January and February 2018

 

In January and February 2018, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to Crossover Capital Fund II, LLC (“Crossover”) totaling (i) 833,332 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”); (ii) 3,000,000 redeemable shares (the “Redeemable Shares”), (iii) $294,000 aggregate principal amount of a convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) and (iv) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) for aggregate consideration of $250,000 cash which was issued at a $44,000 original issue discount from the face value of the Note.  

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes mature on October 3, 2018 and November 16, 2018, respectively, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Convertible Notes. At any time after 180 days from the issue date, the holder, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of the Convertible Notes is $0.08 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. There is also a one-time interest charge of 10% due at maturity.

 

If the Convertible Notes are prepaid on or prior to the maturity dates, all of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the treasury shares of the Company, without any payment by the Company for the Redeemable Shares. Further, if the Company prepays a portion of the Convertible Notes, but not the entire Convertible Notes, on or before the maturity dates, a pro rata portion of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the Company’s treasury in proportion to the prepayment amount as it relates to the entire Convertible Notes balance. On the 180th day, the embedded conversion feature will be a derivative and recorded as interest expense.

 

The exercise price for the Warrants is $0.15, subject to adjustment, are exercisable for five years after the date of the Warrants and are exercisable in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

Purchaser Conversion

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes purchaser has the right at any time after 180 days after the issue date until the outstanding balance of the Note has been paid in full, to convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company divided by the January and February 2018 Convertible Notes purchaser conversion price of $0.08, subject to potential future adjustments. If the total outstanding balance of the November 2017 Note were convertible as of March 31, 2018, the November 2017 Note would have been convertible into 3,675,000 shares of our common stock. No derivative liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2018, as conversion was contingent. On the 180th day, the embedded conversion feature will be a derivative and recorded as interest expense.

 

Interest

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes provide a one-time interest charge of 10% due at maturity totaling $29,400 that has been accrued within other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest was recorded as a debt discount to be accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Redeemable Shares

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes provide for a total of 3,000,000 redeemable common shares, valued totaling $450,000 and $103,560 based on the fair value and the relative fair value of each issuance, respectively. The relative fair value of the redeemable shares was recorded as a debt discount to be accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. Although the contingency has not lapsed, the Company recorded the redeemable shares as issued at their relative fair value to debt discount as it is remote that the notes will be repaid prior to maturity and the shares returned to the Company.

 

Common Stock

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes purchasers were issued a total of 833,332 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $125,000 and $28,767 based on the fair value and relative fair value of the stock on the date of grant, respectively.

 

Warrants

 

The Company calculates the fair value of the Warrants at $95,324 and $65,292 at January 3, 2018 and February 16, 2018, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The Black-Scholes option-pricing method requires the use of subjective assumptions, including stock price volatility, the expected life of stock options, risk free interest rate and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing method is set forth below:

 

    January 3, 2018     February 16, 2018  
Common stock price   $ 0.17     $ 0.13  
Term     5 years       5 years  
Strike price   $ 0.15     $ 0.15  
Dividend yield     0       0  
Risk free rate     2.25     2.63
Volatility     62.5 %     62.5 %

 

Dividend yield. The Company bases the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends on the Company’s common stock.

 

Volatility. The expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on volatilities of the guideline public companies that are comparable to Reign Sapphire.

 

Risk-free interest rate. We based the risk-free interest rate assumption on the observed Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rate for a five-year obligation.

 

Expected term of options. The contractual life of warrants represents the period of time that warrants are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historic exercise behavior, the Company determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual term of the warrant and its ordinary vesting period.

