NOTE 14 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

DUE TO/FROM RELATED PARTIES

 

On March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively due from related parties for goods and services sold these companies.

 

In connection with the renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility on June 22, 2017, the amount due of approximately $1.9 million to Starlight Marketing Development, Ltd. (“Starlight Debt”) remained subordinated however, PNC Bank authorized a two-year term note in the amount of $1.0 million the proceeds of which were to be used to pay down a portion of the Starlight Debt leaving a balance due on the Starlight Debt of approximately $0.8 million. The term note bears interest at 1.75% per annum over PNC’s announced prime rate or 1, 2, or 3 month PNC LIBOR Rate plus 3.75%. The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 plus accrued interest. Provision has also been made to allow repayment of the remaining approximately $0.8 million in quarterly installments of $123,000 including interest accrued at 6% per annum commencing August 1, 2017 provided liquidity tests as defined in the original agreement are met. Due to liquidity issues caused by the bankruptcy of our second largest customer, the company was only able to make one scheduled payment on the Starlight Debt during the prior fiscal year. The remaining Starlight Debt of approximately $0.8 million has been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as the Company intends to pay the remaining balance over the next twelve months.
