Preferred Stock - The Company has authorized 4,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a $0.0001 par value.  As holders of any series of preferred stock convert into common shares the preferred shares are no longer outstanding and become available for reissuance.  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 887,303 and 1,005,648 preferred shares outstanding, respectively.

 

Series B Preferred Stock - As of June 30, 2014 there were no shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

On April 14, 2014 all remaining Series B preferred shares, 101,935, were mandatorily converted into common shares.   The conversion of Series B preferred shares to common shares resulted in a release of $40,529 in accumulated dividends during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

Series C Preferred Stock - As of June 30, 2014 there were no shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

On April 14, 2014 all remaining Series C preferred shares, 45,000, were mandatorily converted into common shares.  Holders of Series C Preferred Stock accrued dividends at the rate per annum of $0.16 per share. At June 30, 2014, Series C Preferred Stock had dividends accumulated of $17,870.  The Company has dividends payable of $17,870 included in current liabilities as of June 30, 2014.

 

Series D Preferred Stock - As of June 30, 2014 there were 887,303 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

In October 2013, the Company initiated a follow-on Series D Preferred stock offering to sell the remaining 772,352 units at $3.00 per unit for up to $2,317,056 gross proceeds. The offering includes an over-allotment of 1,000,000 units for an additional $3,000,000 in potential gross proceeds.  The offering term was extended and ended May 30, 2014.  The terms of the follow-on Series D preferred stock offering are the same as the original Series D preferred stock offering.

 

In January 2014, the Company issued 53,332 units sold at $3.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $159,996.  The Company paid share issuance costs in the amount of $6,000.  Each unit in this offering consists of one share of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and one-half warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $3.00 per share.  The Company issued warrants to purchase 26,666 shares of common stock outstanding. The warrants will be exercisable by the holders at any time on or after the issuance date of the warrants through and including one year from their respective issuance dates.

 

In May 2014, the Company issued 118,655 units sold at $3.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $355,966.  Each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and one-half warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $3.00 per share.  The Company issued warrants to purchase 59,327 shares of common stock. The warrants will be exercisable by the holders at any time through and including one year from their respective issuance dates.

 

Holders of Series D Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate per annum of $0.24 per share, payable on a quarterly basis. As dividends are accrued and payable quarterly on the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company paid dividends of $45,665 and $89,683 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 the Company had dividends payable in accrued expenses of $49,237.

 

The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have conversion rights equivalent to such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series D original issue price of $3.00 by the then applicable conversion price. Each Series D Share will convert into one share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder of the Series D Shares or will be converted at the option of the Company at any time the trading price of our common stock is at least $4.50 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The conversion ratio is subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event that the Company issues equity securities at a price equivalent to or less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue. We have determined that there is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).  The calculated value as of the commitment date of the BCF was $24,279, which represents the difference between the effective conversion price and the stated conversion price multiplied by the total number of shares which may be converted.  We have recorded this amount as a deemed dividend as of the date of issuance, as the Series D Preferred Stock is immediately convertible.  This amount was recorded as a charge against our accumulated deficit in our accompanying balance sheet.

 

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference over the holders of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series D Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, on the Series D Preferred Stock. A liquidation would be deemed to occur upon the happening of customary events, including transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s common stock or assets or a merger, or consolidation. The Company believes that such liquidation events are within its control and therefore the Company has classified the Series D Preferred Stock in stockholders’ equity.

 

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock entitles the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

 

Each unit includes one-half warrant.  Each full warrant grants the right to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock and, as of June 30, 2014, there were warrants to purchase 449,817 shares of common stock outstanding.  The warrants issued with the original Series D offering will be exercisable by the holders at any time on or after the issuance date of the warrants through and including October 1, 2014.  The warrants issued with the follow-on Series D offering will be exercisable by the holders at any time on or after the issuance date of the warrants through and including one year from their respective issuance dates.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to register the shares underlying the warrants issued in the follow-on Series D preferred stock offering and the original Series D preferred stock offering.  The Company intends to file the registration statement not later than 90 days following the completion of the offering, May 30, 2014, and will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for the investors in this and the prior offering through December 31, 2015.
