NOTE 9 - CAPITALIZED LEASES | Master Lease Agreement The cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was financed under a capital lease transaction for Neese’s equipment with Utica Leaseco, LLC (the “Lessor”), pursuant to a master lease agreement, dated March 3, 2017, between Utica, as lessor, and 1847 Neese and Neese, as co-lessees (collectively, the “Lessee”). Under the master lease agreement, the Lessor loaned an aggregate of $3,240,000 for certain of Neese’s equipment listed therein (the “Equipment”), which it leases to the Lessee. The initial term of the master lease agreement was for 51 months. Under the master lease agreement, the Lessee agreed to pay a monthly rent of $53,000 for the first three (3) months, with such amount increasing to $85,321.63 for the remaining forty-eight (48) months. On June 14, 2017, the parties entered into a first amendment to lease documents, pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, extend the term of the master lease agreement from 51 months to 57 months and amend the payments due thereunder. Under the amendment, the Lessee agreed to pay a monthly rent of $53,000 for the first ten (10) months, with such amount increasing to $85,321.63 for the remaining forty-seven (47) months. In connection with the extension of the term of the master lease agreement, the parties also amended the schedule of stipulated loss values and early termination payment schedule attached thereto. In connection with the amendment, the Lessee agreed to pay the Lessor an amendment fee of $2,500. If any rent is not received by the Lessor within five (5) calendar days of the due date, the Lessee shall pay a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of the amount. In addition, in the event that any payment is not processed or is returned on the basis of insufficient funds, upon demand, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor a charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. The Lessee is also required to pay an annual administration fee of $3,000. Upon the expiration of the term of the master lease agreement, the Lessee is required to pay, together with all other amounts then due and payable under the master lease agreement, in cash, an end of term buyout price equal to the lesser of: (a) $162,000 (five percent (5%) of the Total Invoice Cost (as defined in the master lease agreement)); or (b) the fair market value of the Equipment, as determined by the Lessor. Provided that no default under the master lease agreement has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace or cure period, the Lessee has an early buy-out option with respect to all but not less than all of the Equipment, upon the payment of any outstanding rental payments or other fees then due, plus an additional amount set forth in the master lease agreement, which represents the anticipated fair market value of the Equipment as of the anticipated end date of the master lease agreement. In addition, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an administrative charge to be determined by the Lessor to cover its time and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of the option to purchase, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and costs. Furthermore, upon the exercise by the Lessee of this option to purchase the Equipment, the Lessee shall pay all sales and transfer taxes and all fees payable to any governmental authority as a result of the transfer of title of the Equipment to Lessee. In connection with the master lease agreement, the Lessee granted a security interest on all of its right, title and interest in and to: (i) the Equipment, together with all related software (embedded therein or otherwise) and general intangibles, all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions thereto whether or not furnished by the supplier; (ii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, other equipment, general intangibles, instruments, inventory, investment property, letter of credit rights and any supporting obligations related to any of the foregoing; (iii) all books and records pertaining to the foregoing; (iv) all property of such Lessee held by the Lessor, including all property of every description, in the custody of or in transit to the Lessor for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of such Lessee or as to which such Lessee may have any right or power, including but not limited to cash; and (v) to the extent not otherwise included, all insurance, substitutions, replacements, exchanges, accessions, proceeds and products of the foregoing. The assets and liabilities under the master lease agreement are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the assets. The assets, with costs of approximately $6.9 million as of September 30, 2017, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $.5 million as of September 30, 2017. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 by deducting $206,247 of debt issuance costs from the long-term portion of the capital lease. Amortization of debt issuance costs of $12,132 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $26,606 for the period March 3 to September 30, 2017 have been added to interest expense. At September 30, 2017, annual minimum future lease payments under this capital lease are as follows: Amount For the year ending December 31, 2017 (remainder of the year) $ 159,000 2018 991,537 2019 1,023,860 2020 1,023,860 2021 1,023,860 Total minimum lease payments 4,222,117 Less amount representing interest 1,089,863 Present value of minimum lease payments 3,132,254 Less current portion of minimum lease 480,352 Less debt issuance costs, net 179,641 Long-term present value of minimum lease payment $ 2,472,261 The interest rate on the capitalized lease is approximately 13.4% and is imputed based on the lower of our incremental borrowings rate at the inception of each lease or the lessor’s implicit rate of return. |
