AFCO Finance

The Company has entered into a financing agreement with AFCO Credit Corporation (“AFCO”) purchased through Marsh Insurance on an annual basis to fund the annual premiums on insurance policies due July 1 of each year. These policies relate to workers’ compensation and various liability policies including, but not limited to, General, Auto, Umbrella, Property, and Directors’ and Officers’ insurance. The total amount of the premiums financed during July 2021 was approximately $538,000 with an interest rate of 3.3%. An initial down payment of approximately $134,000 was due on July 1, 2021 with additional monthly payments of approximately $61,000 made beginning August 1, 2021 and ending on April 1, 2022.

The outstanding principal due AFCO at January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was approximately $288,000 and approximately $144,000, respectively.

Payroll Protection Program

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. that provides for a loan in the amount of approximately $1.8 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on April 27, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly amortized principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The Promissory Note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Paycheck Protection Program provides that the use of the PPP Loan amount shall be limited to certain qualifying expenses and may be partially or wholly forgiven in accordance with the requirements set forth in the CARES Act. The PPP Loan was forgiven during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Customer Advance Payments

As of the period ending September 26, 2020, the Company received advance payments authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission and processed through two California utilities for the purposes of sustaining the workforce during the COVID 19 pandemic shutdown. The use of these funds was limited to labor and labor benefits for impacted employees. Portions of these advances are forgivable if certain conditions are met the specifics that have not been finalized. Advance payments that are not forgiven will need to be repaid in full by December 31, 2021. Total funding received under this program, as of September 26, 2020, amounted to approximately $1.2 million. As of January 1, 2022, approximately $1.1 million had been forgiven, and approximately $74,000 had been repaid.
