Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (also referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was originally formed as a limited liability company in Delaware on July 23, 2010. The Company develops wireless audio integrated circuits for home entertainment and professional audio markets. On December 31, 2017, the Company converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”). Prior to the Conversion, the Company had been taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, such that the Company’s taxable income was reported by its members in their respective tax returns. Following the Conversion, the Company will be taxed as a corporation. In connection with the Conversion, the Company’s board of directors approved a 15-for-1 reverse split of the Company’s units into stock. All unit and stock data in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split. In connection with the Conversion, the Company authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 200,000,000 shares of common stock and issued 324,821 shares of common stock to such investors previously holding 4,872,221 common membership interests and 2,762,594 shares of convertible preferred stock (“Original Preferred Stock”) to such investors previously holding 41,438,818 preferred membership interests. Such shares of common stock and preferred stock were fully paid, nonassessable shares of stock of the Company.

On July 26, 2018, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224267) relating to the IPO was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 25, 2018. The shares of common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “WISA” on July 27, 2018. Under the offering, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $5.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $12,000,000. In aggregate, the shares issued in the offering generated approximately $10,273,000 in net proceeds, which amount is net of $900,000 in underwriters’ discounts and commissions, $220,000 in underwriters’ accountable and non-accountable expenses and legal, accounting and other estimated offering costs of $607,000. Upon the closing of the IPO, (i) all shares of Original Preferred Stock then outstanding were automatically converted into 2,762,594 shares of common stock and (ii) all convertible notes payable along with accrued interest were automatically converted in to 9,527,144 shares of common stock, except for $200,000 of such notes which were repaid in cash immediately following the offering.

On April 18, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, with Lisa Walsh (the “Preferred SPA”), pursuant to which we issued 250,000 shares of our Series A 8% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which shares have a stated value of $4.00, grant holders the same voting rights as holders of our shares of common stock, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at price of $4.00 per share, subject to a floor price of $1.50 and to adjustment under our Certificate of Designations of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock, in consideration for $1,000,000 (the “Initial Tranche”). The Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in tranches of at least $500,000 and in an aggregate of up to $5 million. In connection with the Initial Tranche, the Company also issued to the Ms. Walsh a warrant to purchase 255,102 shares of our common stock.

On May 24, 2019, the Company closed a public offering of the Company’s common stock (“Public Offering”). The Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-230952) relating to the Public Offering was declared effective by the SEC on May 21, 2019. In connection with the Public Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,075,726 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $1.33 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $5,420,000. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $4,664,000.

Liquidity and management plans 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net operating losses each year since inception. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $183.7 million and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. The Company expects operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future because of additional costs and expenses related to research and development activities, plans to expand its product portfolio, and increase its market share. The Company’s ability to transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. Based on current operating levels, the Company will need to raise additional funds by selling additional equity or incurring debt. To date, the Company has not generated significant revenues and has funded its operations primarily through sales of its common stock in public markets, sales of common and preferred units prior to its IPO and proceeds from convertible notes. Additionally, future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, the selling price of the Company’s products, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt. There can be no assurance that, in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As a result, the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that the Company believes are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and filing fees relating to public offerings, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against public offering proceeds upon the effectiveness of an offering. In the event that an offering is terminated, deferred offering costs will be expensed. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had capitalized $21,000 and $41,000, respectively, of deferred offering costs in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any change in previously reported net loss, total assets or shareholders’ equity.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand and money market accounts at one financial institution. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located throughout the world. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and sometimes requires partial payment in advance of shipping. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had two customers accounting for 48% and 45% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had two customers accounting for 47% and 42% of accounts receivable. The Company had three customers accounting for 56%, 20% and 17% of its net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The Company had three customers accounting for 54%, 28% and 11% of its net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company had two customers accounting for 51% and 45% of its net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company had two customers accounting for 59% and 32% of its net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company’s products, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

The Company relies on sole-source suppliers to manufacture some of the components used in its product. The Company’s manufacturers and suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet demand. The Company is heavily dependent on a single contractor in China for assembly and testing of its products, a single contractor in Japan for the production of its transmit semiconductor chip and a single contractor in China for the production of its receive semiconductor chip.

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company bifurcates conversion options and warrants from their host instruments and accounts for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options and warrants should be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption.

Warrants for Common Shares and Derivative Financial Instruments

Warrants for common shares and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as equity or liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its warrants for common shares and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.

