On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with MidCap.  On June 3, 2020, the Company and MidCap entered into a modification agreement to the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement has a term of three years, unless earlier terminated by the parties in accordance with the termination provisions of the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $4.0 million at an interest rate of the 3-month LIBOR interest rate plus 4.75% (6.18% at June 30, 2020) on a revolving credit loan based on accounts receivable, inventory and equipment for general working capital purposes.  As of June 30, 2020, the balance outstanding under the Loan Agreement was $373,000.  The Loan Agreement also requires the payment of certain fees, including a facility fee, an unused credit line fee and a collateral monitoring charge.  The Loan Agreement contains financial and other covenant requirements, including financial covenants that require the Borrowers to attain certain EBITDA amounts for certain periods, the first of which is for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets.


On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a loan note (the “Loan Note”) with Enterprise Bank and Trust (“Lender”) as lender under the CARES Act of the Small Business Administration of the United States of America (“SBA”), dated as of April 20, 2020.  Under the Loan Note, the Company borrowed $810,800 from Lender under the Payment Protection Program (“PPP”) included in the SBA’s CARES Act, all of which is outstanding as of June 30, 2020.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had accrued $2,000 of interest related to the Loan Note, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.    The Loan Note proceeds are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes including payroll costs, including salaries, commissions, and similar compensation, group health care benefits, and paid leave; rent; utilities; and maintains its payroll levels.  The amount of the loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight week period.  The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1.00%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months.  While the Company believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions of forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.
