CONVERTIBLE NOTES [Abstract]

CONVERTIBLE NOTES

NOTE D - CONVERTIBLE NOTES:

On March 3, 2017, the Company completed a registered shareholder rights offering of its 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (“Notes”).  Shareholders exercised subscription rights to purchase all 30,000 of the Notes at the par value of $100 per Note, resulting in gross offering proceeds to the Company of $3.0 million.

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum on the principal or par value of $100 per note, payable annually in arrears on February 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2018.  Interest is payable in cash or, at the Company’s discretion, in shares of Company common stock.  The Notes mature on February 15, 2022, at which time all principal and unpaid interest will be payable in cash or, at the Company’s discretion, in shares of Company common stock.  The Notes are secured by a pledge of all outstanding equity securities of our two primary direct operating subsidiaries.

Noteholders may convert their Notes to common stock as of the 15^th day of any calendar month, unless the Company sooner elects to redeem the Notes.  The conversion price is $2.00 per share of common stock.  Accrued interest will be paid through the effective date of the conversion in cash or, at the Company’s sole discretion, in shares of Company common stock.

The Company determined that the Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature of $0.1 million since the market price of the Company’s common stock was higher than the effective conversion price of the Notes when issued.  The beneficial conversion feature and the issuance costs of the notes aggregated $0.2 million and were considered a debt discount and are accreted into interest expense using the effective interest method over the debt maturity period.

During fiscal 2020, $64 thousand of the Notes were converted to common shares.  As of June 28, 2020, $1.6 million of the Notes was outstanding, offset by $48 thousand of unamortized debt issue costs and unamortized debt discounts.
