Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year.

Note 4. Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

 

On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank. Terms used, but not defined, in this and the following paragraphs of this Note 4 have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement. This facility replaced a previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto (which included Wells) and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent. The discussion below is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Credit Agreement and related documents, including Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3, and references below to the Credit Agreement include such amendments, except where otherwise indicated.

The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset basedasset-based revolving credit facility of up to $80 million (the “2020 Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on April 29, 2024. The 2020 Revolving Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million letter of credit sublimit and provides for the issuance of Swingline Loans. The applicable Credit Agreement also includes a provision permitting the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount of the commitments under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility to an aggregate commitment amount of up to $125 million with optional additional commitments from then existing Lenders or new commitments from additional lenders, although no Lender is obligated to increase its commitment. Availability is determined in accordance with the Borrowing Base, which is generally 85% of Eligible Accounts minus the Dilution Reserve, plus a calculated value of Eligible Inventory aged less than 181 days plus the lesser of an Aged Inventory Cap (currently $2,750,000$2,500,000 and which reduces over time to $2,000,000) and a calculated value of Inventory aged more than 180 days minus a calculated Reserve, as further detailed and set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings initially accrued interest from the applicable borrowing date:  (A) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin of 2.25% until the March 28, 2021 financial statements were delivered, and thereafter (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%; (B) if a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin of 1.25% per annum until the March 28, 2021 financial statements were delivered, and thereafter (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.00%. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the Base Rate Margin was changed and is now equal to 1.25% through

Table of Contents

December 31, 2022 and at all times thereafter that the Monthly Average Excess Availability for the most

Table of Contents

recently ended calendar month is less than 40% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, or 1.00%, if, after December 31, 2022, the Monthly Average Excess Availability is equal to or more than 40% of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and the LIBOR Rate Margin (or the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans determined by reference to the Daily One Month LIBOR), is now equal to 2.25% through December 31, 2022 and at all times thereafter that the Monthly Average Excess Availability for the most recently ended calendar month is less than 40% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, or 2.00% if, after December 31, 2022, equal to or more than 40% of the Maximum Revolver Amount. The Credit Agreement previously contained a LIBOR floor of 0.25% so that if the LIBOR Rate is below 0.25%, then the LIBOR Rate will be deemed to be equal to 0.25% for purposes of the Credit Agreement, but that floor is now equal to 0.00%

The Company is required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee on the average daily unused portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%.

The Credit Agreement previouslyinitially contained 1one financial covenant, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which under the terms of the Credit Agreement as initially established, was tested only if Excess Availability (generally, borrowing availability less the aggregate of trade payables and book overdrafts, each in excess of historical amounts) iswas less than the greater of (a) 16.7% of the maximum amount of the Credit Facility (at closing, $12,525,000) and (b) $12,500,000. The application of this covenant and the Excess Availability requirement have since been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 3 discussed below. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions that could limit our ability to engage in specified transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters.

Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility were initially used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under the previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Truist Bank as administrative agent, and may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and as further provided in, and subject to the applicable terms of, the Credit Agreement. As amended as discussed below, the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility currently provides for borrowings of up to $80.0 million. As of June 26,September 25, 2022, borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $41.7$53.5 million and, therefore, the Company had $38.3$26.5 million available for borrowing, subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms referenced here, including the Availability Block discussed below. The 2020 Revolving Credit Facility has no lockbox arrangement associated with it and, therefore the outstanding balance is classified as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 26,September 25, 2022. Accordingly, borrowings from and repayments to the Company’s current line of credit are reflected on a gross basis in the cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is required to make certain prepayments under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility under certain circumstances, including from net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions in excess of certain thresholds.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants and restrictions on, among other things: (i) Indebtedness, (ii) liens, (iii) fundamental changes, (iv) disposition of assets, (v) restricted payments (including certain restrictions on redemptions and dividends), (vi) investments and (vii) transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, misrepresentations, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a Change of Control and the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents.

the Credit Agreement and other operating subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), and Wells, as Administrative Agent, the Obligations, which include the obligations under the Credit Agreement, are guaranteed by the Loan Parties, and secured by continuing first priority security interests in the Company’s and the other Loan Parties’ (including both borrowers and guarantors) Accounts, Books, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, General Intangibles, Inventory, Negotiable Collateral, Supporting Obligations, and all Money, Cash Equivalents or other assets that come into the possession, custody or control of the Agent or any Lender, and certain related assets, and the proceeds and products of any of the foregoing (the “Collateral”). The security interests in the Collateral are in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement from time to time and any other holders of the Obligations. The Obligations secured also include certain other obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders and their affiliates arising from time to time, relating to swaps, hedges and cash management and other bank products.

