NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE

Sterling National Bank

On July 31, 2020 the credit facility at Sterling National Bank was terminated. The Company has retained its cash operating account at Sterling National Bank.


The Company has been in discussions with alternate sources of funding, that can provide finance options that are more 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 or that we will secure affordable funding. The decline in the financial condition and performance of the Company in fiscal year 2020 has adversely impacted efforts to find traditional bank financing.

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. On May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $89,600.

The Company used the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. The Company submitted a loan forgiveness application with the Small Business Administration (“SBA’) on September 16, 2020, which was accepted by the bank and processed to the SBA. . On October 30, 2020, the SBA notified the Company that the PPP loan principal of $89,600 and $428 of accumulated interest had been fully forgiven which was recorded in Other Income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On December 27, 2020, the U.S. administration approved the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.This second stimulus package provided aid to eligible small businesses through a second round of PPP loans (”PPP2”). Like the initial PPP program 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 if 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 during the eight-week period.

On January 21, 2021, the Company submitted a PPP2 loan application for $139,350 through our bank’s loan processor for consideration by the SBA and is still pending approval as of the filing date of this report.

The unforgiven portion of the PPP2 loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. If approved, the Company will use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP forgiveness rules.
