PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Players Network is a vertically integrated diversified, fully reporting public company that is engaged in the development of digital networks, and is actively pursuing the cultivation and processing of medical marijuana in North Las Vegas pursuant to two medical marijuana establishments (MME) licenses we were granted by the city of North Las Vegas for cultivation and production. The Company holds an 81.4% interest in Green Leaf Farms Holdings, LLC, which is a holding company formed to house our medical marijuana business. We distribute broadband video and other social media content over a wide variety of internet enabled devices and cable television channels. The Company has launched its proprietary scalable NexGenTV technology platform. The platform is designed to deliver video content and develop digital social communities, including “Vegas On Demand TV”, “Real Vegas TV” and “Weed TV” on the media side of the business.

 

The Company operates a Video On Demand (“VOD”) television channel, also named Vegas On Demand, which consists of original programming that is distributed over its own VOD channels to approximately 23 million homes via a major cable company, and 80 million homes via the internet on the Over The Top Television platform, with distribution partners that include Blinkx, YouTube Video and other internet and various mobile platforms. Players Network has a seventeen-year history of providing consumers with quality ‘Gaming and Las Vegas Lifestyle’ video content.

 

We have developed NexGenTV, an innovative, proprietary Enterprise Web Platform that incorporates the best parts of Hulu, YouTube, Facebook, Zenga and Groupon. We believe it will change how businesses approach building digital brand extensions.

 

NexGenTV, our scalable Digital Technology Platform, allows Players Network to distribute content for brands, businesses and celebrities, and provide them with an unlimited amount of lifestyle category content and the tools to launch their own “Branded Channel, Social Community and Marketplace Destination”. NexGenTV’s scalability can create hundreds of niche digital networks that can be viewed worldwide on any smart TV, computer, tablet or mobile device by millions of people simultaneously. The platform allows advertisers and marketing partners the ability to capture their target market through rich content such as professionally produced, branded television segments; user-generated videos; blogs; editorials; tweets; photos; special offers; events and custom-designed contests.

 

Our business model incorporates elements of traditional proven media features such as advertising and transactional delivery methods, but also offers professional production, marketing and distribution services to build and monetize its branded channel destination, in which we will retain a continuous revenue stream with our partners. Channel partners have the option to manage their own Branded New Media Channel, or use our professional services team of television producers, writers, graphic designers and technologists to keep their channel updated, and their content fresh and relevant.

 

Vegas On Demand TV, Real Vegas TV and Weed TV are the Company’s first three channel offerings that provide their audience the ability to connect to industry insiders and businesses through unique, high-quality marketing, content production and content management system. In the Las Vegas market, Vegas On Demand captures the excitement, sex appeal, entertainment, and the non-stop adrenaline rush of the Las Vegas gaming lifestyle. Our content goes beyond poker, casino action, sports betting, and racing, to lifestyle programs about entertainment and fine living that attract young and sophisticated viewers that comprise the major digital media demographic. Whenever possible, our content will incorporate an expert, insider or celebrity within the Vegas community in order to enhance promotional merchandising to prospective customers.

 

Weed TV launched on April 20, 2014, and was the Company’s third network to be launched. Weed TV is a Lifestyle Channel Destination powered by PNTV’s NextGenTV(SM) enterprise platform. Weed TV is the ‘go to’ source for informational entertainment, products and services for people who relate to the marijuana lifestyle and social community. Weed TV will feature daily stories sourced by weedtv.com correspondents and contributors from around the world. It will provide a wide variety of editorial content, videos and entertainment, including lead stories, political news, business news on the industry, financial analysis from industry experts, growing tips, cooking tips, a “Weed101” section, medical uses, lifestyle features, entertainment specials and merchandise shopping cart offering the latest products and services. www.weedtv.com

 

We plan for Weed TV to have other features by the middle of 2015 and adapt new technology that he other networks don’t have, including a directory of businesses that cater to the marijuana business, such as dispensaries, smoke shops, doctors, financial institutions, manufactures and more. These businesses will have a free basic listing and the ability to upgrade for an extra fee of about $500 per month, where they can build their own media channel using the ‘NextGenTV” Platform. We estimate this market is in excess of approximately 70,000 businesses and will continue to grow as more states legalize MME businesses. Our goal in 2015 is to begin to capture this market that will translate to significant revenues even if we only convert a small amount of this market into marketing partners who use our platform.

We plan to use both, Weed TV’s platform and original branded programming and events, as a means to develop additional revenue streams, in addition to providing marketing and membership benefits of our social media platform. These revenue streams include branded entertainment, sponsorships for events, media placement, third party commissions for video and banner advertisements, merchandise and production sales and services.

 

We have addressed the digital market in an effort to grow as a New Media Company using “Vegas On Demand” and Real Vegas TV, our flagship branded television channel, and to use our scalable custom enterprise web platform, which can also be replicated to launch thousands of channel destinations in any lifestyle category for any lifestyle brand.

 

Our enterprise platform is highly scalable and can efficiently deploy, manage and distribute videos with integrated revenue-generating tools that go beyond traditional advertising. On our platform, the viewer of a video is brought into a web environment encompassing the lifestyle represented within the video content where they are presented with membership, merchandising, couponing, subscription, loyalty programs, contest and other marketing opportunities, including the integration of live events. The platform also integrates branded sponsorships, and a game-like virtual economy supported by our Cost Per Action (“CPA”) advertising network.

 

Our next-generation media network operates across all distribution platforms from TV screens to mobile devices, gaming consoles, computers and tablets. We have positioned ourselves to provide companies an affordable, turnkey, integrated solution. We have not yet generated revenues from our Platform, but plan to market our services to companies in 2015.

 

Through the cross-promotional integration of sponsored live events, contests and media creation and distribution, our Platform can deliver a targeted audience that can be monetized in multiple ways. The platform is an engine that grows as audience and page views increase. The platform also provides a self-perpetuating aggregation juncture where Las Vegas businesses and “insiders” can connect socially with their audience/customer.

 

The ability to monetize video in so many ways, coupled with an efficient, easy-to-use technical and administrative back-end dashboard is a powerful feature of our platform. It allows the creation of unlimited, new channel destinations using our scalable content management system (“CMS”) framework, with cost-competitive operations. Importantly, it enables administrative and editorial level employees to manage content without the expense of having a full-time technical engineering staff in-house.

 

Premium members must be industry insiders and/or experts in their lifestyle category. For example, with regard to Vegas On Demand, insiders are designed to be the who’s-who of Vegas: entertainers, nightclub promoters, casino hosts, famous chefs, etc. who offer our members deals on transactions connected to their sphere of influence. Deals may include being invited to a special VIP event, line passes, two-for-one offers, pay-per-view video discounts, etc.

 

Market Opportunity

 

The Company’s opportunity to capitalize on its early adaptation in the market place is primarily due to the advancement in technology and digital platforms. This digital revolution has rapidly changed the way consumers access television content. Instead of scheduled programming, video can now be viewed “On Demand” through digital cable television and satellite networks, broadband internet, and by downloading content to mobile and wireless devices such as MP3 players, Smart phones and PDAs.

 

Each new network will become an integrated channel destination that will include VOD television and a social community to complete and compliment a vertical distribution and marketing strategy. Each network will command a new audience and advertisement tied to the amount of monthly viewers, thus ultimately increasing Players Network’s advertising revenues.

 

Social media websites have continued to explode during the past few years, however many people have not heard of the hundreds of upcoming niche social networks. We plan to integrate all our websites with social elements in order to create communities and increase memberships. Increased membership will lead to increased web traffic and commerce opportunities that target the seventy billion dollar US gaming industry.

 

Distribution

 

We distribute our gaming lifestyle media programming through a variety of media platforms including, VOD, broadband/internet, satellite television, cable television, packaged media, and on our proprietary website. Through our dedicated channels of taped original television series, live pay per view events, mobile and internet content downloading, information segments and interactive content, the channel’s expanded programming will include popular poker programs, reality shows, game shows, documentaries, talk shows and special events surrounding the gaming lifestyle.

Broadband/Internet

 

Broadband/internet and mobile is the future, as consumers are tired of paying high cable and satellite bills and younger generations are spending the majority of their time on internet and mobile devices, millions of consumer are cutting their cable and satellite services and accessing their content through less expensive, new media devices connected to the internet.

 

Currently there are over 7 billion interconnected devices that served up 485 billion videos in 2014 and are expected to grow to 13 billion devices by the end of 2016. This shift in consumer habits is breaking down the barriers of entry in the content business and allowing producers and publishers to distribute directly to its targeted audiences through key word searches.

 

The Company is continuously seeking advertiser and sponsorship support with some premium content available to consumers for a fee. As brand awareness grows through advertising and major industry tie-ins, the Company will seek to become an aggregating portal for other gaming sites.

 

We intend to heavily market and cross-promote our website and are actively exploring additional relationships through social media networks. We also believe there is a great opportunity to provide content to, and share content with providers of other gaming, entertainment, and educational websites. We intend to use our website to develop gaming lifestyle communities, then offer the members of these communities live video events, information services, discounts, travel, internet based commerce, etc., as well as instant messaging, chat, comments, reviews and perspectives from consumers on a variety of topical subjects.

 

Mobile

 

The mobile apps market is continuing to grow and has become a part of global culture. All of our Channel Destinations will have a mobile extension to give our members access to features and benefits contained within each community. For example, our Vegas on Demand Channel will offer a mobile app that allows members to access “How to Play Blackjack/Craps/Roulette” videos, and offers of VIP Vegas access for our members.

 

Content/Programming

 

Players Network’s Real Vegas TV and Vegas on Demand programming brands include, (1) Players Network, which focuses on Gaming lifestyle and produces programming about horse racing, sports betting, casino games, poker and much more; (2) Vegas On Demand, which is about Las Vegas lifestyle and covers celebrity, night clubs, poolside experiences, entertainment and more; (3) Sexy Sin City TV, which covers the adult and sexy side of Las Vegas after dark.

Michael Berk has created over 500 hours of network television that includes five television series. Mr. Berk is best known for his series “Baywatch”, for which he was the Executive Producer for twelve years. Baywatch is distributed in 144 countries and is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most watched television show in history.

 

We have a library of 1,600 gambling and gaming lifestyle videos, including several new series of both long and short form content.

Our growing programming library presents long-term revenue opportunities in advertising, sponsorship, direct sales and product integration, domestic and international program sales, broadband syndication, subscription fees and increased home video sales.

