In order to get the 1-year agreement in place, the major supplier agreed to loan the money required to finalize the Agreement to the Company (see next paragraph). On December 2, 2011, the Company finalized the Severance, Confidentiality and Nondisclosure agreement with the former consultant for $1,237,500 in cash and 300,000 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock were valued at $0.59, the market price on the day the agreement was made for total value of $177,000. The total amount associated with the agreement, $1,414,500, was set up as a Non-compete Agreement asset and is currently being amortized over the 12 month term of the agreement. As of January 31, 2012, $235,750 of the costs associated with the Agreement have been expensed and $1,178,750 remain as a current asset.
In December 2011, the Company entered into a $1,200,000 unsecured promissory note with JAK Financial LLC to fund the payment of a Severance, Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement with a former consultant.
