Note 8 – Debentures

The carrying amount of all outstanding debentures as of March 31, 2020 (unaudited), and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Payment on all outstanding debentures of $29.7 million at March 31, 2020, which included non-payment penalties of $6.9 million, is past due. Approximately $0.6 million of the non-payment penalties was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the remaining $6.3 million was recorded in the second half of 2019. In January 2020, the Company and Mr. Diamantis entered into a Forbearance Agreement with certain debenture holders under which Mr. Diamantis paid the debenture holders $50,000 for legal fees and $220,000 in principal payments on debentures that were issued in February 2019. In addition, Mr. Diamantis, who had guaranteed certain of the debentures, agreed to grant the debenture holders security interests in certain potential legal settlements funds that may become due to Mr. Diamantis. The Forbearance Agreement, which terminated on March 15, 2020, required the Company and Mr. Diamantis to repay the debenture holders a total of $4.9 million on or before the termination date, of which $4.7 million was not repaid. On June 30, 2020, the Company received a formal notice of default and demand for full payment of the $29.7 million of outstanding debentures plus accrued interest as discussed in Note 19.

The outstanding debentures at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which were issued during the years ending December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, are more fully described in Note 9 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain of these debentures were issued with warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Outstanding warrants are more fully discussed in Note 13.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company realized a total of $0.5 million in proceeds from the issuances of the debentures. At March 31, 2019, unamortized discounts were $2.9 million. These discounts represented original issue discounts, the relative fair value of the warrants issued with the debentures and the relative fair value of the beneficial conversion features of the debentures. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $7.5 million of non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount expense primarily in connection with the debentures and warrants. These discounts were fully amortized as of December 31, 2019 and, accordingly, no amortization associated with the debentures was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020. In addition to the non-cash interest expense and amortization of debt discount recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company accrued interest expense, including penalty interest, on outstanding debentures of $1.9 million and $13,997, respectively.

See Note 13 for summarized information related to warrants issued and the activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
