NOTE 12. DEFERRED GRANTS
 
The Company received grants for certain facility improvements from state and local agencies in which the Company operates. These grants reimburse the Company for a portion of the actual cost or provide in kind services in support of capital projects. During the quarter ended June 28, 2013, the Company received grant proceeds of $0.18 million, from such grant programs.
 
One of the Company’s grants is a loan to grant agreement. The Company has signed a promissory note, which will be forgiven if certain employment targets are obtained at future dates. If the employment targets are not obtained, the Company is obligated to repay the loan with interest. As the Company intends to comply with these agreements, the Company has recorded the funds received as other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.
 
The Company is also the recipient of matching grants from two local governmental agencies related to certain renovations for one of its operating locations. One agency is contributing in kind services and property of $0.1 million while the other is contributing cash of $0.1 million to match expenditures by the Company of at least the same amount.
 
The grants will be amortized over the useful lives of the related fixed assets when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the employment targets. There has been no amortization recorded for the deferred grants through June 28, 2013.
