NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Organization and Nature of Operations

CNS Response, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 20, 1987, under the name Age Research, Inc.  Prior to January 16, 2007, CNS Response, Inc. (then called Strativation, Inc.) existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge.  On January 16, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CNS Response, Inc., a California corporation formed on January 11, 2000 (“CNS California”), and CNS Merger Corporation, a California corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“MergerCo”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire CNS California in a merger transaction wherein MergerCo would merge with and into CNS California, with CNS California being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). On March 7, 2007, the Merger closed, CNS California became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and on the same date the corporate name was changed from Strativation, Inc. to CNS Response, Inc.  

The Company is a clinical decision support company with a commercial neurometric platform to predict drug response for treatment of brain disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.  We have commenced a reimbursed 2,000 patient trial at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (“Walter Reed” or “WRNMMC”) focused on patients with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI”) in order to support clinical decisions in the treatment of depression and related disorders.  We will be reimbursed by Walter Reed at our standard rate for each PEER Outcome report rendered in the study. PEER stands for Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry (“PEER”).

In addition, the Company had acquired the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. (“NTC”) on January 15, 2008, which provided behavioral health care services.  NTC was a center for advanced testing and treatment of neuropsychiatric problems, including learning, attentional and behavioral challenges, mild head injuries, as well as depression, anxiety, bipolar and all other common psychiatric disorders. However, due to the Company’s inability to raise sufficient funding and due to NTC’s continued operating losses, it was decided to discontinue the operations of NTC effective September 30, 2012, as the Company chose to focus its limited cash resources on the clinical trial at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. NTC is accounted for as a discontinued operation as detailed in Footnote 3.

On April 2, 2012, the Company announced that on March 30, 2012 it had filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to (i) effect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split (“reverse split”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on April 2, 2012 (the “Effective Time”), and (ii) simultaneously therewith reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), from 750 million to 100 million. Because the Amendment did not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in the same proportion as the reverse split, the effect of the Amendment was to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding. 

At the Effective Time, immediately and without further action by the Company’s stockholders, every 30 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically combined into one share of Common Stock. In the event the reverse split left a stockholder with a fraction of a share, the number of shares due to that stockholder was rounded up. Further, any options, warrants and rights outstanding as of the Effective Time that were subject to adjustment were adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof. These adjustments included, without limitation, changes to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or conversion of such securities, and changes to the applicable exercise or purchase price.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. The Company has a limited operating history and its operations are subject to certain problems, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a new business. These risks include the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies. 

The Company’s continued operating losses and limited capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has limited ability to meet its current obligations as they become due and it is in arrears on paying most of its creditors.  Because of its substantial indebtedness, it is insolvent and needs to raise additional funds and to restructure its debt to continue its operations. If the Company is not able to raise additional funds within the next 90 days and reach some accommodations with its creditors, it will likely have to cease operations.

To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from debt and equity financings.  It will be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds immediately to continue its operations and to raise substantial additional funds before the Company can increase demand for its PEER Online services (formerly known as rEEG services). Until it can generate a sufficient amount of revenues to finance its cash requirements, which it may never do, the Company has to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic collaborations. The Company’s liquidity and capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its services, the future profitability of the Company, the rate of growth of the Company’s business and other factors described elsewhere in this Annual Report.  The Company continues to explore additional sources of capital but there is substantial doubt as to whether any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company to permit it to continue operations. The Company was unsuccessful in consummating the public offering of securities it had been pursuing in 2012. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As of November 30, 2012 the Company closed on a $2 million round of bridge financing and has approval from the majority of note holders in each tranche to raise an additional $1 million of debt.

Between February 22, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,780,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share at a per share price of $0.25, in a private placement to an aggregate of 17 accredited investors, including 450,000 shares issued to two affiliates of the Company, for gross cash proceeds to the Company of $695,000.

The private placement is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D thereunder, as the shares of common stock are being issued to accredited investors, without a view to distribution, and are not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement. The shares of common stock have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Basis of Presentation

All share and per share numbers presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the common stock on April 2, 2012 and a simultaneous reduction in authorized shares to 100,000,000.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNS Response, Inc., an inactive parent company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries CNS California and NTC.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NTC is accounted for as a discontinued operation (see footnote 3).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, intangible assets, income taxes, valuation of equity instruments, accrued liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Cash

The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions and may at times exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000.  At March 31, 2013 cash exceeded the federally insured limit by $467,200.  The Company believes that the risk of loss is minimal. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses related to cash deposits with financial institutions.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company applies ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which provides a two-step model to determine whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74. This standard triggers liability accounting on all instruments and embedded features exercisable at strike prices based on future equity-linked instruments issued at a lower rate.  Using the criteria in ASC 815, the Company determines which instruments or embedded features that require liability accounting and records the fair values as a derivative liability. The changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities.” 

Effective November 28, 2012 the Company, together with the majority of the note holders of each of the October 2010 Notes, the January 2011 Notes, the October 2011 Notes and the February 2011 Note agreed to amend all the Notes, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Consent, Note Amendment and Warrant Forfeiture Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012. Consequently, all of such notes were amended to (a) extend the maturity date to October 1, 2013, (b) set the conversion price at $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the notes and (c) remove full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition, the holders forfeited the warrants they received in connection with the issuance of the notes, and consented to the 2012 Bridge Financing, the issuance of the October 2012 Notes and to the subordination of their notes to these October 2012 Notes. Both the convertible notes and warrants had contained ratchet provisions, which under ASC 815 required bifurcation of the conversion feature and warrants for derivative liability treatment. With the warrants forfeited, the ratchet in the notes eliminated and the maturity date extended, only the interest rate on all the notes remained unchanged at 9% per annum. Using the Black Scholes model, we valued each tranche of the Notes as of November 28, 2012 and compared that value with the value of these notes on the prior day with their original maturity dates.  The difference of the two valuation calculations of $466,300 was booked to Other Expenses as a gain on extinguishment of debt. As of March 31, 2013 the derivative liability was $0 as the warrants were eliminated and with the ratchet removed the debt conversion option liability was also $0. As of September 30, 2012 the derivative liability was $520,700, which was comprised of the warrant liability of $520,700 and debt conversion liability of $0.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480-10 (formerly SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”), ASC 815-10 (formerly SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) and ASC 815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”).

