NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. Although the Company is not currently required to suspend all of its business under local or federal laws, the Company has allowed certain non-essential employees to work remotely. Nonetheless, the Company s faces certain risks caused by COVID-19, including, without limitation:

 

  Interruptions of production due to supply chain disruptions;
  Reduced customer demand due to the overall state of the economy; and
  Delayed cash collections (most notably, from JSAT and automobile dealerships).

 

All of the above will have a material adverse impact on the Company. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. Therefore, while we expect this matter to negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, the extent of this impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In the interim, the Company has furloughed some employees in expectation of reduced business and may consider other mitigating actions in the short-term.

 

In April 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of approximately $894,000 (the “PPP Loan”) under the new Paycheck Protection Program legislation administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The proceeds of the PPP Loan must be used for payroll costs, lease payments on agreements before February 15, 2020 and utility payments under agreements before February 1, 2020. At least 60% of the proceeds must be used for payroll costs and certain other expenses, and no more than 40% on non-payroll expenses. Proceeds from the PPP Loan used by the Company for the approved expense categories will generally be fully forgiven by the lender if the Company satisfies applicable employee headcount and compensation requirements. The Company currently believes that a majority of the PPP Loan proceeds will qualify for debt forgiveness; however, there can be no assurance that we will qualify for forgiveness from the Small Business Administration until it occurs.
