NOTE 9 –NOTES PAYABLE AND REVOLVING CREDIT LINE

 

Paycheck Protection Program

 

During FY 2021 the Company received promissory notes pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA Loans”). The Company received total proceeds of $1.5 million from SBA Loans. During FY 2021, approximately $1.5 million, representing all of the original loan proceeds, was forgiven by the SBA.

 

The amount of loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness was based on a formula based on a number of factors, including the amount of loan proceeds used by the Company during the period after the loan origination for certain purposes, including payroll costs, interest on certain mortgage obligations, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, provided that, among other things, at least 60-75% of the loan amount is used for eligible payroll costs, the employer maintaining or rehiring employees and maintaining salaries at a certain level. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act and the PPP, the Company believes it has used the proceeds from the SBA Loans for qualifying expenses.

 

Revolving Credit Line

 

The Company has a $5.0 million credit line for general corporate and working capital purposes, of which $5.0 million was available for borrowing (subject to certain borrowing base limitations) as of February 28, 2022. The credit line is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except retail store assets. Interest on borrowings is at SOFR plus 2.37% (2.42% at February 28, 2022). Additionally, the line of credit is subject to various financial ratio and leverage covenants. At February 28, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The credit line is subject to renewal in September 2022.