The Company adopted ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

The Company’s warrant liability is carried at fair value totaling $520,700, as of September 30, 2012, and the Company’s conversion option liability is carried at fair value of $0.00 as of September 30, 2012.  The warrant liability and conversion option liability were removed on November 28, 2012, as warrants were eliminated and the ratchet feature removed from the convertible notes upon modification. As a result, the warrant liability and conversion option liability are both $0 as of March 31, 2013.

For the six months ending March 31, 2013 the Company recognized a loss of $97,600 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  For the six months ending March 31, 2012 the Company recognized a loss of $(5,501,700) on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  As at March 31, 2013 the Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10.  

Accounts Receivable

The Company estimates the collectability of customer receivables on an ongoing basis by reviewing past-due invoices and assessing the current creditworthiness of each customer.  Allowances are provided for specific receivables deemed to be at risk for collection.

Fixed Assets

 Fixed assets, which are recorded at cost, consist of office furniture and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.  The useful life of these assets is estimated to be from 3 to 5 years.  Depreciation for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $6,000 and $8,400 respectively.  Accumulated depreciation at March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $56,100 and $42,000 respectively.

Offering Costs

The Company applies ASC topic 505-10, “Costs of an Equity Transaction”, for recognition of offering costs. In accordance with ASC 505-10, the Company treats incremental direct costs incurred to issue shares classified as equity, as a reduction of the proceeds. Direct costs incurred before shares classified as equity are issued, are classified as an asset until the stock is issued. Indirect costs such as management salaries or other general and administrative expenses and deferred costs of an aborted offering are expensed.

Long-Lived Assets

As required by ASC 350-30 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ) (“ASC 350-30”), the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. ASU 2012-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment allows the Company to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of impairment to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. No impairment loss was recorded for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue as the related services are delivered.

Research and Development Expenses

The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as incurred.

Advertising Expenses

The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations as incurred. There were $0 and $93,100 in advertising expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted ASC 718-20 (formerly SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment -revised 2004) (“ASC718-20”) and related interpretations which establish the accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under ASC 718-20, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.

Stock Option Grant on December 10, 2012:

Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period October 1, 2012 through to December 10, 2012, the date of the option grant, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $15,000 worth of stock was traded on 11 of 48 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.76 to $0.83. There was a contemporaneous transaction whereby $2 million of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“October 2012 Notes”) with a conversion price of $0.04718 were purchased by accredited third party investors. Given the very low volume of stock that was traded, compared to the volume of October 2012 Notes purchased, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the October 2012 Notes at $0.04718 represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock and the options granted on December 10, 2012.

Stock Option Grant on January 14, 2013:

Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period October 1, 2012 through to January 14, 2013, the date of the option grant, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $36,700 worth of stock was traded on 21 of 50 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.49 to $2.50. There had been a recent transaction which closed on November 30, 2012 whereby $2 million of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“October 2012 Notes”) with a conversion price of $0.04718 were purchased by accredited third party investors. Given the very low volume of stock that was traded, compared to the volume of October 2012 Notes purchased, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the October 2012 Notes at $0.04718 represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock and the options granted on January 14, 2013.

Stock Option Grant on March 24, 2013:

Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period January 1, 2013 through to March 26, 2013, the date of the option grant, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $283,400 worth of stock was traded on 22 of 58 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.46 to $0.83. There was a contemporaneous transaction whereby shares corresponding to $695,000 of a $2.5 million private placement of common stock purchased at a price of $0.25 per share by accredited third party investors. Given the low volume of stock that was traded, compared to the volume of the private placement of common stock, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the private placement of common stock at $0.25 per share represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock and the options granted on March 26, 2013.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ASC 220-10 (formerly, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income) (“ASC 220-10”), requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income (loss) on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income (loss) in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) which contains two sections, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), or in two separate but consecutive statements. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is the same as its reported net income (loss) for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company has adopted the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States regarding earnings (loss) per, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings (loss) per share.

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-07 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting, in order to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-0 Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, in order to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, in order to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company considers the adoption of the standard update will not impact its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01 Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, in order to clarify that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On September 30, 2012 the Company discontinued its Clinical Services Operation at its wholly-owned subsidiary Neuro Therapy Clinic, Inc. (“NTC”), because the operation had persistent losses which could no longer be supported by the Company. Furthermore, the Company chose to focus its limited cash resources to conduct its clinical trial at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

As of September 30, 2012 the staff of NTC had departed and the premises were vacated. Prior to the clinic’s closure all patients were sent letters informing them where they could continue their treatment with their usual provider. Two of NTC’s providers joined a nearby psychiatric clinic operated by Compass Health Systems (“Compass”). NTC executed a business associate agreement with Compass to allow the confidential sharing of patient information and to enable the providers to continue to treat their patients. We are in discussion with Compass to manage NTC as part of Compass’ operations with an option to acquire NTC. All revenues and operating expenses under this management agreement would belong to Compass. Furthermore, if Compass exercises their option to acquire NTC, it would be for a nominal sum. All NTC assets and liabilities incurred prior to October 1, 2012 would remain with CNS Response.

Summary Financial Data of Discontinued Operations:

Revenues, income before income taxes and net loss of NTC which are included in discontinued operations are as follows:

The assets and liabilities of NTC are as follows:

2010, 2011 & 2012 Private Placement Transactions

During 2010, 2011 and 2012 we entered into a series of Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements as described in detail below. On September 26, 2010, the Company’s Board approved an approximate aggregate offering amount of $3 million in secured convertible promissory notes (the “October 2010 Notes”) to be issued by January 31, 2011, including for the exchange of Bridge Notes and Deerwood Notes (as defined below) and interest on those notes. October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,023,900 and warrants to purchase 520,666 (ratchet and reverse split adjusted) shares of common stock were issued by November 12, 2010.

