NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company previously occupied a portion of the offices leased by BKF Capital Group, Inc. (OTCMKTS: BKFG), on a month to month basis for a rental fee of $50 per month that was intended to cover administrative costs. Steven N. Bronson, the Company’s Chairman, CEO, and majority shareholder, is also the Chairman, CEO and majority shareholder of BKF Capital Group, Inc. Effective September 30, 2019, the Company terminated this arrangement with BKF Capital Group, Inc., and leased an administrative office from an unrelated party on a month-to-month basis for a minimum of $10 per month. Additional charges, if any, are based upon services provided by the lessor.

In April 2021, we paid BKF the full amount owed of $2,800 for this previous arrangement. There are no amounts payable to or receivable from BKF at December 31, 2022.

On December 31, 2016, Steven N. Bronson, the Company’s Chairman, President, CEO, and majority shareholder entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “2016 Bronson Note”) whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2016 Bronson Note was unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

On March 26, 2021, the Company sold 1,600,000 shares of its Common Stock to Mr. Bronson at a price of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000. Mr. Bronson paid the purchase price for the shares by cancelling $349,442 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the 2016 Bronson Note and paying $50,558 in cash.

On March 23, 2022, the Company executed a Revolving Promissory Note (the “2022 Bronson Note”), in the principal amount of up to $200,000.00 payable to Steven N. Bronson, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Bronson may make loans to the Company from time to time. The 2022 Bronson Note has a maturity date of March 23, 2027, and provides for interest to accrue on the unpaid principal at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year), compounded quarterly and payable quarterly on the last business day of the calendar quarter. The 2022 Bronson Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty.

On September 27, 2022, the “Company executed a Revolving Promissory Note (the “Qualstar Note”), payable to Qualstar Corporation (“Qualstar”). Mr. Bronson, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, is the President and CEO of Qualstar Corporation, as well as its largest shareholder. Under the terms of the Qualstar Note, Qualstar may (but is not required to) make loans to the Company from time to time upon request by the Company, up to a maximum principal amount of $200,000 outstanding at any time. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty and is repayable on demand by Qualstar on or after December 31, 2024. The Note provides for interest to accrue on the outstanding principal balance at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year), compounded and payable quarterly. The Company borrowed an initial amount of $20,000 under the Note on September 27, 2022, and an additional $30,000 on December 1, 2022.
