Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

TSS, Inc. (‘‘TSS’’, the ‘‘Company’’, ‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’) provides a comprehensive suite of services for the planning, design, deployment, maintenance, refresh and take-back of end-user and enterprise systems, including the mission-critical facilities they are housed in. We provide a single source solution for enabling technologies in data centers, operations centers, network facilities, server rooms, security operations centers, communications facilities and the infrastructure systems that are critical to their function. Our services consist of technology consulting, design and engineering, project management, systems integration, systems installation, facilities management and IT reseller and procurement services. Our corporate offices and our integration facility are located in Round Rock, Texas.

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Company management has evaluated its liquidity and capital requirements in consideration of recent operating losses, negative cash flows from operations and accumulated deficits which have been due, in part, to the effects of COVID-19. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are to fund working capital for current operations. Our primary sources of funds to meet our liquidity and capital requirements include cash on hand, funds generated from operations including the funds from our customer financing programs, trade credit extended to us by our vendors, and borrowings under our bank credit facility, which we believe will be sufficient to meet our obligations as they come due. If future results do not meet expectations, management can implement reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses to better achieve profitability and therefore improve cash flows, or that we could take further steps such as the issuance of new equity or debt. However, the timing and effect of these steps may not completely alleviate a material effect on liquidity. Management may also require additional capital if we seek to acquire additional businesses as a way to increase the scale of our operations, or if there is a sudden increase in the level of reseller services. There can be no assurance as to the Company’s ability to scale its business operations or the terms upon which additional financing might be available.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenues when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

Some of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices.

 

Maintenance Services

 

We generate maintenance services revenues from fees that provide our customers with as-needed maintenance and repair services on modular data centers during the contract term. Our contract terms are typically one year in duration, are billed annually in advance, and are non-cancellable. As a result, we record deferred revenue (a contract liability) and recognize revenue from these services on a ratable basis over the contract term. We can mitigate our exposure to credit losses by discontinuing services in the event of non-payment, however our history of non-payments and bad debt expense has been insignificant.

 

Integration Services

 

We generate integration services revenues from fees that provide our customers with customized system and rack-level integration services. We recognize revenue upon shipment to the customer of the completed systems as this is when we have completed our services and when the customer obtains control of the promised goods. We typically extend credit terms to our integration customers based on their credit worthiness and generally do not receive advance payments. As such, we record accounts receivable at the time of shipment, when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivable from our integration customers are typically due within 30-60 days of invoicing. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on a periodic analysis of individual account balances, including an evaluation of days outstanding, payment history, recent payment trends, and our assessment of our customers’ credit worthiness. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $7,000.

 

 

Equipment Sales

 

We generate revenues under fixed price contracts from the sale of data center and related ancillary equipment to customers in the United States. We recognize revenue when the product is shipped to the customer as that is when the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Typically, we do not receive advance payments for equipment sales; however, if we do, we record the advance payment as deferred revenues. Normally we record accounts receivable at the time of shipment, when our right to the consideration has become unconditional. Accounts receivable from our equipment sales are typically due within 30-45 days of invoicing.

 

Deployment and Other Services

 

We generate revenues from fees we charge our customers for other services, including repairs or other services not covered under maintenance contracts, installation and servicing of equipment, including modular data centers that we sold, and other fixed-price services, including repair, design and project management services. In some cases, we arrange for a third party to perform warranty and servicing of equipment, and in these instances, we recognize revenue as the amount of any fees or commissions that we expect to be entitled to receive. Other services are typically invoiced upon completion of services or completion of milestones. We record accounts receivable at the time of completion when our right to consideration becomes unconditional.

 

Procurement Services

 

We generate revenues from fees we charge our customers to procure third-party hardware, software and professional services on their behalf that are then used in our integration services as we integrate these components to deliver a completed system to our customer. We recognize our reseller services revenue upon completion of the procurement activity. In some cases, we arrange for the purchase of third-party hardware, software or professional services that are to be provided to our customers by another party and we have no control of the goods before they are transferred to the customer. In these instances, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and recognize revenue as the amount of any fee or commissions that we expect to be entitled to after paying the other party for the goods or services provided to the customer. Accounts receivable from our reseller activities are typically due within 30-60 days of invoicing.

 

Judgments

 

We consider several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon shipment of equipment or upon completion of our services. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, we have a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership at the time of shipment or completion of the services.

 

Sales Taxes

 

Sales (and similar) taxes that are imposed on our sales and collected from customers are excluded from revenues.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Costs for shipping and handling activities, including those activities that occur subsequent to transfer of control to the customer, are recorded as cost of revenues and are expensed as incurred. We accrue costs for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the promised good or service has transferred to the customer.

