Notes Receivable
 
During the quarter ended
September 30, 2017,
we entered into a Loan Agreement with a privately-held identity and professional services company with ties to the FinTech industry. We committed to lend up to
$1,500,000
all of which has been advanced as of
December 31, 2019.
During
2018,
we advanced
$550,000
on
three
separate simple Promissory Note(s). During
2019,
as discussed in Note
4,
we converted the Loan Agreement and all outstanding Promissory Notes to an equity ownership of
40
percent of the company. At the same time, we entered into and advanced a
$1,000,000
Loan Agreement that bears interest at the rate of
6.0
percent annually with a maturity date of
June 2021.
In
October 2019
and
January 2020,
we entered into Loan Agreements and advanced an additional
$500,000
and
$1,000,000,
respectively, that bear interest at the rate of
6.0
percent annually with a maturity date of
October 2021
and
January 2022,
respectively.
 
In the quarter ended
March 31, 2018,
we entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with a private limited India based company in the FinTech industry. We committed to lend up to
$435,000
with an initial advance of
$235,000.
The loan bears interest at the rate of
5.0
percent annually with the maturity date on the
third
anniversary of funding of such Promissory Note. We are entitled to convert the principal on the initial Note for up to
ten
percent ownership of shares of the company. Due to the economic downturn resulting from the Indian government’s response to COVID-
19
and the impact of the economic downturn on the private limited India based company, we have determined that the principal and interest is likely
not
collectible and therefore recorded a valuation allowance of
$259,000,
included in investment loss on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020.
