Note 13 – Stockholders’ Deficit

Preferred Stock

The Company has 5,000,000 shares, par value $0.01, of preferred stock authorized. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding shares of preferred stock consisting of shares of its Series I-1 Preferred Stock and shares of Series I-2 Preferred Stock (both of which are more fully discussed in Note 12), 215 shares of its Series G Preferred Stock, 10 shares of its Series H Preferred Stock and 1,750,000 shares of its Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. On June 28, 2018, 50 shares of the Series H Preferred Stock were converted into 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The rights of the Series F, G, and H preferred stock are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Series G and H preferred stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion. The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $14,625 per share.

On July 20, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to authorize the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of its Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series J Preferred Stock”). On July 23, 2018, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alcimede, of which Seamus Lagan, our Chief Executive Officer, is the sole manager. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued to Alcimede 250,000 shares of the Series J Preferred Stock in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding principal and interest owed by the Company to Alcimede under the Note, dated February 5, 2015, and the cancellation of certain amounts owed by the Company to Alcimede under a consulting agreement between the parties. The total amount of consideration paid by Alcimede to the Company equaled $250,000. Each share of the Series J Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1.00. The conversion price is equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the 10 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. Each holder of the Series J Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock. With respect to a vote of stockholders, no later than September 30, 2018 only, to approve either or both of a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and an increase in the authorized shares of common stock from three billion shares to up to ten billion shares, each share of the Series J Preferred Stock had the whole number of votes equal to 24 shares of common stock. With respect to all other matters, and from and after October 1, 2018, each share of the Series J Preferred Stock is entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which it is then convertible. The full terms of the Series J Preferred Stock are listed in the Certificate of Designations filed as Exhibit 3.16 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 2018.

Stock Options

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded approximately $72,590 and $34,081, respectively, as stock compensation expense from the amortization of stock options issued in prior periods. As of September 30, 2018, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 7.6 years for options outstanding and exercisable. The intrinsic value of options exercisable at September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0. As of September 30, 2018, the remaining expense is approximately $58,796 over the remaining amortization period which is 0.53 years under the Company’s 2007 Equity Plan. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the equivalent lives of the options. The expected life of the options represents the estimated period using the simplified method. The Company has not paid cash dividends on its common stock and no assumption of dividend payment(s) is made in the model.

Warrants

The Company, as part of various debt and equity financing transactions, has issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The following summarizes the information related to warrants issued and the activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2018: 

Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents

The Company has outstanding options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures. Exercise of the options and warrants, and conversions of the convertible preferred stock and debentures could result in substantial dilution of our common stock and a decline in its market price. In addition, the terms of certain of the warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debentures issued by us provide for reductions in the per share exercise prices of the warrants. These terms also provide for reductions in the per share conversion prices of the debentures and preferred stock (if applicable and subject to a floor in certain cases), in the event that we issue common stock or common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the agreements), at an effective exercise/conversion price that is less than the then exercise/conversion prices of the outstanding warrants, preferred stock and debentures. These provisions, as well as the issuances of debentures and preferred stock with conversion prices that vary based upon the price of our common stock on the date of conversion, have resulted in significant dilution of our common stock and have given rise to reverse splits of our common stock.

The following table presents the dilutive effect of our various potential common shares as of September 30, 2018:

As of November 9, 2018, the Company had sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to cover all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
