Debt due to Laurus

As of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the Company owed a third party lender, LV Administrative Services, Ltd., as agent for Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. and various affiliates (“Laurus”), $1,804,700 and $2,266,186, respectively.   All of such debt became due by its terms on September 28, 2010.  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 had signed an agreement, on two separate occasions, to sell all of its debt at a discount to a third party, however the third parties did not fulfill all of the terms of the agreements and $1,804,700 and $2,266,186 of debt remains due to Laurus at February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2014, respectively.

On December 31, 2014, Laurus and the Company again entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to assign the remaining debt to a third party for $100,000. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, $30,000 of the $100,000 was paid, and the Company recognized a $497,279 gain from troubled debt restructuring on the pro-rata reduction of the debt due to Laurus. The Settlement Agreement was then assigned to EXO Opportunity Fund, which has agreed to pay the remaining $70,000 to Laurus. Such payment would eliminate the balances due from the Company to Laurus and release the security interest and liens filed by Laurus.

Convertible debt due to Secured Lender

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 did not abide by the contractual terms of the assignment agreement; therefore, at February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2014, 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.

The Amended Notes originally matured on December 31, 2014. Amended Note 1 was modified in January 2015 to mature on December 31, 2015 and the Fund agreed that upon payment in full of the remaining balance of Amended Note 1, that Amended Note 2 would be considered paid in full.  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 volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 45 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.  During the three months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund converted $273,400 of principal into 203,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. No conversions were recorded during the three months ended February 28, 2015.

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. The Company determined that the fair value of the notes was $1,703,423 at the issuance dates. The value of the debt of $1,000,000 was recorded as a debt discount and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The variance to the fair value of $703,423 was recognized as an initial loss and recorded to interest expense.

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 also 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 for $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 in June 2013; 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 was 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 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 under the New Note 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 conversion feature 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 $1,103,940 at the issuance date. Debt discount was recorded up to the $625,000 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 in the aggregate amount of $478,940 was expensed 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 included in interest expense and 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 desired to convert existing debt into shares of common stock.

Effective January 20, 2015, the Company signed a debt modification agreement with the Fund. The modification reduced the outstanding balance on Amended Note 1 from $280,190 to $250,000, and provided that upon the completion of the payments required to retire Amended Note 1, the outstanding balance of Amended Note 2 would be reduced to from $1,000,000 to $0. The Fund subsequently assigned the remaining balance of Amended Note 1 and the related security agreements to EXO Opportunity Fund LLC (“EXO”). The Company also received $25,000 in cash in February 2015, in conjunction with a variable rate convertible debenture payable to EXO (“the EXO Note), which matures on December 31, 2015, bears interest at an annual rate of 6%, and is subject to the same security agreements as Amended Note 1.

The conversion price of the EXO 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 notes 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 note was $74,990 at the issuance date. Debt discount was recorded up to the $25,000 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 in the aggregate amount of $49,990 was expensed immediately as additional interest expense.

On January 21, 2015, the Company signed a second debt modification agreement with the Fund. This modification provided for the reduction of the principal balance of the New Note from $634,600 to $250,000, subject to certain conditions precedent. The Fund assigned a $250,000 portion of the New Note and the related security agreements to two new debt holders in equal amounts of $125,000 each. Subsequent to the balance sheet date of February 28, 2015, the Company met the conditions precedent in the debt modification agreement, and recognized a gain of $384,600 in its second quarter of fiscal 2015.

In conjunction with the debt modification agreement for Amended Note 1, the Company recognized a gain on troubled debt restructuring of $30,190, which combined with the gain on the Settlement Agreement with Laurus, provided an aggregate gain on troubled debt restructuring of $527,469 for the three-month period ended February 28, 2015.

The Amended Notes, New Note and EXO Note (the “Secured Lenders”) 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 pledged his voting control of the Company pursuant to a stock pledge agreement in favor of the Secured Lenders, to further secure the Company’s obligations.  If an event of default occurs under the security agreement, the stock pledge agreement, the Amended Notes , the New Note or the EXO 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.

At February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the Company owed the Fund $1,930,000 and $1,935,190, respectively.
