NOTE 11 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

In connection with the acquisition of the casing division of Jagemann Stamping Company (“JSC”), a $10,400,000 promissory note was executed on March 14, 2020. The promissory note, under which $500,000 was paid on March 25, 2019 using funds raised for the acquisition, had a remaining balance at March 31, 2019 of $9,900,000. On April 30, 2019, the original due date of the note was subsequently extended to April 1, 2020. The note bears interest per annum at approximately 4.6% payable in arrears monthly. In May of 2019, the Company paid $1,500,000 on the balance of the note. The note is secured by all the equipment purchased from JSC. JSC owned at least five percent (5%) of our shares outstanding from March 2019 through March 16, 2021.

Post-closing of the transaction, it was made apparent that certain equipment that was agreed to be delivered free and clear by the Seller was not achievable as Seller was not able to purchase equipment that Seller had leased. Accordingly, the remaining value of the promissory note was reduced by $2,596,200. As a result of the change to the purchase price of the transaction, the Company reduced Equipment for a net value of $1,871,306, decreased Other Intangible Assets by $766,068, increased Accounts Receivable by $31,924, and recorded an increase to Deposits for $9,250 worth of equipment that the Company agreed to transfer back to Seller. Consequently, accumulated amortization has decreased by $159,530. Additionally, the Company entered into a lease to gain possession of the assets that were originally to be transferred.

On June 26, 2020, the Company, Enlight Group II, LLC (“Enlight”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary and JSC entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to settle all disputes and mutually release each other from liabilities related to the Amended APA occurring prior to June 26, 2020. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company shall pay JSC $1,269,977 and shall provide JSC with: (i) two new promissory notes, a note of $5,803,800 related to the Seller Note and note of $2,635,797 for inventory and services, which was reclassed from accounts payable, both with a maturity date of August 15, 2021, (ii) general business security agreements granting JSC a security interest in all personal property of the Company. Pursuant to the Notes, the Company is obligated to make monthly payments totaling $204,295 to JSC. In addition, the Notes have a mandatory prepayment provision that comes into effect if the Company conducts a publicly registered offering. Pursuant to such provision, the Company: (a) upon the closing of an Offering of less than $10,000,000 would be obligated to pay the lesser of ninety percent (90%) of the Offering proceeds or seventy (70%) of the then aggregate outstanding balance of the Notes; and (b) upon the closing of an Offering of more than $10,000,000 would be obligated to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the then aggregate outstanding balance of the Notes. The Company was granted an option to repurchase up to 1,000,000 of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to JSC under the Amended APA at a price of $1.50 per share through April 1, 2021 so long as there are no defaults under the Settlement Agreement.
