NOTE 18 – 7% CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On October 11, 2013, the Company issued 7% Convertible Notes (the “7% Notes”) to four (4) Holders in the aggregate amount of $850,000. Per the terms of the 7% Note, the original principal balance is $850,000 and is not secured by any collateral or any assets pledged to the Holder. The maturity date is September 30, 2015, and the annual rate of interest is seven percent (7%), which increases to twenty-four percent (24%) per annum, or the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law, in the event of default.  Subject to certain limitations, the Holder can, at its sole discretion, convert the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price for the period of time from the date of this 7% Note through and including September 30, 2014 is the lesser of (a) $0.025 per share and (b) seventy percent (70%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily volume weighted average closing prices occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this 7% Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this 7% Note. The conversion price is $0.025 per share for the period of October 1, 2014 through the maturity date of September 30, 2015, subject to adjustment as provided in this 7% Note. At any time after the 12-month period immediately following the date of this 7% Note, the Company has the option to pre-pay the entire outstanding principal amount of this 7% Note by paying to the Holder an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the principal and interest then outstanding. The Company’s obligations under this 7% Note will accelerate upon a bankruptcy event with respect to the Company or any subsidiary, any default in the Company’s payment obligations under this 7% Note, the Company’s failure to issue shares of its common stock in connection with a conversion of this 7% Note, the Company’s or any subsidiary’s breach of any provision of any agreement providing for indebtedness of the Company or such subsidiary in an amount exceeding $100,000, the common stock of the Company being suspended or delisted from trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “Primary Market”) market and the OTCQB, the Company losing its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Company becoming late or delinquent in its filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon any such acceleration of this 7% Note, the Company shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to the greater of (i) one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the outstanding principal of this 7% Note (plus all accrued but unpaid interest) and (ii) the product of (a) the highest closing price for the Company’s common stock for the five (5) days on which the Primary Market is open for business immediately preceding such acceleration and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal of this 7% Note, and the denominator of which is the applicable conversion price as of the date of determination.

 

Due to the “reset” clause in these 7% Notes relating to the conversion price, the Company has determined that the conversion feature is considered a beneficial conversion feature and thereby creates a derivative liability (see “NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY”) for the Company. On the date of issuance of the $850,000 of 7% convertible notes, the Company calculated the value of the derivative liability using the weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which approximates the Monte Carlo and other binomial valuation techniques, with the following assumptions; (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 25.09%; (iii) risk free rate of 0.23%, (iv) expected term of 1 year, (v) market value share price of $0.063, and (vi) per share conversion price of $0.025. Based upon this model, the Company determined an initial derivative liability value of $1,292,000, which it recorded as a derivative liability as of the date of issuance while also recording a $442,000 non-cash interest expense and an $850,000 debt discount on its balance sheet in relation to the bifurcation of the embedded conversion options  of these notes.

 

On December 20, 2013, the Company issued an additional $1,000,000 of 7% convertible notes to two Holders. As previously stated, due to the “reset” clause in these 7% Notes relating to the conversion price, the Company has determined that the conversion feature is considered a beneficial conversion feature and thereby creates a derivative liability (see “NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY”) for the Company. On the date of issuance of the $1,000,000 of 7% convertible notes, the Company calculated the value of the derivative liability using the weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which approximates the Monte Carlo and other binomial valuation techniques, with the following assumptions; (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 45.04%; (iii) risk free rate of 0.02%, (iv) expected term of 1 year, (v) market value share price of $0.14, and (vi) per share conversion price of $0.025. Based upon this model, the Company determined an initial derivative liability value of $4,600,000, which it recorded as a derivative liability as of the date of issuance while also recording a $3,600,000 non-cash interest expense and an $1,000,000 debt discount on its balance sheet in relation to the bifurcation of the embedded conversion options  of these notes.

 

At December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance on these 7% convertible notes was $1,850,000, the accrued and unpaid interest totaled $15,668, and the related debt discount totaled $1,698,292, for a net value of $167,376.

 

On March 7, 2014, one Holder of these 7% convertible notes converted $50,000 of principal into 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price of $0.025. Upon the conversion of the $50,000, the Company recorded $39,583 of non-cash interest expense to fully amortize the remaining portion of the debt discount related to the $50,000 of principal.

 

On March 18, 2014, three (3) Holders of these 7% convertible notes converted $550,000 of principal and $18,192 of accrued and unpaid interest into 22,727,668 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price of $0.025. Upon the conversion of the $550,000, the Company recorded $435,412 of non-cash interest expense to fully amortize the remaining portion of the debt discount related to the $550,000 of principal.

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded interest expense of $30,330 in relation to these 7% Notes and $692,608 of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount associated with these 7% convertible notes. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on these 7% convertible notes was $1,250,000, accrued and unpaid interest was $27,807, and unamortized debt discount was $1,005,685, which results in a net amount of $272,125.

 

On April 10, 2014, as a result of the suspension in the trading of the Company’s securities, the Company went into default on these 7% convertible notes (see “NOTE 23 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS”). As a result, the Company is now accruing interest on these notes at the applicable “default” rate of interest as stipulated in the note agreements. Furthermore, as a result of being in default on these notes, the Holders can, at their sole discretion, call these notes. Although no such action has been taken by the Holders at the time of this filing, the Company has reclassified these notes as a current liability rather than long-term debt.