 

 

The following table shows our revenues disaggregated by reportable segment and by product or service type (in ’000’s, unaudited):

 

 

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue and amounts we expect to receive for goods and services that have not yet been delivered or provided under existing, non-cancellable contracts. For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, we have elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and we do not disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and when we expect to recognize this revenue. As of March 31, 2021, deferred revenue of $4,681,000 includes $1,701,000 of our remaining performance obligations for our maintenance contracts, all of which are expected to be recognized within one year, and $2,906,000 relating to procurement and integration services where we have yet to complete our services for our customers, all of which are expected to be recognized within one year. The remaining $74,000 of deferred revenue is our remaining performance obligations for maintenance services, which is expected to be recognized between one and three years.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

We are currently economically dependent upon our relationship with a large US-based IT OEM. If this relationship is unsuccessful or discontinues, our business and revenue will suffer. The loss of or a significant reduction in orders from this customer or the failure to provide adequate products or services to it would significantly reduce our revenue.

 

The following customer accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues for the periods shown (unaudited):

 

 

 

No other customers represented more than 10% of our revenues for any periods presented. Our US-based IT OEM customer represented 47% and 70% of our trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, a US-based technology customer represented 21% of our accounts receivable at March 31, 2021. No other customer represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable at March 31, 2021 or at December 31, 2020.

 

Non-recourse factoring

 

We have entered into a factoring agreement with a financial institution to sell certain of our accounts receivables from a US-based IT OEM customer under a non-recourse agreement. Under the arrangement, we sell certain trade receivables on a non-recourse basis and account for the transaction as a sale of the receivables. The financial institution assumes the full risk of collection, without recourse to the Company in the event of a loss. Debtors are directed to send payments directly to the financial institution. The applicable receivables are removed from our consolidated balance sheet when the cash proceeds are received by us. We do not service any factored accounts after the factoring has occurred. We utilize this factoring arrangement as part of our financing for working capital. The aggregate gross amount factored under this arrangement was approximately $7.3 million and $13.2 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We paid financing fees under this arrangement of approximately $36,000 and $150,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was recorded as interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations.

 

 

Recent Accounting Guidance

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In October 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-10, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2020-10”). The amendments in ASU 2020-10 do not change the GAAP requirements but it improves consistency by amending the Codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and also clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. ASU 2020-10 was effective for us for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-10 did not have any material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The standard’s main goal is to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets. Among the provisions of ASU 2016-13 is a requirement that assets measured at amortized cost, which includes trade accounts receivable, be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This pronouncement requires that an entity reflect all of its expected credit losses based on current estimates which will replace the current standard requiring that an entity need only consider past events and current conditions in measuring an incurred loss. We are subject to this guidance effective with the consolidated financial statements we issue for the year ending December 31, 2023, and the quarterly periods during that year. We are currently evaluating the adoption date and the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2019, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The guidance also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The standard was effective for us on January 1, 2021. We adopted the standard using a modified retrospective application, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

 

In May 2019, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-15, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), (AASU 2019-15”). ASU 2019-15 provides guidance that allows entities to make an irrevocable one-time election upon adoption of the new credit loss standard to measure financial assets at amortized cost (except held-to-maturity securities) using the fair value option. The effective date and transition methodology are the same as in ASU 2016-13.

 

Note 2 – Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

 

Receivables

 

Contract and other receivables consisted of the following (in ‘000’s):

 

 

 

Inventories

 

We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in-first-out-method (in ‘000’s) as follows:

 

 

 

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

 

Goodwill and intangible assets, net consisted of the following (in ‘000’s):    

 

 

 

Goodwill attributable to reporting units (in ‘000’s):

 

 

At March 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, the date of our last annual test, both the facilities unit and the systems integration unit had negative carrying amounts on our records.

 

We recognized amortization expense related to intangibles of approximately $23,000 for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

We have elected to use December 31 as our annual date to test goodwill and intangibles for impairment. As circumstances change that could affect the recoverability of the carrying amount of the assets during an interim period, we will evaluate goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets for impairment. We performed a quantitative analysis of our goodwill and intangibles at December 31, 2020 as part of our annual testing for impairment and concluded that there was no impairment. We considered relevant matters, including macroeconomic conditions and the effects of COVID-19 on our operations, and there was no identified material triggering events or circumstances that occurred during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 or 2020 that indicated the carrying value of of our goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets was impaired.

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following (in ’000’s):

 

 

Depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements and software totaled $114,000 and $96,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following (in ’000’s):

 

 

 

Note 3 – Long-Term Borrowings

 

Long-term borrowings consisted of the following (in ’000’s): 

 

 

 

In February 2015, we entered into a multiple advance term loan agreement and related agreements with MHW SPV II, LLC (‘‘MHW’’), an entity affiliated with the Chairman of our Board of Directors, for a loan in the maximum amount of $2 million. We borrowed $945,000 under this loan agreement on February 3, 2015 and executed a promissory note to evidence this loan and the terms of repayment which requires interest-only payments until maturity.

