For the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2019,
we recorded
$3,494,000
and
$3,996,000
of interest expense related to the amortization of discounts on convertible notes payable and coupon interest from our convertible notes and line of credit (see also Note
6
).
 
 
Conversion of Debt Obligations
 
During the year ended
December 31, 2018,
$6,190,000
of debt was converted into shares of our common stock. During the year ended
December 31, 2019,
$1,735,000
of debt was converted into shares of our common stock.
 
Early Conversion of Unit Notes
 
In
May 2018,
prior to their maturity dates, we issued
17,255,811
shares of our common stock in satisfaction of
$4,626,000
of convertible promissory notes issued in our “unit” offerings at varying conversion prices, maturing on the following dates (in thousands):

Total debt converted into shares, May 2018
  $
4,626
 
 
These conversions were voluntary on the part of the noteholders and prior to the various maturity dates on notes that were issued in prior “unit” offerings conducted by the Company (
2015
Unit Offering, Winter
2016
Unit Offering, and Summer
2017
Unit Offering). We offered these noteholders incentives to convert their notes early.  Noteholders with conversion prices of
$0.25
and
$0.30
were offered incentive shares equal to
one
and
one
-half times the number of shares issuable for the payment of interest that would accrue from the last interest payment date of
March 20, 2018,
through the maturity of the note, at a fixed price of
$0.25
per share (for example, a note that would have yielded
$1,000
in interest, would receive
1,000
times
1.5
divided by
0.25
equals
6,000
incentive shares). We offered holders of notes with conversion prices higher than
$0.30
the ability to reduce their conversion price to
$0.30
by paying additional funds equal to
six
percent or
twenty
percent of their original investment (
6%
for notes with original conversion prices of
$0.35,
and
20%
for notes with original conversion prices of
$0.55
and
$0.57
). The additional funds did
not
increase the amount of the note payable, nor did the reduced conversion price affect the number of shares purchasable under the warrant issued with their “unit” investment. Holders of
40
notes elected to pay an aggregate
$357,000
to reduce the conversion prices of their notes to
$0.30.
As a result of the reduction in conversion prices, an additional
2,749,197
shares were issuable pursuant to the notes upon conversion. The fair value of these additional shares was
$632,000.
 Additional interest expense of
$276,000
was recorded as part of the debt conversion and is the amount by which the fair value of the additional shares exceeded the cash received by the Company. Holders of
41
notes with original conversion prices of
$0.30
and
$0.25
elected to convert early and received
966,318
additional “incentive shares” for their agreement to do so.
 
Conversion of
2015
Unit Offering Notes at Maturity
 
On
June 1, 2018,
we elected to convert the
$822,000
outstanding promissory notes remaining in our
2015
Unit Offering on their
June 1, 2018
maturity date into
2,488,819
shares of our common stock. Of the shares issued,
2,411,004
were issued in satisfaction of principal amounts due on notes with conversion prices of
$0.25,
$0.35,
and
$0.55,
and
77,815
shares were issued in satisfaction of
$20,000
of accrued and unpaid interest.
 
Conversion of
one
-year convertible notes, mature
July 18, 2018
 
On
July 2, 2018,
the holders of
two one
-year notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$280,000
which were due to mature on
July 18, 2018,
tendered an offer to the Company to convert
100%
of the balance due on the outstanding notes into shares of our common stock in lieu of receiving cash. We accepted the offer and agreed to convert the principal balance of
$280,000
and
$9,000
in outstanding interest into an aggregate
1,153,600
shares of our common stock, at
$0.25
per share.
 
Conversion of convertible note, matures
October 16, 2018 (
FirstFire)
 
On
January 16, 2018,
we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “FirstFire Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “FirstFire RRA”) with FirstFire Global Opportunity Fund, LLC (“FirstFire”), and issued a
nine
-month promissory note (the “FirstFire Note”) in the principal amount of
$150,000
at
5%
annual interest convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at
$0.394
per share, subject to the terms, and certain limitations and conditions set forth in the FirstFire Purchase Agreement and FirstFire Note.
 
Pursuant to the FirstFire Purchase Agreement, the Company issued
75,000
shares of common stock to FirstFire as a commitment fee (the “FirstFire Commitment Shares”) at
$0.39
per share and
$29,000
is recorded as a discount on convertible notes and will amortize to interest expense over the term of the note. Pursuant to the FirstFire RRA, because our common stock traded lower as of the date the FirstFire Commitment Shares were registered (
$0.3147
on
February 8, 2018),
we issued
36,536
additional commitment shares of our common stock and
$11,000
is recorded as additional discount on convertible notes and will amortize to interest expense over the term of the note.
 
