NOTE
6 – 2012 FINANCING
On
August 13, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), the Company
entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) with Rho Ventures VI, L.P.
(“Rho”) and Prentice Consumer Partners, LP
(“Prentice”, and together with Rho, the
“Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company
issued (i) $1,500,000 aggregate principal amount of
collateralized subordinated convertible promissory notes to
Rho (the “Rho Notes”) and (ii) $1,500,000
aggregate principal amount of collateralized subordinated
promissory notes to Prentice (the “Prentice
Notes” and together with the Rho Notes, the
“Notes”).
The
Rho Notes bear interest at 12% per annum, compounded
annually, and interest is payable upon maturity or
conversion. The Prentice Notes bear interest at 15% per
annum, compounded annually, and interest is payable
quarterly. Prentice received an origination fee on the
Closing Date equal to two percent of the Prentice
Notes.
The
Rho Notes are convertible, at the holder's option, (a) into
equity securities that the Company might issue in any
subsequent round of financing that results in proceeds to the
Company of at least $7,500,000 (a “Qualified
Financing”) at a price equal to the lowest price per
share paid by any investor in such Qualified Financing or (b)
into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price
per share equal to $1.05, which approximates the fair market
value on the Closing Date (the “Rho Conversion
Feature”).
The
Notes have a one-year term but may become due prior to the
end of such term in the event of a change of control or a
Qualified Financing. The Notes are collateralized by
second priority liens on all assets of the Company.
In
connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company also
issued warrants, with a seven year term, to purchase
476,190 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the
“Warrants”) to each of Rho and Prentice at a
price equal to $1.05 per share, which approximates the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the Closing Date.
The
Notes contain a financial covenant in which the Company is to
maintain current assets in excess of $20,000,000 including
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories
(which includes prepaid inventory), prepaid expenses and
other current assets (the “Financial Covenant”).
In the event that the Company does not maintain this
Financial Covenant, the outstanding principal and accrued
interest expense of the Notes shall be accelerated and
automatically become due and payable. In the event we are
unable to complete the proposed strategic transaction; there
can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with
the Financial Covenant.
In
connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company
incurred approximately $127,000 of debt issuance costs
(“Deferred Financing Costs”), which primarily
consisted of legal and other professional fees. These
Deferred Financing Costs were deferred and are being
amortized to interest expense to related party stockholders
over the term of the Notes. The Deferred Financing Costs are
recorded within Other Current Assets in the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As
the Notes were issued with detachable Warrants, the Company
has initially allocated the proceeds received from the
issuance between the Notes and Warrants on a relative fair
value basis. With respect to the Rho Notes, the Company then
has evaluated the Rho Conversion Feature to determine whether
this feature qualifies as a beneficial conversion feature or
derivative instrument. The Company noted that the Rho
Conversion Feature contains both a fixed conversion price and
a contingently adjustable conversion price based on a future
event. Based on the terms of the Rho Notes and authoritative
guidance, the Company has concluded that the entire Rho
Conversion Feature is an embedded derivative liability (the
“Embedded Derivative”), which requires
bifurcation and must be separately accounted for as a
derivative instrument.
The
Company measured the fair value of the Embedded Derivative
using a Black-Scholes valuation model as of the Closing Date.
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of
the price of the Company’s Common Stock, measured over
the same period of time as the remaining maturity life of the
Rho Notes. The risk free interest rate is based on the
interest rate for U.S. Treasury Notes having a maturity
period equal to the remaining maturity life of the Rho Notes.
As a result of the bifurcation, the Company recognized an
Embedded Derivative of approximately $274,000 with a
corresponding discount on the Rho Notes, which reduced the
carrying value of the Rho Notes on the date of issuance. This
discount represents additional non-cash interest expense that
is to be amortized over the remaining life of the Rho
Notes.
The
Company also remeasures the fair value of the Embedded
Derivative at each reporting date. Any change in fair value
is recorded as part of interest expense to related party
stockholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
The
assumptions used at March 31, 2013 are as follows:
As
of March 31, 2013, the Company’s Notes and interest
payable to related party stockholders, net consists of the
following:
For
the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized
interest expense in connection with the Notes, including
changes in fair value of the Embedded Derivative and
amortization of the debt discount, which were included in
total interest expense to related party stockholders in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations, as follows:
Costs
incurred in connection with the Company's financing
activities are deferred and amortized over the terms of the
related agreements using the straight-line method. During
2012, we deferred approximately $127,000 and $432,000
relating to the August 2012 financing, and the new revolving
credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, and Salus
Capital Partners, LLC, respectively. Amortization of these
costs, which is recognized in other interest expense and
other income, net, in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations, totaled approximately $32,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2013. Deferred financing
costs, net of accumulated amortization, included in other
assets, net, amounted to approximately $47,000 as of March
31, 2013.
