9. NOTES PAYABLE
Promissory notes payable
Lanktree – Note 1. On September 28,
2007, the Company issued a promissory note to Lanktree Consulting
Corporation (“Lanktree”) 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 June 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.
Granite Financial Group – Short-term
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. One promissory note in the amount of $100,000
is secured by the pledge of 98,500,000 shares of common stock
(492,500 shares after consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock
split) owned by an executive of the Company and the personal
guarantee of the executive. 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 again 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. As of the date of
these financial statements, principal and interest on these notes
has not been paid and therefore the Company is currently in default
with regard to these obligations.
Lender 2. On
October 22, 2007, the Company issued a promissory note to a lender
(“Lender 2”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$262,500 (“Note 2”) and received cash proceeds from
Lender 2 in the sum of $250,000. A current member of our
Board of Directors is indirectly related to Lender
2. Effective December 31, 2009, the Company entered into
a release agreement whereby Lender 2 released the Company from all
principal and interest obligations under Note 2 in exchange for the
Company’s commitment to file a registration statement with
the SEC and to compensate Lender 2 should Lender 2 be unable to
sell up to 88,000,000 million of its shares (440,000 shares after
consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) above
an average price of $0.01 per share ($2.00 per share after
consideration of the 200-to-1 reverse stock split) over an eleven
week period after the registration statement becomes
effective. The maximum amount due by the Company under
the release agreement is $350,000. On January 14, 2011,
the Company’s registration statement with the SEC became
effective. As of the date of these financial statements,
none of the shares subject to the release agreement had been sold,
and as of June 30, 2011, the $350,000 carried as an other current
liability remains outstanding. In accordance with the
release agreement, the Company began accruing interest on the
$350,000 balance due at 10% per annum beginning April 1,
2011.
Second Quarter 2011 Inventory loans. During
May and June 2011, the Company entered into ten note agreements
with various lenders in the aggregate principal amount of
$785,000. These notes are secured by 70,000 units of the
Company’s VeraTemp thermometers and accounts receivable
related to these units. These notes mature six months
from the date of issuance, collection of the accounts receivable or
upon a new financing event in excess of $200,000, whichever occurs
first. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum payable
at maturity. In conjunction with the issuance of these
notes, the Company issued an aggregate of 494,643 warrants to
lenders and 301,786 warrants as commissions to others for arranging
these financings. The value of these warrants was
determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model on their
respective dates of issuance as $169,784 to the lenders and as
$112,589 as commissions. The aggregate value of the
commissions was capitalized as a prepaid expense at the time of
issuance to be amortized over the lives of the
loans. For the period ended June 30, 2011, the Company
amortized $26,896 of commissions and such amount is included in
other expenses in the accompanying Statement of
Operations. Based on the relative fair value of the
notes’ principal and warrants issued to the lenders, the
Company recorded aggregate discounts on these notes in the amount
of $135,857 with offsets to additional paid in
capital. During the periods from issuance to June 30,
2011, the Company amortized an aggregate of $25,206 of the
discounts to interest expense leaving $110,651 as the aggregate
value of the discounts at June 30, 2011. The carrying
value of these notes amounted to $674,349 as of June 30,
2011.
Tecnimed. In October 2007 and
April 2008, the Company issued two promissory notes to Tecnimed,
Srl (“Tecnimed” or the “Vendor”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $608,800. These notes
accrued interest at 10% per annum and are secured by the remaining
portion of the Company’s inventory received from the
Vendor. During 2010, the Company wrote-off the remaining
value of this inventory. In conjunction with the
issuance of the first of these notes, effective October 30, 2007,
we issued 375,000 of our common stock valued at $0.26 per share,
the trading price at the end of that day. All principal
and interest was due during 2008.
