The Company issues convertible notes in exchange for cash. The notes typically do not bear any interest; however, there is an implied interest rate of 10% since the notes are typically issued at a 10% discount. The notes are unsecured, and usually mature twelve months from issuance. The notes are convertible at the option of the note holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price stipulated in the conversion agreement. In addition, the note holders receive warrants to purchase shares of common stock that are fully vested upon issuance and expire one year from the date of issuance. As a result, the Company records a note discount to account for the relative fair value of the warrants, and original issue discount of 10% (OID). The note discounts are amortized over the term of the notes.
