NOTE 11 – CREDIT FACILITIES

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 29, 2017, Treasure Success entered into an $8,000,000 import credit facility with HSBC (the “2017 Facility Letter”), which was amended pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 19, 2018 (the "2018 Facility Letter", and together with the 2017 Facility Letter, the "Facility Letter"). In addition, pursuant to an offer letter dated June 5, 2017, which was amended pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 14, 2018, HSBC offered to provide Treasure Success with a $12,000,000 factoring facility for certain debt purchase services related to our accounts receivables (the “Factoring Agreement” and together with the Facility Letter, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Jerash Holdings, Jerash Garments and Treasure Success, as well as two of the Company’s individual shareholders. In addition, the Credit Facilities required cash and other investment security collateral of $3,000,000.  As of January 22, 2019, the security collateral of $3,000,000 was released. HSBC has agreed to release the personal guarantees of the individual shareholders, which the Company expects to occur during calendar year 2019. The Credit Facilities provide that drawings under the Credit Facilities are charged interest at the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) plus 1.5% for drawings in Hong Kong dollars, and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.5% for drawings in other currencies. In addition, the Credit Facilities also contain certain service charges and other commissions and fees.

Under the Factoring Agreement, HSBC also provides credit protection and debt services related to each of our preapproved customers. For any approved debts or collections assigned to HSBC, HSBC charges a flat fee of 0.35% on the face value of the invoice for such debt or collection. We may assign debtor payments that are to be paid to HSBC within 90 days, defined as the maximum terms of payment. We may receive advances on invoices that are due within 30 days of the delivery of our goods, defined as the maximum invoicing period.

The Credit Facilities are subject to review at any time, and HSBC has discretion on whether to renew the Facility Letter. Either party may terminate the Factoring Agreement subject to a 30‑day notice period.

As of June 30, 2019, and March 31, 2019, the Company had made $68,222 and $360,401 in withdrawals, respectively, under the Credit Facilities, which are due within 120 days of each borrowing date or upon demand by HSBC.