On
March 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with
the Vendor (the “Settlement Agreement”), whereby the
parties agreed to termination of the existing distribution
agreement as amended, payment terms with regard to sold and unsold
product, new terms with regard to sales and distribution of
existing product, mutual releases of claims against one another,
and modification to certain indemnity provisions (see Note 11
– Commitment and Contingencies regarding litigation between a
competitor, Tecnimed and the Company), among other
provisions. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the
Company agreed not to make any cash distributions to shareholders,
officers, directors and employees (apart from ordinary salary), and
pay the Vendor 30% of any capital raised (excluding any financing
for working capital), until the obligation to the Vendor has been
fully satisfied. Further, the Company agreed to an even
split of cash received from customers until the debt is paid in
full. In addition, the Vendor agreed to waive all
penalties, fees and interest above 6% compounded annually, with
respect to the notes, and forbear collection proceedings for 18
months from the date of the Settlement Agreement provided the
Company remained in compliance with the obligations within the
Settlement Agreement. The Vendor also has a lien on
product titled to the Company at an independent warehouse location
and requires specific authorization prior to release of such
product to the Company. As of June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, the Company deemed principal in the amount of $163,947
plus accrued interest of $83,991 to be in default.
As
discussed in Note 11 – Commitment and Contingencies, on
September 21, 2010, the Vendor filed a complaint against the
Company and its Kids-Med subsidiary, alleging breach of non-compete
agreement and that the Company infringed on the Thermofocus
trademark and trade dress. In addition, the complaint
alleges that the Company sold Thermofocus units in an unauthorized
manner resulting in a breach of contract. Further, the
complaint alleges that the Company is in default on the payment of
$209,802 of principal and $88,867 of interest then outstanding
under the notes due Tecnimed.
Short-term advance. On November 5, 2005, the
Company received $300,000 from a shareholder and former service
provider (“Service Provider 1”) as a short term cash
advance. No agreement was entered into regarding the
payment of principal and interest. As of June 30, 2011,
the principal due on this loan amounted to $289,500, and is deemed
by the Company to be in default.
Purchase order financing facility. In
July 2010, the Company entered into a revolving facility for
borrowing up to $3.0 million to fund the purchase of inventory
products upon receipt of confirmed purchase orders from
customers. As of June 30, 2011, no amounts had been
advanced under this facility.
A
summary of principal due on promissory notes payable as of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:
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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the
outstanding balance was 99,250. The Company has recorded
accrued interest payable amounting to $104,866 at June 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 June 30, 2011, would have been $145,664 and additional
interest expense in the amount of $5,906 would have been recognized
for the six months ended June 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 June 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 June 30, 2011, the Company had accrued
interest in the amount of $10,796 with regard to this
note.
As
of June 30, 2011, the Company deems principal due to related
parties in the amount of $159,430 to be in default. See
Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for additional
information on related party advances.
Convertible promissory notes
A
summary of principal due, unamortized discount and carrying values
of convertible promissory notes as of June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, is as follows:
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, 905,000 common shares and 1,810,000 warrants to purchase an
equivalent number of common shares in exchange for proceeds of
$905,000. The warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per
share (adjusted to $200 per share after 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 June 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 June
30, 2011, noteholders may convert accrued interest into 139,013
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 June 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 six months ended June 30, 2011,
interest expense accrued related to these convertible promissory
notes was $61,735. At June 30, 2011, total accrued
interest expense amounted to $404,806.
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 June
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 10 –
Derivative Instruments for changes in the fair value of these
derivatives. The aggregate value of the new penalty warrants issued
for the six months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to
$1,084. Changes in fair value for the previously issued
warrant derivative liabilities amounted to an adjustment of $7,024
for the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting in these warrant
derivative liabilities to be carried at their fair values of $4,871
at June 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 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 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, the investor 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, the investor 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. As of
June 30, 2011, the principal outstanding on the first quarter 2010
convertible debentures was $288,500.
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 periods ended June 30, 2011 and
2010, the Company accrued interest expense at 12% and 10% in the
amounts of $18,869 and $13,667, 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.
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 six months ended June 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 $135,242
and $34,588, respectively. 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.
Second quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On May 13, 2010,
the Company entered into agreements with two investors 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 period ended June 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 $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 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 six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization of the
conversion feature and warrant discounts related to the second
quarter 2010 convertible debentures amounted to $37,500 and $6,122,
respectively. 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.
Third quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On July 22, 2010,
the Company entered an agreement with an investor 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 period ended June 30, 2011, the Company
accrued interest expense at 12% in the amount of $6,000 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2011, amortization of the conversion
feature and warrant discounts related to the third quarter 2010
convertible debentures amounted to $24,658. 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.
