SVB Working Capital Line of Credit Facility

In March 2016, we entered into a Working Capital Line of Credit Facility (the “Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) to provide up to $2 million to finance our general working capital needs. The Facility is funded based on cash on deposit balances and advances against our accounts receivable based on customer invoicing. Interest on Facility borrowings is calculated at rates between the prime rate minus 1.75% and prime rate plus 3.75% based on the borrowing base formula used at the time of borrowing. The Facility contains standard events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations, breaches of affirmative or negative covenants, and bankruptcy. As of March 31, 2018, this Facility was paid off and closed.

Under the terms of the Facility, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the Facility commitments equal to 0.5% per annum.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $42,287 as of March 31, 2018 related to the Facility, which have been amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the two-year term of the Facility. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has fully amortized these costs.
