The Company loaned approximately $700,000 to First State Compassion Center, its Delaware cannabis-licensee client, during the period from October 2015 to April 2016. In May 2016, this client issued a 10-year promissory note, as subsequently amended, to the Company bearing interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum. The monthly payments of approximately $10,100 will continue through April 2026, at which time the note will become due. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the current portion of this note was approximately $64,000 and $58,000, respectively, and is included in Notes Receivable, Current Portion on the respective balance sheets.

 

From August 2018 to June 2019, the Company loaned an aggregate of $800,000 to Healer LLC (“Healer”), an entity that provides cannabis education, dosage programs, and products developed by Dr. Dustin Sulak, an integrative medicine physician and nationally renowned cannabis practitioner. The loans bear interest at 6% per annum, with principal and interest payable on the maturity dates which are three years from the respective loan dates. At September 30, 2020, the current portion of this note approximated $221,000. No portion was current at December 31, 2019.

 

In August 2019, the Company loaned $250,000 to High Fidelity Inc., a company that owns and operates two seed-to sale medical marijuana facilities in the state of Vermont and produces its own line of CBD products. Prior to the note’s maturity in August 2020, the parties agreed to continue the note on a month-to-month basis, with interest-only monthly payments ongoing at the rate of 10% per annum.

 

In January 2019, the Company provided Maryland Health & Wellness Center Inc. (“MHWC”), an entity that has been pre-approved by the state of Maryland for a cannabis dispensing license, with a $300,000 construction loan bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum. In June 2020, MHWC repaid the principal and accrued interest thereon, at which time the parties agreed to terminate their business relationship and release each other from all other previously executed agreements.

 

From May 2019 to July 2019, the Company extended loans aggregating $980,000 to Atalo Holdings Inc. (“Atalo”), an agriculture and biotechnology firm specializing in research, development, and production of industrial hemp and hemp-derived CBD products. The loans initially bore interest at 6% per annum and matured in April 2020. The Company wrote off the entire carrying value of the Atalo note receivable balance as of December 2019, based upon the expectation that Atalo would be critically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, Atalo filed for bankruptcy.