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 $0.80 per share,
and exercise prices related to warrants issued with the first,
second and third quarter debentures adjusted to $0.80 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 $0.80 (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

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,

See
Note 10 – Derivative Instruments for the 2011 changes to the

features and the warrants.
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.
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. For the period from issuance to June 30, 2011,
the Company amortized $2,081 of the discount to interest expense
leaving an unamortized discount of $1,278, at June 30,
2011. 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.

8. NOTES PAYABLE
Promissory notes payable
Lanktree – Note 1. On September 28,
2007, the Company issued a promissory note to Lanktree Consulting
Corporation (“Lanktree”) in the aggregate principal
amount of $267,500 (“Note 1”) and received cash
proceeds in the sum of $250,000. In conjunction with the
issuance of Note 1, effective September 28, 2007, we issued 125,000
shares of our common stock to Lanktree valued at $0.18 per share,
the trading price on that day. We also issued 250,000
warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of our common
stock. These warrants were exercisable over a three year
period beginning September 28, 2007 at a price of $0.25 per
share. The warrants expired
unexercised. Interest accrues on Note 1 at a rate of
12.0% per annum. 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.
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, we entered into five convertible note agreements and received
aggregate proceeds of $300,000. Each note is 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 $0.004. The Company determined
the aggregate intrinsic values of the contingent conversion
features for each note issuance date to be $272,250. The
Company deferred recognition of these conversion features until
such time that the contingency is resolved.
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. During the year ended
December 31, 2010, the Company paid interest on the five
installment notes in the aggregate amount of $6,200.
Lanktree – Settlement of amounts due for Note
1. As part of the
installment note agreement, the Company and Lanktree settled on the
principal and amount of cash interest due on Note 1 at
$580,000. In addition, the parties agreed that the
amount of the Company’s common stock due for additional
interest on Note 1 was 63,013,452 shares. As
a result of the settlement of principal and cash interest due of
$580,000 and the common stock obligation of 63,013,452 shares, the
Company recorded a settlement expense of $478,262, consisting of
$348,000 of additional principal due and an increase to accrued
interest payable of $130,262 as of June 30,
2010. 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. 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 at a conversion rate of $0.004
per share. 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 at a conversion rate of
$0.004 per share leaving a balance due of $380,000 as of December
31, 2010.
The
63,013,452 shares were issuable in five tranches of 12,602,690
shares in conjunction with issuance of each $60,000 convertible
promissory note. The closing price of our common stock
on July 13, 2010 was $0.0073 per share, resulting in a valuation of
the 63,013,452 common shares at $459,998. The Company
recognized as an obligation to issue these shares and reclassified
this amount from accrued interest payable. During the
third and fourth quarters of 2010, the Company issued the five
tranches of common shares aggregating 63,013,452 shares to Lanktree
thereby eliminating the obligation to issue shares as of November
13, 2010. A summary of the principal, accrued interest
and obligation to issue shares account balances before and after
recording the above settlement expense, and as of December 31,
2010, is as follows:
The
Company recorded the effect of the beneficial conversion feature
related to the $580,000 balance of Note 1 resulting from the
settlement as a non-operating charge to the statement of operations
with an offset to additional paid-in capital. The
beneficial conversion feature was determined to be difference
between the closing bid price per share of the Company’s
common stock on September 16, 2010 and the conversion price of
$0.004 per share, times the number of shares available for
conversion in the amount of 145,000,000 shares, but limited to
principal obligation, or $580,000.
Effective
January 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to extend
the due date on the $380,000 balance outstanding on Note 1 as of
that date to June 30, 2011 and pay interest monthly at 12% per
annum. In consideration for the extension, the
Company issued 22,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at
$88,000 on the date of issuance. See Note 14 –
Subsequent Events for additional transactions related to
Lanktree.
Lanktree – Short-term note. 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. For the period ended December 31,
2010, the Company paid $2,640 of interest related to this
short-term note. In the event of default, interest shall
accrue at 2% per month in cash and 2% per month in equity on the
unpaid obligation.
