Berkshire Bank Loan Facility On December 21, 2016, TechPrecision, through Ranor, closed on a Loan Agreement, or the Berkshire Loan Agreement, with Berkshire Bank. Pursuant to the Berkshire Loan Agreement, Berkshire Bank made a term loan to Ranor in the amount of $2,850,000, or the Term Loan, and made available to Ranor a revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,000,000, or the Revolver Loan, and together with the Term Loan, collectively, the Berkshire Loans. The Berkshire Loans are secured by a first lien on all personal and real property of Ranor. Payments on the Term Loan began on January 20, 2017 and will be made in 60 monthly installments of $19,260 each, inclusive of interest at a fixed rate of 5.21% per annum, with all outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable on the maturity date. A prepayment penalty will apply during the loan term but will not apply if a prepayment is made from either casualty loss insurance proceeds or a condemnation award applicable to any collateral or if a full prepayment is made during the 45‑day period immediately preceding the maturity date. Advances under the Revolver Loan were originally subject to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of (A) $1,000,000 and (B) the sum of (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, and (ii) the lesser of (a) 25% of eligible raw material inventory and (b) $250,000. Advances made under the Revolver Loan originally bore interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points. Interest-only payments on advances made under the Revolver Loan are payable monthly in arrears. Ranor’s obligations under the Berkshire Loan Agreement are guaranteed by TechPrecision. On December 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Second Modification to Loan Agreement and First Modification and Allonge to Promissory Note with Berkshire Bank, or the Modification. The Modification amended and modified the Berkshire Loan Agreement, and the related Promissory Note dated December 20, 2016 made by Ranor in favor of Berkshire in the stated principal amount of $1,000,000. As of the date of the Modification, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. The maturity date of the Revolver Loan was originally December 20, 2018. Under this Modification, the maturity date of the Revolver Loan was extended until December 20, 2020. On December 23, 2019, TechPrecision, through Ranor, entered into a Third Modification to Loan Agreement, or the Third Modification, and an Amended and Restated Promissory Note with Berkshire Bank. Under the Third Modification, Ranor and Berkshire agreed to increase the maximum principal amount available under the Revolver Loan from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000. Advances under the Revolver Loan are now subject to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of (a) $3,000,000 or (b) the sum of (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of (x) 25% of Eligible Raw Material Inventory, and (y) $250,000, plus (iii) 50% of the Appraised Value of the Eligible Equipment. The loan agreement is available for refinancing existing indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Additionally, the parties agreed to lower the interest rate on advances made under the Revolver Loan at a variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Third Modification contains customary LIBOR replacement provisions. The Company pays, as consideration for the bank’s commitment to make advances under the Revolver Loan, a nonrefundable commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily difference between the amount of $3,000,000 and the aggregate amount of all advances made under the Revolver Loan as of each quarterly period. The Third Modification also excludes the balance of the Revolver Loan from the Loan-to-Value Ratio covenant calculations and excluded the Company’s then-anticipated repayment of its obligations to People’s Capital and Leasing Corp from the calculation of the financial covenants. The Company repaid People’s Capital and Leasing Corp. in full in January 2020, and the debt service requirements related to the People’s Capital and Leasing Corp. obligations was eliminated for purposes of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant calculations and the debt service related to the People’s Capital and Leasing Corp. financing was eliminated from covenant testing starting with the December 31, 2019 covenant test. The Company paid $7,245 of expenses related to the execution of the Second Modification, and paid $41,628 in costs related to the execution of the Third Modification. These expenses were classified as other noncurrent assets, then amortized to interest expense through the period ended March 31, 2021. On December 18, 2020, TechPrecision, through Ranor, entered into a Fourth Modification to Loan Agreement and First Modification and Allonge to Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or the Fourth Modification, with Berkshire Bank. The Modification amends and modifies the Berkshire Loan Agreement. The Fourth Modification also amends the Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated December 23, 2019 made by Ranor in favor of Berkshire in the stated principal amount of $3,000,000. As of the date of the Fourth Modification, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. Under the Fourth Modification, Ranor and Berkshire agreed to revise the minimum interest rate payable on the Revolver Loan. Under the promissory note for the Revolver Loan, the Company can elect to pay interest at an adjusted LIBOR-based rate or an Adjusted Prime Rate. Under the Fourth Modification, the minimum adjusted LIBOR-based rate is 2.75% and the Adjusted Prime Rate is the greater of (i) the Prime Rate minus 70 basis points or (ii) 2.75%. Interest-only payments on advances made under the Revolver Loan will continue to be payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date of the Revolver Loan was also extended to December 20, 2022. All other material terms of the Berkshire Loan Agreement and the promissory note for the Revolver Loan were unchanged. Interest payments on advances made under the Revolver Loan during the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 