The weighted-average stated interest rate of notes payable was 10% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The average effective annual interest rate of notes payable as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 58% and 66%, respectively, after giving effect to discounts relating to conversion feature, warrants and deferred financing cost in connection with these notes.

 

As of March 31, 2020, future contractual principal payments due on notes payable were as follows:

Immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, all but one of the convertible notes payable were converted into shares of EMI common stock at their respective conversion prices. Upon completion of the Merger, the conversion shares were exchanged for shares of the Company common stock in the same manner as other outstanding shares of common stock of EMI based on the Merger “exchange ratio.” The unconverted convertible note payable is convertible into shares of common stock of EMI at conversion price of $10.00 per share and included in convertible notes payable.

 

The Company estimates the total fair value of any beneficial conversion feature and any accompanying warrants in allocating the proceeds from the sale of convertible notes payable. The proceeds allocated to the beneficial conversion feature were determined by taking the estimated fair value of shares underlying the convertible notes less the fair value of the number of shares that would be issued if the conversion rate equaled the fair value of common stock as of the date of issuance. In situations where the notes included both a beneficial conversion feature and a warrant, the proceeds are allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants based on their relative fair values.

 

The 10% Senior Secured Debentures of EMI were amended and restated immediately prior to the Merger to, among other things, make them convertible into shares of common stock of EMI and to provide for adjustments in the conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and the conversion price in the event of a merger, reorganization and similar events. Accordingly, upon completion of the Merger the Amended and Restated 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures became convertible into shares of common stock of the Company and included in convertible notes payable. See Note 8 for additional information regarding this arrangement.

  

The conversion feature of the Amended and Restated 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures was separately accounted for at fair value as derivative liabilities under guidance in ASC 815 that is remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, with any changes in the fair value of the conversion feature liabilities recorded in earnings. The following table sets forth the fair value of the conversion feature liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

The value and any change in fair value of conversion feature liabilities are determined using a binomial lattice model. The model produces an estimated fair value based on changes in the price of the underlying common stock over successive periods of time.

 

The fair values as of March 31, 2020, the February 21, 2020 modification date and December 31, 2019 were based upon following assumptions:

See Note 13 for information regarding the prepayment of the Amended and Restated 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures.

The Company is party to a revolving line of credit agreement with Dr. Niihara, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the agreement, at the Company’s request from time to time, Dr. Niihara may, but is not obligated to, loan or re-loan to the Company up to $1,000,000. Outstanding amounts under the agreement are due and payable upon demand and bear interest, payable monthly, at a variable annual rate equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus 3%. In addition to the payment of interest, the Company is obligated to pay Dr. Niihara a “tax gross-up” intended to make him whole for federal and state income taxes payable by him with respect to interest paid to him in the previous year. The outstanding balances under the revolving line of credit agreement of $600,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were reflected in revolving line of credit, related party on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. With the tax-gross up, the effective annual interest rate on the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2020 was 10.4%. The revolving line of credit agreement will expire on November 22, 2022. Refer to Note 12 for more information regarding this arrangement.
