentists, surgery centers and veterinary practices. These markets require cost-effective services for managing medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste.
The Company believes its growth opportunities are supported by the following:
| |
• | A large professional market that consists of dentists, veterinarians, clinics, private practice physicians, urgent care facilities, ambulatory surgical centers and other healthcare facilities. This regulated market consists of small to medium quantity generators of medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste where we can offer a lower cost to service with solutions to match individual facility needs. The Company addresses this market from two directions: (i) field sales which focus on larger-dollar and nationwide opportunities where we can integrate the route-based pickup service along with our mailback solutions to create a comprehensive medical waste management offering and (ii) inside and online sales which focus on the individual or small group professional offices, government agencies, smaller retail pharmacies and clinics and assisted living/long-term care facilities. The Company is able to compete more aggressively in the medium quantity generator market with the addition of route-based services where the mailback may not be as cost effective. The Company’s route-based business provides direct service to areas encompassing over 55% of the U.S. population. |
| |
• | In July 2015 and July 2016, the Company acquired three route-based pickup service companies, which strengthened the Company's position in the Northeast. Through a combination of acquisition and organic growth, the Company now offers route-based pickup services in a twenty-four (24) state region of the South, Southeast and Northeast portions of the United States. To facilitate operational efficiencies, the Company has opened transfer stations and offices in strategic locations. The Company directly serves more than 13,100 customer locations with route-based pickup services. With the addition of these route-based pickup regions and the network of medical and hazardous waste service providers servicing the entire U.S., the Company offers customers a blended product portfolio to effectively manage multi-site and multi-sized locations, including those that generate larger quantities of waste. The network has had a significant positive impact on our pipeline of sales opportunities - over 60% of this pipeline is attributable to opportunities providing comprehensive waste management service offerings where both the mailback and pickup service are integrated into the offering. |
| |
• | The changing demographics of the U.S. population – according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2012 Population Estimates and National Projections, one out of five Americans will be 65 years or older by 2030, which will increase the need for cost-effective medical waste management solutions, especially in the long-term care and home healthcare markets. With multiple solutions for managing regulated healthcare-related waste, the Company delivers value as a single-source provider with blended mailback and route-based pickup services matched to the waste volumes of each facility. |
| |
• | The shift of healthcare from traditional settings to the retail pharmacy and clinic markets, where the Company focuses on driving increased promotion of the Sharps Recovery System. According to the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC"), 44.9% of adults received a flu shot and 32.2% of flu shots for adults were administered in a retail clinic in 2018. Over the flu seasons from 2011 to 2019, the Company saw growth in six years of 10% to 36%, including a 30% increase in 2019, and declines in three years of 13% to 17%. Despite the volatility, Sharps believes the Retail market should continue to contribute to long-term growth for the Company as consumers increasingly use alternative sites, such as retail pharmacies, to obtain flu and other immunizations. |
| |
• | The passage of regulations for ultimate user medication disposal allows the Company to offer new solutions (MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery System envelopes) that meet the regulations for ultimate user controlled substances disposal (Schedules II-V) to retail pharmacies. Additionally, with the new regulations, the Company is able to provide the MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery Systems to assisted living and hospice to address a long standing issue within long-term care. |
| |
• | Local, state and federal agencies have growing needs for solutions to manage medical and pharmaceutical waste — the Company's Sharps Recovery System is ideal for as-needed disposal of sharps and other small quantities of medical waste generated within government buildings, schools and communities. The Company also provides TakeAway Medication Recovery System envelopes and MedSafe solutions to government agencies in need of proper and regulatory compliant medication disposal. The federal government, state agencies and non-profits are recognizing the need to fund programs that address prevention as it pertains to the opioid crisis. MedSafe and mailback envelopes for proper medication disposal are being funded for prevention programs. |
| |
• | With an increased number of self-injectable medication treatments and local regulations, the Company believes its flagship product, the Sharps Recovery System, continues to offer the best option for proper sharps disposal at an affordable price. The Company delivers comprehensive services to pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell high-dollar, self-injectable medications, which include data management, compliance reporting, fulfillment, proper containment with disposal, branding and conformity with applicable regulations. In addition, the Company provides self-injectors with online and retail purchase options of sharps mailback systems, such as the Sharp Recovery System and Complete Needle Collection & Disposal System, respectively. |
| |
• | A heightened interest by many commercial companies who are looking to improve workplace safety with proper sharps disposal and unused medication disposal solutions — the Company offers a variety of services to meet these needs, including the Sharps Secure Needle Disposal System, Sharps Recovery System, Spill Kits and TakeAway Medication Recovery System envelopes. |
| |
