On February 29, 2012, a loan payable of $50,000 was converted into a two-year convertible promissory note, interest of 0.19% per annum. Beginning March 31, 2012, the note was convertible into common shares of the Company at the rate of $12.00 per share. This loan (now a convertible promissory note) was originally due in February 2014. The amount due under this note has been reserved for payment upon the note being tendered to the Company by the note holder.

On December 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of USU and, as part of the consideration, a $2.0 million convertible note (the “Note”) was issued, bearing 8% annual interest that matures over a two-year period after the closing. (See Note 5) At the option of the Note holder, on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, $1,000,000 of principal and accrued interest under the Note will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on the volume weighted average price per share for the ten preceding trading days (subject to a floor of $2.00 per share) or become payable in cash. There was no beneficial conversion feature on the note date and the conversion terms of the note exempt it from derivative accounting. Subsequently the note was assigned to a third party. On December 1, 2018 the Company paid the first payment of $1 million principal and $60,000 in interest. On February 25, 2019, the Company paid the remaining principal of $1 million and $80,000 of interest and fees.
