$2,200,000 Secured Convertible Note

 

On November 13, 2018 (the "November 13, 2018 Offering"), the Company issued face value $2,200,000 5% Senior Convertible Notes issued at a 10% original issue discount along with 244,445 warrants for net proceeds of $2,000,000 (the "Notes"). Cash fees paid for financing costs were $336,193. The Notes are secured by all of our assets and accrues interest at 5% per annum, payable in cash at maturity. However, the principal amount may be converted at the option of the holder at any time during the term to maturity into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $9.0 per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below $9.0. The Notes also contain certain traditional default provisions that are linked to credit or interest risks, such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation events and corporate existence. The Company has concluded that the Notes contain an embedded conversion option that is indexed to the Company's stock which contain an optional cash settlement feature. Therefore, the embedded conversion option is subject to classification in the Company's financial statement in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 815.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued the holders warrants to purchase our common stock. The warrant is exercisable until November 13, 2021 for 244,445 of shares at a purchase price of $11.25 per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below $11.25. The Company has concluded that the Warrants contain an optional cash settlement feature. Therefore, the Warrants are subject to classification in the Company's financial statement in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 815.

 

Additionally, the Company issued its placement agents warrants to purchase its common stock. The warrant is exercisable until December 12, 2023 for 48,889 of shares at a purchase price of $11.25 per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below $11.25. The Company has concluded that the Warrants contain an optional cash settlement feature. Therefore, the Warrants are subject to classification in the Company's financial statement in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 815.

 

On July 17, 2019, the Company and the investors (the "Investors") in its November 13, 2018 Offering entered into Waiver Agreements (the "Waiver Agreements"). Pursuant to the terms of the Waiver Agreement, the Investors waived the exercise of remedies with regard to certain breaches of agreements and any and all events of defaults between the Company and the Investors, including the Notes, Warrants, and Securities Purchase Agreements (the "Transaction Documents").

 

In consideration for the Investors entrance into the Waiver Agreements, the Company increased the principal amount of each Note issued in the November 13, 2018 Offering by 30%, in the form of an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Amended and Restated Note"). Additionally, for its role as lead investor, facilitator and negotiating the terms of the Waiver Agreement, the Company issued to Cavalry Fund I LP warrants to purchase 3,333 shares of Common Stock exercisable on or after October 1, 2019 for a term of three (3) years from such date at an exercise price of $11.25 per share (the "Cavalry Warrant").

 

The Company evaluated the debt modification for the Amended and Restated Note in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the $2,200,000 Secured Convertible Note was written off and the Amended and Restated Note was recorded at fair value as of July 17, 2019. On July 17, 2019 the Company wrote off the remaining principal balance of $2,200,000 and recorded the Amended and Restated Note at fair market value in the amount of $4,476,412. On July 17, 2019, of the $4,476,412 fair market value, $2,860,000 represents the face amount of the Amended and Restated Note and $1,616,412 represents the deemed premium paid for the Amended and Restated Note which was recorded as additional debt principal to be amortized over the remaining life of the Amended and Restated Note. The Company accelerated the remaining amortization of the July 17, 2019 premium on November 19, 2019. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a reduction to amortization expense in the amount of $1,616,412 for the amortization of the deemed premium and a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $2,795,582.

 

On November 19, 2019, the Company and the Investors in its November 13, 2018 Offering have agreed to or entered into subsequent Waiver Agreements (the "November Waiver Agreements"). Pursuant to the terms of the November Waiver Agreement, the Investors agreed to waive the exercise of remedies with regard to any and all events of default between the Company and the Investors, in connection with the Transaction Documents and agreed to extend the maturity of their Notes until February 14, 2020. In connection with the November Waiver Agreement, two investors received partial repayment.

 

In consideration for the Investors entrance into the Waiver Agreements, the Company has agreed to issue to each Investor an additional Warrant (the "Additional Warrant") to purchase such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to 5% of the Warrant Shares initially issuable to such Investor under the Warrant issued to such Investor in the November 13, 2018 Offering, as amended. The Additional Warrant shall have an exercise price of $11.25 per share and shall be in form substantially the same as the Warrants issued in the November 13, 2018 Offering, provided that no cashless provision, ratchet provision or piggyback registration provisions shall be contained in the Additional Warrants.

 

The Company evaluated the debt modification for the Amended and Restated Note in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt did not qualify for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was not met. As a result, the additional warrants issued in connection with the waiver were fair valued and recorded as a debt discount, and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. In addition, the Company incurred $50,000 of deferred financing fees in connection with the modification and expensed the fees to interest expense immediately.

 

These notes matured on February 14th and the Company is in active good faith discussions with the noteholders to extend the maturity date. No defaults have been called.

 

Private Placement Offerings

 

On August 14, 2019 and August 29, 2019, the Company consummated the initial closings ("Initial Closings") of a private placement offering (the "Offerings") whereby the Company entered into those certain securities purchase agreement (the "August 2019 Purchase Agreements") with seven (7) accredited investors (the "August Investors"). Pursuant to the August 2019 Purchase Agreements, the Company issued the August Investors those certain convertible promissory notes (the "August Convertible Promissory Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $522,500 (including a 10% original issue discount) and warrants (the "August Investor Warrants") to purchase 58,057 shares of the Company's common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $475,000.

