Item 8.01 Other Events
Update on the Company’s Convertible Notes
On January 5, 2010, the Company consummated a $12,000,000 financing (the “Offering”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Company issued 6,000,000 units at $2.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of a $2.00 principal amount, two year convertible note (collectively, as amended, the “Notes”) and a three year common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $2.40 per share. The Notes were due to mature on January 5, 2012, but the maturity date was extended (with the agreement of Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. (“Euro Pacific”), the placement agent for the Offering and representative of the Investors) to April 5, 2013 through four amendments to the Notes undertaken during 2012. As of the date of this Report, the Company has reduced the outstanding aggregate principal amount under the Notes to $8,464,500.
The Company had previously established an RMB denominated escrow account in China and deposited into such escrow account the remaining outstanding amount of the Notes. As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2013, the Company and Euro Pacific proposed to have the Company make a payment in the amount equal to 10% of the outstanding principal on the Notes plus any accrued interest (at the current rate of 12% per annum) on each of April 5, 2013, October 5, 2013 and April 5, 2014. However, due to significant difficulties encountered by the Company in converting the funds it generates from its business in China (denominated in the Chinese currency, the RMB) into US Dollars, the Company was not able to make the payments in full which were scheduled to be made on April 5, 2013, in the amount of $846,450 plus any accrued interest(the “April Late Payment”) and October 5, 2013, in the amount of $761,805 plus any accrued interest (the “October Late Payment”).
To fulfill a portion its commitment to make the late payments, on October 9, 2013, the Company transferred $100,000 to a U.S. escrow account designated by Euro Pacific, and expects to repay approximately $300,000 in the aggregate by the end of October and the remaining balance of the outstanding principal of the April Late Payment (approximately $446,450 in the aggregate) by the end of November. As soon as practical thereafter, the Company expects to repay the accrued interest of the April Late Payment and the full amount of October Late Payment, through one or multiple installments to be agreed to by Euro Pacific, as representative of the Investors.
The Company will continue to work with Euro Pacific on this matter and will continue its efforts to meet its obligations to the Note holders.
As disclosed in the Company’s 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company generated net operating cash flow of approximately $20.6 million. The Company continues to explore strategic opportunities to grow its business and bring value to shareholders, including operating and financing opportunities.
