In
January 2011, JP Morgan Chase Bank (“JPM”)
responded affirmatively to the Company’s request to
delay the next few months of principal payments on the
October 29, 2010 Term Note and make payments “as we
are able.” JPM and the Company agreed
that the Company’s funds would be better used by
making payments against outstanding accounts
payable. The January 2011 principal payment
was paid in February 2011, the February 2011 principal
payment was paid in March 2011, the March principal
payment was paid in April 2011, and the April, May and
June principal payments were paid in June
2011. The July 2011 principal payment was made
timely, and the Company anticipates making subsequent
principal payments timely.

October
2009 convertible debt offering
On
October 15, 2009, we issued $3,001,033 of convertible
notes. The convertible notes set a maturity
date on October 15, 2011 and have a stated annual
interest rate of 10%. The principal is payable
at maturity but interest is paid quarterly beginning
January 15, 2010. The Company incurred
interest expense of $75,026 for both three month periods
ending June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. In
addition, the notes are convertible at any time into
restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at
$0.50 per share; and related party investors as of June
30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 accounted for $430,000 and
$180,000, respectively of the aggregate amount of
convertible debt funds collected. The $250,000
increase between the 2010 and 2011 ending periods’
related party amounts are due to the appointment of two
members in June 2011 to the Company’s Board of
Directors, Mr. Philip Tracy and Mr. William Gore, who
hold October 2009 convertible debt notes in the amounts
of $100,000 and $150,000, respectively. Mr.
Gore and Mr. Tracy are nominated for election to the
Company’s Board of Directors.
On
March 28, 2011, the convertible note agreements were
amended to reduce the conversion price to $0.40 per share
upon a change in control of the Company. This
change in the conversion feature was evaluated under ASC
815-40. As a result of the new provision, the
conversion feature now qualifies for derivative
accounting pursuant to ASC 815. (see Note
8)
In
June 2011, the Company contacted the holders of the
Company’s 2009 Convertible Promissory Note to
extend the note’s maturity date from October 15,
2011 to October 15, 2013. As of June 30, 2011,
the Company had received signed amendment agreements from
over 97% of the note holders. This change in
the maturity date was evaluated under EITF 96-19
“Debtor’s Accounting for Modification or
Exchange of Debt Instruments.” As a
result of the maturity date extension amendment, the
convertible debt notes now qualify as a debt
extinguishment and therefore are treated as if the
Company settled the debt prior to the maturity date and
then entered into an entirely new debt agreement after
the amendment. (see Note 8)
In
connection with the offering, we incurred cash fees of
$265,103 and issued 700,000 shares of restricted common
stock, valued at $203,000 based on the grant-date fair
value of our common stock. These fees were
included in the deferred financing costs in our
consolidated balance sheet and were being amortized over
the original term of the convertible notes using the
effective interest rate method. During the
three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and the
three-month period ended June 30, 2010, we amortized
approximately $73,300 and approximately $62,200,
respectively, of deferred financing cost.
Due
to the determination to extinguish the original
convertible debt notes and related accounts, as of June
24, 2011, we wrote off the remainder of the unamortized
deferred financing asset of approximately $61,500 and the
derivative liability of $820,800. These
transactions resulted in a net “non-cash”
gain of approximately $759,300 due to the extinguishment
of the original 2009 convertible debt
notes.
On
June 24, 2011, as per ASC 815-40, we evaluated the fair
value of the derivative liability (using the BWMS closing
share price of $0.55) and recorded a net
“non-cash” loss of approximately $115,400,
which represents the change in the fair value of the
derivative from March 31, 2011 through June 24,
2011. Additionally as per EITF 96-19, we
evaluated the fair value of the derivative related to the
amended convertible debt notes as of June 24, 2011 (using
the BWMS closing share price of $0.55) and recorded a new
derivative liability of $2,870,987. This
amount was recorded as a discount to the debt and will be
amortized over the new remaining life of the notes, until
October 15, 2013. On June 30, 2011, as per ASC
815-40, we evaluated the fair value of the derivative
liability again (using the BWMS closing share price of
$0.51) and recorded a net “non-cash” gain of
approximately $270,000. These transactions
resulted in a net “non-cash” gain of
approximately $154,600 due to changes in the derivative
liability of the 2009 convertible debt
notes.
As
a result of the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement
with JPM, the maturity and conversion dates of the
convertible debt notes issued pursuant to the
Company’s September 2009 Convertible Debt Offering
were to be extended by certain intervals. As of June 24,
2011, the maturity and conversion dates have been
extended until October 15, 2013 but still do not meet the
maturity date of September 30, 2014 as requested by
JPM.
March
2010 convertible debt offering
On
March 31, 2010, we issued $1,750,000 of convertible
notes. The convertible notes set a maturity
date on March 31, 2012 and have a stated annual interest
rate of 10%. The principal is payable at
maturity but interest is paid quarterly beginning June
30, 2010. The Company incurred interest
expense of $44,000 for both three month periods ending
June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. In addition, the notes
are convertible at any time into restricted shares of the
Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share; and
related party investors as of June 30, 2011 and June 30,
2010 accounted for $245,000 and $70,000, respectively of
the aggregate amount of convertible debt funds
collected. The $175,000 increase between the
2010 and 2011 ending periods’ related party amounts
are due to the appointment of two members in June 2011 to
the Company’s Board of Directors, Mr. Philip Tracy
and Mr. Gore, who hold March 2010 convertible debt notes
in the amounts of $100,000 and $75,000,
respectively. Mr. Gore and Mr. Tracy are
nominated for election to the Company’s Board of
Directors.
On