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the January and February 2018 Convertible Notes with warrants that require equity treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on relative fair values, as follows: original issue discount of $44,000, interest of $29,400, $28,767 to the common shares issued, $36,739 to the warrants granted, and $103,560 to the redeemable shares, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $242,466. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

    January 3, 2018     February 16, 2018  
    Fair value     Relative fair value     Fair value     Relative fair value  
Warrant   $ 95,324     $ 19,784     $ 65,292     $ 16,955  
Common sock   $ 70,833     $ 14,701     $ 54,167     $ 14,066  
Redeemable shares   $ 255,000     $ 52,923     $ 195,000     $ 50,637  
Remaining note value   $ 110,300     $ 22,892     $ 110,300     $ 28,642  
Total   $ 531,457     $ 110,300     $ 424,759     $ 110,300  

 

The Company recorded debt discount accretion of $61,096 and $0 to interest expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and has $181,370 of unamortized debt discount remaining as of March 31, 2018.

 

November 2017

 

On November 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November 2017 Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively “November 2017 Purchasers”) of up to (i) 833,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2017 Incentive Shares”); (ii) $287,502 aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes (the “November 2017 Notes”) and (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,593,776, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2017 Warrants”). The November 2017 Incentive Shares, November 2017 Notes and November 2017 Warrants were issued on November 10, 2017 (the “November 2017 Original Issue Date”). November 2017 Purchasers received (i) November 2017 Incentive Shares at the rate of 2.8986 November 2017 Incentive Shares for each $1.00 of November 2017 Note principal issued to such November 2017 Purchaser; (ii) a November 2017 Note with a principal amount of $1.00 for each $0.86956 for each $1.00 paid by each purchaser for such purchaser’s November 2017 Note; and (iii) November 2017 Warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s November 2017 Note principal amount divided by $0.08 (“Purchaser Conversion Price”), the conversion price in effect on the Initial Closing Date, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the purchasers for the issuance of the November 2017 Incentive Shares, November 2017 Notes and November 2017 Warrants was approximately $250,002 (the “Subscription Amount”) which was issued at a $37,500 original issue discount from the face value of the Note.

 

The November 2017 Notes mature on December 31, 2018, as amended on January 25, 2018, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the November 2017 Notes. At any time after the November 2017 Original Issue Date, the holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note is $0.08 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Each November 2017 Note, for example, is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by us at a price that is lower than the conversion price. Each November 2017 Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on incurrence of indebtedness, liens, charter amendments, dividends, redemption. None of the holders of the November 2017 Note have the right to convert any portion of their November 2017 Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The November 2017 Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading.  If such an event of default occurs, the holders of the November 2017 Notes may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under the November 2017 Notes and accrual of interest as described above. The November 2017 Notes are collectively collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and guarantees of payment of the November 2017 Notes have also been delivered by Joseph Segelman, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, guaranteed payment of all amounts owed under the November 2017 Notes, subject to the terms of such guaranty agreements.

 

The November 2017 Purchase Agreement is being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

 

Optional Redemption

 

The November 2017 Notes provide that commencing six (6) months after the November 2017 Original Issue Date, the Company will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the November 2017 Notes (an “November 2017 Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the holders a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the holder arising under the November 2017 Note through the November 2017 Redemption Payment Date and 2.8986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $1.00 of November 2017 Note principal amount being redeemed. A Notice of Redemption, if given, may be given on the first Trading Day following twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the “Equity Conditions”, as defined, have been in effect. No derivative liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2018, as redemption was contingent.

 

Purchaser Conversion

 

The November 2017 Purchaser has the right at any time after the November 2017 Original Issue Date until the outstanding balance of the Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares (“November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, of the portion of the outstanding balance being converted (the “November 2017 Conversion Amount”) divided by the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Price of $0.08, subject to potential future adjustments described below. If the total outstanding balance of the November 2017 Note were convertible as of March 31, 2018, the November 2017 Note would have been convertible into 3,593,776 shares of our common stock.

 

The Company evaluated the note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and concluded that the Note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480. The Company next evaluated the November 2017 Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company below the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Price as described above, the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” our stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also evaluated the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and concluded that the Purchaser Conversion feature meets all of the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the note and accounted for as a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at its fair value of $165,000 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2018, the embedded derivative was re-measured at fair value that was determined to be $23,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $52,000 on embedded derivative re-valuation.

