DEBT

Term Loan and Line of Credit

In December 2013, we amended and restated our previously outstanding senior credit agreement and amended the subordinated credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank to increase the senior term loan to $8,500,000, reduce the interest rates, and extend the maturity of the senior term loan and the $5,000,000 revolving line of credit to December 1, 2018 and December 1, 2015, respectively. In January 2014, we paid the subordinated term loan in full. The outstanding senior term loan was secured by substantially all of our assets. The senior term loan principal balance was payable in monthly installments of $101,000, which started in January 2014 and would have continued through the maturity date, with the full remaining unpaid principal balance due at maturity. Borrowings under the senior term loan bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.25%. However, as a result of our interest rate swap, the interest rate was fixed at 6.42% until October 27, 2014, when the interest rate swap agreement was terminated. Accrued and unpaid interest on the senior term loan was due monthly through maturity. We paid $116,000 in closing fees in connection with this senior term loan, which was recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.50%. We paid a commitment fee of 0.40% on the unused revolving line of credit on a quarterly basis.

On November 21, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lender parties thereto. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to provide a $10,000,000 senior term loan and a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit to our primary operating subsidiary. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either LIBOR or the base rate, as elected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. Subject to the Company’s leverage ratio, the applicable LIBOR rate margin varies from 4.25% to 5.25%, and the applicable base rate margin varies from 3.25% to 4.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into as of April 15, 2015, going forward the applicable LIBOR rate margin varies from 4.25% to 6.25%, and the applicable base rate margin varies from 3.25% to 5.25%. The term loan and line of credit mature on November 21, 2019 and provide support for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. At closing, the Company repaid indebtedness under its prior credit facility using approximately $7,400,000 of the proceeds provided by the term loan. The prior credit facility with Fifth Third Bank was terminated concurrent with the entry of the Credit Agreement and unamortized debt financing costs and discount of $315,000 associated with the terminated debt was included in loss on early extinguishment of debt. Financing costs of $355,000 associated with the new credit facility are being amortized over its term on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different from the effective interest method.

The Credit Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the requirements that the Company maintain minimum liquidity and achieve certain minimum EBITDA levels (as defined in the Credit Agreement). In addition, the credit facility prohibits the Company from paying dividends on the common and preferred stock. In addition to the changes to the rate margins referenced above, the April 2015 amendment to the Credit Agreement reset the financial covenants. As such, the Company is required to maintain minimum liquidity of at least (i) $5,000,000 through April 15, 2015, (ii) $6,500,000 from April 16, 2015 through and including July 30, 2015, (iii) $7,000,000 from July 31, 2015 through and including January 30, 2016, and (iv) $7,500,000 from January 31, 2016 through and including the maturity date of the credit facility.

The following table shows our future minimum EBITDA covenant thresholds, as modified by the amendment to the Credit Agreement:



For the four-quarter period ended	Minimum EBITDA
April 30, 2015	$	(2,500,000	)
July 31, 2015	(1,750,000		)
October 31, 2015	(750,000		)
January 31, 2016	500,000

For the four-quarter period ending April 30, 2016, and fiscal quarters thereafter, the minimum EBITDA will be determined within 30 days following delivery of, and based upon, the projections then most recently delivered by the Company.

As of January 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit, and had accrued $2,000 in unused balance commitment fees.

Note Payable

In November 2013, as part of the settlement of the earn-out consideration in connection with the 2011 Interpoint acquisition, we issued an unsecured, subordinated three-year note in the amount of $900,000 (“Note Payable”) that would have matured on November 1, 2016 and accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount outstanding at a per annum rate equal to 8%. Annual principal payments of $300,000 were due on November 1, 2014, 2015 and 2016. At closing of the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo described above, we repaid our indebtedness under this note using approximately $600,000 of the proceeds provided by the term loan.

Outstanding principal balances on debt consisted of the following at:



	January 31, 2016		January 31, 2015
Senior term loan	$	8,535,000	$	10,000,000
Capital lease	686,000		1,365,000
Total	9,221,000		11,365,000
Less: Current portion	1,266,000		1,282,000
Non-current portion of long-term debt	$	7,955,000	$	10,083,000

Future repayments of long-term debt by fiscal year consisted of the following at January 31, 2016:



	Senior Term Loan		Capital Lease (1)		Total
2016	$	674,000	$	618,000	$	1,292,000
2017	898,000		93,000		991,000
2018	898,000		—		898,000

(1)	Future minimum lease payments include principal plus interest.

Interest Rate Swap

As of January 31, 2014, the Company maintained one effective hedging relationship via one distinct interest rate swap agreement (maturing December 1, 2020), which required the Company to pay interest at a fixed rate of 6.42% and receive interest at a variable rate. This interest rate swap agreement was designated to hedge $8,500,000 of a variable rate debt obligation. The one-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determined the variable portion of the interest rate swap for the following month. The interest rate swap settled any accrued interest for cash on the first day of each calendar month, until expiration. At such dates, the differences to be paid or received on the interest rate swap were included in interest expense. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swap, because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swap represented prevailing rates for the counterparty at the time the interest rate swap was entered into.

The interest rate swap qualified for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the Company had effectively hedged its exposure to variability in the future cash flows attributable to the one-month LIBOR on its $8,500,000 of variable rate obligation. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swap’s gains or losses reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion reported in earnings (interest expense). As of January 31, 2014, the Company had a fair value liability of approximately $111,000 for the effective portion of the interest rate swap. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the interest rate swap was terminated prior to its maturity, and losses accumulated in other comprehensive loss were reclassified into earnings.
