Risk Factors
1. A. Liquidity and Capital Resources- asset based, revolving credit facility, $50 million
now, can lead up to $100 million under certain conditions. Clearly INCENTIVE based.
10K, PAGE 29.
B. Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1 to1 for any period of
four consecutive fiscal quarters. Certain payments are restricted if availiabilty of collateral
supporting facility falls below 10 millions or 20% of facility size. Contains customary covenants
which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt; engage in mergers and consolidations;
make restricted payments; sell certain assets; make investments. Clearly this impacts the
company itself, the bank, and external users investing in Edgar Allen.
C. Inherent risk is clearly increased. If Edgar Allen does not reach their fixed charge
coverage ratio, they will not get their loan approved. Along with that, they will not be able to
increase their loans from $50 million to $100 million.

D. A fixed charge coverage ratio is a ratio that indicates a firm's ability to satisfy fixed financing
expenses, such as interest and leases. It is calculated as the following:

The accounts that would clearly be affected would be an overstatement of revenues, which
would increase their earnings and a decrease in expenses, which would increase their EBIT and
qualify them for their loan.
E. Audit strategy- make sure
