2007 subscription agreement debentures. During 2007, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors for the sale of 18.1 units issuing $905,000 convertible promissory notes, 4,525 common shares and 9,050 warrants (adjusted for the 200-to-one reverse stock split) to purchase an equivalent number of common shares in exchange for proceeds of $905,000.  The warrants are exercisable at $200 per share (adjusted for the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) over a five year period from issuance.  These convertible promissory notes matured one year from the date of issuance.  The Company is in default with regard to this obligation.
 
Each convertible promissory note issued in the subscription agreements had a term of one year and was not repaid.  Due to the default and reset of the conversion price to 80% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock five days prior to the default, the Company tested each convertible promissory note for an incremental beneficial conversion feature.  The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the default date for each convertible promissory note was April 30, 2008.  The calculation of the conversion rate to common shares on such date was $0.0146 of principal outstanding to one share of common stock (now $2.912 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  Based on the default provisions, as of September 30, 2011, noteholders may convert their principal balance into 273,867 common shares (shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  Further, as of September 30, 2011, noteholders may convert accrued interest into 149,368 common shares (shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  Unless the Company declares a stock dividend, or there is some other re-capitalization of the Company, such as a stock split or reverse stock split, the conversion price established at the default date will not change.
  
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, holders of 1.65 units with principal of $82,500 and accrued interest of $30,618 converted into 400,445 common shares (shares after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) at a weighted average conversion rate of $0.2825.  Due to differences between the default date conversion rate of $0.0146 of principal outstanding to one share of common stock (now $2.912 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) and the actual conversion rated granted to these noteholders of $0.2825, the Company incurred a charge for the conversion price adjustment to induce the conversion to equity in the amount of $183,952.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $797,500 and $880,000 of principal outstanding on these convertible promissory notes, respectively.
 
The convertible promissory notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, and all principal and interest was due on the first anniversary of their issuance date.  These notes were convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of each holder at (1) $0.25 per share, or (2) a 20% discount to the price per share issued in a financing transaction of at least $2,000,000, or (3) in the event of default, the conversion price would be adjusted to equal 80% of the Company’s average closing stock price during the five trading days prior to default.  Due to default, interest began to accrue at 15% per annum beginning one year from the date of issuance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, interest expense accrued related to these convertible promissory notes was $91,888.  At September 30, 2011, total accrued interest expense amounted to $434,959.

The subscription agreements for these debentures contain a registration rights penalty whereby, commencing upon six months from an initial unit sale and, for each monthly period thereafter that the common stock and the common stock underlying the warrants are not registered, the Company will issue 4,167 warrants per unit as a penalty to the subscription holder.  The Company failed to file a registration statement and consequently, beginning August 2007, the Company began valuing 4,167 warrants per outstanding unit as a penalty.  The penalty warrants have been determined to be a derivative instrument.  For the period ended September 30, 2011, the fair value of the penalty warrants and the fair value of the previously issuable warrants have been determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  See Note 9 – Derivative Instruments for changes in the fair value of these derivatives. The aggregate value of the new penalty warrants issued for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $1,250.  Changes in fair value for the previously issued warrant derivative liabilities amounted to an adjustment of $9,782 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, resulting in these warrant derivative liabilities to be carried at their fair values of $1,028 at September 30, 2011.
  
A current member of the Company’s Board of Directors directly owns convertible promissory notes which provide for conversion into 250 common shares and 500 warrants to purchase common shares.  Parties directly and indirectly related to this director own convertible promissory notes convertible into 1,500 common shares and 3,000 warrants to purchase common shares (share and warrant amounts after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).

First quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On February 16, 2010 and March 23, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with Granite Financial Group (“Granite”) to issue convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $400,000 and warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common stock (100,000 shares after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) in exchange for the return of 33,333,333 common shares (166,667 shares after to the reverse split) and cash proceeds of $200,000, less a selling commission of $16,000.  The debentures mature two years from the date of issuance and were initially convertible at any time within that period at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.0066 per share ($1.32 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten days immediately prior to conversion, but such conversion price would not be below $0.003 per share ($0.60 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  The warrants were initially exercisable over three years from the date of issuance at $0.01 per share ($2.00 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  On May 13, 2010, in conjunction with the issuance of the second quarter 2010 convertible debentures, the Company exchanged the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures and warrants, effectively amending the floor price to $0.0015 per share ($0.30 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) and extending the exercise period of the warrants to seven years from May 13, 2010.

