6. Debt

On March 13, 2020, we entered into a new credit facility (the “Siena Credit Facility”) with Siena Lending Group LLC.  The Siena Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit line of up to $10.0 million expiring on March 13, 2023.  Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility bear a floating rate of interest equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate plus 1.75%, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 2.25%, and (iii) 6.50%. The total deferred financing costs related to expenses incurred to complete the Siena Credit Facility was $245 thousand, which were reported as “Other current assets” in current assets and “Other assets” in non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  We also pay a fee of 0.50% on unused borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility.  Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all the assets of the Company.

The Siena Credit Facility imposes a financial covenant on the Company and borrowings are subject to a borrowing base based on (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) 50% of eligible raw material and 60% of finished goods inventory.  The three month period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was the first period we were subject to the financial covenant which required the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA and continued through the 12-month period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021.  On July 21, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Siena Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility Amendment changed the financial covenant under the Siena Credit Facility from a minimum EBITDA covenant to an excess availability covenant requiring that the Company maintain excess availability of at least $750,000 under the Siena Credit Facility, tested as of the end of each calendar month, beginning with the calendar month ending July 31, 2021.  As of June 30, 2021, we had $4.7 million of borrowing capacity available under the Siena Credit Facility.

On May 1, 2020 (the “Loan Date”), the Company was granted the PPP Loan from Berkshire Bank in the aggregate amount of $2.2 million, pursuant to the PPP.  Under the terms of the PPP, the PPP Loan would be forgiven to the extent that funds from the PPP Loan were used for payroll costs and costs to continue group health care benefits, as well as for interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent under lease agreements in effect before February 15, 2020, utilities for which service began before February 15, 2020, and interest on debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, subject to conditions and limitations provided in the CARES Act.  At least 60% (under the PPP terms, as amended) of the proceeds from the PPP Loan needed to have been used for eligible payroll costs for the PPP Loan to be forgiven. The Company submitted its PPP Loan forgiveness application in May 2021 to the SBA through Berkshire Bank and submitted the related loan necessity questionnaire in June 2021.  On July 8, 2021, the Company received notifications from Berkshire Bank and the SBA that its PPP Loan (including all interest accrued thereon) of $2.2 million had been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. 

The PPP Loan, which was evidenced by a Note dated the Loan Date issued by the Company (the “Note”) in favor of Berkshire Bank, as lender (the “PPP Lender”), was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2022 and had a fixed interest rate of 1.0% per annum, accruing from the Loan Date and payable monthly.  No payments were due on the PPP Loan for six months from the date of first disbursement, and because a loan forgiveness application was submitted to the SBA within 10 months after the end of the covered period, no payments were due until the date on which the SBA remitted the loan forgiveness amount to the PPP Lender and interest that accrued during the deferment period was included in the forgiveness amount.  The Note was unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA.  The PPP Loan is classified as “Long-term debt” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The forgiveness of the PPP loan will be recognized  under “Interest and other expense” section in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the quarter ending September 30, 2021.

11. Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred up to the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.  Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any additional subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, other than receiving notifications from Berkshire Bank and the SBA regarding forgiveness of the PPP Loan on July 8, 2021, and the Credit Facility Amendment to the Siena Credit Facility signed on July 21, 2021, both of which are disclosed in Note 6.
