Note 5 - RELATED PARTIES

As more fully described in Note 9, on November 14, 2008 the Company entered into a series of convertible promissory notes (the “Related-Party Convertible Notes”), aggregating $110,000 with certain officers and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Related-Party Convertible Notes bear interest at 7.0% per annum and were originally due February 14, 2009.

In conjunction with the original issuance of the Related-Party Convertible Notes in 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 149,996 warrants to the note holders to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The warrants have an exercise price $0.50 per share and may be exercised at any time from November 14, 2008 until November 14, 2013. All warrants were outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company did not repay the Related-Party Convertible Notes on the due date.  In August 2009, the Company received from the Related-Party Convertible Note holders a waiver of default and extension to January 31, 2010 of the maturity date of the Related-Party Convertible Notes. As consideration for the waiver and note extension, the company issued to the Related-Party Convertible Note holders an aggregate of 150,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire on August 25, 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repaid $45,000 in principal to certain holders of the Related Party Convertible Notes. 

On January 21, 2013, the holders of the Related-Party Convertible Notes agreed to extend the due date on their respective convertible notes to be due and payable not later than June 30, 2014, however, the Related-Party Convertible Notes will be callable at any time, at the option of the note holder, prior to June 30, 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company entered into a series of professional service contracts with an entity that a member of the Company’s Board of Directors has an ownership interest in.  The aggregate contract value was $370,000 and the Company paid the professional services firm approximately $188,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

In March 2013, the Company entered into a new unsecured line of credit agreement with available borrowing of up to $2,500,000. The credit line was extended by an existing shareholder and member of our Board of Directors. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest of 8% per annum and are due in March 2015. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the holder shall have the right to convert the outstanding balance owed into shares of the Company’s common stock by dividing the outstanding balance by $0.95.

Advances under the credit facility are made at the Company’s request. The line of credit shall terminate, and no further advances shall be made, upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or such date that the Company consummates a debt and/or equity financing resulting in net proceeds to the Company of at least $2,500,000. In the event of such financing, the outstanding balance under the terms of this note shall be due and payable upon demand.

As additional consideration for the unsecured line of credit agreement, the Company issued to the holder a warrant exercisable for 1,052,632 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant has a term of two years from the date of issuance and an exercise price of $0.95 per share.
