| Note receivable | Note receivable SPYR Note
On May 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SPYR Technologies Inc. (“SPYR”), pursuant to which the Company sold to SPYR substantially all of the assets and none of the specified liabilities of GeoTraq. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, SPYR delivered to the Company a five-year Promissory Note in the initial principal amount of $12.6 million. The Promissory Note bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, provides quarterly interest payments due on the first day of each calendar quarter, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Interest payments may be remitted in either restricted shares of common stock of SPYR, or in cash. The Promissory Note matures on May 24, 2027. As of July 1, 2023, the Company has accrued receivables of approximately $251,000 in interest income related to the Promissory Note.
In connection with the asset sale, the Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assess the fair value of the consideration received. Based on the valuation, the Promissory Note (“Note”) was initially valued at approximately $11.3 million, but was revised to be approximately $9.5 million upon review of the original valuation by the Company. The amount of the revised discount amount, or approximately $3.2 million, was recorded as an offset to the principal amount of the Note, and will be accreted ratably to interest income over the term of the Note. No charges against income relating to the value of the Note have been recorded for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2023. The Company will continue to review SPYR's financial trends going further to determine whether additional charges against income should occur.
The balance appearing on the Company's consolidated balance sheets represents the principal balance of the Promissory Note, net of the discount balance. During the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, approximately $201,000 and $65,000, respectively, of the discount was recorded as interest income, and during the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, approximately $403,000 and $65,000, respectively, of the discount was recorded as interest income. As of July 1, 2023, the net carrying value of the Note was approximately $9.4 million.
VM7 Note
On March 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with VM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, under which the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation, (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and (c) ARCA Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“ARCA Canada”; and, together with ARCA and Connexx, the “Subsidiaries”). The principal of the Buyer is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. The sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of the Subsidiaries to the Buyer under the Purchase Agreement was consummated simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and the Disposition Transaction. The Stock Purchase Agreement is retroactive to March 1, 2023 (see Note 18).
The minimum consideration to be received by the Company from the Disposition Transaction, as discussed above, is $1.6 million per year for 15 years, or $24.0 million in the aggregate, plus cash of $3,000 paid at close. In connection with the Disposition Transaction, the Company used a discount rate of 20% when it valued the aggregate minimum consideration. Management determined that discount rate appropriately addresses any risk that the minimum payments would not be received. The valuation, factoring in that discount rate, yielded a present value of approximately $6.0 million, which, in addition to the $3,000 paid at close, comprises the approximately $6.0 million of net consideration. The amount of the revised discount amount, or approximately $18.0 million, was recorded as an offset to the principal amount of the Note, and will be accreted ratably to interest income over the term of the Note. During the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, approximately $28,000 and $0, respectively, of the discount was recorded as interest income, and during the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, approximately $114,000 and $0, respectively, of the discount was recorded as interest income. As of July 1, 2023, the net carrying value of the note was approximately 5.7 million.
