CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “target”, “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives could be adversely affected by many factors, including, without limitation, the following factors:

 

• the risk of substantial inflation;

• the strength of the United States economy;

• changes in the securities markets;

• events that deprive us of the services of our President, David Loflin;

• whether we are able to obtain adequate capital with which to accomplish our objectives; and

• our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.

 

However, other factors besides those listed above or discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report also could adversely affect our results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, but reflect the present expectations of future events by our management and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.

General

 

We incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 17, 2010, under the name Louisiana Food Company. Our corporate office is located at 17485 Opportunity Drive, Suite E, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70817; our telephone number is (877) 732-2143; our corporate web site is www.louisianafoodcompany.com.

 

It is our company’s objective to focus on developing and commercializing food-related business opportunities in the State of Louisiana, whether eating establishments or Louisiana-based specialty food products. Our company is committed to locating and developing these business opportunities throughout Louisiana and, when appropriate, expanding these business opportunities beyond Louisiana’s borders.

 

Our management believes there to be a multitude of small, locally-owned food businesses throughout Louisiana, the products of which are worthy of national distribution. Our management further believes that we have the opportunity to bring to these locally produced and sold Louisiana-centric specialty food products to the national market, by way of distribution agreements, private label arrangements or acquisition.

 
 

As part of our business strategy, after we have better established the sales and distribution channels of our current lines of specialty food products, we intend to consider acquisitions of existing food-related businesses, as such acquisition opportunities become available to us. There is no current arrangement or understanding between our company and any other company or person with regard to a merger or acquisition transaction.

 

Background

 

South Louisiana, where our company is based, more than any other part of the United States, holds its cuisine near and dear to its heart. The region’s cuisine is the embodiment of the cultures and traditions brought by its settlers from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and Canada and shared, neighbor to neighbor, over hundreds of years.

 

It is in this mysterious intertwining of cultures and traditions that our company’s founder, David Loflin, finds his heritage – he is a Cajun, born and raised in South Louisiana.

 

It seems most have heard of Cajun and Creole cuisine, though few actually are able to recite their respective origins. Simply put, Cajun cuisine is rooted in the kitchens of rural Southern Louisiana and Creole cuisine is rooted in the more sophisticated kitchens of New Orleans. Our company is dedicated to bringing the best foods of Louisiana to its customers in supermarkets, specialty shops and online.

 

Current Status

 

Our packaged dry products and coffee products are currently available through our online store (www.louisianafoodcompany.com) and in retail grocery stores and specialty shops in the Baton Rouge area. During the first calendar quarter of 2012, we intend to place certain of our products with our national distributor.

 

Our sales did not significantly grow during the year ended September 30, 2011, and have not grown since then, due to our lack of significant funds for marketing and due to our having moved packaging facilities from Norco to Baton Rouge. However, through recent financing transactions by which we obtained approximately $75,000, we expect that our second fiscal quarter, the first calendar quarter of 2012, will show moderate growth in product sales, due to our agreement with a national distributor.

 

We have determined to utilize plastic containers for the packaging of all of our packaged dry products and coffee products. The decision to change our packaging was based on the reality that the use of the plastic containers will permit us to reduce our per unit packaging cost by over 50%. In addition, these stackable plastic containers provide extensive flexibility of use in retail displays.

 

Also, the new plastic containers provide our label art work, which, in each case, captures the movement and energy that is South Louisiana, a “venue” for maximum effect.

 

Recent Event

 

In December 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice (“Justice”) issued an opinion that sparked renewed hope for, and interest in, the development of online, intrastate poker in the United States. In fact, prior to Justice’s opinion, the State of Nevada had passed legislation that would allow for companies to offer online poker and the new ruling may allow that state to proceed with an intrastate online poker offering for its citizens. Also, earlier in 2011, the Nevada Gaming Control Board announced that some companies had applied for licenses, but that the Board was holding off until the federal government announced a stance. With the change in Justice’s opinion, that Nevada regulatory body may be able to move forward with offering online intrastate poker to Nevada residents.