 

On November 16, 2017, the November 2017 Notes were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 and the Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value, which was determined to be $155,000 and recorded a modification of derivative liability charge of $5,000.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes, November 2016 Notes, and December 2015 Notes were again modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 in which the Company issued a total of 2,395,650 restricted common shares, valued at $263,522 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) in consideration of the maturity date of the outstanding November 2017, November 2016, and December 2015 convertible notes being extended to December 31, 2018. The Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value just prior to and subsequent to the modification and recorded an extinguishment of debt of $12,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the value of the restricted common shares of $263,522 was recorded as an extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling incorporating the following inputs:

 

    March 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
             
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected stock-price volatility     50.0 %     47.5 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.01 %     1.53 %
Expected term of options (years)     0.75       0.5  
Stock price   $ 0.079     $ 0.12  
Conversion price   $ 0.08     $ 0.08  

 

November 2017 Purchaser Warrants

 

The November 2017 Purchaser Warrants allow the November 2017 Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s Note principal amount divided by $0.08, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, subject to adjustment.

 

The term of the Purchaser Warrants is at any time on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the November 2017 Original Issue Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the November 2017 Initial Trading Date of our common stock on a Trading Market.

 

The exercise price of the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants is $0.15 per share of our common stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants.

 

The November 2017 Purchaser Warrants are exercisable by the November 2017 Purchaser in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

The Company evaluated the November 2017 Warrants under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the antidilution provision, which reduces the November 2017 Exercise Price and November 2017 Conversion Price in the event of subsequent November 2017 Dilutive Issuances, the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants are not indexed to our common stock, and the Company has determined that the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value of $290,612 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Purchaser Warrants will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. On November 16, 2017, the November 2017 Warrants were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 which eliminated the antidilution provision of the exercise price, fixed the exercise price at $0.15 per share, and fixed the number of shares the warrants can be exercised into; thereby eliminating the requirement for derivative accounting and liability classification. As a result, the warrant re-valuation was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital resulting in a warrant liability of $0 as of November 16, 2017.

 

November 2017 Purchaser Common Stock

 

The November 2017 Purchasers were issued a total of 833,354 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $163,171 (based on the stock price on the date of issuance).

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the November 2017 Notes with warrants and conversion features that required liability treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on fair values, as follows: original issue discount of $37,497, $163,171 to the common shares issued; $290,612 to the warrants granted; and $165,000 to the embedded derivative, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $287,502 with the remaining amount of approximately $369,000 expensed at inception of the note. The debt discount is accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815. As a result, the Company recorded the elimination of debt discount of $224,904 to extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 with a debt discount of $0 as of March 31, 2018.

 

November 2016

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company previously entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November 2016 Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively “November 2016 Purchasers”) of up to (i) 833,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2016 Incentive Shares”); (ii) $287,502 aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes (the “November 2016 Notes”) and (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,593,775, as amended, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2016 Warrants”). The November 2016 Incentive Shares, November 2016 Notes and November 2016 Warrants were issued on November 10, 2016 (the “November 2016 Original Issue Date”). November 2016 Purchasers received (i) November 2016 Incentive Shares at the rate of 2.8986 November 2016 Incentive Shares for each $1.00 of November 2016 Note principal issued to such November 2016 Purchaser; (ii) a November 2016 Note with a principal amount of $1.00 for each $0.86956 for each $1.00 paid by each purchaser for such purchaser’s November 2016 Note; and (iii) November 2016 Warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s November 2016 Note principal amount divided by $0.12 (“Purchaser Conversion Price”), the conversion price in effect on the Initial Closing Date, as amended on May 30, 2017 to $0.08, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.30, subject to adjustment. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the purchasers for the issuance of the November 2016 Incentive Shares, November 2016 Notes and November 2016 Warrants was approximately $244,945 (the “Subscription Amount”) which was issued at a $42,557 original issue discount from the face value of the Note.

