CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

4. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

On various dates the Company entered into unsecured convertible Notes (the “Convertible Promissory Notes” or “Notes”), that mature between six and nine months from the date of issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. The Notes mature on various dates through December 26, 2015. The Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $0.07 to $0.14 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade day following issuance of the Notes.  The Notes include customary default provisions related to payment of principal and interest and bankruptcy or creditor assignment.  In the event of default, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at the mandatory default amount. The mandatory default amount is 150% of the Note amount and such mandatory default amount shall bear interest at 10% per annum.  In addition, for as long as the Notes or other convertible notes in effect between the purchaser and the Company are outstanding, if the Company issues any security with terms more favorable than the terms of the Notes or such other convertible notes or a term was not similarly provided to the purchaser of the Notes or such other convertible notes, then such more favorable or additional term shall, at the purchaser’s option, become part of the Notes and such other convertible notes. The conversion feature of the Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the Notes. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance was $2,885,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued an additional $525,000 of these Notes, and converted $365,000 in aggregate principal, plus accrued interest of $35,607 into 10,195,172 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2015, the Notes had an aggregate remaining balance of $3,045,000. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $224,974 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

  

As of March 31, 2015, the remaining balance of the OID Notes was $273,125. The Notes are unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “OID Notes”), that includes an original issue discount and one time interest, which has been fully amortized. The OID Notes were extended and matured on various dates through September 19, 2014. On each maturity date, each note was extended one year from its maturity date through September 19, 2015. The OID Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price initially of $0.4375. In addition, so long as the OID Notes or other convertible note transactions currently in effect between the Company and the holders are outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the holders in these OID Notes, then such additional or more favorable term shall at the OID Notes holders’ option become a part of any or all of the outstanding OID Notes with the holders. On March 9, 2015, a holder of a note with a more favorable term converted a note at a price of $0.035, which became part of this note due to the reset provision mentioned above. The conversion feature of the notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the notes.

 

On February 27, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company entered into unsecured convertible Notes (the “Convertible Promissory Notes” or “Notes”), for an aggregate amount of $420,000. The notes mature nine months from the date of issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. The Notes mature on November 24, 2015 and December 26, 2015. The Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $0.07 to $0.08 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade day following issuance of the Notes.  The Notes include customary default provisions related to payment of principal and interest and bankruptcy or creditor assignment.  In the event of default, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at the mandatory default amount. The mandatory default amount is 150% of the Note amount and such mandatory default amount shall bear interest at 10% per annum.  In addition, for as long as the Notes or other convertible notes in effect between the purchaser and the Company are outstanding, if the Company issues any security with terms more favorable than the terms of the Notes or such other convertible notes or a term was not similarly provided to the purchaser of the Notes or such other convertible notes, then such more favorable or additional term shall, at the purchaser’s option, become part of the Notes and such other convertible notes. The conversion feature of the Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the Notes. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $11,347 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations.

 

On September 29, 2014, the Company issued a convertible note in exchange for an accounts payable in the amount of $383,351, which could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock after March 29, 2015. The note was accounted for under ASC 470, whereby, a beneficial conversion feature was recorded at time of issuance. The note has a zero stated interest rate, and the conversion price shall be equal to 75% of the average three lowest last sale prices traded during the 25 trading days immediately prior to conversion. The note did not meet the criteria of a derivative, and was accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature, which will be amortized over the life of the note and recognized as interest expense in the financial statements. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $134,752 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
