Department of Economic and Community Development.

On January 8, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds of $400,000 when it entered into an agreement with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) by which the Company received a grant of $100,000 and a loan of $300,000 secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “DECD 2018 Loan”). The DECD 2018 Loan is a ten-year loan due on December 31, 2027 and includes interest paid monthly at 3.25%.

Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, DECD offered financial relief to all businesses with certain loans, including the Company’s DECD 2018 Loan. The relief includes the option to defer all payments from April 1, 2020 to August 1, 2020 and the deferred payments will be added to the end of the loan. The Company chose to defer its payments and the maturity date of the DECD 2018 Loan was extended to May 31, 2028. The payment deferral modification did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Debt issuance costs associated with the DECD 2018 Loan were approximately $31,000. Amortization of the debt issuance costs were less than $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and approximately $3,000 and $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net debt issuance costs were approximately $19,000 and $22,000 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization for each of the next five years is expected to be approximately $3,000.

Paycheck Protection Program.

On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) evidencing an unsecured $787,200 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the recently congressionally-approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The PPP Loan to the Company was made through Webster Bank, N.A.

 

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels.

As of December 31, 2020, using the eight-week forgiveness period, the Company had incurred approximately $0.8 million in payroll, payroll related costs and other anticipated qualifying expenses with $0.6 million the PPP Loan’s outstanding balance included in current maturities of long-term debt and $0.2 million included in long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On February 11, 2021, the Company filed its application for loan forgiveness with Webster Bank and was subsequently notified by Webster Bank that effective March 24, 2021 the PPP Loan, plus accrued interest, was considered fully forgiven. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $0.8 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