After
six months from the date of issuance, the holder of the note has
the right, but not the obligation, to convert any portion of the
$44,000 principal, then accrued interest if any, and any fees which
may become the responsibility of the Company, into common stock at
a fixed conversion price of $0.005 per share. The
Company determined the intrinsic value of the conversion feature on
the note issuance date to be $26,400, and recorded this amount as
additional interest expense with an offset to additional paid in
capital when the conversion feature became effective in December
2010.
In
conjunction with the extension of this note, 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 valued at $20,000 on
the issuance date.
Commissions due on Installment notes and Short-term
note. The Company agreed to pay fees to a party
who assisted with the settlement of the dispute surrounding Note 1
and obtain the $300,000 installment note and $44,000 short-term
note financings. The fees amount to a cash payment equal
to 7.5% of the each installment note advance received by the
Company, shares of our common stock equal to 4.5% of each
installment note advance and warrants to purchase common stock
equal to 10% of the common shares issued. For the period
ended December 31, 2010, the Company paid $20,250 in cash, issued
2,465,422 shares of common stock valued at $13,500, and warrants to
purchase 168,151 shares of common stock valued at $1,358 using the
Black Scholes pricing model. The warrants issued have an
exercise price of $0.01 per share and may be exercised at any time
within three years of the date of issuance. As of
December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued the remaining cash piece
payable in the amount of $2,250.
Granite Financial Group – Short-term
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

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

these notes, effective October 30, 2007, we issued 375,000 of our
common stock valued at $0.26 per share, the trading price at the
end of that day. All principal and interest was due
during 2008.
On
March 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with
the Vendor (the “Settlement Agreement”), whereby the
parties agreed to termination of the existing distribution
agreement as amended, payment terms with regard to sold and unsold
product, new terms with regard to sales and distribution of
existing product, mutual releases of claims against one another,
and modification to certain indemnity provisions (see Note 12
– Commitment and Contingencies regarding litigation between a
competitor, Tecnimed and the Company), among other
provisions. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the
Company agreed not to make any cash distributions to shareholders,
officers, directors and employees (apart from ordinary salary), and
pay the Vendor 30% of any capital raised (excluding any financing
for working capital), until the obligation to the Vendor has been
fully satisfied. Further, the Company agreed to an even
split of cash received from customers until the debt is paid in
full. In addition, the Vendor agreed to waive all
penalties, fees and interest above 6% compounded annually, with
respect to the notes, and forbear collection proceedings for 18
months from the date of the Settlement Agreement provided the
Company remained in compliance with the obligations within the
Settlement Agreement. The Vendor also has a lien on
product titled to the Company at an independent warehouse location
and requires specific authorization prior to release of such
product to the Company. As of December 31, 2010 and
2009, the Company had $163,947 and $283,252 of principal
outstanding on the promissory notes, respectively. On
December 31, 2010, the Company deemed principal in the amount of
$163,647 plus accrued interest of $77,114 to be in
default.
As
discussed in Note 12 – Commitment and Contingencies, on
September 21, 2010, the vendor filed a complaint against the
Company and its Kids-Med subsidiary alleging breach of non-compete
agreement and that the Company infringed on the Thermofocus
trademark and trade dress. In addition, the complaint
alleges that the Company sold Thermofocus units in an unauthorized
manner resulting in a breach of contract. Further, the
complaint alleges that the Company is in default on the payment of
$209,802 of principal and $88,867 of interest then outstanding
under the notes due Tecnimed.
Short-term advance. On November 5, 2005, the
Company received $300,000 from a shareholder and former service
provider (“Service Provider 1”) as a short term cash
advance. No agreement was entered into regarding the
payment of principal and interest. As of December 31,
2010, the principal due on this loan amounted to $289,500, and is
deemed by the Company to be in default.
Other promissory note payable. As of December 31,
2009, the Company had outstanding principal balance due on an
unsecured installment note with a commercial bank
(“Commercial Bank”) in the amount of
$23,568. This note called for monthly payments of $2,057
with interest on the outstanding balance at prime plus
1.50%. This note matured on December 14, 2010 and was
paid in full. This installment note was personally
guaranteed by our chief executive officer and another member of our
Board of Directors. For the year ended December 31,
2010, the Company recognized and paid interest expense in the
amount of $931 related to this note.
