11.       Notes Payable

Convertible Notes

During 2024 and early 2025, the Company issued several secured and senior original-issue-discount convertible notes to multiple institutional investors. These instruments were structured with principal amounts in excess of cash proceeds received due to the embedded original issue discount and, in certain cases, were secured by assets of a subsidiary. The notes provided investors with the option to convert outstanding principal (and, when applicable, accrued interest) into shares of common stock at contractually defined conversion prices, subject to customary adjustment mechanisms. The agreements also included typical covenants, events of default, and other investor protection features frequently found in structured convertible financing arrangements.

Note Amendments

As of June 30, 2025, an amendment was executed with the holder of the secured promissory note originally issued on October 22, 2024, which had an original principal balance of $1.4 million. Under the June amendment, the outstanding principal was increased to $2.1 million, and several key terms were revised. Key changes included (i) extending the maturity date to December 31, 2025, (ii) updating the conversion provisions to permit conversion at any time after the original issue date, subject to ownership limitations, (iii) modifying the conversion price to equal the price per share paid in the subsequent financing, and (iv) adding mandatory repayment provisions, including the application of proceeds from capital raises and scheduled monthly principal payments.

The amended instrument was evaluated under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and the changes were determined to be substantially different from the original terms. Accordingly, the amendment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, and the original note was derecognized and replaced with a new instrument measured at its fair value as of the amendment date. Unamortized original-issue discount and issuance costs associated with the extinguished note were removed, and the newly issued instrument will be amortized over its revised term ended December 31, 2025.

As of September 24, 2025, the Company entered into several waiver and amendment agreements with certain convertible note holders (the “Waivers”). The Waivers permitted the Company to complete a short-term financing transaction to address liquidity needs and amended the conversion and repayment terms of previously issued secured convertible notes. Key changes included (i) an extension in maturity date of the related note to December 31, 2025, (ii) an increase in the percentage of future capital-raise proceeds required to be applied to debt repayment, and (iii) termination or modification of existing lock-up provisions. (iv) and added prepayment provisions tied to proceeds from that offering and future capital raises.

As of January 30, 2026, the Company entered into extension and amendment agreements with the holders of three outstanding convertible notes originally issued in October and December 2024. Pursuant to the amendments, the maturity dates of the notes were extended from December 4, 2025 to June 4, 2026. As of January 30, 2026 the parties also acknowledged the remaining outstanding principal balances of approximately $1.4 million, $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In consideration of the extensions and the Company’s existing defaults under the notes, the holders agreed to apply an additional original issue discount of 25% to the remaining outstanding balances as of January 30, 2026, increasing the aggregate principal amounts to approximately $1.9 million, $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. All other terms of the notes remained substantially unchanged.

The Company evaluated the amended instruments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded that the changes did not result in substantially different terms. Accordingly, each amendment was accounted for as a modification of existing debt rather than an extinguishment. No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the amendments, and the effective interest rates were recalculated prospectively based on the revised cash-flow terms. The carrying amounts of the notes continue to include unamortized original-issue discount and issuance costs, which was amortized through the new maturity date of June 4, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, all amended instruments remained outstanding and continued to accrue interest and amortization in accordance with the updated terms.

Factoring agreement

As of March 31, 2026, $3.3 million of the Company’s total $11.6 million in notes payable relates to a factoring arrangement accounted for as a secured borrowing. Under the arrangement, accounts receivables with a carrying value of $3.9 million were pledged as collateral. The Company remains exposed to credit risk on the pledged receivables.
