Webster Bank (“Webster”) The Company has a loan facility (“Webster Facility”) with Webster Bank that expires on December 30, 2025. The Webster Facility, which was first entered into on December 31, 2019, was amended several times, and now provides for a $20,000,000 revolving loan (“Revolving Line of Credit”), a $5,000,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 Equipment Line of Credit, which as it is drawn upon is added to the balance of the Term Loan. On December 15, 2022, the Company made a draw against the capital expenditure line of credit in the amount of $877,913. The principal payments are $10,451 per month commencing in February 2023 with a balloon payment due on December 30, 2025. On January 4, 2023, the Company made an additional draw against the capital expenditure line of credit in the amount of $739,500. The principal payments are $8,804 per month commencing in March 2023 with a balloon payment due on December 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2023, there is currently $8,444,000 outstanding under the Webster Revolving Loan and $5,275,000 under the Webster term loan, inclusive of amounts drawn under the Equipment Line of Credit. Additionally, there is $382,000 remaining available under the equipment line of credit. The below table shows the timing of payments due under the Term Loan:

As of December 31, 2022, our debt to Webster in the amount of $18,748,000 consisted of the Webster Revolving Loan in the amount of $13,352,000 and the Webster term loan in the amount of $5,396,000 which included $878,000 drawn on the equipment line of credit. As discussed in Note 1, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its financial covenants in one of the upcoming fiscal quarters over the next twelve months, therefore in accordance with the guidance in ASC 470-10-45 related to the classification of callable debt the entire term loan has been classified as short term as of September 30,2023. Interest expense related to the Webster Facility amounted to approximately $380,000 and $204,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1,084,000 and $506,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The below summarizes historical amendments to the Webster Facility and various terms: For so long as the Webster term loan remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive number for any fiscal year the Company shall pay to Webster an amount equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. Such payment shall be made to Webster and applied to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, on or prior to the April 15 immediately following such fiscal year. The Company made an Excess Cash Flow payment of $854,000 in April 2022 (for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021). As required, the Company provided the calculation for the Excess Cash Flow payment of $195,000 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to Webster prior to the April 15, 2023 deadline for such payment and authorized such payment to be made from the Revolving Loan. On June 13, 2023, Webster applied this payment to the term loan. On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Webster Facility (“Fourth Amendment”). The purpose of the amendment was to increase the Term Loan to $5,000,000, generating proceeds of $1,945,000, reduce the monthly principal installments to be made in respect to the term loan, and establish a capital expenditure line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 which the Company can draw upon from time to time to finance purchases of machinery and equipment, thereby increasing the amount of capital expenditures that the Company may make each year. The principal payments are $59,524 per month commencing in June 2022 with a balloon payment due on December 30, 2025. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $20,000. Under the terms of the Webster Facility, both the Webster revolving line of credit and the Webster term loan will bear an interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 3.50% and (ii) a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum published from time to time in the “Money Rates” table of the Wall Street Journal (or such other presentation within The Wall Street Journal as may be adopted hereafter for such information) as the base or prime rate for corporate loans at the nation’s largest commercial bank, less sixty-five hundredths (-0.65%) of one percent per annum. The average interest rate charged was 7.78% and 4.70% the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and was 7.44% and 3.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Webster Facility limits the amount of Capital Expenditures and dividends the Company can pay to its stockholders. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Webster Facility. All amendment fees paid in connection with the Webster Facility that are for a future benefit of the Company are included in Deferred Financing Costs, Net, Deposits and Other Assets, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the loan. The Webster Facility required that the Company maintain a defined Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 at the end of each Fiscal Quarter. On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Webster Facility (“Fifth Amendment”). The amendment waived the default caused by the failure to achieve the required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2023 and decreased the required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to 0.95 to 1.00 for the Fiscal Quarters ending June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. Additionally, the Fifth Amendment increased the amount of purchase money secured Debt (including Finance Leases) the Company is allowed to have outstanding at any time to $2,000,000. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment fee of $10,000. On November 20, 2023, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Webster Facility (“Sixth Amendment”). The amendment waived the default caused by the failure to achieve the required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2023 and the fact that the Company’s Capital Expenditures were in excess of the amount permitted in the Webster Facility. The Sixth Amendment allows for the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be calculated on a rolling basis (w) for the Fiscal Quarter Ending December 31, 2023, three month basis, (x) for the Fiscal Quarter Ending March 31, 2024, six month basis, (y) for the Fiscal Quarter Ending June 30, 2024, nine month basis, and (z) for all other Fiscal Quarters, twelve month basis. Additionally, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be less than (i) 0.95 to 1.00 for the Fiscal Quarters ending June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, (ii) 1.10 to 1.00 for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2024, (iii) 1.20 to 1.00 for the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2024, and (iv) 1.25 to 1.00 for all other Fiscal Quarters. The Sixth Amendment has increased the Capital Expenditure limit to $2,500,000 in any Fiscal Year. In connection with these changes, the Company paid an amendment for of $20,000. As a result of the Company’s entry into the Sixth Amendment, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Webster Facility for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2023. Connecticut Green Bank (“Green Bank”) On August 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with Green Bank, a quasi-public agency of the State of Connecticut, for the installation of solar energy systems including replacing the existing roof (“Project”) at its Sterling facility. Advances are made by Green Bank upon its approval of costs incurred on the Project up to $934,553. As of September 30, 2023, an advance of $393,233 had been made including the payment of Green Bank’s closing costs of $25,233. Interest accrues at the rate of 5% on advances and is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal of the loan. Upon project completion, the cumulative total of the advances and capitalized interest will convert to a 20-year level payment term loan with interest accruing at the rate of 5.75%. Semi-annual payments are projected to be approximately $41,000 inclusive of interest over the 20-year term. Finance Lease Obligations The Company entered into a finance lease in November of 2022 for the purchase of new manufacturing equipment. Additionally, during May of 2023, the Company entered into an additional finance lease for the purchase of additional manufacturing equipment. The obligations for the finance leases totaled $962,000 and $328,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The leases have an average imputed interest rate of 7.32% per annum and are payable monthly with the final payments due between September of 2026 and May of 2030.
