NOTE 5 – FINANCING

Oxford Credit Facility

On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Business Credit (the “Credit Agreement”), as Lender. The Credit Agreement established a secured asset-backed revolving credit facility which is comprised of a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). Availability under the Credit Facility is determined monthly by a borrowing base comprised of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable of the Borrowers. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in all property of each Loan Party, subject to certain excluded collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2024, there was no availability under the Credit Facility as there were no eligible accounts receivable.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility take the form of base rate loans at interest rates of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 2.5%, but in any event no less than 10%. The Credit Agreement includes certain covenants which include, but are not limited to restrictions on debt, asset liens, capital expenditures, formation of new entities and financial covenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $25,000 associated with financing costs from the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement is for a two-year term that expires on November 28, 2026, and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on each anniversary of date of the agreement unless the Company notifies Oxford within 60 days before the anniversary date of its intention to pay off the Credit Facility and terminate the Credit Agreement.

The Company is subject to a two percent (2%) Exit Fee if the Company terminates the Credit Agreement and repays the obligations under Credit Facility prior to the anniversary date of the Credit Agreement. The Exit Fee shall automatically renew on the two-year anniversary date of the Loan Agreement for an additional one-year period unless the Company notifies Lender in writing within sixty (60) days before such anniversary date of Borrower’s intention to pay off this Credit Facility and terminate the Credit Agreement and all obligations of the Credit Facility are paid in full by such anniversary date. There were no draws against the Credit Facility to date.

Fifth Third Bank Asset-backed Revolving Credit Facility

On October 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Fifth Third Financial Corporation (the “Credit Agreement”), as Lender, replacing the Company’s credit facilities with Crestmark and IHC that were terminated by the Company on October 13, 2022. The Credit Agreement established a secured asset-backed revolving credit facility which is comprised of a maximum $15,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was terminated on November 17, 2023. Availability under the Credit Facility was determined monthly by a borrowing base comprised of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory of the Borrowers. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in all property of each Loan Party, subject to certain excluded collateral (as defined in the Credit Facility).

Costs associated with closing of the Credit Agreement of approximately $254,000 were deferred and being amortized over life of the loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $0 and $21,000, respectively associated with the amortization of deferred financing costs from the Credit Agreement.
