AMR entered into a $10,000,000 loan with Green Bank on November 3, 2015. The term of the loan is twenty-one years. For the first twelve months only interest was payable; thereafter monthly payments of interest and principal are due. The interest rate adjusts on the first day of each calendar quarter equal to the greater of six percent (6%) or two percent (2%) per annum above the minimum prime lending rate charged by large U.S. money center commercial banks as published in the Wall Street Journal. The terms of the Loan Agreement contain various affirmative and negative covenants. Among them, AMR must maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0 (beginning with the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2017), a maximum debt-to-net worth ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 and a minimum current ratio of 1.5 to 1.0. AMR was in compliance with all covenants as of and for the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015. AMR was in compliance with all but the minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant as of and for each of the calendar quarters in the period March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2018. AMR has received a waiver for the minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant for each period of non-compliance.
 
Collateral for this loan is AMR’s accounts receivable, goods, equipment, fixtures, inventory, accessions and a certificate of deposit in the amount of $1.0 million.
 
The loan is guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (“USDA”), in the amount of 90% of the principal amount of the loan. The Company paid a guarantee fee to the USDA in the amount of $270,000 at the time of closing and will be required to pay to the USDA an annual fee in the amount of 0.50% of the guaranteed portion of the outstanding principal balance of the loan as of December 31 of each year.

The costs associated with obtaining the Green Bank loan of $0.8 million were recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the note and are being amortized as interest expense over the twenty-one year life of the loan. Amortization of the deferred financing costs was $35,000, $35,000 and $35,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
