(16) COVID-19 PANDEMIC

 

The short term impact of COVID-19 are the result of government directives, first from the City of Denver, CO, and subsequently from the States of Colorado and Florida requiring only pick-up and delivery orders of food and beverages. Under these directives we were required to close our dining areas in all our restaurants. This has caused a fall-off in business, which has been somewhat offset by an increase in pick-up and delivery orders. We have been able to keep our restaurants open for pick-up and delivery orders. This in turn has allowed us to continue to employ our staff at the restaurants. We intend to continue to pay our employees through this crisis in the hopes that once the crisis has passed and we will be allowed to return to more normal operations we can do so quickly by bringing our existing staff back in without having to train a large number of new staff. Our Denver area locations were allowed to resume 50% of dining facilities beginning on May 29.

 

The Company has had to develop and implement new policies and procedures for use in all of it restaurants to foster continued customer confidence when they purchase food from us during this crisis. The Company has had to develop and implement procedures for “drive through” pick up orders as none of our restaurants are equipped with drive through windows. We have expended considerable time and effort developing multiple means to get the information out to the buying public that all our restaurants are open for pick-up and delivery orders.

 

The Company temporarily closed our El Senor Sol - Evergreen, CO location because it was not receiving sufficient take out/delivery orders to make sense remaining open. The Company elected to re-brand this location during this. The Company had been seeking to complete a re-branding in a way that would cause the least financial harm. The pandemic provided a perfect opportunity. The location’s new brand is Kalaka Mexican Kitchen.

 

The State of Colorado required all restaurants to cease seating patrons and go to only pick up/delivery orders only beginning in mid-March 2020. This requirement caused a 14% drop in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020 over the same period in 2019.

 

During the state imposed pandemic requirement to reduce operations, the lenders of the Future Receivable Sales Agreements agreed to lower the payments due to them. Also the party holding the remaining One Year Note and one of the Fixed Rate Convertible Notes agreed to a 90 day extension to the maturity and a subsequent 90 day extension upon payment of the initial one year interest in the amount of $40,000. Several holders of Variable Rate Convertible Notes have also agreed to 90 day extensions to the maturity of their notes. The Company has requested extensions on the balance of the Variable Rate Convertible Notes, but has not received a response from the lenders.
