NOTES PAYABLE

On February 3, 2012, the Company issued a senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000 with an original issuance discount of $50,000, plus $3,500 in lender fees to two of its existing shareholders.  In connection with the note, the Company incurred expenses of $21,800 for legal and other fees. Accordingly, net cash proceeds from the note amounted to $474,700. Unless earlier converted, exchanged or prepaid, the note matures on February 2, 2013. The note may be prepaid by the Company at any time. The obligations under the note are first priority senior secured obligations (subject to an equipment lease) and are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The face value of the note may be exchanged at the option of the holders into the applicable dollar amount of equity securities issued by the Company in a subsequent financing. The holders may convert the outstanding principal amount of the note at a conversion price of 90% of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the trading day prior to the date that the note becomes convertible, subject to further adjustment in the case of stock splits, reclassifications, reorganizations, certain issuances at less than the conversion price and the like. The Company is further subject to certain liquidated damages if it fails to timely effectuate a conversion under the terms of the note. Until such time that the note is no longer outstanding, without the consent of the holders, the Company is prohibited from incurring certain debt, selling any account receivable or declaring any dividend. The carrying value of this $550,000 note, inclusive of interest amortization as of September 30, 2012, was $527,183.

On May 4, 2012, the Company issued a 30-day promissory note to two of its existing shareholders in the principal amount of $75,000 incurring $6,000 in expenses for legal fees which resulted in net proceeds of $69,000. In June 2012, the note was extended until December 4, 2012 and the parties agreed that the noteholders could convert the note at any time on or before the maturity date into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) 90% of the then market price based on a volume weighted average price per share of the Company's common stock as quoted on Bloomberg for the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. The note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum with a default rate of 18% per annum. The note automatically will convert into shares of the Company's common stock if the Company completes a public offering of its securities for gross proceeds of not less than $10,000,000. The carrying value of this $75,000 note, inclusive of interest amortization as of September 30, 2012, was $69,381.

Proceeds from the note financings were allocated first to the embedded conversion option (see Note 3) that required bifurcation and recognition as a liability at fair value and then to the carrying value of the notes. The carrying value of the notes is subject to amortization, through charges to interest expense, over the term to maturity using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest expense on the notes amounted to $24,138 and $52,840, respectively. Direct finance costs allocated to the embedded derivatives were expensed in full upon issuance of the notes. Direct finance costs allocated to the notes are subject to amortization, through charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest expense related to the amortization of finance costs amounted to $7,666 and $18,700, respectively.
