NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE

Sterling National Bank

On September 8, 2010, in order to fund increasing accounts receivables and support working capital needs, Capstone secured a Financing Agreement from Sterling Capital Funding (now called Sterling National Bank), located in New York, whereby Capstone receives funds for assigned retailer shipments. The assignments provide funding for an amount up to 85% of net invoices submitted.

There is a base management fee equal to .30% of the gross invoice amount. The interest rate of the loan advance is .25% above Sterling National Bank's Base Rate which at time of closing was 7%. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the interest rate on the loan was 5.25% and 6.75%, respectively. The amounts borrowed under this agreement are due on demand and collateralized by substantially all the assets of Capstone.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the processing fees associated with the agreement were $2,974 and $9,732, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the processing fees associated with the agreement were $3,307 and $20,228 respectively.

On July 18, 2019, Sterling National Bank renewed the credit line up to $7,500,000 to June 30, 2020.

The credit facility at Sterling National Bank was up for renewal. On July 16, 2020, the Company received a Termination of Factoring Agreement letter advising that the Factoring Agreement would be terminated effective September 30, 2020. The bank advised that as the existing facility had not been used in recent years and with the uncertainties associated with the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on the retail sector, the bank decided not to renew the Factoring Agreement. The Company requested to terminate the Agreement on July 31, 2020 which was agreed to by the bank.

The Company will seek a new credit facility that will also provide funding options that are suitable to the e-commerce business model that the Company is transitioning into. The borrowing costs associated with such financing, are dependent upon market conditions and our credit rating. We cannot assure that we will be able to negotiate competitive rates, which could increase our cost of borrowing in the future.

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, there was no balance due to Sterling National Bank.

The Company, through Sterling National Bank, applied for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was enacted on March 27, 2020 as part of the CARES Act and provides for loans for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. On May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $89,600.

The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued $133 of interest expense for this PPP loan. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. The Company believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan,  however we cannot be certain that we will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan. Under Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and  U.S.Treasury Department guidelines issued in May 2020, a borrower must apply for the forgiveness of the loans by filing SBA Form 3508, Paycheck Protection Program Loan Forgiveness Application.
