AMENDED AND RESTATED SERIES A 12% CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In June 2010, we entered into Amended and Restated 12% Series A Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Amended and Restated Notes") with the holders of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company (“Amended Series A 10% Convertible Notes” or the "Prior Notes"), and all amendments to the Prior Notes.

The Amended and Restated Notes, in the principal amount of $900,000 matured on December 31, 2010. In connection with the restructuring we paid $54,001 of accrued and default interest through the date of the restructuring, liquidated damages of $205,000 and $54,003 of prepaid interest through the expiration date in the aggregate amount of $313,004 through the issuance of units ("Units") at a fixed rate of $0.20 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $0.20 per share as prescribed in the Amended and Restated Note Agreement. The noteholders have antidilution price protection on the Amended and Restated Notes.

In addition to the extension of the expiration date of the Amended and Restated Notes to December 31, 2010, we agreed to increase the annual interest rate from ten percent to twelve percent. We also agreed to change the exercise prices on all of the warrants held by the noteholders to $0.20 per share, to change certain formerly contingent warrants to non-contingent warrants and to extend the expiration date of their warrants to February 2016.

As of December 31, 2010, the Amended and Restated Notes matured and as of March 31, 2013 remain in default. We are accruing interest at the revised default rate of 20% following the expiration date of December 31, 2010.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the holders of $15,000 of the Amended and Restated Notes converted their principal and related accrued interest into common stock per the conversion formula.

We have begun discussions with the noteholders regarding an extension to the notes but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms that we deem acceptable or at all. At March 31, 2013, the balance of the Amended and Restated Notes was $885,000 and interest payable on the Amended and Restated Notes totaled $398,250.

DECEMBER 2006 10% CONVERTIBLE NOTES

At March 31, 2013, one note representing $17,000 of the December 2006 10% Notes remained outstanding and in default. This note is convertible into our common stock at $0.17 per share. At March 31, 2013, the $17,000 balance of the note was in default and interest payable on this note totaled $15,888 and we are recording interest at the default rate of 15%.

2008 10% CONVERTIBLE NOTES

One 2008 10% Convertible Note in the amount of $25,000 which matured in January 2010 remained outstanding at September 30, 2012. This note is convertible into our common stock at $0.50 per share. At March 31, 2013, the $25,000 principal balance was in default and interest payable on the remaining note totaled $15,417 and we are recording interest at the default rate of 15%.

OCTOBER & NOVEMBER 2009 10% CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In October and November 2009, we raised $430,000 from the sale to accredited investors of 10% convertible notes ("October & November 2009 10% Convertible Notes"). The October & November 2009 10% Convertible Notes matured at various dates between April 2011 and May 2011 and are convertible into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.25 per share prior to maturity. The investors also received matching three year warrants to purchase unregistered shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share. We measured the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the notes and recorded a 100% discount against the principal of the notes. We are amortizing this discount using the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

Deferred financing costs of $20,250 incurred in connection with this financing were issued in the form of a convertible note with warrants on the same terms as those received by the investors. We capitalized the $20,250 of deferred financing costs and amortized them over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

Prior to March 31, 2012, $355,000 of the October and November 2009 financing had been converted to common stock. On March 31, 2012, we agreed to extend the expiration date and to change the exercise price of certain warrants of one of the note holders by two years in exchange for the extension of $50,000 of the October & November 2009 10% Convertible Notes and the $75,000 April 2010 10% Convertible Note (see below) by that same two year period. We recorded a charge of $77,265 relating to this modification.

In July 2012, we issued 461,409 shares of common stock to the holder of the $25,000 note in exchange for the value of the principal and related accrued interest of $8,000 under the same terms that we used to sell units consisting of one share of common stock and one-half of a stock purchase warrant on June 29, 2012 (see Note 6). The 461,409 share issuance was priced based on 80% of the trailing five day average before issuance to be consistent with the equity unit structure. As part of that structure, the noteholder also received seven year warrants to purchase 230,705 share of common stock at a price of $0.107 per share. The $16,149 value of the warrant was calculated using the binomial lattice valuation methodology. We recorded a loss on conversion of $45,796 on the conversions.

At March 31, 2013, there was one note remaining for $50,000 and interest payable on that note was $20,000.

APRIL 2010 10% CONVERTIBLE NOTE

In April 2010, we raised $75,000 from the sale to an accredited investor of a 10% convertible note. The convertible note matured in October 2011 and is convertible into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.25 per share prior to maturity. The investor also received three year warrants to purchase 300,000 unregistered shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share.

We measured the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the notes and recorded a 100% discount against the principal of the notes. We amortized this discount using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

On March 31, 2012, we agreed to extend the expiration date and to change the exercise price of certain warrants of the note holder by two years in exchange for his extension of $50,000 of the October & November 2009 10% Convertible Notes and the $75,000 April 2010 10% Convertible Note by that same two year period. We recorded a charge of $77,265 relating to this modification.