Purchase order financing facility. In
July 2010, the Company entered into a revolving facility for
borrowing up to $3.0 million to fund the purchase of inventory
products upon receipt of confirmed purchase orders from
customers. As of December 31, 2010, no amounts had been
advanced under this facility.
A
summary of principal due on promissory notes payable as of December
31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:
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 Thermofocus thermometer
product held for resale. As of December 31, 2010 and
2009, the outstanding balance is 99,250. The Company has
recorded accrued interest payable amounting to $93,054 at December
31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010 would
have been $127,946 and additional interest expense in the amount of
$11,910 would have been recognized for the year ended December 31,
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 December 31, 2010 and
2009. 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 December 31, 2010, the Company had accrued
interest in the amount of $8,788 with regard to this
note.
As
of December 31, 2010, the Company deems principal due to related
parties in the amount of $159,430 to be in default. See
Note 13– Related Party Transactions for additional
information on related party advances.
Convertible promissory notes
A
summary of principal due, unamortized discount and carrying values
of convertible promissory notes as of December 31, 2010, and the
carrying value as of December 31, 2009, is as follows:
First quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On February 16,
2010 and March 23, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with
an investor to issue convertible debentures in the aggregate amount
of $400,000 and warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common
stock in exchange for the return of 33,333,333 common shares 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 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. The warrants were initially exercisable over
three years from the date of issuance at $0.01 per
share. 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 from $0.003 to
$0.0015 per share and extending the exercise period of the warrants
to seven years from May 13, 2010. As described further
below, due to dilution protections in the agreements, the
conversion price has adjusted to $0.0033 per common share and the
warrants have an exercise price of $0.0033 per common share as of
December 31, 2010.
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 period ended December 31, 2010,
the Company accrued interest expense at 10% in the amount of
$33,667 related to these convertible debentures.
The
conversion price is adjustable in the event of any stock dividends,
stock splits and subsequent equity sales or grants of the
Company’s common stock should the effective price per share
be lower than the conversion price at the time of such
issuance. The holders of these convertible debentures
may participate in any rights offering and shall participate in any
distributions through adjustment of the conversion
price. The holders may also accelerate demand for
outstanding principal and interest upon any change in control,
merger, consolidation, substantial asset sale, tender offer or
other fundamental transaction as defined in the convertible
debenture.
The
exercise price of the warrants is adjustable in the event of
payment of dividends or any distribution of common stock, any
reclassification or recapitalization, and any subsequent equity
sales should the effective price per share be lower than the
exercise price at the time of such issuance. See Note 11
- Equity – Warrants for common shares.
At
each commitment date, due to anti-dilution provisions in the
convertible debentures, the Company determined that the conversion
feature contained an embedded derivative. The Company determined
the fair value of the conversion features related to the
convertible debentures by applying the Black-Scholes pricing model
using the conversion price of $0.0066, the closing price of the
Company's common stock on the dates of issuance, 2 years for the
expected term, weighted average volatility of 367%, no dividends
and weighted average risk free interest rate of
0.97%. 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. The discount
will be amortized over the two year term of the
debenture. For the period from issuance to December 31,
2010, amortization of the discount related to the conversion
features amounted to $91,686.
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. Amortization of the
debt discount related to the warrants for the period ended December
31, 2010 was $67,689. 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. The fair value of the warrants was
calculated by utilizing the Black-Scholes fair value methodology
using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the
dates of issuance, 3 years for expected term, weighted average
volatility of 331%, no dividends and weighted average risk free
interest rate of 1.50%.
As
summary of the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures net of
discounts at their issuance dates and as of December 31, 2010 are
as follows:
At
December 31, 2010, the Company determined the fair value of the
conversion feature derivative liability and the warrant derivative
liability using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following
assumptions: closing price of the Company’s common stock at
December 31, 2010 of $0.0044 per share, the conversion and exercise
price of $0.0033 , a weighted average of 1.18 years expected term
for the conversion features and a weighted average of 6.18 years
expected term for the warrants, weighted average volatility of 111%
for the conversion features and 288% for the warrants, and a
weighted average risk free rate of 0.29% for the conversion
features and 2.71% for the warrants. For the period
ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an aggregate debit
adjustment to fair value these derivative liabilities of
$1,040,922. The resulting aggregate carrying value for
the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures was $211,159 as of
December 31, 2010.
