NOTE 4 — Related Party Convertible Notes Payable

 

On September 4, 2013, the Company replaced $350,000 of convertible notes plus accrued interest (total of $380,696) originally issued to officers and directors of the Company on August 1, 2012 and maturing on August 1, 2014, with four year convertible notes expiring September 4, 2017. The replacement notes have an interest rate of 8% per annum that compounds quarterly, and contain a holder call provision that becomes effective on September 4, 2014. The replacement notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at $2.44 per share as long as warrants issued on November 19, 2010 are outstanding (expire May 20, 2016), or at $1.25 per share. The original issuance of convertible notes on August 1, 2012 was in the amount of $400,000. The notes are being used for working capital purposes. In April 2013, $25,000 of the original convertible notes were repaid. In September 2013, $350,000 of the notes were reissued as discussed previously. At March 31, 2014, $25,000 of the original notes were outstanding. These remaining original notes plus related accrued interest were repaid in April 2014. The convertible notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit with the Company’s bank.

 

On September 4, 2013, the Company also replaced $350,000 of convertible notes plus accrued interest (total of $371,929) issued to the Company’s Chairman at various dates in the fourth quarter of 2012 and maturing on August 1, 2014, with four year convertible notes expiring September 4, 2017. The replacement notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at $2.44 per share as long as warrants previously issued on November 19, 2010 are outstanding (expire May 20, 2016), or at the closing market price on the date of note issue of $1.25 per share, have eliminated the holder call provision contained in the original notes, and have an interest rate that compounds quarterly of 18% per annum during the period in which the November 19, 2010 warrants are outstanding, or 12% per annum. Previously on November 5, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to $350,000 in convertible subordinated notes to its Chairman to be used for working capital purposes. At various dates beginning November 7, 2012 through December 12, 2012 the Company issued in total $350,000 of such notes to its Chairman. The original notes were identical to the notes issued on August 1, 2012 as described in the preceding paragraph, with the exception of the conversion price of which the weighted average fair market value conversion price was $1.04 per share as long as warrants previously issued on November 19, 2010 were no longer outstanding. The notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit with the Company’s bank.

 

The Company determined per ASC 470-50-40-10a, that the fair value of the embedded conversion option in the reissued convertible notes as a result of the change in conversion price and term, increased by more than 10% from the original notes. Therefore, debt extinguishment accounting rules apply. Accordingly, the reissued convertible notes payable were initially recorded at fair value; however, as there was no difference between the reissued amount of the notes and the net carrying amount of the original notes, no gain or loss was recorded.

 

Interest expense related to all convertible subordinated notes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $25,686 and $14,849, respectively. The related accrued interest at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $60,523 and $34,837, respectively.
