The Company used the proceeds of the purchase price received from Mr. Sheerr to reduce the remaining principal amount of the original loan by an amount equal to $500,000. The principal amount was reduced to approximately $966,667 at October 31, 2013. The Company was obligated to pay monthly interest equal to 10% per annum calculated on a 360 day year of the outstanding loan balance.

As of October 31, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Sheerr to leaseback the equipment and furniture that was sold by the Company to Mr. Sheerr on October 31, 2013. The lease is for a term of 60 months and the Company is obligated to pay approximately $7,500 per month for the term of the lease. The Company has an option to extend the lease for an additional two year period. The transactions described have been accounted for as a sale-leaseback transaction. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of assets of approximately $139,000, which is the amount of the gain on sale in excess of present value of the future lease payments with the remainder of approximately $322,000 gain on sales to be recognized in proportion to the related gross rental charged to expense over the term of the lease, 60 months. The current portion of $72,000 deferred gain was reflected in accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $250,000 is reflected in other liabilities – long-term in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2014. The current portion of $72,000 deferred gain is reflected in accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $197,000 is reflected in other liabilities – long-term in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2015.

On July 30, 2012, a Convertible Senior Promissory Note was executed by and between Shoreline Memory, Inc. (“Shoreline”) and the Company whereby the Company could lend up to $1,500,000 to Shoreline in exchange for interest payments at prime plus 3.0% and the right to convert the amount outstanding into common stock of Shoreline on or before its maturity date. Each time the Company advanced money under the note, the Company was granted 1% of the outstanding Common Stock of Shoreline for every $100,000 advanced up to a maximum of 15%. This was in addition to the 15% allowable under the conversion of the note and the warrant to acquire 30% of Shoreline common stock. The conversion is at the rate of 1% of the outstanding common stock for each $100,000 converted up to a maximum of 15%. This note had a maturity date of July 30, 2015. At such time Shoreline would have had to repay the note or the Company would have had to convert the note into Common Stock. The note was secured by all the assets of Shoreline and Shoreline Capital Management Ltd. (“Shoreline Capital”) as guarantor. Also executed with the note was a warrant to purchase up to 30% of the outstanding common stock of Shoreline at the time of exercise, which the warrant expires September 28, 2018. The warrant prescribed a formula to determine the price per share at the time of exercise. If all the amounts under the note were advanced and converted and the full warrant was exercised, the Company would have owned 60% of the outstanding common stock of Shoreline. The note was executed simultaneously with a Master Services Agreement that details the parameters under which the Company and Shoreline would have fulfilled orders from Shoreline’s primary customer. On July 31, 2012, the Company advanced $375,000 under the note and an additional $375,000 on August 1, 2012. The purpose of the loan was to fund startup expenses and to prepay initial orders. On February 19, 2013, the Company received $50,000 from Shoreline and, on February 22, 2013, the Company received an additional $200,000 from Shoreline as a partial repayment of their loan. On March 27, 2013, the Company reached an agreement to terminate its relationship with Shoreline. At closing, the Company received an additional $225,000 as a partial repayment of the loan in connection with the termination of all agreements with Shoreline. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 6% and is guaranteed by Shoreline Memory, Inc., Shoreline Capital Management Ltd and Trevor Folk. All agreements with Shoreline have been terminated with the exception of the amended and restated promissory note. The remaining $275,000 was scheduled to be repaid in accordance with the amended and restated promissory note on July 31, 2013. Shoreline Memory defaulted on the note. The Company set up an allowance for the total $275,000 balance remaining on the amended and restated promissory note at July 31, 2013. During the quarter ended October 31, 2013 the Company agreed to settle the amount due on the defaulted note for approximately $162,000. The funds were received in escrow on October 31, 2013 and forwarded to the Company on November 1, 2013.

