On March 18, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer transferred all financial interest in GKR. Accordingly, all transactions of the Company with GKR subsequent to March 18, 2011, are not classified with those of related parties, and the note payable due them was converted to a convertible debenture as of September 8, 2011. Accordingly the balance due under that obligation is classified with the convertible debenture balance as of December 31, 2012, and 2011. See Note 11. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES for further discussion.

 

On February 18, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Trebor Industries, Inc., entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BBT”) for the promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 in favor of BBT (the “Term Loan”) and the promissory note in the principal amount of $199,991 in favor of BBT (the “Second Note”). The Term Loan and Second Note are collectively referred to as the “Secured Notes”.  The Secured Notes are secured by the Company's Fort Lauderdale facilities and personally guaranteed by the Company’s chief executive officer. As previously disclosed, the Company failed to bring the Secured Notes current and in January 2011 BBT accelerated the full principal and accrued interest due under the Secured Notes, as well as initiated collection and legal action.  The Forbearance Agreement effectively extended the maturity date of the Secured Notes to May 22, 2012.  The Secured Notes were consolidated under a Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,053,993, effective November 22, 2010, (the “Consolidated Note”).  The maturity date of the Consolidated Note was May 22, 2012.  The interest rate on the Consolidated Note was 7.5% per annum. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement the Company paid $33,000 to BBT at closing.  In addition to the monthly interest only payments required under the Consolidated Note, Trebor was required to pay BBT $6,028 by February 28, 2011, and monthly payments of approximately $3,555 on March 10, 2011, April 10, 2011, and May 10, 2011, to satisfy disbursements, costs and expenses associated with the Forbearance Agreement.

 

On or about April 27, 2012, the Company received a default notice from BBT under its Forbearance Agreement on the mortgage underlying the Company’s real estate. BBT subsequently received judgment of foreclosure, as the 17th Judicial Circuit of the Circuit Court of Broward County awarded BBT a final judgment in the amount of $1,123,269.

 

On August 16, 2012 the Company’s real estate foreclosed upon was sold through a court ordered auction. At the foreclosure sale, the lender was highest bidder with a bid of $1,300. On July 17, 2012, the Court entered a Final Judgment of Foreclosure against the Company for $1,123,269, plus post-judgment interest. On December 14, 2012, the lender served the Company with Notice of Final Judgment of Foreclosure. Per the Notice, the lender seeks Final Judgment including post-judgment interest and costs through date of sale of $1,127,643 plus post-judgment interest and related expenses. The lender asserts the fair market value of the property on the date of sale was $1,030,000 and is seeking final judgment against the Company for the shortfall amount between the Final Judgment amount and the fair market value of the property, or approximately $100,000 plus post-judgment interest and related expenses. Accordingly, the Company recorded a foreclosure liability of $110,000 to cover the shortfall plus post-judgment expensed At the time of the sale, carrying value of the building, building improvements, and land was $1,641,075, mortgage balance was $1,053,997, accrued interest was $15,609, and accrued real estate taxes was $45,006. After reversing all amounts associated with the foreclosed property and recording $110,000 adjustment for difference between the sale and final judgment amount the Company recorded a $116,539 loss on foreclosure. The adjustment and loss include $10,000 estimate of post-judgment expenses based on managements’ best judgment, and will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as applicable, and/or settled.

 

On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into a one year lease on the real estate foreclosed upon, which the Company continues to occupy as it manufacturing facility and headquarters. The terms of the lease are base rent of $3,750 plus sales tax, and either party can cancel the lease with 90 days written notice.

 

In February 2011, the Company converted a vendor payable into an unsecured promissory note as reflected above and below in note payable balances as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Principal and interest payments of $2,000 per month were to begin on February 28, 2011, and continue through August 31, 2012, maturity. Since the Company was in arrears on payments, on June 1, 2012, the Company restructured the Note with the vendor. Effective June 5, 2012, the Company began making payments under the restructured term as reflected in the terms above stated with the balance at December 31, 2012.