The FirstFire Note contains a price protection provision such that if we issue a security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security that was
not
similarly provided in the FirstFire Note, then the Company shall notify FirstFire of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at its option, shall become a part of the FirstFire Note. As a result of our sale of common stock at
$0.25,
the conversion price of the FirstFire Note was reduced from
$0.394
to
$0.25.
 
In
June 2018,
FirstFire elected to convert
$96,000
of the outstanding principal balance of the FirstFire Note and we issued
383,047
shares, plus
11,902
shares for outstanding interest. On
July 15, 2018,
FirstFire elected to convert the remaining outstanding principal amount of
$54,000,
plus interest, and we issued
217,960
shares at
$0.25
per share.
 
Conversion of Convertible Notes, mature
December 31, 2019 (
Winter
2016
Unit Offering)
 
Of the
$292,000
of promissory notes issued in our Winter
2016
Unit Offering, all but
$75,000
were converted in
May 2018 (
see table above). The remaining note, held by
one
investor, converted on the
December 31, 2019
maturity date, at the
$0.57
conversion price, into
131,579
shares of common stock.
 
Payment - Convertible Note, matures
January 11, 2019
 
On
October 16, 2018,
we received
$225,000
and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of
$300,000
that incurs interest at an annual rate of
5%,
and was scheduled to mature
January 11, 2019.
The
$75,000
original issue discount is recorded as a discount on our convertible note and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. In addition to the note, we issued the investor a stock purchase warrant (see Note
6
).
 
On
January 8, 2019,
we paid this note in full.
 
Convertible Note, matures
April 18, 2020
 
On
April 18, 2019,
we received
$188,000
and issued a convertible note to Bellridge Capital, LP (“Bellridge”) in the principal amount of
$220,000
(the “Bellridge Note”), representing a
10%
original issue discount, and a deduction of
$10,000
for legal fees paid to the investor. The note was originally due
April 18, 2020
and earned interest at
10%
per annum.
 
The Bellridge Note is convertible at the option of Bellridge at a conversion price equal to
70%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
trading days prior to the conversion date. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a fair value totaling
$120,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes on our balance sheet. This discount was amortized over the term of the note as interest expense.
 
On
October 2, 2019,
we paid the
$220,000
balance of the note in full and also incurred an early payment penalty totaling
$69,000,
recorded as interest expense on our statement of operations.
 
Note payable, matures
March 8, 2023 (
or on demand)
 
On
March 8, 2018,
we received
$50,000
and entered into a note payable. The note is due on upon demand from the noteholder, with
sixty
days’ notice. In the absence of the demand, the maturity date is
March 8, 2023.
In lieu of interest, we issued the noteholder a warrant (see Note
6
). The noteholder has indicated a desire to continue to roll the note forward for the foreseeable future.
 
Lines of credit, due on demand
 
On
March 1, 2018,
we received
$390,000,
and on
September 1, 2018,
we received
$40,000,
pursuant to a line of credit accruing interest at a rate of
18%
per annum, for which we have pledged our inventory and accounts receivable as collateral. Interest is paid quarterly; the holder
may
choose to receive interest payments in (i) cash, (ii) our common stock, calculated based on the
20
-day average closing price, or (iii) options to purchase our common stock, priced at the
20
-day average closing price, the number of shares doubled, and expiring
10
years from the date of grant. The holder of the line of credit has the right to call due the outstanding principal amount on
30
-days’ notice at any time after
September 1, 2019.
 
Each creditor, for
no
additional consideration, received a warrant to purchase our common stock. The warrant allows for the purchase of the number of common shares equal to the investment amount (e.g.,
one
warrant share for each dollar invested), at a price of
$0.35
and expires
March 1, 2023.
 
During
July
and
August 2019,
line of credit holders in the principal amount of
$205,000,
agreed to satisfy the line of credit through the issuance of an amended and restated convertible promissory note totaling
$256,000
due in
12
months,
August 2020,
including a
25%
original issue discount. They also received a warrant to purchase
1,130,515
shares of our common stock (see Note
6
). The amended and restated note is convertible by the holder at
$0.17
per share. The interest rate was reduced from
18%
to
5%
per annum.
 
The total of the fair value of the warrant and the fair value of the new note and its beneficial conversion feature exceeded the carrying value of the old note by
$315,000,
resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment recorded on our statement of operations.
 
During the
three
months ended
December 31, 2019,
$175,000
was paid to line of credit holders. As of
December 31, 2019,
the line of credit outstanding balance totaled
$50,000.
There is
no
prepayment penalty, and we
may
pay this debt at any time.
 
Notes payable, mature
August 12
and
16,
2020
(previously due
September 6, 2019)
 
On
September 19, 2018,
we received
$400,000
and issued promissory notes originally due
January 5, 2019
and incurring interest at an annual rate of
12%,
and stock purchase warrants (see Note
6
), to
two
investors (Vernal Bay Investments, LLC (“Vernal”) and Chappy Bean, LLC (“Chappy Bean”)).
 
