NOTE 8 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND NOTES PAYABLE

 

Short-Term Borrowings

 

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a short-term promissory note (“2019 Note”) with a lender (the “2019 Note Lender”) which provides the Company a revolving line of credit. On July 12, 2022, the note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that could be advanced withdrawn under the line of credit to $5,000,000. On May 24, 2024, the note was amended to temporarily increase the maximum principal amount that could be advanced withdrawn under the line of credit to $5,250,000 until June 30, 2024.

 

The borrowing base of the revolving line of credit is limited to stated percentages for different categories of eligible accounts receivable. Under the revolving line of credit, if the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding advances exceeds the applicable borrowing base, the Company must repay the lender an amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the revolving line of credit and the borrowing base. The note requires monthly payments of interest. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal at a rate equal to Prime Rate as set out in the Wall Street Journal from time to time with a floor of 5.25% per annum. The interest rate as of December 31, 2024 was 7.50%.

 

The outstanding principal amount on short-term borrowings is $3,343,710 and $2,819,620 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense related to the short-term borrowings in the amount of $602,638 and $350,890 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Notes Payable

 

On March 11, 2024, the Company entered into a Term Note Purchase Agreement with Freight Opportunities LLC to secure a term loan of $750,000. This loan is for a duration of one year and accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is reset daily.

 

On June 4, 2024, the Company executed another Term Note Purchase Agreement with Freight Opportunities LLC, resulting in an additional term loan of $125,000. This loan also has a one-year term and accrues interest at the same rate of 8% per annum, which is reset daily.

 

The Company has the option to prepay the term loans, in whole or in part, without incurring any penalties.

 

On September 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Cancellation Agreement with Freight Opportunities, LLC to cancel the principal and interest outstanding under the Term Note Purchase Agreement of $905,861. This was reported as a gain from extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
