In the fourth quarter of 2012, in an effort to raise capital, the Company entered into various Secured Promissory Note agreements with accredited investors, who are also existing stockholders of the Company. As of December 31, 2013, $400,000 was raised, of which $325,000 was raised in 2012 and $75,000 in the first quarter 2013. Upon closing, the Company issued to the investors three-year warrants for the purchase of 400,000 shares (in the aggregate) of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.41 per share and a commitment to issue additional warrants on December 1, 2013. On December 1, 2013, the Company issued additional three year warrants for 400,000 shares to the investors at an exercise price equal to $.21 per share (the average price of the common stock during the 10 trading days prior to December 1, 2013). See revisions to warrants discussed below.

 

The promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum based on a 365-day year. Accrued interest was paid semi-annually on June 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2014. The entire principal balance of the Note, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2014. In the event the Company defaults on interest and/or principal payments, the Company will use all accounts receivable obtained now or hereafter existing, pursuant to the License Agreement from VDF FutureCeuticals Inc. (the “Licensee”), as collateral.

 

The Company analyzed the terms of the warrants based on the provisions of ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and determined that the warrants issued in conjunction with the closing of the notes payable qualified for equity accounting. The commitment to issue warrants on December 1, 2013 was classified as derivative liabilities until issuance on December 1, 2013. On December 1, 2013 the Company determined that the warrants qualified as equity accounting and as such the Company reclassified the fair value of the derivative liability to equity at December 1, 2013.

 

Under guidance in ASC 470, the Company allocated the $400,000 in proceeds proportionately between the Secured Promissory Note and the common stock warrants issued to the note holders based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the common stock warrants was $176,000, of which $88,000 ($16,500 in Q1 2013) was recorded as additional paid in capital and $88,000 ($16,500 in Q1 2013) was recorded as a derivative liability. The Secured Promissory Note was recorded at the principal amount of $400,000 less a discount of $176,000. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Secured Promissory Note to related parties using the effective interest method. The fair value of the common stock warrants issued in conjunction with the Secured Promissory Notes was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company determined the fair value of its common stock warrants to be $0.22 per warrant issued with an exercise price of $0.41 per warrant. 

 

In the fourth quarter 2014, the Note Holders agreed to extend the maturity date of the Note principal balance to December 31, 2016. In connection with the Note extension, the Company revised the terms of the original warrants issued December 31, 2012, extending the expiration date from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2017 and the exercise price was reduced from $0.41 per share to $0.39 per share. The Company also revised the terms of the additional warrants to extend the expiration date to December 31, 2018 and the exercise price was reduced from $.21 per share to $0.17 per share. The relative fair value of the common stock warrants recorded as additional paid in capital was $25,765. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the extended term of the Secured Promissory Note to related parties using the effective interest method. The fair value of the modified common stock warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

On May 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Edward Gomez, a Company shareholder, for $30,000. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum based on a 365-day year. The entire principal balance, along with the accrued interest was due on May 19, 2014.

 

On May 5, 2014, the Company entered into a Note Extension Agreement with Mr. Gomez to extend the maturity date of the principal balance to May 19, 2015 and paid the accrued interest of $3,000 through May 19, 2014.
