NOTE 6 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING

On September 7, 2007, the Company completed a private placement, pursuant to which 13,334 units (the “Units”) were sold at a per Unit cash purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each Unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, stated value $100 (the “Preferred Stock”); (2) 500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”); and (3) 500 warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The proceeds of $2,000,100 were allocated to the instruments as follows:

 

Warrant liabilities   $ 141,027  
Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock     1,388,367  
Common Stock     470,706  
Total allocated gross proceeds:   $ 2,000,100  

 

Warrants

 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, warrants to purchase 6,909,000 shares were outstanding, having exercise prices at $0.15 and an expiration date for December 31, 2011 of September 6, 2012 and an expiration date for December 31, 2012 of September 6, 2014.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was 1.67 years and 0.69 years, respectively.

 

The warrants, which were issued to investors in the September 7, 2007, private placement offering, contained a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there was a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer, or share exchange). If a fundamental transaction occurred in which the consideration issued consisted principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then the warrant holder had the option to receive cash, equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant. Due to this contingent redemption provision, the warrants required liability classification in accordance with ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” (“ASC 480”) and were recorded at fair value. In addition, these warrants were not indexed to the Company’s stock, and therefore also required liability classification under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” (ASC 815).

 

ASC 820 provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Fair values for warrants are determined using the Binomial Lattice valuation technique. The Binomial Lattice valuation model provides for dynamic assumptions regarding volatility and risk-free interest rates within the total period to maturity. Accordingly, within the contractual term, the Company provided multiple date intervals over which multiple volatilities and risk free interest rates were used. These intervals allow the Binomial Lattice valuation model to project outcomes along specific paths which consider volatilities and risk free rates that would be more likely in an early exercise scenario.

 

Significant assumptions are determined as follows:

Trading market values—Published trading market values;

Exercise price—Stated exercise price;

Term—Remaining contractual term of the warrant;

Volatility—Historical trading volatility for periods consistent with the remaining terms;

Risk-free rate—Yields on zero coupon government securities with remaining terms consistent with the remaining terms of the warrants.

 

Due to the fundamental transaction provision, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered the probability the Company would enter into a fundamental transaction during the remaining term of the warrant. Since the Company is still in its development stage and is not yet achieving positive cash flow, management believes the probability of a fundamental transaction occurring over the term of the warrant is approximately ranging from 0.75% - 1.00%. For valuation purposes, the Company also assumed that if such a transaction did occur, it was more likely to occur towards the end of the term of the warrants.

 

The warrants issued are not only subject to traditional anti-dilution protection, such as stock splits and dividends, but they were also subject to down-round anti-dilution protection. Accordingly, if the Company sold common stock or common stock indexed financial instruments below the stated exercise price, the exercise price related to these warrants would adjust to that lower amount. The Lattice model used to value the warrants with down-round anti-dilution protection provided for multiple, probability-weighted scenarios at the stated exercise price and at five additional decrements/scenarios on each valuation date in order to encompass the value of the anti-dilution provisions in the estimate of fair value of the warrants, Calculations were performed at the stated exercise price and at five additional decrements/scenarios on each valuation date. The calculations provide for multiple, probability-weighted scenarios reflecting decrements that result from declines in the market prices. Decrements are predicated on the trading market prices in decreasing ranges below the contractual exercise price. For each valuation date, multiple Binomial Lattice calculations were performed which were probability weighted by considering both the Company’s (i) historical market pricing trends, and (ii) an outlook for whether or not the Company may need to issue equity or equity-indexed instruments in the future with a price less than the current exercise price.

 

Effective June 30, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its Warrant Agreement. The amendment to remove the put and the down-round protection feature allows for the Warrants to be treated as equity beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The amendments to the Warrants resulted in an approximate value of $10,600 which was based on comparing the valuation of the modified warrants using the current assumptions to the valuation immediately prior to the modification. On June 30, 2012, the $10,571 of warrants liability was extinguished and was charged against $9,396 of Warrant liability extinguishment on the Statement of Operation and $1,176 of Additional paid-in capital on the Balance Sheet.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the warrants liability as of the balance sheet date:

Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The principal terms of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock were as follows:

 

Voting rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock has voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common stock.

 

Dividend rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock carries a fixed cumulative dividend, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, of 10% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually and payable in cash upon a liquidation event for up to five years, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to holders of common stock.

 

Conversion rights – The holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to convert any or all of their Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, at the option of the holder, at any time, into common stock on a one for one thousand basis.

 

Redemption rights –The shares of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, upon written notice by the Company to the holders of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at any time in the event that the Preferred Stock of one or more holders has not been previously converted. The Company shall redeem each share of Preferred Stock of such holders within thirty (30) days of the Company's delivery of notice to such holders and such holders shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Liquidation entitlement – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $100 per share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

At any time on or after August 2, 2011, the Holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Preferred Stock then outstanding could have requested liquidation of their Preferred Stock. In the event that, at the time of such requested liquidation, the Company's cash funds (in excess of a $50,000 reserve fund) then available to effect such requested liquidation were inadequate for such purpose, then such requested liquidation should have taken place (on a ratable basis) only to the extent such excess cash funds were available for such purpose.

 

Other provisions – There will be proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

 

Effective June 30, 2012, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to an amendment to the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock which deleted the liquidation provision. As a result, the Convertible Preferred Stock was classified as equity (rather than temporary equity) in all filings beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
