[1] On September 22, 2017, DGSE entered into a purchase agreement with David Larson and the Larson Group, LLC for preowned fine Rolex watches and aftermarket Rolex accessories, the tradename "Fairchild International", the website www.fairchildwatches.com and all telephone numbers and copyrights used solely in the operation of selling preowned Rolex watches. The $675,000 Secured Promissory Note with a remaining balance of $644,313, became likely uncollectable following the death of its principal, David Larson, and subsequent filing by Larson Group LLC under chapter 7 of the US Bankruptcy Protection laws, on August 6, 2018. DGSE viewed the likelihood of collecting remaining funds or collateral as remote and wrote off the full balance.
