The Company’s current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue and certain CARES Act grant proceeds) exceeded its current assets by $338,000 as of January 31, 2021.  The note payable to a related party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, with a maturity of November 1, 2022, was $10,692,000 at January 31, 2021, which amount included additional loans made by Mr. Gilbert in fiscal 2020 of $1,435,000, bringing the principal balance owed to $9,585,000, plus capitalized accrued and unpaid interest of $1,107,000.  The capitalized interest included $200,000 incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and all the fiscal 2020 interest of $907,000. The Company has paid the interest due for the first quarter of 2021 in the amount of $266,400.  The Company’s stockholders’ equity had a deficit of $11,175,000 at January 31, 2021. The Company achieved net income of $135,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2021.

 

If the Company’s business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing on commercially reasonable terms. However, the Company has received a commitment from G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, dated March 9, 2021, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through March 10, 2022, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert will provide the Company with the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

 

The CARES Act was enacted in March 2020 and provided economic support for, among others, businesses in the aviation industry.  The Company has received three grants under the CARES Act, totaling approximately $5,188,000, as described in more detail below.

 

1.In July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to receive an aggregate of $3,003,000 in emergency relief through the CARES Act Payroll Support Program (“PSP1”). The relief payments were received in three installments from July 2020 through September 2020.  Pursuant to the Payroll Support Program Agreement, the relief payments must be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of certain employee wages, salaries and benefits.  The relief payments are conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through September 30, 2020.  Other conditions include prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through September 30, 2021, and certain limitations on executive compensation.   

2.On February 12, 2021, the Company received an additional “top off” disbursement of $875,000 under PSP1, subject to the terms and conditions described above. 

3.On March 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement (“PSP2”) with the U.S. Department of the Treasury for an award the Company will receive under the CARES Act Payroll Support Program.  The total amount expected to be awarded to the Company under PSP2 is approximately $1,310,000.  On March 8, 2021, the Company received approximately $655,000 of the funds expected under PSP2.  As with the original grant under PSP1, PSP2 proceeds are to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of certain employee wages, salaries, and benefits. The relief payments are conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through the later of March 31, 2021, or the date on which the Company has expended all of the payroll support.  Other conditions include prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through March 31, 2022, and certain limitations on executive compensation.