Due to the triggering of anti-dilution provisions in the agreements, the conversion price of the debt and the exercise price of the warrants has adjusted to $0.80 per share , $0.67 per share, $0.60 per share, $0.15  per share and $0.10 per share on September 16, 2010, November 16, 2010, March 4, 2011, March 31, 2011 and May 4, 2011, respectively.  (The adjusted per share prices described above reflect the 200-to-1 reverse stock split.)
  
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, Granite converted $87,500 of principal into 132,576 shares of our common stock (shares after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) at an exchange price of $0.66 per share (per share amount after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  During the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, Granite converted $21,000 and $3,000 of principal into 140,000 and 30,000 common shares at conversion prices per share of $0.15 and $0.10, respectively.  During the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, Granite converted $30,000, $59,500 and $5,000 of principal into 300,000, 595,000 and 50,000 common shares at $0.10 per share.  As of September 30, 2011, the principal outstanding on the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures was $194,000.
 
On October 5, 2011, Granite provided a notice of conversion to convert $10,000 of principal in to 100,000 common shares.  These shares were issued on November 4, 2011.  On November 18, 2011, after Granite provided notice of conversion to convert $16,800 of principal, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares.  As of the date of these financial statements, the principal outstanding on the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures was $167,200.
  
These convertible debentures initially accrued interest at 8% per annum, payable annually on or before December 31, beginning on the first such date after the issue date.  On May 13, 2010, in conjunction with the issuance of the second quarter 2010 convertible debentures, the Company exchanged the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures amending the interest rate to 10% if paid in cash, or 12% if paid in equivalent shares of common stock, at the Company’s option, and extended the maturity date to May 13, 2012.  For the three quarterly periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company accrued interest expense at 12% and 10% in the amounts of $26,319 and $23,667, respectively, related to these convertible debentures.  For 2011, the Company has assumed interest will be paid with new issuances of common stock.
  
In March 2011, the Company issued 65,057 shares of common stock (share amount after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) valued at $57,250 as payment for interest accrued on the first, second and third quarter 2010 convertible debentures through December 31, 2010 at 12% per annum.  

At each 2010 commitment date, due to anti-dilution provisions in the convertible debentures, the Company determined that the conversion feature contained an embedded derivative.  The Company recognized an aggregate conversion feature of $940,593, which was recorded as a derivative liability with an offset to discount on convertible notes and interest expense.  After consideration of the relative fair value of the warrants, a discount related to the conversion features was recorded as an offset to the carrying amount of the convertible debentures and was limited to $228,392.  The remainder of $712,201 was charged to interest expense upon issuance during the first quarter of 2010.  The discount is being amortized over the two year term of the debenture.  As of September 30, 2011, the unamortized discount was $69,320.

At each issuance in 2010, the Company determined the relative fair value of the warrants to be $171,608 and recorded this amount as a discount to the carrying amount of the convertible debentures with an offset to derivative liability.  The Company began amortizing the debt discount over the two year term of the debentures.  Additionally, due to anti-dilution provisions in the warrants, the Company determined that the warrants contained an embedded derivative due to the possibility of issuance of additional warrants.  The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the warrant derivative liability to be $311,488 and recorded $139,880 as additional interest expense on the issuance dates.
  
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization of the conversion feature and warrant discounts related to the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures, including adjustments for the conversion of note principal to common stock, amounted to $171,305 and $63,137, respectively.  See Note 9 – Derivative Instruments, for the 2011 changes to the fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the conversion features and the warrants.

Second quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On May 13, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with Granite and an investor to issue convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $150,000 and warrants to purchase 7,500,000 shares of common stock (37,500 shares after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) for cash proceeds of $150,000 less a selling commission of $12,000.  The debentures mature two years from the date of issuance and are convertible at any time within that period at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.0066 per share ($1.32 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for ten days immediately prior to conversion.  The conversion price was adjusted to $0.66 per common share (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split), but such conversion price shall not be below $0.30 ( after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  The warrants are exercisable over seven years.
 
