CAPITALIZATION

 

The Company is currently authorized to issue One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of one class of common stock, par value of $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), and Five Million (5,000,000) shares of blank check preferred stock with par value $0.0001 (“Preferred Stock”).

 

As of April 30, 2012, and immediately prior to Closing, there are 53,853,075 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding (including 17,580,000 shares of Common Stock issued in connection the Company’s Restricted Stock Incentive Program and which remain subject to forfeiture and termination, discussed below). The Company has not yet issued any Preferred Stock.

 

Warrants. In addition, as of April 30, 2012, the following warrants are outstanding: (i) 2,192,000 five year warrants exercisable at $0.75 (expire August 4, 2014); (ii) 250,000 four year warrants exercisable at $1.00 (expire November 2013); (iii) 100,000 three year warrants exercisable at $0.25 (expire June 2013); and (iv) 1,000,000 three year warrants exercisable at $0.10 (ten cents) (expire January 2013); and (v) 1,500,000 four year warrants at $0.05 (five cents) (expire April 2016) issued in connection with the Bridge Loan (discussed below).

 

Restricted Stock Incentive Program. Included in the total shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2012, are approximately 17,580,000 shares that have been issued as part of incentive packages to certain consultants, executive officers and members of the board of directors of the Company, as part of their compensation. These shares contain forfeiture provisions based on certain contingency events over the next 3 years. Accordingly, the pro-forma capitalization table below includes these 17,580,000 shares as validly issued and outstanding although these shares may be forfeited and cancelled to the extent that any of the defined contingencies, including resignation or removal of the relevant consultants, executive officers and/or directors. In these circumstances, the total issued and outstanding shares reflected and the pro-forma capitalization would be reduced accordingly.

 

Bridge Loan. In order to ensure the Company’s ability to complete its intended SCP Transaction prior to the completion of this private placement, on April 24, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a short term bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) in the amount of $300,000 for 60 days, with 10% annual interest, along with the issuance of 1,500,000 warrants exercisable for four years at $0.05 (five cents) per share. Co Vice Chairman and Director James R. Hyde and an unrelated third party individual (together the “Bridge Lenders”) funded the Bridge Loan in two tranches of $150,000 each on or before May 1, 2012.

 

Settlement of Outstanding Debt. As of April 30, 2012, the Company has total outstanding debts of $195,200, including $17,223 in current and trade accounts payables and $177,977.51 in loans from certain shareholders (the “Shareholder Loans”) (excluding the Bridge Loan). On April 24, 2012 the Board of Directors approved a proposed repayment and settlement of all of the Shareholder Loans by 50% cash payment and the balance in restricted common stock calculated at the same price of this private placement. Accordingly, the Company intends to use approximately $88,988.75 of the proceeds of this private placement for debt settlement and conversion along with approximately 1,779,775 shares of Common Stock to settle the Shareholder Loans. The pro-forma capitalization table below includes an allocation for the intended issuance of 1,779,775 shares of Common Stock for conversion of the Shareholder Loans. To the extent that the debt holders agree to take a greater portion of the Shareholder Loans or other payables in stock, the Company reserves the right to issue additional shares of Common Stock for the conversion of the Shareholder Loans or other accounts payable. The Company reserves the right to vary the terms on a case by case matter in negotiating with the debt holders. (see footnote 2 below).