The issuance of the convertible notes payable generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, to common shares, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales of products with alternative uses account for the majority of our revenue and are recognized at a point in time. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are excluded from revenue. Our revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components.

Sales to certain distributors are made under arrangements which provide the distributors with price adjustments, price protection, stock rotation and other allowances under certain circumstances. The Company does not provide its customers with a contractual right of return. However, the Company accepts limited returns on a case-by-case basis. These returns, adjustments and other allowances are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration.

If a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional before we transfer a good or service to the customer, those amounts are classified as deferred income/advances received from customers which are included in other current liabilities when the payment is made or it is due, whichever is earlier.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes all changes within stockholders’ equity that are not the result of transactions with stockholders. Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the consolidation of the Company’s foreign subsidiary.

Foreign Currency

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign operations are measured using currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currencies. Accordingly, for these operations all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Expense items are translated using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these operations’ financial statements are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, while foreign currency transaction gains or losses, resulting from remeasuring local currency to the U.S. dollar are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in other income (expense), net and were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Advertising costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were not material.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, preferred stock, warrants for common stock, restricted stock units and shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, warrants to purchase 8,906,955 shares of common stock, 250,000 shares of preferred stock and 241,132 shares of restricted stock have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because the inclusion would be antidilutive.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, warrants to purchase 8,601,813 shares of common stock, and 943,352 shares of restricted stock have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because the inclusion would be antidilutive.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. ASU 2018-07 applies to all entities that enter into share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payments transactions to nonemployees. Changes to the accounting for nonemployee awards as a result of ASU 2018-07 include: 1) equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date, instead of the previous requirement to remeasure the awards through the performance completion date, 2) for awards with performance conditions, compensation cost is recognized when the achievement of the performance condition is probable, rather than upon achievement, and 3) the current requirement to reassess the classification (equity or liability) for nonemployee awards upon vesting is eliminated. ASU 2018-07 clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to financing transactions or awards granted to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The objective of the update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with a lease term of more than 12 months. In addition, the update will require additional disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. Under existing guidance, operating leases are not recorded as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. In October 2019, the FASB decided to defer the mandatory effective date of ASU 2016-02 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 for certain entities, including private companies. As an emerging growth company, the Company is allowed to adopt accounting pronouncements at the same time as non-public business entities. As a result, we will adopt the update for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to significantly impact the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”.  The FASB developed the amendments to Accounting Standards Codification 820 as part of its broader disclosure framework project, which aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by focusing on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to users of the financial statements.  This update eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some of the existing disclosure requirements.  The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within such fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. 

We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

In connection with the acquisition of the Focus Enhancements, Inc. assets in July 2010, the Company assumed an asset purchase agreement with Hallo Development Co, LLC (“Hallo”). In October 2010, the Hallo agreement was amended to require the Company to pay royalties to Hallo at specified rates based on annual net sales derived from the Company’s purchased technology over a period of three years with a minimum royalty of $900,000. Initial shipments commenced in 2011 and after three years, cumulative royalties due to Hallo were $900,000. In April 2014, the Hallo agreement was amended, converting the outstanding balance of $358,000, to an unsecured promissory note (“Hallo Note”), bearing interest at 18.0% per year with an initial maturity date of December 31, 2015, that was later extended. In December 2016, following a principal reduction payment of $38,000, the Hallo Note was amended as follows: (i) the maturity date was changed to “five days following an IPO”, (ii) following a debt or equity financing in excess of $4,000,000, the Company would make a principal reduction payment of $13,000, (iii) on the maturity date, the Company would make a principal reduction payment of $95,000, and (iv) the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest, after the payments described in (ii) and (iii) above, would automatically convert to shares in connection with an initial public offering, at a conversion price equal to the average of the highest and the lowest price of the related stock that the Company sold on the maturity date. As a result of such amendment, the Hallo Note was reclassified to convertible notes payable as of December 31, 2016. As of February 28, 2018, the Hallo Note holders agreed to amend the conversion price language in their respective convertible notes to be the lower of (i) $4.50 or (ii) the initial price of the Company’s common stock sold pursuant to an IPO and to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. The Company recognized interest expense of $4,000 and $24,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company made principal reduction payments under the Hallo Note of $100,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On July 25, 2018, the outstanding convertible note automatically converted into 56,723 shares of common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO.