The
fair values of the derivative liability for the conversion features
embedded within the convertible notes and the warrants issued with
convertible notes related to the first quarter 2010 convertible
debentures, assuming no change to the conversion price due to
anti-dilution features, were as follows:
The
exchange of the first quarter 2010 convertible debentures and
warrants on May 13, 2010 was not deemed to be an extinguishment and
reissuance of debt as the difference between the present values of
the expected cash flow streams before and after the exchange did
not exceed 10%. Accordingly, the Company treated the
exchange as a modification of terms. The incremental
difference in the expected cash flow immediately before and after
the exchange, due to the change in valuation of the warrants of
$1,336, was not deemed material and not recorded. The
Company began accruing interest at 10% on May 13, 2010 under the
assumption that interest would be paid in cash.
Second quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On May 13, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with two investors to issue convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $150,000 and warrants to purchase 7,500,000 shares of common stock 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 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for ten days immediately prior to conversion (now adjusted to $0.0033 per common share), but such conversion price shall not be below $0.0015. The warrants are exercisable over seven years at $0.01 per share (now adjusted to $0.0033 per common share). 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 period ended December 31, 2010, the Company accrued interest expense at 10% in the amount of $9,458 related to these convertible debentures. As described further below, due to dilution protections in the agreements, the conversion price has adjusted to $0.0033 per common share and the warrants have an exercise price of $0.0033 per common share as of December 31, 2010. The
conversion price is adjustable in the event of any stock dividends,
stock splits and subsequent equity sales or grants of the
Company’s common stock should the effective price per share
be lower than the conversion price at the time of such
issuance. The holders of these convertible debentures
may participate in any rights offering and shall participate in any
distributions through adjustment of the conversion
price. The holders may also accelerate demand for
outstanding principal and interest upon any change in control,
merger, consolidation, substantial asset sale, tender offer or
other fundamental transaction as defined in the convertible
debenture.
The
exercise price of the warrants is adjustable in the event of
payment of dividends or any distribution of common stock, any
reclassification or recapitalization, and any subsequent equity
sales should the effective price per share be lower than the
exercise price at the time of such issuance. See Note 11
- Equity – Warrants for common shares.
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 determined the fair value of the conversion feature related to the convertible debentures by applying the Black-Scholes pricing model using the conversion price of $0.0066, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance, 2 years for the expected term, weighted average volatility of 368%, no dividends and weighted average risk free interest rate of 0.87%. 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. 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. The discount will be amortized over the two year term of the debenture. For the period from issuance to December 31, 2010, amortization of the discount related to the conversion feature amounted to $29,200. 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. Amortization of the debt discount related to
the warrants for the period ended December 31, 2010 was
$18,249. 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. The fair value of the warrants was
calculated by utilizing the Black-Scholes fair value methodology
using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the
dates of issuance, 7 years for expected term, weighted average
volatility of 305%, no dividends and weighted average risk free
interest rate of 2.98%.
As
summary of the second quarter 2010 convertible debentures net of
discounts at their issuance dates and as of December 31, 2010 are
as follows:
At
December 31, 2010, the Company determined the fair value of the
conversion feature derivative liability and the warrant derivative
liability using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following
assumptions: closing price of the Company’s common stock at
December 31, 2010 of $0.0044 per share, the conversion and exercise
price of $0.0033, a weighted average of 1.38 years expected term
for the conversion features and a weighted average of 6.38 years
expected term for the warrants, weighted average volatility of 111%
for the conversion feature and 288% for the warrants, and a
weighted average risk free rate of 0.29% for the conversion
features and 2.71% for the warrants. The Company
recorded an aggregate debit adjustment to fair value of these
derivative liabilities of $293,027 since issuance resulting in
aggregate carrying values for the second quarter 2010 convertible
debentures to be $81,970 as of December 31, 2010.
