Convertible Debt and Derivative Liability [Text Block]
NOTE
6
– CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
 
Effective
September 28, 2018,
the Company issued convertible secured promissory notes to
two
private investors in the original principal amount of an aggregate
$2,297,727
(the “bridge loan”). The Company has loaned
one
-half of the net proceeds to Helomics. The Company and Helomics have granted to each of the investors a security interest in their assets to secure repayment of the bridge loan. The securities purchase agreements with the investors also provided for a
second
investment of an aggregate of
$500,000
by the investors at the consummation of the Merger transaction with Helomics; however, the investors and the Company have agreed that the investors will
not
make the
second
investment. As additional consideration for the investment, the Company issued an aggregate
650,000
shares of its common stock (the “Inducement Shares”) to the investors or their affiliates plus warrants to acquire up to an aggregate
1,071,776
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$1.155
per share. Each warrant is exercisable by the investor beginning on the
six
-month anniversary of the effective date through the
fifth
-year anniversary thereof.
 
The bridge loan accrues interest at a rate of
8%
per annum (with
twelve
months of interest guaranteed). The bridge loan is due on
September 28, 2019.
Upon the earlier to occur of an event of default or the filing of certain registration statements, each investor will have the right at any time thereafter to convert all or any part of its bridge loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price which is equal to the lesser of: (i)
$1.00
and (ii)
70%
of the lowest volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock during the
20
-trading day period ending on either the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date, or the conversion date (“Conversion Shares”). The number of Conversion Shares that
may
be issued is subject to an exchange cap such that the sum of (a) the total number of Conversion Shares plus (b) the number of Inducement Shares is limited to an aggregate
2,678,328
shares.
 
Management has concluded the conversion feature is an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated and separately presented as a liability on the balance sheet. The embedded derivative’s value was determined using
70%
of the VWAP for the
20
trading days preceding the balance sheet date, and assuming conversion on that date as management believed it is probable that the bridge loan will be convertible based on management’s expectation that additional financing will be required. The derivative liability initially recorded in
September 2018
was
$645,008.
The Company has recognized changes in the fair value of the derivative as unrealized gains and losses. The Company recognized an unrealized loss for the corresponding change in fair value of
$19,408
for the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2019.
The fair value of the derivative liability as of
March 31, 2019
was
$292,153.
 
The Company accounted for the warrants by deriving the Black-Scholes value ascertained with a discount rate of
2.94%
over
five
years with a
59%
volatility rate and a calculated value per warrant of
.5361
resulting in a fair value of
$574,631.
Management concluded that the warrants and Inducement Shares qualify for equity classification. The proceeds from the bridge loan were allocated between the convertible note, warrants, and inducement shares based on the relative fair value of the individual elements.
 
Effective
February 7, 2019,
the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with each of the bridge loan investors pursuant to which, among other things, the investors agreed to forbear on their rights to accelerate the bridge loan based on an event of default and a claimed event of default. In connection with such forbearance, the Company issued Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Notes that replaced the original agreement and, among other things, increased the aggregate principal amount of its indebtedness to the investors by
$344,659
to a balance of
$2,642,387.
Additionally, the investors received
166,667
inducement shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.01
per share, valued at
$158,350,
increasing common stock and additional paid-in capital.
 
In
March 2019,
one
of the bridge loan investors twice converted a portion of the principal balance of the note. The investor converted
$90,000
from the principal balance and received
159,854
shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, pursuant to the bridge loan agreement, as a result of the
two
public offerings a portion of the principal balance was reduced by
$93,826.
 
The value of the embedded derivative from the bridge loan as well as the derivative included in the note payable agreements with the Company’s CEO (See – Note
9
) were based upon level
3
inputs – see the Fair Value Caption in Note
1.
