– Line of credit and PPP Loan

Line of credit

In

November 2019,

we entered into an agreement for a revolving line of credit (“LOC”) in the amount of

$5.0

million. Amounts outstanding under the LOC shall bear interest at a rate of

2.0%

plus LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (“base interest rate”), with interest payable on the

first

day of each month. Borrowings under the LOC are secured by a security interest in certain assets of the Company. The LOC contains certain loan covenants. Failure to maintain the loan covenants

may

constitute an event of default, resulting in all outstanding amounts of principal and interest becoming immediately due and payable. All outstanding principal and interest is due and payable on

December 1, 2021.

For the period ending

October 31, 2020,

we obtained a waiver with respect to the LOC that waived the Company to be in compliance of the financial covenants for the period. Additionally, as of

October 31, 2020,

no

amounts were outstanding under the line of credit.

PPP Loan

In

May 2020,

we applied for and received loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the CARES Act totaling approximately

$2.8

million (“PPP Loans”). The funds from the PPP Loans were used to retain employees, maintain payroll and benefits, and make lease and utility payments. Without the PPP Loans, we would have made material reductions in our workforce (particularly at our New York facility). We anticipate that most of the PPP Loans will be eligible for forgiveness in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act. To the extent

not

forgiven, the PPP Loans have a

two

-year term, a fixed interest rate of

1%,

and principal and interest payments are deferred for

six

months.

Future minimum loan payments as of

October 31, 2020

were as follows:

Year ended October 31,	PPP Loan
2021	$	1,699
2022		1,089
Total future minimum payments	$	2,788
