Note L: Commitments and Contingencies

 

Debt


Under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), the United States Small Business Administration ("SBA") approved the Company's application to receive a loan in the amount of $923,700 (the "PPP Loan").  The PPP was established under the congressionally approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and is administered by the SBA.  The PPP Loan to the Company was made through BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the "Lender"). On April 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the PPP Loan, and the Company signed the promissory note (the "Note") evidencing the PPP Loan, which was dated as of April 17, 2020.  The Lender distributed the $923,700 of proceeds of the PPP Loan to the Company on April 222020.

 

The term of the PPP loan was 24 months after the date of the Note (the "Maturity Date").  The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan was 1.00%.  No payments of principal or interest were due during the nine months beginning on the date of the Note (the "Deferred Period").  The Company's obligations under the Note were not secured by a security interest in the Company's assets.  The Note required the Lender's consent if the Company wanted to reorganize, merge, consolidate, or otherwise change its ownership or structure.  The Note contained customary events of default by the Company relating to, among other things, payment defaults and the breach of representations and warranties or other provisions of the Note.  Upon a default by the Company under the Note, the Lender could have accelerated the Company's obligations under the Note and pursued its rights against the Company under applicable law, including by filing suit and obtaining a judgment against the Company.

 

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans made under the PPP after 24 weeks if the recipients use the PPP loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. On February 2, 2021, the Company was notified by the Lender that the Lender had received payment in full of the PPP Loan from the United States government, and the Company's PPP Loan had been forgiven.  The Company recognized the amount of the loan principal and accrued interest forgiven totaling approximately $931,000 as other non-operating income in the first quarter of 2021.

Litigation

 

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with GAAP, we record a liability in our Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to any currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.
