Note 5 - Bank Financing Arrangements | NOTE 5 — Bank Financing Arrangements Third Financing Agreement On January 31, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (the “Third Financing Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank (the “Bank), that provides for a $2.5 million revolving line of credit and a $4.0 million term loan that the Company may use to repurchase shares of common stock. Pursuant to the revolving line of credit, the Company is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of $2.5 million or 80% of eligible accounts receivables. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit bear interest at the “U.S. Prime Rate” published by the Wall Street Journal plus 0.75%. Interest is payable monthly on the line of credit, and the principal is due upon the maturity date of January 31, 2020. Amounts outstanding under the term loan bear interest at the “U.S. Prime Rate” published by the Wall Street Journal plus 1.75%. Following a three-month interest only period, the term loan is payable in 45 equal monthly installments of principal and interest (see “Forth Financing Agreement” and “Fifth Financing Agreement” for subsequent changes affecting the term loan and financial covenants). The loans are secured by all of the Company’s present and future assets, including intellectual property and general intangibles. Termination of the revolving line of credit or term loan prior to its termination date may be subject to early termination fees, subject to certain exceptions. Amounts repaid or prepaid under the term loan may not be reborrowed. At the end of each quarter through the quarter ending December 31, 2018, the Company is required to prepay outstanding term loan principal in an amount equal to 25% of excess cash flow, as set forth in the Third Financing Agreement, for the most recent quarter ended. The Company is also obligated to pay customary fees for a loan facility of this size and type. The Third Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make acquisitions, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into restrictive agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with an asset coverage ratio (unrestricted cash maintained with the Bank plus Eligible Receivables, divided by the total amount of the Obligations) measured monthly, which requirements increase during the term of the Financing Agreement, a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.75 to 1.0, measured quarterly, and a total funded debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA multiple of not more than 1.75 to 1.0, measured monthly. The Third Financing Agreement also contains customary events of default including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults with certain material indebtedness, judgment defaults, and breaches of representations and warranties. Upon an event of default, the Bank may declare all or a portion of the Company’s outstanding obligations payable to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Financing Agreement. During the existence of an event of default, interest on the obligations could be increased. On March 1, 2018, the Company received proceeds of $4.0 million under the provisions of the term loan for a common stock repurchase. On March 9, 2018, the Company completed a tender offer to purchase and retire 1,250,000 shares of common stock from multiple investors at a purchase price of $3.90 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $4.9 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer. On April 12, 2018, the Company advised the Bank that its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were not expected to be in compliance with two financial covenants, the first a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the second a Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. The Company reported the non-compliance in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Bank verbally agreed to forbear the events of default subject to further modification of the Financing Agreement. The Company subsequently paid down the term loan from $4.0 million at March 31, 2018 to $1.0 million at June 30, 2018. The paydowns were made from its cash and revolving lines of credit. Fourth Financing Agreement On June 4, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (the “Fourth Financing Agreement”) with the Bank. In the Fourth Financing Agreement, the Bank recognizes the repayment of the outstanding term loan balance to $1.0 million by June 30, 2018. The remaining balance is repayable in 24 equal monthly installments. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is replaced with a commitment to maintain cash plus available credit at or above the term loan balance. The Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio and the excess cash flow application provisions that were designed to accelerate the pay down of the term loan balance are removed. The Bank permanently waived the defaults resulting from March 31, 2018 results when paydown of the term loan balance to $1.0 million by June 30, 2018 was achieved. In the Fourth Financing Agreement, the Company is required to maintain compliance with the Asset Coverage Ratio measured monthly. Fifth Financing Agreement On July 30, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (the “Fifth Financing Agreement”) with the Bank. The Company is required to maintain daily cash plus available credit at or above 90% of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan until the Asset Coverage Ratio is at 1.25 to 1.0. The minimum Asset Coverage Ratio increased to 1.2 to 1.0 on October 1, 2018. From December 31, 2018 onwards, the ratio will increase to 1.25 to 1.0. The Company was in complete compliance with all the required covenants during Q3 2018. On September 30, 2018, the sum of Company’s unrestricted cash on deposit with the Bank plus availability was $1.62 million, $0.76 million more than 90% of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, or $0.86 million, and the Asset Coverage Ratio was 1.48 to 1.0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the total amount borrowed under the term loan was $4.0 million and total repayments was $3.04 million. Total amount borrowed under the domestic and international lines was $9.416 million and the total repayments was $7.89 million.
