8. NOTES PAYABLE

 

On September 17, 2019, the Company executed a Promissory Note pursuant to which Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund, extended a loan in the principal amount of $14.0 million to the Company (the “Polar Note”). The Polar Note bore interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum and required monthly interest-only payments. On  September 1, 2020, we extended the maturity of the Polar Note from  October 1, 2020 to  March 31, 2021, at which time the entire outstanding principal balance of $8.8 million and accrued and unpaid interest was to be due and payable. On  September 30, 2020, we paid the extension or renewal fee, which was 4% of the unpaid principal balance.  The principal balance of the Polar Note as of December 31, 2020 consisted of cash received, less cash repayments from property sales of $6.3 million and Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of $1.4 million. The OID was recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the principal of the Polar Note and was recognized as interest expense over the term of the Polar Note commencing on September 17, 2019 through October 1, 2020. There was no unrecognized OID as of December 31, 2020 or March 31, 2021.

 

The Company incurred approximately $1.1 million in legal and underwriting costs related to the transaction. These costs were recorded as debt issuance costs on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the principal of the Polar Note and were amortized over the term of the Polar Note.   During the first quarter of 2021, prior to maturity, the Polar Note was paid in full, mainly from available cash on hand and proceeds of property sales and all unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed.

 

On April 22, 2020, the Company received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan of $10,000 from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to provide economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. This loan advance is not required to be repaid, has no stipulations on use, and has been recorded as fees and other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during fiscal 2020. On  August 17, 2020 we received an additional Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") of $150,000, for which principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months from the date of issuance, and interest accrues at 3.75% per year. The loan matures on August 17, 2050. We have used the funds for general corporate purposes to alleviate economic injury caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which economic injury included abating or deferring rent to certain tenants (primarily retail tenants).

 

On  April 30, 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan of $0.5 million from the SBA to provide additional economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PPP loan, less the $10,000 related to the EIDL received on April 22, 2020, was forgiven by the SBA prior to December 31, 2020 and the remaining $10,000 was fully forgiven in January 2021, upon repeal of the EIDL holdback requirements. On  June 5, 2020, the period in which the loan could be utilized was extended to 24 weeks. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of  December 31, 2020.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the forgiven amount totaling $10,000 was recorded as a gain on extinguishment of debt in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  We have used the funds received from the PPP loan to cover payroll related costs.
