In fiscal year 2020, the Company obtained an unsecured PPP Loan through Pinnacle in the amount of $4,981,400. The loan was made through the SBA as part of the PPP under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The interest rate is fixed at 1.00% per year, and the Company has accrued but unpaid interest of $51,998 on the PPP Loan as of April 30, 2021, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Under the CARES Act and The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, all or a portion of this loan (principal and interest) may be forgiven if certain requirements are met. The Company believes it has met these requirements and applied for forgiveness of the entire balance of the loan (including accrued interest), submitting an application to Pinnacle on February 22, 2021. If the loan is not forgiven, the Company will pay principal and interest payments of approximately $560,000 every month, beginning ten months following the coverage period which ended September 29, 2020. The Company can repay the PPP Loan without any prepayment penalty. All remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable two years from the effective date of the PPP Loan ( April 15, 2022). As of April 30, 2021, the full amount of the PPP loan is reflected as a current liability.

The Revolver with SLR Business Credit, formerly known as North Mill Capital LLC, (“SLR”) provides the Company with one or more advances in an amount up to: (a) 85% of the aggregate outstanding amount of eligible accounts (the “eligible accounts loan value”); plus (b) the lowest of (i) an amount up to 35% of the aggregate value of eligible inventory, (ii) $5,000,000, and (iii) an amount not to exceed 100% of the then outstanding eligible accounts loan value; minus (c) $1,500,000.

The maximum aggregate principal amount subject to the Revolver is $18,000,000. Interest accrues on the daily balance at the per annum rate of 1.5% above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, but not less than 4.75% (the “Applicable Rate”). In the event of a default, interest may become 6.0% above the Applicable Rate. As of April 30, 2021, the Revolver accrued interest at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% (resulting in a 4.75% rate at April 30, 2021). The initial term of the Revolver is three years, with a termination date of July 24, 2023. After the initial term and unless otherwise terminated, the loan may be extended in one year periods subject to the agreement of SLR.

The Revolver is secured by all of the following assets: properties, rights and interests in property of the Company whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located; all accounts, equipment, commercial tort claims, general intangibles, chattel paper, inventory, negotiable collateral, investment property, financial assets, letter-of-credit rights, supporting obligations, deposit accounts, money or assets of the Company, which hereafter come into the possession, custody, or control of SLR; all proceeds and products, whether tangible or intangible, of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of insurance covering any or all of the foregoing; any and all tangible or intangible property resulting from the sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the foregoing, or any portion thereof or interest therein, and all proceeds thereof; and any other assets of the Company which may be subject to a lien in favor of SLR as security for the obligations under the Loan Agreement.

As of April 30, 2021 the Company had $5.9 million of outstanding borrowings on its Revolver and $2.5 million in available credit. As of October 31, 2020, the Company had $5.0 million of outstanding borrowings on its Revolver and $1.6 million in available credit.