 

The November 2016 Notes mature on December 31, 2018, as amended on January 25, 2018, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the November 2016 Notes. At any time after the November 2016 Original Issue Date, the holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note was $0.12 per share, as amended on May 30, 2017 to $0.08, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Each November 2016 Note, for example, is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by us at a price that is lower than the conversion price. Each November 2016 Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on incurrence of indebtedness, liens, charter amendments, dividends, redemption. None of the holders of the November 2016 Note have the right to convert any portion of their November 2016 Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The November 2016 Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading.  If such an event of default occurs, the holders of the November 2016 Notes may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under the November 2016 Notes and accrual of interest as described above. The November 2016 Notes are collectively collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and guarantees of payment of the November 2016 Notes have also been delivered by Joseph Segelman, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, guaranteed payment of all amounts owed under the November 2016 Notes, subject to the terms of such guaranty agreements.

 

The November 2016 Purchase Agreement is being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

 

As a result of the failure to timely file our 2016 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and our Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the November 2016 and December 2015 Notes were in default. On May 30, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Consent, Waiver and Modification Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain purchasers of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to securities purchase agreements dated December 23, 2015 and November 10, 2016, which were amended pursuant to a Consent, Waiver and Modification Agreement dated October 13, 2016. The waivers contained in the Agreement were related to a waiver of the right to participate in additional offerings by the Company, allowing shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued pursuant to a private offering at a price of not less than $0.08 per share as well as warrants exercisable for a period of five years at $0.15 per share, as amended on November 16, 2017, adjusting the conversion price of the Notes issued to the purchasers to $0.08 per share, extending the maturity date of the December 23, 2015 convertible promissory notes to December 31, 2018 and waiving default provisions listed in the Notes related to the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2017. Based on ASC 470-50-40, Extinguishments of Debt, the Company recognized $691,371 as an extinguishment of debt under Other (income) expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 (Successor). The extinguishment of debt is comprised of changes in the fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities due to the amendment of the notes that were measured immediately prior to and subsequent to the amendment that resulted in extinguishment loss of $176,022 for the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants, $75,648 for the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, $183,250 for the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Shares, and $41,842 for the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Shares, as well as $178,409 for the unamortized debt discount associated with the November 2016 Notes and $36,200 for the unamortized debt discount associated with the December 2015 Notes.

The November 2016 Notes provide that commencing six (6) months after the November 2016 Original Issue Date, the Company will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the November 2016 Notes (an “November 2016 Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the holders a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the holder arising under the November 2016 Note through the November 2016 Redemption Payment Date and 2.8986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $1.00 of November 2016 Note principal amount being redeemed. A Notice of Redemption, if given, may be given on the first Trading Day following twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the “Equity Conditions”, as defined, have been in effect.

 

The Company evaluated the Optional Redemption in ASC 815, and concluded that the Optional Redemption meets the criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, is accounted for as a liability.

 

As of March 31, 2018, the Optional Redemption was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling and at each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Optional Redemption liability will be re-measured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The Optional Redemption liability fair value was originally valued at $35,015 and was re-measured at fair value to be $27,455 at March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $11,505 on Optional Redemption valuation in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling incorporating the following inputs:

 

    March 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
             
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected stock-price volatility     50.0 %     47.5 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.01 %     1.53 %
Expected term of options (years)     0.75       0.5  
Stock price   $ 0.079     $ 0.12  
Conversion price   $ 0.08     $ 0.08  

 

Purchaser Conversion

 

The November 2016 Purchaser has the right at any time after the November 2016 Original Issue Date until the outstanding balance of the Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares (“November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, of the portion of the outstanding balance being converted (the “November 2016 Conversion Amount”) divided by the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Price of $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, subject to potential future adjustments described below. If the total outstanding balance of the November 2016 Note were convertible as of December 31, 2017, the November 2016 Note would have been convertible into 3,593,775 shares of our common stock.

