Debt due to Laurus

 

As of February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company owed a third party lender, LV Administrative Services, Ltd., as agent for Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. and various affiliates thereof (“Laurus”), $2,146,023 and $2,108,498, respectively.  Pursuant to two assignment agreements, in which the Company and Laurus agreed to assign the debt to a third party, the interest rate on the debt was changed to zero percent from January 31, 2012 to April 12, 2013. Beginning on April 12, 2013, the interest rate on the Laurus debt reverted to the rate charged in the original note agreements, which ranges from 5.25% to 20% per annum. The Company has not made payments of principal or interest when due, and is not in compliance with its agreements with Laurus. Laurus has not issued a default notice and has signed an agreement, on two separate occasions, to sell all of its debt at a discount to a third party, however the third parties have not fulfilled all of their terms of the agreements and $2,146,023 and $2,108,498 of debt remains due to Laurus at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.

 

During the three months ended February 2013, the Company recorded a troubled debt restructuring gain of $2,714,461. The Company recorded this troubled debt restructuring gain as a result of debt forgiveness by Laurus in exchange for repayments of reduced amounts from other lenders.

 

Convertible debt due to Factor Fund

 

In March 2013, 112359 Factor Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), was assigned the $6,368,078 of outstanding debt owed to Laurus, which the Fund could satisfy in full by making certain payments to Laurus. Factor Fund has not met the contractual terms of the assignment agreement, therefore, at November 30, 2013, the Company is still obligated to Laurus as noted above.

 

During February 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Fund pursuant to which the Company issued to the Fund (i) an amended convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (“Amended Note 1”) and (ii) a second amended convertible debenture in the principal balance of $1,000,000 (“Amended Note 2” and together with Amended Note 1, the “Amended Notes”).  The Amended Notes were sold to the Fund by the Company in exchange for the Fund’s assumption and payment of the Laurus assignment agreement (which required the Fund to make payments totaling $350,000, of which $250,000 was paid, to Laurus), payment to the Company of $150,000, and the agreement to purchase from another lender and cancel an existing convertible debenture in the amount of approximately $35,000.

 

Absent earlier redemption the Amended Notes mature on December 31, 2014.  Interest accrues on the unpaid principal and interest on the notes at a rate per annum equal to 6% for Amended Note 1 and 2% for Amended Note 2.

 

Principal and interest payments on Amended Note 1 can be made at any time by the Company, with a 30% prepayment premium, or the Fund can elect at any time to convert any portion of Amended Note 1 into shares of common stock of the Company at 100% of the average of the five lowest days’ volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.  During the three-month periods ending February 28, 2014 and 2013, the Fund converted $277,500 and $78,690 of principal into 203,000,000 and 39,345,576 shares of common stock of the Company, respectively.

 

The conversion price of Amended Note 1 is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 - 40. The fair value of the note was recognized as a derivative instrument at the issuance date and was measured at fair value at each reporting period.

 

Amended Note 2 converts into shares of common stock of the Company in an amount equal to the lesser of the outstanding balance of Amended Note 2 divided by $0.01. Any principal or interest amount can be paid in cash.

 

During the year ended November 30, 2013, the Fund loaned the Company amounts of $50,000, $35,000 and $12,000 (the “Bridge Notes”). In June 2013, the Fund refinanced the Bridge Notes with additional funding into another note of $665,000 (the “New Note”). The additional funding under the New Note provided cash to purchase two outstanding convertible debentures for an aggregate price of $99,360; cash for operations of $60,000; and $40,000 in cash each month for the months of July 2013 through December 2013. The Company incurred $68,640 in finder fees and legal fees in connection with the New Note, and a $100,000 original issuance discount. The New Note bears interest at 6% per annum and is due December 31, 2014. The Fund can elect at any time to convert any portion of the New Note into shares of common stock of the Company at 60% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. The Company received an aggregate of $300,000 in cash in the months of June through December 2013 under the New Note.

 

The conversion price of the $665,000 of variable conversion price note is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 - 40. The fair value of the note was recognized as a derivative instrument at the issuance date and is measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature was $67,123 at the issuance date. Debt discount was recorded up to the $40,000 face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. The fair value of the conversion feature in excess of the principal amount allocated to the notes was $27,123 and was recognized immediately as additional interest expense.

 

In conjunction with the New Note, the Company agreed to implement a salary deferral plan to reduce the cash expenditures for personnel, to limit its cash expenditures to certain pre-approved items, and to accrue an additional fee to the Fund of $150,000, which was recorded as interest expense and has been added to the principal balance of Amended Note 1.   The Fund agreed to limit its sales of the Company’s common stock, to not engage in any short transactions involving the Company’s common stock, and to not require the Company to increase its authorized shares of common stock for a certain time period, even though the Financing documents require the Company to reserve authorized shares for issuance to the Fund, if the Fund desires to convert existing debt into shares of common stock.

 

The Amended Notes and New Note are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of security agreements executed by the Company and its subsidiaries in favor of the Fund.  In addition, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief information officer pledged their combined voting control of the Company pursuant to a stock pledge agreement executed by the two officers in favor of the Fund, to further secure the Company’s obligations under the Amended Notes.  If an event of default occurs under the security agreement, the stock pledge agreement, the Amended Notes or the New Note, the secured parties have the right to accelerate payments under such promissory notes and, in addition to any other remedies available to them, to foreclose upon the assets securing such promissory notes.

 

In connection with the financings, the Company has agreed, for as long as 25% of the principal amount of the financings are outstanding, to certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, that the Company will not declare or pay any dividends, issue any preferred stock that is subject to mandatory redemption prior to the one year anniversary of the maturity date as defined in the agreement, redeem any of its preferred stock or other equity interests, dissolve, liquidate or merge with any other party unless, in the case of a merger, the Company is the surviving entity, materially alter or change the scope of the Company’s business incur any indebtedness except as defined in the agreement, or assume, guarantee, endorse or otherwise become directly or contingently liable in connection with any other party’s obligations.  To secure the payment of all obligations to the lender, the Company entered into a Master Security Agreement that assigns and grants to the lender a continuing security interest and first lien on all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

As of February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company owed the Fund $1,945,190 and $2,182,690, respectively.
