Note 9 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Convertible debenture issued on April 5, 2013, related party

 

On April 5, 2013, the Company issued a convertible debenture for an aggregate of $425,000 comprised of $400,000 previous advances (see note 7 above) and $25,000 additional proceeds. The financing closed on April 5, 2013.

 

The Note bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 for the prior quarter and principal must be repaid on April 5, 2016. The Note is convertible into common stock, at holder’s option, at a $0.50 per share with certain conversion adjustments in the event the Company issues additional shares of its common stock or securities convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price per share less than the conversion price in effect or without consideration, then the conversion price upon each issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In connection with the issuance of the convertible debenture, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,275,000 shares of its common stock and detachable warrants granting the holder the right to acquire an aggregate of 1,275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share for five years. The warrant contains exercise price adjustments in the event the Company issues additional shares of its common stock or securities convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price in effect or without consideration, then the exercise price upon each issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the above described debenture and warrants. This embedded derivative included variable conversion or exercise features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

 

The Company allocated proceeds based on the relative fair values of the debt, common stock and warrants, measured at an aggregate of $148,134, to the warrant and debt conversion provision liabilities (debt and warrants) and equity (common stock) to discount to convertible debenture. The fair values of the embedded derivatives were determined using the Binominal Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: contractual terms of 3 to 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 0.33% to 0.68%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 256.18%.

 

The charge of the amortization of debt discounts and costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $12,299 and $24,464, respectively; and $11,624 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which was accounted for as interest expense. At June 30, 2014, the unamortized debt discount was $87,177.

 

Convertible debentures effective March 31, 2013

 

In November 2013, effective March 31, 2013, the Company issued four convertible debentures for an aggregate of $385,000 comprised of previous advances. The financing closed in November 2013.

 

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 for the prior quarter and principal must be repaid on March 31, 2016. The Notes are convertible into common stock, at holder’s option, at a $0.50 per share with certain conversion adjustments in the event the Company issues additional shares of its common stock or securities convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price per share less than the conversion price in effect or without consideration, then the conversion price upon each issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company issued or is obligated to issue an aggregate of 1,155,000 shares of its common stock and detachable warrants granting the holder the right to acquire an aggregate of 1,155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share for five years. The warrant contains exercise price adjustments in the event the Company issues additional shares of its common stock or securities convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price in effect or without consideration, then the exercise price upon each issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the above described debentures and warrants. This embedded derivative included variable conversion or exercise features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

 

The Company allocated proceeds based on the relative fair values of the debt, common stock and warrants, measured at an aggregate of $129,532, to the warrant and debt conversion provision liabilities (debt and warrants) and equity (common stock) to discount to convertible debenture. The fair values of the embedded derivatives were determined using the Binominal Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: contractual terms of 3 to 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 0.36% to 0.77%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 227.18%.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid $35,000 outstanding convertible notes. In addition, the remaining notes in aggregate of $350,000 and accrued interest were exchanged for licensing rights for the State of Ohio (See Note 6 above). At the date(s) of payoff or exchange, the Company determined fair value of the embedded derivatives of $324,239, using the Binominal Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: contractual terms of 2 to 3 years, an average risk free interest rate of 0.39% to 0.48%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 205.71% to 232.90%, was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

 

The charge of the amortization and write off (upon payoff or conversion) of debt discounts and costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $78,540 and $97,031, which was accounted for as interest expense.
