8. Note Receivable

On December 29, 2017, the Company committed to provide up to $30,000 in additional working capital to AdvisorEngine Inc. (“AdvisorEngine”) pursuant to an unsecured promissory note, all of which has been funded. The majority of the funds were used by AdvisorEngine to acquire CRM Software, Inc., known as Junxure, a comprehensive client relationship management software and technology provider for financial advisors.

All principal amounts under the note bear interest from the date such amounts are advanced until repaid at a rate of 5% per annum, provided that immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (as defined), interest will be increased to 10% per annum. All accrued and unpaid interest is treated as paid-in-kind (“PIK”) by capitalizing such amount and adding it to the principal amount of the original note. AdvisorEngine has the option to prepay the note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. All borrowings under the promissory note mature on December 29, 2021.

In connection with providing funding to AdvisorEngine for the acquisition of Junxure, the Company secured an option to purchase the remaining equity interests in AdvisorEngine. The option was ascribed a fair value of $3,278 (See Note 9) which gave rise to original issue discount reducing the carrying value of the note.

The following is a summary of the outstanding note receivable balance:


	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Note receivable (face value)	$	30,000		$	22,000
Less: Original issue discount (“OID”), unamortized		(2,788	)		(3,252	)
Plus: PIK interest		909			—

Total note receivable, net	$	28,121		$	18,748

Commitment remaining		n/a		$	8,000

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized interest income of $533 and $1,373, respectively, which included OID amortization and accrued PIK interest. The Company determined that an allowance for credit loss was not necessary at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 as the note receivable was recently issued and no adverse events or circumstances have occurred which may indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of the note receivable at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 approximates fair value as the implied discount rate of the note is similar to observable high yield credit spreads.
