In March 2013, we entered into a new loan agreement (the “Global 2013 Note”) with Global to refinance the outstanding $5 million Global Note Receivable and the $12 million Global Loan into one $17 million note. The Global 2013 Note extended the maturity date to June 15, 2015 and increased the interest rate from 12.5% to 12.75%. Principal payments are required quarterly and began on March 31, 2013. To date, we have received $9.5 million in principal payments from Global. As of September 16, 2014, pursuant to provisions of the Global 2013 Note agreement, the interest rate charged was increased from 12.75% up to 13.5% per annum due to Global’s nonconformity with performance conditions as of June 30, 2014. The new stated interest rate will remain in effect until the maturity of the loan agreement. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance is due on each quarterly principal payment date.

 

We have received interest payments from Global of approximately $290 thousand and $478 thousand for the three months and $1 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Payment of the Global 2013 Note is guaranteed by Global’s principal operating subsidiary. In connection with the new loan agreement, Global paid us a transaction fee of $340 thousand, of which $65 thousand was deferred and presented net of our long term notes receivable at September 30, 2014. The remaining deferred transaction fee will be recognized over the life of the loan. The remaining payments due to us under the new Global 2013 Note are as follows: $1.5 million due quarterly from December 31, 2014 through March 31, 2015 and $4.5 million due June 15, 2015.

 

Beginning June 30, 2014, the Global 2013 Note was classified as current because all quarterly payments on the Global 2013 Note had been received in accordance with the stated repayment terms, and we believe the remaining payments will also be made as scheduled. Previously, our related party loans were classified as long-term due to the historic uncertainty around the timing of collection in spite of the stated repayment terms in the agreements. We assess the collectability of our related party loan with Global on a semi-annual basis based on review of their publicly disclosed financial information. Additionally, we continually monitor all Global disclosures for any events that could adversely affect their liquidity or results of operations. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q we do not have any reason to believe that our Global 2013 Note is not collectible or is impaired. Accordingly, we did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts related to our related party notes receivable at September 30, 2014.
