Deferred Financing Costs

We had deferred financing costs of $2.3 million and $2.6 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Deferred financing costs are related to our revolving credit facility.  Deferred financing costs as of March 31, 2013 are being amortized, assuming no further prepayments of principal, in the amount of $0.9 million in 2013, $1.2 million in 2014 and $0.2 million in 2015.

Revolving Credit Facility

In November 2010, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent, and a syndicate of lenders for a secured revolving credit facility.  The restated credit agreement (as amended in September 2011 and February 2013) provides for a line of credit of up to $200 million (inclusive of the Canadian revolving credit facility described below) and expires in March 2015.  Direct borrowings under the restated credit agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin (as defined), or floating at the index rate plus the applicable margin, at our option. The interest rate may vary depending upon our borrowing availability. The restated credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by certain of our assets.
 
In September 2011, we amended our restated credit agreement (1) to extend the maturity date of our credit facility to March 2015; (2) to reduce the margin added to the LIBOR rate to 1.75% - 2.25%; (3) to reduce the margin added to the index rate to 0.75% - 1.25%; and (4) to provide us with greater flexibility regarding permitted acquisitions and stock repurchases.  In February 2013, we further amended the restated credit agreement to provide us with greater flexibility regarding the payment of cash dividends and stock repurchases.
 
Borrowings under the restated credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries. After taking into account outstanding borrowings under the restated credit agreement, there was an additional $115.8 million available for us to borrow pursuant to the formula at March 31, 2013.  Outstanding borrowings under the restated credit agreement (inclusive of the Canadian revolving credit facility described below), which are classified as current liabilities, were $75.5 million and $40.4 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  At March 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on our restated credit agreement was 2.1%, which consisted of $69 million in direct borrowings at 2% and an index loan of $6.5 million at 4%.  At December 31, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on our restated credit agreement was 2.7%, which consisted of $25 million in direct borrowings at 2% and an index loan of $15.4 million at 4%.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 our average daily index loan balance was $5.7 million compared to $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
At any time that our average borrowing availability over the previous thirty days is less than $30 million or if our borrowing availability is $20 million or less, and until such time that we have maintained an average borrowing availability of $30 million or greater for a continuous period of ninety days, the terms of our restated credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, financial covenants requiring us, on a consolidated basis, (1) to maintain specified levels of fixed charge coverage at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling twelve months), and (2) to limit capital expenditure levels.  As of March 31, 2013, we were not subject to these covenants.  Availability under our restated credit agreement is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible fixed assets.  Our restated credit agreement also permits dividends and distributions by us provided specific conditions are met.

Canadian Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2010, we amended our Canadian Credit Agreement with GE Canada Finance Holding Company, for itself and as agent for the lenders.  The amended Canadian Credit Agreement provided for the conversion of the then existing $10 million line of credit into a revolving credit facility.  The Canadian $10 million line of credit is part of the $200 million available for borrowing under our restated credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation.
 
In November 2010 and September 2011, we further amended our Canadian Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the agreement to March 2015 and modify certain provisions, including interest rates, to parallel the revolving credit provisions of the restated credit agreement (described above).  The amended credit agreement is guaranteed and secured by us and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Direct borrowings under the amended credit agreement bear interest at the same rate as our restated credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation.  As of March 31, 2013, we have no outstanding borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement.

Capital Leases

As of March 31, 2013, our capital lease obligations related to certain equipment for use in our operations totaled $0.2 million.  Assets held under capitalized leases are included in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the lives of the respective leases or over their economic useful lives, whichever is less.
