NOTE 5 – 2011 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

On October 7, 2011, concurrently with the Share Exchange, the Company issued secured Convertible Debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) in the amount of $1,625,000 of which $1,125,000 were sold to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $1,065,000, net of selling commissions to a placement agent of $40,000 and $20,000 of legal fees, and $500,000 were exchanged for 8% Notes Payable (“Notes Payable”) issued on September 9, 2011. In addition, 400,000 shares of common stock with the fair market value of $144,000 were issued to a second placement agent. On November 16, the Company issued Convertible Debentures in the amount of $450,000 for aggregate cash proceeds of $436,000, net of selling commissions to a third placement agent of $14,000.

 

The Convertible Debentures matured on the earlier of (i) one year from the date of issuance or (ii) the date of closing of a private placement of equity, equity equivalent, convertible debt or debt financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds, in one or more transactions, of at least $3,425,000 (a “Subsequent Financing”), which took place on January 20, 2012 (“January 2012 Financing”) (see Note 6). The Convertible Debentures bore interest at 8% per annum and were convertible at the holder’s option into a Subsequent Financing. In the event that a Subsequent Financing has not occurred within 12 months from the date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the holder had the option to convert into a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to 1% of the Company's shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis for every $125,000 of Convertible Debentures (the “Conversion Shares”) or an aggregate of approximately 3,985,000 shares based on the outstanding shares of the Company common stock as of December 31, 2011.

   

Upon the January 2012 Financing (See Note 6), $1,925,000 of debentures were exchanged for Units and the remaining $150,000 of debentures were repaid. As a result of the exchange, $1,925,000 principal amount of debentures are classified as a non-current liability in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2011.

  

Upon conversion or repayment of the Convertible Debenture, the holder was entitled to receive, at the holder’s option, either (i) a warrant (the “Debenture Warrant”), which has a three year term and is exercisable at the offering price in a Subsequent Financing, to purchase such number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture divided by the offering price in a Subsequent Financing, (the “Warrant Shares”) or (ii) shares of the Company's common stock equal to 33% of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture divided by the offering price in a Subsequent Financing (the “Incentive Shares”). The Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Incentive Shares are entitled to piggyback registration rights. Upon the January 2012 Financing, the holders of the Convertible Debenture elected to receive 275,000 Debenture Warrants exercisable at $1 per share with a fair value of $83,289 and 594,000 Incentive Shares valued at $368,280. The value of the Debenture Warrants and Incentive Shares was charged to operations as interest expense in the first quarter of 2012.

 

In addition to selling commissions paid to the placement agents on the sale of certain Convertible Debentures, the placement agents received warrants that expire in January 2014 and 2015 (“Agents Warrants”), respectively, and are exercisable at the offering price in a Subsequent Financing to purchase shares of the Company's common stock equal to 3% and 9%, respectively, of the gross proceeds delivered by purchasers introduced by such placement agents divided by the purchase price per share in the Subsequent Financing. In the event that the Subsequent Financing has not occurred within 12 months from the date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the placement agents were entitled to receive, in lieu of the warrants, shares of common stock equal to 3% and 9%, respectively, of the number of shares of the Company's common stock such purchasers were entitled to receive upon conversion of their Convertible Debentures or an aggregate of approximately 88,000 shares based on the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2011.

 

The Company recognized a liability to placement agents to issue shares of its common stock based on their fair value of approximately $32,000 as of December 31, 2011. Upon the January 2012 Financing, the placement agents become entitled to receive 30,750 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share with a fair value $6,126, which was charged to operations as interest expense in the first quarter of 2012. Additionally the liability to placement agent of $32,000 was credited to interest expense in the first quarter of 2012.

 

The fair value of the Debenture and Agents Warrants was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of the Company’s common stock $0.62 per share determined based on January and March 2012 proceeds; dividends yield 0%; expected terms 2 to 3 years; risk free interest rate: 0.91%; and expected volatility: 73 to 94%.

 

The following expenses in connection with the issuance of Convertible Debentures were recorded as deferred financing costs: fair value of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the placement agent valued at $144,000, cash payments to the placement agents of $54,000, legal expenses of $20,000 and fair value of the liability to placement agent to issue the Company’s shares of common stock in the amount of $32,000. The deferred financing costs were amortized using the effective interest method over the twelve month term of the Convertible Debentures. During the year ended December 31, 2011, amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to approximately $53,000 and was charged to interest expense in the statement of operations and the remaining balance of $196,166 was charged to operations in connection with the extinguishment of the debentures resulting from their exchange and repayment in 2012.

 

Pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guaranty, the Company granted the Debenture holders a first priority lien on all its assets.
