Note 3 Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a cumulative net loss from inception to  September 30, 2021 of over $13 million. The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2021 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s cash resources from operations  may be insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during the next twelve months.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of equity securities and borrowing, continuing to focus our Company on the most profitable elements, and exploring alternative funding sources on an as needed basis. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and, in light of the effect of such pandemic on financial markets, these impacts  may include reduced access to capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have traditionally been comprised of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under its credit agreements with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) prior to September 30, 2021 and with Line Financial Corp. (“Line Financial”) effective September 30, 2021 (see Note 4). As of September 30, 2021, the Company has $1.0 million of unused borrowing capacity available under its credit agreements with Line Financial.

 

Additionally, during 2021 the Company has undertaken additional efforts to generate cash to fund operations and repay debt.

 

On  April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an unaffiliated purchaser (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company sold its facility in Lake Barrington, Illinois (the “Lake Barrington Facility”), in which our headquarters office, production and warehouse space are located, to the Purchaser. The sale price for the Lake Barrington Facility was $3,500,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in cash and a promissory note with a principal amount of $1,500,000, due and payable on  May 3, 2021 (the “Purchaser Promissory Note”). As part of its agreements with PNC, the Company agreed that the full $2,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of the Lake Barrington Facility would be applied to repay the $2,000,000 term loan owed to PNC pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company further agreed that $1,500,000 in proceeds from the Purchaser Promissory Note was applied to amounts due and owing to PNC under revolving credit advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Loans”).

 

Concurrently with the closing under the PSA, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease the Lake Barrington Facility from the Purchaser for a period of ten years. The annual base rent commences at $500,000 for the first year of the term and escalates annually to $652,386 during the last year of the term of the lease.
