NOTE 8 – CONSTRUCTION LOAN FACILITY

 

The Company obtained a construction loan facility in the amount of RMB 80,000,000 (approximately $13.0 million as of March 31, 2015) on June 21, 2013. The loan facility is for an eight-year term, which commenced on the initial draw-down date of July 11, 2013, and is from the same bank that currently provides the line of credit as discussed in Note 7.  The proceeds of the loan were used for and are collateralized by the construction of the Company’s new production facility and the included production line equipment and machinery. The loan currently bears interest at 7.205% based upon 110% of the PRC government’s eight-year term rate effective on the actual draw-down date, and is subjected to annual adjustments based on 110% of the floating rate for the same type of loan on the anniversary from the draw-down date and its subsequent anniversary dates.  The loan requires interest only payments for the first two years. Beginning July 11, 2015, the balance of the principal will be due in annual installments over six years through July 11, 2020. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no additional amounts available to it under this facility.

Fair Value of Notes Payable and Construction Loan Facility – Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, the carrying amounts of notes payable and the construction loan facility outstanding as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 approximated their fair value because of either the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or because the underlying instruments bear interest rates that approximated current market rates.
