Slate Advance Agreement

In March 2023 we entered into an agreement (the “Slate Agreement”) with Slate Advance (“Slate”) pursuant to which we sold $1,482,000 in future receivables (the “Slated Receivables Purchased Amount”) to Slate in exchange for payment to the Company of $975,000 in cash less fees of $40,325. The Company agreed to pay Slate at maximum of $14,999 each day until the Slate Receivables Purchased Amount is paid in full. The term of the Slate Agreement is indefinite. There is no stated interest rate. We recorded the difference between the purchase price and the receivable purchase as a debt discount. The debt discount balance is amortized as payments are made and recorded as interest expense.

In order to secure payment and performance of the Company’s obligations to Slate under the Slate Agreement, the Company granted to Slate a security interest in the following collateral: all accounts receivable and all proceeds as such term is defined by Article 9 of the UCC. We also agreed not to create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to any of such collateral.

We analyzed the transaction under the guidance of ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructuring to determine if the transaction qualified as a troubled debt restructuring. For a debt restructuring to be considered troubled, the debtor must be experiencing financial difficulty, and the creditor must have granted a concession. We analyzed the Slate Transaction under ASC 470-60 and determined that we met one of the definitions of a company experiencing financial difficulty, such as currently in default of any of our debts. As we are not in default, the fair value of the debt has not changed, we did not recognize gain or loss as the fair value has not changed, and the future undiscounted cash flows are not greater or smaller than the carrying value, the creditor has not granted any concessions. We believe that the debt does not fall into the troubled debt restructuring guidance since no concessions were granted by the creditor.