These convertible debentures accrue interest at 10% per annum if paid in cash or 12% per annum if paid in equivalent shares of common stock.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company accrued interest expense at 12% in the amount of $13,500 related to these convertible debentures.  As described above, the Company issued shares in March 2011 as payment for interest accrued on the first, second and third quarter 2010 convertible debentures through December 31, 2010.
  
At the commitment date, due to anti-dilution provisions in the convertible debentures, the Company determined that the conversion feature contained an embedded derivative.  The Company recognized an aggregate conversion feature of $281,251 which was recorded as a derivative liability with an offset to discount on convertible notes and interest expense in the second quarter of 2010.  After consideration of the relative fair value of the warrants of $57,691, a discount related to the conversion features was recorded as an offset to the carrying amount of the convertible debentures and was limited to $92,309.  The remainder of $138,462 was charged to interest expense during 2010.  The discount is being amortized over the two year term of the debenture.  As of September 30, 2011, the unamortized discount was $46,301.

As of May 13, 2010, the Company determined the relative fair value of the warrants to be $57,691 and recorded this amount as a discount to the carrying amount of the convertible debentures with an offset to derivative liability. The Company began amortizing the debt discount over the two year term of the debentures.  Additionally, due to anti-dilution provisions in the warrants, the Company determined that the warrants contained an embedded derivative due to the possibility of issuance of additional warrants.  The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the warrant derivative liability to be $93,746 and recorded $86,535 as additional interest expense on the issuance date.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization of the conversion feature and warrant discounts related to the second quarter 2010 convertible debentures amounted to $56,250 and $17,661, respectively. See Note 9– Derivative Instruments for the 2011 changes to the fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the conversion features and the warrants.

Third quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On July 22, 2010, the Company entered an agreement with Granite to issue convertible debentures in the amount of $100,000 and warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock (25,000 shares after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) for cash proceeds of $100,000 less a selling commission of $8,000.  The debentures mature two years from the date of issuance and are convertible at any time within that period.  The conversion price is currently $0.66 per common share (per share amount after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  The warrants are exercisable over seven years at $0.66 per share (per share amount after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).

These convertible debentures accrue interest at 10% per annum if paid in cash or 12% per annum if paid in equivalent shares of common stock.  For the nine month ended September 30, 2011, the Company accrued interest expense at 12% in the amount of $9,000 related to these convertible debentures.  As described above, the Company issued shares in March 2011 as payment for interest accrued on the first, second and third quarter 2010 convertible debentures through December 31, 2010.

At the commitment date, due to anti-dilution provisions in the convertible debentures, the Company determined that the conversion feature contained an embedded derivative.  The Company recognized an aggregate conversion feature of $271,894 which was recorded as a derivative liability with an offset to discount on convertible notes and interest expense during the third quarter of 2010.  After consideration of the relative fair value of the warrants of $35,482, a discount related to the conversion features was recorded as an offset to the carrying amount of the convertible debentures and was limited to $64,518.  The remainder of $146,385 was charged to interest expense during 2010.  The discount is being amortized over the two year term of the debenture.  As of September 30, 2011, the unamortized discount was $42,466.
 
As of July 22, 2010, the Company determined the relative fair value of the warrants to be $35,482 and recorded this amount as a discount to the carrying amount of the convertible debentures with an offset to derivative liability. The Company began amortizing the debt discount over the two year term of the debentures.  Additionally, due to anti-dilution provisions in the warrants, the Company determined that the warrants contained an embedded derivative due to the possibility of issuance of additional warrants.  The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the warrant derivative liability to be $54,996 and recorded $80,506 as additional interest expense on the issuance date.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization of the conversion feature and warrant discounts related to the third quarter 2010 convertible debentures amounted to $36,986 and $5,303, respectively.  See Note 9 – Derivative Instruments for the 2011 changes to the fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the conversion features and the warrants.