were $6,664 at a weighted average interest rate of 2.67%. Unused borrowing capacity at March 31, 2021 was $2.7 million. There were no borrowed amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. Unamortized closing costs related to the Fourth Modification were $14,002 at March 31, 2021. The Berkshire Loans may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Berkshire Loan Agreement). Events of Default include (i) the failure to pay any monthly installment payment before the tenth day following the due date of such payment; (ii) the failure of Ranor or TechPrecision to observe, perform or pay any obligations under the Berkshire Loan Agreement or any other obligation to Berkshire; (iii) the failure of Ranor or TechPrecision to pay any indebtedness in excess of $100,000 (other than the Berkshire Loans) when due; (iv) any representation or warranty of Ranor or TechPrecision in the Berkshire Loan Agreement and related documents, or the Loan Documents, being proven to have been incorrect, in any material respect, when made; (v) the failure of Ranor to discharge any attachment, levy or distraint on its property; (vi) any default by Ranor or TechPrecision under any of the collateral security documents executed in connection with the Berkshire Loan Agreement past any applicable grace period; (vii) the failure of Ranor or TechPrecision to file or pay taxes when due, unless such taxes are being contested in a manner permitted under the Loan Documents; (viii) a change in ownership or control of Ranor or change in management of Ranor where either the chief executive officer or chief financial officer as of December 21, 2016 is replaced without Berkshire Bank’s prior consent; (ix) Ranor or TechPrecision ceasing to do business as a going concern, making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or commencing a bankruptcy or other similar insolvency proceeding; and (x) the entry of a judgment against Ranor or TechPrecision in excess of $150,000. Some of the Events of Default are subject to certain cure periods. Subject to the lapse of any applicable cure period, a default under the Berkshire Loans could cause the acceleration of all outstanding obligations under the Berkshire Loans. Pursuant to the Berkshire Loan Agreement, the Company covenants to cause its balance sheet leverage to be less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 and each fiscal year end thereafter. The Berkshire Loan Agreement also contains a covenant whereby the Company is required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio, or DSCR, of at least 1.2 to 1.0 during the term of the Berkshire Loans. The DSCR is measured at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. Other unamortized debt issue costs at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were $8,395 and $20,460, respectively. Ranor's annual capital expenditures cannot exceed $1,500,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 and each fiscal year thereafter. The Berkshire Loan Agreement contains an additional covenant whereby Ranor is required to maintain a loan to value ratio of not greater than 0.75 to 1.00, to be measured by appraisal not more frequently than one time during each 365-day period. Collateral securing the above obligations comprises all personal and real property of TechPrecision and Ranor, including cash, accounts receivable, inventories, equipment, and financial assets. Small Business Administration Loan On May 8, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ranor, issued a promissory note, or the Note, evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $1,317,100 made to Ranor under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP. The PPP was established under the CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The loan to Ranor was made through Berkshire Bank. Principal and accrued interest are payable monthly in equal installments commencing in September 2021 and continuing through the maturity date, unless the Note is forgiven as described below. To be available for loan forgiveness, the Note may only be used for payroll costs, costs related to certain group health care benefits and insurance premiums, rent payments, utility payments, mortgage interest payments and interest payments on any other debt obligations that existed before February 15, 2020. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties and contains events of default and other conditions customary for a Note of this type. For example, the Note contains events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false and misleading representations to the SBA or Berkshire Bank, or breaching the terms of the loan documents. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or the SBA or Berkshire Bank filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company and/or Ranor. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs, certain group health care benefits and insurance premiums, and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. While the Company currently believes that its use of the Note proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness under the PPP, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Note in whole or in part. On June 5, 2020, the PPP was amended to give borrowers more time to spend loan proceeds and still obtain loan forgiveness. The amendments extended the length of the covered period as defined in the CARES Act from eight to twenty-four weeks, while allowing borrowers that received PPP loans before June 5, 2020 to elect to use the original eight-week covered period. In addition, the amendments provide that if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness of a loan within ten months after the last day of the covered period, the PPP loan is no longer deferred and the borrower must begin paying principal and interest. The Company applied for loan forgiveness within the ten month period on March 26, 2021. Unamortized closing costs in connection with the PPP loan were $3,875 at March 31, 2021. On May 12, 2021, the SBA remitted to Berkshire Bank a payment of principal and interest for forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loan. See Note 15 for more information regarding this transaction.
