During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, pursuant to a private placement offering of units that commenced on October 4, 2012 (the “Private Placement”), the Company received an aggregate of $3,501,975 of proceeds related to the sale of 3,501,975 units at a price of $1.00 per unit. The aggregate amount includes $500,000, which was received from an officer, and $850,002, which was received during the fourth quarter of 2012 and classified as restricted cash as of December 31, 2012. Each unit consists of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase three shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, such that warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,505,925 shares of common stock were issued. Substantially all of the proceeds from the sale of the units were used by the Company to satisfy all of its obligations under the convertible notes and notes (see Notes 5 and 6). In connection with the Private Placement, an officer has entered into repurchase agreements with certain purchasers of units, pursuant to which he has agreed to repurchase, subject to certain conditions, one-half of these holder’s units at a purchase price of $1.00 per unit if the closing price of the Common Stock is less than $0.25 on five consecutive trading days at any time within one year of February 1, 2013. Cape Bear, which holds a substantial equity position in the Company, also entered into repurchase agreements with certain purchasers, other than the officer, that are substantially similar to the officer’s agreements, except that Cape Bear’s obligations are secured by a lien over certain real estate. |

On March 13, 2013, the Company exchanged $761,000 of notes payable and other advances – related parties and $72,000 of accounts payable to a related party into an aggregate of 833,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit. Each unit consists of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase two and three-quarters shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (such that warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,290,750 shares of common stock were issued). The $3,625,900 aggregate fair value of the securities issued ($2,639,700 related to the warrants and $986,200 related to the common stock) was credited to equity at conversion. The Company recorded a $2,792,900 extinguishment loss which represents the incremental fair value of the securities issued as compared to the carrying value of the liabilities. |

Series B Preferred Stock |
|
On January 1, 2013, the Company issued 27,630 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $261,084, representing approximately $0.66 in value per share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stockholders as payment in kind for dividends (the “2013 Series B Dividend”). In connection with the 2013 Series B Dividend, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $202,305 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which represents the difference between the commitment date value of the shares and the effective conversion price. In connection with the outstanding preferred stock, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $69,840 and $209,520 as contractual dividends, respectively, and recorded $65,271 and $195,813 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, February 1, 2013, March 13, 2013 and April 11, 2013, Series B holders were entitled to convert into 5.00, 7.61, 8.07 and 8.14 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock due to the anti-dilution provision. The anti-dilution provision represents a contingent beneficial conversion feature. As of September 30, 2013, an incremental 1,326,700 shares of common stock are issuable at conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as compared to the original terms. Using the commitment date common stock price in effect, the commitment date value of the incremental shares is $3,348,975. However, recognition of beneficial conversion features is limited to the aggregate gross proceeds allocated to the preferred stock of $3,199,689 (422,315 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock times $9.45 per share less the proceeds allocated to the warrants of $791,188) less the $1,666,967 beneficial conversion feature already recognized on the original 365,265 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (prior to the issuance of additional shares as payment-in-kind in lieu of cash dividends) and the $202,305 recognized related to the 2013 Series B Dividend. Due to these limitations, a beneficial conversion feature of $0 and $1,330,417 related to the incremental shares was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. |
|
Series C Preferred Stock |
|
On February 13, 2013, the Company received a Notice of Redemption of Series C Preferred Stock. As a result of the Convertible Notes coming due and not being paid on December 31, 2012, the Company accelerated the accretion rate of the deemed dividend on the Redeemable Preferred Stock – Series C and reclassified the Redeemable Preferred Stock – Series C from temporary equity to current liabilities. The Company recorded Series C deemed dividends of $247,774 and $433,606 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the discount associated with the Series C Preferred Stock was fully amortized. |
