Short Term Loans

 

As of April 2016, all of the Company’s short-term loans were repaid in full. 

 

Line of Credit

 

On February 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation (“Webster”) pursuant to which it may borrow up to $14 million until February 27, 2018 (the “Webster Credit Line”) against assignments of mortgages and other collateral. The Webster Credit Line provides for an interest rate of either LIBOR plus 4.75% or the base commercial lending rate of Webster plus 3.25% as chosen by the Company for each drawdown. The Webster Credit Line contains various covenants and restrictions including, among other covenants and restrictions, limiting the amount that the Company can borrow relative to the value of the underlying collateral, maintaining various financial ratios and limitations on the terms of loans the Company makes to its customers, limiting the Company’s ability to pay dividends under certain circumstances, and limiting the Company’s ability to repurchase its common shares, sell assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, grant liens, and enter into transactions with affiliates. Mr. Ran has personally guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations to Webster. Total costs to establish the Webster Credit Line were approximately $144,000. These costs are being amortized over three years, using the straight-line method. The amortization costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $36,124 and $27,501, respectively.

 

The Webster Credit Line replaced the $7.7 million credit facility (the “Sterling Credit Line”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”). The Company paid off the entire balance due to Sterling with proceeds from the Webster Credit Line and terminated the Sterling Credit Line on February 27, 2015. In addition, the Company utilized the Webster Credit Line to repay in full loans from Mr. Ran in the aggregate amount of $1,100,000, as well as two short-term loans, outstanding at December 31, 2014, in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000, which bore interest at the rate of 12% per annum. At September 30, 2016, the outstanding amount under the Webster Credit Line was $4,263,055. The interest rate on the amount outstanding fluctuates daily. The rate for September 30, 2016 was 5.27438%.