 

Our Weed TV brand began developing original content as well as acquiring the rights to other Marijuana related programming that includes documentaries, cooking shows, concerts, travel shows, growing shows, medical shows, political shows, financial shows and more. We have produced over 100 original short video segments that are owned by the Company.

Strategy

 

Our goal is to leverage our enterprise platform to collaborate with industry experts and content producers in selected lifestyle and service fields in an effort to incubate digital business extensions with existing and new businesses by:

 

·Continuing to look for partnerships to build new branded lifestyle categories.

·In our flagship Vegas On Demand TV, harnessing the power of the media in order to provide customized media solutions and marketing services for key lifestyle category companies, principally major Las Vegas casino properties. Players Network uses its strong relationships in the gaming industry to lock in special trade relationships that can contribute to content, advertising, VIP services, and club amenities which will solidify Players Network’s credibility in the category;

Competition

 

Although we are unaware of any other company that is aimed exclusively at the gaming lifestyle market, we face intense competition from a variety of other companies that develop and distribute gaming lifestyle content, including (i) full service in-room providers, (ii) cable television companies, (ii) direct broadcast satellite services, (iv) television networks and programmers, such as ESPN, the Travel Channel, E!, the Food Network; (v) Internet service providers, (vi) broadband connectivity companies, and (vi) other telecommunications companies. In addition, our services compete for a viewer’s time and entertainment resources with other forms of entertainment.

 

As we expand and our users become more acclimated to social interaction and VOD, we believe that the whole world will be competing for the same viewers. Our advantage is that competition has driven users to our market and that the key to success will be to produce fresh content that is exclusive to our Channel Destinations and target markets.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have a library of over 1,050 gambling and gaming lifestyle videos. We own the intellectual property rights in the programming and content that we produce. Moreover, the slogans “Everybody wants to be a player” and “The only game in town” are registered trademarks of the Company with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”). The Company has received from the PTO the trademark for “Players Network” and for the service mark “Players Network”.

 

Governmental Approval and Regulation

 

Players Network does not believe that any governmental approvals are required to sell its products or services. The Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, governs the distribution of video programming by cable, satellite or over-the-air technology, through regulation by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). However, because Players Network’s video distribution systems do not use any public rights of way, they are not classified as cable systems and are subject to minimal regulation. Thus, the FCC does not directly regulate the programming provided by the Company.

 

Although the FCC generally does not directly regulate the services provided by Players Network, the regulation of video distribution and communications services is subject to the political process and has been in constant flux over the past decade. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated and there can be no assurance that Players Network’s business will not be adversely affected by future legislation or new regulations.

Research and Development

 

Players Network is constantly utilizing the latest technology to enhance our delivery platforms and the way we communicate with our customers. Although research and development costs are incorporated into our costs of operations on each project as it is developed, Players Network understands the importance of utilizing the latest available technology and constantly seeks to improve their delivery methods in today’s fast changing society. Part of the Company’s latest development efforts includes the implementation of social media marketing platforms to build communication and retention around our customers.

 

Seasonality

 

The amount of revenue realized by the Company each month is only affected slightly by the season for a variety of factors, that mainly include summer break, and holidays, when internet use increases.

 

Employees

 

We currently have two full time employees: our chief executive officer and our President of Programming. Our chief executive officer, Mark Bradley, is responsible for all material policy-making decisions and currently supports and operates our production and post-production operations, while Michael Berk, our President of Programming also supports and operates our production and post-production operations. Management will hire additional employees on an as needed basis. None of our employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreement or labor union contract, nor has the Company been subjected to any strikes or employment disruptions in its history. We are using, and intend to continue to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services when and as they are deemed necessary. We believe that the use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to contain general and administrative expenses.

 

In addition to fulltime employees, the Company has several outside consultants to cover needed support such as business affairs, programming and technology design and deployment supported by independent contractors on an as needed basis.

 

Office Locations

 

Our executive offices are located at 1771 E. Flamingo Road, #201-A, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Our office space consists of approximately 2,800 square feet leased pursuant to a 3-year operating lease expiring August 31, 2016. The lease provides for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined annual increases beginning with monthly payments of $3,080 and culminating in a monthly payment of $3,191 in 2016. The lease contains provisions for future rent increases and rent free periods for the first two months of the lease.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. Please note that throughout this prospectus, the words “we”, “our” or “us” refer to the Company and its subsidiary not to the selling stockholders.

 

In addition to the other information in this Annual Report, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business.

 

Risks Related To Our Company

 

We have had a history of losses, we expect losses in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will become profitable in the future.

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16, 1993. Since inception, we have experienced operating losses on an on-going basis. For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred net losses of $3,280,646. As of such date, we had an accumulated deficit of $26,848,642. We expect our losses to continue for the foreseeable future. These continuing losses may be greater than current levels. If our revenues do not increase substantially or if our expenses exceed our expectations, we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

 

Our auditor has given us a "going concern" qualification, which questions our ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.

 

Our independent certified public accountant has added an emphasis paragraph to its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Key to this determination is our recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. Management plans to try to increase sales and improve operating results through the expansion of the distribution channels of our programming with a view to increasing advertising and sponsorship revenues. Management believes that funds generated from operations will not be sufficient to cover cash needs in the foreseeable future, and we will continue to rely on expected increased revenues and private equity to cover our cash needs, although there can be no assurance in this regard. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation.

 

We need additional capital in the future to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.

 

We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next 12 months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. We currently have an outstanding financing agreement that enables the Company to draw additional proceeds of $320,000 at the discretion of the lender, along with an outstanding investment agreement that permits us to “put” up to $8,500,000 in shares of common stock. There are no assurances that we will be able to draw on these funds, or obtain adequate financing. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require substantially increasing revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control. The expected operating losses, coupled with a lack of liquidity, raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. For more information about our capital needs and abilities, see "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION - OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK - Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein.

At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a possibility of losing their investment.

 

Because the nature of our business is expected to change as a result of shifts in market conditions, competition, and the development of new and improved technology, management forecasts are not necessarily indicative of future operations and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. While management believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are within the timetable of its business plan, our actual results may differ substantially from those that are currently anticipated.

 

If we are unable to retain the services of Messrs. Bradley or Berk, or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business, we may not be able to continue our operations.

 

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Mr. Mark Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Michael Berk, our President of Programming. Loss of the services of Messrs. Bradley or Berk could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon (among other things) successfully recruiting qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

 

Our current management resources may not be sufficient for the future, and we have no assurance that we can attract additional qualified personnel.

 

There can be no assurance that the current level of management is sufficient to perform all responsibilities necessary or beneficial for management to perform. Our success in attracting additional qualified personnel will depend on many factors, including our ability to provide them with competitive compensation arrangements, equity participation and other benefits. There is no assurance that (if we need to) we will be successful in attracting highly qualified individuals in key management positions.

 

Limitations on claims against our officers and directors, and our obligation to indemnify them, could prevent our recovery for losses caused by them.

 

The corporation law of Nevada allows a Nevada corporation to limit the liability of its directors to the corporation and its stockholders to a certain extent, and our Articles of Incorporation have eliminated our directors’ and officers’ personal liability for damages for breaches of fiduciary duty but do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director officer for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of applicable law. The corporation law of Nevada allows a Nevada corporation to indemnify each director, officer, agent and/or employee to the extent that certain standards are met. Further, we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not we have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. Consequently, because of the actions or omissions of officers, directors, agents and employees, we could incur substantial losses and be prevented from recovering such losses from such persons. Further, the Commission maintains that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against the public policy expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Officers and Directors own a large percentage of our outstanding stock, and cumulative voting is not available to stockholders.

 

Our current Officers and Directors currently own (directly or indirectly) approximately 28.7% of our outstanding common stock and 100% of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on stockholder matters and each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 25 votes on stockholder matters. Cumulative voting is not provided for in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holder or holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of voting stock may elect all of our directors. Management's large percentage ownership of our outstanding common stock helps enable them to maintain their positions as such and thus control of our business and affairs.

 

We may experience rapid growth, and in such case we will need to manage this growth effectively.

 

We believe that, given the right business opportunities, we may expand our operations rapidly and significantly. If rapid growth were to occur, it could place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. To manage any significant growth of our operations, we will be required to undertake the following successfully:

 

·Manage relationships with various strategic partners and other third parties;
·Hire and retain skilled personnel necessary to support our business;
·Train and manage a growing employee base; and
·Continually develop our financial and information management systems.

 

10
 

 

If we fail to make adequate allowances for the costs and risks associated with this expansion or if our systems, procedures or controls are not adequate to support our operations, our business could be harmed. Our inability to manage growth effectively could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related To Our Cannabis Business

 

Our business is dependent on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry.

 

As of December 31, 2014, twenty-three states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally, Colorado and Washington have legalized cannabis for adult use and, on November 4, 2014, Oregon, Washington DC, and Alaska voted to approve legalization of recreational marijuana. Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of cannabis at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress in the cannabis industry, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use of cannabis, which would negatively impact our business.

 

Cannabis remains illegal under federal law and a change in federal enforcement practices could significantly and negatively affect our cannabis cultivation and production business.

 

Despite the development of a cannabis industry legal under state laws, state laws legalizing medicinal and adult cannabis use are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as a schedule-I controlled substance and makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes, and thus Federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use. However, the Obama Administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct Federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis. Yet, there is no guarantee that the Obama Administration will not change its stated policy regarding the low-priority enforcement of Federal laws in states where cannabis has been legalized. Additionally, we face another presidential election cycle in 2016, and a new administration could introduce a less favorable policy or decide to enforce the Federal laws strongly. Any such change in the Federal government’s enforcement of Federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us and our shareholders.

 

As the possession and use of cannabis is illegal under the federal controlled substances act, we may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that we provide to users. As a result, we may be subject to enforcement actions by law enforcement authorities, which would materially and adversely affect our business.

 

Under Federal law, and more specifically the Federal Controlled Substances Act, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis is illegal. Our new business plan provides cultivation and production services to customers that are engaged in the business of possession, use, and/or transfer of cannabis. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illegal use of cannabis, may seek to bring an action or actions against us, including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The Federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” 18 U.S.C. §2(a). As a result of such an action, we may be forced to cease operations and our investors could lose their entire investment. Such an action would have a material negative effect on our business and operations.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis and marijuana industries are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our business, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us.

