months ended
March 31, 2018.
 
FirstFire Global Opportunity Fund Investment (matures
October 16, 2018)
 
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 convertible promissory note (the “FirstFire Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$150,000
at
5%
annual interest, which is 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. FirstFire
may
convert the FirstFire Note at any time. The Company
may
require the conversion of the FirstFire Note in the event the Company’s common stock has traded at a price per share of
$0.75
or above for the
ten
trading days immediately preceding the mandatory conversion, and the shares underlying the conversion are subject to an effective registration statement filed with the SEC. The FirstFire Note matures on
October 16, 2018.
 
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
$29,250
is recorded as a discount on convertible notes and will amortize to interest expense over the term of the note.
 
Under the Note and FirstFire Purchase Agreement, the Company has reserved
394,949
shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Note. Pursuant to the FirstFire RRA, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering all shares of common stock into which the FirstFire Note is convertible, and the FirstFire Commitment Shares. The FirstFire Purchase Agreement allows for an adjustment to the number of FirstFire Commitment Shares in the event the closing price of our common stock, on the earlier of the date the registration statement is deemed effective and
20
trading days following the
six
-month anniversary of the FirstFire Note, is lower than the closing price on
January 16, 2018 (
which was
$0.39
). In such event, additional shares would be issued to FirstFire such that the aggregate FirstFire Commitment Shares issued have the same value as the shares issued on
January 16, 2018.
 
Pursuant to the requirements set forth in the registration rights agreements, we filed a registration statement with the SEC which was deemed effective as of
February 8, 2018.
On
February 8, 2018,
our common stock last traded at
$0.3147
per share. Because the last traded price of our common stock on the date the registration statement was deemed effective was less than the price of our common stock on the dates of the FirstFire Purchase Agreements, at their option, we are required to issue additional “commitment shares”. FirstFire exercised that right, and we issued
36,536
additional shares of our common stock and
$11,498
is recorded as additional discount on convertible notes and will amortize to interest expense over the term of the note. 
 
FirstFire represented to the Company, among other things, that it was an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule
501
(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of
1933,
as amended). The FirstFire Note, FirstFire Purchase Agreement, and the FirstFire RRA contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions including indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. 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.
 
Line of credit, matures
September 1, 2019
 
On
March 1, 2018,
we received
$390,000
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, and, at the option of the holder, payable in either (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 investor, for
no
additional consideration, received a warrant to purchase our common stock. (See Note
7
). 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).
 
Two-Year Convertible Note, matures
July 20, 2019
 
On
July 20, 2017,
the Company accepted
$400,000
and issued a promissory note with a
10%
original issue discount in the principal amount of
$440,000,
matures
July 20, 2019
and accrues interest at
12%.
The note originally provided that interest was to be paid quarterly beginning
October 1, 2017,
in either cash, common stock, or an option to purchase common stock, in the holder’s discretion.  On
January 25, 2018,
the interest provisions in the note were modified such that the
12%
annual simple interest is due at maturity.
 
At maturity, the principal amount of the note and any accrued and unpaid interest automatically converts, at the holder’s option, into either BioLargo common shares at
$0.42
per share,
2,000
shares of Clyra Medical Technologies common stock held by BioLargo, or any combination thereof. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a
$171,429
recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as a discount on convertible notes payable, net of current portion. The discount will be amortized monthly as interest expense through
July 20, 2019.
 
Note payable, matures
March 8, 2020
 
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. The demand
may
not
be made before
June 30, 2018,
and in the absence of the demand, the maturity date is
March 8, 2023.
In lieu of interest, we issued the note holder a warrant to purchase
150,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.35.
The warrant expires
February 28, 2023.
The shares available for purchase vest in increments of
6,250
shares per month. (See Note
7.
)
 
Convertible Notes, mature
June 20, 2020 (
Summer
2017
Unit Offering)
 
