Note Offering

 

 On June 20, 2013 the Company commenced a private offering of: (i) convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.3 million; and (ii) and five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share (the “Warrants”) to certain accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, “Investors”) (the “Offering”). Through September 30, 2013, the Company accepted subscription agreements from Investors resulting in the issuance of Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,615,000 (“Subscription Agreements”), which amount included $600,000 issued as consideration for the exchange of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company to certain Investors. As of November 14, 2013, the Company has accepted additional subscription agreements for $511,000, bringing the total raised under the Offering, to date to $3,126,000.

 

 Each Note currently accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and matures on November 29, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, under the terms of the Notes, the Company may elect to extend the Maturity Date to February 28, 2014 and begin accruing interest at a rate of 14% as of the date of such extension (the “First Extension Option”), and again to May 31, 2014 and begin accruing interest at a rate of 15% per annum as of the date of such extension (the “Second Extension Option”). Each Note is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, divided by $2.00. The notes contain "anti-dilution" protection, such that if the Company conducts a qualifying equity transaction, the conversion price of the notes will be the lower of $2.00 or 90% of the price of the qualifying equity transaction. Under ASC 815, management determined that the embedded conversion feature is a derivative liability and recorded a debt discount of $259,285 based on the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. Such amount was determined by a third-party valuation firm using a Monte Carlo simulation and is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. Each Note is also accompanied by Warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes divided by the lower of $1.10 or the price of a qualifying equity transaction. Under ASC 815, management determined that the warrant’s price-protection feature is also a derivative liability and recorded a debt discount of $903,955 based on the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note.
