8. ACCRUED INTEREST

Accrued interest on the Company’s convertible notes payable is convertible at the option of the note holders into the Company’s common stock at price ranging from of $0.005 to $0.010 per share.  There is a beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible accrued interest, which can be exercised at any time by the note holders. The Company is amortizing this beneficial conversion feature over the life of the related notes payable.  Certain of the notes payable have exceeded their stated terms, and are still outstanding; in those instances, the Company expenses the value of the beneficial conversion feature on the accrued interest immediately.