On November 6, 2013, the Company entered into a new financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. to replace an existing loan agreement. The Financing Agreement provides for a revolving loan with a maximum borrowing capacity of $3,500,000. The loans under the Financing Agreement mature on November 30, 2016 unless such Financing Agreement is either earlier terminated or renewed. Loans outstanding under the Financing Agreement bear interest at a rate of the Prime Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 3.25% (the “Effective Rate”) or on Over-advances (as defined in the Financing Agreement), if any, at a rate of the Effective Rate plus 3%. The Financing Agreement contains other financial and restrictive covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, guarantee obligations, sell assets, make loans, enter into mergers and acquisition transactions and declare or make dividends. Borrowings under the Financing Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. On April 29, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Financing Agreement. The Amendment provides for advances against inventory balances based on prescribed formulas of raw materials and finished goods. The maximum borrowing capacity remains at $3,500,000. Borrowings at January 31, 2015 totaled approximately $2,461,000 and there was approximately $142,000 of additional availability on that date.

On July 15, 2014, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement governing the issuance of $750,000 aggregate principal amount of Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants. The Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants were issued on July 15, 2014.  The Company issued $600,000 aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Notes to certain Institutional investors and $150,000 aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Notes to certain members of Management. The Bridge Notes, the initial maturity date of which was October 15, 2014 (which was subject to a three-month extension at the option of the holders that occurred; see below), are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price for Institutional Investors is $2.50 per share (which was subsequently reduced; see below), and the initial conversion price for Management is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the Purchase Agreement, $2.94. The Bridge Notes are secured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 8% per year. The Bridge Warrants are exercisable for five years after the closing date of the Purchase Agreement, or July 15, 2019. For each $1,000 of principal amount of Bridge Notes, the holder received 1,200 Bridge Warrants, each exercisable for the purchase of one share of the Company’s common stock. Each holder is entitled to exercise one-third of all Bridge Warrants received at an exercise price of $3.00, one-third of all Bridge Warrants received at an exercise price of $3.50, and one-third of all Bridge Warrants received at an exercise price that is equal to the closing price on the closing date of the Purchase Agreement, $2.94. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to register for re-sale the shares underlying the Bridge Notes and the Bridge Warrants.

On October 15, 2014, the original maturity date of the Bridge Notes, the maturity date of the Bridge Notes was extended to January 15, 2015 for all holders of the Bridge Notes. On November 17, 2014 the Company closed the sale of 600,000 shares of its Series A Stock, which resulted in the reduction of the conversion price of the Bridge Notes held by the institutional investors to $2.00 from $2.50 to equal the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock (see below). In addition, two additional 90-day extensions were provided to the institutional investors, which could extend the final maturity date to July 15, 2015. The extensions expired on January 15, 2015 and at the quarter ended January 31, 2015 the Bridge Notes were in default. The Company paid off approximately $42,500 of the notes and received extensions from all Bridge note holders except for one holder of an $80,000 Bridge Note, which extend the maturity date to July 15, 2015 from the Bridge Note holders prior to this filing. The Company continues to accrue interest on the Bridges Notes. In the event the Bridge Notes are converted to equity, their incremental fair value will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has also advised Rosenthal and Rosenthal, Inc. of the default on the Bridge Notes which is a default under our finance agreement.

The pricing model the Company used for determining fair values of the Bridge Warrants is the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, dividend yields, market prices and volatilities. The risk-free interest rate used of 1.26% is based on the rate of U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the Bridge Warrants. Expected dividend yield assumes the current dividend rate of zero. Expected volatility of approximately 100% was calculated using the daily closing price over a five-year period of the Company’s Common Stock.

The value of the Bridge Warrants was derived and used as a basis to allocate the proceeds received between the Bridge Warrants and Bridge Notes. The proportionate value ascribed to the Bridge Warrants amounted to approximately $562,000 and was reflected as a discount on notes payable. Further the Company estimated a value of beneficial conversion feature of approximately $188,000 (limited to the amount of proceeds allocated to the notes payable) and reflected such as an additional discount on the bridge notes. The discount on notes payable is being amortized using the straight line amortization over ninety days. This resulted in a non-cash interest charge of approximately $617,000 in the quarter ended October 31, 2014 and approximately $133,000 in this year’s fiscal first quarter ended July 31, 2014.
