NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Exchange of Convertible Debentures

 

Immediately subsequent to its purchase of 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock on November 18, 2013, 112359 Factor Fund, LLC (“Factor Fund”) entered into assignment agreements with seven holders of eight convertible promissory notes issued by the Registrant in 2012 and 2013. The aggregate of the principal balance and accrued interest on the notes was $779,591, and all of the notes were past due and otherwise in default. The assignment agreements provided that Factor Fund transferred the 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the note holders, and the note holders assigned the eight notes to Factor Fund.

 

Immediately thereafter, Factor Fund entered into eight Exchange Agreements with the Registrant. The Exchange Agreements provided that Factor Fund would surrender the eight convertible promissory notes and receive in exchange eight Amended and Restated Convertible Debentures (“A&R Debentures”). The principal amount of each A&R Debenture equaled approximately 128.3% of aggregate principal and accrued interest surrendered in exchange for the A&R Debenture. The primary terms of the A&R Debentures are:

  

 

  Interest will accrue on the principal balance at the lesser of 8% per annum or the applicable federal rate.
     
  Principal and interest are due on December 31, 2015.
     
  The Company may prepay the A&R Debentures at any time, but must issue, as a prepayment penalty, common stock with a market value equal to 5% of the principal amount prepaid.
     
  The holder may convert the principal and interest accrued on the A&R Debentures into common stock at a conversion price equal to 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the common stock for the thirty trading days preceding conversion, but may not convert into a number of shares that would result in the holder owning beneficially more than 4.99% of the Registrant’s outstanding shares.
     
  The holder may not sell the shares issued on conversion at a rate that exceeds 20% of the average monthly trading volume for the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company determined per ASC 470-50-40-10a, that the fair value of the embedded conversion option in the reissued convertible notes as a result of the change in conversion price and term, increased by more than 10% from the original notes. Therefore, debt extinguishment accounting rules apply. Accordingly, the reissued convertible notes payable were initially recorded at fair value, with a loss on extinguishment of debt of $220,408 for the difference in the fair value of the new notes compared to the carrying value of the old notes.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 $82,500 of principal was converted into 825,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 26, 2015, the balance of the note of $534,888 was transferred to Five Nine Group LLC and Flux Carbon Starter Fund LLC. All primary terms of the A&R Debentures stayed unchanged except the following:

 

  The holder may convert the principal and interest accrued on the A&R Debentures into common stock at a conversion price equal to 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the common stock for the sixty trading days preceding conversion, but may not convert into a number of shares that would result in the holder owning beneficially more than 4.99% of the Registrant’s outstanding shares.

 

The Company accounted for the transfer as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $509,476.

 

On May 5, 2014, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $32,500 to an accredited investor. The note has a maturity date of February 9, 2015. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of 59% of the average of the three (3) lowest per share market values during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding a conversion date. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an interest expense of $1,635. The Company accounted for the conversion feature as a derivative valued at $36,411, of which $32,500 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the note. The remaining $3,911 was expensed immediately to interest expense. As of June 30, 2015, the note and accrued interest was fully repaid.

 

On August 5, 2014 the Registrant entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 112359 Factor Fund, LLC (“Factor Fund”), pursuant to which the Registrant sold to Factor Fund a Secured Convertible Debenture. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that Factor Fund will make ten payments, commencing with a payment of $80,000 on August 5, 2014, followed monthly by eight payments of $25,000 each and one $20,000 payment (i.e. total payments of $300,000). In exchange for each payment, an obligation in the principal amount equal to twice the payment will accrue and be represented by the Debenture. In addition, a premium of $50,000 will be added to the initial obligation, resulting in a total principal obligation accruing over the next year of $650,000. The primary terms of the Debentures are:

 

  Interest will accrue on the principal balance at the lesser of 8% per annum or the applicable federal rate.
     
  Principal and interest on each tranche will be due on the second anniversary of the payment date for that tranche.
     
  The Registrant may prepay the principal amount of the Debenture, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty, and interest that has accrued on the prepaid amount will be waived.
     
  The holder may convert the principal and interest accrued on the Debenture into common stock at a conversion price equal to 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the common stock for the sixty trading days preceding conversion, but may not convert into a number of shares that would result in the holder owning beneficially more than 9.99% of the Registrant’s outstanding shares.

 

The Registrant’s obligations under the Debenture are secured by a pledge of all of the Registrant’s assets. In addition, Hubert Blanchette and Marilu Brassington, who are officers and directors of the Registrant, have pledged a total of 666 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 362,500,000 shares of common stock to secure the Registrant’s obligations under the Debenture. The Company accounted for the conversion features as a derivative valued at $407,504, of which $396,370 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the note, the remaining $11,134 was expensed immediately to interest expense.

 

On August 5, 2014 the Registrant entered into a letter agreement with Factor Fund that modified the terms of the Secured Amended& Restated Convertible Debentures issued by the Registrant to Factor Fund on November 18, 2013 (the “A&R Debentures”). The modifications:

 

  increased the maximum number of shares that Factor Fund can hold upon conversion of the A&R Debentures from 4.99% of the outstanding to 9.99%.
     
  changed the period over which the conversion price will be measured from the 30 trading days preceding conversion to the 60 trading days preceding conversion.
     
  eliminated the restriction on the number of shares of common stock that Factor Fund can sell in a month.

 

On February 26, 2015, the balance of the note of $650,000 was transferred to Five Nine Group LLC and Flux Carbon Starter Fund LLC. All primary terms of the A&R Debentures stayed unchanged except the following:

 

  The holder may convert the principal and interest accrued on the A&R Debentures into common stock at a conversion price equal to 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the common stock for the sixty trading days preceding conversion, but may not convert into a number of shares that would result in the holder owning beneficially more than 4.99% of the Registrant’s outstanding shares.

 

The Company accounted for the transfer as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $437,206.