• | The Company continually develops new solution offerings such as ultimate user medication disposal (MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery System), mailback services for DEA registrant expired inventory of controlled substances (TakeAway Medication Recovery System DEA Reverse Distribution for Registrants) and shipback services for collection and recycling of single-use medical devices from surgical centers and other healthcare facilities (TakeAway Recycle System). |
| |
• | The Company’s strong financial position with a cash balance of $4.9 million, debt of $1.6 million and additional availability under the Credit and Loan Agreements. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow
Cash flow has historically been primarily influenced by demand for products and services, operating margins and related working capital needs as well as more strategic activities including acquisitions, stock repurchases and fixed asset additions. Cash increased by $0.4 million to $4.9 million at September 30, 2019 from $4.5 million at June 30, 2019 due to the following:
| |
• | Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Working capital decreased by $0.7 million to $9.9 million at September 30, 2019 from $10.6 million at June 30, 2019. The decrease in working capital is attributed primarily to the operating lease liability recorded for the new lease accounting guidance partially offset by: |
| |
• | an increase in accounts receivable of $1.4 million to $10.7 million at September 30, 2019 from $9.3 million at June 30, 2019 due to timing of billings and collections. |
| |
• | a decrease in current inventory of $0.5 million to $3.3 million at September 30, 2019 from $3.8 million at June 30, 2019 primarily due to timing of inventory builds and purchases. |
| |
• | Cash Flows used in Investing Activities - Investing activities include permitting and capital expenditures of $0.6 million for normal permitting, plant and equipment additions, including approximately $0.4 million for expenditures at the Company's treatment facility in Carthage, Texas. |
.
| |
• | Cash Flows used in Financing Activities - Financing activities include repayments of debt of $0.1 million and proceeds from long-term debt of $0.3 million. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended June 30, 2019.
Credit Facility
On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a commercial bank which was subsequently amended on June 29, 2018 to extend the maturity date by two years to March 29, 2021 for the working capital portion of the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $14.0 million credit facility, the proceeds of which may be utilized as follows: (i) $6.0 million for working capital, letters of credit (up to $2.0 million) and general corporate purposes and (ii) $8.0 million for acquisitions. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets with advances outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at any time limited to a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50% of eligible inventory and (ii) $3.0 million. Advances under the acquisition portion of the credit facility are limited to 75% of the purchase price of an acquired company and convert to a five-year term note at the time of the borrowing. Borrowings bear interest at the greater of (a) zero percent or (b) the One Month ICE LIBOR plus a LIBOR Margin of 2.5%. The LIBOR Margin may increase to as high as 3.0% depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of September 30, 2019 was approximately 4.64%. The Company pays a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of credit facility. At September 30, 2019, $1.3 million was outstanding related to the acquisition portion of the credit facility. No amounts were outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at September 30, 2019.
On August 21, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Construction and Term Loan Agreement and a Master Equipment Finance Agreement with its existing commercial bank (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year, $3.2 million facility, the proceeds of which are to be utilized for expenditures to facilitate future growth at the Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas (the “Texas Treatment Facility”) as follows: (i) $2.0 million for planned improvements and (ii) $1.2 million for equipment. Indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is secured by the Company’s real estate investment and equipment at the Texas Treatment Facility. Advances under the Loan Agreement mature five years from the Closing Date ("August 21, 2019") with monthly payments based on a 20-year amortization for the real estate portion and on a 6-year amortization for the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement. Borrowings during the advancing period for the real estate portion and for the entire term of the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement bear interest computed at the One Month ICE LIBOR, plus two-hundred and fifty (250) basis points which was a rate of 4.64% on September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into a forward rate lock to fix the rate on the real estate portion of the Loan Agreement at the expiration of the advancing period at 4.15%. At September 30, 2019, $0.3 million was outstanding related to the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement.
The Company has availability under the Credit Agreement of approximately $12.6 million ($5.9 million for the working capital and $6.7 million for the acquisitions) as of September 30, 2019. The Company has availability under the Loan Agreement of $2.9 million ($2.0 million for the real estate and $0.9 million for the equipment) as of September 30, 2019. The Company also had $0.1 million in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2019.
The Credit and Loan Agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a maximum cash flow leverage ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00. The Credit and Loan Agreements also contain customary events of default which, if uncured, may terminate the agreements and require immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lenders. The leverage ratio covenant may limit the amount available under the Credit and Loan Agreements.
The Company utilizes performance bonds to support operations based on certain state requirements. At September 30, 2019, the Company had performance bonds outstanding covering financial assurance up to $1.0 million.
Management believes that the Company’s current cash resources (cash on hand and cash flows from operations) will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.