Granite Financial – notes.  In October and November 2010, the Company entered into two short-term, promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $160,000 and received proceeds of $152,000. The promissory notes bear interest at 12% per annum, and at 16% per annum in the event of default.  The full amount of principal and interest on the promissory notes was initially due on January 12, 2011.  As additional consideration for entering into the note agreements, the Company issued 32,000,000 shares of its common stock (160,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) valued at $260,000, based on the closing price for the Company’s common stock on the date of the agreement.  Based on the relative fair values of the notes and common shares, the Company recorded debt discounts aggregating $98,963 on the dates of issuance.  For the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company amortized $84,578 of the debt discounts to interest expense leaving unamortized debt discounts of $14,385 at December 31, 2010.  During January 2011, the Company amortized the remaining $14,385 to interest expense.  On February 1, 2011, the maturity date of the notes was extended to April 12, 2011.  In connection with the extension of maturity date of the notes, the Company issued to Granite Financial Group (“Granite”) another 32,000,000 shares of common stock (160,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) on February 2, 2011.  These shares were valued at $147,200 on the date of issuance.

In May 2011, the Company agreed to extend the due date on these loans from April to June 17, 2011, in exchange for the issuance of 92,857 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share over a seven year exercise period.  These warrants were valued at $37,143 on the date of issuance and were charged to interest expense with an offset to additional paid in capital.  In June 2011, the due date on these two notes was extended to July 17, 2011, in consideration for the issuance of 232,143 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share over a seven year exercise period.  These warrants were valued at $64,977 on the date of issuance and were charged to interest expense with an offset to additional paid in capital.
 
On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange the $60,000 and $100,000 short-term notes plus accrued interest of $14,900 for a new $174,900 convertible note.  This convertible note bears interest at 12% per annum and matures on December 26, 2012.  The principal may be converted at any time the principal remains outstanding at the option of the noteholder at a conversion price of $0.02 per share.  The Company determined that this exchange constituted a significant modification in terms (in excess of 10% when comparing the fair value of the old notes with the fair value of the new note), and therefore an extinguishment of debt.  Accordingly, the Company accounted for this exchange at the fair value of the new debt.  The Company determined the fair value of the new debt on the date of the agreement to be $1,837,872 (determined by adding the present value of the principal, interest and an estimate of the fair value of the conversion feature using the Black Scholes option pricing model, and using the closing trading price on August 23, 2011 of $0.21 per share, the conversion price of $0.02, and assuming maturity of December 26, 2012, a stock price volatility of 144.17%, and a risk free rate of $0.10), and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,662,972 with an offset to debt premium.  The debt premium will be amortized over the 16 month term of the loan.  For the period ended September 30, 2011, after accounting for the conversions of principal (see below), the Company amortized $271,587 of the debt premium, leaving the balance outstanding of the note and the unamortized premium at $1,391,385 at September 30, 2011.
 
On September 14, 20 and 30, 2011, Granite provided the Company with notices of conversion to convert $9,000, $4,000 and $2,000 of principal into 450,000, 200,000 and 100,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at the conversion price of $0.02 per share.  These shares were issued in October and November 2011.  As of September 30, 2011, the balance on the note outstanding was $159,900, and the Company carried an obligation to issue common shares in the amount of $15,000. On October 28, 2011, in exchange for the issuance of 10,000 shares of common stock, Granite agreed to limit its sales of the Company’s common stock to the greater of 20% of the total trading volume on a given day or 20% of the average trading volume over the five previous trading days until the Company’s common stock trades above $0.20 per share.  In addition, Granite agreed to waive any defaults with regard to the Granite securities.

On November 3 and 11, 2011, Granite provided additional notices of conversion to convert $12,000 and $16,000 of principal into 600,000 and 800,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at the conversion price of $0.02 per share.  As of the date of these financial statements, the balance outstanding on the note was $131,900.
 
Lanktree – Note 1. On September 28, 2007, the Company issued a promissory note to Lanktree Consulting Corporation (“Lanktree” or “Lender 1”) in the aggregate principal amount of $267,500 (“Note 1”) and received cash proceeds in the sum of $250,000.  All principal and interest accruing under Note 1 was due March 28, 2008.  The Company did not meet its obligations under this note and as a result entered into an event of default.  For failure to pay principal or interest on the due date or to perform on the conditions contained in Note 1, Lanktree, at its option, had the option to declare the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest immediately due and payable.  As a result of the event of default, interest was accruing at the rate of 6.0% per month on the unpaid obligation and was payable in cash and shares of our common stock.  The Company disputed Lanktree’s calculation of principal and interest, primarily with regard to the compounding of interest and the monthly addition to principal for unpaid interest.
 