On November 23, 2010 the Company’s Board approved an approximate aggregate offering amount of $5 million in subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “January 2011 Notes”) to be issued by July 31, 2011. From January 20, 2011 through April 25, 2011, the Company issued January 2011 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 and warrants to purchase 446,675 (ratchet and reverse split adjusted) shares of common stock.

On September 30, 2011 the Company’s Board approved an approximate aggregate offering amount of $2 million in subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “October 2011 Notes”) to be issued by April 1, 2012. From October 18, 2011 through January 31, 2012, the Company issued October 2011 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and warrants to purchase 687,174 shares of common stock.

On February 29, 2012, the Company raised $90,000 through the sale of a subordinated unsecured convertible bridge note (the “Unsecured Note”) and a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The terms of the February Note and warrant are substantially similar to the October 2011 Notes and warrants except that the February Note is not secured.

From August 17, 2012 through September 30, 2012, the Company issued August 2012 Bridge Notes (August 2012 Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000 as part of a $2 million bridge financing. These August 2012 Notes were subsequently amended and replaced with October 2012 Notes. From October 19, 2012 to November 30, 2012 the Company issued additional October 2012 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,600,000 to complete the $2 million bridge financing. No warrants were issued in conjunction with these notes. Furthermore $1,900 of these notes were converted into 40,000 shares of common stock prior to September 30, 2012 leaving an aggregate net $1,998,100 of convertible promissory October 2012 Bridge Notes outstanding.

The securities issued under the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements through March 31, 2013 are summarized in the following table and notes:

On October 1, 2010, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Pappajohn, pursuant to which we issued to Mr. Pappajohn October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $761,700 and warrants to purchase up to 126,949 shares of common stock. The Company received $250,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 and related warrants to purchase up to 41,667 shares. We also issued October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $511,700, and related warrants to purchase up to 85,282 shares, to Mr. Pappajohn in exchange for the cancellation of the two Bridge Notes originally issued to him on June 3, 2010 and July 25, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (and accrued and unpaid interest on those notes) and a warrant to purchase up to 8,334 shares originally issued to him on July 25, 2010. The transaction closed on October 1, 2010.On October 18, 2011, the Company entered into a new note and warrant purchase agreement in connection with a $2 million bridge financing (the “2011 Bridge Financing”), with Mr. Pappajohn.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued subordinated secured convertible notes (the “2011 Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 and warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock to Mr. Pappajohn for gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000.

The new note and warrant purchase agreement initially provided for the issuance and sale of October 2011 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000, and warrants to purchase a number of shares corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the 2011 Bridge Notes, in one or multiple closings to occur no later than April 1, 2012. On November 11, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “2011 Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement”) in connection with the Bridge Financing, which amended and restated the October agreement in that it increased the warrant coverage from 50% to 100%.  In addition, each holder’s option to redeem or convert their 2011 Bridge Note at the closing of the Qualified Offering (defined below) can now only be amended, waived or modified with the consent of the Company and that holder.

On each of November 10, 2011, and December 27, 2011, the Company issued a 2011 Bridge Note in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 and warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock to Mr. Pappajohn for gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000. The combined aggregate amount for these three 2011 Bridge Financings was $500,000 and warrants to purchase 166,668 shares of common stock for gross proceeds to the Company of $500,000.

On November 28, 2012, we entered into an Amended and Restated Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement with Mr. Pappajohn pursuant to which we issued to Mr. Pappajohn a October 2012 Note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, inclusive of the exchange of $200,000 in aggregate principal amount of demand notes issued on April 26 and May 25, 2012 for an aggregate of $200,000. The gross new cash proceeds to the Company from the November 28 issuance to Mr. Pappajohn were $300,000.

On January 25, 2013, Mr. Pappajohn converted $200,000 of the November 28, 2012 to purchase 4,300,551 shares of common stock at $0.04718 per share.

On March 21, 2013, Mr. Pappajohn converted $300,000 of the November 28, 2012 to purchase 6,538,258 shares of common stock at $0.04718 per share.

On July 5, 2010 and August 20, 2010, we issued unsecured promissory notes (each, a “Deerwood Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 to Deerwood Partners LLC and Deerwood Holdings LLC, with each investor purchasing two notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000.   The Deerwood Notes were to mature on December 15, 2010.  We received $250,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of the first two notes on July 5, 2010 and another $250,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of the second two notes on August 20, 2010.   In connection with the August 20, 2010 transaction, each of the two investors also received a warrant to purchase up to 2,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price (subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for issuances of securities at prices below the then-effective exercise price) of $16.80 per share.

SAIL Venture Partners L.P. (“SAIL”) issued unconditional guaranties to each of the Deerwood investors, guaranteeing the prompt and complete payment when due of all principal, interest and other amounts under each Deerwood Note.  SAIL’s general partner is SAIL Venture Partners, LLC. At the time of issuance, our director David Jones was a managing member of SAIL Venture Partners, LLC, and he remains a limited partner of SAIL.  The obligations under each guaranty were independent of our obligations under the Deerwood Notes and separate actions could be brought against the guarantor.  We entered into an oral agreement to indemnify SAIL and grant to SAIL a security interest in our assets in connection with the guaranties. In addition, on August 20, 2010, we granted SAIL warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,334 shares of common stock at an exercise price (subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for issuances of securities at prices below the then-effective exercise price) of $16.80 per share.

Each Deerwood Note accrued interest at a rate of 9% per annum and was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $15.00.  The conversion price was subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, but would never be less than $9.00.

