Convertible Debt |

On various dates from October 2012 through March 2013 the Company entered into 2% Secured Convertible Promissory Note agreements (the “Prior Notes”) with certain of its investors and management. Pursuant to the Prior Notes, the Company issued an aggregate of $2,433,331 in principal and issued 833,333 warrants (the “Prior Note Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Prior Notes and Prior Note Warrants were amended in the second quarter of 2013 and converted under the amended terms. See below for further information. |
|
The Prior Notes were payable in full 54 months from date of issuance, if and to the extent they were not sooner paid or converted. The Prior Notes accrued simple interest at two percent (2%) per annum. The Prior Notes were guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by all of the assets of the Company and by a pledge of each subsidiary’s securities, subordinate only to the Massachusetts Development Financing Agency (“MDFA”) lien. The Prior Notes were convertible into common stock of the Company at $3.00 and $2.50 per share plus additional shares for any unpaid interest by the holders at any time prior to maturity. Of the total amount of the Prior Notes, $2,099,998 were convertible at $3.00, while $333,333 were convertible at $2.50. The Prior Notes could have been prepaid at any time at the option of the Company. |
|
The detachable Prior Note Warrants were exercisable at any time at an exercise price of $.01 per share and expire four (4) years from date of issuance. The fair value of the Prior Note Warrants has been determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate 0.48% - 0.63%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected life of 4 years, and volatility 40.4% - 44.9%. The proceeds of the Prior Notes have been discounted for the fair value of the Prior Note Warrants ($1,199,517) which was recorded in additional paid-in capital. The warrant discount is being amortized over the life of the Prior Notes using the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $2,862 of the warrant discount was amortized to interest expense. The total fair value allocated to the Prior Notes was amounted to $1,233,815 of which $1,143,961 has been allocated to a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF was recorded as a debt discount as the consideration allocated to the convertible security, divided by the number of common shares into which the security converts, was below the fair value of the common stock at the date of issuance of the convertible instruments. The BCF is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Prior Notes, using the effective interest method. Amortization of the BCF amounted to $2,861 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additionally, interest expense of $5,207 was accrued to the Prior Notes for the year ended December 31, 2012. |
|
As noted above during the second quarter of 2013 the Company entered into Amended Securities Purchase Agreements with certain of its investors and management for 2% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”). Pursuant to the Notes, the Company issued an aggregate of $5,633 331 in principal and issued 3,536,458 warrants (the “Note Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The $5,658,331 in total principal consists of $3,225,000 of additional funding and $2,433,331 in Prior Notes entered into during 2012 and during the first quarter of 2013 and amended under this agreement. The Notes are payable in full 54 months from date of issuance, if and to the extent they are not paid sooner or converted. The Notes accrue simple interest at two percent (2%) per annum. The Notes are initially convertible into common stock of the Company at $1.60 per share plus additional shares for any unpaid interest by the holders at any time prior to maturity. If the cash balance of the Company and its subsidiaries is less than $1,000,000 during the term of the Notes, the conversion rate will become $1.00. |
|
The Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by all of the assets of the Company and by a pledge of each subsidiary’s securities, subordinate to all other debt. |
|
The Note Warrants are exercisable at any time at an exercise price of $.01 per share and expire four (4) years from date of issuance. The proceeds of the Notes have been discounted for the fair value of the Note Warrants ($1,027,770) which was recorded as a warrant liability. The fair value of the warrant, which is required to be measured on a recurring basis, was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate .55%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected life of 3.4-4 years, and volatility 82.5%. The warrant discount is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. |
|
The Company evaluated the conversion feature of the Notes and determined that it met the conditions for bifurcation into a separate derivative liability (the “conversion feature”). The Company estimated the fair market value of the derivative liability to be $1,028,517 at inception, which was recorded as a liability and a discount to the Notes. The fair value of the conversion feature was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate 0.55%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected life of 3.94-4.5 years, and volatility 82.5%. The conversion feature discount is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. |
|
At closing of the Amended Securities Purchase Agreement, the unamortized warrant discount and BCF originally recorded with the Prior Notes and Note Warrants of $2,314,084 were written off to additional paid in capital on May 8, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, amortization of the BCF from the Prior Notes was $23,660. |
|
On September 15, 2013 the Company’s bank balance dropped below the $1,000,000 threshold required in the agreements resulting in a conversion rate change for the Notes and Note Warrants from $1.60 to $1.00. The Notes are now convertible into 5,658,331 shares of common stock and the holders of the Note Warrants now have the right to purchases 5,658,331 shares of common stock. All other terms and conditions of the Notes and Note Warrants are unchanged. |
|
The Company reassessed the bifurcated conversion liability and warrant liability that was recorded in May 2013 as a result of this financing to ensure that these derivatives were still properly classified. As a result of the change in conversion rate to a fixed $1.00, it was determined that both of these no longer met the requirements to be accounted for as liabilities, and as such, their fair values as of September 15, 2013 were transferred to equity. |
|
The Company estimated the fair market value of the bifurcated conversion liability at September 15, 2013 to be $805,964. The fair value of the conversion feature at September 15, 2013 was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate 1.02%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected life of 3.58-4.14 years, and volatility 99.97%. The Company recorded $258,865 as a change in fair value of liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations for the period from June 30, 2013 through September 15, 2013 and the $805,964 balance was then reclassified to additional paid in capital on September 15, 2013. The initial conversion feature discount calculated at inception of the Notes will continue to be amortized over the original life of the Notes using the effective interest method. |
|
The Company estimated the fair market value of the warrant liability at September 15, 2013 to be $806,283. The fair value of the conversion feature at September 15, 2013 was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate 1.02%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected life of 3.08-3.64 years, and volatility 108.3%. The Company recorded a credit to earnings of $258,132 as a change in fair value of liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations for the period from June 30, 2013 through September 15, 2013 and $806,283 was reclassified to additional paid in capital on September 15, 2013. The initial debt discount calculated at inception of the Notes will continue to be amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. |
|
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had accrued interest on the Notes of $65,696. Additionally, the Company had $18,674 of direct financing costs which was recorded as deferred financing costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. |