 

Local, state and federal cannabis laws and regulations are constantly changing and they are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our service offerings. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and financial condition. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. Any change in law or interpretation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Expansion by well-established cultivation and production companies into the cannabis industry could prevent us from realizing anticipated growth in customers and revenues.

 

Established dispensary companies may expand their businesses into cannabis cultivation and production. If they decided to expand into cultivation and production, this could hurt the growth of our business and cause our revenues to be lower than we expect.

 

11
 

 

Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as workers compensation, general liability, and directors and officers insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Participants in the cannabis industry may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for us to operate.

 

Despite recent rules issued by the United States Department of the Treasury mitigating the risk to banks that do business with cannabis companies permitted under state law, as well as recent guidance from the United States Department of Justice, banks remain wary to accept funds from businesses in the cannabis industry. Since the use of cannabis remains illegal under Federal law, there remains a compelling argument that banks may be in violation of Federal law when accepting for deposit, funds derived from the sale or distribution of cannabis. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to have trouble establishing banking relationships. An inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for us, or some of our customers, to do business.

 

Risks Related To Our Media Business

 

Our business is speculative (among other reasons) because our revenues are derived from the acceptance of our programming and the timely expansion to new media distribution, which is difficult to predict, and our failure to develop appealing programming would probably materially adversely affect us.

 

Our programming is the key to our success. It represents the catalyst for generating our revenues, and is subject to a number of uncertainties. Our success depends on the quality of our programming and the quality of other programming released into marketplace at or near the same time as ours, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. There can be no assurance that our current or future programming will appeal to consumer or persons who would pay to broadcast it. Any failure to develop appealing programming would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

There are various risks associated with our proprietary rights.

 

No patent protection. We have no proprietary technology, and accordingly, have no patents. We intend to rely on a combination of copyright and trade secret protection and nondisclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information, products or technology without authorization, to imitate our programming, or to develop similar or superior programming or ideas independently. Imitation of our programming, the creation of similar or superior programming, or the infringement of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our programming or otherwise adversely affect our potential for revenue. Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property will be difficult and expensive. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We cannot provide any assurances that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our confidentiality or other protective agreements will be enforceable.

 

Enforcing our proprietary rights may require litigation. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to protect our copyrights, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Others may assert infringement claims against us. One of the risks of our business is the possibility of claims that our productions infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties with respect to previously developed content. In addition, our technology and software may be subject to patent, copyright or other intellectual property claims of third parties. We could receive in the future claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted or prosecuted against us, or that any assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we would incur significant costs and diversion of resources with respect to the defense thereof, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. We cannot provide any assurances, however, that under such circumstances a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all.

 

12
 

 

We may be adversely affected by changing consumer preferences

 

Gambling and new media appears to have become more accepted by and popular with many more persons in recent years. However, the gambling industry is subject to shifting consumer preferences and perceptions. A dramatic shift in consumer acceptance or interest in gaming could materially adversely affect us. We are also dependent on consumers becoming acclimated to using new media by watching video over the internet and on VOD television platforms.

 

We will rely on a number of third parties, and such reliance exposes us to a number of risks.

 

Our operations will depend on a number of third parties. We will have limited control over these third parties. We will probably not have many long-term agreements with many of them. We rely upon a number of third parties to carry our programming, and we will need to expand in the future the number of third parties doing this on our behalf. There can be no assurance that existing such agreements will not be terminated or that they will be renewed in the future on terms acceptable to us, or that we will be able to enter into additional such agreements. Our inability to preserve and expand the channels for distributing our programming would likely materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also will rely on a variety of technology that we will license from third parties. Our loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to any of these technology licenses could result in delays. These delays could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. Moreover, we occasionally use third parties in connection with our production work and work on our Web site. In addition, we do not own a gateway onto the Internet. Instead, we now and presumably always will rely on a network operating center to connect our Web site to the Internet. Overall, our inability to maintain satisfactory relationships with the requisite third parties on acceptable commercial terms, or the failure of such third parties to maintain the quality of services they provide at a satisfactory standard, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We could be materially adversely affected by future regulatory changes applicable to our business.

 

We do not believe that any governmental approvals are required to sell our products or services, and that we are not currently subject to significant regulation by any government agency in the United States, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to our business in the future. Such legislation could dampen or increase the cost of our business. Such a development could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Competition in our industry is moderate. We are very small and have a limited operating history although compared to the vast majority of our competitors we are more experienced.

 

We intend to compete with major and independent providers of content to the Broadband and VOD television the majority of our anticipated competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. In addition, larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. These competitors may be able to pay more for technology upgrades and marketing. In addition, some of our competitors have been operating in our core areas for a much longer time than we have and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.

 

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

 

We have both the obligation and the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock, and the issuance of such additional shares of common and preferred stock may depress the price of our common stock.

 

We have both the ability as well as outstanding obligations to issue additional shares of common stock in the future. These include the following:

 

·Our Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan allows us to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock and options. We currently have 18,785,000 shares of our common stock available for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan;
·There are 25,859,565 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to common stock options and warrants outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report;
·There are 6,349,339 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of 2,000,000 shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and 4,349,339 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock
·There are 10,404,883 shares of Series B Preferred Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to an outstanding Series B Preferred Stock Warrant. These shares of Series B Preferred Stock, if issued, will be convertible into 10,404,883 shares of common stock.
13
 

 

·There are 80,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of convertible notes payable held by Asher Enterprises.
·There are 57,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of a convertible note payable agreement with JMJ Financial that enables us to draw total net proceeds of $400,000, of which we have drawn a total of $120,000 as of the date of this Annual Report and have an additional $280,000 available.
·There are 6,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of convertible notes payable held by GEL Properties, LLC.
·There are 6,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of convertible notes payable held by LG Capital Funding, LLC.
·We have an Equity Line Financing facility that we may draw on from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP. The Investment Agreement permits us to “put” up to an aggregate of $8,500,000 in shares of Common Stock to Dutchess during a 36 month period ending on September 26, 2016.

 

The options described above will permit the holders to purchase shares of common stock at specified prices. These purchase prices may be less than the then current market price of our common stock. Any shares of common stock issued pursuant to these options would further dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the life of these options may be adversely affected because of such potential dilution. Finally, we may issue additional shares in the future other than as listed above. There are no preemptive rights in connection with our common stock. Thus, the percentage ownership of existing stockholders may be diluted if we issue additional shares in the future. For grants of options, our Board of Directors will determine the timing and size of the grants and the consideration or services required. Our Board of Directors intends to use its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any such grant. Nonetheless, future issuances of additional shares pursuant to options granted could cause immediate and substantial dilution to the net tangible book value of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately before such transaction. Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of such issued and outstanding shares could materially and adversely affect the market value of the shares.

 

We may issue additional stock without shareholder consent.

 

Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of our authorized but unissued shares. Additional shares may be issued in connection with future financing, acquisitions, employee stock plans, or otherwise. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of existing shareholders. The Board, from the authorized capital of 25,000,000 preferred shares, has authorized and designated 2,000,000 shares of Series A and 10,873,347 shares of Series B preferred stock, of which 2,000,000 shares and 4,349,339 shares are issued and outstanding, respectively. The board of directors can issue preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without shareholder approval. Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company, even if doing so would benefit our shareholders. Such issuance could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could hinder our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

14
 

 

The trading price of our common stock may entail additional regulatory requirements, which may negatively affect such trading price.

 

The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be below $5.00 per share. As a result of this price level, trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades generally involving any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such rules require the delivery, before any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must determine the suitability of the penny stock for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction before sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock. As a consequence, the market liquidity of our common stock could be severely affected or limited by these regulatory requirements.

 

Because our board of directors does not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders may have to sell their shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment in the company.

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. To date, we have paid no dividends. Our Board of Directors does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. Accordingly, a return on an investment in shares of our common stock may be realized only through a sale of such shares, if at all.

 

We have issued convertible notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to market.

 

A total of $775,047 in convertible notes is outstanding as of March 31, 2015, and is convertible at various prices discounted to market as depicted in the table below. As a result, any conversion of the Convertible Notes and sale of shares of common stock issuable in connection with the conversion thereof will likely cause the value of our common stock, if any, to decline in value, as described in greater detail under the Risk Factors below.

The issuance and sale of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As sequential conversions of the convertible notes and sales of such converted shares take place, the price of our common stock may decline, and as a result, the holder of the convertible notes will be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares in connection with its conversions, which shares could then be sold in the market, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, to the detriment of our investors. The shares of common stock which the convertible notes are convertible into may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144. As a result, the sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock.

 

In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company's stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company's stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. The various Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of our common stock at conversion terms as depicted in the table above, and such discounts to market provide the holders with the ability to sell their common stock at or below market and still make a profit. In the event of such overhang, the note holder will have an incentive to sell their common stock as quickly as possible. If the share volume of our common stock (which to date has been very limited) cannot absorb the discounted shares, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will cause immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the holder of the convertible notes may ultimately receive and sell the full amount of shares issuable in connection with the conversion of such convertible notes. Although the convertible notes s may not be converted if such conversion would cause the holder thereof to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock (subject to 61 days written notice of such holder’s intent to waive such restriction), this restriction does not prevent the holder of the Convertible Notes from converting some of its holdings, selling those shares, and then converting the rest of its holdings, while still staying below the 4.99% limit. In this way, the holder of the Convertible Notes could sell more than this limit while never actually holding more shares than this limit allows. If the holder of the Convertible Notes chooses to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock.

 

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our convertible notes could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

Our existing stockholders will experience substantial dilution of their investment upon conversion of the convertible notes. The convertible notes are convertible into shares of common stock at conversion prices as noted in the above table. As a result, the number of shares issuable could prove to be significantly greater in the event of a decrease in the trading price of our common stock, which decrease would cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. As sequential conversions and sales take place, the price of our common stock may decline, and if so, the holder of the convertible notes would be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares, which could then be sold, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, which would cause additional dilution to our existing stockholders and would likely cause the value of our common stock to decline.

 

19
 

 

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our Convertible Notes may encourage the holder of the Convertible Notes to sell short our common stock, which could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.

 

The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at conversion prices as noted in the above table. The significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the holder of the convertible notes converts and sells material amounts of our common stock could encourage investors to short sell our common stock. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion of the convertible notes, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our common stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

 

Our common stock has historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded” on the OTCQB, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or nonexistent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.

