Unsecured Convertible Debentures |
|
The Company completed various sales through private placements of senior convertible debentures to accredited investors. The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.26 per share on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment. A consent and waiver was obtained from the majority of the Series A and C Preferred holders and a waiver was obtained from a majority of the Series B Preferred holders as required in the certificate of designation. From September 2012 through February 2013, the investors in our 2011 private placements consented to a partial anti-dilution adjustment in conversion price to $0.90 per share in the event of the minimum offering being achieved in a private placement of common stock and warrants. In February 2013, the minimum offering was achieved resulting in an adjusted conversion price of $0.90 per share for a total of 2,072,654 common shares on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and related distributions |
|
As part of the private placements, the investors received warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were initially exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $1.512, subject to adjustment (see Note 6 Stock Warrants for further details). The investor may exercise the warrant on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. The outstanding warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share. Accordingly, the fair value of the stock warrants is classified as a warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |

HCI |
|
The Company issued an aggregate total of $1,000,000 in senior convertible debentures to Hillair Capital Investment, Inc. (“HCI”) during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2013, the debentures and related interest were past due. In February 2014, the Company entered into and Amended and Restated 10% Senior Convertible Debenture due June 30, 2016 with HCI in the amount of $1,150,000. The amendment relates to convertible debentures originally issued on May 16, 2011, August 22, 2011, November 30, 2011 and July 19, 2012 for an aggregate total of $1,000,000 in debentures. In addition to the extension of the maturity date, the interest rate was reduced from 16.0% to 10.0% per annum, and the conversion price was decreased from $0.90 to $0.75. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to increase the principal amount of the debenture by $150,000 which represents eighteen months of interest due at the stated rate of 10% per annum. As a result, all interest accruable and payable between February 7, 2014 and August 8, 2015 is considered paid in full and satisfied. In addition, the Company issued 420,694 shares of common stock as payment of accrued interest of $252,417 at a rate of $0.60 per share. Further interest will not begin accruing until August 8, 2015. As part of the amendment, the exercise price of the related warrants was reduced from $0.90 to $0.75 resulting in the issuance of an additional 320,000 warrants per the warrant agreement terms. |
|
Since the Company is experiencing financial difficulties and the debenture holder has granted a concession, the transaction met the requirement for troubled debt accounting treatment. Management compared the value of the accrued interest to the fair value of the common stock resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $213,433 or $0.09 per common share. |
|
AQR & CNH |
|
In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate total of $300,000 in senior convertible debentures to AQR Opportunistic Premium Offshore Fund, LP (“AQR”) and CNH Diversified Opportunities Master Account, LP (“CNH”). Due to our current financial condition, we did not make the periodic redemption payments of $75,000 due on June 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012 and the final payment due of $150,000 on or before December 1, 2012. Upon default, amounts owed become immediately payable to the debenture holder upon issuance of a notice of default. The debenture holders have issued a notice of default relating to our failure to make the periodic redemption payments on June 1, 2012 or September 1, 2012 or the final payment of $150,000 due on December 1, 2012 under the debenture agreement. In August 2013, the two holders filed a lawsuit against the Company for payment of past due amounts (See Note 9 Legal Matters for further details). In March 2014, the issuance of warrants to Series D Preferred Stock holders as part of the milestone provision with an effective conversion price of $0.40 per share qualified as a dilutive issuance per the terms of the convertible debenture. No waivers were obtained from the two debenture holders that were holding an aggregate total of $300,000 debentures. The anti-dilution adjustment reduced the conversion price from $0.50 to $0.40 per share. The amounts due on the debentures are classified as current at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |

Coventry |
|

In March 2014, the issuance of warrants to Series D Preferred Stock holders as part of the milestone provision with an effective conversion price of $0.40 per share qualified as a dilutive issuance per the terms of the convertible. No waivers were obtained from Coventry debenture holders that were holding an aggregate total of $200,000 debentures. The anti-dilution adjustment reduced the conversion price on the debenture from $0.50 to $0.40 per share. |
