Default on Convertible Notes

On February 3, 2021, an event of default was triggered under a convertible note held by Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha” and the “Alpha Capital Note”), which resulted in an increase in the fair value of the bifurcated derivatives associated with the Alpha Capital Note. The holder of the Alpha Convertible Note alleged that the default event also applies to $300,000 of principal that was converted on February 4, 2021, which would result in an additional increase to the settlement amount of the Alpha Convertible Note. On July 29, 2021, the Company reached a settlement agreement with Alpha Capital, signed on July 31, 2021, which calls for Alpha to convert the remaining principal and accrued interest associated with the convertible note in exchange 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock plus a warrant to purchase 25,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.07 per share.   See Note 12, Subsequent Events for the details. The Company has determined that the shares and warrants had an aggregate value of $1,156,177 as of July 29, 2021, which exceeds the aggregate $1,109,008 carrying value of the combined principal, accrued interest and derivative liability associated with the Alpha Capital Note as of June 30, 2021. Because the settlement amount provides additional information about a situation that existed as of June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an accrual as of June 30, 2021 for the $47,169 difference between the value of securities offered in settlement and the carrying value of the liabilities, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reflected within (loss) gain on settlement of liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The increase in the fair value resulted in a charge on the statements of operations for the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. See Note 5, Derivative Liabilities and Note 12, Subsequent Events.
