During the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded interest expense of $9,891 and $13,029, respectively, related to the contractual interest rates of our notes payable.

 

12% NOTES

 

From August 1999 through May 2005, we entered into various borrowing arrangements for the issuance of notes payable from private placement offerings (the "12% Notes"). On April 21, 2010, a holder of $100,000 of the 12% Notes converted his principal balance and $71,758 of accrued interest into 687,033 shares of common stock at an agreed conversion price of $0.25 per share. We incurred a loss upon this conversion of $68,703 since the closing price of our common stock was $0.35 at the date of conversion. At June 30, 2013, the 12% Notes were past due, in default, and bearing interest at the default rate of 15%.

 

10% NOTES

 

At June 30, 2013, one 10% Note in the amount of $5,000, which is past due and in default, remained outstanding and it bears interest at the default rate of 15%.

 

Management's plans to satisfy the remaining outstanding balance on these 12% and 10% Notes include converting the notes to common stock at market value or repayment with available funds.

 

TONAQUINT NOTE

 

On June 28, 2011, in conjunction with our satisfying all balances owed under a convertible note, we entered into a Termination Agreement with Tonaquint, Inc. under which both parties agreed that in consideration of the termination of a warrant, the waiving of all fees, penalties, the creation of the selling program and other factors, we agreed to issue an unsecured non-convertible promissory note (the "New Note") in the principal amount of $360,186, which provides for annual interest at a rate of 6%, payable monthly in either cash or our stock, at our option. The New Note originally had a maturity date of April 30, 2012.

 

We subsequently extended the note initially to July 31, 2012 and then to July 31, 2013 and subsequently to August 31, 2013 (see Note 14) and converted $236,305 of the principal of the note into common stock (see Note 6). We also recorded into principal $7,500 of the lender’s legal fees related to documentation of the extension agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on conversion of $22,789 on those partial conversions.
