Perhaps you should have read that link you posted, "In June 2008, CD Financial, LLC, an affiliate of CDS, converted notes for $750,000 and received 11.1 million shares of common stock."
Converted notes for $750k in June of 2008.
Or you could read their 10K filing, "We issued in December 2007, a convertible note to CD Financial LLC (“CD”) for $250,000. The note carried 8 percent interest and was due on April 16, 2008. The note was refinanced in April at the time CD lent us additional $500,000. The combined note was converted in June 2008 to 11.2 million shares."