The 2020 Revolving Credit Facility also restricts our ability to pay dividends and to repurchase our shares.  Assuming that no default exists, we may redeem or repurchase up to $2,000,000 of our shares in any twelve consecutive month period in connection with the payment or satisfaction of tax withholding obligations of participants under our equity compensation plans.  We may pay dividends or effect redemptions provided that no default exists or will exist after giving effect to the dividend or repurchase, and the average Excess Availability is not less than $20,000,000 during the immediately preceding thirty-day period and after giving effect to the dividend or repurchase on a pro forma basis, and for each day of the thirty-day period not less than $13,280,000.  Excess Availability is generally defined as Availability minus the aggregate amount of trade payables aged in excess of historical levels and all book overdrafts in excess of historical practices.

On June 26,September 25, 2022, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility was 3.88%5.33%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 3.25%4.71%. Under certain circumstances, the Applicable Rate is subject to change at the Lenders’ option from the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Following an Event of Default, the Lenders may at their option increase the applicable per annum rate to a rate equal to 2two percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate and, with certain events of default, such increase is automatic, and, at the written election of the Agent or the Required Lenders at any time while an Event of Default exists, the Company will no longer have the option to request that revolving loans be based on the LIBOR Rate or the Daily One Month Libor Rate.

Amendment No. 1

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”), between Tessco and Wells, Wells agreed to a 25-basis point reduction in certain otherwise applicable rates and fees over an agreed period, and the Company and Wells agreed to, among others, certain changes related to the LIBOR rate option to simplify day-to-day management of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. These terms have since been further amended and, pursuant to Amendment No. 3 the(as defined below), these interest rate terms have been superseded, with the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin now as discussed above.

Amendment No. 2

In anticipation of TESSCO Reno Holding, LLC (“Reno Holding”) entering into the Real Estate Note of Reno Holding (the “Note”), as discussed further in Note 5, the Company, TESSCO Inc. and our other operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Consent dated December 29,

2021 (“Amendment No. 2”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, and subject to its terms and conditions, among

Table of Contents

other things, Wells consented to the Note, without requiring that Reno Holding become a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 3

On January 5, 2022, at the Company’s request, the Company and its operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Guaranty and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”), subject to the terms and conditions of which Wells agreed to increase the Commitment under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility from $75 million to $80 million. Among the terms and conditions, the Company agreed to revert to the interest rate margins originally provided for under the terms of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility (and which had previously been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement), as well as change to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin, as discussed above, and agreed to a $10 million Availability Block for a onecalendar year period,2022, but was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing for the same one year period without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. Following this one-year period,Commencing January 1, 2023, a $15 million Excess Availability requirement will be imposed unless a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1:1 is achieved. As of September 25, 2022, the Company does not currently meet the Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio. As a result, our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for the remainder of calendar 2022 is $70 million after accounting for the Availability Block and assumingwill be reduced to $65 million on January 1, 2023 upon expiration of the Company is otherwiseAvailability Block and anticipated re-imposition of the Excess Availability requirement, in each case subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the terms of the 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, and has sufficient Borrowing Base assets, the amount available for borrowing under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, without having to meet any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, is increased from approximately $62.5 million to $70 million for calendar year 2022.

Note 5. Debt

On December 30, 2021, Reno Holding, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company’s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada (the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra”). The indebtedness is evidenced by the Note that provides for monthly payments of $47,858, bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. The Note and related obligations are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) on the Reno Facility. The net proceeds from this borrowing transaction (the “Symetra Loan”) have since been applied to repayment of a portion of the revolving balance under the Company’s 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. An additional $250,000 is to be advanced under the Symetra Loan after roof and possible related repairs to the Reno Facility are satisfactorily completed. The Symetra Loan is limited recourse to the Reno Facility, with typical exceptions in which case it is recourse to Reno Holding, a special purpose entity formed by the Company to own the Reno Facility and related assets.

