In addition, the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debts by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.

The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a total debt discount equal to $65,529. The discount is amortized from the dates of issuance until the stated redemption date of the debts, as noted above.

The convertible notes, totaling $87,500 that created the beneficial conversion feature carry default provisions that place a "maximum share amount" on the note holders. The maximum share amount that can be owned as a result of the conversions to common stock by the note holders is 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Epazz.
 
According to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the number of shares that would be received upon conversion was 3,788,490 shares at December 31, 2011.

During the years ended December 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded debt amortization expense in the amount of $50,551 and $-0-, respectively, attributed to the aforementioned debt discount.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued a total of 451,977 shares pursuant to debt conversion in settlement of $8,000 of outstanding principal. The principal was converted in accordance with the conversion terms, therefore no gain or loss has been recognized.

On May 27, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to which we sold to Asher an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $50,000. The First Asher Note had a maturity date of February 28, 2012, and is convertible into our common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 59% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 41%). "Market Price" means the average of the lowest five (5) Trading Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. "Fixed Conversion Price" shall mean $0.00009. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the First Asher Note will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuance of the First Asher Note was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The purchaser was an accredited and sophisticated investor, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

The Company evaluated the First Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.02603 below the market price on May 27, 2011 of $0.056 provided a value of $43,421 of which $35,652 was amortized during 2011.

On June 28, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to which we sold to Asher an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $37,500. The Second Asher Note had a maturity date of March 30, 2012, and is convertible into our common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 59% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 41%). "Market Price" means the average of the lowest five (5) Trading Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. "Fixed Conversion Price" shall mean $0.00009. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Second Asher Note will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuance of the Second Asher Note was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The purchaser was an accredited and sophisticated investor, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

The Company evaluated the Second Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.01298 below the market price on June 28, 2011 of $0.035 provided a value of $22,108 of which $14,899 was amortized during 2011.

The Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $3,918 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively related to convertible debts.
