2013 Notes |
|
From January to May 2013, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,487,000, originally due December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Notes”). |
|
The 2013 Notes bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum, mature on December 31, 2013 and ranked senior to the Company’s currently issued and outstanding indebtedness and equity securities. Upon the closing by the Company of an equity or equity based financing or a series of equity or equity based financings (a “Qualified Financing”) resulting in gross proceeds to us of at least $3,500,000 in the aggregate, inclusive of the 2013 Notes, the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (the “Outstanding Balance”) would have automatically converted into such securities, including warrants, as are issued in the Qualified Financing, the amount of which shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: (the Outstanding Balance as of the closing of the Qualified Financing) x (1.15) / (the per security price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing). Commencing six months following the issuance date of the 2013 Notes, the noteholders have the right, at their option, to convert the Outstanding Balance into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. |
|
Along with the 2013 Notes, we also issued to the noteholders an aggregate of 148,700 detachable warrants. The warrants had an original exercise price of $3.00 per share and can be exercised within a four-year period. |
|
On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into certain amendments to its outstanding 2013 Notes with the holders of an aggregate of $1,387,000 principal amount of 2013 Notes (the “Amendments”), whereby the holders of the 2013 Notes extended the maturity date of the 2013 Notes to June 30, 2014 from December 31, 2013. In consideration for entering into the Amendments, the Company (i) reduced the conversion price of the 2013 Notes to $1.50 per share from $2.50 per share, (ii) reduced the exercise price for an aggregate of 128,700 warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the 2013 Notes to $2.10 per share from $3.00 per share, (iii) issued an aggregate of 92,468 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2.10 per share and a term of four years, and (iv) issued an aggregate of 92,468 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended May 31, 2014, the Company repaid the principal amount of $100,000 plus accrued interest of $8,828 of 2013 Notes to a holder thereof. |
|
The Company determined the Amendments constituted a substantive modification of the notes and, as a result, we accounted for this transaction as extinguishment of debt instrument and the issuance of a new debt instrument (“Amended 2013 Notes”), which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $32,853 being recognized. The loss on extinguishment was computed as follows: |
|
Fair value of Amended 2013 Notes (1) | | $ | 1,243,482 | |
Fair value of non-cash consideration issued to the creditor (2) | | | 269,707 | |
Reacquisition price | | | 1,513,189 | |
Carrying value of the debt at modification | | | 1,480,336 | |
Loss on extinguishment | | $ | 32,853 | |
|
(1) Fair value was determined using level 2 inputs, specifically prices for a subsequent issuance of comparable debt instruments. |
(2) Consist of $143,325 fair value of common stock issued and $126,382 fair value of warrants issued and warrants modified. The warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes model with the following inputs: (1) a discount rate of 1.27%; (2) an expected term of 4.00 years; (3) an expected volatility of 121%; and (4) zero expected dividends. |

During the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded $159,647 of accretion expense related to the Amended 2013 Notes. |