 

As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a mature issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. It is possible that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will not develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will continue.

 

Shares eligible for future sale by our current stockholders may adversely affect our stock price.

 

To date, we have had very limited trading volume in our common stock. As long as this condition continues, the sale of a significant number of shares of common stock at any particular time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144 or otherwise could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital at that time through the sale of our securities.

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB, which would limit the ability of Broker-Dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Companies trading on the OTCQB, such as the Company, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Risks Related to the Offering of Common Stock to Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP

 

Existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP Investment Agreement.

 

On November 7, 2012, we entered into an Investment Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP (“Dutchess”) in order to establish a possible source of funding for us. Under the Investment Agreement, Dutchess has agreed to provide us with up to $8,500,000 of funding.

 

20
 

 

We can deliver a put under the Investment Agreement by selling shares of our common stock to Dutchess and Dutchess is obligated to purchase the shares. A put transaction must close before we can deliver another put notice to Dutchess. We may request a put by sending a put notice to Dutchess, stating the amount of the put. During the four trading days following a notice, we will calculate the amount of shares we will sell to Dutchess and the purchase price per share. The number of shares of our common stock that Dutchess shall purchase pursuant to each put notice shall be determined by dividing the amount of the put by the purchase price.

 

The sale of our common stock to Dutchess under the Investment Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Dutchess in order to exercise a put under the Investment Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised under the Investment Agreement.

 

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.

 

The issuance of shares pursuant to the Dutchess Investment Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.

 

Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the Dutchess Investment Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. To date, we have not accepted any funds or delivered any Put notices under the Investment Agreement; thus, there is still eight million five hundred thousand dollars ($8,500,000) available. If we accept additional funding under the Investment Agreement by issuing additional puts, such action could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders.

 

Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our common stock to be issued to Dutchess under the Investment Agreement will be purchased at a 5% discount, or 95% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of our Common Stock during the four consecutive trading days immediately following the date the notice of our election to put shares pursuant to the Investment Agreement is delivered to Dutchess. The amount we may put will be equal to up to either 1) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of our Common Stock for the three Trading Days prior to the applicable put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing prices immediately preceding the put date or 2) $50,000.

 

Dutchess has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If Dutchess sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, Dutchess may have a further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Investment Agreements may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP has entered into similar agreements with other public companies and may not have sufficient capital to meet our put notices.

 

Dutchess has entered into similar investment agreements with other public companies, and some of those companies have filed registration statements with the intent of registering shares to be sold to Dutchess pursuant to investment agreements. We do not know if management at any of the companies who have or will have effective registration statements intend to raise funds now or in the future, what the size or frequency of each put request would be, if floors will be used to restrict the amount of shares sold, or if the investment agreement will ultimately be cancelled or expire before the entire amount of shares are put to Dutchess. Since we do not have any control over the requests of these other companies, if Dutchess receives significant requests, it may not have the financial ability to meet our requests. If so, the amount of available funds may be significantly less than we anticipate.

 

We have registered an aggregate of 22,750,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the Dutchess Investment Agreement. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

On September 26, 2013, we registered an aggregate of 22,750,000 shares of common stock under an S-1 registration statement. The sale of these shares into the public market by Dutchess could depress the market price of our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Overview and Outlook

 

Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Players Network is a vertically integrated diversified, fully reporting public company that is engaged in the development of digital networks, and is actively pursuing the cultivation and processing of medical marijuana in North Las Vegas pursuant to two medical marijuana establishments (MME) licenses we were granted by the city of North Las Vegas for cultivation and production. The Company holds an 81.4% interest in Green Leaf Farms Holdings, LLC, which is a holding company formed to house our medical marijuana business. We distribute broadband video and other social media content over a wide variety of internet enabled devices and cable television channels. The Company has launched its proprietary scalable NexGenTV technology platform. The platform is designed to deliver video content and develop digital social communities, including “Vegas On Demand TV”, “Real Vegas TV” and “Weed TV” on the media side of the business.

 

The Company operates a Video On Demand (“VOD”) television channel, also named Vegas On Demand, which consists of original programming that is distributed over its own VOD channels to approximately 23 million homes via a major cable company, and 80 million homes via the internet on the Over The Top Television platform, with distribution partners that include Blinkx, YouTube Video and other internet and various mobile platforms. Players Network has a seventeen-year history of providing consumers with quality ‘Gaming and Las Vegas Lifestyle’ video content.

 

We have developed NexGenTV, an innovative, proprietary Enterprise Web Platform that incorporates the best parts of Hulu, YouTube, Facebook, Zenga and Groupon. We believe it will change how businesses approach building digital brand extensions.

 

NexGenTV, our scalable Digital Technology Platform, allows Players Network to distribute content for brands, businesses and celebrities, and provide them with an unlimited amount of lifestyle category content and the tools to launch their own “Branded Channel, Social Community and Marketplace Destination”. NexGenTV’s scalability can create hundreds of niche digital networks that can be viewed worldwide on any smart TV, computer, tablet or mobile device by millions of people simultaneously. The platform allows advertisers and marketing partners the ability to capture their target market through rich content such as professionally produced, branded television segments; user-generated videos; blogs; editorials; tweets; photos; special offers; events and custom-designed contests.

 

Our business model incorporates elements of traditional proven media features such as advertising and transactional delivery methods, but also offers professional production, marketing and distribution services to build and monetize its branded channel destination, in which we will retain a continuous revenue stream with our partners. Channel partners have the option to manage their own Branded New Media Channel, or use our professional services team of television producers, writers, graphic designers and technologists to keep their channel updated, and their content fresh and relevant.

 

Vegas On Demand TV, Real Vegas TV and Weed TV are the Company’s first three channel offerings that provide their audience the ability to connect to industry insiders and businesses through unique, high-quality marketing, content production and content management system. In the Las Vegas market, Vegas On Demand captures the excitement, sex appeal, entertainment, and the non-stop adrenaline rush of the Las Vegas gaming lifestyle. Our content goes beyond poker, casino action, sports betting, and racing, to lifestyle programs about entertainment and fine living that attract young and sophisticated viewers that comprise the major digital media demographic. Whenever possible, our content will incorporate an expert, insider or celebrity within the Vegas community in order to enhance promotional merchandising to prospective customers.

 

Weed TV launched on April 20, 2014, and was the Company’s third network to be launched. Weed TV is a Lifestyle Channel Destination powered by PNTV’s NextGenTV(SM) enterprise platform. Weed TV is the ‘go to’ source for informational entertainment, products and services for people who relate to the marijuana lifestyle and social community. Weed TV will feature daily stories sourced by weedtv.com correspondents and contributors from around the world. It will provide a wide variety of editorial content, videos and entertainment, including lead stories, political news, business news on the industry, financial analysis from industry experts, growing tips, cooking tips, a “Weed101” section, medical uses, lifestyle features, entertainment specials and merchandise shopping cart offering the latest products and services. www.weedtv.com

 

We plan for Weed TV to have other features by the middle of 2015 and adapt new technology that he other networks don’t have, including a directory of businesses that cater to the marijuana business, such as dispensaries, smoke shops, doctors, financial institutions, manufactures and more. These businesses will have a free basic listing and the ability to upgrade for an extra fee of about $500 per month, where they can build their own media channel using the ‘NextGenTV” Platform. We estimate this market is in excess of approximately 70,000 businesses and will continue to grow as more states legalize MME businesses. Our goal in 2015 is to begin to capture this market that will translate to significant revenues even if we only convert a small amount of this market into marketing partners who use our platform.

 

25
 

 

We plan to use both, Weed TV’s platform and original branded programming and events, as a means to develop additional revenue streams, in addition to providing marketing and membership benefits of our social media platform. These revenue streams include branded entertainment, sponsorships for events, media placement, third party commissions for video and banner advertisements, merchandise and production sales and services.

 

We have addressed the digital market in an effort to grow as a New Media Company using “Vegas On Demand” and Real Vegas TV, our flagship branded television channel, and to use our scalable custom enterprise web platform, which can also be replicated to launch thousands of channel destinations in any lifestyle category for any lifestyle brand.

 

Our enterprise platform is highly scalable and can efficiently deploy, manage and distribute videos with integrated revenue-generating tools that go beyond traditional advertising. On our platform, the viewer of a video is brought into a web environment encompassing the lifestyle represented within the video content where they are presented with membership, merchandising, couponing, subscription, loyalty programs, contest and other marketing opportunities, including the integration of live events. The platform also integrates branded sponsorships, and a game-like virtual economy supported by our Cost Per Action (“CPA”) advertising network.

 

Our next-generation media network operates across all distribution platforms from TV screens to mobile devices, gaming consoles, computers and tablets. We have positioned ourselves to provide companies an affordable, turnkey, integrated solution. We have not yet generated revenues from our Platform, but plan to market our services to companies in 2015.

 

Through the cross-promotional integration of sponsored live events, contests and media creation and distribution, our Platform can deliver a targeted audience that can be monetized in multiple ways. The platform is an engine that grows as audience and page views increase. The platform also provides a self-perpetuating aggregation juncture where Las Vegas businesses and “insiders” can connect socially with their audience/customer.

 

The ability to monetize video in so many ways, coupled with an efficient, easy-to-use technical and administrative back-end dashboard is a powerful feature of our platform. It allows the creation of unlimited, new channel destinations using our scalable content management system (“CMS”) framework, with cost-competitive operations. Importantly, it enables administrative and editorial level employees to manage content without the expense of having a full-time technical engineering staff in-house.

