Material Changes
The primary material change is the creation of a direct financial obligation of $5.8 million. This represents new debt incurred to support operations during the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company intends to utilize the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses, primarily payroll costs, to seek loan forgiveness.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary and Intent:
- The Company intends to use the full $5.8 million for qualifying expenses under the PPP.
- Eligibility for forgiveness requires that at least 75% of the loan amount be used for eligible payroll costs during the eight-week covered period.
- Forgiveness is contingent on maintaining or rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Forgiveness Uncertainty: No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
- Default Provisions: The Note includes customary events of default, including failure to make payments, bankruptcy proceedings, adverse changes in financial condition, or failure to pay taxes. Upon default, the Bank may require immediate payment of all amounts owed.
- Regulatory Compliance: Forgiveness is subject to SBA requirements and limitations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's actual utilization of the $5.8 million loan proceeds against the 75% payroll cost requirement for forgiveness.
- Monitor the Company's employee retention and salary maintenance levels during the eight-week covered period.
- Review the upcoming Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, for the full text of the promissory note and updated liquidity position.
- Assess the Company's ability to service the debt (principal and interest) if loan forgiveness is denied or only partial.
