9.             STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Common Stock - The Company has authorized 20,000,000 common shares with a $0.0001 par value. There were 11,017,388 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 11,017,388 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015.

On October 1, 2014, the Company commenced a non-public equity offering of up to 3,650,807 units at $1.75 per unit (the “Units”).  Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $2.00 per share.  The purchase price for the Units is payable in either cash, conversion of outstanding Series D preferred shares or certain outstanding promissory notes. During the first half of 2015, the Company issued 50,285 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 25,141 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $88,000.

On March 13, 2015 the Company issued 15,000 common shares in exchange for consulting services valued at $25,500.

Preferred Stock - The Company has authorized 4,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a $0.0001 par value.  As holders of any series of preferred stock convert into common shares the preferred shares are no longer outstanding and become available for reissuance.

Series D Preferred Stock - As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 there were 178,924 shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding.

Holders of Series D preferred stock accrue dividends at the rate per annum of $0.24 per share, payable on a quarterly basis. As dividends are accrued and payable quarterly on the Series D preferred stock, the Company paid no dividends during the year ended December 31, 2016 and $31,475 during the year ended December 31, 2015.  As of December 31, 2016 the Company has dividends payable in accrued expenses of $89,000.

The holders of the Series D preferred stock have conversion rights equivalent to such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series D original issue price of $3.00 by the then applicable conversion price. Each Series D Share will convert into one share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder of the Series D Shares or will be converted at the option of the Company at any time the trading price of our common stock is at least $4.50 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The conversion ratio is subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event that the Company issues equity securities at a price equivalent to or less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue.

The holders of Series D preferred stock have a liquidation preference over the holders of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series D preferred stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, on the Series D preferred stock. A liquidation would be deemed to occur upon the happening of customary events, including transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s common stock or assets or a merger, or consolidation. The Company believes that such liquidation events are within its control and therefore the Company has classified the Series D preferred stock in stockholders’ equity.

The holders of Series D preferred stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series D preferred stock entitles the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of the Series D preferred stock are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016.  The fair value of each stock option granted during the year end December 31, 2015 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Significant assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of our stock options included the volatility rate, estimated term of the options, risk-free interest rate and forfeiture rate.  In order to estimate the volatility rate at each issuance date, given that the Company has not established a historical volatility rate as it has minimal trading volume since we began trading in October 2013, management reviewed volatility rates for a number of companies with similar manufacturing operations to arrive at an estimated volatility rate for each option grant.  The term of the options was assumed to be five years, which is the contractual term of the options.  The risk-free interest rate was determined utilizing the treasury rate with a maturity equal to the estimated term of the option grant.  Finally, management assumed a 25% forfeiture rate in 2015 due to Company changes and significant reduction in operations and personnel.

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6,691 and $96,929, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016 there was no unrecognized compensation expense and as of December 31, 2015 there was $6,691 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the issuance of the stock options.