On January 5, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Securities Agreement and a separate Secured Promissory Note with the principal face value of $500,000 (the “January 2015 Note”). The personal property, fixtures and intellectual property and products of the Company served as the collateral for the borrowing. The initial interest rate was 15.0% per year with an initial maturity date of July 5, 2015, that was later extended. In February 2016, following a principal reduction payment of $225,000, the maturity date was extended to September 1, 2017, and the interest rate was adjusted to 10.0% per year. In December 2016, following a principal reduction payment of $23,000, the January 2015 Note was amended as follows: (i) the maturity date was changed to “five days following an IPO”, (ii) following a debt or equity financing in excess of $4,000,000 prior to an IPO, the Company would make a principal reduction payment of $13,000, (iii) on the maturity date, the Company would make a principal reduction payment of $95,000, and (iv) the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest, after the payments described in (ii) and (iii) above, would automatically convert to shares in connection with the IPO, at a conversion price equal to the average of the highest and the lowest price of the related stock that the Company sold on the maturity date. As a result of such amendment, the January 2015 Note was reclassified to convertible notes payable as of December 31, 2016. As of February 28, 2018, the January 2015 Note holders agreed to amend the conversion price language in their respective convertible notes to be the lower of (i) $4.50 or (ii) the initial price of the Company’s common stock sold pursuant to an IPO and to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. The Company has recognized interest expense of $1,000 and $11,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company made principal reduction payments under the January 2015 Note of $100,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On July 25, 2018, the outstanding convertible note automatically converted into 39,653 shares of common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO.

On April 4, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Securities Agreement and a separate Secured Promissory Note with the principal face value of $450,000 (the “April 2015 Note”). The proceeds from April 2015 Note were used to repay the $450,000 loan outstanding with a bank. The personal property, fixtures and intellectual property and products of the Company served as the collateral for the borrowing. Interest accrued at a rate 5.0% per year during the first twelve months and increased to 10.0% per year through maturity. All principal and related accrued interest outstanding were due and payable at the maturity date, which was originally January 31, 2017. In November 2016, the April 2015 Note was amended to (i) change the maturity date to September 1, 2017 and (ii) provide that if the Company completes an underwritten public offering of its common shares or consummates a change of control, then the aggregate outstanding principal and related accrued interest would automatically convert into the number of common shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate principal and accrued interest by the conversion price. The conversion price was the lesser of $4.50 or the highest price per common share sold in the IPO or paid by a buyer upon a change in control multiplied by 75%. As a result of such amendment, the April 2015 Note was reclassified to convertible notes payable. As of February 28, 2018, the April 2015 Note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. The Company has recognized interest expense of $3,000 and $25,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

On September 18, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Securities Agreement and a separate Secured Promissory Note with the principal face value of $200,000 (the “September 2015 Note”). The personal property, fixtures and intellectual property and products of the Company served as the collateral for the borrowing. Interest accrued at a rate 10.0% per year through maturity. All principal and related accrued interest outstanding were due and payable at the maturity date, which was originally January 31, 2017. In November 2016, the September 2015 Note was amended to (i) change the maturity date to September 1, 2017 and (ii) provide that if the Company completes an underwritten public offering of its common shares or consummates a change of control, then the aggregate outstanding principal and related accrued interest would automatically convert in to the number of common shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate principal and accrued interest by the conversion price. The conversion price was the lesser of $4.50 or the highest price per common share sold in the IPO or paid by a buyer upon a change in control multiplied by 75%. As a result of such amendment, the September 2015 Note was reclassified to convertible notes payable. As of February 28, 2018, the September 2015 Note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. The Company has recognized interest expense of $1,000 and $11,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

In connection with the sale of product on December 22, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Securities Agreement and a separate Secured Promissory Note with the principal face value of $353,000 (the “December 2015 Note”). The principal amount represented as advance on the product sale. The personal property, fixtures and intellectual property and products of the Company served as the collateral for the borrowing (see Note 5 – Series E Convertible Note Payable for subsequent release of collateral). Interest accrued at a rate 12.0% per year through maturity. All principal and related accrued interest outstanding were due and payable at the maturity date, which was originally September 22, 2016, that was later extended. In December 2016, the December 2015 Note was amended to (i) change the maturity date to September 1, 2017 and (ii) provide that if the Company completes an underwritten public offering of its common shares or consummates a change of control, then the aggregate outstanding principal and related accrued interest would automatically convert in to the number of common shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate principal and accrued interest by the conversion price. The conversion price was the lesser of $4.50 or the highest price per common share sold in an initial public offering or paid by a buyer upon a change in control multiplied by 75%. As a result of such amendment, the December 2015 Note was reclassified to convertible notes payable. As of December 31, 2017, the December 2015 Note had a zero principal balance as the Company had fulfilled its obligation to ship product to the lender. On July 25, 2018, the outstanding accrued interest on the December 2015 Note automatically converted into 11,295 shares of common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO.

