Stockholders' Equity Disclosure

8.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

Common Stock - The Company has authorized 20,000,000 common shares with a $0.0001 par value. There were 11,061,414 shares issued and 11,017,641 outstanding at September 30, 2015 and 9,495,045 shares issued and 10,952,356 outstanding at December 31, 2014.

 

On October 1, 2014, the Company commenced a non-public equity offering of units at $1.75 per unit (the “Units”).  Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $2.00 per share.  The purchase price for the Units is payable in either cash, conversion of outstanding Series D preferred shares or certain outstanding promissory notes.  During the first half of 2015, the Company issued 50,285 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 25,141 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $88,000.

 

On March 13, 2015 the Company issued 15,000 common shares in exchange for consulting services valued at $25,500.

 

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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 200 shares of Series B preferred shares that were automatically converted to common shares but have not been converted by transfer agent as of the date of this report and 178,924 Series D preferred shares outstanding.

 

Series D Preferred Stock - As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there were 178,924 shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding.

 

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 no dividends during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $31,475 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The Company paid dividends of $49,254 and $138,937 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  As of September 30, 2015 the Company has dividends payable in accrued expenses of $40,084.

 

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.

 

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.
