April 2015 Note:

On April 29, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note to an unaffiliated individual  in the amount of $200,000 (the “April 2015  Note”).  Interest accrues on the April 2015 Note at a rate of 15% per annum. On the first anniversary of the April 2015 Note, the Company shall pay all then accrued interest. Thereafter, the Company shall make eight (8) equal payments of principal together with accrued interest, quarterly in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2016 and continuing on the same day of each October, January, April and July thereafter until paid in full.  All outstanding principal and any accumulated unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the third anniversary of note.

At the election of the holder of the April 2015  Note, at any time prior to payment or prepayment of the April 2015  Note in full, all principal and accrued interest under the April 2015  Note may be converted in whole, but not in part, into the Company’s securities. For each dollar converted, the holder of the April 2015  Note shall receive two shares of common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase 1.33 shares (post Reverse Split) of common stock at $0.75 per share (post Reverse Split).

During the nine months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $22,521 and $0, respectively, on this note.  As of February 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015 the outstanding principal balance on the Convertible Note was $200,000 and the Company had accrued interest in the amount of $25,151 and $2,630, respectively, on this note.

The Company calculated the fair value of the beneficial conversion features embedded in the April 2015 Note via the intrinsic value method. The Company also calculates the fair value of the detachable warrants offered with the April 2015 Note via the Black-Scholes valuation method.  The value of the conversion feature and the detachable warrants are considered discounts to the April 2015 Note, to the extent the aggregate value of the warrants and conversion features do not exceed the face value thereof.
