NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On November 24, 2011, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement unit offering that raised $180,000 in gross proceeds, $50,000 of which were received from related parties.  Each $1,000 unit consisted of one 8.5% unsecured convertible note and 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The notes have a 12-month term and are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share at any time prior to the maturity date, which is November 23, 2012.  The notes require interest only payments on a quarterly basis.

 

The convertible notes contain provisions that will allow the Company to force conversion, if the lowest daily closing bid price of the Company’s Common Shares for each of the sixty-five (65) trading days immediately preceding the redemption notice is not less than $1.50 per such Common Share; or the Company completes one or more offerings of its Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares at a price or conversion price, as the case may be, of not less than $1.50 per such Common Share and the gross proceeds from such offering(s) total not less than $5,000,000.  At December 31, 2011, the lenders had advanced $180,000 under this financing agreement, $50,000 of which were received from related parties.

 

The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature and the debt discount associated with the equity issued in connection with the convertible debts were recorded based on the relative fair value of the equity in relation to the debt in accordance with ASC 470.  The total initial beneficial conversion feature recorded for the convertible notes and on the equity equaled $125,874 and $54,126, respectively.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company has amortized $18,245 of the total debt discount leaving an amortized debt discount of $161,755.

 

On December 8, 2011, the Company executed a convertible promissory note in the amount of $52,500.  The note bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and has a maturity date of September 12, 2012.  Any amount of principal or interest not paid in full at maturity will bear an interest rate of 22 percent.  The convertible promissory note may be converted in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, to shares of common stock at any time following 180 days after the issuance date of the note.  The conversion price under the note is 59 percent multiplied by the market price (representing a 41 percent discount rate).