 

Premium members must be industry insiders and/or experts in their lifestyle category. For example, with regard to Vegas On Demand, insiders are designed to be the who’s-who of Vegas: entertainers, nightclub promoters, casino hosts, famous chefs, etc. who offer our members deals on transactions connected to their sphere of influence. Deals may include being invited to a special VIP event, line passes, two-for-one offers, pay-per-view video discounts, etc.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. In addition, the Company had debt instruments that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

PNTV maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We generate the majority of our revenues and corresponding accounts receivable from video production services on a project basis and subscriptions for video content. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. We had no debts expense during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Cost Method of Accounting for Investments

Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such Investee companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. However, impairment charges are recognized in the Statement of Operations. If circumstances suggest that the value of the Investee Company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded. Our investments which are accounted for on the cost method of accounting have been completely impaired previously, and no impairment expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

Deferred Television Costs

Deferred television costs included direct production and development costs stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on anticipated revenue. Production overhead is not included as the Company outsources its production costs to third party vendors. Capitalized television production costs for each pilot episode are to be expensed as revenues are recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the completed pilot episodes using the individual-film-forecast-computation method for each television show produced. The Company recognized $95,000 of revenues on November 1, 2012 with the completion of the first of three pilot episodes; and accordingly, recognized $75,617 of expenses related to the development of the pilot. The remaining $135,000 of revenues, and corresponding $116,454 of deferred television costs, were deferred and will be recognized upon completion and delivery of the remaining content. We also delivered a series of ‘webisodes’ and miscellaneous footage in June of 2014, however, the recipient refused to accept the modification of the terms and we had to reverse the recognition and defer the revenue and related television costs as of December 31, 2014.

 

Deferred television costs consist of the following at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

 

   December 31,
2014
   December 31, 2013 
Development and pre-production costs  $   $ 
In-production

Post production   

48,190

    48,190 
Total deferred television costs  $

116,454

   $116,454 

 

Due to practical limitations applicable to monetizing our developed content over On-Demand networks, the Company has not considered collectability of advertising or television license revenues to be reasonably assured, and accordingly, the Company has expensed production costs related to the development of our On-Demand and internet-based content as incurred.

 

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:

 

Software   3 years 
Office equipment and website development costs   5 years 
Furniture and fixtures   7 years 

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which have extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on the disposal of fixed assets during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs relating to obtaining certain debts are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company paid $21,750 and $11,000 of debt issuance costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which the unamortized balance of debt issuance costs at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $9,959 and $3,399, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs charged to interest expense was $15,190 and $37,556 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to interest expense.

 

Deferred Rent Obligation

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate office which contains provisions for future rent increases. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease terms. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to “Deferred rent obligation,” which is reflected as a separate line item in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its internet television platform from internally generated products and from partnered merchants when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are met when the customers purchase a product or access a web-based video, the product or web-based video has been electronically delivered to the purchaser and payment has been received. At that time, the Company's obligations to the customer is substantially complete. The Company records the net amount it retains from the sale of items from its internet television platform after paying any agreed upon percentage of the purchase price to the featured advertising merchant excluding any applicable taxes. Revenue is recorded on a net basis because the Company is acting as an agent of the partnered merchant in the transaction. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Network revenue consists of monthly network broadcast subscription revenue, which is recognized over the period in which the subscription service is available. Broadcast television advertising revenue is recognized when advertisements are aired. Video production revenue is recognized as digital video film is completed and accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from the distribution of domestic television series is recognized as earned using the following criteria:

 

·Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·The show/episode is complete, and in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;
·The license period has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;
·The price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and
·Collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Due to practical limitations applicable to operating relationships with On-Demand networks, the Company has not considered collectability of advertising or television license revenues to be reasonably assured, and accordingly, the Company has not recognize such revenue unless payment has been received.

 

Audio/Video content licensing revenues were recognized when the underlying royalties from the sales of the related products were earned. The Company recognized minimum revenue guarantees, if any, ratably over the term of the license or as earned royalties based on actual sales of the related products, if greater.

 

Deferred revenues consist of the following at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
         
Deferred revenues on television pilot episodes  $135,000   $135,000

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Note and tainted Warrant), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

 

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising and promotions expense was $147,145 and $11,684 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Website Development Costs

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs” (“ASC 350-50”), wherein website development costs are segregated into three activities:

 

  1) Initial stage (planning), whereby the related costs are expensed.
  2) Development (web application, infrastructure, graphics), whereby the related costs are capitalized and amortized once the website is ready for use. Costs for development content of the website may be expensed or capitalized depending on the circumstances of the expenditures.
  3) Post-implementation (after site is up and running: security, training, admin), whereby the related costs are expensed as incurred. Upgrades are usually expensed, unless they add additional functionality.

 

The Company had no capitalized website development costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 related to its internet television platforms pursuant to the development stage.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2014 and 2013, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Stock and stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $1,755,336 and $449,667 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

PNTV recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. PNTV provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

29
 

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

 

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Revenues:

 

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we received revenues from the sale of in-home media, advertising fees and the recognition of deferred revenues on content development. Aggregate revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $9,347, compared to revenues of $1,567 in the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase in revenues of $7,780, or 496%. Our revenues increased primarily due to the recognition of a total of $8,450 from the first sales of advertising on our new media channel, “Weed.tv” within our internet platform. We anticipate increased market saturation of our video content through our newly revamped websites and the Company’s existing media channels as we continue to market our internet platform into 2015.

 

Direct Operating Costs:

 

Direct operating costs were $256,445 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $109,966 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $146,479, or 133%. Our direct operating costs increased primarily due to our increased website development costs as we continued to develop our new media channel, Weed.tv media channel, which was launched during April of 2014.

 

General and Administrative:

 

General and administrative expenses were $1,745,417 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $320,750 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1,424,667, or 444%. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to $960,000 of stock based compensation in our newly formed subsidiary pursuant to the issuance common stock in our subsidiary for services performed in relation to our medical marijuana endeavors incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The fair value of the stock based compensation was determined by the sale of 1% of the equity in the subsidiary to an independent third party.

 

Salaries and Wages:

 

Salaries and wages expense totaled $544,472 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $258,685 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $285,787, or 110%. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to non-cash, stock based compensation bonuses issued to our CEO during the year ended December 31, 2014, consisting of 4 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $120,000, and 8 million common stock options valued at $217,971, that were not present during the comparative year ended December 31, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization:

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was $27,474 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $22,945 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $4,529, or 20%. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to additional depreciation on a total of $35,986 of fixed asset additions incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Net Operating Loss:

 

Net operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,564,461, or ($0.02) per share compared to a net operating loss of $710,779, or ($0.01) per share for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1,853,682, or 261%. Net operating loss increased primarily due to $960,000 of stock based compensation in our newly formed subsidiary pursuant to the issuance of common stock in our subsidiary for services performed in relation to our medical marijuana endeavors, compensation bonuses issued to our CEO, increased advertising and promotional fees and professional services, consisting primarily of non-cash, stock based compensation. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we issued a total of 4 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $120,000, and 8 million common stock options valued at $217,971 to our CEO as a bonus, along with 11,799,728 shares of common stock valued at $312,641 and the amortization of options valued at $40,150 in payment of professional services in lieu of cash.

 

Other Income (Expense):

 

Other income (expense) was $(901,414) for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $(998,323) for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $96,909, or 10%. Other income (expense) decreased on a net basis primarily due to the gain of $356,835 on debt extinguishments that was realized primarily with the settlement of $353,720 of accounts payable in exchange for total payments of $10,385 during the year ended December 31, 2014, as diminished by an increase of $254,003 due to the change in derivative liability during the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Net Loss:

 

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $3,465,875, or ($0.02) per share, compared to a net loss of $1,709,102, or ($0.02) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increased net loss of $1,756,773, or 103%. Net loss increased primarily due to $960,000 of stock based compensation in our newly formed subsidiary pursuant to the issuance common stock in our subsidiary for services performed in relation to our medical marijuana endeavors, and to the $254,003 increase in our change in derivative liability, increased advertising and compensation, consisting primarily of non-cash, stock based compensation, as diminished by the gain of $356,835 on debt settlements incurred during year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from convertible debt financing, private sales of our common stock, and revenues from operations. At December 31, 2014, we had a negative working capital position of $(1,868,948). As we continue the shift in our business focus and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through debt borrowings and common stock offerings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next twelve months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We expect that the additional financing will (if available) take the form of convertible debt financing, although we may be able to obtain additional equity financing in lieu thereof. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. We currently have an Investment Agreement with Dutchess whereby they committed to purchase, in a series of purchase transactions (“Puts”), up to eight million five hundred thousand ($8,500,000) dollars of the Company’s common stock over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months from September 26, 2013. There are no assurances that we will be able to draw on these funds, or obtain adequate financing. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require substantially increasing revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels, or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control.

 

Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants

 

On March 11, 2015, the Company received net proceeds of $70,000 in exchange for a 12% interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note dated March 2, 2015 with a face value of $75,000 (“First JSJ Note”), which matures on September 2, 2015. The principal and interest is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to the lesser of: (i) 58% of the average of the two (2) lowest closing prices over the 10 days prior to conversion; or (ii) 58% of the average of the two (2) lowest closing prices over the 10 days prior to the execution of the note (which was $0.008932). The note includes prepayment cash redemption penalties between 25% and 40% of outstanding principal and interest, and the debt holder is limited to owning 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The Company must at all times reserve at least 30 million shares of common stock for potential conversions.

i.If the market capitalization of the Borrower is less than Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) on the day immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Conversion, then the Conversion Price shall be twenty-five percent (25%) multiplied by the Lowest Closing Price as of the date a Notice of Conversion is given (which represents a discount rate of seventy-five percent (75%)); and
ii.If the closing price of the Borrower’s Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Conversion is less than .001 then the Conversion Price shall be twenty-five percent (25%) multiplied by the Lowest Closing Price as of the date a Notice of Conversion is given (which represents a discount rate of seventy-five percent (75%)).

We have utilized these funds to repay $66,605 of previously issued convertible debentures, comply with our regulatory reporting requirements, and to expand our media distribution platforms to launch Weed.tv. Although our revenues are expected to grow as we expand our operations, our revenues are not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months, and we do not have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions in our industry, effectively monitor and manage our claims for payments that are owed to us, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

To conserve on the Company's capital requirements, the Company has issued shares in lieu of cash payments to outside consultants, and the Company expects to continue this practice. In the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted a total of 14,076,361 shares of common stock valued at $433,742 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants, compared to the issuance of 25,619,637 shares of common stock valued at $449,667 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is not now in a position to determine an approximate number of shares that the Company may issue for the preceding purpose in the remainder of 2015.

 

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

 

As of December 31, 2014, our cash on hand was $207,167. We believe we cannot satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash on hand. Our operations are subject to attaining adequate financing. We cannot assure investors that adequate financing will be available. In the absence of such financing, we may be unable to proceed with our operations.

