DEBT AGREEMENTS

15. DEBT AGREEMENTS

 

Beneficial Conversion Features and Warrants

 

The Company evaluates the conversion feature of convertible debt instruments to determine whether the conversion feature was beneficial as described in ASC 470-30, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that has conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the relative fair value of any warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value of the BCF and warrants are recorded as a debt discount and is accreted over the expected term of the convertible debt as interest expense.

 

Debt Discounts

 

The Company records debt discounts as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related indebtedness on its Consolidated Balance Sheet with the respective debt discount amortized in interest expense on its Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the issuance of certain notes payable and senior convertible debentures, the Company, or its subsidiaries, issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock and has BCFs. The warrants are exercisable at various exercise prices per share. The Company evaluated the terms of these warrants at issuance and concluded that they should be treated as equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes model and was recorded as a debt discount offsetting the carrying value of the debt obligation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

The Company presents debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related indebtedness on its Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortizes these costs over the term of the related debt liability using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization is recorded in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Senior Convertible Debentures  

 

In connection with its acquisition of DragonWave and Lextrum in April 2019, ComSovereign assumed the obligations of the seller of $25,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Convertible Debentures of the seller that bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matured on December 31, 2019. Interest was payable semi-annually in cash or, at the seller’s option, in shares of the seller’s common stock at the conversion price that was equal to the lesser of (1) $8.00 or (2) 80% of the common stock price offered under the next equity offering. These debentures were past due and interest accrued at a rate of 15% per annum. The aggregate principal amount of $25,000 under these debentures was fully repaid during the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

 

On September 24, 2019, ComSovereign sold $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Convertible Debentures that bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and mature on December 31, 2021. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears in June and December of each year in cash or, at ComSovereign’s option, in shares of common stock at the conversion price that was equal to the lesser of (1) $2.50 or (2) a future effective price per share of any common stock sold by ComSovereign. Upon an event of default, the interest rate shall automatically increase to 15% per annum. In connection with these debentures, ComSovereign recognized a BCF of $69,000 and a debt discount of $181,000 associated with the issuance of warrants, both of which were recorded as debt discounts. On April 21, 2020, all unpaid accrued interest through December 31, 2019 was converted into 6,700 shares of issued common stock of the Company. Also on April 21, 2020, all the outstanding warrants were exercised at $0.01 per share into 283,530 issued shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in full recognition in interest expense of the remaining debt discount of approximately $139,000 associated with the issuance of warrants. On April 30, 2020, these debentures were amended to provide for the conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock instead of ComSovereign’s common stock. Additionally, the conversion price was changed from $2.50 per share to $0.756 per share. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $151,700 and 176,700 of the costs recorded as debt discounts were amortized and recognized in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $48,300 and $225,000 of debt discounts remaining, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 was outstanding under these debentures.

 

Certain agreements governing the secured notes payable, notes payable and senior convertible debentures contain customary covenants, such as debt service coverage ratios, limitations on liens, dispositions, mergers, entry into other lines of business, investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness.

 

All debt agreements are subject to customary events of default. If an event of default occurs with respect to the debt agreements and is continuing, the lenders may accelerate the applicable amounts due. The Company is in default on several debt agreements, and has accrued the proper penalties or disclosed any additional contingencies that resulted from the default

 

Other than for reasons of noncompliance with debt covenants as noted above, all long-term debt obligations are classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the significant debt issuance costs discounting these obligations and causing classification as noncurrent to be negative.

 

Future maturities contractually required by the Company under long-term debt obligations are as follows for the years ending December 31:

 

(Amounts in US$’s)    
Remainder of 2020  $12,334,317
