Subordinated Debt

During January 2010, the Company authorized a $750,000 subordinated debt offering (“Subordinated Offering”), which consisted of the issuance of notes paying a 16% coupon with a 1% origination fee at the time of closing. The maturity date of the notes was originally January 31, 2013, however, the subordinated debt holders agreed to an extended maturity date of December 31, 2013. In October 2013, the Company entered into a senior unsecured convertible promissory note (discussed in Note 10) which required the use of those financing proceeds to pay down the subordinated debt. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the remaining balance was $0.

As part of the Subordinated Offering, the Company granted to investors common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The 200,000 shares of common stock contemplated to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants are based on an anticipated cumulative debt raise of $750,000. The investors are granted the Warrants pro rata based on their percentage of investment relative to the $750,000 aggregate principal amount of notes contemplated to be issued in the Subordinated Offering. The Warrants shall have a term of seven years, exercisable from January 31, 2015 to January 31, 2017. The Company will have a call option any time prior to maturity, so long as the principal and interest on the notes are fully paid, to purchase the Warrants for an aggregate of $150,000. After the date of maturity until the date the Warrants are exercisable, the Company will have a call option to purchase the Warrants for $200,000. The call option purchase price assumed a cumulative debt raise of $750,000.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. ASC 815 requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock to be designated as an equity instrument, assets or liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815, a contract designated as an asset or liability must be initially recorded and carried at fair value until the contract meets the requirements for classification as equity, until the contract is exercised or until the contract expires. Accordingly, the Company determined that the warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities and has recorded the initial value as a debt discount which will be amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the debt discount was $0 (fully amortized). Subsequent changes to the marked-to-market value of the derivative liability will be recorded in earnings as derivative gains and losses. As of December 31, 2015, there were 105,333 warrants outstanding with a derivative liability of $2,434. As of December 31, 2014, there were 112,000 warrants outstanding with a derivative liability of $2,434. The Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model, which resulted in the fair value of the warrants at $0.02 per share using the following assumptions:

	December 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
Risk-free rate		.65	%		.66	%
Expected volatility		543.97	%		620.37	%
Expected remaining life (in years)		1.00			2.00
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%
