NOTE 6– SHORT-TERM LIABILITIES

 

Convertible Note Payable

 

As discussed in Note 2, on June 27, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the Company to obtain a secured six-month term loan for the principal amount of $330,000. In connection therewith, on June 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with selected accredited investors whereby the Company had the right to secure the convertible note. The holder has conversion rights upon event of default and the conversion price is equal to the average of the three lowest prices of the Company’s common stock of the trailing ten days prior to the date conversion of the convertible note. At issuance and at September 30, 2023, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion option embedded in the Note and determined its value to be de minimis due to the fact that settlement into shares of common stock only occurs upon an event of default. If the event of default were triggered this would provide the Note holder with little upside potential and therefore no value was allocated to the embedded derivative.

 

Original Issuance Discount

 

The principal face value of the loan was $330,000 and was issued with an original issuance discount of $26,400 which resulted in aggregate proceeds of $303,600. The loan carries an interest rate of 10% per year, has a default interest rate of 18% per year, and a maturity date of December 27, 2023. Interest is payable on a monthly basis beginning one month following the issue date. On December 26, 2023, the maturity date of the loan was extended to January 27, 2024. See further discussion under “Debt Modification” section below.

 

Following an event of default, the noteholder has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all other amounts under the note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the noteholders have the option to convert the $26,400 original issuance discount, which will accrete over the life of the loan based on the effective interest method. The convertible note is also presented net of the issuance costs of $13,250 which will be amortized over the life of the note, based on the effective interest method. Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $31,639.

 

Debt Discount

 

To secure the convertible note, the Company paid a commitment fee of $83,526 by issuing 328,571 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 8. The convertible note is also presented net of the debt discount of $83,526 which represents the relative fair value of the common stock issued as of December 31, 2023, which will accrete over the life of the convertible note. Interest expense incurred related to the debt discount for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $83,526.

 

 

Debt Modification

 

On December 26, 2023, the Company and the note holder entered into a letter agreement under which an agreement was made to extend the maturity date of the Note to January 27, 2024, increase the principal of the note to $363,000, and amend the convertible note to extend the date on which the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all of the conversion shares and commitment fee to January 27, 2024. The Company subsequently failed to repay the convertible note on or before January 27, 2024, and failed to file the resale registration statement on or before January 27, 2024. See Note 10 for further extension of the maturity date to October 31, 2024.

To secure the debt modification, the Company agreed to increase the principal of the note to $363,000.

Interest expense incurred related to the debt modification discount for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $5,156.

 

The balance of the convertible note as of December 31, 2023 was $335,156, which is presented net of aggregate debt discount of $27,844.
