NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.
Description of Business. Lendway, Inc. (“the Company”) has evolved into a specialty agricultural (“ag”) and finance company focused on making and managing its ag investments in the United States (“U.S.”) and internationally. On February 22, 2024, the Company, through its majority-owned U.S. subsidiary Tulp 24.1, LLC (“Tulp 24.1”), acquired Bloomia B.V. (“Bloomia”). Subsequent to the purchase of Bloomia, the Company’s primary operations will be that of Bloomia. Bloomia is a significant producer of fresh cut tulips in the U.S. with a presence in the Netherlands and South Africa. As part of consideration for the business combination, the Company issued units of Tulp 24.1 to the continuing CEO of Bloomia, which amounted to 18.6% and is presented as noncontrolling interest in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining 81.4% equity interest of Tulp 24.1 is owned by the Company and the Company is and maintains control of Tulp 24.1 as its sole managing member. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion. The Company has retained its non-bank lending business via its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmland Credit, Inc. (“FCI”), and FCI’s subsidiaries, Farmland Credit FR, LLC and Farmland Credit AV, LLC. As part of its non-bank lending business, the Company operates FarmlandCredit.com, a non-bank lending business that seeks to purchase existing loans and/or originate and fund new loans domestically.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all wholly and majority owned subsidiaries of the Company. The operations of Bloomia are included since the date of acquisition. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, does not consolidate, but exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in equity method investments within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as described herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the Form 10-K). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 contained in the Form 10-K; however, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classification. Reclassifications had no material effect on prior year net income, net income (loss) per share, or stockholders’ equity.
The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, nor for any other future annual or interim period. The tulip sales business tends to be seasonal with spring being the strongest sales season.
On August 3, 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and certain liabilities relating to the Company’s legacy business of providing in-store advertising solutions to brands, retailers, shopper marketing agencies and brokerages (the “In-Store Marketing Business”). The operations of the In-Store Marketing Business are presented as discontinued operations. All prior periods presented have been restated to present the In-Store Marketing Business as discontinued operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023 - 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . ASU 2023 - 07 requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, includes enhanced interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contains other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company will not early adopt, and is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . ASU 2023 - 09 requires public companies to expand their income tax disclosures with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes and requires greater detail about significant reconciling items in the reconciliation. Additionally, the amendment requires disaggregated information pertaining to taxes paid, net of refunds received, for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. ASU 2023 - 09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued, and allows for either a prospective or retrospective approach on adoption. The Company will not early adopt, and is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023 - 07 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The key estimates made by management include the determination of fair values in conjunction with the acquisition of our majority interest in Bloomia, and the carrying value of inventories, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, useful lives for property and equipment and intangible assets, and value of income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions. The revenues of the Company and most of its subsidiaries are generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, most of the costs of the Company and most of its subsidiaries are incurred in U.S. dollars. The Company’s management has established that the U.S. dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company and most of its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the functional currency of the Company and most of its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Transactions and balances that are denominated in currencies that differ from the functional currencies have been remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with principles set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters . At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the periods presented. All exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement mentioned above are reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as foreign exchange expenses or income, as appropriate.
For subsidiaries whose functional currency has been determined to be other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, and condensed consolidated statement of operations items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year, and equity is translated at blended historical rates. Resulting translation differences are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable are presented in the balance sheets at their outstanding balances net of the allowance for credit losses. These receivables are generally trade receivables due in one year or less or expected to be billed and collected in one year. The Company estimates credit losses on accounts receivables in accordance with ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The Company measures the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The estimate for allowance for credit losses is based on a historical loss rate for each pool. Management considers qualitative factors such as change in economic factors, regulatory matters, and industry trends to determine if an allowance should be further adjusted. At March 31, 2024, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $ 29,000 .
Inventories. Raw materials consist primarily of tulip bulbs, including freight and packaging supplies. Work-in-process consists of tulip stems and bulbs that have rooted. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Finished goods and work-in-process include the inventory costs of raw materials, direct labor and normal manufacturing overhead. Abnormal amounts of spoilage are expensed as incurred and not included in overhead.

