NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

During 2012, the Company had a revolving line of credit with a bank in the amount of RMB 25,000,000 (approximately $3.97 million), with the note payable collateralized by certain land use rights and buildings. The note bore interest at a base rate equal to the PRC’s floating six-month to one year rate of 6.56% plus an additional 15% of the base rate, with a resulting rate of 7.54%. On October 18, 2012, the Company fully paid the amount due of RMB 25,000,000 (approximately $3.97 million) under this line of credit and on October 26, 2012, it matured and was not renewed.

 

On October 30, 2012, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit with another bank in the amount of RMB 30,000,000. The related note payable bore interest at an annual rate of 6.90% (based upon 115% of the PRC government’s current short term rate of 6.00%). Advances on the line of credit were due one year from the date of the advance and were collateralized by certain land use rights, buildings and accounts receivable. On November 1, 2013 the Company entered into a new revolving line of credit for the same amount with the same bank.  Advances on the line of credit are due one year from the date of the advance and are collateralized by certain land use rights, buildings and accounts receivable and bear interest at an annual rate of 6.6% (based upon 110% of the PRC government’s current short term rate of 6.00%).  In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the board of directors personally guaranteed the new line of credit.

 

The outstanding balance due under the revolving line of credit was RMB 30,000,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 ($4,909,662 as of December 31, 2013 and $4,761,073 as of December 31, 2012).  The Company has no additional amounts available to it under this line of credit.  This amount has been classified as short-term notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Fair Value of Notes Payable – Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, the carrying amounts of notes payable outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 approximated their fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or because the underlying instruments bear interest rates that approximated current market rates.
