Note 8 - Debt Instruments | Asset-Based Debt Financing On April 11, 2013, the Company executed a non-dilutive asset-based debt financing (the "Lender Financing") with a third party (the "Lender"). The Lender Financing for a line of credit, secured by all of the Company's assets. The Company's management also executed limited recourse guarantees with the Lender. Interest is payable monthly based on a floating interest rate determined based on a formula outlined in detail within the financing agreement. The Company anticipates the effective monthly interest rate charged on the outstanding balance owed to the third party will be between 3.2% and 1.1%. On January 22, 2016, the Company executed an addendum to the Lender Financing agreement whereby the maturity date has been extended to December 15, 2016 with interest calculated at Prime plus 15.25% per annum. In the event the facility is below $750,000 prior to March 15, 2016 the interest rate shall be Prime plus 12.5%; below $500,000 prior to June 15, 2016 the interest rate shall be Prime plus 10%. Vendor Convertible Note On November 1, 2012, the Company issued a convertible note for $140,000 (the "Vendor Note") to a former Vendor ("Vendor"). The Vendor Note was executed on November 1, 2012 and was immediately convertible into the Company's common stock at a 50% discount to the lowest bid price for the five days prior to the conversion date. As of August 31, 2015, the note was fully converted. Creditor #2 Convertible Promissory Notes In April 2014, the Creditor entered into an exchange agreement with another lender (the "Creditor #2") whereby the Creditor transferred the Creditor's notes and accrued interest to Creditor #2. In April, the Company entered into i) a note agreement for $284,560 representing amounts transferred from the Creditor; ii) two $125,000 notes in which the proceeds were received on the same date (collectively referred to as the "Creditor #2 Notes") with Creditor #2. The Creditor #2 Notes bear interest per annum at 10.0%, payable six months after the issuance date and are convertible on the date of issuance based upon based upon a 45% discount to lowest trading price, for the 15 trading days prior to conversion. As a result, the lower the stock price at the time the Creditor #2 converts the Creditor #2 Notes, the more common shares the Creditor #2 will receive. There were no conversions during the nine months ended May 31, 2016 and thus the remaining principal balance was $391,242 as of May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015. To the extent the Creditor #2 converts the Creditor #2 Notes and then sells its common stock, the market price of the common stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow the Creditor #2 to receive greater amounts of common stock upon conversion. The sale of each share of common stock could further depress the stock price. Due to the floating conversion price of the notes, the Company does not know the exact number of shares that the Creditor #2 would be issued upon conversion. The shares issuable upon conversion of the Creditor #2 Notes may result in substantial dilution to the interests of the Company's other shareholders. In this regard, even though the investor may not hold shares amounting to more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares at one time, this restriction does not prevent the investor from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares. In this way, the investor could sell more than the 9.99% limit while never holding more than the limit. During the nine months ended February 28, 2015, the Company amortized a discount of $62,500 to interest expense. As of August 31, 2015, the discount was fully amortized. Creditor #3 Convertible Promissory Note In December 2014, a convertible promissory note holder ("Holder") entered into an exchange agreement with another lender (the "Creditor #3") whereby the Holder transferred the Holder's notes and accrued interest to Creditor #3. In December 2014, the Company entered into i) a note agreement for $150,000 representing the principal amount transferred from the Holder. The Creditor #3 Note bears interest per annum at 10.0%, due on August 22, 2015 and is convertible on the date of issuance based upon based upon a 25% discount to lowest trading price, for the 5 trading days prior to conversion. As a result, the lower the stock price at the time the Creditor #3 converts the Creditor #3 Notes, the more common shares the Creditor #3 will receive. There were no conversions during the nine months ended May 31, 2016 and thus the remaining principal balance was $93,350 as of May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015. To the extent the Creditor #3 converts the Creditor #3 Note and then sells its common stock, the market price of the common stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow the Creditor #3 to receive greater amounts of common stock upon conversion. The sale of each share of common stock could further depress the stock price. Due to the floating conversion price of the notes, the Company does not know the exact number of shares that the Creditor #3 would be issued upon conversion. The shares issuable upon conversion of the Creditor #3 Note may result in substantial dilution to the interests of the Company's other shareholders. In this regard, even though the investor may not hold shares amounting to more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares at one time, this restriction does not prevent the investor from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares. In this way, the investor could sell more than the 4.99% limit while never holding more than the limit. Upon issuance, the Company recorded a discount of $150,000 due to the derivative liability, as discussed below in Note 9, having a fair market value in excess of the principal amount of the convertible note. As of August 31, 2015, the discount was fully amortized. Convertible Promissory Notes As of May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding 38 and 33 convertible promissory notes respectively issued between December 2011 and September 2015. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at either 4% or 8% per year and are due in full, including principal and interest, two-three years from the issuance date ranging from August 2014 to February 2018. The convertible promissory notes also include a conversion option whereby the holders may elect at any time to convert any portion or the entire balance into the Company's common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.0001 to $1.25. There were no transactions in which impacted the convertible notes payable during the nine months ended May 31, 2016, other than the accrual of interest. As of May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, the balance of convertible notes payable was $1,702,120 and $1,615,120 respectively. As of May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, convertible promissory notes outstanding of $1,153,964 and $1,068,964 respectively, are held by related parties.

For some of the convertible promissory notes, the conversion feature associated with the convertible promissory notes provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value. This conversion feature is accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature was recorded and classified as a debt discount on the balance sheet at the time of issuance of each convertible promissory note with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. In addition, six of the convertible promissory note purchasers were issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The valuation of the stock warrants and the beneficial conversion feature associated with the issuance of convertible promissory notes utilized valuation inputs and related figures provided by a professional and independent valuation firm. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds received from the convertible promissory notes to the warrants using the relative fair value resulting in a debt discount to each convertible promissory note. The discounts are amortized over the term of the convertible promissory note using the straight line method. The amortized value for each period is recorded as an offset against the debt discount on the balance sheet, classified as interest expense. During the nine months ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, $370,463 and $427,390 of the discounts were amortized to interest expense, respectively. As of May 31, 2016, $247,324 discounts remained which will be expensed in fiscal 2016 through 2018.
