Subsequent Events | NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to its disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the following items: Option Exercises In April 2020, 117,333 options were exercised on a cashless basis into 74,805 shares of common stock. Paycheck Protection Program Loan On April 17, 2020, the Company entered into a loan transaction pursuant to which it received proceeds of $1,001,640 (the “PPP Loan”) on May 8, 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying companies and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The PPL Loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of April 17, 2020 (the “Note”), between the Company and M&T Bank (the “Lender”). The Note has a two-year term, bears interest at the rate of 1.0% per annum, and may be prepaid at any time without payment of any premium. No payments of principal or interest are due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the Note (the “Deferral Period”). Beginning on the seventh month following the date of the Note, the Company is required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $56,088.24. 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 and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. However, at least 75 percent of the PPP Loan proceeds must be used for eligible payroll costs. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. In order to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, the Company must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding its compliance with applicable requirements. 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. The Company must repay any unforgiven principal amount of the Note, with interest, on a monthly basis following the Deferral Period. The Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations, warranties or covenants. 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 filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Impact of Covid 19 In December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak occurred in China and has since spread to other parts of the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak. Along with these declarations, extraordinary and wide-ranging actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and the world. These actions include quarantines, social distancing and “stay-at-home” orders, travel restrictions, mandatory business closures and other mandates that have substantially restricted individuals’ daily activities and curtailed or ceased many businesses’ normal operations. In response to the pandemic and these actions, the Company began implementing changes in its business in March 2020 to protect its employees and customers: · The Company implemented social distancing and other health and safety protocols. · The Company has flexed the workforce in its manufacturing operations based on business needs, including the addition of a second shift and · The Company has enhanced cleaning and sanitary procedures. · The Company temporarily eliminated domestic and international travel. · The Company restricted access to its facilities to only employees and essential non-employees with strict protocols. While all of these measures have been necessary and appropriate, they may result in additional costs and may adversely impact the Company’s business and financial performance. As the Company’s response to the pandemic evolves, the Company may incur additional costs and will potentially experience adverse impacts to its business, each of which may be significant. In addition, an extended period of remote work arrangements could impair the Company’s ability to effectively manage its business, and introduce additional operational risks, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, or other similar events and intrusions. The Company may COVID-19 has also impacted various aspects of the supply chain as the Company’s suppliers experience similar business disruptions due to operating restrictions from government mandates. The Company continues to monitor procurement of raw materials and components used in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of our products, but continued disruptions in the supply chain due to COVID-19 may cause difficulty in sourcing materials or unexpected shortages or delays in delivery of raw materials and components, and may result in increased costs in our supply chain. The Company has implemented plans to reduce spending in certain areas of its business, including reductions or delays in capital expenditures, reduced trade show participation costs, reduced travel expenditures and may need to take additional actions to reduce spending in the future. The Company is closely monitoring and assessing the impact of the pandemic on its business. The extent of the impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and financial performance, as well as the Company’s ability to execute near- and long-term business strategies and initiatives, will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. Given the inherent uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the Company expects the pandemic may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s business in the near term. Should these conditions persist for a prolonged period, the COVID-19 pandemic, including any of the above factors and others that are currently unknown, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and financial condition. |
