$205,840 $126,796 
(1)In connection with the acquisition of Silver City in January 2012, the Company executed notes to the seller in the amount of $1.5 million. The notes are payable over eleven years at $12,256 per month including interest and have an adjustable interest rate of 5.5%. The rate adjusts to prime plus 2.5% in the 61st month, not to exceed 9%. In the same transaction, the Company also acquired the related real estate and executed notes to the seller for $6.5 million, which have been paid off in relation to the December 2017 Refinancing Loan, as discussed below. The notes were also payable over eleven years at $53,110 per month including interest and have the same adjustable interest rate of 5.5%.
(2)In 2015, the Company reached a settlement with the State of Texas over payment of the state’s Patron Tax on adult club customers. To resolve the issue of taxes owed, the Company agreed to pay $10.0 million in equal monthly installments of $119,000, without interest, over 84 months, beginning in June 2015, for all but two nonsettled locations. For accounting purposes, the Company has discounted the $10.0 million at an imputed interest rate of 9.6%, establishing a net present value for the settlement of $7.2 million. In March 2017, the Company settled with the State of Texas for one of the two remaining unsettled Patron Tax locations. The Company agreed to pay a total of $687,815 with $195,815 paid at the time the settlement agreement was executed followed by 60 equal monthly installments of $8,200 without interest. In March 2017, the present value of the second note was approximately $390,000 after discounting using an imputed interest rate of 9.6%. On April 20, 2022, the Company finally settled all of its remaining Patron Tax debt. Going forward, the Company agreed to remit the Patron Tax on a regular basis, based on the current rate of $5 per customer.
(3)On May 8, 2017, in relation to the Scarlett’s acquisition, the Company executed two promissory notes with the sellers: (i) a 5% short-term note for $5.0 million payable in lump sum after six months from closing date and (ii) a 12-year amortizing 8% note for $15.6 million. The 12-year note is payable $168,343 per month, including interest. The Company has amended the $5.0 million short-term note payable several times, which has a remaining balance of $3.0 million, extending the maturity date and increasing the interest rate. Presently, the maturity date is October 1, 2027 and the interest rate is 8% for its remaining term. Refer to December 2019 amendment below.
(4)On December 7, 2017, the Company borrowed $7.1 million from a lender to purchase an aircraft at 5.99% interest. The transaction was partly funded by trading in an aircraft that the Company owned with a carrying value of $3.4 million, with an assumption of the old aircraft’s note payable liability of $2.0 million. The aircraft note is payable in 15 years with monthly payments of $59,869, which includes interest. In March 2020, this loan was extended to September 2033.
(5)On September 26, 2018, the Company refinanced a $500,000 12% note payable for $1.35 million from a private lender by executing a 9% 10-year note payable $17,101 monthly, including interest, until maturity. In relation to a sale of a held-for-sale property (see Note 7), this note was fully paid in March 2022.
(6)On December 11, 2018, the Company purchased an aircraft for $2.8 million with a $554,000 down payment and financed for the remaining $2.2 million with a 5.49% promissory note payable in 20 years with monthly payments of $15,118, including interest. Certain principal and interest payments during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were deferred until maturity date.
(7)On May 8, 2020, the Company received approval and funding under the PPP of the CARES Act for its restaurants, shared service entity and lounge amounting to $5.4 million. Under the terms of the loans as provided by the CARES Act, the twelve PPP loans bear an interest rate of 1% per annum. As of September 30, 2022, we have received eleven
Notices of PPP Forgiveness Payment from the Small Business Administration out of the twelve of our PPP loans granted. All of those notices received forgave 100% of each of the eleven PPP loans totaling the amount of $5.3 million in principal and interest. In November 2021, we received a partial forgiveness of the remaining $124,000 PPP loan for $85,000 in principal and interest. The remaining unforgiven portion of approximately $41,000 in principal was fully paid in May 2022 as debt plus accrued interest. See Note 10.
(8)On January 25, 2021, the Company borrowed $2.175 million from a bank lender by executing a 20-year promissory note with an initial interest rate of 3.99% per annum. The note is payable $13,232 per month for the first five years after which the interest rate will be repriced at the then-current prime rate plus 1.0% per annum, with a floor rate of 3.99%. The Company paid approximately $25,000 in debt issuance costs at closing. This note was fully paid with proceeds from the January 25, 2022 borrowing.
(9)On September 30, 2021, we entered into a $99.1 million term loan refinancing $85.7 million of existing bank and seller-financed real estate debt and to provide $12.3 million in cash that will be used to pay off existing high-interest unsecured debt (“September 2021 Refinancing Note”), enabling those creditors to provide financing for the acquisition of 11 clubs and related real estate (see Note 16). The $99.1 million note has a term of 10 years with an initial interest rate of 5.25% per annum for the first five years, then adjusted to a rate equal to the then weekly average yield of U.S. Treasury Securities plus 350 basis points, with a floor rate of 5.25%. The note is payable in monthly payments of principal and interest of $668,051, based on a 20-year amortization period, with the balance paid at maturity. In connection with the transaction, we wrote off to interest expense approximately $103,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the paid-off debts. We also paid approximately $1.0 million in loan costs, approximately $567,000 of which is capitalized and will be amortized together with the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of some of the existing refinanced debts for the term of the new note using the effective interest method. There are certain financial covenants with which the Company is to be in compliance related to this loan.
(10)On October 12, 2021, the Company amended the $5.0 million short-term note payable related to the Scarlett’s acquisition in May 2017, which had a balance of $3.0 million as of the amendment date, extending the maturity date to October 1, 2027. The amendment did not have an impact in the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
(11)On October 12, 2021, we closed on a debt financing transaction with 28 investors for unsecured promissory notes with a total principal amount of $17.0 million, all of which bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Of this amount, $9.5 million are promissory notes, payable interest only monthly (or quarterly) in arrears, with a final lump sum payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on October 1, 2024. The remaining amount of the financing is $7.5 million in promissory notes, payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 10-year amortization period, with the balance of the entire principal amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest due and payable in full on October 12, 2024. Included in the $17.0 million borrowing are two notes for $500,000 and $150,000 borrowed from related parties (see Note 19) and two notes for $500,000 and $300,000 borrowed from two non-officer employees in which the terms of the notes are the same as the rest of the lender group.
