Item 1A. Risk Factors
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS.
Our debt and financial obligations could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to obtain future financing, and our ability to
operate our business.
We have outstanding debt obligations that could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, from time
to time, we may need additional financing to support our business and pursue our business strategy, including strategic acquisitions. Our ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor demand, our operating
performance, the condition of the capital markets, and other factors. We cannot provide assurances that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all.
Our loan agreements contain certain restrictions and requirements that among other things:
•
require us to maintain a quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum working capital ratio;
•
limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions, to fund growth or for general corporate purposes;
•
limit our future ability to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all;
•
limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and market conditions or in funding our strategic growth plan; and
•
impose on us financial and operational restrictions.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by the other risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed on March 1, 2022. If we do not generate enough cash flow to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell our assets, borrow more money or raise equity. There is no guarantee that we
will be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.
If we fail to satisfy our debt service obligations or the other restrictions and requirements in our loan agreements, we could be in default. Unless cured or waived, a default would
permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt under the credit agreement and to foreclose upon the collateral securing the debt.
Our outstanding loans bear interest at variable rates. In response to the variable rates, we entered into entered into an interest rate swap agreement. See above for further
discussion of this swap agreement.
