10. Notes Payable to Related Parties

 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, in an effort to raise capital, the Company entered into various Secured Promissory Note agreements with accredited investors, who are also existing stockholders of the Company. As of December 31, 2012, $325,000 was raised. Upon closing, the Company issued to each investor a three-year warrant for the purchase of 325,000 shares (in the aggregate) of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.41 per share. On December 1, 2013, the Company will issue an additional three-year warrant for 325,000 shares to each investor at an exercise price equal to the average price of the common stock during the 10 trading days prior to December 1, 2013.

 

The promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum based on a 365-day year. Accrued interest will be paid semi-annually on June 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2014. The entire principal balance of the Note, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2014. In the event the Company defaults on interest and/or principal payments, the Company will use all accounts receivable obtained now or hereafter existing, pursuant to the License Agreement from VDF FutureCeuticals Inc. (the “Licensee”), as collateral.

 

The Company analyzed the terms of the warrants based on the provisions of ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,”  and determined that the warrants issued in conjunction with the closing of the notes payable qualified for equity accounting. The warrants that will be issued on December 1, 2013 have been determined to qualify as a derivative liability (see Note 11).

 

Under guidance in ASC 470, the Company allocated the $325,000 in proceeds proportionately between the Secured Promissory Note and the common stock warrants issued to the note holders based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the common stock warrants of $143,000, of which $71,500 was recorded as additional paid in capital and $71,500 was recorded as a derivative liability. The Secured Promissory Note was recorded at the principal amount of $325,000 less a discount of $143,000. This discount was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Secured Promissory Note to related parties using the effective interest method. The fair value of the common stock warrants issued in conjunction with the Secured Promissory Notes was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company determined the fair value of its common stock to be $0.41 per share at each of the dates the warrants were issued.  

 

Upon payment in full of the notes, a $25,000 fee will be paid by the Company to its placement agent, Martinez-Ayme Securities, Inc. As of December 31, 2012, $16,250 has been accrued and is included in accounts payables and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
