On February 1, 2008, Isabel Moeller, sister of our Chief Executive Officer, Klaus Moeller, loaned $310,000 to the Company at an interest rate equal to 8% per annum. The funds were borrowed from Ms. Moeller in order to reduce outstanding obligations due to Genius Products, Inc. at that time. Subsequent agreements extended the maturity date to January 15, 2015 and reduced the stated interest rate to six (6%) percent per annum. Repayments on the principal balance were made in the aggregate of $24,000 during February and April 2011. On April 1, 2011, Ms. Moeller agreed to convert $200,000 of the outstanding balance to shares of common stock of the Company. On March 31, 2012, Ms. Moeller agreed to convert the remaining balance of outstanding principal and interest, in the amount of $173,385, to shares of common stock of the Company.

The note is paid in full.

 

On March 31, 2011, four of the Company’s officers agreed to convert accrued but unpaid salaries through December 31, 2010 to subordinated long term notes payable. In February 2011, as a result of an agreement by each of the four officers to retroactively decrease the amount of the annual salary for 2010 from $125,000 per annum per officer to $80,000, the amount of the notes were reduced to an aggregate of $1,620,137. In March 2012, the officers agreed to convert the aggregate sum of $1,572,161 to shares of common stock of the Company. The remaining note, with a principal balance of $159,753, has a maturity of January 15, 2015 and a stated interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the interest recorded for this notes was $3,088 and $2,472, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, interest expense was recorded in the amounts $6,146 and $28,511, respectively. The decrease in expense was due to conversion of a majority of the outstanding balance to common stock on March 31, 2012.