On November 3, 2010, Deerwood Partners LLC, Deerwood Holdings LLC and BGN Acquisition Ltd. LP, executed the October Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, we issued October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $762,200 and warrants to purchase up to 92,895 shares of common stock, as follows: (a) We received $250,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance to BGN Acquisition Ltd., LP, of October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 and related warrants to purchase up to 41,667 shares. (b) We also issued October 2010 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $512,200, and related warrants to purchase up to 51,228 shares, to Deerwood Holdings LLC and Deerwood Partners LLC, in exchange for the cancellation of the Deerwood Notes originally issued on July 5, 2010 and August 20, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (and accrued and unpaid interest on those notes) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,000 shares originally issued on August 20, 2010. The related guaranties and oral indemnification and security agreement that had been entered into in connection with the Deerwood Notes were likewise terminated. SAIL, of which our director David Jones is a senior partner, issued unconditional guaranties to each of the Deerwood investors, guaranteeing the prompt and complete payment when due of all principal, interest and other amounts under the October 2010 Notes issued to such investors. The obligations under each guaranty are independent of our obligations under the October 2010 Notes and separate actions may be brought against the guarantor. In connection with its serving as guarantor, we granted SAIL warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,152 shares of common stock. The warrants to purchase 3,334 shares of common stock previously granted to SAIL on August 20, 2010 were canceled.

On January 31, 2013, Mr. Schindler converted all notes held by all the SAIL entities totaling $1,440,000 into 5,631,699 shares of common stock; of this total $250,000 of the October 2010 Notes plus interest were converted at $1.00 per share, $1,000,000 of the January 2011 Notes plus interest were converted at $1.00 per share and $190,000 of the October 2012 Notes were converted at $0.04718 per share. See note 5 Stockholders Deficiency Convertible Debt instruments converted to shares of common stock.

Monarch has also acted as non-exclusive placement agent with respect to the placement of January 2011 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and related warrants, pursuant to an engagement agreement, dated January 19, 2011 which has the same terms as the September 30, 2010 agreement between the Company and Monarch. In connection with acting as nonexclusive placement agent with respect to January 2011 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and related warrants, Monarch received aggregate cash fees of $55,000 and an aggregate cash expense allowance of $11,000 and five-year warrants (the “2011 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 18,334 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The 2011 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion price of the January 2011 Notes and an exercise period of five years. The terms of the 2011 Placement Agent Warrants, except for the exercise price and period, are identical to the terms of the warrants related to the January 2011 Notes.

Monarch has acted as non-exclusive placement agent with respect to the placement of certain of the abovementioned January 2011 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 and related warrants, pursuant to an engagement agreement, dated January 19, 2011 which has the same terms as the above mentioned September 30, 2010 agreement between the Company and Monarch.

Effective on November 20, 2012 the holders of placement agent warrants agreed to remove the ratchet feature in exchange for lowering the conversion price to $1.00 per share down from $3.00 per share. This resulted in the elimination of warrant liabilities as of such date.

On November 28, 2012, we entered into an Amended and Restated Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement with Mr. Carpenter pursuant to which we issued to Mr. Carpenter an October 2012 Note in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Mr. Carpenter resigned from the Company’s Board effective November 30, 2012 and remains the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

On March 27, 2013, Mr. Carpenter converted $50,000 of the October 2012 Note plus interest into 1,091,299 shares of common stock at $0.04718 per share.

Effective on November 20, 2012 the holders of placement agent warrants agreed to remove the ratchet feature in exchange for lowering the conversion price to $1.00 per share down from $3.00 per share. This resulted in the elimination of warrant liabilities as of such date.

The terms of the Unsecured Notes and related warrants are substantially similar to the terms of the October 2011 Notes and related warrants, except that the Unsecured Notes are not secured by our assets.

On November 6, 2012, AlphaNorth Offshore, Inc. purchased an October 2012 Note in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 in exchange for $100,000 in cash.

On January 31, 2013, Tierney Family Trust converted two October 2012 Notes, in aggregate $200,000, plus interest into 4,403,349 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.04718 per share.

Initially, the October 2010 Notes were to mature one year from the date of issuance (subject to earlier conversion or prepayment), earn interest equal to 9% per year with interest payable at maturity, and be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $9.00. The conversion price was subject to adjustment upon (i) the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (ii) the issuance of cash dividends and distributions on the common stock; (iii) the distribution of other capital stock, indebtedness or other non-cash assets; and (iv) the completion of a financing at a price below the conversion price then in effect. The October 2010 Notes were furthermore convertible, at the option of the holder, into securities to be issued in subsequent financings at the lower of the then-applicable conversion price or price per share payable by purchasers of such securities. The October 2010 Notes can be declared due and payable upon an event of default, defined in the October 2010 Notes to occur, among other things, if the Company fails to pay principal and interest when due, in the case of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or if the Company fails to perform any covenant or agreement as required by the October Note.

Our obligations under the terms of the October 2010 Notes are secured by a security interest in the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2010, by and between the Company and John Pappajohn, as administrative agent for the holders of the October 2010 Notes. This agreement was subsequently amended.

The warrants related to the October 2010 Notes were to expire seven years from the date of issuance and were exercisable for shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $9.00. Exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise were subject to adjustment (1) upon the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (2) in case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in capital stock and (3) upon the completion of a financing at a price below the exercise price then in effect. Any provision of the October 2010 Notes or related warrants could be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of such notes outstanding. Any such consent would affect all October 2010 Notes or warrants, as the case may be, and will be binding on all holders thereof.

The October 2010 Notes were subsequently amended as detailed in (23) below.

The terms of the January 2011 Notes are identical to the terms of the October 2010 Notes, except that (i) the January 2011 Notes are subordinated in all respects to the Company’s obligations under the October 2010 Notes and the related guaranties issued to certain investors by SAIL and (ii) the Company is not subject to a restrictive covenant to the use of proceeds from the sale of the January 2011 Notes only for current operations.  Initially, the January 2011 Notes were not secured by any of the Company’s assets. The terms of the warrants were identical to the terms of the warrants issued in connection with the October 2010 Notes.

