| [B] | These notes payable (the “Promissory Notes”) originally became due on February 28, 2007. The Company renewed $283,000 of the Promissory Notes on the same terms and conditions as previously existed. In April 2007 the Company, through a financial advisor, restructured $1,825,000 of the Promissory Notes (the “Restructured Notes”). The Company has accrued an expense of $36,500 to compensate the financial advisor 2% of the Restructured Notes as well as having issued 150,000 shares of common stock to the financial advisor. The Restructured Notes carry a stated interest rate of 15% (a default rate of 20%) and matured on February 28, 2008. The Company has not paid the interest due since June 2007, and no principal payments on the Promissory Notes have been made since 2008 and accordingly, they are in default. Accrued interest on these notes total $3,119,686 and is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. | | | | | | |

The chairman of the board of the Company has personally guaranteed up to $1 million of the Restructured Notes and two other non-related individuals each guaranteed $500,000 of the Restructured Notes. In consideration of their guarantees the Company granted warrants to purchase a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants were valued at $715,200 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and were amortized over the one-year term of the Restructured Notes. The warrants expired in March 2010. |
|
In January 2008, the Company and the three guarantors received a complaint filed by the financial advisor (acting as agent for the holders of the Restructured Notes) and the holders of the Restructured Notes. The claim is seeking $1,946,250 plus per diem interest beginning January 22, 2008 at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum plus $37,000 due the financial advisor for unpaid fees. The court has ruled in favor of a motion for summary judgment filed by certain of the plaintiffs and a judgment was entered on August 18, 2009 in the total amount of $2,482,922 in principal and interest on the notes, $40,920 in related claims and $124,972 in attorney’s fees and expenses. The Company is not aware of any payments being made by any of the guarantors and accordingly, the Company includes these liabilities on the September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 balance sheets promissory notes payable and accrued expenses. |

The Company has determined that the conversion features of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Notes represent embedded derivatives since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion features must be bifurcated from the debt hosts and accounted for as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments have been recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amounts recorded as a discounts to the Notes. Such discounts will be accreted from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liabilities for derivative contracts will be recorded to other income or expenses in the consolidated statement of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. |
|
The fair value of the conversion features embedded in the 2014 Notes as of their dates of issuance and in their entirety as of September 30, 2014 was determined to approximate their fair intrinsic value due to the terms of conversion. |
|
The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities are considered to be level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. |
|
A summary of the derivative liabilities related to convertible notes as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 is as follows: |