During February 2016, we entered into five different Loan and Securities Agreements and separate Secured Promissory Notes with a total principal face value of $250,000 (the “Five February 2016 Notes”). The personal property, fixtures and intellectual property and products of the Company served as the collateral for the borrowings. Interest accrued at a rate 10.0% per year through maturity. All principal and related accrued interest outstanding were due and payable at the maturity date, which was originally February 1, 2017, that was later extended. In December 2016, two of the Five February 2016 Notes were terminated and extinguished and the lenders agreed that the $100,000 aggregate principal balance of the loans and the $9,000 aggregate accrued interest would be used to fund their participation in the Series D convertible notes. In May 2017, the three remaining holders of the Five February 2016 Notes agreed to amend their notes to include a provision that if the Company completes an underwritten public offering of its common shares or consummates a change of control, then the aggregate outstanding principal and related accrued interest would automatically convert in to the number of common shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate principal and accrued interest by the conversion price. The conversion price was the lesser of $4.50 or the highest price per common share sold in the IPO or paid by a buyer upon a change in control multiplied by 75%. As a result of such amendment, the three remaining Five February 2016 Notes were reclassified to convertible notes payable. Effective February 28, 2018, the February 2016 Note holders agreed to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. The Company recognized interest expense of $1,000 and $8,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

In connection with the Five February 2016 Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase common shares of 111,112 (see Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for fair value computation). The sum of the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the respective terms of the various notes. The debt discounts are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized no interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount.

The Series E Convertible Notes were eligible for conversion at any point prior to the maturity date or upon a change of control or an initial public offering by the Company. The conversion price in effect upon on initial public offering was the lesser of $4.50 or the highest price per common share sold in the initial public offering multiplied by 75%. The conversion price at any other conversion event was the lessor of $4.50 or the price per share issued by the Company in connection with any sale involving substantially all the assets of the Company. Additionally, in connection with the Series E Convertible Note financing, all of the Company’s outstanding promissory and convertible note holders agreed to: (i) subordinate their notes to the Series E Convertible Notes, (ii) release all security interests in the Company’s assets in favor of the Series E Convertible Notes (iii) extend their maturity dates to February 28, 2018 and (iv) amend the Company’s Operating Agreement to allow the Series E Convertible Note lender one seat on the Company’s board of directors so long as the investor owns any debt or securities of the Company.

On October 31, 2017, the Company filed a confidential S-1 registration statement with the SEC (“S-1”) with the belief that the S-1 filing would extend the maturity date of the Series E Convertible Notes to November 30, 2017. The Series E Convertible Note holder claimed that the S-1 filing did not meet the definition outlined in the Series E Convertible Note and issued a notice of default to the Company on November 2, 2017 (“Default Notice”).

On November 30, 2017, as a result of the Default Notice and an inability of the two parties to renegotiate the Series E Convertible Notes under acceptable terms, the Company requested and received a Series E Convertible Note payoff letter (“Series E Payoff Letter”) from the Series E Convertible Note holder. The Series E Payoff Letter stated that in addition to the repayment of the Series E Convertible Notes of $5,882,000, that the Series E Convertible Note holder was due $1,098,000 of default interest and penalties, reimbursement of $179,000 of legal fees, and consulting, travel and lodging fees of $102,000. Despite the Company’s disagreement that it was in default and subject to default penalties, interest and legal fees, the Company paid the full monetary demand of $7,261,000 as requested by the Series E Convertible Note holder on November 30, 2017. As a result, the Company recognized interest expense including default interest and penalties of $1,980,000 and additional general and administrative expenses of $281,000 which consisted of the Series E Note holder’s legal fees and consulting expenses of $179,000 and $102,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Therefore, the total number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants to investors under the Series E Convertible Notes became 3,102,245. The sum of the fair value of the warrants, the BCF, the embedded conversion feature and issuance costs for the Series E Convertible Notes described above were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized to interest expense over the respective term using the effective interest method.

