Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the extension of the maturity date for the $1,800,000 promissory note held by Bricoleur Partners, L.P. Previously, under Amendment No. 1, the maturity date was July 31, 2014. Under Amendment No. 2, the maturity date has been extended by two years to July 31, 2016. Additionally, the equity issuance rate for the period after July 31, 2014, is higher than the rate applicable prior to that date.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Default Risk: The note is due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined in the original 2012 Agreement, regardless of the extended maturity date.
- Dilution: The Company is obligated to issue significant numbers of common shares monthly until the debt is satisfied, which may result in shareholder dilution.
- Regulatory Status: The shares issued under this agreement are unregistered, relying on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Securities Act of 1933 as they do not involve a public offering.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the definition of "Event of Default" in the original 2012 Agreement to understand triggers for immediate repayment.
- Confirm the total number of shares issued to date and the projected dilution impact based on the new monthly issuance rates.
- Review the Company's current cash position to assess its ability to service the debt or refinance before the July 31, 2016 maturity.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the status of the $1,800,000 principal balance.