We and the noteholders agreed to extend the maturity dates of the notes multiple times in
2019.
In
August, 2019,
we made a partial payment to
one
of the noteholders, and agreed to refinance the remaining
$440,000
principal and interest through the issuance of amended and restated convertible promissory notes due in
12
months, which included a
25%
original issue discount, and is convertible by the holders at
$0.17
per share. The interest rate was reduced from
18%
to
5%
per annum. The terms of the investment are similar to that offered to the Twelve-month OID note investors (see section below), and thus we issued warrants in conjunction with the amended and restated notes (see Note
6
). Including the OID, the principal amount due on the notes is
$550,000.
 
The total of the fair value of the warrants and the fair value of the new notes and their beneficial conversion features exceeded the carrying value of the old notes by
$422,000,
resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment recorded on our statement of operations. 
 
Convertible Notes, due
November 5, 2019
and
December 7, 2019 (
Tangiers Global)
 
 On
January 31, 2019,
we issued a
12%
Convertible Promissory Note to Tangiers Global, LLC (“Tangiers”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$495,000
(the “Tangiers Note”). The note allows for
two
payments, each due in
nine
months after receipt, and incurs a guaranteed interest of
12%
at inception. The initial payment of
$300,000
was received on
February 5, 2019,
representing a
$330,000
principal amount and
10%
original issue discount. It was due
November 5, 2019.
We received the
second
payment, in the amount of
$150,000,
on
March 7, 2019,
increasing the principal amount due under the note to
$495,000.
This
second
amount, plus guaranteed interest, was due
December 7, 2019. 
In the aggregate, the principal amount of the note, plus guaranteed interest, totals
$554,000.
 
The Tangiers Note is convertible at the option of Tangiers at a conversion price equal to
75%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a fair value totaling
$185,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes on our balance sheet. This discount was amortized over the term of the note and recorded as interest expense in
2019.
 
On
July 29, 2019,
Tangiers Global, LLC, elected to convert
$369,000
principal amount due on its promissory note issued
January 31, 2019,
into
2,640,000
shares of common stock.
 
On
October 2, 2019,
Tangiers Global, LLC, elected to convert the remaining
$184,000
principal amount due on its promissory note issued
January 31, 2019,
into
1,200,000
shares of common stock.
 
Convertible Nine-Month OID Notes
 
During
January
and
February 2019,
we issued convertible promissory notes due in
nine
months (each, an “OID Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$213,000,
with a
25%
original issue discount. These notes were initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of
$0.25
per share. Our agreement with the investors provided that the initial conversion price
may
be adjusted downward in the event the Company subsequently issues a convertible promissory note at a lower conversion rate (with this lower conversion rate becoming the adjusted conversion rate under the OID Note), or conducts an equity offering at a per-share price less than
$0.25.
Each investor also received a stock purchase warrant equal to
75%
of the principal amount, divided by the conversion price of
$0.25
(see Note
6
).
 
On
June 7, 2019,
we began issuing
twelve
-month OID notes at a lower conversion price (
$0.17;
see “Convertible Twelve-month OID notes”, below). As such, we reduced conversion prices of these notes to
$0.17,
resulting in an increase of
300,000
shares available for purchase under the warrants.
 
On their maturity dates, we issued an aggregate
1,340,698
shares of our common stock in satisfaction of the principal and interest due on these notes.
 
Convertible Notes, mature
June 15, 2021
 
On
June 15, 2018,
we received
$75,000
and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of
$82,500.
On
August 7, 2018,
we received
$25,000
and issued an OID Note in the principal amount of
$32,500.
These notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of
$0.30
per share. The original issuance discount totaled
$10,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable on our balance sheet. The discount will be amortized and recorded to interest expense over the term of the notes. The notes mature
June 15, 2021,
and incur interest at the rate of
15%
per annum. Interest due will be paid quarterly in arrears in shares of common stock, paid at a conversion price equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the
20
trading days prior to the interest payment due date. The notes are convertible by the investors at any time, and convertible by the Company (i) at maturity, (ii) in the event the Company’s stock price closes at
two
times the conversion price for
20
consecutive days, provided that either the shares underlying the convertible note are registered with the SEC, or more than
six
months has elapsed since the date of the investment.
 
In
September 2019,
these notes were satisfied through the issuance of amended and restated convertible notes totaling
$125,000
due in
12
months,
September 2020,
including a
25%
original issue discount. Similar to the Twelve-month OID notes (see following section), the investors also received a warrant to purchase an aggregate
551,471
shares of our common stock (see Note
6
). The amended and restated note is convertible by the holder at
$0.17
per share. The interest rate was reduced from
18%
to
5%
per annum.
 
