Notes Payable | Note 10. Notes Payable On April 11, 2011, the Company and Octagon Capital Partners (“Octagon”), an accredited investor, entered into a securities purchase agreement in which Octagon purchased from the Company a convertible debenture, in the principal amount of $750,000. The debenture carried an interest rate of 0% per annum and was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at any time commencing on the date of the debenture at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The debenture was due and payable on December 1, 2011. In connection therewith, the Company also issued the following warrants to Octagon: 187,500 Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at $3.00 per share, 93,750 Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at $5.00 per share and 93,750 Series C Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at $10.00 per share. Total commissions and fees payable to the placement agent in connection with this transaction are $90,000 in cash, 42,187 Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at $3.00 per share and 14,062 Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at $5.00 per share. Warrants issued to the placement agent in this transaction had a fair value at issuance of $284,121 which was recorded as a debt issuance cost and was being accreted to interest expense over the term of the debenture. Upon issuance of the debenture, the Company accounted for the transaction under the guidance of ASC 470-Debt and ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging. As the ultimate conversion rates could change due to a ”down-round” provision, the Company bifurcated the conversion option and recorded a derivative liability which was adjusted to market each reporting period. The derivative liability was initially valued at $222,674 on the date of the transaction and was recorded as a debt discount with a credit to a derivative liability. The change in fair value of the derivative liability recognized totaled approximately $0 and $209,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The derivative liability was re-measured at a fair value of $13,323 on August 28, 2011, the effective date of the Company’s closing of its $1,800,000 convertible debenture transaction. As the conversion price of the debentures became fixed, the fair value of the derivative liability was reclassified to equity as it no longer met bifurcation criteria on August 28, 2011. The relative fair value of the detachable warrants, initially recorded at $527,326, was recorded as a debt discount and was initially being accreted to interest expense under the effective interest rate method over the term of the debenture, due December 1, 2011. On August 17, 2011, Octagon entered into an Amendment to its convertible debenture modifying the conversion option. The Amendment was entered into in connection with the Company’s Bridge Debenture transaction concluded on August 28, 2011. The Amendment transaction was treated as an extinguishment of debt related to the original Octagon note, effective on August 28, 2011, the closing date of the 12% convertible debenture transaction. Accordingly, the carrying value of the Octagon debenture on August 28, 2011 of $193,650, including the unaccredited balances in the related note discount and debt issuance cost of $277,524 were written-off with a loss on extinguishment of debt being recognized of $2,950,513 and a fair value of the modified note obligation being recognized of $3,144,163. The fair value of the modified note was determined by fair valuing 1,171,875 common shares and 1,171,875 related investor warrants as of August 29, 2011, the modification date. On October 28, 2011, the Company converted the Octagon convertible debentures into Units of the Company’s Unit Offering. See Note 7.

Commencing in November 2009 through March 2010, the Company issued a series of 12% Senior Working Capital Notes and Revenue Participation Agreements totaling $687,500 in gross proceeds with net proceeds of $581,750 after related costs of $105,750. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Working Capital Notes, the Company recognized deferred financing costs of $105,750 and a discount on the notes attributable to the fair value of the common shares issued of $309,375. These costs were initially being accreted over the life of the notes. Subsequent to issuance, and at March 31, 2010, the notes were in default for failure to pay the required interest. As a result of the default, the notes became immediately callable by the note holders. Accordingly, the unaccreted balances remaining attributable to financing costs and Note discount were charged to interest expense. Due to the default status of the notes for failure to make timely interest payments, during the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a series of Amendment and Exchange Agreements, modifying the terms and conditions of their 12% Senior Working Capital Notes and Revenue Participation Agreements, which totaled $687,500. In May 2010, concurrent with the completion of the Merger Agreement, the Amended and Restated Senior Working Capital Notes totaling $687,500 were converted, at the contractual agreed upon rate of $1.334 per share, resulting in the issuance of 515,360 common shares. Also, as provided in the amended note agreements, upon conversion, the note holders were paid interest through December 31 2010, the maturity date. Actual interest earned prior to conversion plus the additional interest through the maturity date totaled $84,379. The entire interest payment was paid in cash and charged to interest expense in May 2010. In March 2010, the Company borrowed $50,000 under a note agreement. The note was due on or before the earlier of (a) the initial closing of the Company’s then pending 2010 Private Placement or (b) August 30, 2010, the maturity date. The note provided that in the event there was no closing of the 2010 Private Placement prior to the maturity date, the note holder will forgive $25,000 and the related accrued interest. The note carried an interest rate of 12% per annum and could be prepaid at anytime; however, in the event of a prepayment, the company was obligated to pay interest through the maturity date. The lender in this transaction was an officer of the placement agent in the Company’s 2010 Private Placement. In May 2010, upon completion of the 2010 Private Placement, the note and related accrued interest were paid-in full. | Note 10. Notes Payable Commencing in November 2009 through March 2010, the Company issued a series of 12% Senior Working Capital Notes and Revenue Participation Agreements totaling $687,500 in gross proceeds with net proceeds of $581,750 after related costs of $105,750. Terms of the Senior Working Capital Notes included:
| · | 22,500 common shares issued to the Note investor for each $50,000 invested;
| · | Mandatory partial conversions: In the event of a subsequent financing of $2,000,000 or more, 50% of the investors Note principal would automatically be converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 66.6% of the subsequent financing price;
| · | Voluntary conversion: Following a Mandatory partial conversion, the Note investor may, at their option, convert the remaining 50% of their Note principal into common shares at a conversion price equal to 66.6% of the subsequent financing price;

The terms of the Amended and Restated Senior Working Capital Notes modified the terms of the original notes providing:
| · | The revenue sharing provision was waived.
| · | The definition of Subsequent Financing, which triggered certain conversion provisions, was modified such that Subsequent Financing was amended to mean prior to the note maturity date, the Company closed a reverse acquisition or recapitalization transaction whereby the Company becomes a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
| · | Interest payment provisions were modified such that in the event of a redefined Subsequent Financing, interest would be paid through the maturity date, December 31, 2010, within thirty days.
| · | Prepayment provisions were eliminated.
| · | The partial mandatory conversion provisions were modified such that in the event of a subsequent financing, 100% of the outstanding notes shall automatically convert into common shares of the Company at the conversion price.
In May 2010, concurrent with the completion of the Merger Agreement, the Amended and Restated Senior Working Capital Notes totaling $687,500 were converted, at the contractual agreed upon rate of $1.334 per share, resulting in the issuance of 515,367 common shares.