Table of Contents
Property and Equipment, Net. Property and equipment, net are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Bushes refer to peony plants, which accumulate planting and development costs that are capitalized into their basis until they become commercially productive, at which point the asset begins depreciating, and future maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Planting costs consist primarily of the costs to purchase and plant nursery stock. Development costs consist of cultivation, pruning, irrigation, labor, spraying and fertilization, and interest costs during the development period. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term (including renewals that are reasonably certain to occur) or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Estimated Useful life
Machinery and equipment
5 - 20 years
Leasehold improvements
15 years
Bushes
7 - 10 years
Vehicles
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 - 7 years
Long-Lived Assets Impairment Testing . Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, and right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances such as asset utilization, physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. The impairment test involves comparing the carrying amount of each individual asset-group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset group. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. In the event the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the gross undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying amount is not considered recoverable, an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of an individual asset group’s carrying amount over its fair value and is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that the impairment occurs. The reasonableness of the useful lives of the asset and other long-lived assets is regularly evaluated. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no impairment losses were identified.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Assets . Goodwill results from business combinations and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Annually, or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and if it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the Company performs the quantitative test, it compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to an estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value to identify potential impairment. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Where available, and as appropriate, comparable market multiples also used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow models. In determining the estimated future cash flow, the Company considers and applies certain estimates and judgments, including current and market projected future levels of income based on management’s plans, business trends, prospects and economic conditions and market-participant considerations. If the estimated fair value of the reporting to unit is less than the carrying value, a goodwill impairment loss is recorded for the difference, up the amount of the total goodwill. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no impairment losses were identified.
Further, the Company recognized a trade name associated with the Bloomia acquisition that was determined to be an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Annually, or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, we test indefinite-lived trade names for impairment. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a trade name is “more likely than not” less than its carrying value. If it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, we then perform the quantitative impairment test. If we perform the quantitative test, the carrying value of the asset is compared to an estimate of its fair value to identify impairment. The fair value is determined by the relief-from-royalty method, which requires significant judgment. Actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts utilized in the analysis. If we conclude an impairment exists, the asset's carrying value will be written down to its fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no impairment losses were identified.

Table of Contents
Equity-Method Investments. Investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its investments in equity-method investees in the consolidated balance sheets as equity-method investments and its share of investees’ earnings or losses together with other-than-temporary impairments in value, basis differences between the carrying amount and our ownership interest in the underly net assets of the investee, and any gain or loss from the sale of an equity method investment as gain on sale of equity investment in net income of unconsolidated investments in the statement of operations. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period.
Investments in equity-method investments and joint ventures of immaterial entities are estimated based upon the overall performance of the entity where financial results are not available on a timely basis.
Fair Value. FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," (ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
·
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
·
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
·
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other financial working capital items approximate their fair values at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to their short-term nature and management’s belief that their carrying amounts approximate the amount for which the assets could be sold or the liabilities could be settled. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value due to the debt’s variable market interest rate.
Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (ASC 606), using the following steps:
·
Identify the contract or contracts, with a customer;
·
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
·
Determine the transaction price;
·
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
·
Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of its tulips. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. Revenue from product sales is governed primarily by customer pricing and related purchase orders (“contracts”) which specify shipping terms and the transaction price. Contracts are at standalone pricing. The performance obligation in these contracts is determined by each of the individual purchase orders and the respective stated quantities, with revenue being recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of the agreement are satisfied. This generally occurs with the transfer of control of tulips to the customer and the product is delivered.
The Company expenses the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

These three customers accounted for approximately 47%, 13%, and 11%, respectively for the period ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $ 3.2 million was due from these three customers. The loss of a major customer could adversely affect the Company's operating results and financial condition.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of costs to procure, sort, pick, cool and transport bulbs. Additionally, cost of sales includes labor and facility costs related to production operations.
Shipping and Handling. The Company’s shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers. The costs of out-bound freight are included in the cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For the period ended March 31, 2024, the costs of out-bound freight were approximately $ 546,000 .
Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. These costs are included within sales, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Total advertising expense was approximately $ 2,000 for the period ended March 31, 2024.
Income Taxes . The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as prescribed by ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates in the period during which they are signed into law. In determining the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets, the Company considers any available tax planning strategies that could be implemented. Under ASC 740 a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the correct character. Failure to achieve previously forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could negatively impact the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Interest income or expense/penalties attributable to the overpayment or underpayment, respectively, of income taxes is recognized as an element of our provision for income taxes.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed, and we will recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer applies. Conversely, the Company records additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.

Stock Based Compensation . The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards at fair value. Restricted stock units and awards are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options. The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as by assumptions regarding several complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no stock options or restricted stock were issued by the Company. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $ 1,000 and $ 22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any dilutive effects of stock options and restricted stock units and awards. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all diluted potential common shares outstanding during the year.
In determining diluted net income (loss) per share, the Company considers whether the result of the incremental shares would be antidilutive. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company was in a net loss position and the result of the potentially dilutive securities was determined to be antidilutive and therefore, no incremental shares are included in any of the per share calculations.
For the period ended March 31, 2024, options to purchase 1,463 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $ 15.54 , were outstanding and determined to be antidilutive. At March 31, 2023 options to purchase 9,175 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $ 13.95 and 6,248 restricted stock units were outstanding and were determined to be antidilutive.
Weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

