Investment in account receivable

Note 3 – Investment in account receivable

On April 10, 2015, the Company entered into an exchange agreement whereby the Company received an investment in an account receivable with annual installment payments of $117,000 for 11 years, through 2026, totalling $1,287,000 in exchange for 757,059 shares of Mentor Common Stock obtained through the exercise of 757,059 Series D warrants at $1.60 per share plus a $0.10 per warrant redemption price.

The Company valued the transaction based on the market value of Company common shares exchanged in the transaction, resulting in a 17.87% discount from the face value of the account receivable. The discount is being amortized monthly to interest over the 11-year term of the agreement. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we were notified that due to the effect of COVID-19, we might not receive the 2020 installment or the full 2021 installment. Based on management’s collection estimates, we recorded an investment loss of ($139,148) on the investment in account receivable at December 31, 2021. In 2021, the Company reevaluated estimated collections and recorded an investment gain of $22,718. The gain of $22,718 and loss of ($139,148) are reflected in other income on the consolidated income statement for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively
