More DD: Issuances of Preferred Stock:
On January 5, 2004, The Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares of designated Series A preferred stock. Under the terms of the designation, these Series A shares are not entitled to dividends. The shares are convertible, at the option of the holder, into three times as many common shares as Series A, preferred that are held. There are no liquidation rights or preferences to Series A, preferred stock holders as compared to any other class of stock. These shares are non-voting, however, the holders, as a class may elect two directors. In February 2004, the Company announced the addition of two new outside directors to the Board of Directors as previously authorized.
On January 5, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,500,000 of the 4,000,000 designated Series A preferred stock in exchange for the conversion of $464,005 of indebtedness owed to the Company’s president of the Company. The $464,005 indebtedness comprised the entire $52,510 of loan payable - related party and $411,495 of Note Payable - related party balances as recorded at December 31, 2003 (See Note 5 - Debt). The $411,495 note indebtedness had been acquired by the president in a private transaction from a former officer. In connection with the forgiveness of the note principal, the Company’s president forgave the related accrued interest totaling $64,527 in a separate transaction on the same date. As a result, the Company has treated this as a contribution of capital at the date of debt forgiveness by recording additional paid in capital.
In accordance with APB 26, paragraph 20 and Practice Alert Bulletin 2000-1, the Company has evaluated that the $480,995 excess of the value of the preferred stock, which was computed based on the conversion ratio and quoted trade price of the common stock on the settlement date, over the debt qualified as compensation expense and was recorded as such as of June 30, 2004 with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Due to the valuation method of the preferred stock, there was no remaining value for a beneficial conversion feature.
On January 5, 2004, the Board approved the issuance of the remaining 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to three consultants for services performed in relation to the filing for the Company to become a Business Development Company as discussed previously. The 500,000 shares were issued as follows: 200,000 shares to one consultant for consulting services rendered, 200,000 shares to one consultant for consulting services rendered and 100,000 shares to one attorney for legal services rendered.
In accordance with FAS 123, the Company has valued the preferred stock, based on the conversion rate and quoted trade price of the common stock on the grant date, at $135,000 which was recorded in operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Due to the valuation method of the preferred stock, there was no remaining value for a beneficial conversion feature.
