RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 2009, the Company executed a 10% convertible note payable in the amount of $102,236 originally due December 31, 2010 to John Evey for amounts loaned to the Company. Mr. Evey joined the Board of Directors on April 27, 2010. Through a series of extensions, the note due date was extended to December 31, 2017. During the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company made principal payments totaling $3,000 on this note. The balance of the note as of March 31, 2017 is $71,616 with accrued interest amounting to $52,073 (See Note 6). Although as of December 31, 2016, Mr. Evey is no longer a director, because he was our Chairman and a related party since 2010, we have continued to classify this note as a Convertible Note Payable - related parties in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

In June 2015, Gemini Master Fund Ltd sold a 70.0066819% stake in its’ note to Robert Noble, our former Chairman and former owner of over 10% of our outstanding common stock, in a private transaction. The Company issued two replacement notes for their respective ownership values based on this transaction. In regards to the note for Mr. Noble, he agreed to an extension of his note to March 31, 2016. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company made a $100,000 payment to Mr. Noble to pay down the accrued interest on this note. Effective January 20, 2016, Mr. Noble entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with a firm affiliated with Jay S. Potter, a director of the Company (the “Optionee”), pursuant to which the Optionee has the right to purchase or arrange for the purchase of the Note from Mr. Noble and all of Mr. Noble’s shares in the Company (the “Option”), at any time until March 31, 2016. This date was subsequently extended. The Company consented to the Purchase Option Agreement. Under a Note Settlement and General Release Agreement, provided that the Option is fully exercised and honored, the Company agreed to grant Mr. Noble the right to acquire, for one dollar, at any time until June 30, 2017, a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to utilize all of the Company intellectual property developed prior to January 1, 2011, except for the following: (i) EV ARC™ and (ii) EnvisionTrak™. Further, provided the Option was exercised in full and Mr. Noble complied with it, the Company would extend the expiration date of the 1,138,120 warrants to purchase 1,138,120 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Mr. Noble (the “Warrants”) from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017, and will reduce the exercise price of such Warrants from $0.24 to $0.20 per share (See Note 6). During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company was notified that a transaction, or series of transactions, arranged by GreenCore, had officially closed whereas the convertible note and the “Noble” shares were ultimately obtained by a group of various shareholders, some of which are related parties to the Company. As the note was partially held by a related party shareholder at the end of 2016 and was held by other related party shareholders during its existence, the note was classified as Convertible Notes Payable- Related Parties in the accompanying balance sheets. Effective as of February 15, 2017, the Company received conversion notices from all the current note holders effecting the conversion of the entire principal balance of the note amounting to $600,000 and accrued and unpaid interest, as of February 15, 2017, amounting to $104,709. The Company issued 4,698,060 shares of common stock at the contracted conversion price of $0.15 per share, to retire the entirety of this convertible note. Of these shares, 2,315,940 shares were issued to Keshif Ventures, LLC, a related party by virtue of owning more than 10% of the Company’s stock.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company released 187,500 shares of common stock valued at $0.15 per share (based on the share value at the time of their agreements) or $28,125, to three directors under their respective agreements. These payments were expensed at issuance (See Note 10).
