FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Jan. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – The Singing Machine Company, Inc.  (“Singing Machine” or the “Company”)(OTCQX: SMDM), today announced that on January 21, 2019, the Company fully paid down the balance of its revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. During its peak season, the Company borrowed approximately $9,200,000 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 21 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 after the conclusion of our holiday season.  This year we relied less on our line of credit due to improvements in our supply chain for just-in-time delivery and we did not need to finance any receivables with Toys ‘R’ Us. Additionally, our inventory position coming out of season has significantly improved compared to last year which has bolstered our cash flow position.”