 

In July 2017, we amended and restated the terms of this multiple advance term loan agreement whereby we increased the maximum principal amount of loans to $2.5 million for up to sixty days, and $2 million thereafter. The term of the loan was modified to be five years from the date of modification, thereby extending the term of the $945,000 loan to July 19, 2022. As part of this modification, the interest rate on the $945,000 loan remains at a fixed annual rate of 12%, however it was changed so that 6% is paid in cash monthly in arrears, and 6% is payable in kind, to be evidenced by additional promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest. At March 31, 2021 there was approximately $238,000 in accrued interest outstanding on this loan. We can prepay the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty.

 

 

In conjunction with entering into the loan agreement, the Company and MHW also entered into a warrant granting MHW the right to purchase up to 1,115,827 shares of the Company’s common stock. As part of the July 2017 modification, we also modified the warrant to change the exercise price of the shares and to extend the term of the warrant to July 19, 2022. The warrant is now exercisable for a period of five years from July 19, 2017 at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 390,539 shares, $0.20 for the next 390,539 shares and $0.30 for the final 334,749 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. The fair value of the modified warrant was determined to be approximately $167,000 and the incremental value of the warrant compared to the original warrant was approximately $6,000. This amount was added to the remaining unamortized value of the original warrant such that approximately $93,000 will be amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest rate method) over the term of the loan. Approximately $5,000 was amortized for this warrant during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

On July 19, 2017, we borrowed an additional $650,000 from MHW Partners, an entity affiliated with MHW. This loan ranks parri-passu with the $945,000 promissory notes held by MHW and is subject to the same loan agreement. Similar to the notes held by MHW, this note issued to MHW Partners bears interest at 12% per annum payable in cash monthly in arrears at a rate of 6% per annum and payable in kind at a fixed rate of 6% per annum and has a maturity date of July 19, 2022. At March 31, 2021 there was approximately $161,000 in accrued interest outstanding on this loan. We can prepay the note issued to MHW Partners and the accrued interest at any time without penalty.

 

The obligations under the loan to MHW and MHW Partners are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement. At the time we entered into the revolving line of credit described below, MHW and MHW Partners executed a subordination agreement to evidence their agreement that their security interest is subordinated to the security interest of Texas Capital Bank, N.A.

 

In conjunction with entering into the loan with MHW Partners, we entered into a warrant granting MHW Partners the right to purchase up to 767,500 shares of our common stock. The warrant is exercisable for a period of 5 years from July 19, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 268,625 shares, $0.20 for the next 268,625 shares and $0.30 for the final 230,250 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of this warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transactions. The fair value of the warrant granted was approximately $115,000. Using the relative-fair value allocation method, the debt proceeds were allocated between the debt value and the fair value of the warrants, resulting in a recognition of a discount on the loan of approximately $98,000 and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. Approximately $5,000 was amortized during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Peter H. Woodward, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is a principal of MHW Capital Management LLC, which is the investment manager of MHW and MHW Partners. MHW Capital Management LLC is entitled to a performance related fee tied to any appreciation in the valuation of the common stock in excess of the applicable strike price under the warrant.

 

 

On October 6, 2017, we entered into an amendment to our multiple advance term loan agreement and the related security agreement with MHW and MHW Partners, to add new lenders to the loan and security agreements. Upon execution, Mr. Glen Ikeda and Mr. Andrew Berg became new lenders to the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Amendment, Mr. Ikeda then provided a loan in the amount of $300,000 and Mr. Berg provided a loan in the amount of $100,000 (collectively the “New Loans”).

 

The New Loans have a maturity date of July 19, 2022. The New Loans do not bear interest and we are permitted to make optional prepayments at any time without premium or penalty, provided that if we prepay the outstanding principal amount of a New Loan prior to the second anniversary of the date of the applicable note, then the total amount of such prepayment will not exceed 95% of the total principal amount of the applicable note and any remaining principal amount under the note shall be fully and finally cancelled, extinguished, forgiven and terminated without further action of any party.

 

The New Loans include customary affirmative covenants for secured transactions of this type, including compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of assets, timely payments of taxes and notice of adverse events. The loan agreement and ancillary documents include customary negative covenants including limitations on liens on assets of the Company.

 

Concurrent with the New Loans, we entered into a warrant with Mr. Ikeda granting Mr. Ikeda the right to purchase up to 954,231 shares of our common stock. This warrant was exercisable until July 19, 2022, at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 498,981 shares, $0.20 for the next 273,981 shares and $0.30 for the final 181,269 shares. Mr. Ikeda exercised the warrant in December 2018.