The January 2011 Notes were subsequently amended as detailed in (23) below.

On October 12, 2011, the Company, with the consent of the Majority Holders of its October 2010 Notes, amended all of the October 2010 Notes to extend the maturity of such notes until October 1, 2012 by means of an Amendment and Conversion Agreement.  The Majority Holders of the October 2010 Notes also consented to the terms of the Bridge Financing and to granting the investors in such financing as well as the holders of the Company’s January 2011 Notes a second position security interest in the assets of the Company (including its intellectual property).  The guaranties that had been issued in 2010 to certain October Note investors by SAIL were extended accordingly. The amendment, which was effective as of September 30, 2011, was also intended to add the same mandatory conversion and conversion price adjustment provisions to the terms of the October 2010 Notes as were added to the terms of the January 2011 Notes.

As a result of the issuance of October 2011 Notes (mentioned below) at a conversion price of $3.00 and the associated warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $3.00, the ratchet provision in the October 2010 Notes and January 2011 Notes was triggered, with the result that the conversion price of such notes was lowered from $9.00 to $3.00, the exercise price of the associated warrants was lowered from $9.00 to $3.00 per share, and the number of shares underlying such notes and warrants was proportionately increased.

The Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2011, between the Company and Paul Buck, as administrative agent for the secured parties (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”), which replaced the existing security agreement from 2010, and the corresponding security interest terminate (1) with respect to the October 2010 Notes, if and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of October 2010 Notes issued have converted their notes into shares of common stock and, (2) with respect to the January 2011 Notes and the October 2011 Notes (defined below), if and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of January 2011 Notes and October 2011 Notes (on a combined basis) have converted their notes.

On June 1, 2012, the Company, having received on or prior to such date the consent of the Majority Holders of the October 2010 and January 2011 Notes, amended all of the October 2010 Notes and the January 2011 Notes to add a mandatory conversion provision to the terms of such notes.  Under that provision, the October 2010 Notes and January 2011 Notes would be automatically converted upon the closing of a public offering by the Company of shares of its securities with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $3 million.  If the public offering price were less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price would be adjusted to match the public offering price.  Pursuant to the agreements amending the October 2010 Notes and January 2011 Notes, which superseded the Amendment and Conversion Agreements, the exercise price of the warrants that were issued in connection with the notes would be adjusted to match such public offering price, if such price were lower than the exercise price then in effect. The warrants were also amended to remove the full-ratchet provision from the warrants for securities offerings occurring after any such public offering.  The Company agreed to issue to each holder of the October 2010 and January 2011 Notes, as consideration for the above and, warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 100% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of his or her notes.  These warrants would be issued on or within 10 business days after any public offering.

The Company evaluated the agreements amending the October 2010 Notes and January 2011 Notes (which superseded the Amendment and Conversion Agreements) as of September 30, 2012, under ASC 470. The Company noted the change in terms did not constitute a substantial modification under ASC470.

The consents to the 2012 Bridge Financing obtained from holders of previously outstanding convertible promissory notes have taken effect, since the Company has raised more than $1.35 million in the 2012 Bridge Financing. Such consents had been given pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Consent, Note Amendment and Warrant Forfeiture Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012 (the “Consent Agreement”), between the Company and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding (“Majority Holders”) of each tranche of the Company’s secured convertible promissory notes issued in October and November 2010 (the “October 2010 Notes”), secured convertible promissory notes issued between January and April 2011 (the “January 2011 Notes”), secured convertible promissory notes issued between October 2011 and January 2012 (the “October 2011 Notes”) and an unsecured convertible promissory note issued in February 2012 (the “February 2012 Note”). As a result, all of such notes were amended to (a) extend the maturity date of October 1, 2013, (b) set the conversion price at $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the notes and (c) remove full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition, the holders forfeited the warrants they received in connection with the issuance of the notes, and consented to the 2012 Bridge Financing, the issuance of the October 2012 Notes and to the subordination of their notes to these October 2012 Notes.

The Company evaluated the Consent Agreement, effective November 28, 2012 under ASC 470-50-40 “Extinguishments of Debt” (“ASC 470”). ASC 470 requires modifications to debt instruments to be evaluated to assess whether the modifications are considered “substantial modifications”. A substantial modification of terms shall be accounted for like an extinguishment. For extinguished debt, a difference between the re-acquisition price and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt shall be recognized currently in income of the period of extinguishment as losses or gains. The Company noted the change in terms per the Consent Agreement, met the criteria for substantial modification under ASC 470, and accordingly treated the modification as extinguishment of the original convertible notes, replaced by the new convertible notes under the modified terms. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $466,300 during the first quarter ended December 31, 2012 of fiscal 2013.

Initially, the October 2011 Notes were to mature one year from the date of issuance (subject to earlier conversion or prepayment), earn interest equal to 9% per year with interest payable at maturity, be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.00, be secured by a second position security interest in the Company’s assets that is pari passu with the interest recently granted to the holders of the January 2011 Notes, be subordinated in all respects to the Company’s obligations under its October 2010 Notes and the related guaranties issued to certain investors by SAIL Venture Partners, L.P. be are pari passu to the obligations under the January 2011 Notes.  The second position security interest is governed by the Amended and Restated Security Agreement.

The conversion price of the October 2011 Notes was subject to adjustment upon (1) the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (2) the issuance of cash dividends and distributions on the common stock; (3) the distribution of other capital stock, indebtedness or other non-cash assets; and (4) the completion of a financing at a price below the conversion price then in effect.  At the closing of a public offering by the Company of shares of its common stock and/or other securities with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10 million (the “Qualified Offering”), each 2011 Bridge Note would be either redeemed or converted (in whole or in part) at a conversion price equal to the lesser of the public offering price or the conversion price then in effect, with the choice between redemption and conversion being at the sole option of the holder. The October 2011 Notes can be declared due and payable upon an event of default, defined in the October 2011 Notes to occur, among other things, if the Company fails to pay principal and interest when due, in the case of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or if the Company fails to perform any covenant or agreement as required by the 2011 Bridge Note or materially breaches any representation or warranty in the 2011 Bridge Note or the 2011 Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement.