The principal maturities of debt outstanding at June 26,September 25, 2022, were as follows:

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS was equal to basic EPS for the three-month period ended June 26, 2022 because the Company operated at a loss. The number of diluted weighted-average common shares would have been 9,167,381was 9,179,239 for the three months ended June 26,September 25, 2022, ifand 9,173,418 for the Company was in a positive earning position.six months ended September 25, 2022. At June 26,September 25, 2022, stock options with respect to 709,500 shares of common stock were outstanding, of which 594,500614,500 were anti-dilutive and not included in diluted EPS because the stock options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. There were 0no anti-dilutive performance stock units (“PSUs”) or restricted stock units (RSUs”) outstanding as of June 26,September 25, 2022.

Note 7. Business Segments

The Company has 2two reportable segments, Carrier and Commercial, which are identified based on the information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and are consistent with how the business is managed. Carrier is generally comprised of customers responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers and Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel and private system operator markets. Ventev®, the Company’s proprietary brand that manufactures products, is primarily included primarily in the Commercial segment. There is a mix of products that the Company sells that are marketed to both segments, as well as certain product classes that primarily serve one segment. As a value-add distributor of products from over 300 manufacturers, the Company sells products across a large number of product groups and industries and, as a result, it is impracticable to provide segment information at the product group level. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

Segment activity for the second quarter and first quartersix months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 26, 2022.

Business Overview and Environment

TESSCO architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless systems. Although we sell products to customers in many countries, approximately 98% of our sales are made to customers in the United States. We have operations and office facilities in Hunt Valley, Maryland, and Reno, Nevada.

On December 2, 2020, we sold most of our Retail inventory and certain other retail-related assets to Voice Comm and exited the retail business. As a result of the disposal, the operating results of our former Retail segment have been included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented.

We now operate as two reportable segments: Carrier and Commercial, for which we provide certain information. Carrier is generally comprised of customers responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provideproviding airtime service to individual subscribers and Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel, and private system operator markets.

We offer a wide range of products that are classified into three categories: base station infrastructure; network systems; and installation, test, and maintenance. Base station infrastructure products are used to build, repair, and upgrade wireless telecommunication networks. Sales of traditional base station infrastructure products, such as base station radios, cable and transmission lines, and antennas are in part dependent on capital spending in the wireless communications industry. Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and internet networks. In this category, we have also been growing our offering of wireless broadband, network equipment, security and surveillance products, which are not as dependent on the overall capital spending of the industry. Installation, test, and maintenance products are used to install, tune, and maintain wireless communications equipment. This category is made up of sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency-, voltage- and power-measuring devices, replacement parts and components as well as an assortment of tools, hardware and supplies required by service technicians. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

The wireless communications distribution industry is competitive and fragmented, and is comprised of several national distributors. In addition, many manufacturers sell direct to end-user customers. Barriers to entry for distributors are relatively low, and the risk of new competitors entering the market is high. Consolidation of larger wireless carriers has and will most likely continue to impact our current and potential customer base. In addition, the agreements or arrangements with our customers or suppliers looking to us for product and supply chain solutions are typically of limited duration and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise short notice. Our ability to maintain these relationships is subject to competitive pressures and challenges and depends upon a number of factors that often differ for each relationship. We believe, however, that our strength in service, the breadth and depth of our product offerings, our information technology system, our large customer base, and our purchasing relationships with approximately 300 manufacturers provide us with a significant competitive advantage over new entrants to the market.

Gross profit margin in our Commercial segment increased to 24.7%25.2% in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2023 from 24.4%23.1% in the same quarter last year. The gross margin improvement in the Carrier segment is primarily related to changes in customer and product mix. The gross margin increase in the Commercial segment is primarily attributable to product and customer mix, including higher sales of our higher margin Ventev® products. Gross margins in both segments were positively impacted by higher freight charged to customers in response to and to partially offset increased freight costs incurred, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

These increases were offset by a $1.2 million decrease in compensation and benefits expense.freight out. The corporate support expenses increase is attributable to higher professional services expense and higher recruiting expense for new talent acquisition, and higher professional services expenses. The increase in information technology expense is a result of higher software maintenance costs related to new software services and higher information technology temporary labor services.acquisition. The increase in freight out is attributable to higher revenues and increased freight carrier costs as a result of inflationary impacts. The increase in sales promotion is attributable to increased employee travel as a result of COVID-19 restrictions being lifted. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense is primarily attributable to lower employee headcount in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year same quarter.

