The Company obtained a construction loan facility in the aggregate amount of RMB 80,000,000 (approximately $13 million) from a construction loan facility dated June 21, 2013. The loan facility is for an eight-year term, which commenced on July 11, 2013, the initial draw-down date. The total loan facility is from the same bank that provided 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 bears interest based upon 110% of the PRC government’s eight-year term rate effective on the actual draw-down date, subject 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.   On July 10, 2015, 2016 and 2017 the interest rate was adjusted to 5.94%, 5.39% and 5.73%, respectively.  The loan required interest only payments for the first two years. Beginning July 11, 2015, the balance of the principal was due in at least two (2) annual installments with the first annual payment being due within six month period after July 10, 2015 and the second annual payment being due July 10, 2016 and each following year over the next five years through July 11, 2022 on the identical terms as described above for 2015. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has made all required payments due under the loan. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no additional amounts available to it under this facility.