The warrants related to the October 2011 Notes were to expire five years from the date of issuance and were exercisable for shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.00. Exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise were subject to adjustment (1) upon the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (2) in case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in capital stock and (3) upon the completion of a financing at a price below the exercise price then in effect (including the Qualified Offering), except that subsequent to the Qualified Offering, the exercise price would not be adjusted for any further financings.  The warrants contained a cashless exercise provision.

With the exception of each holder’s option to redeem or convert their 2011 Bridge Note at the closing of the Qualified Offering, any provision of the October 2011 Notes or related warrants can be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of such notes outstanding. Any such majority consent will affect all October 2011 Notes or warrants, as the case may be, and will be binding on the Company and all holders of the October 2011 Notes or warrants.  Each holder’s option to redeem or convert the 2011 Bridge Note at the closing of the Qualified Offering cannot be amended, waived or modified without the written consent of the Company and such holder and such amendment, waiver or modification will be binding only on the Company and such holder.

The Amended and Restated Security Agreement and the corresponding security interest terminate (1) with respect to the October 2010 Notes, if and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of October 2010 Notes issued have converted their notes into shares of common stock and (2) with respect to the January 2011 Notes and 2011 Bridge Notes, if and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of January 2011 Notes and October 2011 Notes (on a combined basis) have converted their notes.

On June 1, 2012, the Company, having received on or prior to such date the consent of holders of October 2011 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,860,000 (out of a total outstanding aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000), amended such notes to add a mandatory conversion provision to the terms of such notes.  Under that provision, the October 2011 Notes would be automatically converted upon the closing of a public offering by the Company of shares of its securities with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $3 million (except for October 2011 Notes in the aggregate amount of $50,000 which were not subject to the mandatory conversion requirement upon a $3 million public offering, but rather a $5 million public offering).  If the public offering price were less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price would be adjusted to match the public offering price.  Pursuant to the agreements amending the October 2011 Notes, the exercise price of the warrants that were issued in connection with the notes would be adjusted to match such public offering price, if such price were lower than the exercise price then in effect. The warrants were also amended to remove the full-ratchet provision from the warrants for securities offerings occurring after any such public offering.  The Company agreed to issue to each holder of the October 2011 Notes who executed the agreements, as consideration for the above, warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of his or her notes.  These warrants would be issued on or within 10 business days after any public offering.

On October 19, 2012 the original 2012 Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement in connection with the 2012 Bridge Financing was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement”) thereby extending the period for closing the sale of August 2012 Bridge Notes from October 15, 2012 to November 30, 2012. Additionally, the revised notes (“October 2012 Notes”) eliminated the mandatory conversion provision (upon a subsequent equity financing) included in the August 2012 Bridge Notes at the request of a prospective investor. Otherwise the October 2012 Bridge Notes have substantially the same terms as the August 2012 Notes.

The Amended and Restated Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement provided for the issuance and sale of Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000, in one or multiple closings to occur no later than November 30, 2012. Additionally this amended and restated agreement also provided for the reissuance and replacement of five August 2012 Notes with the revised October 2012 Notes. The Amended and Restated Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company and the holders of the Bridge Notes will enter into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the resale of the shares underlying the August 2012 Bridge Notes.

The October 2012 Notes mature on the later of October 1, 2013 or one year from the date of issuance (subject to earlier conversion or prepayment), earn interest at a rate of 9% per year with interest payable at maturity, are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.04718 and are secured by a first position security interest in the Company’s assets, with the security interest of all previously outstanding convertible promissory notes subordinated. The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon (1) the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (2) the issuance of cash dividends and distributions on the common stock; and (3) the distribution of other capital stock, indebtedness or other non-cash assets. The October 2012 Notes are convertible at any time at the option of their holders and can be declared due and payable upon an event of default, defined in the October 2012 Notes to occur, among other things, if the Company fails to pay principal and interest when due, in the case of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or if the Company fails to perform any covenant or agreement as required by the October 2012 Notes or materially breaches any representation or warranty in the October 2012 Notes or the Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement. Among the restrictive covenants imposed on the Company pursuant to the Bridge Financing Purchase Agreement is a covenant not to borrow, guaranty or otherwise incur indebtedness that is senior or pari passu with the October 2012 Bridge Notes in excess of $250,000, and a covenant not to effect a merger, reorganization, or sell, exclusively license or lease, or otherwise dispose of any assets of the Company with a value in excess of $20,000, other than in the ordinary course of business.

The Company issued October 2012 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million. Furthermore, the consents to the 2012 Bridge Financing obtained from holders of previously outstanding convertible promissory notes have taken effect, since the Company raised more than $1.35 million in the 2012 Bridge Financing. Such consents had been given pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Consent, Note Amendment and Warrant Forfeiture Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012 (the “Consent Agreement”), between the Company and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding (“Majority Holders”) of each tranche of the Company’s secured convertible promissory notes issued in October and November 2010 (the “October 2010 Notes”), secured convertible promissory notes issued between January and April 2011 (the “January 2011 Notes”), secured convertible promissory notes issued between October 2011 and January 2012 (the “October 2011 Notes”) and an unsecured convertible promissory note issued in February 2012 (the “February 2012 Note”). As a result, all of such notes were amended to (a) extend the maturity date of October 1, 2013, (b) set the conversion price at $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the notes and (c) remove full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition, the holders forfeited the warrants they received in connection with the issuance of the notes, and consented to the 2012 Bridge Financing, the issuance of the October 2012 Notes and to the subordination of their notes to these October 2012 Notes.

