The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”) which expires on
October 31, 
2021.
 Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, sells to the Factor a minimum of 
$150,000
 of certain accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis per quarter for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 
35%
 of the foreign and 
75%
 of the domestic accounts receivable balance to the Company (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees, forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. In addition, the Company, from time to time, receives over advances from the Factor. Factoring fees range from 
2.75%
 to 
15%
 of the face value of the invoice factored, and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. The cost of factoring is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The cost of factoring was as follows:
