6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is currently operating in a facility leased and operated by Tampa Fiberglass Inc. (TFI). TFI is owned by Ken McCleave, Chairman of AFGP. No occupancy cost has been charged to AFGP by TFI during 2013 or 2012. There is no assurance that this favorable treatment will continue in the future if AFGP begins to facilitate operations at that site.

 

The Company entered into an employment agreement with a key employee. The employment agreement is for a period of three years, with prescribed percentage increases beginning in 2007. Increases for 2007 and 2008 were waived. A 5% increase was effective 1/1/09 for a total annual rate under the employment agreement of $63,000. The employment contract has been continued without change, on agreement with parties involved, and is expected to be renewed in 2013. The Company expects to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the contract.  Compensation is currently accrued (see footnote “Deferred Wages”), as specified within the terms of the employment contract. The contract specifies minimum bonus of $15,000 (other than minimum is at discretion of the Board of Directors) and annual options (100,000 options, effective June 1st, at a strike price of average closing price of prior month).  Both the bonus and options were waved in prior years, due to lack of revenue producing activity.

 

The Company anticipates that it will enter into employment contracts with two other key employees in 2013 under similar terms and conditions. Specifics will be determined by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

 

In prior years, accounts payable includes related party payables, which have been reclassified to notes payable for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The above related party transactions are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable agreements been made with independent parties.