At March 31, 2013, the remaining outstanding principal balance is $75,000 and interest payable on this note totaled $23,938.

JULY 2010 6% CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In July 2010, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Investor"), whereby we issued and sold, and the Investor purchased: (i) a Convertible Promissory Note of the Company in the principal amount of $890,000 (the "Company Note") and (ii) a Warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant"). As consideration for the issuance and sale of the Company Note and Warrant, the Investor paid cash in the amount of $400,000 and issued two Secured Trust Deed Notes to us (the "Trust Notes") each in the principal amount of $200,000. The variance of $90,000 represents fees and expenses paid by us and an original issue discount which was recorded as deferred offering costs.

Over the term of the Tonaquint Convertible Note, all of the principal and accrued interest was converted to common stock per the terms of the Convertible Note. On June 28, 2011, we entered into a Termination Agreement with Tonaquint under which both parties agreed to terminate the warrant to prevent continuing dilution of our common stock and to eliminate confusion or disagreement as to the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the warrant in the future. Accordingly, under the Termination Agreement we issued 3,599,913 shares of common stock upon the final exercise of the warrant, whereupon the warrant was terminated and is of no further force or effect. The Termination Agreement also provides for a "Common Stock Sale Limitation" on all of our common stock held by Tonaquint, Inc. Under the "Common Stock Sale Limitation", the daily limitation on the number of shares of common stock which Tonaquint, Inc. may sell into the market on any trading day is limited to the greater of (i) $5,000 of sales amount, or (ii) 10% of the Average Daily Volume of our common stock sold on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board, where the Average Daily Volume shall mean the average daily volume for the prior three month period as reported on each trading day on Yahoo Finance with respect to our common stock. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, Tonaquint, Inc. has waived and released us from any obligation to pay or perform any fees, penalties, costs, or assessments that were or are due, or would have become due, under the convertible note, the warrant and the note purchase agreement. In consideration of the termination of the warrant, the waiving of all fees, penalties, the creation of the selling program and other factors, we agreed to issue an unsecured non-convertible promissory note (the "New Note") in the principal amount of $360,185, which provides for annual interest at a rate of 6%, payable monthly in either cash or our stock, at our option. The New Note originally had a maturity date of April 30, 2012 and was subsequently extended to August 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the balance of this note was $131,381 and interest payable totaled $1,629 (see Note 4 and Note 14).

SEPTEMBER 2010 10% CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On September 3, 2010, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with three accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale of convertible promissory notes and corresponding warrants in the aggregate principal amount of $1,430,000. The initial closing under the Subscription Agreement resulted in the issuance and sale of (i) convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $743,600, (ii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,718,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.31125 per share, and (iii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,718,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.43575 per share. The convertible promissory notes bear interest compounded monthly at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) and matured on September 3, 2011. The aggregate gross cash proceeds were $650,000, the balance of the principal amount representing a due diligence fee and an original issuance discount. The convertible promissory notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the principal market on which the common stock trades or is quoted for the ten (10) trading days preceding the proposed conversion date. Subject to adjustment as described in the notes, the conversion price may not be more than $0.30 nor less than $0.20. There are no registration requirements with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the notes or the warrants.

The following conversions of the September 2010 10% Convertible Note have taken place during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

The convertible promissory notes bear interest compounded monthly at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) and matured on April 1, 2012. The aggregate gross cash proceeds to us were $350,000, the balance of the principal amount representing a due diligence fee and an original issuance discount. The convertible promissory notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the principal market on which the common stock trades or is quoted for the ten (10) trading days preceding the proposed conversion date. Subject to adjustment as described in the notes, the conversion price may not be more than $0.20 nor less than $0.10. There are no registration requirements with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the notes or the warrants.

In addition, we issued (i) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 812,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 812,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.175 per share to the Purchasers. These warrants were issued as an antidilution adjustment under certain common stock purchase warrants held by the Purchasers that were acquired from us in September 2010.

At March 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance was $400,400 and was in default and interest payable on these notes totaled $100,100 and we are recording interest at the default rate of 15%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we raised $357,656 in 10% convertible notes. Those notes had a fixed conversion price of $0.09 per share and carried an interest rate of 10%. The convertible notes matured in July and August 2012. We also issued those investors five year warrants to purchase 3,973,957 shares of common stock at $0.125 per share.

We measured the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the notes and recorded a $257,926 discount against the principal of the notes. We amortized this discount using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

Effective July 14, 2012, holders of three notes totaling $100,000 agreed to extend the expiration date of their notes to July 13, 2013.

At March 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance was $357,655, of which $257,655 was in default and interest payable on these notes totaled $68,704. Following the expiration of the maturity dates on the $257,655 of notes that are now in default, we began to accrue interest at the default interest rate of 15%.