The
fair values of the derivative liability for the conversion features
embedded within the convertible notes and the warrants issued with
the convertible notes related to the second quarter 2010
convertible debentures, assuming no change to the conversion price
due to anti-dilution features, were as follows:
Third quarter 2010 convertible debentures. On July 22, 2010,
the Company entered an agreement with an investor to issue
convertible debentures in the amount of $100,000 and warrants to
purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock 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 at a conversion price of
$0.004 per share (now $0.0033 per share). The warrants
are exercisable over seven years at $0.0075 per share (now $0.0033
per share). 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 period ended
December 31, 2010, the Company accrued interest expense at 10% in
the amount of $4,389 related to these convertible
debentures. As described further below, due to dilution
protections in the agreements, the conversion price has adjusted to
$0.0033 per common share and the warrants have an exercise price of
$0.0033 per common share as of December 31, 2010.
The
conversion price is adjustable in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split and subsequent equity sale or grant of the
Company’s common stock should the effective price per share
be lower than the conversion price at the time of such
issuance. The holder of these convertible debentures may
participate in any rights offering and shall participate in any
distributions through adjustment of the conversion
price. The holder may also accelerate demand for
outstanding principal and interest upon any change in control,
merger, consolidation, substantial asset sale, tender offer or
other fundamental transaction as defined in the convertible
debenture.
The
exercise price of the warrants is adjustable in the event of
payment of any dividend or any distribution of common stock, any
reclassification or recapitalization, and any subsequent equity
sale should the effective price per share be lower than the
exercise price at the time of such issuance. See Note
11-Equity – Warrants for common shares.
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 determined the fair value of the conversion feature related to the convertible debentures by applying the Black-Scholes pricing model using the conversion price of $0.004, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance, 2 years for the expected term, weighted average volatility of 331%, no dividends and weighted average risk free interest rate of 0.60%. 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. 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. The discount will be amortized over the two year term of the debenture. For the period from issuance to December 31, 2010, amortization of the discount related to the conversion feature amounted to $13,257. 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. Amortization of the debt discount related to
the warrants for the period ended December 31, 2010 was
$7,291. 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. The fair value of the warrants was
calculated by utilizing the Black-Scholes fair value methodology
using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the
dates of issuance, 7 years for expected term, weighted average
volatility of 296%, no dividends and weighted average risk free
interest rate of 2.38%.
As
summary of the third quarter 2010 convertible debentures net of
discounts at their issuance date and as of December 31, 2010 are as
follows:
At
December 31, 2010, the Company determined the fair value of the
conversion feature derivative liability and the warrant derivative
liability using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following
assumptions: closing price of the Company’s common stock at
December 31, 2010 of $0.0044 per share, the conversion and exercise
prices of $0.0033 for the conversion feature and $0.0033 for the
warrants, a weighted average of 1.55 years expected term for the
conversion features and a weighted average of 6.55 years expected
term for the warrants, weighted average volatility of 300% for the
conversion feature and 288% for the warrants, and a weighted
average risk free rate of 0.61% for the conversion features and
2.71% for the warrants. The Company recorded an
aggregate debit adjustment to fair value of these derivative
liabilities of $201,326 resulting in aggregate carrying values for
the third quarter 2010 convertible debentures to be $125,565 as of
December 31, 2010.
The
fair values of the derivative liability for the conversion features
embedded within, and the warrants issued with, the convertible
notes related to the third quarter 2010 convertible debentures,
assuming no change to the conversion price due to anti-dilution
features, were as follows:
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 $0.004 per
share. 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 $0.004 per share, and exercise prices related to
warrants issued with the first, second and third quarter debentures
adjusted to $0.004 per share. The anti-dilution
provisions also triggered the issuance of 45,625,000 warrants with
an exercise price of $0.004. 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
using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following
assumptions: closing price of the Company’s common stock on
September 16, 2010, the exercise price of $0.004, 6.67 to 6.83
years for the expected term, weighted average volatility of 296%,
and a weighted average risk free rate of 2.71%. Based on
application of the Black-Scholes pricing model on December 31,
2010, the aggregate fair values of the warrants related to these
anti-dilution provisions was $200,702, resulting in a change in the
fair value of these derivatives in the amount of $209,890 since
September, 2010.
