Credit Arrangement [Abstract]

Credit Arrangement

NOTE F – Credit Agreement

In September 2019 we entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank. The Credit Agreement amends our credit facility to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2024 from March 31, 2021 and change certain collateral reporting requirements.  Our first borrowings under the facility, since its origination in 2008, were in March 2020.

The Credit Agreement is a $60.0 million revolving credit facility secured by our inventory, accounts receivable, cash, and certain other personal property. Availability fluctuates based on a borrowing base calculation reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Amounts available to borrow are based on the lesser of the borrowing base or the $60.0 million-line amount. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain types of debt or liens, enter into mergers and consolidations or use proceeds of borrowing for other than permitted uses. The covenants also limit our ability to pay dividends if unused availability is less than $12.5 million.

We borrowed $43.8 million under the Credit Agreement in March 2020.  The interest rates on the outstanding balance is based on the three-month Euro dollar LIBOR rate plus 1.25% and on a weighted average basis was approximately 2.37% at March 31, 2020.

The borrowing base was $58.4 million at March 31, 2020, there were no outstanding letters of credit, and the net availability was $14.6 million.
