NOTE 6 - Bridge Financing, Notes Payable, Accrued Interest and Cash Payment Obligation |
Bridge Financing
From November 2010 through March 2011, the Company issued to a number of accredited investors a series of its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Note (the Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,010,000 (the Financing). The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount evidenced by the Notes (the Principal Amount) plus all accrued and unpaid interest is due on the earlier of (i) the date the Company completes a financing transaction for the offer and sale of shares of common stock (including securities convertible into or exercisable for its common stock), in an aggregate amount of no less than 125% of the principal amounts evidenced by the Notes (a Qualifying Financing), and (ii) November 2 2011. If the Notes are held to maturity, the Company pays, at the option of the holder: i) cash or ii) in securities to be issued by the Company in the Qualifying Financing at the same price paid by other investors. The Notes are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in all of the Companys assets.
In November 2011, the Company entered into agreements with all holders of the then outstanding Notes. Under the terms of the agreements, holders of Notes totaling $800,000 agreed to extend the maturity due date of the Notes to February 2, 2012. For these note holders, no change occurred in their rights. Holders of the balance of the Notes totaling $210,000 agreed to convert the entire principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest of $20,271 into units (each, a Unit), each of which consists of one share of common stock of the Company and a four-year warrant to purchase one share of the Companys common stock at $2.00 per share. The conversion took place at a price of $1.50 per Unit. Accordingly, the Company issued an aggregate of 153,515 shares of common stock and 153,515 warrants. As a result of the conversion, the holders of the converted Notes forfeited all rights there under, including the right to acquire warrants to purchase the Companys common stock.
Also in November 2011, the Company issued additional Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $262,500. These Notes were due February 2, 2012 and contain the same rights and privileges as the previously issued Notes. In January, 2012, the Company issued additional Notes in the principal amount of $520,000. As of April 11, 2012, all note holders with maturity dates of February 2, 2012 extended the maturity through May 2, 2012.
In March and April 2012, the Company issued additional Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $220,100 due May 2, 2012. In March 2012, one note holder was repaid a partial principal balance of $65,000.
In May and June 2012, (the Company) issued to a number of accredited investors its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $4,347,419 (the New Notes), consisting of (i) $2,656,250 of new funds and (ii) $1,691,168 principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under previously issued 10% Senior Secured Convertible Bridge Notes (the Old Notes) that were cancelled and converted into the New Notes. The New Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount under the New Notes (the Principal Amount) plus all accrued and unpaid interest is due on the earlier of (i) the date the Company completes a financing transaction for the offer and sale of shares of common stock (including securities convertible into or exercisable for its common stock), in an aggregate amount of no less than 125% of the principal amounts evidenced by the Notes (a Qualifying Financing), and (ii) October 15, 2012. Payments may be made in cash, or, at the option of the holder of the New Notes in securities to be issued by the Company in the Qualifying Financing at the same price paid for such securities by other investors. The New Notes are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in all of the Companys assets.
The Company will also issue to the holders of the New Notes on the date that is the earlier of the repayment of the New Notes or the completion of the Qualifying Financing, at their option:
· five year warrants (the Warrants) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest divided by the per share purchase price of the Common stock offered and sold in the Qualifying Financing (the Offering Price) which Warrants shall be exercisable at the Offering Price and shall include cashless exercise provisions commencing 18 months from the date of issuance of the Warrants if there is not at that time an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock exercisable upon exercise of the Warrants, or
· that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product arrived at by multiplying (x) the Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Offering Price and (y) 0.33
The Company has granted piggy-back registration rights with respect to the securities to be issued in connection with the New Notes.
The New Notes contain embedded derivatives that on their inception date were valued with a Monte Carlo simulation as discussed in Note 6. The embedded derivatives, as they represent additional consideration given to the New Notes holders, were treated as a discount on the debt that is being amortized over the life of the New Notes which ends on October 15, 2012. The debt discounts booked as reductions to the New Notes during May 2012 were $478,544 and $1,852,713 for the variable maturity conversion option and the additional security issuance derivative. During the months of May and June 2012, $553,616 was amortized from the debt discount into interest expense. The remaining debt discount amounts as of June 30, 2012 are $364,867 and $1,412,774, respectively, and will be amortized during the subsequent life ending on October 15, 2012
The New Notes further provide that in the event of a change of control transaction, the proceeds from such transaction must be used by the Company to pay to the holders of the New Notes, pro rata based on the amount of New Notes owned by each holder, an amount equal to 1.5 times the amount of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the New Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest due there under, plus all other fees, costs or other charges due there under.
The holders of the New Notes were also granted the right to appoint two designees to serve as members of the Companys board of directors, which members will also serve as members of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee of the Companys board of directors.
The Company used $201,322 from the proceeds of the sale of the New Notes to pay off existing balances under the Old Notes that were not cancelled and converted into the New Notes.
The Companys obligations under the Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all shares of CommerceTel, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary.
The Company paid $200,630 in placement agent fees in connection with the sale and issuance of the New Notes. WFG Investments, Inc. and Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd., both registered broker dealers, cumulatively have been paid placement agent fees related to the Notes in the amount of $40,000 and $252,737, respectively, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs, and are being amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. The Company recorded deferred financing amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, totaling $65,703 and $20,000, respectively. The Company also recorded deferred financing amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, totaling $100,857 and $20,000, respectively
The following table summarizes information relative to all of the outstanding Notes at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
In accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company recorded a discount of $560,662 for the variable conversion feature and a discount of $2,172,750 for the warrants / shares to be issued. The discounts will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. The Company recorded $1,015,541 of interest expense for the amortization of the note discounts associated with derivative liabilities during the year ended June 30, 2012.
In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company determined that the variable conversion feature and the warrants / shares to be issued represented embedded derivative features, and these are shown as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. See Note 5.
The Company calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives associated with the convertible notes payable utilizing a complex, customized Monte Carlo simulation model suitable to value path dependant American options. The model uses the risk neutral methodology adapted to value corporate securities. This model utilized subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period.
