Convertible Debentures	10. Convertible Debentures On August 1, 2008, we executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with twenty-four institutional and private investors with respect to the private placement of 8% senior convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are secured by substantially all of our previously unencumbered assets pursuant to a Security Agreement and are guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Geltech and LPOI pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee. The sale of the Debentures generated gross proceeds of approximately $2.9 million and net proceeds of $2.7 million. We used the funds to provide working capital for our operations. Among the investors were Steven Brueck, J. James Gaynor, Louis Leeburg, Robert Ripp, Gary Silverman and James Magos, all of whom were directors or officers of LightPath as of August 1, 2008. Mr. Magos resigned effective September 2, 2008. Interest of $39,053 was due on October 1, 2008 and was prepaid by the Company on August 1, 2008 by issuing 27,893 shares of Class A common stock in payment of such interest based upon the closing price of $1.40 per share (the “October Interest Shares”). The interest accruing on the Debentures from October 1, 2008 to August 1, 2011 was prepaid by issuing Class A common stock in December 2008. Investors also received warrants to purchase up to 950,974 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years beginning on August 1, 2008 with 65% of the Warrants, exercisable for 618,133 shares, priced at $1.68 per share and the remaining 35% of the Warrants, exercisable for 332,841 shares, priced at $1.89 per share. Investors who participated in our July 2007 offering were offered an incentive to invest in the debenture offering. Four investors from the July 2007 offering participated in the debenture offering and as a result we reduced the exercise price of the warrants they received in the July 2007 offering from $5.50 per share to $2.61 per share. The reduced exercise price lowered potential proceeds on the exercise of the warrants from the July 2007 offering by $119,212 to $107,663. Additionally, such investors were issued an aggregate of 73,228 shares of common stock (the “Incentive Shares”), valued at $75,131. We paid a commission to the exclusive placement agent for the offering, First Montauk Securities Corp. (“First Montauk”), in an amount equal to $216,570 plus costs and expenses. We also issued to First Montauk and its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate of 190,195 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.68 per share. The warrants were valued at $194,057 using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model and were recorded as debt costs. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years beginning on August 1, 2008. In addition, the exercise price of 50% of the warrants previously issued to First Montauk and its designees at the closing of the July 2007 offering was reduced from $5.50 to $2.61 per share. This reduced warrant exercise price lowered potential proceeds on the exercise of the warrants issued to First Montauk from the July 2007 offering by $115,600 to $104,400. The Warrants and the Incentive Shares issued to the debenture holders were valued at issuance at $790,830 and recorded as a discount on the debt. The Incentive Shares were valued using the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of issuance. The Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model using assumptions similar to those used to value the Company’s stock options and RSUs. In addition, a beneficial conversion feature associated with the Debentures was valued at the date of issuance at $600,635 and was recorded as a discount on the debt. The total debt discount of $1,391,465 was amortized using the effective interest method over the original 36-month term of the Debentures and was subsequently adjusted for the extension of the maturity date of the Debentures as discussed below. We also incurred debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of the Debentures of $554,308 which were amortized over the original 36-month term using the effective interest method, adjusted for accelerated conversions of the Debentures and the extension of the maturity date of the Debentures as discussed below. The costs were for broker commissions, legal and accounting fees, filing fees and $194,057 representing the fair value of the 190,195 warrants shares issued to First Montauk. We used the Black-Scholes-Merton model to determine fair value of the warrants issued to First Montauk. For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $3,298 and $118,977, respectively of the debt issuance costs were amortized through interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. On December 31, 2008, the Debentures were amended to allow debenture holders to convert 25% of their Debentures into shares of Class A common stock. As a result, $732,250 of the Debentures were converted into 475,496 shares of Class A common stock. As an inducement to partially convert the Debentures, we issued additional warrants (valued at $215,975 using the Black-Scholes-Merton method and recorded as interest expense) and prepaid the interest of $453,995 on the unconverted portion of the Debentures through the original maturity date of August 1, 2011, which resulted in the issuance of 589,614 shares of Class A common stock. The interest payment of $58,580 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 resulted in the issuance of 76,078 shares of Class A common stock. As a result of the Debenture conversion, $304,382 of debt discount was written off to interest expense. During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s debt obligations were reduced by $832,500 through the conversions of certain of the Debentures into shares of Class A common stock. Costs associated with the conversion of these Debentures were $6,749, which reduced the proceeds recognized. These transactions increased interest expense by $101,300 for the year ending June 30, 2011, reflecting debt issue costs, prepaid interest and discount on the debt that were written off as a result of the debt conversions of certain of the Debentures into shares of Class A common stock. On March 30, 2011, debenture holders holding approximately 98.71% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures consented to an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Debentures from August 1, 2011 to August 1, 2013, at which time the Debentures that have not been converted into shares of Class A common stock will be due and payable in full. The one debenture holder electing not to participate in the extension was paid all amounts due under the Debenture held by such holder, or $14,250, in April 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, interest was prepaid in Class A common stock on August 1, 2011 for the period from August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012 and on August 1, 2012 for the period from August 1, 2012 through maturity. The extension of the maturity date of the Debentures was determined to be substantial and therefore triggered “debt extinguishment” accounting under ASC 470-50-40. The Debentures are hybrid financial instruments that blend characteristics of both debt and equity securities. The Debentures embody settlement alternatives to the holder providing for either redemption of principal and interest in cash (forward component) or conversion into Class A common stock (embedded conversion feature). As a result of the debt extinguishment accounting, $63,692 of the unamortized debt discount and $25,372 of unamortized debt issuance costs were written off to loss on extinguishment of debt. The calculated fair value of the amended Debentures as of March 30, 2011, the time of the extension, was $1,706,919, and included $924,844 for the forward component and $782,075 for the embedded conversion feature. The forward component was valued using the present value of discounted cash flows arising from the contractual principal and interest payment terms and the embedded conversion feature was valued using a Monte Carlo simulations method. The fair value of the amended Debentures exceeded the carrying value of the Debentures just prior to the amendment date by $619,419 which represents a premium. Approximately 93% of the Debentures are held by related parties and as such $576,700 of the premium was considered a capital contribution and was not included in the loss on extinguishment and therefore had no impact on additional paid in capital. The remaining $42,719 of the premium was associated with Debentures to non-related parties and thus was recorded to loss on extinguishment of debt and additional paid in capital. For the year ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $0 and $316,693, respectively, of the amortized debt discount was amortized through interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The unamortized debt discount was $0 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011. Total principal outstanding on the Debentures and the principal amount outstanding specifically to directors, officers and stockholders owning at least 10% of the Company’s securities under the Debentures was $1,087,500 and $1,012,500, respectively at September 30, 2012 and at June 30, 2012. We can force the debenture holders to convert the Debentures into shares of our Class A common stock if our stock price exceeds $5.00 per share. A forced conversion of the Debentures would include a 10% premium on the face amount. No payment of dividends may be made while the Debentures are outstanding.
