Note 8: Long-Term Debt |
Everest Group Loan
On May 13, 2011, the Company, certain of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the Borrowers), and Everest Group LLC (Lender) entered into a Loan Agreement (the Loan Agreement), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan the Borrowers an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 (the Loan). The Loan was funded to the Borrowers on May 16, 2011. The Borrowers used the proceeds of the Loan for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Loan Agreement provided for a one-year term, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms or extended upon the mutual agreement of all parties. The Borrowers paid an annual interest rate equal to 18% on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears commencing on June 1, 2011. Commencing on November 1, 2011, and on the first day of each subsequent calendar month, the Borrowers were required to make $50,000 monthly installment payments of principal on the Loan, with the unpaid principal balance was due and payable on the termination date of the Loan. The Loan was paid off in May 2012.
ICG Convertible Note Transaction
On April 3, 2012 (the Closing Date), the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the ICG Purchase Agreement) with Isaac Capital Group, LLC (ICG), which is a related party, pursuant to which ICG agreed to purchase for cash up to $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Companys unsecured Subordinated Convertible Notes (Notes). ICG is owned by Jon Isaac, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer and a director on the Companys Board. Prior to this transaction, Mr. Isaac owned 403,225 shares, or 16.8% of the Companys outstanding common stock. The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are unsecured, provide that all amounts payable by the Company to ICG under the Notes will be due and payable on April 3, 2013 (Maturity Date), provided that the Company has the option in its discretion to extend the Maturity Date by up to one (1) year if no Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, and the Company is in material compliance with its agreements and covenants under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as of the Maturity Date.
On January 14, 2013, the Company and ICG amended the Purchase Agreement to clarify ambiguities and correct inadvertent mistakes related to the warrant issuance timing and the conversion price of a Note, and to amend various anti-dilution features. These changes were consistent with the intent of the parties at the time they entered into the Purchase Agreement and are consistent with the Companys past practices related to the Notes and warrants. In particular, the amendment clarifies that the warrants will be issued upon conversion (rather than upon issuance) of the Notes and provides that the conversion price of a Note shall be based upon a floor price of $1.00 per share, regardless if the Companys stock is trading below that amount at the time ICG elects to convert a Note.
The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as amended, provide that:
The events of default (Events of Default) which trigger the acceleration of the Notes include (among other things): (i) the Companys failure to make any payment required under the Notes when due (subject to a three-day cure period), (ii) the Companys failure to comply with its covenants and agreements under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other transaction documents, and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control with respect to the Company.
The Company issued an initial Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to ICG on the Closing Date. Because the conversion price of $2.53 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $166,667. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital. The discount to the Note is being amortized to interest expense until maturity or its earlier repayment or conversion.
On September 10, 2012, ICG elected to convert a Note with a conversion price of $2.38 per share, resulting in the issuance of 109,139 shares. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, warrants to acquire 109,139 shares were issued upon conversion with an exercise price of ($2.38 x 120%) $2.85 per share. Upon conversion of the convertible debt instrument, the remaining debt discount of $97,222 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt conversion was $322,927 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.
On December 11, 2012, the Company issued a second Note to ICG in the principal amount of $250,000, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On December 17, 2012, ICG elected to convert that Note with a conversion price of $2.02 per share, resulting in the issuance of 123,829 shares of the Companys common stock and a warrant to acquire 123,829 additional shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $2.43 per share. Upon conversion of the convertible debt instrument, the remaining debt discount was immediately recognized as interest expense so that the original amount related to the beneficial conversion feature of 200,738 was fully expensed.
On March 22, 2013 and March 25, 2013, the Company issued a third and fourth Note to ICG in the principal amount of $500,000 and $250,000 respectively, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $1.38 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to beneficial conversion features valued at $401,386. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on March 25, 2013. On March 27, 2013, ICG elected to convert these Notes, resulting in the issuance of 543,962 shares of the Companys common stock and a warrant to acquire 543,962 additional shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. Upon conversion of such Notes, the remaining debt discount of $396,977 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of these Notes was $1,299,884 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.
On March 28, 2013, the Company issued a fifth Note to ICG in the principal amount of $250,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $1.40 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $250,000. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on March 28, 2013. On March 28, 2013, ICG elected to convert the Note, resulting in the issuance of 178,572 additional shares of the Companys common stock and a warrant to acquire 178,572 shares at an exercise price of $1.68 per share. Upon conversion of such Note, the debt discount of $250,000 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of the Note was $589,442 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of all Notes issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes. |
