Note 11. Related Party Transactions

Our Chief Executive Officer had loaned the Company funds in the past to meet short-term working capital needs. These loans totaled $107,000, with related accrued interest of $0 and $2,354 at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The loan was unsecured and carried an interest rate of 12% per annum. In May 2010, this obligation was formalized through the issuance of a 12% Convertible Promissory Note payable in the principal amount of $107,000, due May 25, 2011. The 12% Convertible Promissory Note was convertible into common shares of the Company at $1.50 per share and carried an interest rate of 12% per annum. The conversion feature of the Promissory Note proved beneficial under the guidance of ASC 470--Debt. Accordingly, a beneficial conversion feature of $107,000 was recognized and was accreted to interest expense over the initial one year term of the note. The accreted note payable to officer balance totaled $0 and $91,219 at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. On May 25, 2011, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity one additional year under the same terms.

On August 18, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer entered into a Subordination Agreement relating to his note. In connection with our Bridge Debenture offering in the amount of $1,800,000, Mr. Rogai agreed to subordinate his position to that of the Bridge Offering investors. On October 28, 2011, the note in the principal amount of $107,000 was converted into Units offered in connection with the Company’s October 28, 2011 financing. As a result, Mr. Rogai received 133,750 common shares and 133,750 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share. See Note 7.