On September 23, 2011, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale of convertible promissory notes and corresponding warrants in the aggregate principal amount of $253,760. The warrants carried a five-year term to purchase an aggregate of 3,625,143 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The convertible promissory notes do not bear an interest rate and mature on September 23, 2012. The aggregate net cash proceeds to us were $175,000, the balance of the principal amount representing a due diligence fee and an original issuance discount. The convertible promissory notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to $0.07. Subject to adjustments as described in the notes, the conversion price may not be more than $0.07. There are no registration requirements with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the notes or the warrants.

We measured the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the notes and recorded a $168,804 discount against the principal of the notes. We amortized this discount using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013		Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012
Principal converted	$	60,000	$	15,000

At March 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance was $178,760 and was in default and there was no accrued interest as these notes do not bear interest.

NOVEMBER 2011 CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In November 2011, we raised $525,000 in 5% Original Issue Discount Unsecured Convertible Debentures from five accredited investors pursuant to which the investors purchased an aggregate principal amount of $525,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. The debentures bear interest at 20% per annum and matured on April 20, 2012. The debentures will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price equal to $0.0779, subject to adjustment. In connection with the debentures, the purchasers received warrants to purchase 3,369,706 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.11, subject to adjustment.

Until December 31, 2012, upon any proposed issuance by us of our common stock or equivalents (or a combination thereof as defined in the subscription agreement) for cash consideration, the purchasers may elect, in their sole discretion, to exchange all or some of the debentures then held by such purchaser for any securities issued in a subsequent financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis, provided, however , this right shall not apply with respect to (i) an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the debenture) or (ii) an underwritten public offering of our common stock.

A Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) registered broker-dealer was engaged as placement agent in connection with the transaction. We paid the placement agent a cash fee in the amount of $50,000 (representing a 8% sales commission and a 2% unaccountable expense allowance) and issued the placement agent or its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate of 808,729 shares of common stock at $0.11 per share. The warrants issued to the placement agent may be exercised on a cashless basis. In the event the placement agent exercises the warrants on a cashless basis, we will not receive any proceeds.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, all of the outstanding principal balances on these notes and all related accrued interest of $53,803 were converted into common stock.

FEBRUARY 2012 CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In February 2012, we entered into a subscription agreement with five accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Purchasers purchased an aggregate principal amount of $525,000 of 5% Original Issue Discount Unsecured Convertible Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (the “Debenture”). These subscriptions represent the completion of the $1,000,000 securities offering that was initiated and priced in November 2011 (see above).

The Debentures bear interest at 20% per annum and matured on April 20, 2012. The Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price equal to $0.0779, subject to adjustment. In connection with the subscription agreement, the Purchasers received warrants to purchase 3,369,707 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.11 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Purchaser may exercise such Purchaser’s Warrant on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event the Purchasers exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis, we will not receive any proceeds. The conversion price of the Debenture and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Until December 31, 2012, upon any proposed issuance by us of our Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination thereof as defined in the subscription agreement) for cash consideration (the “Subsequent Financing”), a Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all or some of the Debenture then held by such Purchaser for any securities issued in a Subsequent Financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis, provided, however, this right shall not apply with respect to (i) an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Debenture) or (ii) an underwritten public offering of our common stock.

Each Purchaser has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to exercise the Warrant and convert the Debenture such that the number of shares of our common stock held by the Purchaser and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The full principal amount of the Debenture is due upon a default under the terms of the Debenture. The Debenture is a general unsecured debt obligation of ours arising other than in the ordinary course of business which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.

A FINRA registered broker-dealer was engaged as placement agent in connection with the transaction. We paid the placement agent a cash fee in the amount of $50,000 (representing an 8% sales commission and a 2% unaccountable expense allowance) and issued the placement agent or its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate of 815,774 shares of common stock at $0.11 per share. The warrants issued to the placement agent may be exercised on a cashless basis. In the event the placement agent exercises the warrants on a cashless basis, we will not receive any proceeds.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, all of the outstanding principal balances on these notes and all related accrued interest of $55,432 were converted into common stock.

LAW FIRM NOTE

On March 22, 2012, we entered into a Promissory Note with our corporate law firm for the amount of $75,000, which represented the majority of the amount we owed to that firm. The Promissory Note has a maturity date of December 31, 2012 and bears interest at five percent per annum. The note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at a 10% discount to the market price of the common stock on the date prior to conversion with a floor price on such conversions of $0.08 per share. This ability of the holder to convert became exercisable upon the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of our common stock to a number greater than 250,000,000. As that increase in the authorized number of shares of our common stock was approved by our stockholders at a Special Stockholders Meeting on June 4, 2012, this note was reclassified to a convertible note as of June 30, 2012 (see Note 4). Subsequent to March 31, 2013, the parties have agreed to extend the Maturity Date of the Note to October 1, 2013.

At March 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance on this note was $75,000 and the interest payable on this note totaled $3,854.