The October 2012 Bridge Notes are secured by a first position security interest in the Company’s assets, with the security interest of all previously outstanding convertible promissory notes subordinated. Holders of the October 2010 Notes would hold a second position security interest and holders of the January 2011 and October 2011 Notes would hold a third position security interest, in the assets of the Company. The security interests relating to all such notes will be governed by the second amended and restated security agreement, dated as of August 16, 2012, between the Company and David Jones, as administrative agent for the secured parties (the “Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement”), which replaces the security agreement entered into in September 2011. Until his resignation from the Board on November 30, 2012, David Jones was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and a limited partner and former managing partner of SAIL Venture Partners LP.

The Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement and the corresponding security interest terminate upon the earlier of (a) repayment of the notes and (b)(1) with respect to the August 2012 Bridge Notes, if and when the Majority Holders of August 2012 Bridge Notes have converted their notes into shares of common stock, (2) with respect to the October 2010 Notes, if and when the Majority Holders of October 2010 Notes have converted their notes into shares of common stock and (3) with respect to the January 2011 and October 2011 Notes, if and when holders of the Majority Holders of January 2011 and October 2011 Notes (on a combined basis) have converted their notes.

The agreement also provides that the Company and the holders of the August 2012 Bridge Notes will enter into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the resale of the shares underlying the August 2012 Bridge Notes.

As of March 31, 2013 the majority of the October 2012 Notes had converted their notes to shares of common stock, consequently pursuant to section 7.13 of the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated August 16, 2012, the security interest for the October 2012 Notes is terminated.

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature for the August 2012 Bridge Notes, in accordance with FASB ASC 470-20. The Company measures the embedded beneficial conversion feature by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature to additional paid-in capital.  Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible.  A beneficial conversion feature totaling $400,000 was recorded as loan discount for fiscal year 2012.  The loan discount is amortized over the life of the convertible note. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, $637,200 of amortization of loan discount was recorded as interest expense.

The Company did not record a beneficial conversion feature for the October 2012 Bridge Notes as a very low volume of shares traded on the open market during the period from October 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012, the date of the closing of the 2012 Bridge Financing. Management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $13,800 worth of stock was traded on 9 of 42 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.76 to $0.83. The contemporaneous bridge financing of $2 million of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“October 2012 Notes”) with a conversion price of $0.04718 involving accredited third party investors was considered a better determinant of fair value. Consequently, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the October 2012 Notes at $0.04718 represented a better determinant of fair value of the convertible notes and therefore there was no beneficial conversion feature associated with the October 2012 Notes.

From January 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013 October 2012 Notes in the aggregate amount of $1,077,300 plus interest thereon converted to 23,487,687 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.04718 per share. Additionally an October 2010 Note of $250,000 plus interest thereon and six January 2011 Notes in aggregate $1,000,000 plus interest thereon converted to 1,469,816 shares of common stock at a conversion price $1.00 per share. For the six months ended March 31, 2013 $637,200 of amortization of loan discount was recorded as interest expense.

As of March 31, 2013 outstanding senior subordinated convertible promissory notes (October 2010 Notes) were $2,773,900 (including $23,900 corresponding to accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanged notes) and debt discount was $0. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 the Company amortized no debt discount.

As of March 31, 2013 outstanding subordinated secured convertible promissory notes (January 2011 Notes) were $1,500,000 and debt discount was $0. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 the Company amortized no debt discount.

As of March 31, 2013 outstanding subordinated secured convertible promissory notes (October 2011 Notes) were $2,000,000 and debt discount was $0. During the six months ended, March 31, 2013 the Company amortized $277,100 of the debt discount.

As March 31, 2013 outstanding unsecured convertible promissory notes (Unsecured Bridge Notes) were $90,000 and debt discount was $0. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 the Company amortized $15,000 of the debt discount.

As of March 31, 2013 outstanding Unsecured convertible promissory note (October 2012) promissory notes (October 2012 Bridge Notes) were $895,800 and debt discount was $25,100. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 the Company amortized $345,100 of the debt discount.

The combined outstanding senior secured, subordinated secured and unsecured (including October 2012 Notes whose security has terminated) convertible promissory notes as of March 31, 2013 were $7,259,700 and debt discounts were $25,100. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 the Company amortized $637,200 of the debt discount.

As a condition of the November 28, 2012 closing of the 2012 Bridge Financing, the Company also entered into Employment Compensation Forfeiture and Exchange Agreements (“Forfeiture and Exchange Agreements”) with three of its executive officers, George Carpenter, Paul Buck and Michael Darkoch. Pursuant to these agreements, the executives agreed to waive receipt of and release the Company from the payment of 50% of their salaries accrued from August 31, 2010 to September 30, 2012 (amount waived was $56,250 for George Carpenter, $66,083 for Paul Buck and $43,333 for Michael Darkoch), in consideration for which the Company agreed to issue to such executives a certain number of shares of its common stock (56,250 for George Carpenter, 66,083 for Paul Buck and 43,333 for Michael Darkoch). Any remaining accrued salary remains outstanding and shall be paid (i) from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors to the extent the Board of Directors determines that such payment will not jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; or (ii) upon the closing of any single financing transaction (including a single financing transaction that contemplates multiple closings) in which the Company receives proceeds of $5 million or more. Additionally, where applicable, the executives agreed to waive receipt of and release the Company from the payment of any previously approved bonus award. Under the agreements, the Company agreed to indemnify the executives for all federal and state income tax payable and actually paid by the executive related directly to the receipt of the common stock, the per share value of which is not expected to be more than the conversion price of the October 2012 Notes which is $0.04718 per share.

From January 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013 the following noteholders have converted their notes into shares of common stock.

Stock-Option Plan

On August 3, 2006, CNS California adopted the CNS California 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan provides for the issuance of awards in the form of restricted shares, stock options (which may constitute incentive stock options (ISO) or non-statutory stock options (NSO), stock appreciation rights and stock unit grants to eligible employees, directors and consultants and is administered by the board of directors. A total of 333,334 shares of stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan.  

