Lines of Credit

 

In March 2013, the Company and Neal Goldman, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Goldman”), entered into a line of credit (the “Goldman Line of Credit”) with available borrowings of up to $2.5 million. In March 2014, the Goldman Line of Credit’s borrowing was increased to an aggregate total of $3.5 million (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amendment, Goldman had the right to convert up to $2.5 million of the outstanding balance of the Goldman Line of Credit into shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $0.95 per share. Any remaining outstanding balance was convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $2.25 per share.

 

As consideration for the initial Goldman Line of Credit, the Company issued a warrant to Goldman, exercisable for 1,052,632 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Line of Credit Warrant”). The Line of Credit Warrant had a term of two years from the date of issuance and an exercise price of $0.95 per share. As consideration for entering into the Amendment, the Company issued to Goldman a second warrant, exercisable for 177,778 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Amendment Warrant”). The Amendment Warrant expired on March 27, 2015 and had an exercise price of $2.25 per share.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the Line of Credit Warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: term of two years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.58%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 79%. The Company recorded the fair value of the Line of Credit Warrant as a deferred financing fee of approximately $580,000 to be amortized over the life of the Goldman Line of Credit. The Company estimated the fair value of the Amendment Warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: term of one year, a risk-free interest rate of 2.58%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 74%. The Company recorded the fair value of the Amendment Warrant as an additional deferred financing fee of approximately $127,000 to be amortized over the life of the Goldman Line of Credit.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded an aggregate of approximately $8,000 and $11,000, respectively in deferred financing fee amortization expense which is recorded as a component of interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

In April 2014, the Company and Goldman entered into a further amendment to the Goldman Line of Credit to decrease the available borrowings to $3.0 million (the “Second Amendment”). Contemporaneous with the execution of the Second Amendment, the Company entered into a new unsecured line of credit with Charles Crocker, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Crocker”), with available borrowings of up to $500,000 (the “Crocker LOC”), which amount was convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $2.25 per share. As a result of these amendments, total available borrowings under the lines of credit available to the Company remained unchanged an aggregate of $3.5 million. In connection with the Second Amendment, Goldman assigned and transferred to Crocker one-half of the Amendment Warrant.

 

In December 2014, the Company and Goldman entered into a further amendment to the Goldman Line of Credit to increase the available borrowing to $5.0 million and extend the maturity date of the Goldman Line of Credit to March 27, 2017 (the “Third Amendment”). Also, as a result of the Third Amendment, Goldman had the right to convert up to $2.5 million of outstanding principal, plus any accrued but unpaid interest (“Outstanding Balance”) into shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $0.95 per share, the next $500,000 Outstanding Balance into shares of Common Stock for $2.25 per share, and any remaining outstanding balance thereafter into shares of Common Stock for $2.30 per share. The Third Amendment also modified the definition of a “Qualified Financing” to mean a debt or equity financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5.0 million.

 

In February 2015, as a result of the Series E Financing, the Company issued 1,978 shares of Series E Preferred to Goldman to satisfy $1,950,000 in principal borrowings under the Goldman Line of Credit, plus approximately $28,000 in accrued interest. As a result of the Series E Financing, the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Goldman Line of Credit was reduced to $3,050,000 with the maturity date unchanged and the Crocker LOC was terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

In March 2016, the Company and Goldman entered into a fourth amendment to the Goldman Line of Credit (the “Fourth Amendment”) solely to (i) increase available borrowings to $5.0 million; (ii) extend the maturity date to June 30, 2017, and (iii) provide for the conversion of the outstanding balance due under the terms of the Goldman Line of Credit into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding balance by $1.25.

 

Contemporaneous with the execution of the Fourth Amendment, the Company entered into a new $500,000 line of credit with Crocker (the “New Crocker LOC”) with available borrowings of up to $500,000, which replaced the original Crocker LOC that terminated as a result of the consummation of the Series E Financing. Similar to the Fourth Amendment, the New Crocker LOC originally matured on June 30, 2017, and provided for the conversion of the outstanding balance due under the terms of the New Crocker LOC into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding balance by $1.25.

  

On December 27, 2016, in connection with the consummation of the Series G Financing, the Company and Goldman agreed to enter into the Fifth Amendment (the “Line of Credit Amendment”) to the Goldman Line of Credit to provide the Company with the ability to borrow up to $5.5 million under the terms of the Goldman Line of Credit. In addition, the Maturity Date, as defined in the Goldman Line of Credit, was amended to be December 31, 2017. The Line of Credit Amendment was executed on January 23, 2017.

 

In addition, on January 23, 2017, the Company and Crocker amended the New Crocker LOC to extend the maturity date thereof to December 31, 2017.

 

On May 10, 2017, Goldman and Crocker agreed to further extend the maturity dates of the Goldman Line of Credit and the New Crocker Line of Credit (collectively, the “Lines of Credit”) to December 31, 2018.

 

As the aforementioned amendments to the Lines of Credit resulted in an increase to the borrowing capacity of the Lines of Credit, the Company adjusted the amortization period of any remaining unamortized deferred costs and note discounts to the term of the new arrangement.

  

The Company evaluated the Lines of Credit and determined that the instruments contained a contingent beneficial conversion feature, i.e. an embedded conversion right that enabled the holder to obtain the underlying Common Stock at a price below market value. The beneficial conversion feature was contingent, as the terms of the conversion did not permit the Company to compute the number of shares that the holder would receive if the contingent event occurred (i.e. future borrowings under the Line of Credit). The Company has considered the accounting for this contingent beneficial conversion feature using the guidance in ASC 470, Debt. The guidance in ASC 470 states that a contingent beneficial conversion feature in an instrument shall not be recognized in earnings until the contingency is resolved. The beneficial conversion features of borrowings under the Line of Credit were to be measured using the intrinsic value calculated at the date the contingency is resolved using the conversion price and trading value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date the Lines of Credit were issued (commitment date).

 

  For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded approximately $30,000 and $302,000, respectively, in debt discount attributable to beneficial conversion feature and accreted approximately $162,000 and $198,000, respectively, of debt discount. Such expense is recorded as a component of interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

   

The Company incurred no additional borrowings under the Lines of Credit during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

On September 10, 2018, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreements with Goldman and Crocker, pursuant to which Goldman and Crocker agreed to exchange approximately $6.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of outstanding debt (including accrued and unpaid interest) owed under the terms of their respective Lines of Credit for an aggregate of 6,896 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred. As a result of the Debt Exchange, all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations arising under the Lines of Credit were terminated, cancelled and deemed satisfied in full. As a result, no future borrowings are available under the Lines of Credit and the Lines of Credit were terminated on September 10, 2018. Because Messrs. Goldman and Crocker are members of the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company, they are considered related parties and the Debt Exchange transaction is considered a capital transaction and is recorded within the equity accounts of the Company.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s activity under its Lines of Credit for the periods indicated:
