In August 2016, Microphase received a $300 loan pursuant to the State of Connecticut Small Business Express Job Creation Incentive Program which is administered through the Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) (the “DECD Note”). The DECD Note bears interest at a rate of 3% per annum and is due in August 2026. Payment of principal and interest is deferred during the initial year and commencing on the thirteenth month, payable in equal monthly installments over the remaining term. During the period June 3, 2017 to June 30, 2017, Microphase did not incur any interest on the DECD Note. In conjunction with the DECD Note, Microphase was awarded a Small Business Express Matching Grant of $100. State grant funding requires a dollar for dollar match on behalf of Microphase.

Between May 5, 2017 and June 30, 2017, Digital Power received additional short-term loans of $140 from four accredited investors, of which $75 was from the Company’s corporate counsel, a related party. As additional consideration, the investors received five-year warrants to purchase 224,371 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.77 per share. The warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date and are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The exercise price of these warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $95 based on the estimated fair value of these warrants. The Company computed the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result of the short-term feature of these loans and advances, the debt discount was amortized as non-cash interest expense upon issuance of the warrants using the effective interest method.

During June 2017, the holders of $55 of these short-term loans agreed to cancel their notes for the purchase of 100,001 shares of Digital Power’s common stock and a price of $0.55 per share. An additional $52 in short-term loans from the Company’s corporate counsel was converted into one of the Series C Units. The Company did not record any additional interest expense as a result of the extinguishment of $107 in short-term loans since the carrying amount of the short-term loans was equivalent to the fair value of the consideration transferred, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s equity securities on the date of extinguishment.

The Feb. 2017 Warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date and are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The exercise price of the Feb. 2017 Warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events.
