Credit Facilities
On August 11, 2020, we entered into two debt financing arrangements (together, the “Credit Facilities”) that allowed for expanded borrowing capacity at a lower blended borrowing cost. We paid off and terminated the Credit Facilities during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Inventory Facility with Crossroads

The first arrangement is an inventory financing facility (the “Inventory Facility”) pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Inventory Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Crossroads Financial Group, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Crossroads”). Borrowings under the original Inventory Facility were permitted up to the lower of (i) $3.0 million, which amount was subsequently increased to $3.5 million in April 2021, and (ii) a borrowing base determined from time to time based on the value of the Company’s eligible inventory, valued at 75% of inventory costs or 85% of the inventory net orderly liquidation value, less the availability reserves.
On January 18, 2023, the Company and Crossroads entered into an amendment to the Inventory Loan Agreement (the “Crossroads Amendment”) to restructure and pay down the Inventory Facility. The Crossroads Amendment provided that the Company makes payments to reduce the outstanding obligations under the Inventory Facility of $750 thousand by January 20, 2023 and $250 thousand by February 15, 2023. The Company also agreed to make monthly payments of approximately $40 thousand towards the remaining outstanding obligations under the Inventory Facility, and to reduce the maximum amount that may be available to the Company under the Inventory Facility from $3.5 million to $500 thousand, subject to the borrowing base as set forth in the Inventory Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to the Crossroads Amendment, Crossroads and the Company also agreed to extend the Inventory Facility’s current term through December 31, 2023, while eliminating the minimum borrowing amount and unused line fees and reducing the monthly service fee to a lower, fixed amount. The Company also agreed to a slightly increased interest rate, which was more than offset by the reduction in the monthly service fees. Pursuant to the Crossroads Amendment, the interest rate on borrowings under the Inventory Facility per annum was a rate equal to (i) the Three-Month LIBOR rate plus 5.5% or (ii) at Crossroads’ discretion, an alternative reference rate, SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), plus 6.00%. The Inventory Facility was paid in full on September 24, 2023, using the interest rate of 11.16% per annum, and the Company wrote off the difference of $40 thousand between the final invoice amount and the carrying value of the debt, which was recorded as interest income.

Receivables Facility with FSW Funding

The second Credit Facility was a receivables financing facility (the “Receivables Facility”) pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Receivables Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Factors Southwest L.L.C. (d/b/a FSW Funding), an Arizona limited liability company (the “RF Lender”). Borrowings under the Receivables Facility were permitted up to the lower of (i) $2.5 million and (ii) a borrowing base determined from time to time based on the value of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, valued at 90% of the face value of such accounts receivable, less availability reserves, if any.
On February 7, 2023, the Company and the RF Lender agreed to terminate the Receivables Facility. All outstanding amounts under the Receivables Facility had been repaid prior to termination, and there were no prepayment fees in connection with termination. The Receivables Facility was secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and was subject to an intercreditor agreement with Crossroads, which intercreditor agreement was also terminated.
Borrowings under the Inventory Facility was $1.4 million at December 31, 2022. Borrowings under the Receivables Facility was $0.1 million at December 31, 2022. These facilities are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 as a current liability under the caption “Credit line borrowings.”
Promissory Notes-Related Parties
During the third and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into short-term unsecured promissory notes (the “2022 Promissory Notes”) with Mei-Yun (Gina) Huang, Chiao Chieh (Jay) Huang, and Tingyu Lin. Ms. Gina Huang is a member of the Board of Directors and Mr. Jay Huang is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and a former member of the Board of Directors. The total liability for the 2022 Promissory Notes was $1.5 million at December 31, 2022. All of the 2022 Promissory Notes were exchanged for common stock on January 17, 2023. See Note 9, “Stockholders’ Equity.”

