Announcements, explained

Each one in plain English, with the numbers worked through for a shareholder.

1 June 2015capital raising announcement▼ Bad

On May 26, 2015 the company issued a convertible note with a $285,000 face value to an accredited investor for $200,000, maturing in six months with no interest unless in default. After a default, it converts at a 20% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bids in the prior 20 trading days (up to 15% more discount in certain defaults). Defaults include late SEC filings or loss of OTCQB quotation, and then the note carries 22% interest. The terms are unusually costly relative to the cash received ($85,000 above the purchase price); that comparison is an inference from the stated figures.

3 Oct 2014capital raising announcement▲ Good

The company reported selling 120,000 shares at $2.50 each, plus warrants for 139,200 shares at $1.50 expiring December 31, 2015, to two accredited investors in August and September 2014, for $300,000. A press release says it has raised $3.1 million in total since December 2013.

What it means for a shareholder

120,000 new shares at $2.50 to raise about $300,000. That's 0.379% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 0.379% smaller. If you held $1,000 of shares (400 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00127% to 0.00126% of the company. To keep it you'd need 2 more shares - about $5 at the issue price.
