Convertible note	$	250	$	—

On April 17, 2017, the Company entered into two 7% convertible notes (the “7% Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $250. The 7% Convertible Notes accrue interest at 7% simple interest on the principal amount and were due on June 2, 2017. The principal may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share. The noteholder may convert the principal amount of the 7% Convertible Notes at any time into common stock. The 7% Convertible Notes contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due under the 7% Convertible Note agreements and bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The Company has the right to prepay the 7% Convertible Notes. The 7% Convertible Notes were not repaid on the maturity date and as such were in default at June 30, 2017.

As additional consideration, the investors received five and a half year warrants to purchase 166,668 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share (collectively the “7% Convertible Note Warrants”). The 7% Convertible Note Warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date. The exercise price of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The 7% Convertible Note Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The Company computed the fair value of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $61 based on the estimated fair value of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants.

The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in the 7% Convertible Notes is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $31. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the 7% Convertible Note and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the 7% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.  The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note. In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $93 based on the relative fair values of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants of $61 and BCF of $32. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $93 was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts. As of June 30, 2017, accrued interest on the 7% Convertible Notes was $4.

Other Convertible Notes Payable 

On April 26, 2017, the Company entered into a 7% convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $104. On June 28, 2017, the noteholder converted the outstanding balance into 189,091 shares of Digital Power’s common stock. The Company did not record any additional interest expense as a result of the extinguishment since the carrying amount of the convertible notes 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.

As additional consideration, the investor received a five-year warrant to purchase 160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date. The exercise price of the 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. The Company computed the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $25 based on the estimated fair value of the warrants.

The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in this convertible note is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $26. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the convertible note and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible note using the effective interest method. The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the convertible note. In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $51 based on the relative fair values of the warrants of $25 and BCF of $26.