 

We anticipate that our operational, and general & administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total approximately $3,000,000, of which we expect a portion will be satisfied with the issuance of stock based compensation in lieu of cash. We anticipate the purchase of a significant amount of equipment necessary to implement our medical marijuana operations. Should we be able to commence operations pursuant to our plans to enter into the medical marijuana business, we will also need to either, purchase or lease, a warehouse facility to produce marijuana pursuant to the license we were awarded by the City of North Las Vegas. We also would expect a significant addition to the number of employees. We have not yet begun to develop a facility to commence our medical marijuana operations, and are not now in a position to determine an approximate amount that would be necessary. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our planned operations. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months, in addition to our revenues from our Enterprise Technology Platform, is through convertible debt financing, the sale of shares of our common stock, third party financing, and/or traditional debt financing. We may continue to pay for services with shares of common stock in lieu of cash if financing is unavailable.

 

In the event we are not successful in obtaining financing, we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the commercialization of our products and further research and development of new products. We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who are one in the same, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who are one in the same, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

36
 

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who are one in the same, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is one in the same, has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Furthermore, smaller reporting companies may face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies often employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies may utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

 

1.As of December 31, 2014, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

2.As of December 31, 2014, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Independent Registered Accountant’s Internal Control Attestation

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Limitation of Liability of Directors

 

Pursuant to the Nevada General Corporation Law, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any Director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. We have agreed to indemnify our directors against expenses, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a Director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in our best interests.

 

Election of Directors and Officers

 

Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

 

No Executive Officer or Director of the Corporation has been the subject of any Order, Judgment, or Decree of any Court of competent jurisdiction, or any regulatory agency permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting him from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in the securities industry; or, as an affiliated person, director or employee of an investment company, bank, savings and loan association; also, an insurance company or from engaging in, or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any securities.

 

No Executive Officer or Director of the Corporation has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations) or is the subject of a criminal proceeding, which is currently pending.

 

No Executive Officer or Director of the Corporation is the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, we believe that during 2014 our Directors and executive officers did not comply with all Section 16(a) filing requirements. Specifically, Mr. Berk and Mr. Miller failed to file Form 4’s with respect to the issuance of common shares for 2014. Mr. Bradley also failed to file Form 4’s with respect to the issuance of common stock and common stock options that were granted during 2014.

 

To the Company’s knowledge, the following is a list of individuals that have not filed, or filed late, a report reflecting a change in ownership as required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934:

 

Name of Individual   Number of Late Reports   Number of Transactions that Were Not Timely Reported
         
Mark Bradley   3   3
         
Michael Berk   1   1
         
Doug Miller   1   1

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have an Audit Committee, our board of directors acted as the Company's Audit Committee during fiscal 2013, recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors' independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

 

Our board of directors has determined that if we were required to have a financial expert and/or an audit committee, Doug Miller, a Director, would be considered an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by applicable Commission rules and regulations. Based on the definition of “independent” applicable to audit committee members of Nasdaq-traded companies, our board of directors has further determined that Mr. Miller is considered to be “independent.”

Nominating Committee

 

We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our board of directors performed some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that we are continuously updating our operations and have limited resources with which to establish additional committees of our board of directors.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor have our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. In the event that we receive a stockholder recommendation for a director nominee, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

Compensation Committee

 

At this time, Mr. Miller is the only member of the committee and has performed in his role by reviewing our employment agreements with Mr. Bradley and Mr. Berk. The board of directors intends to add additional members to the compensation committee and expects it to consist of solely of independent members. Until more members are appointed to the compensation committee, our entire board of directors will review all forms of compensation provided to any new executive officers, directors, consultants and employees, including stock compensation and options.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

 

The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on March 31, 2015, held by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes (unless footnoted) shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after March 31, 2015 through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each listed stockholder is c/o Players Network, 1771 E. Flamingo Road, #201-A, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

For each named person, this percentage includes Common Stock that the person has the right to acquire either currently or within 60 days of March 31, 2015, including through the exercise of an option; however, such Common Stock is not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage owned by any other person.
(3)Percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

Director Independence

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB. As such, we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which require, among other things, that the majority of the board of directors be independent. We are not currently subject to corporate governance standards defining the independence of our directors, and we have chosen to define an “independent” director in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements for independent directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Miller is “independent” in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements.

 

Our Board of Directors will review at least annually the independence of each director. During these reviews, our Board of Directors will consider transactions and relationships between each director (and his or her immediate family and affiliates) and us and our management to determine whether any such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the director was independent. The Board of Directors will conduct its annual review of director independence and to determine if any transactions or relationships exist that would disqualify any of the individuals who then served as a director under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, or require disclosure under SEC rules.

 

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

 

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued for the audit and other services provided by our independent auditors for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

   For the Years Ended 
   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Audit fees:  $33,500   $34,000 
Audit-related fees:        
Tax fees:        
All other fees:        
Total fees paid or accrued to our principal accountant  $33,500   $34,000 

 

Audit Fees — This category includes the audit of our annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with engagements for those fiscal years. This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or the review of interim financial statements.

 

Audit-Related Fees — This category consists of assurance and related services by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.”

 

Tax Fees — This category consists of professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance and tax advice.

 

All Other Fees — This category consists of fees for other miscellaneous items.

 

We do not have an Audit Committee. Our board of directors acted as the Company's Audit Committee during fiscal 2014, recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors’ independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls.

 

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedure for Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services

 

The Company has not adopted any written pre-approval policies or procedures as described in paragraph (c)(7)(i) of Rule 2.01 of Regulation S-X. All audit and permissible non-audit services in 2014 and 2013 were pre-approved by the Board of Directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

Players Network

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Players Network as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Players Network as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses and insufficient working capital, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

Players Network (Stock Symbol: PNTV) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Our business for most of our existence has been the ownership and operation of a digital 24-hour Video On Demand and Broadband gaming and entertainment television network called “PLAYERS NETWORK,” which specializes in producing television and multimedia programming to serve the gaming and entertainment industry. Our programming is broadcast directly into 30 million cable and satellite homes and available worldwide through broadband internet. The Company operates three separate channels, Players Network, which focuses on gaming lifestyle, Vegas On Demand, which involves the Las Vegas lifestyle and entertainment experience, and Sexy Sin City TV which covers the sexy side of Las Vegas.

 

In addition to the PLAYERS NETWORK, gaming and Las Vegas related content, the Company has launched its own internet television platform that incubates several other program categories that have their own brand and appeal to new audiences. The Company’s internet television platform includes advertising and sponsorship sales, web-based merchandise transactions, online memberships, Pay-Per-View and syndication activities.

 

On July 8, 2014, we formed a subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. (“GLFH”), in which we retained 83% ownership, with the remaining 17% held by key experts and advisors. An additional 1.6% was sold to an investor on December 8, 2014, giving PNTV 81.4% ownership and minority interests ownership of 18.6% as of December 31, 2014. The subsidiary has been formed as a holding company to potentially own additional subsidiaries that may operate medical marijuana related businesses. These additional subsidiaries have yet to be formed, and, or, acquired, with the exception of Green Leaf Medical, LLC (“GLML”), which was formed on July 18, 2014 and has no activity to date. We had applied for a Medical Marijuana Dispensary special use permit with the City of Las Vegas, and Cultivation and Processing special use permits in North Las Vegas and a license for all permits in the State of Nevada, and have currently been granted the two special use permits in North Las Vegas, however there can be no assurance we will be able to conduct these operations. As such, there is a risk that we may not be able to expand our operations into this field as intended.

 

Basis of Accounting

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting as generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which are under common control and ownership:

 

    State of       Abbreviated
Name of Entity(2)   Incorporation   Relationship   Reference
Players Network(1)   Nevada   Parent   PNTV
Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc.(2)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLFH
Green Leaf Medical, LLC(3)(4)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLML

_______________ 

(1)Players Network entity is in the form of a Corporation.

(2)Majority-owned subsidiary formed on July 8, 2014, in which PNTV retained 83% ownership, with the remaining 17% held by key experts and advisors. An additional 1.6% was sold to an investor on December 8, 2014, giving PNTV 81.4% ownership and minority interests ownership of 18.6% as of December 31, 2014.

(3)Wholly-Owned subsidiary of GLFH formed for prospective purposes, but has not incurred any income or expenses to date.

(4)Entity formed for prospective purposes, but has not incurred any income or expenses to date.

 

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company, PNTV and subsidiaries, GLFH and GLML will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “Players Network” or “PNTV”. The Company's headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its customers are within the United States.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

 

Segment Reporting

Under FASB ASC 280-10-50, the Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. In addition, the Company had debt instruments that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

PNTV maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We generate the majority of our revenues and corresponding accounts receivable from video production services on a project basis and subscriptions for video content. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. We had no debts expense during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Cost Method of Accounting for Investments

Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such Investee companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. However, impairment charges are recognized in the Statement of Operations. If circumstances suggest that the value of the Investee Company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded. Our investments which are accounted for on the cost method of accounting have been completely impaired previously, and no impairment expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

Deferred Television Costs

Deferred television costs included direct production and development costs stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on anticipated revenue. Production overhead is not included as the Company outsources its production costs to third party vendors. Capitalized television production costs for each pilot episode are to be expensed as revenues are recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the completed pilot episodes using the individual-film-forecast-computation method for each television show produced. The Company recognized $95,000 of revenues on November 1, 2012 with the completion of the first of three pilot episodes; and accordingly, recognized $75,617 of expenses related to the development of the pilot. The remaining $135,000 of revenues, and corresponding $116,454 of deferred television costs, were deferred and will be recognized upon completion and delivery of the remaining content. We also delivered a series of ‘webisodes’ and miscellaneous footage in June of 2014, however, the recipient refused to accept the modification of the terms and we had to reverse the recognition and defer the revenue and related television costs as of December 31, 2014.

 

Deferred television costs consist of the following at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Development and pre-production costs  $   $ 
In-production   68,264    68,264 
Post production   48,190    48,190 
Total deferred television costs  $116,454   $116,454 

 

Due to practical limitations applicable to monetizing our developed content over On-Demand networks, the Company has not considered collectability of advertising or television license revenues to be reasonably assured, and accordingly, the Company has expensed production costs related to the development of our On-Demand and internet-based content as incurred.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:

 

Software  3 years
Office equipment and website development costs  5 years
Furniture and fixtures  7 years

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which have extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on the disposal of fixed assets during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs relating to obtaining certain debts are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company paid $21,750 and $11,000 of debt issuance costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which the unamortized balance of debt issuance costs at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $9,959 and $3,399, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs charged to interest expense was $15,190 and $37,556 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to interest expense.

