NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

 

Asset and Business Acquisitions

 

On February 1, 2010, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with VHGI Holdings, Inc. (“VHGI”), a Delaware corporation.  The total purchase price of $500,000, which consisted of $100,000 in cash and a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000 (the “WMT Note”), was paid for certain assets and liabilities. On December 29, 2011 all of these assets and liabilities were sold along with the eHealth subsidiary with the exception the  $1,500,000 Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note Receivable issued by Private Access, Inc. (the “Private Access Note” see Note 4 “Notes Receivable”).

 

Scott A. Haire, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), also served as Chairman and the Chief Financial Officer of VHGI.  Based on shares outstanding as of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by VHGI for the year ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Haire beneficially owns, individually and through H.E.B., LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“HEB”) of which Mr. Haire is the managing member, 25% of the outstanding common stock of VHGI.

 

Distribution Agreement

 

As disclosed in our Form 8-K filing on April 14, 2011, Juventas, LLC (“Juventas”) purchased the exclusive right to sell the CellerateRX powder products in North America. This multi-year agreement has escalating sales requirements for Juventas to retain such exclusive rights.  We received an ‘upfront’ non-refundable payment of $500,000 from Juventas for this exclusive right to distribute CellerateRX powder, which was recorded as revenue in the first quarter of 2011.

 

The Distribution Agreement was subsequently amended on November 23, 2011, at which point the Company and WCI entered into a Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which they issued to Juventas a Convertible Secured Promissory Note in the amount of $500,000 (see Note 5 “Notes Payable”).  In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company, WCI, and certain of their affiliates entered into a security agreement with Juventas, pursuant to which the Promissory Note was secured by all inventory of the Company and WCI (together with any proceeds of such inventory). Additionally, certain affiliates of the Company entered into guaranty agreements with Juventas with respect to amounts owed under the Promissory Note (the “Guarantees” and, collectively with the Distribution Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, and the Guarantees, the “Juventas Agreements”).

 

On March 20, 2012, the Company, Juventas, and certain other parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Juventas Agreements were effectively terminated and all amounts owed and other claims thereunder were settled as more specifically set forth therein. As the result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has reacquired its North American distribution rights, as well as the rights under certain sub-distribution agreements entered into by Juventas in respect of WCI’s CellerateRX Powder product.

 

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company, WCI, and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Company Parties”), issued to Juventas a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $930,000.  The Company Parties also entered into a security agreement with Juventas pursuant to which the note was secured by all inventory of the Company Parties (together with any proceeds of such inventory), and certain affiliates of the Company entered into guaranty agreements with Juventas with respect to amounts owed under the note.

 

On March 20, 2012, the Company executed a secured promissory note payable to Juventas, LLC in the amount of $930,000 related to the Settlement Agreement (see Note 3).  As of June 30, 2012, the principal balance of $930,000 and $20,791 of accrued interest remained due.  In July 2012, the Company reached agreement with Juventas that upon payment of $880,000, all remaining principal of, and accrued interest on, the Juventas secured promissory note would be forgiven. The Company made such payment in July of 2012, at which point the note was cancelled. (See Note 11 “Subsequent Events).

 

Officers and Directors

 

On March 22, 2012 Robert Lutz, Jr. was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company.  In addition, Scott A. Haire resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Deborah Jenkins Hutchinson resigned as President of the Company, and Mr. Lutz was elected as the new Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Haire continued to serve as CFO and a Director until his resignation on May 25, 2012.

 

Ms. Jenkins Hutchinson remained a director of the Company.  On February 9, 2012 Mr. Steve Evans resigned as a Director. On June 5, 2012, Mr. Gilbert Valdez resigned as a Director.

 

On March 23, 2012 Mr. Frank Wolfe, III joined the Company as VP of Sales.  Mr. Wolfe was a member of the Juventas management team and has carried their sales initiatives forward for the Company.

On or about June 4, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a Complaint against the Company and Scott A. Haire, a former officer and director of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.  The Complaint alleges that from at least July through November 2009, the Company and Haire engaged in a fraudulent scheme and market manipulation involving the Company’s stock.  The Complaint alleges that (a) Haire arranged to sell Company restricted stock to an FBI agent posing as the trustee of a pension fund and to pay that person a kickback for engaging in the transaction; and (b) Haire arranged to make payments to a fictitious person, putatively a broker, in exchange for the broker’s trading in company stock timed with Company press releases.  The Complaint asserts claims for violations of Section 17(a) (1) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  The Complaint seeks (a) a declaration that the Company and Haire committed those violations; (b) an injunction against the further commission of such violations; (c)disgorgement; (d) civil money penalties; (e) an order barring Haire from participating in any offering of a penny stock; and (f) an order barring Haire from acting as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act or that is require to tile reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act.

 

The Company, separate from Mr. Haire, is engaged in settlement discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning a potential settlement of the action against the Company, and has requested and obtained an extension of time until September 4, 2012 in which the Company is required to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint to allow those settlement discussion to conclude.

 

On July 13, 2012, Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”) filed suit against the Company and certain of its affiliates in connection with a Securities Purchase Agreement by and between Tonaquint and the Company under which Tonaquint purchased a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $560,000. The suit alleges, among other things, a failure of the Company to make certain payments and to honor a conversion notice delivered pursuant to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note. The Company is defending this suit and is currently in negotiations to reach a settlement agreement.
