5. Convertible Debentures

Series 1 Notes

Under the provisions of ASC 815-40-15, “Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity-Scope and Scope Exceptions,” a number of our outstanding Convertible notes are not considered indexed to our stock, as a result of an anti-dilution protection provision in these notes. The application of ASC 815-40-15, effective August 1, 2011, resulted in our accounting for these notes as derivative instruments, and they are recognized as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Between August 16, 2010 and February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with As her Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of eleven (11) separate 8% convertible notes in various principal amounts, aggregating $387,500. The Company paid a total of $27,500 out of the proceeds of the notes to As her for legal fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The notes generally matured in nine (9) months, commencing May 2011 through November 2012, and were convertible into shares of common stock at a discount ranging from 39% to 55% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. The Series I Notes contained a provision requiring an adjustment to the conversion price of the note in the event the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, at a price per share lower than such conversion price. Accordingly, effective August 1, 2011, the Series I Notes were accounted for as a derivative liability, measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as gain or loss for each reporting period thereafter. The notes were recorded at fair value, using the Binomial valuation model, and a derivative liability of $175,865 was recorded for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. This liability was revalued each reporting period and gains and losses were recognized in the statement of operations under “Other Income (Expense)”.

In February, 2012, As her notified the Company that it had defaulted on the terms of four of its outstanding notes for failure to issue conversion shares in a timely manner. The terms of the notes provided that As her receive a 50% increase in the principal balance of any outstanding notes at the time of any such default. Consequently, the principal amount of notes outstanding at that time increased by $45,000.

As of September 14, 2012, As her had converted all of the $387,500 in principal notes, plus $45,000 and $16,200 in principal penalties and accrued interest, respectively, on these notes and has received a total of 331,609,583 shares of common stock upon the conversions at prices ranging from $0.0004 to $0.0039 per share. During fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Company expensed a total of $8,000 in accrued interest and there remains no derivative liability and no principal or interest due on these notes. Further, all shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the notes have been returned to the Company’s treasury.

Fair value of financial instruments

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 (“Fair Value Measurements”) which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

● Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

● Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

● Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long term debt approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.

The Company measured the fair value of the Series 1 derivative liability as Level 3 derivatives by using the Binomial Valuation model which traces key variables of exercise price, discount rate and the price per share and volatility of the underlying common stock.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial instrument liability for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012:

	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Balance October 31, 2011	$	175,865
Additions		112,885

Other Convertible Notes

On November 10, 2010, the Company borrowed $64,868 from a stockholder on terms similar to the Asher notes. The Note matured on May 31, 2012 and bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a forty two percent (42%) discount to the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date. The note holder may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature to be $46,973 as of the date of issuance of the debentures using the same criteria as noted above, which amount has been fully amortized as of October 31, 2012. The Company has expensed $12,814 in accrued interest on the note as of October 31, 2012. If the note had been converted as of October, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 41,422,733 shares of common stock the value of which would exceed, by $63,542, the principal balance due on the note. The Company is currently negotiating with the lender to settle or renegotiate the Note.

On March 16, 2009, a major stockholder, Mr. Anthony Frank, purchased a $75,000 convertible debenture for which the Company has expensed interest at ten percent (10%) per annum totaling $23,445 in accrued interest as of July 31, 2012. The debenture matured on March 16, 2012. The debenture was convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of 75% of the lowest closing bid price per share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $18,750, was amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. Effective May 1, 2012, Mr. Frank converted this loan, together with $23,466 in accrued interest, into 28,133,072 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.0035 per share.

On November 27, 2009, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unaffiliated lender. In September 2011, the lender converted $12,500 of the principal and $2,876 in accrued interest into 8,542,222 shares of common stock. The Company issued an Amended and Restated Convertible Note for the $12,500 principal balance of the loan. The amended note matures on December 31, 2012 and bears interest at 6% and is convertible into common shares at a 55% discount to the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature on the remaining balance to be $10,507 as of the date of issuance of the amended note and will amortize the cost over the life of the loan. As of July 31, 2012, the Company had expensed a total of $643 in accrued interest on the remaining principal balance of $12,500. If the $12,500 balance of the note had been converted as of October 31, 2012, the Company would have issued a total of 8,960,573 shares of common stock and would have fully amortized the $3,202 remaining expense of the conversion feature.

On August 1, 2011, an unaffiliated party purchased a $50,000 convertible debenture that would have matured on August 1, 2012. The debenture was convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a 25% discount (but not more than $0.002 per share) to the average closing bid prices of the common stock for the three (3) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The holder converted the debenture on February 1, 2012 at the conversion rate of $0.002 per share and received 25 million shares of common stock. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $16,667, was fully amortized as of the conversion date and $1,504 in interest accrued prior to the conversion was forgiven.

On January 12, 2012, the Company issued an Amended and Restated 6% Convertible Note for $37,500 to Gregg Newhuis, who became a director of the Company in May 2012, for proceeds received in fiscal 2010. The note, would have matured on December 31, 2012, was subsequently sold to Asher Enterprises which converted the entire principal balance of the note during January and February 2012. The Company issued 28,439,685 shares of common stock on the conversions at prices ranging from $0.0011 to $0.0016 per share. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, $37,500, was amortized in full as of the conversion date.

At October 31, 2012 and 2011, without taking into effect any unamortized discounts, convertible debentures and Series 1 notes consisted of the following:
