incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to
subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including other direct or indirect Company
subsidiaries), make capital expenditures, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes
to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net
worth of $20.0 million, as defined, a minimum earnings before interest and taxes, plus
depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation accruals, if any, as defined, and a minimum
liquidity ratio, as defined. The Agreement also limits PFS ability to increase the subordinated
loan to Supplies Distributors to more than $5.0 million and permits PFS to advance incremental
amounts subject to certain cash inflows to PFS, as defined, to certain of its subsidiaries and/or
affiliates. The Agreement is secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a Company parent
guarantee.
On November 10, 2011, PFS entered into an amended agreement with Comerica to also provide for
up to $2.5 million of eligible equipment purchases (Equipment Advances). Outstanding Equipment
Advances under the amended Comerica Agreement accrue interest at prime rate plus 2.25% and have a
final maturity date of April 15, 2015.
PFS financed certain capital expenditures through a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi
Business Finance Corporation (the MBFC) pursuant to which the MBFC issued MBFC Taxable Variable
Rate
Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.
Project) (the Bonds). The MBFC loaned PFS the proceeds of the Bonds for the purpose of financing
the acquisition and installation of equipment, machinery and related assets to support incremental
business from a Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility. The primary source of repayment of
the Bonds is a letter of credit (the Letter of Credit) issued by Comerica pursuant to a
Reimbursement Agreement between PFS and Comerica under which PFS is obligated to pay to Comerica
all amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has a maturity date of April
2012. The amount outstanding on this Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2011 was $0.8 million, the
payment of which is due in January 2012. PFS obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are
secured by substantially all of its assets, including restricted cash of $0.1 million, and a
Company parent guarantee.
Retail Connect Financing
Retail Connect has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million with Wells
Fargo Bank National Association (Wells Fargo), which is collateralized by substantially all of
Retail Connects assets and expires in May 2012. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a
percentage of accounts receivable and inventory, up to specified maximums. As of September 30,
2011, Retail Connect had $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and $0.1 million of
available credit under this facility. Amounts available under the outstanding letters of credit
are currently secured by restricted cash in equivalent amounts. The credit facility restricts
Retail Connects ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur
indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties,
make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as
well as a minimum tangible net worth of $0 million, as defined. The Company has guaranteed all
current and future obligations of Retail Connect under this line of credit.
In February 2011, we sold substantially all of the inventory and certain intangible assets of
eCOST for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million (before expenses of approximately $0.2 million) and
the assumption by the purchases of certain limited liabilities of eCOST. In connection with the
closing of this business unit, we incurred exit costs of approximately $0.3 million related to
employee termination costs, excess property and equipment and contract termination costs and may
incur additional costs, including excess facility costs. During 2010, we recorded a non-cash
goodwill impairment charge of approximately $2.8 million.
Public Offering
In May 2010, we completed a public offering of our common stock pursuant to which we issued
and sold an aggregate of 2.3 million shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, at
$3.50 per share, resulting in net proceeds after deducting offering expenses of approximately $7.3
million.