3. Bloomia Acquisition
On February 22, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Bloomia and its subsidiaries (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed by the Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tulp 24.1 and Tulipa Acquisitie Holding B.V. (“Tulipa”), pursuant to an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Shares by and among Tulp 24.1, Tulipa, Botman Bloembollen B.V., W.F. Jansen (“Jansen”), and H.J. Strengers, and Lendway, as the Guarantor. Jansen will continue to serve as chief executive officer of Bloomia following the Acquisition. As a result of the Acquisition, Tulp 24.1 became the holder of 100% of the ownership interests of Bloomia.
The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, "Business Combinations", using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets of Bloomia acquired, based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition.
The acquisition was funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand. The total consideration transferred for the Bloomia acquisition was $ 53,360,000 . Consideration comprised of $ 34,919,000 of cash paid, $ 15,451,000 of seller bridge loans in lieu of cash, and $ 2,990,000 of equity issued of Tulp 24.1 which is reflected as noncontrolling interest within these condensed consolidated financial statements. Following the noncontrolling equity issued, the Company owns 81.4% of Tulp 24.1 and the CEO of Bloomia owns the remaining 18.6%. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion on the debt used to finance the Acquisition.

Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods as information necessary to complete the fair value analysis is obtained. The fair value measurements associated with working capital and the allocation of certain intangible assets are preliminary as of the date these financial statements are available to be issued. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the growth potential of the Company and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using a discounted present value income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return. The fair value of the trade names was estimated using an income approach, specifically known as the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if the Company were to license the trade name and was based on expected revenues. The useful life of the customer relationships was determined considering the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted as appropriate for the entity-specific factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of the customer relationships. The issued equity of the subsidiary, now reflected as noncontrolling interest was valued considering the total value of the acquired company and comparing that to the rollover value of the shares being converted.
Revenue, net and net income for Bloomia since the date of acquisition included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $ 8,033,000 and $ 1,091,000 , respectively.
Unaudited pro forma information has been prepared as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that we would have achieved had the transaction actually taken place on January 1, 2023, and the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of future financial operating results. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be realized from the integration of the acquisitions. In accordance with ASC 250-10, the Company is unable to provide unaudited pro forma information for revenue and net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to lack of available information during the period prior to ownership. Unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:
Revenue, net

To finance the Bloomia acquisition, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Tulp 24.1 as the borrower (the “Borrower”) for a $ 18,000,000 term loan and a $ 6,000,000 revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility may be used by the Company for general business purposes and working capital, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of 80% of eligible accounts receivable and generally 50% of eligible inventory. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 3.0%. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% on the unutilized commitments under the revolving credit facility. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the personal property of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2024, the Credit Agreement will require the Borrower and its subsidiaries to maintain (a) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 and (b) a maximum senior cash flow leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 until September 30, 2024, stepping down to 2.00 to 1.00 on December 31, 2027, until the maturity date of the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. The Credit Agreement contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of the Borrower and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make distributions or pay dividends, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or grant liens on its assets, subject to certain limitations. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate loans under the Credit Agreement, including failure to make payments under the credit facility, failure to comply with covenants in the Credit Agreement and other loan documents, cross default to other material indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, failure of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to pay or discharge material judgments, bankruptcy of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, and change of control of the Company. The term loan is scheduled to be repaid in quarterly installments of $ 450,000 , commencing on June 30, 2024 with a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2029 . The term loan is subject to additional principal payments under the annual 50% of excess cash flow provision (waived if total net cash flow leverage is less than 2.0x as of fiscal year-end). The scheduled maturity date of the revolving credit facility is February 20, 2029.
As part of the financing of the Bloomia acquisition, the Company entered into notes payable with the sellers. Notes payable for $ 12,750,000 have a term of five years with a scheduled maturity date of March 24, 2029 . The notes payable are subject to additional principal payments based on “excess cash flow” (“excess cash flow” has the same definition as “excess cash flow” used to determine additional principal payments for the term loan under the Credit Agreement). The notes payable initially bear interest at 8 % per annum for the first year that increase annually by 2 percentage points. Interest on loans made under the notes payable is payable “in kind” (“PIK”) Interest that is payable “in-kind” is added to the aggregate principal amount on the applicable interest payment date. Additionally, the Company entered into short-term notes payable with the sellers. The short-term notes payable for $ 2,700,000 had a term of nine calendar weeks after the closing date. The short-term notes payable bear interest at 8 %. These notes had an outstanding balance of $ 1,050,000 at March 31, 2024, and were paid in full after the end of the quarter during April 2024.
As of March 31, 2024, there was $ 375,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the term loan, net of amortization of $ 10,000 which has been presented as a direct deduction from long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

10. Leases .
The Company is party to leasing contracts in which the Company is the lessee. These lease contracts are classified as either operating or finance leases. The Company’s lease contracts include land, buildings, and equipment. Remaining lease terms range from 1 to 15 years with various term extension options available. The Company includes optional extension periods and early termination options in its lease term if it is reasonably likely that the Company will exercise an option to extend or terminate early.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, at the later of the commencement date or business combination date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the discount rate is based on the collateralized borrowing rate of the Company, on a portfolio basis.
