As described in detail in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 we issued convertible notes from 2009 through 2012. Additional notes with a face amount of $482,625 were issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there are notes with a total face amount of $2,042,958 outstanding. These notes are due at dates throughout 2013 and through August 2014. These notes bear interest at rates ranging from 5% to 8%, and $277,150 of the notes outstanding include a 10% original issuance discount. The notes are convertible at fixed rates ranging from $0.08 to $0.25 per share and $339,900 of the face amount of the notes are convertible at floating discounts to the market price of our common stock at the date of conversion. The majority of these floating rates are at a 30% discount to market.
At the time of issuance the value of the beneficial conversion feature of these notes is calculated, recorded as a discount to the note, and amortized to expense over the term of the note. If the notes are converted before maturity, any unamortized expense at the time of conversion is expensed at the time of conversion. As of September 30, 2013, there is $149,831 of unamortized discount remaining to be amortized in future periods.
A total of $896,980 and $274,815 of discount was amortized to interest expense during the nine month periods ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |

We use the fair value method to account for stock based compensation. We recorded $60,204 and $215,291 in compensation expense in the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to options and restricted stock issued under our stock-based incentive compensation plans. This includes expense related to both options issued and committed, as well as unissued restricted stock in the current year, and options issued in prior years for which the requisite service period for those options includes the current year. The fair value of these options was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Information related to the assumptions used in this model is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. For options issued in 2013, the same approximate assumptions were used. |