Interest, Net. Net interest expense increased from $213,700$158,700 for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2022 to $259,400$383,400 for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2$6.2 million for the first threesix months of fiscal 2023, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $5.8$10.3 million for the first threesix months of fiscal 2022. The reduction in netNet cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.5$9.3 million and an increase in inventory of $3.8 million, and increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.5$14.6 million, offset by a decrease in income taxes receivable of $3.8$3.7 million and an increase in accounts payable of $4.7$13.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $2.5 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $7.1 million, an increase in inventory of $3.2 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.0 million, offset by a decrease in income taxes receivable of $4.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0$8.5 million for the first threesix months of fiscal 2023, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2.2$3.8 million in the first threesix months of fiscal 2022.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.5$16.2 million for the first threesix months of fiscal 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $9.1$15.0 million for the first threesix months of fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 cash inflow is primarily attributable to the Company’s utilization of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility

Table of Contents

On October 29, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank, and terminated our previous secured Revolving Credit Facility. Terms used, but not defined, in this paragraph have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement, and the description refers to the Credit Agreement as in effect at fiscal quarter ended June 26,September 25, 2022 and without regard to subsequent events. The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a senior secured assetasset- based

Table of Contents

revolving credit facility of up to $80 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on April 29, 2024. As of June 26,September 25, 2022, borrowings under the secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $41.7$53.5 million; therefore, we then had $38.3$26.5 million available, subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, including the financial and other covenants discussed or referred to in Note 4 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q (“Note 4”). We do not now, nor do we expect in the near future to, meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and, therefore our current availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to $70 million and will be reduced to $65 million on January 1, 2023, in each case subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the rates as discussed in Note 4 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.4.

We believe that our existing cash, payments from customers and current and anticipated future availability under the secured Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next twelve months. We are, however, focused on the pending reimposition of the Excess Availability requirement under our Revolving Credit Facility, and the corresponding decrease in availability to $65 million, which, as discussed above is expected to occur on January 1, 2023. The $11.8 million increase in outstanding borrowings in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 is largely due to a $6.4 million cash outflow from investing activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 that is primarily related to the Company’s ongoing information technology project implementation, and a $4.4 million increase in accounts receivable balance from the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to the second quarter. Although we are working to reduce these values, we nevertheless expect these levels to remain elevated for the remainder of the current fiscal year. That, together with re-imposition of the Excess Availability requirement after January 1, 2023 and elevated inventory levels that will persist into the second half of the year, is expected to limit additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility in the second half of fiscal 2023. We have engaged in initial discussions with our lender in an effort to maintain or increase our current borrowing availability, although no assurances can be given that we will be successful in these efforts or that an inability to borrow yet additional amounts, if needed, will not adversely affect our business or financial results.

To minimize interest expense, our policy is to apply excess available cash to reduce the balance outstanding from time to time on our secured Revolving Credit Facility.  Our increased focus over the past several years on business opportunities for sales to our Carrier customers led to the recent expansion of our borrowing limits, as now reflected in the secured Revolving Credit Facility, and has at times resulted in increased borrowings and dependence on that facility. If we were to undertake an acquisition or other major capital purchases that require funds in excess of existing sources of liquidity, we would look to sources of funding from additional credit facilities, debt and/or equity issuances. As of June 26,September 25, 2022, we do not have any material capital expenditure commitments.

On December 30, 2021, TESSCO Reno Holding LLC (“Reno Holding”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company‘s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada (the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company. The

indebtedness is evidenced by a Real Estate Note (“Note”) of Reno Holding that provides for monthly payments of $47,858, bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. See Note 5 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion related to the Note.

In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted by decreasing revenues and profits resulting from a decrease in demand for our products or a reduction in capital expenditures by our customers, or by the weakened financial conditions of our customers or suppliers, in each case as a result of a downturn in the global economy, among other factors.