 

In response to this circumstance, in January 2012, one of our directors assigned to our company, as a contribution to capital, certain assets useful in the operation of an online poker website; our board of directors accepted such assigned assets, which were not assigned any value for financial reporting purposes.

 

Included in the contributed assets is the website known as TouchPoker.com and the software required to run the online poker operations. Until such time as we obtain the necessary licensing, the TouchPoker.com website will feature free Texas Hold ‘em virtual tables and, currently, is a for-entertainment-only site, legal for all users, including those in the United States.

 

As a Nevada corporation, it is our intention to seek a license for intrastate online poker in one or more jurisdictions. However, we can make no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts in this regard.

 

Our director initiated this action as a way of enhancing shareholder value, while we continue our efforts in developing our specialty food business.

 
 

“Certified” Louisiana

 

Because each of our products is produced locally in Louisiana, we applied for, and have been granted, a license by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to affix, as appropriate, the Department’s “Certified” logos to our products, as follows:

 

• “A Product of Louisiana: Certified”;

• “A Product of Louisiana: Certified Cajun”; and

• “A Product of Louisiana: Certified Creole”.

Labels Capture South Louisiana

 

From the outset, our management has believed that the rich and diverse cultural heritage of South Louisiana would provide a natural source of inspiration for our product labels. As works of art, our product labels capture the movement and energy that is South Louisiana – they are “eye-grabbers”, and retailer and consumer response to the labels has been extremely positive.

 

Value and Convenience

 

Each of our company’s packaged dry products is priced such that a family of four is able to enjoy a delicious, semi-homemade meal for $10 or less. And, in less than 30 minutes, an authentic Cajun or Creole experience is on the table. Additionally, we believe our coffee stands tall against its competition – especially national brands – as the depth of flavor and the smooth finish of our coffee are striking and its price point competitive.

 

Our Competitive Strengths and Weaknesses

 

We believe our company has the following competitive strengths:

 

• Our products are high-quality, good-tasting and affordable;

• We have low overhead costs;

• Our product manufacture, packing and storage costs are included in our office lease; and

• Our online store is easily navigated by our customers and our distributors.

 
 

We believe our company has the following competitive weaknesses:

 

• Our products are new and do not enjoy brand name recognition;

• Our management does not possess experience in the specialty food industry;

• Our lack of a customer base to which to sell our specialty food products;

• Our limited operations;

• Our company possesses limited capital; and

• Our company has limited personnel.

 

Industry Overview

 

Packaged Dry Goods and Sauces . According to National Association for the Specialty Food Trade’s annual State of the Specialty Food Industry 2010, the specialty food industry represented more than $60 billion in U.S. sales, with 80% of these sales being made through retailers, including supermarkets, natural food stores and gourmet shops.

 

Coffee . We believe that the specialty coffee industry will continue to enjoy strong demand for its products. Several factors will contribute to this sustained demand for specialty coffee, including: consumer awareness of specialty coffee, due to its increasing availability; increased quality differentiation over commercial-grade coffees by consumers; and ease of preparation of specialty coffees resulting from the increased use of automatic drip coffee makers and home espresso machines.

 

Product Procurement and Production

 

Packaged Dry Goods and Sauces . We obtain the bulk products for our packaged dry goods from a small specialty food company, Cajun Fry Co., Inc., located in Pierre Part, Louisiana. We have entered into an oral agreement pursuant to which we purchase the Cajun Fry products in bulk. We, then, package and sell these dry products under our “Louisiana Food Company” brand name.

 

We will produce our own sauce products and market them under our “The Quarter’s” brand name.

 

Coffee . We have entered into an oral agreement with Covington, Louisiana-based New Orleans Roast, LLC, whereby this company produces, on our behalf, our coffee products in bulk. We, then, package and sell these coffee products under our “Voodoo Roast” brand name.

 

Quality Control

 

We use only first quality ingredients for our specialty food products. Our officers will assure strict adherence to our production procedures and quality standards for all products manufactured by us. These persons intend also to monitor production procedures and quality standards at each of the facilities from which we purchase, in bulk, our specialty food products. However, currently, we do not have a contractual right to inspect or monitor these third-party production facilities.