 

The Company evaluated the note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and concluded that the Note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480. The Company next evaluated the November 2016 Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company below the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Price as described above, the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” our stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also evaluated the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and concluded that the Purchaser Conversion feature meets all of the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the note and accounted for as a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at its fair value of $32,016 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2018, the embedded derivative was re-measured at fair value that was determined to be $23,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $52,000 and a loss of $2,615, respectively, on embedded derivative re-valuation, respectively.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes, November 2016 Notes, and December 2015 Notes were again modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 in which the Company issued a total of 2,395,650 restricted common shares, valued at $263,522 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) in consideration of the maturity date of the outstanding November 2017, November 2016, and December 2015 convertible notes being extended to December 31, 2018. The Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value just prior to and subsequent to the modification and recorded an extinguishment of debt of $12,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the value of the restricted common shares of $263,522 was recorded as an extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling incorporating the following inputs:

 

    March 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
             
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected stock-price volatility     50.0 %     47.5 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.01 %     1.53 %
Expected term of options (years)     0.75       0.5  
Stock price   $ 0.079     $ 0.12  
Conversion price   $ 0.08     $ 0.08  

 

November 2016 Purchaser Warrants

 

The November 2016 Purchaser Warrants allow the November 2016 Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s Note principal amount divided by $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment.

 

The term of the Purchaser Warrants is at any time on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the November 2016 Original Issue Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the November 2016 Initial Trading Date of our common stock on a Trading Market.

 

The exercise price of the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants is $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, per share of our common stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants.

 

The November 2016 Purchaser Warrants are exercisable by the November 2016 Purchaser in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

The Company evaluated the November 2016 Warrants under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the antidilution provision, which reduces the November 2016 Exercise Price and November 2016 Conversion Price in the event of subsequent November 2016 Dilutive Issuances, the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants are not indexed to our common stock, and the Company has determined that the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value of $108,597 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Purchaser Warrants will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. On November 16, 2017, the November 2016 Warrants were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 which eliminated the antidilution provision of the exercise price, fixed the exercise price at $0.15 per share, and fixed the number of shares the warrants can be exercised into; thereby eliminating the requirement for derivative accounting and liability classification. As a result, the warrant re-valuation was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital resulting in a warrant liability of $0 as of November 16, 2017.

 

November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock

 

The November 2016 Purchasers were issued a total of 833,354 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $100,002 (based on the stock price on the date of issuance).

 

As of December 31, 2016, the total proceeds of $244,945 previously received by the Company for the November 2016 Note, November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock, and November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, was allocated first to the November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock, November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, and embedded derivative liabilities at their initial fair values determined at the issuance date. Since the difference between the full fair value of November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock, November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, and embedded derivative liabilities of $240,615 was less than the proceeds of $244,945, no additional amounts were recorded.

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the November 2016 Notes with warrants and conversion features that require liability treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on fair values, as follows: $100,002 to the common shares issued; $108,567 to the warrants granted; $42,557 to the original issue discount; and $32,016 to the embedded derivative, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $283,172. The debt discount is accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Company recorded debt discount accretion of $0 and $46,677 to interest expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and has an unamortized debt discount of $0 as of March 31, 2018.

 

December 2015

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company previously entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively “Purchasers”) of up to (i) 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “December 2015 Incentive Shares”); (ii) $862,500 aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes (the “December 2015 Notes”) and (iii) December 2015 Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,781,250, as amended, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “December 2015 Warrants”). The December 2015 Incentive Shares, December 2015 Notes and December 2015 Warrants were issued on December 23, 2015 (the “Original Issue Date”). December 2015 Purchasers received (i) December 2015 Incentive Shares at the rate of 2.8986 December 2015 Incentive Shares for each $1.00 of December 2015 Note principal issued to such December 2015 Purchaser; (ii) a December 2015 Note with a principal amount of $1.00 for each $0.86956 for each $1.00 paid by each purchaser for such purchaser’s December 2015 Note; and (iii) December 2015 Warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s December 2015 Note principal amount divided by $0.12 (“December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price”), the conversion price in effect on the Initial Closing Date, as amended on May 30, 2017 to $0.08, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the purchasers for the issuance of the December 2015 Incentive Shares, December 2015 Notes and December 2015 Warrants was approximately $724,500 (the “December 2015 Subscription Amount”) which was issued at a $138,000 original issue discount from the face value of the December 2015 Note.

