Accordingly, these notes are classified as long-term at January 29, 2022. On January 21, 2021, the Company’s Simply Mac subsidiary issued a $400,000 unsecured short-term promissory note to Taylor Capital LLC that was outstanding at January 30, 2021. The note was scheduled to mature, and become due and payable in full, on April 21, 2021 together with a one-time fee of $20,000 plus accrued interest at the rate of 18% per annum compounded monthly. Taylor Capital is wholly owned by Kevin Taylor, the chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. In March 2021, the note and all accrued interest and fees were repaid in advance of its maturity. Interest expense on the note for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 was $9,000 and $22,000, respectively. On July 6, 2021, the Company issued a $1,000,000, , 9% unsecured convertible note and warrant to SOL Global Investments Corp. (“SOL Global”). SOL Global is an affiliate of the Company and owns greater than 10% of its outstanding common stock. The principal and unpaid accrued interest was convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at $2.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”) and the warrant is exercisable for 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The warrant is exercisable beginning six months after issuance and expires 42 months from the date of issuance. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2 using a binomial option pricing model. The valuation assumed a 108% volatility rate of the Company’s common stock, an estimated life of 3.5 years and a risk-free interest rate of 0.52%. The warrants were assigned a value of $743,000, which amount was recorded as a discount to the debt and a credit to additional paid in capital, resulting in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 324%. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the note on a straight-line basis, which approximated the effective interest method. Upon maturity on January 6, 2022, SOL Global converted the principal and accrued interest on the note into 418,000 shares of common stock.
