Convertible debentures

 

The Company’s convertible debt comprises the 9% private placement debentures and the seller convertible note issued in the acquisition. The combined carrying value was $918,237 at June 30, 2026, of which $670,711 is classified as current and $247,526 as non-current.

 

9% private placement debentures

 

On July 1, 2024, the Board authorized a private placement of unsecured 9% convertible debentures with 24-month maturities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000. The debentures are convertible into common stock at the lower of $0.75 per share or a 20% discount to the trailing volume-weighted average price, subject to a floor of $0.50 per share. At June 30, 2026, $530,000 of principal was outstanding. All outstanding debentures mature within twelve months of the balance sheet date and are therefore classified as current. Accrued interest was $69,116 at June 30, 2026. Interest expense on the debentures was $11,892 and $23,654 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Seller convertible note

 

In connection with the acquisition the Company issued a $450,000 convertible note to Arcadia. The note bears interest at 0.00% per annum, increasing to 8.00% upon an event of default, and is payable in three equal annual installments of $150,000 on April 1, 2027, 2028 and 2029. The note is convertible at the holder’s option into common stock at $0.75 per share and contains a cross-default to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Because the note is non-interest-bearing, it was recorded at its present value of $379,694 using an imputed interest rate of 9%, resulting in a discount of $70,306 that is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Accretion was $8,543 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the carrying value was $388,237 at June 30, 2026, of which $140,711 is classified as current and $247,526 as non-current.

Flipside AI has borrowings from Philippine financial institutions and a shareholder totaling $607,918 at June 30, 2026. Based on the stated maturities of the individual facilities, $558,700 is classified as current and $49,218 as non-current. Interest expense on these borrowings was $30,740 for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

The remaining $413,760 is owed to individual lenders rather than to financial institutions and consists of three unsecured term loans bearing interest at 15.0% per annum ($93,810, $27,755 and $47,729), an unsecured interest-only loan from a member of the Company's board of directors, bearing interest at 12.5% per annum ($81,489), two unsecured interest-only loans bearing interest at 16.0% per annum ($40,744 each) and two unsecured interest-only loans bearing interest at 10.0% per annum ($48,893 and $32,596). All of the facilities mature within twelve months of the balance sheet date other than the First Circle loan of $49,218, which matured in August 2027. An unsecured loan from a relative of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, was repaid in full on May 19, 2026. See Note 10.
