NOTE 20 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued promissory notes totaling $1.80 million to OneQor Technologies, Inc (“OneQor”). Derek Peterson and Mike Nahass, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, have minority ownership interests in OneQor. At the end of the fiscal year, management made the decision to fully-reserve for these loans due to their confidence in the completion of the merger with OneQor, which would result in the cancellation of these loans.

 

On December 30, 2019, the Company entered into a secured promissory note agreement with the Matthew Lee Morgan Trust, which is affiliated with Matthew Morgan, the Chief Executive Officer of OneQor. The note matures on December 30, 2020, and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The note is secured by the Company’s HydroFarm investment.

 

All related party transactions are monitored quarterly by the Company and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
