CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

(9) CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

 

In March 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus was declared a global pandemic and a National Public Health Emergency. The novel coronavirus pandemic and related “shelter-in-place” orders and other governmental mandates relating thereto (collectively, “COVID-19”) adversely affected and will, in all likelihood continue to adversely affect, our restaurant operations and financial results for the foreseeable future. Throughout the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, in accordance with guidance from health officials, we have offered both indoor and outdoor food and bar options at all of our restaurants, with, among other precautions appropriate social distancing and mask requirements for all customers and employees.

 

During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we, certain of the entities owning the limited partnership stores (the “LP’s”), franchised stores (the “Franchisees”) as well as the store we manage but do not own (the “Managed Store”), (collectively, the “Borrowers”), applied for and received loans from an unrelated third party lender pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted March 27, 2020, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $13.1 million, (the “PPP Loans”), of which approximately: (i) $5.9 million was loaned to us; (ii) $4.1 million was loaned to 8 of the LP’s; (iii) $2.6 million was loaned to 5 of the Franchisees; and (iv) $0.5 million was loaned to the Managed Store. The PPP Loans to the Franchisees and the Managed Store are not included in our consolidated financial statements. Under the terms of the PPP Loans, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent the proceeds of the PPP Loans are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we applied for forgiveness for all PPP Loans, including Franchisees and the Managed Store and the entire amount of principal and accrued interest was forgiven for 7 of our limited partnerships, 2 of our Franchisees and the Managed Store (principal amount of approximately $5,208,000). Accordingly, during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, we recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $3,653,000 of PPP Loans ($3,622,000 of principal and $31,000 of interest). Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, the entire amount of principal and accrued interest was forgiven for our remaining limited partnership and for 2 of our Franchisees (principal amount of approximately $1,291,000).

 

During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2021, certain of the entities owning the limited partnership stores (the “LP’s”), as well as the store we manage but do not own (the “Managed Store”), (collectively, the “Borrowers”), applied for and received 2nd PPP loans, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.98 million (the “2nd PPP Loans”), of which approximately: (i) $3.35 million was loaned to 6 of the LP’s; and (iv) $0.63 million was loaned to the Managed Store.

The 2nd PPP Loans, which are in the form of Notes issued by each of the Borrowers, mature five years from the date of funding (March 23, 2021) and bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing after the U.S. Small Business Administration makes a determination of the forgiveness of the 2nd PPP Loans. The Notes may be prepaid by the applicable Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loans will be available to the respective Borrower to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, including rent and interest on mortgages and other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent the proceeds of the 2nd PPP Loans are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP. No assurance can be given that the Borrowers will obtain forgiveness of the 2nd PPP Loans in whole or in part.

With respect to any portion of any of the 2nd PPP Loans that is not forgiven under the terms of the PPP, such amounts will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the applicable 2nd PPP Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the lender or other creditors.
