These notes are convertible at our option at maturity.
 
For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2019
we recorded
$832,000
and
$985,000
of interest expense related to the amortization of discounts on convertible notes payable and coupon interest from our convertible notes and line of credit.
 
The following discussion includes debt instruments to which amendments were made or included other activity that management deemed appropriate to disclose. Each of the debt instruments contained in the above table are disclosed more fully in the financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed
March 29, 2019,
as amended.
 
Notes payable, mature
June 6, 2019
 
On
September 19, 2018,
we received
$400,000
and issued promissory notes originally due
January 5, 2019
and incurring interest at an annual rate of
12%,
and stock purchase warrants (see Note
6
), to
two
investors (the
first
held by Vernal Bay Investments, LLC (“Vernal”) in the original principal amount of
$280,000,
and the
second
held by Chappy Bean, LLC (“Chappy Bean”) in the original principal amount of
$120,000
). By letter dated
January 3, 2019,
we notified the holders of the
two
notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$400,000
of our election to extend the maturity date of the notes by
60
days, to
March 6, 2019.
As provided in the notes, our election to extend increased the principal amount of each note by
10%,
such that the aggregate principal balance of the
two
notes increased to
$440,000
as of
January 5, 2019.
 
On
March 5, 2019,
we executed amendments to these
two
notes that (i) extended the maturity dates to
June 6, 2019,
and (ii) provide that we
may
further extend the maturity dates to
September 6, 2019
by giving written notice of such extension and increasing the principal due on the notes at that time by
10%.
As consideration of the extension of the maturity dates reflected in the
March 5, 2019
amendments, we (i) increased the annual percentage rate of interest from
12%
to
18%,
effective as of
March 7, 2019,
and (ii) lowered the exercise price, and increased the number of shares available, on warrants that had been previously issued to the
two
investors (at the time of their original investment).
 
Convertible note payable, matures
January 11, 2019 (
Triton)
 
On
October 16, 2018,
we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Triton Purchase Agreement”) with Triton Fund, LP (“Triton”) for a
$225,000
bridge loan, and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of
$300,000
(the “Triton Note”). The Triton Note incurred interest at an annual rate of
5%,
and was scheduled to mature
January 11, 2019.
The
$75,000
original issue discount was recorded as a discount on our convertible note and was amortized to interest expense in the
three
-month ended
March 31, 2019.
 
On
January 8, 2019,
we paid the Triton Note in full.
 
Convertible Note, matures
July 15, 2019 (
Vista Capital)
 
On
January 7, 2019,
we and Vista Capital agreed to amend the convertible promissory note originally issued
December 14, 2017 (
“Vista
2017
Note”) and extend its maturity date to
April 15, 2019.
The principal amount of the note was increased to
$605,100.
The note will continue to earn interest at the rate of
five
percent per annum. The amendment re-defined the conversion price to equal
80%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The amendment also reduced the prepayment penalty from
20%
to
15%,
such that a prepayment requires the payment of an additional
15%
of the then outstanding balance, and reduced the penalty for a default from
30%
to
25%
of the outstanding balance.   The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a fair value totaling
$487,000,
all of which was recorded as interest expense during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019.
 
On
March 28, 2019,
we and Vista agreed to further extend the maturity date of the Vista
2017
Note, to
July 15, 2019.
In consideration for the extension, we agreed to increase the principal balance of the note by
10
percent, to
$420,000.
The increase in principal totaling
$38,000
was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment during on our statement of operations for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019.
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019,
Vista Capital elected to convert
$225,000
of the outstanding principal and interest of the Vista
2017
Note and we issued
1,679,248
shares of our common stock. Of that amount,
1,638,479
shares were issued as payment of principal, and
40,769
shares as payment of interest. As of
March 31, 2019,
the outstanding balance on the Vista Note totaled
$420,000.
 
Convertible Note, matures
October 7, 2019 (
Vista Capital)
 
On
January 7, 2019,
Vista Capital invested an additional
$300,000
and we issued a convertible promissory note (the “Vista
2019
Note”) in the principal amount of
$330,000,
maturing
nine
months from the date of issuance (
October 7, 2019).
The Vista
2019
Note earned a
one
-time interest charge of
12%,
recorded as a discount on convertible notes and will be amortized over the term of the note. The Vista
2019
Note allows Vista Capital to convert the note to our common stock at any time at a price equal to
65%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Vista
2019
Note contains standard provisions of default, and precludes the issuance of shares to the extent that Vista Capital would beneficially own more than
4.99%
of our common stock. We
may
pre-pay the Vista
2019
Note within
90
days of the issuance date by giving
10
business day notice of the intent to pre-pay, and then tendering
120%
of the outstanding balance of the note. Vista Capital has the option to convert the note to common stock during the
10
-day period. The Vista
2019
Note also includes a term that allows Vista Capital to adopt any term of a future financing more favorable than what is provided in the note. For example, these provisions could include a more favorable interest rate, conversion price, or original issue discount. The Vista
2019
Note also requires that we include the shares underlying conversion of the note on the next registration statement we file with the SEC (but
not
the registration statement filed
November 6, 2018).
The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a fair value totaling
$300,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes on our balance sheet. This discount will be amortized over the term of the note as interest expense, all of which will be recorded in
2019.
 
