BANK DEBT

10. BANK DEBT

Prior to a refinancing with Gorham Savings Bank (GSB) during the first quarter of 2020, we had in place five different credit facilities and a line of credit with TD Bank N.A. (Loans #1 to #5). During the first quarter of 2020, we closed on a debt financing with GSB aggregating $8,600,000 and a $1,000,000 line of credit. The debt is comprised of a $5,100,000 mortgage note (Loan #6) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 10-year term and 25-year amortization schedule and a balloon principal payment of $3,145,888 due during the first quarter of 2030) and a $3,500,000 note (Loan #7) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 7-year term and amortization schedule). The line of credit is available as needed through March 10, 2022. Interest on borrowings against the line of credit is variable at the rate of the one-month LIBOR plus 2.15% per annum. There was no outstanding balance under this line of credit as of December 31, 2020. In connection with these three credit facilities, we incurred debt issuance costs of $39,789. The amortization of debt issuance costs is being recorded as a component of interest expense, included with other (income) expenses, net, and is being amortized over the underlying terms of the two notes and the line of credit. The proceeds from the debt refinancing were used to repay all bank debt outstanding at the time of closing (Loans #1 to #5) and to provide some additional working capital. We were required by bank debt covenant to maintain $1,400,000 in escrow (a non-current asset). During the fourth quarter of 2020, we closed on a $1,500,000 note with GSB (Loan #10) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 7-year term and amortization schedule). In connection with this note, we incurred debt issuance costs of $13,347. The amortization of these debt issuance costs is also being recorded as a component of interest expense, included with other (income) expense, net, and is being amortized over the underlying term of the note. Proceeds of $624,167 were used to prepay a portion of the then outstanding principal on our mortgage loan (Loan #6), which reduced the outstanding balance to 80% of the most recent appraised value of the property securing the debt, which allowed GSB to release the $1,400,000 that had been held in escrow. The remaining proceeds were available for general working capital purposes. These three new credit facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets and are subject to certain restrictions and financial covenants.

During the second quarter of 2020, we received $937,700 in support from the federal government under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) (Loan #8). We used the proceeds only for eligible payroll costs incurred and paid during the 24-week period beginning April 13, 2020. Our obligation to repay the principal was forgiven, and we recognized this amount as part of other (income) expenses, net, during the fourth quarter of 2020. This forgiveness of indebtedness, in accordance with the CARES Act, does not give rise to federal taxable income, and these forgiven expenses may be deducted for federal tax return purposes. The state taxability of the PPP loan forgiveness varies by tax jurisdiction.

During the second quarter of 2020, we received a $500,000 loan from the Maine Technology Institute (Loan #9) that is subordinated to all other bank debt. The first 27 months of this loan are interest-free with no interest accrual or required principal payments. Principal and interest payments at 5% per annum are due quarterly over the final five years of the loan, beginning during the fourth quarter of 2022 and continuing through the third quarter of 2027. The loan may be prepaid without penalty at any time.

Debt proceeds received and principal repayments made during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are reflected in the following tables by year and by loan:
