We have evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing on March 30, 2017, the date we have issued this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of such date, except as described below, there were no material, reportable subsequent events.

During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired a 4,114 square foot building that is adjacent to our Nisin production plant for additional warehousing and storage space. The purchase price was $465,500, and we financed this purchase, in part, with a mortgage loan in the amount of $340,000 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% with monthly principal and interest payments due for ten years based on a twenty-year amortization schedule.

During the first quarter of 2017, we amended two loan agreements, as described in Note 11, increasing the total available loan amount from up to approximately $4.5 million to up to approximately $6.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2017, we discontinued the production and sale of our topical wipes product line. In connection therewith, we wrote off approximately $38,000 worth of fixed assets and recognized $45,000 from the sale of certain other fixed assets and product rights, resulting in a net gain of approximately $7,000.

During the first quarter of 2017, our $500,000 line of credit was extended through August 29, 2017.
