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, 2025 and September 30, 2024, was $137.3 million and $135.3 million, respectively.
Included in the debt balance as of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, are notes borrowed from related parties—one note for $500,000 (from Ed Anakar, an employee of the Company and brother of our former director Nourdean Anakar) and another note for $150,000 (from a brother of Company CFO, Bradley Chhay) in which the terms of the notes are the same as the rest of the lender group.
We used the services of Nottingham Creations, and previously Sherwood Forest Creations, LLC, both furniture fabrication companies that manufacture tables, chairs and other furnishings for our Bombshells locations, as well as providing ongoing maintenance. Nottingham Creations is owned by a brother of Eric Langan (as was Sherwood Forest). Amounts billed to us for goods and services provided by Nottingham Creations and Sherwood Forest were $3,974 and $6,754 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and $202,700 and $344,798 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, we owed Nottingham Creations and Sherwood Forest $3,312 and $18,700, respectively, in unpaid billings.
