Notes Payable | 7. Notes Payable The Company has a Loan and Security Agreement with PMC Financial Services Group, LLC (PMC) that provides a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit, a $3,000,000 term loan, and a Capital Expansion loan up to $4,700,000. The loans are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and become due on October 1, 2018. The notes are as follows: Revolving Line of Credit The agreement provides a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount outstanding under the line of credit was $3,530,000 and $4,384,000, respectively. The interest rate on the Revolving Loan was the prime rate plus .35% but was modified on December 7, 2016, such that the rate charge will be calculated on a sliding scale based on the trailing 6 month Earnings Before Interest Taxes and Depreciation (“EBITDA”). If the EBITDA measuring point stays below $1,000,000 where it is now, the rate will rise to 12% from the current rate of 9%. If EBITDA rises to $1,500,000 then the rate will be reduced to 9%. As of March 31, 2017, our effective rate under the revolving line was 9.5%. The monthly management fee is .45% of the average monthly loan balance. The revolving line of credit is based on 85% of accounts receivable and 60% of eligible inventory and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $192,000 borrowing availability under the line of credit agreement. The line of credit matures on October 21, 2018 and is subject to a 1% prepayment penalty for prepayment prior to the first anniversary of the effective date.

The term loans are secured by all of the unencumbered assets of the Company and are due on October 1, 2018. The annual interest rate on the first loan was prime plus 5.75% (currently 9.5%), and the rate on the second loan was prime plus 11.60% (currently 14.85%) but was modified on December 7, 2016 such that the new rate will be based on the trailing 6 month EBITDA. If the EBITDA measuring point stays below $1,000,000 where it is now, the rate will rise to 12% from the current rate of 9%. If EBITDA rises to $1,500,000 then the rate will be reduced to 9%. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the amount outstanding was $3,000,000 and $3,000,000 respectively. (B) Capital Expansion (“CAPEX”) Loan In connection with the Loan and Security Agreement with PMC, the Company entered into a Capital expansion loan which, after amendment allows a total borrowing of $4,700,000. The loans are secured by all of the property and equipment purchased under the loan. The interest rate on the CAPEX loan is the prime rate plus 5.75% (9.5% at March 31, 2017). Interest only is payable on CAPEX Loans through January 31, 2017, at which time principal and interest will be aggregated and repaid in equal monthly payments of principal and interest based on 48 month amortization. Currently and until the second tranche has been closed, the estimated amount that will become due in a the next twelve months is $953,000. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance on the CAPEX loan balance was $4,062,000 and $3,950,000 respectively, and as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had future borrowing availability of $638,000 and $750,000, respectively. In addition, Reed’s agreed to pre-pay the CAPEX Loan by at least $300,000 from the proceeds of the sale of idle equipment, if such sale were to occur. In conjunction with this loan the Company placed equipment with a cost of $250,000 at a co-packing facility to enable the co-packer to manufacture our products. Should the Company be unable to secure access to the equipment in the event of failure of the co-packer, the amount will become due and payable by the Company immediately. (C) Issuance of Warrants upon Amendments On November 9, 2015, as part of restructuring of the Term Loans with PMC, the Company granted PMC 125,000 warrants at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for five years and six months. The 125,000 warrants were valued at $141,000 using the Black Scholes Merton option pricing model and were recorded as a valuation discount. The following assumptions were made in valuing the 125,000 warrants; term of 5.5 years, volatility of 56.04%, expected dividends 0% and discount rate of 0.68%. The value of the warrants of $141,000 was recorded as a valuation discount and is being amortized over the remaining 16 months of the term loans. On May 13, 2016, as part of a further restructuring of the loans with PMC, the Company granted PMC 50,000 warrants at an exercise price of $4.50 per share with a term of five years and six months. The 50,000 warrants were valued at $38,000 using the Black Scholes Merton option pricing model and were recorded as a valuation discount. The following assumptions were made in valuing the 50,000 warrants; term of 5.5 years, volatility of 54.17%, expected dividends of 0% and discount rate of 1.49%. The value of the warrants of $38,000 was recorded as a valuation discount and is being amortized over the remaining term of the loans. On December 7, 2016, the Company agreed to reprice the exercise price of 50,000 common stock purchase warrants granted under Amendment Twelve from $4.50 to $4.10 and to reprice the exercise price of 125,000 common stock purchase warrants granted under Amendment Ten from $5.01 to $4.10. The following assumptions were made in repricing the warrants; term of 3.5 years, volatility of 49.52%, expected dividends 0% and discount rate of 0.74%. The incremental value of the warrants before and after the modification of $38,000 will be amortized over the remaining 24 months of the term loans. Reed’s also agreed to pay a one-time fee of $35,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 the amortization of the discount was $46,000 and $130,000 respectively, and the unamortized discount was $32,000 and $78,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 respectively.