 

Deferred Rent Obligation

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate office which contains provisions for future rent increases. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease terms. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to “Deferred rent obligation,” which is reflected as a separate line item in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its internet television platform from internally generated products and from partnered merchants when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are met when the customers purchase a product or access a web-based video, the product or web-based video has been electronically delivered to the purchaser and payment has been received. At that time, the Company's obligations to the customer is substantially complete. The Company records the net amount it retains from the sale of items from its internet television platform after paying any agreed upon percentage of the purchase price to the featured advertising merchant excluding any applicable taxes. Revenue is recorded on a net basis because the Company is acting as an agent of the partnered merchant in the transaction. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Network revenue consists of monthly network broadcast subscription revenue, which is recognized over the period in which the subscription service is available. Broadcast television advertising revenue is recognized when advertisements are aired. Video production revenue is recognized as digital video film is completed and accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Revenue from the distribution of domestic television series is recognized as earned using the following criteria:

 

·Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·The show/episode is complete, and in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;
·The license period has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;
·The price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and
·Collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Due to practical limitations applicable to operating relationships with On-Demand networks, the Company has not considered collectability of advertising or television license revenues to be reasonably assured, and accordingly, the Company has not recognize such revenue unless payment has been received.

 

Audio/Video content licensing revenues were recognized when the underlying royalties from the sales of the related products were earned. The Company recognized minimum revenue guarantees, if any, ratably over the term of the license or as earned royalties based on actual sales of the related products, if greater.

 

Deferred revenues consist of the following at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
       
Deferred revenues on television pilot episodes  $135,000   $135,000 

 

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Note and tainted Warrant), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

 

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising and promotions expense was $147,145 and $11,684 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Website Development Costs

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs” (“ASC 350-50”), wherein website development costs are segregated into three activities:

 

  1) Initial stage (planning), whereby the related costs are expensed.
  2) Development (web application, infrastructure, graphics), whereby the related costs are capitalized and amortized once the website is ready for use. Costs for development content of the website may be expensed or capitalized depending on the circumstances of the expenditures.
  3) Post-implementation (after site is up and running: security, training, admin), whereby the related costs are expensed as incurred. Upgrades are usually expensed, unless they add additional functionality.

 

The Company had no capitalized website development costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 related to its internet television platforms pursuant to the development stage.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2014 and 2013, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Stock and stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $1,755,336 and $449,667 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

PNTV recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. PNTV provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

 

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($26,848,642), and as of December 31, 2014, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,868,948 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,787,718. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has convertible notes that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 5 – Subsidiary Formation

 

On July 8, 2014, we formed a subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. (“GLFH”), in which we retained 83% ownership, with the remaining 17% held by key experts and advisors, of which 16% was distributed to individuals as compensation for their services, including 3% to Mr. Bradley, CEO and 1% to Mr. Berk, President of Programming, and an additional 1% was sold to one of those individuals for $60,000. An additional 1.6% was sold to an investor on December 8, 2014, giving PNTV 81.4% ownership and minority interests ownership of 18.6% as of December 31, 2014. The subsidiary has been formed as a holding company to potentially own additional subsidiaries that may operate medical marijuana related businesses. These additional subsidiaries have yet to be formed, and, or, acquired, with the exception of Green Leaf Medical, LLC (“GLML”), which was formed on July 18, 2014 and has no activity to date. We had applied for a Medical Marijuana Dispensary special use permit with the City of Las Vegas, and Cultivation and Processing special use permits in North Las Vegas and a license for all permits in the State of Nevada, and have currently been granted the two special use permits in North Las Vegas, however there can be no assurance we will be able to conduct these operations. As such, there is a risk that we may not be able to expand our operations into this field as intended.

Note 6 – Investments

 

On May 11, 2011, we acquired a 10% interest in iCandy, Inc. (“ICI”), and a 10% interest in iCandy Burlesque, Inc. (“ICB”), Nevada entertainment companies that develop and operate a variety of entertainment shows in the United States, primarily in casinos within Las Vegas, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. We acquired the interests in exchange for $25,499 that was in turn spent on the development of a promotional video that was to be distributed on our website. In addition, we agreed to pay a license fee of 20% of the adjusted gross revenues that we were to earn from the distribution and sales related to the promotional video content. No such revenues have been earned to date. On March 23, 2011 and April 20, 2011 we then loaned $19,000 and $1,000, respectively, to ICI on an unsecured convertible promissory note carrying a 6% interest rate, maturing on May 11, 2012. In accordance with ASC 310-10-35-17, we applied normal loan review procedures and determined it was probable all amounts due from our loan would not be collected due to the financial condition of the debtor. As a result, we recognized impairment of $20,000 in 2011. On November 1, 2012, the Company elected to convert the total note receivable of $22,477, consisting of $20,000 of principal and $2,477 of interest receivable in exchange for an additional 7.5% ownership interest in ICI, and 7.5% interest in ICB. The conversion resulted in a total ownership of 17.5% in both entities as of November 1, 2012. Both the investments and the note receivable had been written off as impaired in 2011 due to valuation and collectability uncertainties, as a result the 17.5% investment in both entities are no longer on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 10 – Investment Agreement with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP

 

On November 7, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Dutchess”), as amended on July 5, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Dutchess committed to purchase, in a series of purchase transactions (“Puts”), up to eight million five hundred thousand ($8,500,000) dollars of the Company’s common stock over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months from the effective date of the registration statement covering the Equity Line Financing with Dutchess, which was September 26, 2013.

 

The amount that the Company is entitled to request with each Put delivered to Dutchess is equal to, at its option, either (i) two hundred (200%) percent of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of its common stock for three (3) trading days prior to the applicable Put Notice Date, multiplied by the average of the three (3) daily closing prices immediately preceding the Put Date or (ii) fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars. The purchase price to be paid by Dutchess for the shares of the Company’s common stock covered by each Put will be equal to ninety-five (95%) percent of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock during the period beginning on the Put Notice Date and ending on and including the date that is five (5) trading days after such Put Notice Date (“Pricing Period”). The “Put Notice Date” is the trading day immediately following the day on which Dutchess receives a Put Notice from the Company.

 

For each Put Notice submitted to Dutchess under the Investment Agreement, there is a Suspension Price of $0.01 for that Put. In the event the common stock falls below the Suspension Price, the put shall be temporarily suspended. The Put shall resume at such time as the common stock is above the Suspension Price, provided the dates for the Pricing Period for that particular put are still valid. In the event the Pricing Period has been complete, any shares above the Suspension Price due to Dutchess shall be sold to Dutchess by us at the volume weighted average price under the terms of the Investment Agreement.

 

In conjunction with the Investment Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with Dutchess. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 26, 2013 covering 22,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying a portion of the Investment Agreement. In addition, during the term of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement, as well as any subsequent registration statements that may be associated with the Investment Agreement and/or Registration Rights Agreement.

 

As of the filing date of this report, the Company had not sold any shares to Dutchess nor received any financing from Dutchess.

Note 12 – Derivative Liabilities

 

As discussed in Note 9 under Convertible Debentures, the Company issued convertible notes payable that provide for the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable could exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, the equity environment is tainted and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date.

 

The fair values of the Company’s derivative liabilities were estimated at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date, using a lattice model. The Company recognized current derivative liabilities of $1,417,187 and $648,298 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a loss of $834,891 and $580,888 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which has been reported as other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The loss of $834,891 for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of a loss of $660,260 due to the value in excess of the face value of the convertible notes, a gain of $26,480 attributable to the fair value of preferred stock, a gain of $284,388 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $485,499 on the convertible notes. The loss of $580,888 for the year ended December 31, 2013 consisted of a loss of $153,314 due to the value in excess of the face value of the convertible notes, a loss of $6,150 attributable to the fair value of preferred stock, a loss of $372,330 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $49,094 on the convertible notes.

·Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value and would fluctuate with projected volatility.
·The warrant exercise prices ranged from $0.04 to $0.41, exercisable over 2 to 10 year periods from the grant date.
·The holders of the securities would convert monthly to the ownership limit starting at 4.99% increasing by 10% per month.
·The holders would automatically convert the note at the maximum of 3 times the conversion price if the Company was not in default.
·The monthly trading volume would reflect historical averages and would increase at 1% per month.
·The Company would redeem the notes based on availability of alternative financing, increasing 2% monthly to a maximum of 10%.
·The holder would automatically convert the note at maturity if the registration was effective and the Company was not in default.
·The computed volatility was projected based on historical volatility.

$0.04 – $0.08   11,300,000    2.72 years   $0.05    11,300,000   $0.05 

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
         
Average risk-free interest rates   0.33%    0.25% 
Average expected life (in years)   2.92    2.00 
Volatility   248%    177% 

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s common stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its common stock options. During 2014 and 2013, there were no options granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $0.05 and $0.08 per option, respectively.

In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $18,400,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.

Less: Valuation allowance   (6,440,000)   (5,348,700)
Net deferred tax assets  $   $ 

 

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

A reconciliation between the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. and State statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
         
Federal and state statutory rate   35%    35% 
Change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets   (35%)   (35%)

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

 

 

Note 19 – Future Minimum Lease Payments

 

Effective July 1, 2013, we leased our office space in Las Vegas, Nevada under a 3-year operating lease expiring August 31, 2016.

Note 21 – Concentrations in Sales to Few Customers

 

The largest two customers accounted for 69% and 82% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. An adverse change in the Company’s relationship with these customers could negatively affect the Company’s revenues and their results of operations.

 

 

Note 22 – Company is Dependent on Few Major Suppliers

 

The Company is dependent on third-party vendors for all of its video content production and services. In 2014 and 2013, purchases from the Company’s two largest vendors accounted for approximately 77% and 71% of direct operating costs, respectively. The Company is dependent on the ability of its vendors to provide services and content on a timely basis and on favorable pricing terms. The loss of certain suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that its relationships with its suppliers are satisfactory.