Streeterville Notes
2022 Streeterville Note
On April 21, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “2022 Streeterville Note Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”) pursuant to which we sold and issued to Streeterville a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $2.0 million (the “2022 Streeterville Note”). The 2022 Streeterville Note was issued with an original issue discount of $215 thousand and Streeterville paid a purchase price of approximately $1.8 million for the 2022 Streeterville Note, from which the Company paid $15 thousand to Streeterville for Streeterville’s transaction expenses.

The 2022 Streeterville Note had an original maturity date of April 21, 2024, and accrues interest at 8% per annum, compounded daily, on the outstanding balance. On January 17, 2023, we agreed with Streeterville to restructure and pay down the 2022 Streeterville Note and extend its maturity date to December 1, 2024 (the “2022 Streeterville Note Amendment”). We agreed to make payments to reduce the outstanding amounts of the 2022 Streeterville Note of $500 thousand by January 20, 2023 and by $250 thousand by July 14, 2023. Beginning January 1, 2024, we agreed to make twelve monthly repayments of approximately $117 thousand each. We have the right to prepay any of the scheduled repayments at any time or from time to time without additional penalty or fees.

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “March 2023 Exchange Agreement”) with Streeterville, pursuant to which we agreed to (i) partition from the 2022 Streeterville Note a new Promissory Note (the “March 2023 Partitioned Note”) in the original principal amount of $250 thousand (the “March 2023 Exchange Amount”), (ii) cause the outstanding balance of the 2022 Streeterville Note to be reduced by an amount equal to the March 2023 Exchange Amount, and (iii) exchange (the “March 2023 Exchange”) the March 2023 Partitioned Note for 71,715 shares of the Company’s common stock. The March 2023 Exchange was priced at-the-market under the Nasdaq rules and was effected pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). There were no gross proceeds to the Company in respect of the March 2023 Exchange, provided that $125 thousand of the March 2023 Exchange Amount was applied toward the $250 thousand payment due on or before July 14, 2023 pursuant to the 2022 Streeterville Note Amendment, and $125 thousand was credited to satisfy the December 1, 2024 required payment.

The total liability for the 2022 Streeterville Note, net of discount and financing fees, was $1.3 million and $2.0 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In January 2024, we paid off the 2022 Streeterville Note in full. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events”.
Unamortized loan discount and debt issuance costs for Streeterville Notes were $36 thousand and $43 thousand at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
2021 Streeterville Note
On April 27, 2021, we entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville pursuant to which we sold and issued to Streeterville a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $1.7 million (the “2021 Streeterville Note”). The 2021 Streeterville Note was issued with an original issue discount of $194 thousand and Streeterville paid a purchase price of $1.5 million for the 2021 Streeterville Note, after deduction of $15 thousand of Streeterville’s transaction expenses. The 2021 Streeterville Note had a maturity date of April 27, 2023, and accrued interest at 8% per annum, compounded daily, on the outstanding balance.
Beginning on November 1, 2021, Streeterville could require the Company to redeem up to $205 thousand of the 2021 Streeterville Note in any calendar month. The Company had the right on three occasions to defer all redemptions that Streeterville could otherwise require the Company to make during any calendar month. Each exercise of this deferral right by the Company increased the amount outstanding under the Streeterville Note by 1.5%. The Company exercised this right twice during the fourth quarter of 2021, once during the second quarter of 2022 and once during the third quarter of 2022. The Company and Streeterville agreed to exchange common stock, priced at-the-market, for the required redemptions in October 2022 and December 2022, totaling $305 thousand converted to equity. These exchanges satisfied the redemption notices provided by Streeterville, and following the December 2022 exchange, the 2021 Streeterville Note was paid in full. We wrote off $100 thousand in remaining original issue discount costs at that time.
Advanced capital contribution
In October 2023, an unrelated party agreed to subscribe the Company’s common stocks in the next round of private placement and transferred funds in the amount of $450 thousand. There is no restriction in use of the funds and the advanced capital contribution bears no interest. The terms of the next round of private placement are undetermined and the Company may return the funds on demand.
