Most of our past sales were made under term contracts, which specify delivery quantities, sales prices, and payment dates. As a result, we performed cash management functions over the course of an entire year based on the timing of the term contracts and were less reliant on current commodity prices and market conditions. Our remaining term contracts were completed in 2020 Q2 and any future sales will be dependent on spot market commodity prices until we are able to enter new term contracts.

As of December 31, 2020, the current Company’s financial liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.3 million, and the current portion of notes payable of $0.5 million.

The payment schedule for the $12.4 million State Bond Loan was modified on October 1, 2019 to defer principal payments for six quarters. On October 6, 2020, the State Bond Loan was again modified to defer principal payments for an additional six quarters. Quarterly principal payments are scheduled to resume on October 1, 2022 (see notes 10 and 20).

On April 16, 2020, we received $0.9 million under the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”), which was created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). We anticipate the loans will meet the requirements for forgiveness under this program (see note 10).

On August 4, 2020, the Company closed a $4.68 million registered direct offering of 9,000,000 common shares and accompanying one-half common share warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.52 per common share and accompanying one-half common share warrant. After fees and expenses of $0.4 million, net proceeds to the Company were $4.3 million (see note 13).

Subsequent to December 31, 2020, on February 4, 2021, the Company closed a $15.2 million underwritten public offering of 16,930,530 common shares and accompanying one-half common share warrants to purchase up to 8,465,265 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.90 per common share and accompanying one-half common share warrant. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $15.2 million, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company (see note 22).

In addition to our cash position, our finished, ready-to-sell, conversion facility inventory value is immediately realizable, if necessary. We do not anticipate selling our existing finished-product inventory in 2021, unless market conditions change sufficiently to warrant its sale.
