NOTES PAYABLE | 4. NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consist of the following: June 30, December 31, 2014 (in thousands) Convertible notes payable with a bifurcated conversion option 3,039 2,943 Related party and Officer notes 1,066 169 Other notes payable 176 185 Discount on notes payable (453 ) (531 ) 3,828 2,766 Less current portion (3,828 ) (2,480 ) Non-current notes payable - 286 Convertible Notes with a Bifurcated Conversion Option During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $711,550, and received net proceeds of $653,598. These notes are generally due one year after the date of issuance, bear interest at rates of 1% to 12% per annum, and are convertible into shares of common stock at 57% to 61% of the market price of the Company’s common stock based on the low end of the trading range of the common stock during the 10 to 30 days prior to conversion, depending on the specific note being converted. With respect to the foregoing notes, in the event the Company were to issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of common stock for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) that is less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the conversion price then in effect is reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. In connection with the issuance of one of the foregoing notes, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 50 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $210 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and stock combinations (the “March 2015 Warrant”). The March 2015 Warrant is exercisable at any time until three years after the date of issuance. The terms of the warrant provides for a proportional downward adjustment of the exercise price in the event that the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, shares of common stock at an issuance price that is less than the market price of the common stock at the time of issuance, as defined in the warrant agreement. The Company determined that the fair value of the March 2015 Warrant was de minimus at the date of issuance and at June 30, 2015. During the six months ending June 30, 2015, $576,797 of previously issued convertible notes, along with $10,375 of accrued interest, were converted into 281,908 shares of the Company’s common stock, and $28,800 of convertible notes were repaid in accordance with their terms. In connection with the notes converted, $152,000 of the bifurcated option liability was reclassified into additional paid-in capital. Also during the six months ending June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with one of its convertible noteholders which reduced the outstanding principal balance on their notes by $9,375, which was recorded as a gain on the settlement of debt and is reflected in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance on these convertible notes was $3,039,970. The Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2015 with SEC, as well as its failure to repay approximately $1.6 million of convertible notes that had reached their maturity date, constitute events of default under the terms of the convertible notes. As more fully described in note 12, on October 19, 2015, the Company received a default notice from its senior lender, acting in its capacity as collateral agent representing approximately $2.2 million of senior convertible notes with first priority security interests on the Company’s assets, demanding repayment of these notes. The Company did not have the financial resources to repay this indebtedness. In conjunction with the default notice, the Company received a Notification of Disposition of Collateral, advising the Company that the senior lender intended to sell, lease or license the assets securing the senior convertible notes at a public auction. The auction took place on November 4, 2015 and the senior lender received proceeds of $1.0 million, which was credited against the Company’s outstanding balance of convertible notes. The remaining outstanding convertible notes currently accrue default interest at rates ranging from of 18% to 22% per annum, and the holders of the notes retain their right to convert the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms of the notes. Related Party Notes Payable On January 23, 2015, the Company borrowed $45,000 from Scott Silverman, as evidenced by a promissory note (the “2015 Silverman Note”). The 2015 Silverman Note was payable on demand, and bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum. Between January 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the 2015 Silverman Note was repaid in its entirety, and Mr. Silverman agreed to forgo receiving interest on the note. During the six months ending June 30, 2015, the Company also received $21,100 of short-term advances from Mr. Silverman, net of repayments, which remain outstanding as of June 30, 2015. These short-term advances do not bear interest and are repayable to Mr. Silverman on demand. As discussed in note 3, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, four of the Company’s executive officers entered into agreements with the Company whereby certain amounts of accrued but unpaid compensation that each individual was entitled to receive would be paid in the form of Officer Notes, and the Company issued an aggregate of $913,519 of Officer Notes in satisfaction of the accrued liabilities. In addition, Mr. Geissler and Mr. Krawitz agreed to have their previously issued and outstanding demand notes due from the Company, in the principal amounts of $34,000 and $60,000, respectively, converted into separate Officer Notes. The Officer Notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with principal and interest due on March 1, 2016. The Company has the option to prepay the Officer Notes, in whole or in part, and without premium or penalty, at any time upon 5 business days’ written notice to the holder. At any time after September 1, 2015, the holder of an Officer Note can convert all or part of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the average daily closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 days prior to conversion. On April 16, 2014 and May 1, 2014, the Company issued promissory notes to Ned L. Siegel in the principal amount of $30,000 and $20,000, respectively (collectively, the “Siegel Notes”), with interest accruing at a rate of 9% per annum and with principal and interest due on these notes one year after their date of issuance. Mr. Siegel was appointed a director of the Company on June 17, 2014, and resigned from the Company’s board of directors on January 28, 2015. On February 27, 2015, the Siegel Notes were amended to (i) extend the maturity date to March 1, 2016, and (ii) reduce the per share conversion price from $350 to 60% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. During the six months ending June 30, 2015, $37,924 of related party notes, along with $1,483 of accrued interest, were converted into 26,720 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2015 there were $1,065,695 of related party notes outstanding. Other Notes Payable Other notes payable as of December 31, 2014 consisted of a note payable to PositiveID Corporation (“PSID”) in the principal amount of approximately $115,000 (the “PSID Note”) which is to be repaid through the issuance of a de minimus number of shares of the Company’s stock, and other promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $70,625 that are generally convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $350 per share. For some of these notes, the Company may, at its sole option, elect to convert the note into common stock at a conversion price that is equal to 60% of the market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined in the notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, $9,400 of these notes, plus $1,537 of accrued interest, was converted into 10 shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2015, the total of all of the Company’s outstanding promissory notes was convertible into an aggregate of 7,345,527 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which is primarily related to the amortization of debt discounts. |