In July 2010, the Company and Lanktree settled on the principal and amount of cash interest due on Note 1 at $580,000 and a commitment for the issuance of common shares.  Further, the settlement specifies that interest on the new principal amount shall cease to accrue for a period of 180 days from July 13, 2010.  As part of the settlement, the parties agreed that at any time after 180 days, the holder of the note now had the right, but not the obligation, to convert any portion of the $580,000 principal, and accrued interest if any, and any fees which may become the responsibility of the Company, into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.004 per share ($0.80 per common share after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  On September 22, 2010, the parties amended the agreement to allow for conversion of the $580,000 of principal and any accrued interest at any time.  In September 2010, Lanktree converted $100,000 of the $580,000 obligation into 25,000,000 shares of common stock (125,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse split).  In October 2010, Lanktree converted another $100,000 of principal related to the original $580,000 obligation into 25,000,000 shares of common stock (125,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse split) leaving a balance due of $380,000 as of December 31, 2010.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the due date on the $380,000 balance outstanding on Note 1 to June 30, 2011, and pay interest monthly at 12% per annum.   On March 2, 2011, in consideration for the extension, the Company issued 22,000,000 shares of its common stock (110,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) valued at $88,000 on the date of issuance.  The value of these shares was charged to interest expense.

In May 2011, Lanktree transferred $50,000 of principal but none of the accrued interest on this obligation to a third party who converted the principal into 500,000 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.10 per share.  Prior to the transfer and conversion, Lanktree had the right to convert at $0.80 per share.  Therefore, on the conversion date, the Company recognized a charge to interest expense in the amount of $74,375. As of September 30, 2011, the principal outstanding on Note 1 is $330,000.  The Company has not met its amended due dates for the payment of principal and interest, and therefore Note 1 remains in default.
 
In October 2011, Lanktree transferred $125,000 of principal on this obligation to a third party.  On October 7, 2011, and November 11 and 15, 2011, $25,000, $15,000 and $5,400 of this principal was converted into 477,783 shares, 870,827 shares and 380,825 shares of common stock at conversion rates of $0.05233, $0.01723 and $0.00945, respectively.  As of the date of these financial statements, the principal outstanding on Note 1 is $205,000, and the principal due to the third party is $79,600.
 
Lanktree - Installment notes.  On July 13, 2010, the Company entered an agreement with Lanktree whereby the Lanktree agreed to advance $300,000 to the Company in five consecutive monthly installment of $60,000 each in exchange for convertible notes with one year maturities bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly.  During the third and fourth quarters of 2010, the Company entered into five convertible note agreements and received aggregate proceeds of $300,000.  Each note was convertible at any time after six months from the date of issuance until maturity of the installment note at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $0.80 per share (now adjusted to $0.10 per share).  In July, August and September 2010, the Company received three installments of $60,000 for an aggregate of $180,000.  In October 2010, the Company received $90,000 of cash proceeds on the fourth installment note and on October 14, 2010 issued 5,000,000 shares valued at $45,000, in consideration for advance payment of $30,000 on the fifth installment note.  The value of the shares was charged to interest expense.  In November 2010, the Company received cash proceeds of $30,000 completing the fifth installment note agreement.  Principal and interest on certain of these notes was not paid timely and therefore these notes are in default.
 
Lanktree – Short-term notes.  On June 24, 2010, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $44,000 and received cash proceeds of $40,000.  This note matured on December 24, 2010, and on February 23, 2011, the due date on this loan was extended to December 24, 2011.  This note initially bore interest at 12% per annum payable monthly.  In conjunction with the extension, the interest rate on the note was reduced to 9% per annum beginning December 24, 2010.  In exchange for the due date extension and reduction of the interest rate, on March 2, 2011, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock (25,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) valued at $20,000 on the issuance date.
  
On February 25, 2011, the Company issued a $25,000 convertible note to Lanktree bearing interest at 12% per annum payable monthly.  The note matured on May 25, 2011, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.0033 per share ($0.66 per share after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  As additional consideration for entering into this note, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock (25,000 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) valued at $20,000 on the date of issuance.  Based on the relative fair values of the note and common shares, the Company recorded a debt discount of $11,111 on the date of issuance, which was subsequently amortized to interest expense.  As principal was not paid at maturity and no repayments arrangements have been made with the lender, this loan is currently in default.
 
