Singing Machine Pays Off Revolving Loan with PNC Bank

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 17, 2017) - The Singing Machine Company, Inc. ("Singing Machine" or the "Company") (OTCQX: SMDM) today announced that on January 11, 2016, the Company fully paid down the balance of its revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. During its peak season, the Company borrowed approximately $10,000,000 from its line of credit.

As part of the Company's terms with PNC Bank, it must pay down the line of credit to a minimum of $1,000,000 for 30 consecutive days prior to April 30. The Company elected to completely pay off the line 11 days after the conclusion of its peak season.

Lionel Marquis, Company CFO commented, "We are pleased to be able to pay down our revolving line of credit with PNC Bank so quickly. During November we hit our peak borrowing on the line of approximately $10,000,000 so to be able to pay it down in early January represents the strength of our cash flow. This year we were successful in keeping many of our direct import retail accounts to letter of credit which speeds up the average time to collect receivables. We also successfully managed our inventory for year-end which helped us turn inventory into cash."