On
May 24, 2017,
we commenced a private securities offering (titled the “Summer
2017
Unit Offering”) which offered the sale of
$1,500,000
of “Units,” each Unit consisting of a convertible promissory note and stock purchase warrant. Concurrently, we issued Pricing Supplement
No.
1
setting the initial unit/conversion price at
$0.42
per share, and the initial warrant exercise price at
$0.65
per share. The promissory notes issued to investors mature
June 20, 2020,
and bear interest at the rate of
12%
per annum on the amount invested. Any interest due will be paid quarterly in arrears in cash or shares of common stock. If paid by the issuance of common stock, interest is 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 principal amount of the note
may
be paid by the issuance of shares of common stock, or cash, upon maturity at the Company’s election. Promissory notes
may
be converted at any time by the investor, at maturity by the Company, or by the Company prior to maturity, so long as the following conditions are met: (i) the Shares issued as payment are registered with the SEC; and (ii) the Company’s common stock closes for
ten
consecutive trading days at or above
three
times the Unit price.
 
In addition to the convertible promissory note, each investor received a warrant allowing for the purchase of the number of shares of BioLargo common stock equal to the investment amount divided by the unit/conversion price (e.g.,
one
warrant share for each share of common stock which the investor is eligible to receive through conversion of the note). (See Note
7.
) The warrants expire on
June 20, 2022. 
The Company
may
“call” the warrants, requiring the investor to exercise their warrants within
30
days or forever lose the rights to do so, only if the following conditions have been met: (i) the underlying Shares are registered with the SEC and (ii) the Company’s common stock closes for
10
consecutive trading days at or above
two
times the exercise price.
 
Through
December 31, 2017,
we had received
$523,700
in investments in the Summer
2017
Unit Offering, from
ten
accredited investors, all pursuant to Pricing Supplement
No.
1.
No
investments were received pursuant to a
second
pricing supplement issued on
December 11, 2017,
setting the unit price at
$0.394
per share. On
February 22, 2018,
we issued Pricing Supplement
No.
3,
setting the Unit price to
$0.30
and the warrant exercise price at
$0.48.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
we received
$80,000
in investments from
two
accredited investors pursuant to this
third
pricing supplement. The offering was terminated at the conclusion of processing these
two
investments.
 
The offering documents assured the investors that in the event a subsequent pricing supplement offered a lower conversion or exercise price, prior investors would be given those favorable terms. Because we issued a
third
pricing supplement lowering the Unit price to
$0.30
per share, the unit price for the prior investors was lowered to
$0.30.
As a result, the number of warrant shares available for purchase by each investor increased. (See Note
7.
)
 
Subsequent to
March 31, 2018,
holders of
$478,700
of Summer
2017
Offering notes elected to accept the Company’s offer of incentive shares to convert these notes prior to maturity (see Note
12
).
 
Convertible Notes, mature
April 20, 2021 (
Spring
2018
Unit Offering)
 
On
March 1, 2018,
we commenced a private securities offering (titled the “Spring
2018
Unit Offering”) which offered the sale of
$1,500,000
of “Units,” each Unit consisting of a convertible promissory note and stock purchase warrant. Concurrently, we issued Pricing Supplement
No.
1
setting the initial unit/conversion price at
$0.30
per share, and the initial warrant exercise price at
$0.48
per share. The promissory notes issued to investors mature
April 20, 2021,
and bear interest at the rate of
12%
per annum on the amount invested. Any interest due will be paid quarterly in arrears in cash or shares of common stock. If paid by the issuance of common stock, interest is 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 principal amount of the note
may
be paid by the issuance of shares of common stock, or cash, upon maturity at the Company’s election. Promissory notes
may
be converted at any time by the investor, at maturity by the Company, or by the Company prior to maturity, so long as the following conditions are met: (i) the Shares issued as payment are registered with the SEC; and (ii) the Company’s common stock closes for
ten
consecutive trading days at or above
three
times the Unit price.
 
In addition to the convertible promissory note, each investor will receive a warrant allowing for the purchase of the number of shares of BioLargo common stock equal to the investment amount divided by the unit/conversion price (e.g.,
one
warrant share for each share of common stock which the investor is eligible to receive through conversion of the note). (See Note
7.
)  
 
Through
March 31, 2018,
we had received
one
investment for
$100,000
in this offering, and issued a warrant to purchase
333,333
shares. This investment was received from an entity owned/controlled by a member of our board of directors.
