NOTE
6
– CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
 
Bridge Loan
 
Effective
September 28, 2018,
the Company issued convertible secured promissory notes to
two
private investors in the original principal amount of an aggregate
$2,297,727
(the “bridge loan”). The bridge loan was due on
September 28, 2019.
Effective
September 27, 2019,
the bridge loan of
one
investor was paid in full. Also, effective
September 27, 2019,
the due date of the bridge loan of the other investor was extended to
December 31, 2019
in exchange for
$120,000
increase in the principal balance and
15,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. In the
third
quarter, the remaining investor converted
$100,000
of the principal balance and received
26,573
shares of the Company’s common stock. The outstanding principal balance of the bridge loan as of
September 30, 2019
was
$1,878,295.
 
The bridge loan accrues interest at a rate of
8%
per annum. Upon the earlier to occur of an event of default or the filing of certain registration statements, each investor will have the right at any time thereafter to convert all or any part of its bridge loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion factor that is the lesser of a discounted
20
trading day average price or a set price floor. The number of conversion shares that
may
be issued is subject to an exchange cap such that the sum of (a) the total number of conversion shares plus (b) the number of inducement shares is limited to an aggregate
267,833
shares.
 
Promissory Note
 
Effective
September 27, 2019,
the Company issued a promissory note with a principal amount of
$847,500
in exchange for an investment of
$700,000.
The note is due on
March 27, 2020.
Pursuant to a security agreement between the Company and the investor, the Company has granted to the investor a security interest in its assets to secure repayment of the note. As additional consideration for the investment, the Company issued an aggregate
8,858
shares of its common stock to the investor plus warrants to acquire up to
68,237
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$6.210
per share. The warrant is exercisable beginning on the
sixth
month anniversary of the effective date through the
fifth
-year anniversary thereof. The note accrues interest at a rate of
8%
per annum.
 
Derivative Liability
 
Management has concluded the bridge loan contains a conversion feature which is an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated and separately presented as a liability on the balance sheet. The embedded derivative’s value was determined using discounted stock price for the
20
trading days preceding the balance sheet date, and assuming conversion on that date as management believed it is probable that the bridge loan will be convertible based on management’s expectation that additional financing will be required. The Company recognized an unrealized gain in other expenses on the statements of net loss for the corresponding change in fair value of
$84,627
for the
nine
-month period ended
September 30, 2019.
The fair value of the derivative liability as of
September 30, 2019
was
$188,118.
 
The value of the embedded derivative from the bridge loan as well as the derivative included in the note payable agreements with the Company’s CEO (see Note
9
) were based upon level
3
inputs – see the Fair Value Caption in Note
1.
The table below discloses all changes in value of those derivative liabilities during the
nine
