NOTE 10 – CONSTRUCTION NOTE PAYABLE

 

On October 14, 2021, we entered into a Construction Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hiawatha National Bank (“Hiawatha”). The Loan Agreement specifies that Hiawatha may lend up to $11,625,000 to the Borrower to pay a portion of the construction costs of an approximately 160,000 square foot manufacturing facility to be constructed on our property (the “Loan”). The first advance of Loan funds by Hiawatha was made on October 14, 2021 in the amount of $329,843. We expect to receive further advances of Loan funds approximately every month as our “owner’s equity” is fully funded into the ongoing new plant construction project. The Loan is an advancing term loan and not a revolving loan so any portion of the principal repaid cannot be reborrowed.

 

Additionally, on October 14, 2021, we issued a Promissory Note in favor of Hiawatha (the “Note”) in the amount of up to $11,625,000 with an interest rate of four and one-half percent (4.5%). The maturity date of the Note is October 14, 2026.

 

We can prepay the Note in whole or in part starting in July 2022 with a prepayment premium of one percent (1%) of the principal being prepaid.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default including, but not limited to, a failure to make any payments pursuant to the Loan Agreement or Note, a failure to complete construction of the project, a lien of $100,000 or more against the property, or a transfer of the property without Hiawatha’s consent. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, among other remedies, the amounts due pursuant to the Loan can be accelerated, Hiawatha can foreclose on the property pursuant to the mortgage, and a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount due will be owed with all amounts then owed pursuant to the Note bearing interest at an increased rate.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, approximately $11.2 million of Loan funds were advanced including $1.0 million of cash collateral or restricted cash as security for the Loan. We made $66,585 in principal payments for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022. The restricted cash can be released per the terms documented in the Loan Agreement filed with the Commission on Form 10-Q on February 14, 2022. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, $500,000 of restricted cash was released to the Company.
