At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no outstanding balance on this revolving line of credit.

 

The line of credit agreement includes various covenants, which among other things; require the Company to maintain minimum amounts of tangible net worth, debt/worth ratio, and debt service coverage, as defined. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.