On September 26, 2011, the Company entered into a $150,000 note agreement with Lanktree in exchange for $50,000 in cash and capitalization of $100,000 of accrued interest on various Lanktree notes (including Note 1, the Lanktree Installment notes, the Lanktree short-term notes and the Lender 4 note).  This $150,000 note bears interest at 12% per annum and matures on March 26, 2012.  As additional consideration for entering into the note agreement, the Company agreed to issue 1,500,000 shares of common stock and reduce the conversion prices on all Lanktree convertible notes to $0.10 per share.  These shares were valued at $81,507 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock.  This note also contains a provision whereby should any other common stock be issued for less than $0.10 per share, the conversion price would convert to the lower price.  As result of this provision, the Company determined that the conversion feature was a derivative.  After applying the Black Scholes option pricing model, the Company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature was $102,255 on the date of issuance of the note and accordingly recorded a derivative liability of this amount.  The Company recorded at debt discount related to the relative fair value of the shares and the conversion feature in the amount of $150,000, the face value of the note, with the excess of $33,762 to interest expense.  The discount will be amortized over the life of the loan.  For the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company amortized $3,333 of this discount.  See Note 9– Derivative Instruments for the 2011 changes to the fair values of the derivative liability related to the conversion feature.
 
The reduction of the conversion prices on the various Lanktree loans (including Note 1, the Lanktree Installment notes, the Lanktree short-term notes and the Lender 4 note) to $0.10 per share was deemed to constitute a significant modification in terms (in excess of 10% when comparing the fair value of the old notes with the fair value of the new notes), and therefore an extinguishment of debt.  Accordingly, the Company accounted for the reduction of the conversion prices at the fair value of the new debt.  The Company determined the fair value of the new debt on September 26, 2011 to be $1,313,465 (determined by adding the present value of the principal, interest and an estimate of the fair value of the incremental conversion features for each loan using the Black Scholes option pricing model, and using the closing trading price on September 26, 2011 of $0.119 per share, the conversion price of $0.10, and assuming maturity of one year, a stock price volatility of 167.88%, and a risk free rate of $0.10), and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $564,465 with an offset to debt premium.  The debt premium will be amortized over the 6 month term of the $150,000 loan.  For the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company amortized $12,474 of the debt premium, leaving the balance outstanding of the note and the unamortized premium at $551,990 at September 30, 2011.
   
Lender 3. On March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a security purchase agreement with a lender and issued a $10,000 convertible debenture bearing interest at 8% per annum payable annually.  This debenture matures on March 22, 2012.  The debenture is convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion rate of $0.003 per common share (subsequently adjusted to $0.60 per common share as a result of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).
 
Lender 4.    In May 2011, the Company entered into a $50,000 convertible note with a partnership affiliated with Lanktree.  This note matured on August 4, 2011.  The note bears interest at 12% per annum payable monthly.  In the event of default, the note bears interest at 3% per month in cash and 3% per month in the equivalent of common shares.  The note is convertible at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.30 per share.  In conjunction with the issuance of the note, the Company issued 20,000 common shares to the lender.  Based on the relative fair value of the note principal and common shares, the Company recognized a debt discount in the amount of $3,358, which has now been amortized in full to interest expense.  In addition, the Company issued an additional 20,000 common shares to Lanktree for facilitating the loan.  These shares were valued at $5,000 on the date of issuance and were charged to other expense.  As principal was not paid at maturity and no repayments arrangements have been made with the lender, this loan is currently in default.
 
Dilution adjustments.  On September 16, 2010, the Company granted Lanktree the right to convert the principal balance outstanding on Note 1 in the amount of $580,000 into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  As a result of anti-dilution provisions in various other debentures and warrant agreements, conversion prices related to the first and second quarter 2010 convertible debentures adjusted to $0.080 per share, and exercise prices related to warrants issued with the first, second and third quarter debentures adjusted to $0.080 per share.  The anti-dilution provisions also triggered the issuance of 228,125 warrants ( after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) with an exercise price of $0.080 (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  At issuance, these additional warrants had approximately a six and two-thirds year term to match the remaining term of the originally issued warrants.  On September 16, 2010, the Company determined the aggregate fair values of the additional warrants to be $410,592.

