Department of Economic and Community Development.

On January 8, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) by which the Company received a loan of $300,000 secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “DECD 2018 Loan”). The DECD 2018 Loan is a ten-year loan due on December 31, 2027 and includes interest paid monthly at 3.25%. The maturity date of the DECD 2018 Loan was extended to May 31, 2028 and the modification did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Amortization of the debt issuance costs were $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Financed Insurance Loan.

The Company finances certain of its insurance premiums (the “Financed Insurance Loans”). In July 2022, the Company financed $0.4 million with a 5.99% interest rate and is obligated to make payments on a monthly basis through June 2023. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Financed Insurance Loan’s outstanding balance of $0.3 million and zero, respectively, was included in current maturities of long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. A corresponding prepaid asset was included in other current assets.
