17. Subsequent Events

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restrictions on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. These measures have begun to have a significant adverse impact upon many sectors of the economy, including non-essential retail commerce.

 

In response to these measures and for the protection of our employees and customers, we have temporarily closed our dedicated stores, our manufacturing locations and many of our warehouses. In addition, many of our office personnel are working remotely. We continue to assess the situation on a daily basis, but we are unable to predict when and how quickly we will be able to resume retail and manufacturing operations. We have implemented several measures that we believe will ensure sufficient liquidity for the next several months.

 

While we are not able to estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our financial condition and future results of operations, we expect that this situation will have a significant adverse effect on our reported results for our second fiscal quarter of 2020 and possibly beyond.

 

Subsequent to February 29, 2020, we received a firm commitment from our bank to amend our credit facility to increase the maximum amount available under our credit line to $50,000 through December 31, 2020, after which date the maximum availability will return to the current amount of $25,000.  The line will bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 1.9%, with a fee of 0.25% charged for the unused portion of the line, and will be secured by a general lien on our accounts receivable and inventory. In addition, all covenants based on financial ratios will be waived for the remainder of fiscal 2020, and the maturity of the facility will be extended from December 5, 2021 to January 31, 2022.
