Presently, our Chairman and President, Eric Langan, personally guarantees all of the commercial bank indebtedness of the Company. Mr. Langan receives no compensation or other direct financial benefit for any of the guarantees. The balance of our commercial bank indebtedness, net of debt discount and issuance costs, as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, was $84.6 million and $83.8 million, respectively.

 

Included in the $2.35 million borrowing on November 1, 2018 (included in debt obligations as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020) were notes borrowed from related parties—one note for $500,000 (from an employee of the Company who is also the brother of our director Nourdean Anakar) and another note for $100,000 (from a brother of Company CFO, Bradley Chhay) as part of a larger group of private lenders. The terms of these related party notes are the same as the rest of the lender group in the November 1, 2018 transaction.

 

We used the services of Nottingham Creations (formerly Sherwood Forest Creations, LLC), a furniture fabrication company that manufactures tables, chairs and other furnishings for our Bombshells locations, as well as providing ongoing maintenance.