On October 13, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary, AMS Corp. entered into a series of agreements with MDFA related to financing for up to $2,000,000 loan for the purchase of equipment, including a Loan Agreement, a Term Note, a Security Agreement, and a Warrant. The actual principal amount was based on equipment purchased during the first six months or such longer period as the lender permitted. The loan bears interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum. The term of the loan is seven years and is repayable as follows: interest only for the first twelve months, and then constant payments of interest and principal during the following six year period. The loan is repayable in whole or part without penalty. The loan is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of AMS excluding intellectual property. In connection with this loan, the Company has certain covenants that are required to be maintained that may or may not result in default. The Company, in conjunction with the financing, granted a warrant to MDFA for 59,524 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.10. The $80,357 fair value of the warrants was recorded as a warrant liability with a corresponding amount as a discount to the debt. The fair value of the warrant, which is required to be measured on a recurring basis, was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate 2.0%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected life of 10 years, and volatility 65%. Additionally, the Company had $34,000 of direct financing costs which was recorded as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the term of the related debt. |

|
As a result of the debt financing in May 2013, the Warrant issued in October 2011 became subject to adjustment in terms of exercise price and number of shares. The exercise price was adjusted from $2.10 to $1.35, which resulted in an increase in the number of shares of common stock of the Company exercisable in the Warrant grant to MDFA from 59,524 to 92,472 shares. |

Until such payment is made, the Company must accrue an additional 3% annual interest on the outstanding principal balance. This accrued interest is to be paid in addition to the lump sum. MDFA also executed a subordination agreement that makes this loan subordinate to the Hercules Loan (discussed further below). MDFA was also granted an additional warrant to purchase 59,524 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $.10 with a term of 10 years. The $15,330 fair value of the warrant was recorded as a warrant liability with a corresponding amount as a discount to the debt. The fair value of the warrant, which is required to be measured on a recurring basis, was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of 1.81%, dividend yield of 0.0%, expected life of 10 years, and volatility of 66%. |