 

 

Concurrent with the New Loans, we entered into a warrant with Mr. Berg granting Mr. Berg the right to purchase up to 318,077 shares of our common stock. This warrant was exercisable until July 19, 2022, at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 166,327 shares, $0.20 for the next 91,327 shares and $0.30 for the final 60,423 shares. Mr. Berg exercised the warrant in December 2018.

 

The fair value of the two warrants granted in connection with the New Loans was approximately $367,000. Using the relative fair-value allocation method, the debt proceeds were allocated between the debt value and the fair value of the warrants, resulting in a recognition of a discount on the New Loans of approximately $191,000, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest rate method). Approximately $10,000 was amortized during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

 

The entire outstanding principal balance, and any accrued interest, is due upon maturity in July 2022.

 

Note 4 – Revolving Line of Credit

 

In February 2021, we entered into a new revolving line of credit (the “credit facility”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“Lender”) pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement (Asset Based) (the “Loan Agreement”), dated effective December 31, 2020. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vortech L.L.C., and VTC, L.L.C. jointly and severally guarantee our obligations under the credit facility.

 

The maximum amount of the credit facility is $1,500,000. The credit facility is subject to a borrowing base of the lesser of $1,500,000 and 80% of eligible accounts receivables, subject to customary exclusions and limitations. Certain accounts receivables subject to a vendor payment program with a customer are excluded from the definition of eligible accounts receivables under the credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3% (effective rate of 3.18% at March 31, 2021). In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the credit facility, we will pay a 0.25% unused credit facility fee, payable quarterly in arrears. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2021.

 

The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum liquidity of $1,500,000 at all times. It also requires us to comply with certain financial covenants including a maximum Senior Leverage Ratio of 3.00 and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.50. The credit facility also limits the amount of new indebtedness to $250,000 per fiscal year without Lender’s prior written approval.

 

The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary affirmative covenants for secured transactions of this type, including maintaining adequate books and records, periodic financial reporting, compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of assets, timely payment of taxes, and notices of adverse events. The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary negative covenants, including incurrence of other indebtedness, mergers, consolidations and transfers of assets and liens on our assets. The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents also include customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure to perform or observe terms, covenants or agreements included in the Loan Agreement and ancillary documents, insolvency and bankruptcy defaults, judgment defaults, material adverse chance defaults, and change of ownership defaults.

 

The maximum amount we would have been eligible to borrow at March 31, 2021 was approximately $233,000. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility at March 31, 2021.

 

Note 5 - Leasing Arrangements

 

We have operating leases for our office and integration facilities as well as for certain equipment and vehicles. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 3 years. As of March 31, 2021, we have not entered into any lease arrangement classified as a finance lease.

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use assets, current lease liabilities and lease liabilities, non-current, on our consolidated balance sheet. We have elected an accounting policy to not recognize short-term leases (one year or less) on the balance sheet. We also elected the package of practical expedients which applies to leases that commenced before the adoption date. By electing the package of practical expedients, we did not need to reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any existing leases and initial direct costs for any existing leases.

 

 

Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. When the implicit rate of the lease is not provided or cannot be determined, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Components of lease expense and other information is as follows:

 

 

 

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of March 31, 2021 were as follows (in ‘000’s):

 

 

 

 

Note 6 - Net Loss Per-Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock, for the purposes of determining diluted income (loss) per share, includes the effects of dilutive unvested restricted stock, options to purchase common stock and convertible securities. The effect of such potential common stock is computed using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share computations for net income (loss). In the table below, net income (loss) represents the numerator and shares represents the denominator (in thousands except per share amounts; unaudited).  

 

 

 

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive shares of 5,165,000 and 4,740,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of dilutive shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  

 

Note 7 – Related Party Transactions

 

We have $945,000 principal outstanding at March 31, 2021 in promissory notes payable to MHW, net of remaining discount of $27,000. Per the terms of the notes, we paid interest of approximately $35,000 and $33,000 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There is approximately $238,000 of accrued interest outstanding on these notes at March 31, 2021 that is included in the outstanding long-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheet. We have $650,000 principal outstanding at March 31, 2021 in promissory notes payable to MHW Partners, net of remaining discount of $28,000. Per the terms of the notes, we paid interest of $24,000 and $23,000 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There is approximately $161,000 of accrued interest outstanding on these notes at March 31, 2021 that is included in the outstanding long-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheet. Peter H. Woodward, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is a principal of MHW Capital Management, LLC, which is the investment manager of MHW and MHW Partners. MHW Capital Management LLC is entitled to a performance-related fee tied to appreciation in the valuation of the common stock in excess of the applicable strike price under the warrant issued to MHW.