amended to reduce the conversion price to $0.40 per share
upon a change in control of the Company. This
change in the conversion feature was evaluated under ASC

to September 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2011,
the Company had received signed amendment agreements from
100% of the note holders. This change in the
maturity date was evaluated under EITF 96-19

convertible debt notes now qualify as a debt
extinguishment and therefore are treated as if the
Company settled the debt prior to the maturity date
amendment and then entered into an entirely new debt
agreement after the amendment. (see Note 8)
In
connection with the offering, we incurred cash fees of
$164,750 and issued 659,000 shares of restricted common
stock, valued at $171,340 based on the grant-date fair
value of our common stock. These fees were
included in the deferred financing costs in our
consolidated balance sheet and were being amortized over
the original term of the convertible notes using the
effective interest rate method. During the
three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and the
three-month period ended June 30, 2010, we amortized
approximately $49,900 and approximately $45,000,
respectively, of deferred financing cost.
Due
to the determination to extinguish the original
convertible debt notes and related accounts, as of June
24, 2011, we wrote off the remainder of the unamortized
deferred financing asset of approximately $130,300 and
the derivative liability of $770,860. These
transactions resulted in a net “non-cash”
gain of approximately $640,600 due to the extinguishment
of the original 2010 convertible debt
notes.
On
June 24, 2011, as per ASC 815-40, we evaluated the fair
value of the derivative liability (using the BWMS closing
share price of $0.55) and recorded a net
“non-cash” loss of approximately $78,400,
which represents the change in the fair value of the
derivative from March 31, 2011 through June 24,
2011. Additionally as per EITF 96-19, we
evaluated the fair value of the derivative related to the
amended convertible debt notes as of June 24, 2011 (using
the BWMS closing share price of $0.55) and recorded a new
derivative liability of $1,645,253. This
amount will be amortized over the new remaining life of
the notes, until September 30, 2013. On June
30, 2011, as per ASC 815-40, we evaluated the fair value
of the derivative liability again (using the BWMS closing
share price of $0.51) and recorded a net
“non-cash” gain of approximately $148,800.
These
transactions resulted in a net “non-cash”
gain of approximately $70,400 due to changes in the
derivative liability of the 2010 convertible debt
notes.
In
summary, the Company recorded a net
“non-cash” gain of approximately $1,400,000
related to the extinguishment of the original convertible
debt notes and the Company recorded a net
“non-cash” gain of approximately $225,000
related to changes in the fair market value of the
derivative liabilities associated with the convertible
debt notes.
