DueFurther reductions in availability, either due to its continued losses or changes by Summit to the Company’s borrowing base, could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and ability to meet our operating losses,requirements. In such a case, the Company maywould need to access additional sources of liquidity if it does not return to profitability. The Company believes it could negotiate with Summit to increase the availability under the Credit Agreement to utilize more of its borrowing base. This would likely involve an increase in the minimum availability fees under the Credit Agreement and there is no guarantee that Summit would agree to such an increase. If the Company were unable to reach such an agreement with Summit to increase availability, the Company could also attempt to negotiate a larger credit facility with another lender, but the Company would be obligated to pay the above described pre-payment penalty to Summit. There is no assurance that the Company could secure either increased availability from Summit or a new credit facility from a new lender, in which case the Company would have to use other assets to obtain liquidity, such as a sale-leaseback of some or all of its real estate.

The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants associated with the Credit Facility at March 31, 2018.2019.
