January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture - Former CFO

 

On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer whereby the Company issued and sold a promissory note in the principal face amount of $55,000 and warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of $50,000.

 

The Note is due on July 31, 2015 and accrued a one-time interest charge of 8% on the closing date.  The warrants are exercisable for five years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock.  The warrants contain anti-dilution protection, including protection upon dilutive issuances. The note was repaid on July 31, 2015.

 

The Warrants issued in connection with the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture-CFO are measured at fair value and classified as a liability because these warrants contain anti-dilution protection and therefore,  cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using Probability Weighted Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model, resulting in a value of $49,999 on the date they were issued. The Debt was recorded using the residual method, at $1, net of a debt discount of $54,999. The discount has been included in the balance sheet at June 30, 2015 as a discount to the related debt security and is being accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture using the effective interest method. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term and the risk-free interest rate. The Company will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first. The anti-dilution protection for the warrants survives for the life of the warrants which ends in January 2020. (See Note 9)

 

Line of Credit – Convertible Debenture

 

In January 2013, the Company entered into a line of credit convertible debenture with its President and Chief Executive Officer (the “LOC Convertible Debenture”). Under the terms of its original issuance: (1) the Company could request to borrow up to a maximum principal amount of $250,000 from time to time; (2) amounts borrowed bore an annual interest rate of 8%; (3) the amounts borrowed plus accrued interest were payable in cash at the earlier of January 14, 2014 or when the Company completes a Financing; and (4) the holder had sole discretion to determine whether or not to make an advance upon the Company’s request.

 

During 2013, the LOC Convertible Debenture was further amended to: (1) increase the maximum principal amount borrowable to $1 million; and (2) change the holder’s funding commitment to automatically terminate on the earlier of either (a) when the Company completes a financing with minimum net proceeds of at least $4 million, or (b) July 1, 2016. The securities to be issued upon automatic conversion will be either the Company’s securities that are issued to the investors in the Financing or, if the Financing does not occur by July 1, 2016, shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price of $0.312 per share. The LOC Convertible Debenture continues to bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The other material terms of the LOC Convertible Debenture were not changed.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company borrowed $448,475 pursuant to the LOC Convertible Debenture. The LOC Convertible Debenture contained a BCF of $98,335, which was included in the balance sheet at December 31, 2013 as a discount to the related debt security and accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the loan using the effective interest method.

 

On February 19, 2014, the Company agreed with the holder of the LOC Convertible Debenture to convert the then outstanding principal and interest owed as of such date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. The principal and interest amount owed under the LOC Convertible Debenture immediately prior to conversion was $476,165, which was converted into 1,190,411 shares of the Company’s common stock. The debt discount of $89,452 related to the BCF for the converted portion was recorded as interest expense.

 

On July 22, 2014, the Company agreed with the holder of the LOC Convertible Debenture to increase the principal amount that may be borrowed from up to $1,000,000 to up to $1,500,000. On August 12, 2015, the principal amount that may be borrowed was increased to $2,000,000 and the automatic termination date described above was extended to October 1, 2016.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company borrowed $113 under the LOC Convertible Debenture. The $113 borrowed under the LOC Convertible Debenture along with the accrued interest resulted in a BCF of $4,154. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owed a balance of $424,192 in principal amount under the LOC Convertible Debenture and there was approximately $1.1 million remaining available to use (increased to $1.6 million available on August 12, 2015 - Note 10).
