NOTE 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We have a note payable to a related party, GGLLC, an entity formerly controlled by our CEO, which subsequently was assigned to Carpathia Associates, LLC, an entity which is owned and controlled by our CEO (“Carpathia”).  The note payable requires monthly principal and interest payments of $9,159, at a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through February 2017, at which time there is a balloon payment due of $1,003,000. The balance as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $544,745 and $1,065,324, respectively. This note payable is a result of the asset purchase agreement with GGLLC.

In August 2015, our Board of Directors approved an agreement between the Company and Carpathia (the “Agreement”).  The Agreement amended the terms of the note receivable and note payable previously entered into between the parties by offsetting the note receivable and note payable between the two parties.  The effective result was that the balloon payment of $437,313, due under the terms of the note receivable from Carpathia, was to be applied to the outstanding note payable due to Carpathia  . The balloon payment due in December 2018 will be $354,480.

As discussed in Note 10, we entered into the Saucier Note with Robert Saucier, our Chief Executive Officer, on October 2015 (the “Effective Date”).  Mr. Saucier loaned $500,000 to us, for which the terms of the Saucier Note require $590,000 shall be due on or before one year from the Effective Date, unless we pay Mr. Saucier $535,000 on or before six months from the Effective Date, in which case we will have fulfilled all of our obligations under the Saucier Note.  In April 2016, the Company fulfilled its obligation by paying $535,000 to Mr. Saucier, relieving us of any further payments or obligations under the Saucier Note.