As of July 15, 2018, the Company was in default on $2,813,000 of the Series G Notes. On July 20, 2018, the Company and the holders of the Series G Notes agreed to (i) extend the maturity date of such notes from July 15, 2018 to July 25, 2018 and (ii) agreed to make the Series G Notes automatically convertible in connection with an initial public offering at a conversion price of the lesser of $4.50 or 60% of the highest price of the common stock sold in an initial public offering.

Derivative Liability

The February 2016 Note, the Series C Convertible Notes, the Series D Convertible Notes, the Series E Convertible Notes, the Series F Convertible Notes, and the Series G Notes contain an embedded conversion feature that the Company has determined is a derivative requiring bifurcation. In July 2018, the derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital as of the date of the Company’s IPO. 

The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by level within the fair value hierarchy, are as follows:

Derivative Liability

The following table includes a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: 

On July 25, 2018, the derivative liability was reclassified to equity upon the Company’s initial public offering. As of July 25, 2018, the Company measured the fair value of the derivative by estimating the fair value using the offering price of $5.00.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company measured the fair value of the derivative by estimating the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock as if conversion occurred on September 30, 2019. The Company calculated value of the conversion feature using the Fixed Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, as adjusted to 95% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the previous ten trading days and the specified floor price of $1.50. There was no change in the fair value of the derivative liability for the three months ended September 30, 2019 because the volume weighted average price of the common stock was below the specified floor price.

Preferred Stock

On July 26, 2018, upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of Original Preferred Stock then outstanding were automatically converted into 2,762,594 shares of common stock.

The fair value of the derivative liability at the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock was $216,000, which was recorded as a derivative liability with the offset recorded as a discount to the Series A Preferred Stock. (See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for the fair value computation.)

The authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and liquidation preferences as of September 30, 2019, were as follows:

The Series A Preferred Stock rights, privileges and preferences are as follows:

Dividends — The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 8% per annum, payable on conversion. The form of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock will be determined based on the legal availability of funds for the payment and the satisfaction of the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the payment date. The form of the payment, depending on the priority, may be made in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s option. If funds are not available and the Equity Conditions have not been met, the dividends will accrue to the next payment date or accrete to the Stated Value. The Company accrued dividends of $20,000 and $36,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Liquidation Rights — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages before any distribution will be made to holders of junior securities. If assets are insufficient for such payment, then the entire assets will be distributed only to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. A fundamental or change of control transaction is not deemed a liquidation.

Conversion — Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for certain events, including dilutive issuances, stock splits, and reclassifications) determined by multiplying such number by the ratio of the Stated Value by a conversion price, which price is originally equal to $4.00 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). However, if the closing price of the common stock is less than the Fixed Conversion Price, then the Fixed Conversion Price may be reduced to equal 95% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock for the previous 10 trading days, which price shall not be less than $1.50. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Company obtains stockholder approval pursuant to the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company cannot issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in the event that such issuance exceeds 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 18, 2019 or if such conversion is considered a “change of control” under NASDAQ rules and regulations.

Voting Rights — Each holder has the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such preferred stock could be converted. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval of more than 67% of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting together as a separate class (a) alter or amend the Certificate of Designations or alter or change adversely the powers, rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, including amending the Company’s certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner adversely affecting the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock; (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock; (c) increase the total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Redemption — The Series A Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable as it does not have a set redemption date or a date after which the shares may be redeemed by the holders. However, if a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) occurs, then each holder will receive 120% of the aggregate Stated Value, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages. Additionally, upon such an event, the divided rate of the Series A Preferred Stock increases to 18% per annum. A Triggering Event is defined as any (1) default on credit obligations; (2) default on payment of certain Series A Preferred Stock payments or a default under the Certificate of Designations and any related transaction document entered into in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock; (3) bankruptcy of the Company; (4) ineligibility for listing of the Company’s common stock on a trading market; (5) change of control or fundamental transaction entered into by the Company, or other transaction entered into by the Company where more than 51% of the Company’s assets are sold; (6) failure of the Company to perform certain regulatory reporting; (7) failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of common stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (8) failure of the Company to maintain a sufficient number of reserved shares pursuant to the Preferred SPA; and (9) judgment is entered or filed against the Company or its subsidiaries in excess of an aggregate of $100,000 or the Company or any of its subsidiaries experiences a loss of property in excess of an aggregate of $100,000. The Company has elected not to adjust the carrying values of the Series A Preferred Stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares because it is uncertain whether or when an event would occur that would obligate the Company to pay the liquidation preferences to holders of shares and at the balance sheet date, these circumstances were not probable. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of the liquidation preferences will be made only when it becomes probable that such a liquidation event will occur.

