Convertible Note Payable [Abstract]

Convertible Note Payable

6. Convertible Note Payable

In June 2008, the Company issued a Convertible Debenture to Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (the "holder") in the principal amount of $1,000,000, dated June 6, 2008, pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the purpose of accessing necessary funding to continue operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture, the related Securities Purchase Agreement, Secured Promissory Note and Stock Pledge Agreement, each executed in connection therewith, the Company has issued its $1,000,000 Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture") for the payment by Golden Gate of $100,000 in cash and the execution and delivery by Golden Gate of a $900,000 Secured Promissory Note of even date (the "Note"), bearing interest at 8% per annum. For financial statement purposes, these items have been netted, as the Company has the legal right of offset.

The Debenture bears interest at 7.75% per annum, payable monthly, maturing June 30, 2012, and was secured by a Continuing Personal Guaranty, whereby the Company's Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder guaranteed the Company's obligations for a period of eight months. Originally, the Debenture Holder was entitled to convert into common stock of the company at the conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.50, or (ii) 80% of the average of the 3 lowest Volume Weighted Average Prices during the 20 Trading Days prior to Holder's election to convert, as such terms are defined in the Debenture. The Holder can only convert that amount of the Debenture that has actually been paid for by either cash at closing or principal pre-payments made on the Promissory Note.

During 2011 and since inception, the Company has drawn $50,000 and $795,000 in proceeds related to the note, respectively. During 2011 and since inception, the Holder has converted $50,000 and $747,000 in convertible notes into 333,334 and 7,340,152 common shares, respectively.

In December 2009, the convertible debenture agreement was amended. As a result of the amendment, effective January 15, 2010, the conversion price has a $0.15 fixed floor price that limits the number of common shares upon conversion to an amount that is substantially below the Company's authorized common shares that can be issued. Additionally, the penalty associated with the default provision to maintain timely filings of all reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission was removed. Lastly, the default provision related to the interest rate adjustment indexed to changes in the Company's common stock was removed. In the event of certain defaults, the Company would pay a default fixed interest rate of 9.75% per annum.

Based on the amended agreement, the Company determined that all potential derivative features associated with the original debenture agreement were removed.