 

On October 11, 2019 and December 16, 2019, Company consummated additional closings of the Offerings whereby the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement accredited investors (the "Q2 Closings"). Pursuant to the Q2 Closings, the Company issued the investors those certain convertible promissory notes (the "Q2 Promissory Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $753,500 (including a 10% original issue discount) and to purchase 92,278 shares of the Company's common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $685,000.

 

The August Convertible Promissory Notes and Q2 Promissory Notes, together and in the aggregate the ("Bridge Notes") accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum and are initially convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Conversion Price"). The Bridge Notes contain a mandatory conversion mechanism whereby unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Notes, upon the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined therein) converts into the securities offered in such a Qualified Offering at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the offering price in the Qualified Offering. The Bridge Notes contain customary events of default (each an "Event of Default") and mature on August 14, 2020, August 29, 2020, October 16, 2020 and December 6, 2020. If an Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing with respect to the Bridge Notes will become, at the holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash at the "Mandatory Default Amount". The Mandatory Default Amount means the sum of 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest of 18% per year, and all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the Bridge Notes.

 

Pursuant to the Bridge Notes, each investor was entitled to 100% warrant coverage, such that investor in the Bridge Notes received the same number of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock as is the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes as of the date of issuance. The warrants issued in accordance with the Bridge Notes are exercisable at a price of $11.25 per share, subject to adjustment from the date of issuance through August 14, 2022, August 29, 2022, October 11, 2022 and December 16, 2022.

 

Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (the "Placement Agent") acted as placement agent for the Offerings and received cash compensation of $85,000 and warrants to purchase 20,778 shares of the Company's common stock, at an initial exercise price of $11.25 per share, subject to adjustment ("Agent Warrants"). The Agent Warrants may be exercised on a "cashless" basis and expire in August 14, 2024 and August 29, 2024.

 

Accounting for the Amended and Restated Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes

 

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes issued in the private placement offerings under the guidance of ASC 815. Because the economic characteristics and risks of the equity-linked conversion options are clearly and closely related to a debt-type host and the conversion features contain an optional cash settlement, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. Further, these features individually were not afforded the exemption normally available to derivatives indexed to a company's own stock. Accordingly, our evaluation resulted in the conclusion that this compound derivative financial instrument requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The compound derivative financial instrument consists of an embedded conversion feature. Current standards contemplate that the classification of financial instruments requires evaluation at each report date.

 

The following tables reflect the allocation of the purchase on the financing dates:

 

Secured Convertible Notes  Face Value 
   December 31,
2019
   June 30,
2019
 
Face value of Amended and Restated Note  $2,755,000   $2,200,000 
Face value of Bridge Notes   1,276,000    - 
Total face value   4,031,000    2,200,000 
Aggregate debt discount   (674,946)   (1,919,280)
Carrying value  $3,356,054   $290,720 

 

The carrying value of the aggregate secured convertible notes at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 was $3,356,054and $290,720, respectively.

 

Discounts and premiums on the convertible notes arise from (i) the allocation of basis to other instruments issued in the transaction, (ii) fees paid directly to the creditor and (iii) initial recognition at fair value, which is greater than face value. Discounts and premiums are amortized through charges to and reductions to amortization of interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debt agreement. Amortization of debt discounts amounted to $2,166,670 and amortization of debt premium amounted to $1,616,411, which resulted in expense from net amortization in the amount of $550,259 during the six months ended December 31, 2019. During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount in the amount of $55,621.

Fair Value Considerations

 

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

 

Level 1 valuations: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 valuations: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 valuations: Significant inputs to valuation model are unobservable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

 

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.

 

   Amounts at   Fair Value Measurement
Using Level 3 Inputs Total
 
Liabilities  Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Derivative liability – conversion feature  $1,958,893   $         -   $         -   $1,958,893 
Derivative liability – warrants   3,631,647    -    -    3,631,647 
Total  $5,590,540   $-   $-   $5,590,540 

  

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

 

   Amounts at   Fair Value Measurement
Using Level 3 Inputs Total
 
Liabilities  Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Derivative liability – conversion feature  $1,777,363   $       -   $          -   $1,777,363 
Derivative liability – warrants   2,877,668    -    -    2,877,668 
Total  $4,655,031   $-   $-   $4,655,031 

  

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out of all financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended December 31, 2019:

 

   Amount 
Balance at June 30, 2019  $4,655,031 
Change due to warrant exercise   (1,222,602)
Change due to extinguishment of debt   (1,426,323)
Change due to acquired amended and restated note   3,513,920 
Change due to issuance of warrants   2,210,550 
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities   (1,863,171)
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities   (233,969)
Change due to redemption of convertible debt   (42,896)
   $5,590,540 

 

The fair value of the derivative conversion features and warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2019 were calculated using a Monte-Carlo option model valued with the following assumptions:

 

    December 31,
2019
Dividend yield   0%
Expected volatility   171.4% - 244.6%
Risk free interest rate   1.9% - 2.3%
Contractual term (in years)   0.12 – 5.02
Conversion/Exercise price   $4.20 - $12.00

  

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial instruments.

 

The features embedded in the secured convertible notes and the warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo based valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation technique was utilized because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including the underlying price, exercise price, term, volatility, and risk-free interest-rate) that are necessary to fair value these instruments. For forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement, the Company projects and discounts future cash flows applying probability-weighted to multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company's common stock. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company's income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
