Interest Rates
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates regarding our credit agreements.
Revolving Credit Agreement – United States
Our U.S. revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., permits both base rate borrowings and borrowings that require interest to be charged at a variable rate calculated using an applicable margin over SOFR (the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or its successor)), as defined in the Credit Agreement. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement as of May 3, 2026, was 5.64%. As of May 3, 2026, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement totaled $7.0 million.
Credit Agreements - China Operations
Effective November 7, 2025, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with the Bank of China ("BOC") that provides for a 10.0 million RMB ($1.5 million USD as of May 3, 2026) working capital loan. Interest is based on a fixed rate of 2.5%, and therefore borrowings under this agreement are not subject to future changes in the market rate of interest. As of May 3, 2026, the outstanding balance under this working capital loan was 10.0 million RMB ($1.5 million USD).
During May 2025 (first quarter of fiscal 2026), we entered into unsecured loan agreements with the Agricultural Bank of China ("ABC") totaling 21.0 million RMB ($3.1 million USD as of May 3, 2026), which agreements were paid in full during May 2026 (first quarter of fiscal 2027). Interest was based on fixed rates ranging from 2.5% to 2.6%. and therefore borrowings under this agreement were not subject to future changes in the market rate of interest. As of May 3, 2026, the outstanding balance under this agreement was 21.0 million RMB ($3.1 million USD).
Effective March 3, 2026, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with ABC that provides a 29.0 million RMB ($4.2 million USD as of May 3, 2026) working capital loan. Interest is based on a fixed rate 2.4%, and therefore borrowings under this agreement are not subject to future changes in the market rate of interest. As of May 3, 2026, the outstanding balance under this agreement was 29.0 million RMB ($4.2 million USD).
Effective March 17, 2026, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with the China Construction Bank of China ("CCB") that includes 20.0 million RMB ($2.9 million USD as of May 3, 2026) that can be used in the form of a working capital loan and supplier financing agreements. Interest is based on a fixed rate of 2.3%, and therefore borrowings under this agreement are not subject to future changes in the market rate of interest. As of May 3, 2026, the outstanding balance under this agreement was 10.0 million RMB ($1.5 million USD).
Currently, we have supplier financing arrangements that bear interest at a fixed rate, which is paid in full at the time of borrowing and therefore borrowings under these agreements are not subject to future changes in the market rate of interest.
Foreign Currency
We are exposed to market risk from changes in the value of foreign currencies for our subsidiaries domiciled in Canada, China, and Vietnam. We try to maintain a natural hedge by keeping a balance of our assets and liabilities denominated in the local currency of our subsidiaries domiciled in Canada, China, and Vietnam. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to continually maintain this natural hedge. Our foreign subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. A substantial portion of the company’s imports purchased outside the U.S. are denominated in U.S. dollars. A 10% change in the above exchange rates as of May 3, 2026, would not have materially affected our results of operations or financial position.
