(7) Convertible Promissory Notes

In March 2019, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to various investors in the aggregate principal amount of $530,000. Interest accrued at 8% compounded annually on all Notes. The maturity date was the earlier of a Liquidity Event or upon the written demand of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes made any time after December 31, 2023. A Liquidity Event was defined as (i) the date of the closing of a merger or reorganization of the Company with another entity; (ii) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company in which the Company’s stockholders own less than 50% of the equity securities after the event; or (iii) a liquidation of the Company.

The Company incurred costs of $8,622 in connection with the issuance of the Notes. In addition, on issuance, the Company recognized a discount associated with the Notes of $26,500 related to the fair value of an embedded derivative reflecting the share-settlement provision upon the closing of a Qualified Financing. Unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount were deducted from the face amount of the Notes on the balance sheets. The Company amortized the deferred financing fees and debt discount over the term of the Notes as additional interest expense using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the Notes was 9.8%. The Company made no cash payments for interest during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

On January 31, 2020, the Company closed its IPO.  In accordance with the terms of the Notes, the outstanding Notes plus accrued interest converted into 118,470 shares of Company common stock at a 20% discount to the initial offering price of shares issued in the IPO.
