2
$907,846.00 as of June 20, 2019. No sums have been paid to the Franchisor for royalties and other sums due under the Franchise Agreements since the bankruptcy filings. |
|
P. Newtek. Debtors borrowed $5,000,000 from Newtek Small Business Finance, LLC (“Newtek”) in a Loan made September 8, 2017 (the “Loan”). The Loan was guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. |
|
Q. The Loan is evidenced by, among other things, a Loan Agreement, a U.S. Small Business Administration Note made by Debtors to the order of Newtek, and the documents described below (the “Loan Documents”), all dated September 8, 2017. The Note bears interest at a variable rate of 2.75% above the Prime Rate, adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Note. Repayment of the Note is secured by a Security Agreement made by Debtors. The Newtek loan is further secured by leasehold deeds of trust on the Peoria Store operated by Famous Xxxxxxx and the Mesa Store operated by Famous Charlie. The balance of the Newtek loan is about $4,930,000. It is payable monthly in the amount of $39,982, exclusive of late charges. The current interest rate is 8.25%. Debtors are delinquent with Newtek and charged late fees as a result. |
|
R. AZDOR. The Stores were delinquent in their prepetition transaction privilege tax payments. The State of Arizona ex rel Arizona Department of Revenue (“AZDOR”) asserts a blanket lien on Debtors’ assets. The Debtors have been segregating accruing post-petition sales taxes on a daily basis, and have further provided in the proposed DIP Financing for payment of the Transaction Privilege Taxes accrued for the month of March 2019. |
|
S. Sysco. Sysco is Debtors’ primary vendor, and provides more than weekly delivery of fresh ingredients required for Debtors to meet the Franchisor’s brand standards and customer expectations. As of March 7, 2019, Sysco was owed $187,518.05 for the four Stores. Sysco agreed to a payment plan, so that the balance would be paid in ten weekly installments of $18,518.05 plus current invoices. Debtors sought authority to pay the prepetition claim as a “critical vendor.” Debtors have no practical alternative to Sysco without shutting down the Stores for a period of time. |
|
T. Landlords. Debtors are delinquent with landlords, generally in the range of one to two months’ past due rent. Defaults owed to each of the Landlords whose leases are proposed to being assumed would be cured in connection with assumption and assignment of the leases described herein. |
|
U. Gift Cards. Debtors have issued gift cards to their customers from time to time. Debtors’ good faith estimate of gift card liability is set forth in the Purchase Price schedule. |
|
V. Budget. Debtors and Franchisor agreed on a debtor in possession loan pursuant to a Budget filed with this Court (the “Budget”). Although the DIP Loan was not approved by this Court, the Budget remains in place. |
3
|
W. Debtors have paid their post-petition obligations, including rent, generally pursuant to the Budget, except for payments to Franchisor and Newtek. Any payments to Debtors’ professionals are held in trust subject to appropriate fee application and court order. |
|
X. Debtors are unable to operate their Stores as a going concern. Debtors have sought approval of the Bankruptcy Court for the sale of substantially all of their assets to Purchaser. |
|
Y. With the assistance of a Court-approved broker, Debtors sought higher and better bids for the Assets. No bids were received from anyone other than Purchaser. |
|
Z. Subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, Debtors agree to sell substantially all of their assets, and Purchaser agrees to assume certain of Debtors’ liabilities, as follows. |
