6.    BANK BORROWINGS

 

 We have a $50,000 credit facility collateralized by our receivables that expires February 10, 2022.  This facility can be increased, at our option, to $80,000 for approved acquisitions or other uses authorized by the lender on substantially the same terms.  Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a spread based on our funded debt ratio, or in the absence of LIBOR, the prime rate (3.75% at December 31, 2016).  The one-month LIBOR rate at December 31, 2016 was 0.77%.  The credit facility includes various customary financial ratios and operating covenants, including minimum net worth and maximum funded debt ratio requirements, and default acceleration provisions.  Funded debt ratio is the ratio of average outstanding advances under the credit facility to Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Special Charges).  The maximum allowable funded debt ratio under the agreement is 2.0 to 1.0.  Decreases in our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA could limit our potential borrowings under the credit facility.  We had no outstanding bank borrowings in 2016 or 2015, and accordingly, the entire $50,000 facility was available for borrowings under the credit facility.

 

In February of 2017, we renewed our credit facility, extending the expiration date to February 10, 2022, at which time any amounts outstanding become due.  The credit facility was renewed with substantially the same terms and conditions as with the preceding agreement.