 

The December 2015 Notes mature on December 31, 2018, as amended on January 25, 2018, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the December 2015 Notes. At any time after the December 2015 Original Issue Date, the holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a December 2015 Note was $0.12 per share, as amended on May 30, 2017 to $0.08, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Each December 2015 Note, for example, is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by us at a price that is lower than the conversion price. Each December 2015 Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on incurrence of indebtedness, liens, charter amendments, dividends, redemption. None of the holders of the December 2015 Note have the right to convert any portion of their December 2015 Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The December 2015 Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading.  If such an event of default occurs, the holders of the December 2015 Notes may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under the December 2015 Notes and accrual of interest as described above. The December 2015 Notes are collectively collateralized by substantially all of our assets and guarantees of payment of the December 2015 Notes have also been delivered by Joseph Segelman, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, guaranteed payment of all amounts owed under the December 2015 Notes, subject to the terms of such guaranty agreements.

 

In addition, until one year after the initial trading date of a Registration Statement which registers all then outstanding or issuable underlying shares, the December 2015 Purchasers shall have the right to participate in an amount of subsequent financing equal to 100% of the December 2015 Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2016, this requirement was waived pursuant to the terms of the Consent, Waiver and Modification Agreement with certain Purchasers of Purchase Agreement dated December 23, 2015.

 

The Purchase Agreement is being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

 

As a result of the failure to timely file our 2016 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and our Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the November 2016 and December 2015 Notes were in default. On May 30, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Consent, Waiver and Modification Agreement with certain purchasers of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to securities purchase agreements dated December 23, 2015 and November 10, 2016, which were amended pursuant to a Consent, Waiver and Modification Agreement dated October 13, 2016. The waivers contained in the Agreement were related to a waiver of the right to participate in additional offerings by the Company, allowing shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued pursuant to a private offering at a price of not less than $0.08 per share as well as warrants exercisable for a period of five years at $0.15 per share, as amended on November 16, 2017, adjusting the conversion price of the Notes issued to the purchasers to $0.08 per share, extending the maturity date of the December 23, 2015 convertible promissory notes to December 31, 2018, as amended on November 16, 2017, and waiving default provisions listed in the Notes related to the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2017. Based on ASC 470-50-40, Extinguishments of Debt, the Company recognized $691,371 as an extinguishment of debt under Other (income) expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 (Successor). The extinguishment of debt is comprised of changes in the fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities due to the amendment of the notes that were measured immediately prior to and subsequent to the amendment that resulted in extinguishment loss of $176,022 for the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants, $75,648 for the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, $183,250 for the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Shares, and $41,842 for the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Shares, as well as $178,409 for the unamortized debt discount associated with the November 2016 Notes and $36,200 for the unamortized debt discount associated with the December 2015 Notes.

 

December 2015 Optional Redemption

 

The December 2015 Notes provide that commencing six (6) months after the December 2015 Original Issue Date, the Company will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the December 2015 Notes (an “December 2015 Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the holders a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the holder arising under the December 2015 Note through the December 2015 Redemption Payment Date and 2.8986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $1.00 of December 2015 Note principal amount being redeemed. A Notice of Redemption, if given, may be given on the first Trading Day following twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the “Equity Conditions”, as defined, have been in effect.