Rights Upon a Subsequent Financing — So long as holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock hold such shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to or exceeding $250,000, upon any issuance of shares of our common stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Preferred SPA), conventional debt or a combination of such securities and/or debt (a “Subsequent Financing”), unless the proposed terms of a Subsequent Financing shall have first been delivered to such holders in reasonable detail and such holders have first been granted the option to purchase such securities pursuant to such terms, such holders have the right to purchase all, and no less than all, of the securities offered to investors in a Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. In addition, so long as holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock hold such shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to or exceeding $500,000, if we effect a Subsequent Financing, such holders have a right to tender shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the securities offered pursuant to a Subsequent Financing.

Subsequent Equity Sales — In the event that we or any of our subsidiaries issue additional shares of common stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents in connection with a financing pursuant to which the effective price per share for such securities is less than the then conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock, then subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Certificate of Designations, such conversion price will be reduced to such the effective price of such issued securities.

Common Stock

On January 30, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the establishment of the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) and termination of its Carve-Out Plan (the “Plan”). Under the LTIP, the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the LTIP pursuant to awards of restricted shares or options will be limited to 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which calculation shall be made on the first (1st) business day of each new fiscal year; provided that for fiscal year 2018, upon approval of the LTIP by the Company’s shareholders, up to 300,000 shares of common stock were initially available for participants under the LTIP. Thereafter, the 15% evergreen provision governs the LTIP. For fiscal year 2019, up to 2,304,909 shares of common stock are available for participants under the LTIP.

In connection with the termination of the Plan, on January 31, 2018, the Company issued to its employees and directors 1,284,470 and 153,126 shares of restricted common stock (“January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant”), respectively. Such shares of restricted common stock were granted outside the LTIP’s first year share availability pool, are fully vested, and were released to the employees and directors in three tranches at the rate of 33.4%, 33.3% and 33.3% on September 1, 2018, March 1, 2019 and September 1, 2019, respectively. In the event an employee voluntarily resigns, the release dates of the shares will be extended such that only 16.5% of the shares are released every nine months, until 100% are released. In the event that a director voluntarily resigns, each of the release dates will be extended nine months.

The LTIP and January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant were approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders on January 31, 2018. In connection with the January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $2,156,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

On September 1, 2018, the Company released its first tranche of restricted shares under the January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant. The majority of the restricted stock that were released were net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld were based on the value of the restricted stock on their release date as determined by our closing stock price. These net-share settlements had the effect of share repurchases as they reduced and retired the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the release and did not represent an expense to us. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 473,091 shares of restricted stock were released with an intrinsic value of approximately $2.3 million. Of the restricted stock released, 123,255 shares were forfeited and we withheld 92,555 shares to satisfy approximately $499,000 of employees’ minimum tax obligation on the released restricted stock.

On March 1, 2019 and September 1, 2019, the Company released its second and third tranche, respectively, of restricted shares under the January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant. A portion of the restricted stock that was released were net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld were based on the value of the restricted stock on their release date as determined by our closing stock price. These net-share settlements had the effect of share repurchases as they reduced and retired the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the release and did not represent an expense to us. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, 471,676 shares of restricted stock were released with an intrinsic value of approximately $481,000. Of the restricted stock released, 39,662 shares were forfeited and we withheld 21,735 shares to satisfy approximately $22,000 of employees’ minimum tax obligation on the released restricted stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 943,373 shares of restricted stock were released with an intrinsic value of approximately $1.5 million. Of the restricted stock released, 362,824 shares were forfeited and we withheld 46,422 shares to satisfy approximately $87,000 of employees’ minimum tax obligation on the released restricted stock. As of September 30, 2019, there were 21,132 shares of restricted stock remaining under the January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant to be released to a terminated employee in three equal tranches over the next 17 months. 

On February 28, 2018, in connection with the extension of the maturity date of the Series C Convertible Note to August 28, 2018, the Company issued 327 shares of its common stock to the note holder. The Company recorded nominal interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

A summary of the warrant activity and related information that occurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is provided in the following paragraphs.

In connection with the Series D Convertible Notes, the Company recognized the fair value of the warrants as a liability, as the warrants included a price protection provision adjusting the exercise price of the warrant in the event that the Company issued shares (i) at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect or (ii) without consideration.
