Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's ability to repay the $1,000,000 principal plus accrued interest by the June 23, 2017 maturity date.
- Review the specific assets pledged as collateral (accounts receivable) to understand potential restrictions on working capital.
- Assess the impact of the 18% interest expense on future earnings.
- Confirm if this borrowing indicates a broader liquidity constraint requiring additional financing.
