Revenue, Profit, and Cash Flow:

Material Changes and Terms

Conversion Rights:

  • The note is convertible into common stock at the Holder's option on or before the Maturity Date.
  • Conversion Price: The lower of (a) the closing bid price on May 20, 2008, or (b) the average price of a "New Offering" (defined as an offering yielding at least $300,000 in net proceeds).
  • Acceleration: If the Company completes a New Offering, the entire note becomes immediately due and payable.
  • Registration Rights: Holder receives "piggyback" registration rights for conversion shares.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary:

  • The transaction was previously disclosed in the Form 10-QSB dated May 20, 2008.
Risks and Contingencies:
  • Liquidity Risk: The short-term maturity (June 30, 2008) creates immediate refinancing or repayment pressure.
  • Default Risk: A default triggers a high 25% interest rate.
  • Dilution Risk: Conversion terms are based on the lower of the market price or a new offering price, potentially leading to significant dilution.
  • Debt Covenants: The Company is prohibited from issuing new senior debt, limiting future financing flexibility.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the total aggregate principal amount of all outstanding "Hayden Notes" (this filing covers only the $150,000 Series I note).
  • Confirm the current stock price relative to the May 20, 2008 closing bid to assess potential dilution upon conversion.
  • Review the Company's cash position to determine ability to repay the $150,000 by June 30, 2008, or to raise the $300,000 required to trigger a "New Offering."
  • Check for any subsequent filings regarding a "Default" status or extension of the maturity date.
