12% Convertible Debentures |
In February 2014, we initiated a $1,000,000 offering of convertible debt ("12% Convertible Debentures") to fund our |
ongoing working capital needs. Terms of the 12% Convertible Debentures were as follows: (i) $100,000 per unit with interest at |
a rate of 12% per annum payable monthly with a maturity of three years from the date of issuance; (ii) convertible at any time |
prior to maturity at $0.75 per share of the Company's common stock; (iii) each unit included a three-year warrant to purchase up to 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share for a period of three years from the effective date of the warrant; and, (iv) an anti-dilution provision that requires a reduction in the conversion price should subsequent at-market issuances of the Company’s common stock be issued below the stated conversion price. As of March 31, 2014, we had raised $250,000 under the 12% Convertible Debenture offering including warrants to purchase up to 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock. |
Promissory Notes |
In January 2014, we entered into a $100,000 secured promissory note agreement with an unrelated third party to provide working capital to the Company. The secured promissory note was due four months from the date of issuance. Under the terms of the secured promissory note, the loan paid interest at a rate of 18%, plus an accommodation fee, which, including the interest payable under the loan, was an amount ranging from $5,000 to $20,000, (depending upon the number of months the secured promissory note remained outstanding), plus 12,500 shares of the Company's common stock. In February 2014, the holder of the secured promissory note transferred its principal due under the agreement to the Company's 12% Convertible Debentures and the secured promissory note was deemed paid in full. |
In February 2014, we entered into two $100,000 secured bridge loans ("Secured Bridge Loans") with two unrelated third parties to provide working capital to the Company. Under the terms of the Secured Bridge Loans, principal was due in forty days with interest payable at 18%, plus an accommodation fee, such that combined with the interest due and payable, a sum equal to $20,000 plus 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock was paid. In March 2014, in consideration of the issuance of an additional 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock, the maturity date of both Secured Bridge Loans was extended. In April 2014, the Company made a partial payment totaling $140,000 on the Secured Bridge Loans. In May 2014, one of the Secured Bridge Loans was paid in full. At June 30, 2014, amounts due under the remaining Secured Bridge Loan totaled $20,700, of which $15,700 represents accrued and unpaid interest. |
In connection with the acquisition of Francis Drilling Fluids, Inc. ("FDF"), on November 23, 2010, we issued a promissory note payable to a former interest holder of FDF in the face amount of $750,000. The note is an unsecured, non-interest bearing loan that requires quarterly payments of $37,500 and matures October 1, 2015. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded the note as a discounted debt of $214,330 and $200,051 respectively, using an imputed interest rate of 9%. |
In November 2013, we entered into a promissory note with a third party to finance premiums related to certain insurance policies. The promissory note bears an annual interest rate of 5.7% with principal and interest payments of $8,109 due monthly through maturity in August 2014. |
In December 2012, we entered into an unsecured, non-interest bearing promissory note with a former vendor in the amount of $342,500 as a settlement for outstanding payables due to the former vendor. The promissory note required an initial payment of $75,000 with monthly payments of $7,431 due through maturity, on December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded the promissory note as a discounted debt of $140,848 and $160,969, respectively, using an imputed interest rate of 7.5%. |
We also have a secured equipment loan outstanding that requires a monthly principal and interest payment based on a fixed interest rate of 7.5% and matures in March of 2016. |
