EMBEDDED DERIVATIVE LIABILITY.

As described in Note 4, the Company issued convertible debt notes in October 2009 and March 2010.  The notes are convertible at $0.50 per share, or $0.40 per share upon a change in control of the Company.  Based on the alternative conversion options, the Company determined that the conversion options in the notes should be accounted for as derivatives.  The Company used the Black Scholes model to determine the fair value of each of the conversion options as of September 30, 2011, assigning a probability of occurrence to each conversion option.  The final fair value of each of the derivative liabilities considered the likelihood of conversion at the separate conversion prices.

On June 24, 2011 as per ASC 470 the Company amended the notes to extend the maturity date from October 15, 2011 to October 15, 2013 for the October 2009 Notes and from March 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 for the March 2010 Notes.  As a result of these changes to the maturity dates, the Company compared the fair values of the embedded derivative liabilities using the maturity dates immediately prior to and after the modification date to determine if the amendments should be accounted for as a debt extinguishment.

October 2009 notes:

On the date of the amendment (June 24, 2011), we first calculated the fair market value of the derivative liability prior to the amendment modification and determined the fair market value of the derivative liability was $820,800 and as a result recorded a net loss on this adjustment of $115,378.  This was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 95.01%, risk free rate of 0.8%, an expected term of approximately four months and a current stock price of $0.55.

We then calculated the fair value of the derivative liability after the amendment modification and determined the fair market value was $2,870,987, which was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 195.2%, risk free rate of 0.8%, an expected term of approximately twenty-eight months and a current stock price of $0.55.

At the end of the June 30, 2011 reporting period, the fair value of the derivative liability was $2,601,092, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $269,895.  The fair value was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 188.74%, risk free rate of 0.7%, an expected term of approximately twenty-eight months and a current stock price of $0.51.

At the end of the September 30, 2011 reporting period, the fair value of the derivative liability was $2,143,206, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $457,886.  The fair value was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 151.67%, risk free rate of 0.27%, an expected term of approximately twenty-five months and a current stock price of $0.45.

March 2010 notes:

On the date of the amendment (June 24, 2011), we first calculated the fair market value of the derivative liability prior to the amendment modification and determined the fair market value of the derivative liability was $770,860 and as a result recorded a net loss on this adjustment of $78,371.  This was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 109.41%, risk free rate of 0.8%, an expected term of approximately nine months and a current stock price of $0.55.

We then calculated the fair value of the derivative liability after the amendment modification and determined the fair market value was $1,645,253, which was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 189.35%, risk free rate of 0.8%, an expected term of approximately twenty-seven months and a current stock price of $0.55.

At the end of the June 30, 2011 reporting period, the fair value of the derivative liability was $1,496,424, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $148,829.  The fair value was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 185.23%, risk free rate of 0.7%, an expected term of approximately twenty-seven months and a current stock price of $0.51.

At the end of the September 30, 2011 reporting period, the fair value of the derivative liability was $1,243,745, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $252,679.  The fair value was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 152.12%, risk free rate of 0.27%, an expected term of approximately twenty-four months and a current stock price of $0.45.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded an aggregate gain of $935,540 as a result of these transactions.
