Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Long-Term Debt Line of Credit
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Loan Agreement, dated February 23, 2018, between Lollicup, as borrower, and Hanmi Bank, as lender (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), the Company has a line of credit with a maximum borrowing capacity of $40,000,000 (the “Line of Credit”) secured by the Company’s assets. The Line of Credit also includes a standby letter of credit sublimit, which was amended and increased to $2,000,000 on August 18, 2022. The Company is not required to pay a commitment (unused) fee on the undrawn portion of the Line of Credit and interest is payable monthly.
On October 6, 2021, the Company amended the Loan Agreement. Prior to October 6, 2021, interest accrued at an annual rate of prime less 0.25% with a minimum floor of 3.75%, and the amount that could be borrowed was subject to a borrowing base that was calculated as a percentage of the accounts receivable and inventory balances measured monthly. Additionally, the Company was required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a minimum current ratio, minimum tangible net worth, minimum debt service coverage ratio, and minimum debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio.
The amendment on October 6, 2021, among other things, (1) extended the maturity date to October 6, 2023, (2) revised the interest on any line of credit borrowings to an annual rate of prime less 0.25%, with a minimum floor of 3.25%, (3) removed the requirement for the maximum amount of borrowings to be subject to a borrowing base requirement that was calculated as a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory balances, (4) removed the minimum tangible net worth and minimum debt service coverage ratio from the financial covenant requirement, and (5) added a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in the financial covenant requirement.
As of December 31, 2022, the maximum remaining amount that could be borrowed under the Line of Credit was $38,930,000. The Company had $0 of borrowings outstanding under the Line of Credit as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021. The amount issued under the standby letter of credit was $1,070,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Line of Credit.
The Company amended the Line of Credit again in March 2023. See Note 19 — Subsequent Events for further discussion.

The Company's refinance of the 2029 Loan with the 2027 Loan in June 2022 was accounted for as a debt modification. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021.
On April 16, 2020, the Company received a $5,000,000 Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act which included, among other terms, an interest rate of 1.00% per annum. The PPP loan was subject to events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. A PPP loan may be forgiven, partially or in full, if certain conditions are met, principally based on having been disbursed for permissible purposes and maintaining certain average levels of employment and payroll as required by the CARES Act. On June 10, 2021, the full amount of the PPP loan was forgiven. A $5,000,000 gain from the forgiveness of the PPP loan was recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.