 The 2006 Plan initially provided that in any calendar year, no eligible employee or director shall be granted an award to purchase more than 100,000 shares of stock. The option price for each share of stock subject to an option shall be (i) no less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the date the option is granted, if the option is an ISO, or (ii) no less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted, if the option is a NSO; provided, however, if the option is an ISO granted to an eligible employee who is a 10% shareholder, the option price for each share of stock subject to such ISO shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date such ISO is granted. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant, except for ISOs granted to an eligible employee who is a 10% shareholder, in which case the maximum term is five years from the date of grant. ISOs may be granted only to eligible employees.

On March 3, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan which increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 plan from 333,334 to 666,667 shares of stock. The amendment also increased the limit on shares issued within a calendar year to any eligible employee or director from 100,000 to 133,333 shares of stock. The amendment was approved by shareholders at the annual meeting held on April 27, 2010.

On March 3, 2010, the Board of Directors also approved the grant of 305,000 options to staff members, directors, advisors and consultants, of which 288,334 were in fact granted.  For staff members the options will vest equally over a 48 month period while for directors, advisors and consultants the options will vest equally over a 36 month period.  The effective grant date for accredited investors was March 3, 2010 and the exercise price of $16.50 per share was based on the quoted closing share price of the Company’s stock at the time of grant.  For non-accredited investors the grant date will be determined at some time after obtaining a permit from the State of California allowing the granting of options to non-accredited investors.  This permit was granted by the State of California in July 2010.  No options have been granted to non-accredited investors at this time.

On March 11, 2011, the Board of Directors also approved an additional grant of 15,834 options to staff members of the Company.  The options will vest equally over a 48 month period.  The effective grant date for these accredited investors was March 11, 2011 and the exercise price of $14.10 per share was based on the quoted closing share price of the Company’s stock on March 11, 2011.

On March 22, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the CNS Response, Inc. 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”), reserved 333,334 shares of stock for issuance and approved the grant of options to purchase 42,670 shares of common stock pursuant to such plan at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, including options to purchase 8,334 shares to each of our directors Zachary McAdoo and Maurice DeWald. The 2012 Plan will be submitted for approval to our stockholders at our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Absent stockholder approval, the options will be cancelled and the 2012 Plan will not become effective.

On December 10, 2012, the Board approved the amendment of the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”) to increase the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan from 333,334 shares to 5,500,000 shares and granted to each of its three existing members as well as to each of the four New Board Members options to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the 2012 Plan at an exercise price of $0.04718 per share. The options vest evenly over 36 months starting from the date of grant. The Board furthermore granted to each of the five former directors who had departed the Board effective November 30, 2012, (i.e., George Carpenter, Henry Harbin, George Kallins, David Jones, and Maurice DeWald), options to purchase 25,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the 2012 Plan at an exercise price of $0.04718 per share. These options to former directors are fully vested. Finally, the Board granted to the Company’s executive officers options to purchase shares of its common stock pursuant to the 2012 Plan at an exercise price of $0.04718 per share as follows: George Carpenter 1,200,000 shares, Paul Buck 1,400,000 shares and Michael Darkoch 920,000 shares. These options vest in increments of 12.5% at the beginning of each quarter starting from the date of grant. Absent stockholder approval, the options will be cancelled and the 2012 Plan will not become effective.

Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period October 1, 2012 through to December 10, 2012, the date of the option grant, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $15,000 worth of stock was traded on 11 of 48 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.76 to $0.83. In a contemporaneous transaction, Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“October 2012 Notes”) with a conversion price of $0.04718 were purchased by accredited third party investors. Given the very low volume of stock which was not actively traded, compared to the volume of October 2012 Notes purchased, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the October 2012 Notes at $0.04718 represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock and the options granted on December 10, 2012.

On January 14, 2013, the Board granted options to purchase 1,960,000 shares of common stock to members of staff and 1,600,000 share of common stock to key consultants. The options granted to staff vest evenly over 48 months starting on the date of grant. The options granted to consultants vest evenly over 36 months starting on the date of grant. All these options have an exercise price of $0.04718 per share. Absent stockholder approval, the options will be cancelled and the 2012 Plan will not become effective.

Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period October 1, 2012 through to January 14, 2013, the date of the option grant, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $36,700 worth of stock was traded on 21 of 50 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.49 to $2.50. There had been a recent transaction which closed on November 30, 2012 whereby $2 million of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“October 2012 Notes”) with a conversion price of $0.04718 were purchased by accredited third party investors. Given the very low volume of stock which was not actively traded, compared to the volume of October 2012 Notes purchased, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the October 2012 Notes at $0.04718 represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock and the options granted on January 14, 2013.

On March 26, 2013, the Board approved the amendment of the Company’s 2012 Plan to increase the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan from 5,500,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares. The Board also granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock to Thomas Tierney upon his election to be Chairman of the Board of Directors. These options granted to Mr. Tierney vest evenly over 36 months starting on the date of grant and have an exercise price of $0.25 per share. Absent stockholder approval, the options will be cancelled and the 2012 Plan will not become effective.

Based on the volume of shares traded on the open market, during the period January 1, 2013 through to March 26, 2013, the date of the option grant, management judged that the Company’s stock was not actively traded as only $283,400 worth of stock was traded on 22 of 58 trading days during this period at prices ranging from $0.46 to $0.83. There was a contemporaneous transaction whereby $695,000 worth of a $2.5 million private placement offering of common stock at a price of $0.25 per share were purchased by accredited third party investors. Given the low volume of stock which was not actively traded, compared to the volume of the private placement of common stock, management’s judgment was that the pricing of the private placement of common stock at $0.25 per share represented a better determinant of fair value of the Company’s common stock and the options granted on March 26, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, 70,825 options were exercised and there were 501,924 options and 6,132 restricted shares outstanding under the amended 2006 Plan leaving 87,786 shares which will not be issued as the 2006 Plan is frozen. 9,247,670 options have been issued under the 2012 Plan, of which none have been exercised and 5,752,330 remain available for issuance subject to shareholder approval of the 2012 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the employees’ or service provider’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense included in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
