NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE, AT FAIR VALUE

 

Convertible Note Payable Dated November 4, 2009 at Fair Value

 

On November 4, 2009, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation.  The convertible note payable, with a face value of $40,000, bears interest at 8.0% per annum and was due on May 4, 2010.  The convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at the lesser of (1) the Variable Conversion Price or (2) a Fixed Conversion Price of $0.25.  The Variable Conversion Price is defined as 42% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the ten trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date the convertible note payable is sent by the holder to the Company.  The conversion feature is subject to full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection if the Company sells shares or share-indexed financing instruments at less than the conversion price.  The holder has the option to redeem the convertible note payable for cash in the event of defaults or certain other contingent events (the “Default Put”).

 

In the evaluation of the financing arrangement, the Company concluded that the conversion feature did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification.  Since equity classification is not available for the conversion feature, it requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The Company also concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on debt instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events that are not associated with the convertible note payable.

 

Rather than accounting for the derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , SFAS No. 155,   Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,   both superseded by ASC 815, permits both holders and issuers of certain hybrid financial instruments, at inception, to irrevocably elect to measure the instrument in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Pursuant to paragraph 5 of ASC 815-15-25, the fair value election may be made on an instrument-by- instrument basis at the time the hybrid financial instrument is acquired, issued or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a re-measurement, but it is required to be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy for automatic election. However, the fair value election is not available for a hybrid financial instrument, unless the instrument contains an embedded derivative that ASC 815-15-25-1 would require to be bifurcated.  The Company   elected to account for the hybrid contract under the guidance of ASC 815-15-25-4.

 

In connection with the issuance of the convertible note payable on November 4, 2009, the Company recorded a day-one derivative loss related to the recognition of (i) the hybrid note and (ii) the derivative instrument arising from the fair value measurement due to the fair value of the hybrid note and embedded derivative exceeding the proceeds that the Company received from the arrangement.  Therefore, the Company was required to record a loss on the derivative financial instrument.  In addition, the fair value will change in future periods, based upon changes in the Company’s common stock price and changes in other assumptions and market indicators used in the valuation techniques.  These future changes will be currently recognized in interest expense or interest income on the Company’s statement of operations.

 

The holder of this convertible note has substantial rights and protections regarding dilution if certain events, including a default were to occur. There are a number of events that could trigger a default, including but not limited to failure to pay principal or interest, failure to issue shares under the conversion feature, breach of covenants, breach of representations and warranties, appointment of a receiver or trustee, judgments, bankruptcy, delisting of common stock, failure to comply with the exchange act, liquidation, cessation of operations, failure to maintain assets, material financial statement restatement, reverse split of borrowers stock, etc. In the event of these events the lender may be entitled to receive significant amounts of additional stock above the amounts for conversion.

 

Furthermore, there are additional events that could cause the lender to be due additional shares of common stock above and beyond the   shares due from a conversion. Some of these events include, but are not limited to a merger or consolidation of the Company, dividend distribution or spin off, dilutive issuances of the Company’s stock, etc. If the lender receives additional shares of the Company’s commons stock due to any of the foregoing events or for other reasons, then this may have an extremely dilutive effect on the shareholders of the Company. Such dilution would likely result in a significant drop in the per share price of the Company’s common stock. The potential dilutive nature of this note presents a very high degree of risk to the Company and its shareholders.

 

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the convertible note payable, at fair value, had been fully settled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE, AT FAIR VALUE  

 

Convertible Note Payable Dated April 1, 2010 at Fair Value

 

On April 1, 2010, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation.  The convertible note payable, with a face value of $50,000, bears interest at 8.0% per annum and was due on January 7, 2011.  The convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at the Variable Conversion Price.  The Variable Conversion Price is defined as 58% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the ten trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date the convertible note payable is sent by the holder to the Company.  The conversion feature is subject to full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection if the Company sells shares or share-indexed financing instruments at less than the conversion price.  The holder has the option to redeem the convertible note payable for cash in the event of defaults or certain other contingent events (the “Default Put”).

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the convertible note payable, at fair value, was recorded at $0 and $11,112, respectively.
