The outstanding warrants at April 30, 2014 have a weighted average exercise price of $0.085 per share and have a weighted average remaining life of 3.6 years.

 

As of April 30, 2014, the Company has 64,516,758 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of March 31, 2016, 27,272,720 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of September 30, 2016, 5,675,227 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of February 1, 2017, 4,999,999 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of August 10, 2017, 8,324,144 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of December 12, 2017, 34,166,669 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of June 17, 2018, 25,666,668 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of January 15, 2019 and 69,166,667 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of March 27, 2019 (239,788,852 warrants in total), which have price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the current exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s issuance of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. For instance, if the Company issues shares of its common stock or options exercisable for or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price per share of common stock less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price of the new issuance. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until June 17, 2016 and, beginning on June 17, 2016 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend is payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on June 30, 2013 and on each conversion date in cash, or at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to June 17, 2016, the Company will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. In addition, beginning June 17, 2016, the Company will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, and if such dividends are paid. The Company will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The Company may become obligated to redeem the convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including the failure to provide an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of the Company’s common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation services. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series E convertible preferred stock in June 2013 and January 2014, the Company also issued 40,833,335 and 26,666,668 warrants, respectively to the investors. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their respective dates of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the initial securities purchase agreement, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $1,225,000, which units will have terms identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the June 2013 closing. These additional investment rights of the investors have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities. On January 15, 2014, certain investors exercised 800 of the 1,225 shares of convertible preferred stock and related warrants available under the additional investment rights. Certain investors will continue to have rights to purchase up to 425 shares of convertible preferred stock and related warrants until June 17, 2014.

 

As of April 30, 2014, 2,000 of the Series E convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. There were 66,666,666 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series E convertible preferred stock and 18,585,193 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing

 

The net cash proceeds from the initial Series E convertible preferred stock financing in June 2013 were $1,165,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and third to the make whole payments. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 2013 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

     Accounting allocation of initial proceeds    
Net proceeds   $ 1,165,000  
Derivative warrant liability fair value     (1,189,744 )
Derivative additional investment rights fair value     (1,264,683 )
Make whole payments liability     (330,750 )
Deemed dividend   $ (1,620,177 )

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $330,750 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $6,750 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 5) at April 30, 2014.

 

The net cash proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing in January 2014 were $750,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing and second to the make whole payments. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended January 31, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

     Accounting allocation of initial proceeds    
Net proceeds   $ 750,000  
Derivative warrant liability fair value     (942,279 )
Make whole payments liability     (216,000 )
Deemed dividend   $ (408,279 )

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $216,000 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing.

 

    Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 4,150 shares of Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of one thousand ($1,000) per share. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated March 27, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,075 shares of Series F convertible preferred stock, as well as accompanying warrants to purchase 69,166,667 shares of common stocks. An aggregate of 69,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock which was issued at the closing on March 27, 2014.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until March 27, 2017 and, beginning on March 27, 2017 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend is payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on June 30, 2014 and on each conversion date in cash, or at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to March 27, 2017, the Company will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. In addition, beginning March 27, 2017, the Company will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, and if such dividends are paid. The Company will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The Company may become obligated to redeem the convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including the failure to provide an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of the Company’s common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation services. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series F convertible preferred stock in June 2014, the Company also issued 69,166,667 warrants to the investors. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their respective dates of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the securities purchase agreement, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $2,075,000, which units will have terms identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the March 2014 closing. These additional investment rights of the investors have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

As of April 30, 2014, 230 of the Series F convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. There were 7,666,666 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock and 2,070,000 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing

 

The net cash proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing in March 2014 were $2,020,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and third to the make whole payments.