 

The Company evaluated the Optional Redemption in ASC 815, and concluded that the Optional Redemption meets the criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, is accounted for as a liability.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Optional Redemption was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling and at each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Optional Redemption liability will be re-measured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The Optional Redemption liability fair value was originally valued at $199,150 and was re-measured at fair value to be $82,365 at March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $34,515 and a loss of $25,180 on Optional Redemption valuation, respectively, in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling incorporating the following inputs:

 

    March 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
             
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected stock-price volatility     50.0 %     47.5 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.01 %     1.53 %
Expected term of options (years)     0.75       0.5  
Stock price   $ 0.079     $ 0.12  
Conversion price   $ 0.08     $ 0.08  

  

December 2015 Purchaser Conversion

 

The December 2015 Purchaser has the right at any time after the December 2015 Original Issue Date until the outstanding balance of the December 2015 Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares (“December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, of the portion of the outstanding balance being converted (the “December 2015 Conversion Amount”) divided by the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price of $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, subject to potential future adjustments described below. If the total outstanding balance of the Note were convertible as of December 31, 2017, the December 2015 Note would have been convertible into 10,781,250 shares of our common stock.

 

The Company evaluated the note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and concluded that the December 2015 Note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480. The Company next evaluated the December 2015 Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company below the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price as described above, the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” the Company’s stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also evaluated the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and concluded that the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion feature meets all of the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the note and accounted for as a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling and at each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The original fair value of the derivative was $88,983 and at March 31, 2018, the embedded derivative was re-measured at fair value that was determined to be $69,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $155,998 and a loss of $7,007 on embedded derivative re-valuation, respectively.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes, November 2016 Notes, and December 2015 Notes were again modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 in which the Company issued a total of 2,395,650 restricted common shares, valued at $263,522 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) in consideration of the maturity date of the outstanding November 2017, November 2016, and December 2015 convertible notes being extended to December 31, 2018. The Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value just prior to and subsequent to the modification and recorded an extinguishment of debt of $35,999 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the value of the restricted common shares of $263,522 was recorded as an extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling incorporating the following inputs:

 

    March 31, 2018   December 31, 2017
         
Expected dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%
Expected stock-price volatility   50.0%   47.5%
Risk-free interest rate   2.01%   1.53%
Expected term of options (years)   0.75   0.5
Stock price   $0.079   $0.12
Conversion price   $0.08   $0.08

 

December 2015 Purchaser Warrants

 

The December 2015 Purchaser Warrants allow the December 2015 Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s Note principal amount divided by $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment.

 

The term of the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants is at any time on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the December 2015 Original Issue Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the December 2015 Initial Trading Date of the Company’s common stock on a Trading Market.

 

The exercise price of the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants is $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, per share of the Company’s common stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants.

 

The December 2015 Purchaser Warrants are exercisable by the Purchaser in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the antidilution provision, which reduces the Exercise Price and Conversion Price in the event of subsequent Dilutive Issuances, the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock, and the Company determined that the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815.

 

At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Purchaser Warrants will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The original fair value of the warrants were $439,107. On November 16, 2017, the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 which eliminated the antidilution provision of the exercise price, fixed the exercise price at $0.15 per share, and fixed the number of shares the warrants can be exercised into; thereby eliminating the requirement for derivative accounting and liability classification. As a result, the warrant re-valuation was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital resulting in a warrant liability of $0 as of November 16, 2017.

 

December 2015 Purchaser Common Stock

 

The December 2015 Purchasers were issued a total of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $625,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant).

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the December 2015 Notes with warrants that require liability treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on fair values, as follows: original issue discount of $138,000, $625,000 to the common shares issued, $439,107 to the warrants granted, and $88,983 to the embedded derivative, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $862,500 with the remaining amount of approximately $429,000 expensed at inception of the note. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

The Company recorded debt discount accretion of $0 and $141,651 to interest expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and has no unamortized debt discount remaining as of March 31, 2018.

 

Changes in the derivative liabilities were as follows:

       
Derivative liabilities:      
December 31, 2017   $ 470,839  
Change due to extinguishment of debt     59,999  
Decrease in fair value     (306,018 )
March 31, 2018   $ 224,820
