COVID-19 Impact
COVID-19 Impact	NOTE 16 – COVID-19 Impact The COVID-19 pandemic, first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, continues to spread worldwide, causing weakened international economic conditions. Torotel provides end products to the defense industry and is considered an essential business. We have been fully operating throughout the pandemic. Due to the concerns around the outbreak of COVID-19, we have implemented several new policies and procedures based on CDC recommendations. All of our employees who do not have critical functions requiring them to be on-site have been working remotely to lower the number of people within the facilities. For those employees required to work on-site, we have implemented new measures including increased distancing of workstations, closed access to common areas and meeting rooms, increased cleaning efforts, implemented face mask requirements, further restricted access to our premises by suppliers and customers, and other safety precautions. We expect to continue these changes for the foreseeable future. As a result of the pandemic, there is significant uncertainty around the U.S. and global economy, U.S. Department of Defense spending as a result of potential budget cuts, future customer demand, supply chain availability, oil price fluctuations, cash collections, and costs related to our changes to help ensure the safety and well-being of our employees. Late in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we have experienced lower commercial aerospace sales as a result of COVID-19. Due to this change in sales and the significant uncertainties outlined above in April 2020, we applied for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the Small Business Association. On April 15, 2020, Torotel received $1.9 million in PPP funds. We intend to use these funds from this loan only for the purposes included in the PPP, including payroll, employee benefits, rent, utilities and interest on certain finance agreements (See Note 5). At the date of this filing, the full extent of which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.
