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 specified 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”). Hiawatha advanced Loan funds from October 2021 to October 2022 totaling $11,625,000. 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.

 

As of July 2022, we are eligible to prepay the Note in whole or in part 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.

 

We are required to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as defined in the terms of the Loan Agreement, of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 for the period defined below and continuing to and including the Maturity Date. The Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be tested on an annual basis, as of July 1, for each previous year.

 

We made $127,858 in principal payments for the six months ended September 30, 2023. 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 year ended March 31, 2023, $500,000 of restricted cash was released with $500,000 remaining restricted. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the remaining $500,000 of restricted cash was released.