On
November 16, 2010, the Company granted an investor the right to
purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for cash
proceeds of $50,000 at $0.0033 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 to $0.0033 per share,
and exercise prices related to warrants issued with the first,
second and third quarter debentures adjusted to $0.0033 per
share. The anti-dilution provisions also triggered the
issuance of an additional 15,718,844 warrants with an exercise
price of $0.0033. 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 using the Black-Scholes pricing model
with the following assumptions: closing price of the
Company’s common stock at November 16, 2010, the exercise
price of $0.0033, 6.50 to 6.67 years expected term for the
warrants, weighted average volatility of 287%, and a weighted
average risk free rate of 2.13%. Based on application of
the Black-Scholes pricing model on December 31, 2010, the aggregate
fair values of the warrants related to the share issuance was
$69,122, resulting in a change in the fair value of these
derivatives in the amount of $3,152 since November
2010.
2007 subscription agreement debentures. During 2007, the
Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors
issuing convertible promissory notes, 905,000 common shares and
1,810,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of common
shares in exchange for proceeds of $905,000. The
warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per common share over a five year
period from issuance. The convertible promissory notes
initially accrued interest at 10%, 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 adjusts to equal 80% of the Company’s
average closing stock price during the five trading days prior to
default. Further, in the event of default, the interest
rate adjusts to 15% per annum.
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 on such
date was $0.01456 of principal outstanding to one share of common
stock. Based on the default provisions, as of December
31, 2010, noteholders may convert their principal balance into a
total of 60,439,560 common shares. 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.
On
June 28, 2010, a holder of 2007 subscription agreement debentures
converted $25,000 of principal and $8,551 of accrued interest into
2,302,696 shares of common stock at a conversion price of
approximately $0.01456 per share. As of December 31,
2010 and 2009, the Company had $880,000 and $905,000 of principal
outstanding on these convertible promissory notes,
respectively.
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 each month. On January 21, 2010, the
Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, but ultimately
did not include the common stock, the initial issuance warrants and
the penalty in the final registration statement that became
effective on January 14, 2011.
For
the year ended December 31, 2010, additional penalty warrants
aggregating 892,571were issued raising the total number of penalty
warrants issued under the 2007 subscription debenture agreements to
2,640,964. The penalty warrants are exercisable over
five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.00
per share. The aggregate value of the new penalty
warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to
$8,033, which was charged to interest expense with an offset to
derivative liability. At each month end during 2010, the
Company determined the value of the penalty warrants issued using
the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions
based on the circumstances then in effect: no dividend yield, an
expected volatility ranging from 288% to 330%, a risk-free interest
rate ranging from 1.27% to 2.55%, the month end market price per
common share ranging from $0.0044 to $0.0114, the exercise price of
$1.00 and an expected life of 5 years.
The
penalty warrants have been determined to be a derivative
instrument. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of the
each issuance of the penalty warrants has been determined by using
the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: no
dividend yield, an expected volatility ranging from 288% to 300%, a
risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.29% to 2.01%, and an
expected life ranging from 1.67 to 5.00 years, the closing price of
the Company’s common stock at December 31, 2010 of $0.0044
per share, and the exercise price of $1.00. Based on the
application of the Black-Scholes pricing model applied to each
monthly issuance of the penalty warrants, a debit adjustment was
recorded to the warrant derivative liability in the amount of
$11,968 for the year ended December 31, 2010, resulting in these
warrant derivative liabilities to be carried at their aggregate
fair values of $10,810 at December 31, 2010.
For
the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized interest
expense of $168,702, and had $381,002 of accrued interest payable
at December 31, 2010, related to these convertible promissory
notes. Interest was calculated at 10% per annum for the
initial term and at 15% per annum since default without
compounding. The convertible promissory notes also
contain a provision whereby the noteholder may elect to convert
accrued interest payable into shares of our common
stock. As of December 31, 2010, based on 80% of the
prior five day average closing price of the Company’s common
stock, accrued interest payable may be converted into 102,640,625
shares of common stock should all noteholders elect to do
so.