With respect to the above transactions with Vista Capital, Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC agreed to waive the provisions of the Purchase Agreement dated
August 25, 2017,
prohibiting variable rate transactions. As consideration for this waiver, we issued to Lincoln Park a warrant to purchase
250,000
shares of our common stock at
$0.25
per share, expiring
five
years from the date of grant. In the event the shares underlying the warrant are
not
registered, the warrant allows the holder to do a “cashless” exercise. (See Note
6
).
 
Convertible Notes, due
November 5, 2019
and
December 7, 2019 (
Tangiers Global)
 
On
January 31, 2019,
we issued a
12%
Convertible Promissory Note to Tangiers Global, LLC (“Tangiers”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$495,000
(the “Tangiers Note”). The note allows for
two
payments, each due in
nine
months after receipt, and incurs a guaranteed interest of
12%
at inception. - The initial payment of
$300,000
was received on
February 5, 2019,
representing a
$330,000
principal amount and
10%
original issue discount. It is due
November 5, 2019.
We received the
second
payment, in the amount of
$150,000,
on
March 7, 2019,
increasing the principal amount due under the note to
$495,000.
This
second
amount, plus guaranteed interest, is due
December 7, 2019. 
In the aggregate, the principal amount of the note, plus guaranteed interest, totals
$554,000.
 
The Tangiers Note is convertible at the option of Tangiers at a conversion price equal to
75%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the
25
consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulted in a fair value totaling
$185,000,
and is recorded as a discount on convertible notes on our balance sheet. This discount will be amortized over the term of the note as interest expense, all of which will be recorded in
2019.
 
We
may
prepay the Tangiers Note up to
180
days after the effective date. If a prepayment is made within
90
days, we must pay a prepayment penalty of
25%;
from
91
to
180
days, we must pay a prepayment penalty of
30%.
We
may
pay such prepayment penalties, if we so choose, by issuing common stock at the conversion price. If such shares are
not
eligible for removal of restrictions pursuant to a registration statement or Rule
144
within
10
trading days following the
six
-month anniversary of the effective date, Tangiers
may
rescind the stock issuance and force the Company to pay the prepayment penalty in cash. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as such term is defined under the Tangiers Note, additional interest will accrue from the date of the event of default at a rate equal to the lower of
22%
per annum or the highest rate permitted by law, and an additional
25%
shall be added to the principal amount of the note.
 
In connection with the Tangiers Note, the Company caused its transfer agent to reserve
3,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, in the event that the Tangiers Note is converted.
 
With respect to the above transaction with Tangiers, Lincoln Park consented to waive the provisions of the Purchase Agreement dated
August 25, 2017
prohibiting variable rate transactions. As consideration for the consent, we agreed to issue Lincoln Park a stock purchase warrant allowing for the purchase of
50,000
shares of our common stock at
$0.25
per share, expiring
five
years from the date of grant. In the event the shares underlying the warrant are
not
registered, the warrant allows the holder to do a “cashless” exercise. (See Note
6
).
 
Nine-month Notes payable
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019,
we issued convertible promissory notes (each, an “OID Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$212,500,
with a
25%
original issue discount. These notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of
$0.25
per share, and mature
nine
months from the date of issuance. On
January 14, 2019,
we received
$50,000
and issued an OID Note in the principal amount of
$62,500.
On
January 22, 2019,
we received
$20,000
and issued an OID Note in the principal amount of
$25,000.
On
February 4, 2019,
we received
$100,000
and issued an OID Note in the principal amount of
$125,000.
The original issuance discount totaled
$42,500,
recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable on our balance sheet. The discount will be amortized and recorded to interest expense over the term of the notes.
 
Each OID Note is convertible by the investor at any time at
$0.25
per share. This initial conversion price shall be adjusted downward in the event the Company subsequently issues a convertible promissory note at a lower conversion rate (with this lower conversion rate becoming the adjusted conversion rate under the OID Note), or conducts an equity offering at a per-share price less than
$0.25.
The Note earns interest at
five
percent (
5%
) per annum, due at maturity. The Company
may
prepay an OID Note only upon
10
days’ notice to the investor, during which time the investor
may
exercise his/her right to convert the note to stock.
 
The Company must prepay the OID Notes upon the conclusion of a “qualifying offering” (an offering raising
$3.5
million or more); in the event a qualified offering is
not
concluded prior to the maturity date, or the Note is otherwise
not
paid in full, the Company shall redeem the notes by issuing the number of shares of common stock equal to the outstanding balance divided by the lower of (i) the current conversion price and (ii)
seventy
percent (
70%
) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the
25
trading days immediately preceding the conversion.
 
In addition to the note, each OID investor will receive a warrant to purchase common stock for
$0.25
per share, expiring
5
years from the date of issuance (the “Warrant”). The number of shares purchasable under the warrant is equal to the
75%
of the principal balance of the note divided by
$0.25
(thus, a
$100,000
investment would yield a note with principal balance of
$125,000,
and a warrant allowing for the purchase of up to
375,000
shares). The warrant will allow for cashless exercise so long as the shares underlying the warrant are
not
registered. The Company does
not
have the obligation to register the shares underlying the warrant (or the OID Notes). (See Note
6
).
