Long-Term Debt and Shareholders' Equity

8. Long-Term Debt and Shareholders’ Equity

Long-term debt consists of borrowings under the Company’s revolving loan agreement with HSBC Bank, N.A. The agreement provides for borrowings of up to $50 million at Prime Rate less 1.25%. The credit facility has an expiration date of May 24, 2023. The Company must pay a facility fee, payable quarterly, in an amount equal to two tenths of one percent (.20%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit line.  The facility is intended to provide liquidity for growth, share repurchases, dividends, acquisition and other business activities.  Under the revolving loan agreement, the Company is required to maintain specific amounts of tangible net worth, a specified debt to net worth ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio and must have annual net income greater than zero, measured as of the end of each fiscal year. December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants then in effect under the loan agreement.  

As of December 31, 2020, $38,767,167 was outstanding and $11,232,833 was available for borrowing under the Company’s revolving loan agreement.

The Company’s First Aid Only manufacturing and distribution center in Vancouver, WA was financed by a variable rate mortgage with HSBC Bank, N.A. at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%. Commencing on December 1, 2017, principal payments of $22,222 are due monthly, with all amounts outstanding due on maturity on October 31, 2024. Minimum annual mortgage payments are due as follows: 2021 - $266,667; 2022 - $266,667; 2023 - $266,667; 2024 - $266,667; 2025 - $266,667; and thereafter - $1,844,443.             

 

On November 14, 2019, the Company announced a Common Stock repurchase program of up to a total of 200,000 shares. The program does not have an expiration date. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 14,420 shares of its Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 203,579 shares may be purchased in the future under the repurchase programs announced in 2010 and 2019.

 

On May 7, 2020, the Company received a loan (the “PPP Loan”) from HSBC Bank, N.A. in the amount of $3,508,047 under the Paycheck Protection Program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.  Subject to potential forgiveness, as described below, the PPP Loan matures in two years on May 8, 2022, bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per year and is evidenced by a promissory note dated May 7, 2020 (the “Note”).  Monthly payments of principal and interest are deferred until after any application for forgiveness submitted by the Company has been acted upon, as described below.  The PPP Loan is unsecured and federally guaranteed.  The Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments of principal and interest and breaches of representations and warranties.  The Company may prepay the PPP Loan at any time prior to maturity with no penalty.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be eligible to be forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and the lender upon application by the Company, provided that the Company shall have used the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including the payment of payroll, benefits, rent, mortgage interest and utilities, during the 24 week period beginning on the date of funding of the loan (the “covered period”).  Not more than 40% of the amount forgiven may be for non-payroll costs.

Consistent with the requirements of the PPP for loan forgiveness, the Company used the loan proceeds solely for payment of payroll and otherwise in a manner which it believes satisfy the requirements for loan forgiveness.  In August 2020, the Company submitted an application for forgiveness of the entire amount of the PPP loan to HSBC Bank, N.A. (the Lender).  The lender approved the forgiveness application and, on August 26, 2020, submitted the Company’s application to the SBA for its approval. The SBA subsequently asked the Company to provide certain additional information and documentation in connection with it review of the Company’s forgiveness application and the Company has done so. The application is presently pending.  No assurance can be given that the Company’s application for loan forgiveness will be approved by the SBA, in whole or in part.

The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. Under the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their loan documentation for six years after the PPP loan was forgiven or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request

The carrying value of the Company’s bank debt is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the nature of its payment terms and maturity.
