SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

NOTE 5 - SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In February 2006, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $800,000 principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible promissory notes due twelve months from the date of issue to certain Company shareholders and other accredited investors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company completed this private placement by selling all notes payable totaling $800,000. The notes are secured by a first priority lien on all of the tangible and intangible personal property of the Company. In May 2007, the due date of these notes was extended to August 2008 and the interest rate increased to 12% per annum during the extension period.  In June 2011, the interest rate on all of the notes was reset to 10% and $596,500 of the notes and accrued interest was extended until September 15, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2012 the remaining $178,749 of unextended notes and the associated accrued interest were extended to September 30, 2015. In June 2013, $225,000 of these notes payable plus accrued interest of $181,125 were converted into 7.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was valued at $1,628,000. The excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest was recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, $220,000 of senior convertible notes plus accrued interest of $395,000, were converted into 7,900,000 shares of common stock.  Since this transaction was with related parties, the conversion was treated as a capital transaction in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50-40-3.

As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance on these notes was $330,249.  Accrued interest at March 31, 2014 amounted to $310,584.

In addition, if an equity financing with total proceeds of more than $5,000,000 occurs while any notes are outstanding, holders of notes will have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the notes into shares at a discount of 30% of the price per share in the qualified financing. Since the embedded conversion feature is contingent upon the occurrence of the qualified financing, the value of the contingent conversion feature, if beneficial, will be recognized if the triggering event occurs and the contingency is resolved.
