NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.

OUTLOOK

 

 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of December 31, 2014 the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $5,687,000 and has negative working capital of approximately $5,538,000. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of new business opportunities.

 

 

 

Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to cease operations.

 

 

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

 

2.

REVOLVING LOAN

 

 

 

On October 6, 2014, the Company borrowed $2,400,000 from TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (the “Lender”) pursuant to the terms of a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, dated September 30, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) as joint and several guarantors, and the Lender. The funds have been and will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of certain obligations of the Company. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow an amount equal to the lesser of 80% of the amount in a certain Lock Box Account (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the revolving loan commitment, which initially is $1,400,000. The Company may request that the revolving loan commitment be raised by various specified amounts at specified times, up to a maximum of $5,000,000. In each case, the decision to grant any such increase in the revolving loan commitment is at the Lender’s sole discretion. The loan matures on the earlier of March 30, 2015, subject to a six-month extension at the request of the Company, or upon 60 days written notice by the Lender. The Company may prepay the Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), without penalty, provided it is repaid more than 180 days prior to maturity date. If Company prepays more than eighty percent (80%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment within 9 days following the effective date, there is a prepayment penalty equal to 2.5% of the Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

 

 

The loan bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum, and the Company will pay certain fees, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company paid an additional advisory fee of $450,000 to Lender as of December 31, 2014.

 

 

 

On October 30, 2014, the Company issued to the Lender 4,500,000 shares of redeemable common stock in payment of the advisory fee as stated in the credit agreement. The lender could require the Company to redeem these share for an amount up to $450,000 one year from the effective date of the agreement. On December 16, 2014 the Company and the lender entered into the first amendment to the credit agreement under which the available borrowing amount was increased and the original advisory fee in the amount of $450,000 was added to the outstanding loan amount with the lender and the shares issued on October 30, 2014 were deemed to be in settlement of a new advisory fee in the amount of $225,000. Under the terms of the amendment these shares are redeemable at the option of the lender for an amount up to $225,000 as defined in the agreement. As the redemption option is outside the control of the Company the redemption value of these shares has been recorded in temporary equity on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2014. Including to the advisory fee described above the Company incurred fees totaling $896,350 in order to obtain this debt financing. These fees are being amortized to consulting fees expense over the initial term of the credit agreement which is six months. At December 31, 2014 net deferred financing costs of $448,175 are included on the balance sheet and $448,175 has been included in general and administrative expense for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2014.

 

 

 

The balance of the credit loan agreement is $2,770,987 at December 31, 2014.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

 

 

 

On April 15, 2014, the Company entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with Super G Funding, LLC (Super G). Under this agreement the Company received $250,000 in exchange for accounts receivable of the Company totaling $315,000. This agreement is secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company subordinate to the security interest held by Boston Private Bank. The note requires the Company to make daily payments of $1,676 as the accounts receivable sold under the agreement are collected until such time as the full amount has been collected. The Company is accounting for this transaction as if it were short term note payable. Although the terms of the agreement appear to indicate this is a factoring arrangement without recourse, Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) section 860-10-40-5 “Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets – DE recognition” states that for such a transaction to be considered a transfer certain criteria must be met. The first of these criteria is the transferred financial assets have been isolated from the transferor, put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership. Transferred financial assets are isolated in bankruptcy or other receivership only if the transferred financial assets would be beyond the reach of the powers of a bankruptcy trustee or other receiver for the transferor or any of its consolidated affiliates included in the financial statements being presented.  As such the Super G agreement does not appear to result in “isolation of transferred financial assets beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors.” On December 16, 2014 the balance of this accounts receivable purchase agreement including all interest was paid in full.

 

 

 

On July 7, 2014, Company entered into a second accounts receivable purchase agreement with Super G under substantially the same terms as the first. This agreement requires the Company to make daily payments of $1,676 as the accounts receivable sold under the agreement are collected until such time as the full amount has been collected. On December 16, 2014 the balance of this accounts receivable purchase agreement including all interest was paid in full.

The note was convertible beginning 90 days from issuance at a 37.5% discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the common stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date, or the VWAP on the issuance date. The Company determined there was a beneficial conversion feature of $31,500 as of December 31, 2013 based on the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature as calculated using the VWAP on the issuance date of the note. The value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the note on the balance sheet at December 31, 2013 and was being amortized using the interest method through the earliest conversion date. This convertible note was repaid in full on July 7, 2014.

Upon issuance of the note the Company determined there was a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $59,659. The note was convertible as of the effective date of the agreement and therefore the entire discount related to the beneficial conversion feature had been charged to interest expense during the year ended March 31, 2014.

The Company determined there was a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $77,405 as of June 30, 2014.
