We maintained a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. The Agreement established a three year revolving $20 million credit facility and was renewed through July 31, 2009. The facility provided for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory, and real estate. The facility included a $2 million limit on letters of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had $1.1 million of letters of credit outstanding. The interest rate at June 30, 2009, is at LIBOR plus 2.00% and subject to change based upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. We were required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1:1. There were no required repayments as long as there were no defaults and there was adequate eligible collateral. Substantially all of our assets were pledged as security under the Agreement. We had no long term debt outstanding at June 30, 2009 or 2008. Prior to expiration of our credit facility with PNC Bank, we elected to amend this agreement as disclosed under the heading, Contractual Obligations, as set forth below in this Item 2.

We amended the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., on July 23, 2009. The original agreement was set to expire on July 31, 2009, and rather than let it expire, we elected to amend this agreement and reduce the amount of the credit facility from $20 million to $1.5 million. The facility also includes a $1.285 million limit on letters of credit, which is reduced from our original $2 million limit. We elected to reduce our credit facility at this time because we believe the higher amount associated with the original line was not needed. We are currently evaluating other options for a revolving credit facility.
