Note 13 – Related Party Transactions

Debt with Street Capital

During 2018, the Company terminated the existing Street Capital Loan through the repayment of all principal and interest outstanding totaling $0.4 million. The Company’s loan from Street Capital was previously classified as related party debt because the Company’s Board of Director Chairman was an affiliate of Street Capital through December 2018.

 

Transactions with Other Related Parties

As part of the operations of NLEX, the Company leases office space in Edwardsville, IL that is owned by the President of NLEX, David Ludwig. The total amount paid to the related party was approximately $105,000 and $100,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.  All of the payments in both 2018 and 2017 were made to David Ludwig. On June 1, 2018, the Company amended its lease agreement with David Ludwig, whereby the term of the agreement extends to May 31, 2023 and the rent amounts were agreed upon for the new term.

In 2016 the Company entered into a secured related party loan agreement with certain executive officers of the Company which is more fully described in Note 9.  Both Ross Dove and Kirk Dove, who were parties to the related party loan, share equally in all payments made by the Company to satisfy obligations under the loan agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made payment of approximately $179,000 to the respective parties based on the profit share provision for principal and guarantee transactions that occurred in 2017 and the first three quarters of 2018.
