Note Receivable
 
AMSC entered into a purchase and sale agreement dated
February 1, 2018
for the Devens facility (including land, building and building improvements) located at
64
Jackson Road, Devens, Massachusetts to
64
Jackson Road, LLC, a limited liability company, in the amount of
$23.0
million. The terms for payment included a
$1.0
million security deposit, and a note receivable for
$6.0
million payable to AMSC with the remaining cash net of certain adjustments for closing costs at the date of settlement.
 
The note receivable was due in
two
$3.0
million installments plus accrued interest at
1.96%
rate.  The
first
installment was paid on
March 28, 2019
and the
second
installment was paid
May 23, 2019.
The note was subordinate to East Boston Savings Bank's mortgage on the Devens property. The note receivable was discounted to its present value of
$5.7
million utilizing a discount rate of
6%,
which was based on management’s assessment of what an appropriate loan at current market rate would be. The
$0.3
million discount was recorded as an offset to the long term portion of the note receivable.  As of
March 31, 2019,
the remaining
$0.1
million discount was being amortized to interest income as an offset to the short-term portion of the note, over the remaining term of the note.
 
In addition, the resulting gain of
$0.1
million from the sale of the Devens property which was deferred previously was recorded as a component of the cumulative effect of an accounting change upon the adoption of ASU
2017
-
05
which was issued as a part of ASU
2014
-
09.
This gain was recorded as an offset to the opening accumulated deficit as of
April 1, 2018.
