The Convertible Promissory Notes bear an interest at the rate of 9%, have a six month maturity date, and a voluntary conversion into an upcoming financing in the event the Company closes the financing and receives gross proceeds totaling at least $200,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company closed on a private offering and issued and six 9% Convertible Promissory Notes with principal amounts of $300,000, $262,500, $275,000, $75,000, 50,000, and $150,0000 (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase 400,002, 350,002, 366,667, 66,667, 100,001, and 200,001 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”), respectively. The Company also agreed to provide piggy-back registration rights to the holders of the Units. The Notes have a term of twelve (12) months, pay interest semi-annually at 9% per annum and can be voluntarily converted by the holder into shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events as described in the Notes. In addition, if the Company issues or sells common stock at a price below the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price of the Notes shall be adjusted downward to such price but in no event shall the conversion price be reduced to a price less than $0.50 per share. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share and have a term of four years. The holders of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis for as long as the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants are not registered on an effective registration statement. The relative fair value ascribed to the 1,483,340 warrants issued was approximately $337,118 and was recorded to additional paid-in capital. The embedded conversion feature was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability at approximately $393,000 on the day of issuance.  The remaining proceeds were allocated based on the relative fair value of the debt and the warrant, and accordingly, approximately $730,520 of debt discount was recorded and was amortized over the initial term of the debt using the effective interest method. These notes were modified in second quarter 2016 and again in fourth quarter 2016. See below for further discussion.

 

During the second quarter 2016, the Company amended four of the outstanding 9% Convertible Promissory Notes with principal amounts of $275,000, $75,000, $50,000, and $150,000 as follows: the maturity dates were extended to November 5, 2016, September 2, 2016, November 22, 2016, and September 26, 2016, respectively; the conversion price was lowered to $0.15 per share, the provision limiting the conversion price adjustment to that of the Series C Preferred Stock was removed, and an option to be repaid prior to the maturity date in the event the Company raises capital in excess of three million dollars was added. The Company also amended the warrant issued in conjunction with the Convertible Promissory Note reducing the exercise price to $0.15 and issued new warrants to purchase 666,669 shares of the Company's common stock with a $0.15 exercise price and a three year expiration. According to FASB ASC 470-50, the modification is accounted for as a debt extinguishment, whereby the new debt instrument is initially recorded at fair value, and that amount is used to determine the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized and the effective rate of the new instrument. We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $415,689 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

During the fourth quarter 2016, the Company amended six of the outstanding 9% Convertible Promissory Notes with principal amounts of $300,000, $262,500, $275,000, $75,000, $50,000, and $150,000 as follows: the maturity dates were extended to May 5, 2017; the interest rate for the extension period was increased to 15%; the conversion price was changed to the per share price at the time of the next financing of $2,000,000 or greater. According to FASB ASC 470-50, the modification is accounted for as a debt extinguishment, whereby the new debt instrument is initially recorded at fair value, and that amount is used to determine the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized and the effective rate of the new instrument. We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $58,032 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The relative fair value ascribed to the 500,000 warrants issued was approximately $49,000 and was recorded to additional paid-in capital. This amount will be amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. As part of the closing of the Tender Offer, $200,000 of these notes converted into 1,333,334 shares of common stock and the investor received common stock and 1,333,333 warrants with a three year term at an exercise price of $0.15.
