We have a credit agreement with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A. The credit agreement provides us with a secured revolving credit facility until August 30, 2009 of up to $25.0 million. The secured revolving credit facility provides for the issuance of standby commercial letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million outstanding at any time and with a term not to exceed 365 days, although the amount of borrowings available at any time under our secured revolving credit facility is reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit outstanding at that time. There were no outstanding borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility at May 2, 2009 or January 31, 2009. The Company had open letters of credit outstanding under our secured revolving credit facility of $1.8 million at May 2, 2009 and approximately $0.3 million at January 31, 2009. The secured revolving credit facility bears interest at floating rates based on the lower of the prime rate (3.25% at May 2, 2009) minus 0.50% or the LIBOR rate (1.88% at May 2, 2009), plus 1.00% for advances over $500,000 for a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 180 days. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions and covenants that generally limit our ability to, among other things, (1) incur additional debt, (2) undergo a change in ownership and (3) enter into certain transactions. The credit agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to meet certain specified financial tests and ratios, including, a minimum net income after taxes of $1.00, for any trailing twelve month period, a maximum total liabilities divided by tangible net worth of 1.15 and a minimum quick asset ratio of 1.0. Our two most restrictive covenants are our quick asset ratio that essentially precludes us from borrowing to the extent we were to have no cash, marketable securities or accounts receivable and our net income covenant that requires us make at least $1.00 in net income after taxes for any trailing twelve month period. All of our personal property, including, among other things, our inventory, equipment and fixtures, has been pledged to secure our obligations under the credit agreement. We must also provide financial information and statements to our lender. We were in compliance with all such covenants at January 31, 2009.