On November 16, 2010, the Company granted an investor the right to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) in exchange for cash proceeds of $50,000 at $0.66 per share (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  As a result of anti-dilution provisions in various debentures and warrant agreements, conversion prices related to the first and second quarter 2010 convertible debentures adjusted to $0.66 per share, and exercise prices related to warrants issued with the first, second and third quarter debentures adjusted to $0.66 per share.  The anti-dilution provisions also triggered the issuance of an additional 78,594 warrants (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) with an exercise price of $0.66 (after the 200-to-1 reverse stock split).  At issuance, these additional warrants had approximately a six and one-half year term to match the remaining term of the originally issued warrants.  On November 16, 2010, the Company determined the aggregate fair values of the warrants to be $72,274.

On March 4 and March 31, 2011, the Company granted investors the right to exchange $82,500 of principal and $30,618 of accrued interest related to the 2007 subscription agreement debentures for 400,445 shares of common stock at a weighted average exchange rate of $0.282481 per share.  As a result of anti-dilution provisions in various debentures and warrant agreements, conversion prices related to the first and second quarter 2010 convertible debentures adjusted from $0.66 per share to $0.60 per share and then to $0.15 per share, and exercise prices related to warrants issued with the first, second and third quarter debentures adjusted from $0.66 per share to $0.60 per share then to $0.15 per share.  The anti-dilution provisions also triggered the issuance of an additional 1,614,114 warrants.  At issuance, these additional warrants had approximately a six year term to maturity to match the remaining term of the originally issued warrants.  On March 4 and March 31, 2011, the Company determined the aggregate fair values of the warrants to be $667,144.
 
On May 4, 2011, the Company granted another investor the right to exchange $50,000 of principal on Note 1 acquired from Lanktree for 500,000 common shares at an exchange rate of $0.10 per share.  As a result of anti-dilution provisions in various debentures and warrant agreements, conversion prices related to the first and second quarter 2010 convertible debentures adjusted from $0.15 to $0.10 per share, and exercise prices related to warrants issued with the first, second and third quarter debentures adjusted from $0.15 to $0.10 per share.  The anti-dilution provisions also triggered the issuance of an additional 1,041,667 warrants with an exercise price of $0.10.  At issuance, these additional warrants had approximately a six year term to maturity to match the remaining term of the originally issued warrants.  On May 4, 2011, the Company determined the aggregate fair values of the warrants to be $187,416.
 
See Note 10 – Derivative Instruments for the 2011 changes to the fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the conversion features and the warrants.

Related party advances and notes

On July 30, 2007, the Company received cash and issued a promissory note to a relative of our chief executive officer in the principal amount of $125,000.  Interest accrued on this note at a rate of 24% per annum and was to be paid monthly.  All principal and accrued interest was due on or before October 30, 2007.  The Company has not made the required principal and interest payments and has been negotiating with the holder to amend the payment terms of the note, which would include a waiver of default for the required payments that have not been made.  In the event of default, the note calls for interest at 36% per annum.  The loan was collateralized by 5,300 units of the Company’s thermometer product held for resale.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance was 99,250.  The Company has recorded accrued interest payable amounting to $110,870 at September 30, 2011, at the rate of 24% per annum as the Company believes it will not be obligated to pay the default rate of interest.  Had the Company accrued interest at the default rate, accrued interest payable at September 30, 2011, would have been $154,670 and additional interest expense in the amount of $8,908 would have been recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, two of the Company’s board members, and ASR Realty Group, LLC (“ASR”), an entity affiliated with a former board member, advanced funds to the Company for working capital on a non-interest bearing basis.  The principal balance due to the board members was $60,180 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  One of these advances in the amount of $27,000 due to ASR is documented by a note and secured by accounts receivable, inventory and other assets of the Company, and should the balance not be paid on demand, interest shall accrue at 15% per annum.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had accrued interest in the amount of $11,817 with regard to this note.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company deems principal due to related parties in the amount of $159,430 to be in default.  See Note 12 – Related Party Transactions for additional information on related party advances.