 

 

Note 23 – Non-Controlling Interest

 

Non-controlling interest represented the 17% interest in the subsidiary held amongst eleven individuals, of whom the Company’s CEO, Mark Bradley and the Company’s President of Programming, Michael Berk own 3% and 1%, respectively, through December 8, 2014. On December 9, 2014, one of the non-officer, minority investors exercised an option to purchase an additional 1.6% interest in the Company’s subsidiary from the parent in exchange for proceeds of $160,000, thereby increasing the minority interest in the subsidiary to 18.6% amongst the same individuals. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest totaled $185,229 during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Effects of changes in Players Network’s ownership interest in its subsidiary during the year ended December 31, 2014 are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2014

For Value Received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of Tangiers Investment Group, LLC or its registered assigns or successors-in-interest (“Holder”) the principal sum of up to $236,500 and to pay “guaranteed” interest on the principal balance hereof (which principal balance shall be increased by the Holder’s payment of additional consideration as set forth herein and which increase shall also include the prorated amount of the original issue discount in connection with Holders payment of additional consideration) at the rate of 8%, all of which “guaranteed” interest shall be deemed earned as of the date of each such payment of additional consideration by the Holder on the Maturity Date, to the extent such principal amount and “guaranteed” interest have been repaid or converted into the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

The initial Purchase Price will be $75,250 of consideration upon execution of the Note Purchase Agreement and all supporting documentation. The sum of $70,000 shall be remitted and delivered to the Company, and $5,250 shall be retained by the Purchaser through an original issue discount for due diligence and legal bills related to this transaction. The Holder reserves the right to pay additional consideration at any time and in any amount it desires, up to the total face value of this Note, at its sole discretion. The principal sum (including the prorated amount of the original issue discount) owed by the Company shall be prorated to the amount of consideration paid by the Holder and only the consideration received by the Company, plus prorated “guaranteed” interest and other fees and prorated original issue discount, shall be deemed owed by the Company. The original issue discount is set at 7.5% of any consideration paid. The Company is not responsible to repay any unfunded portion of this Note.

In addition to the “guaranteed” interest referenced above, and in the Event of Default pursuant to Section 2(e), additional interest will accrue from the date of the Event of Default at the rate equal to the lower of 20% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”).

 

This Note may be prepaid according to the following schedule: Between 1 and 180 days from the date of execution, this Note may be prepaid for 125% of face value plus accrued interest.

Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

 

For purposes hereof the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

 

“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

“Conversion Price” shall be equal to 60% of the average of the two lowest closing market prices of the Company’s common stock during the 15 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which Holder elects to convert all or part of the Note. If the Company is placed on “chilled” status with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the discount shall be increased by 10% until such chill is remedied. If the Company is not Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) eligible through their Transfer Agent and the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) system, the discount will be increased by 5%. In the case of both, the discount shall be a cumulative 15%. This note is subject to a limitation of $37,650 in principal conversion every 20 trading days.

 

Principal Amount” shall refer to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of this Note (including the prorated amount of the original issue discount), (ii) all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, and (iii) any default payments owing under the Note but not previously paid or added to the Principal Amount.

 

“Trading Day” shall mean a day on which there is trading on the Principal Market.

 

“Underlying Shares” means the shares of common stock into which the Note is convertible (including interest or principal payments in common stock as set forth herein) in accordance with the terms hereof.

(i)                 Stock Certificates or DWAC. The Company will deliver to the Holder, or Holder’s authorized designee, no later than two 2 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which certificate(s) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) program (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

 

(ii)                 Charges, Expenses. Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, postage/mailing charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock.

The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from a failure to deliver the Common Stock and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. Such liquidated damages will be automatically added to the Principal Amount of the Note.

 

(c)          Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note (and repayments in Common Stock), free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than three times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1 but without regard to any ownership limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note to Common Stock (the “Required Reserve”). These shares shall be reserved in proportion with the consideration actually received by the Company and the total sharers reserved will be increased with future payments of consideration by Holder to ensure the Required Reserve is met. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable. If the amount of shares on reserve at the Transfer Agent for this Note in Holder’s name shall drop below the Required Reserve, the Company will, within two (2) business days of written notification from Holder, instruct the Transfer Agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this will result in a default of the Note.

(e)          Events of Default. An “Event of Default” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than 5 business days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares upon and in accordance with terms hereof, which default continues for 3 Business Days after the Company has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd day following the Conversion Date; (iii) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of the Note Purchase Agreement; (iv) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status with DTC; (v) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event; (vi) any failure of the Company to satisfy its “filing” obligations under the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTC Markets.com and their affiliates; (vii) any failure of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to the corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 day of request by Holder; (viii) failure to have sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for any conversion; (ix) failure of Company’s Common Stock to maintain a bid price in its trading market which occurs for at least 3 consecutive Trading Days; (x) any delisting for any reason; (xi) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees or to maintain a Transfer Agent of record; (xii) any trading suspension imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xiii) any breach of Section 1.00 (c); or (xiv) any default after any cure period under, or acceleration prior to maturity of, any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company in excess of $50,000 or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company in excess of $50,000, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter.

 

Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Note, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the event of such acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be increased to 150% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note held by the Holder plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and liquidated damages, if any. Additionally, this Note shall accrue interest on any unpaid principal from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default at a rate of 20%. Finally, the Note will accrue liquidated damages of $1,000 per day from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from an Event of Default and any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative and automatically added to the principal value of the Note.

Section 3.00     General.

 

(f)          Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.

 

(g)         Assignment, Etc. The Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee at its sole discretion. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

(h)         Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

 

(i)                 Governing Law. This note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California without regard to any conflicts of laws or provisions thereof that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

 

(ii)                 Jurisdiction. Any dispute or claim arising to or in any way related to this Note or the rights and obligations of each of the parties hereto shall be settled by binding arbitration in San Diego, California. All arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). AAA shall designate an arbitrator from an approved list of arbitrators following both parties' review and deletion of those arbitrators on the approved list having a conflict of interest with either party. The Company agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.

 

(ii)                 No Jury Trial. The Company hereto knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this note.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PLAYERS NETWORK, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of KBM WORLDWIDE, INC., a New York corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $104,000.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on July 29, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

1
 

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

Article I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1  Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

2
 

 

1.2  Conversion Price.

 

(a)    Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

(b)    Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a). For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3  Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4  Method of Conversion.

 

(a)    Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

 

(b)    Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(c)    Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

4
 

 

(d)    Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

 

(e)    Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

(f)    Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(g)    Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

 

5
 

 

1.5  Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6  Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a)    Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

(b)    Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c)    Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

(d)    Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(e)    Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(f)    Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

 

1.7  Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

1.8  Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

 

1.9  Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower, at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

3.15  Replacement of Transfer Agent.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Sum (as defined herein).  UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT SUM (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and/or 3. 15 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Sum”) or (ii) the “parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum in accordance with Article I, treating the Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the “Conversion Date” for purposes of determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price, unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect of a specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion Date), multiplied by (b) the highest Closing Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date (the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. 

 

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

Article IV. MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1  Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges.

4.3  Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

4.4  Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

4.5  Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

4.6  Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

4.7  Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

 

4.8  Purchase Agreement. By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

17
 

 

4.9  Notice of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

 

4.10  Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer this October 27, 2014.

f.           No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to June 30, 2014, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

 

11
 

 

(ii)         Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business.

 

(iii)        There are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not in compliance with applicable law.

 

t.          Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(t) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

u.         Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request the Company will provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.

 

v.         Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

 

12
 

 

w.        Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

 

x.         Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

 

y.        No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment Company”). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.

 

z.         Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. If the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

b.         Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

c.         Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds for general working capital purposes.

 

d.         Right of First Refusal. Unless it shall have first delivered to the Buyer, at least seventy two (72) hours prior to the closing of such Future Offering (as defined herein), written notice describing the proposed Future Offering (“ROFR Notice”), including the terms and conditions thereof, identity of the proposed purchaser and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith, and providing the Buyer an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following delivery of such notice to purchase the securities being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Right of First Refusal”) (and subject to the exceptions described below), the Company will not conduct any equity (or debt with an equity component) financing in an amount less than $100,000 (“Future Offering(s)”) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending six (6) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not consummate any Future Offering with an investor, or an affiliate of such investor (collectively “Prospective Investor”), identified on an ROFR Notice whereby the Buyer exercised its Right of First Refusal for a period of forty (45) days following such exercise; and any subsequent offer by a Prospective Investor is subject to this Section 4(d) and the Right of First Refusal. In the event the terms and conditions of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of the notice to the Buyer concerning the proposed Future Offering, the Company shall deliver a new notice to the Buyer describing the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Future Offering and the Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata share of the securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any proposed Future Offering. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act) or (ii) issuances of securities as consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product or license by the Company. The Right of First Refusal also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.

 

14
 

 

e.         Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyer for expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith (“Documents”), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to the Buyer for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by the Buyer. The Company’s obligation with respect to this transaction is to reimburse Buyer’ expenses shall be $4,000.00.

 

f.          Financial Information. Upon written request the Company agrees to send or make available the following reports to the Buyer until the Buyer transfers, assigns, or sells all of the Securities: (i) within ten (10) days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; (ii) within one (1) day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) contemporaneously with the making available or giving to the shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other information the Company makes available or gives to such shareholders.

 

g.         [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

 

h.         Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Conversion Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange or electronic quotation system (including but not limited to the Pink Sheets electronic quotation system) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or electronic quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then traded regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.

 

15
 

 

i.          Corporate Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the Pink Sheets, OTCQX, OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.

 

j.          No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

k.         Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an event of default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

 

l.          Failure to Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

 

m.        Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.

 

16
 

 

5.          Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).  In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement.  The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities.  If the Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

Article I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1  Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

2
 

 

1.2  Conversion Price.

 

(a)    Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

(b)    Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a). For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3  Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4  Method of Conversion.

 

(a)    Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

 

(b)    Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(c)    Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

4
 

 

(d)    Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

 

(e)    Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

(f)    Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(g)    Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

1.5  Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6  Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a)    Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

(b)    Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

7
 

 

(c)    Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

(d)    Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

8
 

 

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(e)    Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(f)    Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

 

1.7  Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

1.8  Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

 

1.9  Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower, at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

4.3  Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

4.4  Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

4.5  Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

4.6  Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

4.7  Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

 

4.10          Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer this December 3, 2014.

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

The Right of First Refusal also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.

The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Conversion Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange or electronic quotation system (including but not limited to the Pink Sheets electronic quotation system) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or electronic quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then traded regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.

 

15
 

 

i.          Corporate Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the Pink Sheets, OTCQX, OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.

 

j.          No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

k.         Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an event of default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

 

l.          Failure to Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

 

m.        Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.

5.          Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).  In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement.  The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities.  If the Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