The total of the fair value of the warrants and the fair value of the new notes and their beneficial conversion feature exceeded the carrying value of the old note by
$64,000,
resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment recorded on our statement of operations.
 
Convertible Twelve-month OID notes
 
From
June 7, 2019
through
September 30, 2019,
we received
$2,235,000
and issued convertible promissory notes (each, a
“12
-Month OID Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$2,794,000,
with a
25%
original issue discount, to
34
accredited investors. The original issuance discount totaled
$559,000
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable on our balance sheet. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features resulted in an aggregate fair value of
$2,235,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes on our balance sheet. The discounts will be amortized and recorded to interest expense over the term of the notes. These notes mature
twelve
months from the date of issuance.
 
During the
three
months
July 1, 2019
through
September 30, 2019,
in exchange for
$305,000
of convertible note payables that were coming due, we issued an additional
$381,000
convertible promissory notes (each, a
“12
-Month OID Note), with a
25%
original issue discount. The original issue discount totaled
$76,000
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable on our balance sheet. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features resulted in an aggregate fair value of
$381,000
and is recorded as debt extinguishment expense on our statement of operations. The discount will be amortized and recorded to interest expense over the term of the notes. These notes mature
twelve
months from the date of issuance. 
 
Each Twelve-month OID Note is convertible by the investor at any time at
$0.17
per share. This initial conversion price shall be adjusted downward in the event the Company subsequently issues a convertible promissory note at a lower conversion rate (with this lower conversion rate becoming the adjusted conversion rate under the note), or conducts an equity offering at a per-share price less than
$0.17.
The notes earn interest at a rate of
five
percent (
5%
) per annum, due at maturity. The Company
may
prepay the notes only upon
10
days’ notice to the investor, during which time the investor
may
exercise his/her right to convert the note to stock. The Company is obligated to prepay the notes in the event it receives at least
$3.5
million gross proceeds in a financing transaction. At maturity, the Company
may
redeem the notes through the issuance of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of the “conversion price” (initially
$0.17,
as
may
be adjusted), and
70%
of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
trading days preceding the conversion date. 
 
We must prepay the OID Notes upon the conclusion of a “qualifying offering” (an offering raising
$3.5
million or more); in the event a qualified offering is
not
concluded prior to the maturity date, or the Note is otherwise
not
paid in full, the Company shall redeem the notes by issuing the number of shares of common stock equal to the outstanding balance divided by the lower of (i) the then-current conversion price (which is
$0.17
as of the date of this report), and (ii)
seventy
percent (
70%
) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the
25
trading days immediately preceding the conversion.
 
On
October 22, 2019,
a holder of a Twelve-month OID Note elected to convert
$63,000
principal amount and accrued interest into
401,446
shares of common stock.

Vista Capital)
 
On
January 7, 2019,
Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista Capital”) invested
$300,000
and we issued a convertible promissory note (the “Vista
2019
Note”) in the principal amount of
$330,000,
maturing
nine
months from the date of issuance (

The Vista
2019
Note earned a
one
-time interest charge of
12%,
recorded as a discount on convertible notes and will be amortized over the term of the note. The Vista
2019
Note allows Vista Capital to convert the note to our common stock at any time at a price equal to
65%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Vista
2019
Note contains standard provisions of default, and precludes the issuance of shares to the extent that Vista Capital would beneficially own more than
4.99%
of our common stock. We
may
pre-pay the Vista
2019
Note within
90
days of the issuance date by giving
10
business day notice of the intent to pre-pay, and then tendering
120%
of the outstanding balance of the note. Vista Capital has the option to convert the note to common stock during the
10
-day period. The Vista
2019
Note also includes a term that allows Vista Capital to adopt any term of a future financing more favorable than what is provided in the note. For example, these provisions could include a more favorable interest rate, conversion price, or original issue discount. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a fair value totaling
$300,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes on our balance sheet. This discount was amortized over the term of the note as interest expense. On
August 13, 2019,
we and Vista Capital amended the note extending the maturity date to
April 7, 2020 (
see also Note
13,
“Subsequent Events”).
 
With respect to the above transactions with Vista Capital, Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC agreed to waive the provisions of the Purchase Agreement dated

prohibiting variable rate transactions. As consideration for this waiver, we issued to Lincoln Park a warrant to purchase
250,000
shares of our common stock at
$0.25
per share, expiring
five
years from the date of grant. In the event the shares underlying the warrant are
not
registered, the warrant allows the holder to do a “cashless” exercise. (See Note
6.

2017
Unit Offering from
ten
accredited investors and issued convertible promissory notes at
$0.42
a share and stock purchase warrants at

we issued a pricing supplement lowering the unit price to
$0.394.
On
February 12, 2018,
we issued a
third
pricing supplement lowering the unit price to