 

Ingredients

 

Packaged Dry Goods and Sauces . We use, and our suppliers use, only the best available ingredients in manufacturing our packaged dry products and coffee products. At this time, we do not anticipate any material restrictions on availability or shortages of ingredients that would have a significant impact on the production of our packaged dry products.

 

While all necessary ingredients are available from numerous independent suppliers locally, these ingredients are subject to fluctuations in price attributable to a number of factors, including weather conditions during the growing and harvesting seasons. At this time, we do not anticipate any material restrictions on availability or shortages of ingredients that would have a significant impact on the production of our sauces.

 

Coffee . The supplier of our bulk coffee products procures only the highest quality arabica beans available from the world’s coffee-producing regions through wholesale vendors. We believe this supplier and its sources of whole bean coffee to be reliable, in terms of both availability of supply and consistency of product quality.

 

National Distribution Agreement

 

We have entered into a distribution agreement with AMT Sales & Marketing / Consumer Product Management, an established food product manager in the specialty and natural food products industry. Under our agreement with AMT/CPM’s, we expect that our Jammin’ Jambalaya and Voodoo Roast coffee products will be the first to be placed by AMT/CPM.

 
 

AMT/CPM offer natural/specialty foods consulting and product management using cost efficient and effect sales strategies. AMT/CPM have broker partners located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Washington State, Texas, and Utah. AMT/CPM has established networks of food brokers across several channels of distribution, including smaller specialty stores, specialty for supermarket distributors, direct warehouse distribution, club and membership stores and larger mass merchandisers.

 

Charter Independent Distributor Program

 

With the backdrop of today’s sluggish economy and with the knowledge that Americans are resourceful, our management created our Charter Independent Distributor Program. This program is designed to be a low-entry-cost opportunity for individuals and small businesses to increase their monthly cash flow, by owning and operating a Louisiana Food Company distributorship on either a full-time or part-time basis. Under this program, for an initial, up-front investment, an individual or small business becomes a Charter Independent Distributor of our company’s products.

 

After securing our first Charter Independent Distributor near the end of 2010, we suspended this program, due to a lack of adequate funding with which to assure adequate inventories of our products. At such time as we obtain the needed funding, we will re-start this program, which showed great promise in its first stages. There is no assurance that, once re-started, this program will attracting persons who wish to become Charter Independent Distributors.

 

Online Store

 

General . As a part of our website, we have created an online store, through which customers are able to purchase all of our available specialty food products. In addition, we have created a password-protected section of our online store, through which our distributors will reorder products.

 

Convenient Shopping . Our online store is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to all Internet users. This online store enables us to market our specialty food products in all areas. Through our planned Internet-based advertising program, we hope to attract an ever-increasing number of potential customers to our online store. We believe that the convenience of our online shopping experience and the quality of our products will cause first-time customers to become repeat customers.

 

Customer Service . We have established an e-mail based customer service program, by which customers are able to resolve order and product questions. In addition, it is our company’s policy to make all of our customers satisfied with their purchases.

 

Paying for Orders . To pay for orders, a consumer must use a credit card, which is authorized during the checkout process. Charges are assessed against the card when the order is placed. Our online store uses available security technologies, including 128-bit encoding encryption technology, to assure our customers of transactional security.

 

Distribution and Marketing

 

Promotion of Products . We intend to distribute our specialty food products throughout the United States. To achieve this objective, we have begun to implement a multi-faceted distribution and marketing strategy with respect to our lines of specialty food products. This distribution and marketing strategy includes the methods discussed below.

 

Internet Advertising . During Fiscal 2011, we expended a small sum of our available funds in advertising our products over the Internet via established Internet advertising systems, including Google AdSense®. We suspended these efforts, due to a lack of immediate effectiveness. However, our management believes that, with adequate funding, Internet advertising is capable of driving customer traffic to our website, which, we believe, will translate into sales of our specialty food products directly from our online store.

 

Charter Independent Distributor Program . After securing our first Charter Independent Distributor near the end of 2010, we suspended this program, due to a lack of adequate funding with which to assure adequate inventories of our products. At such time as we obtain the needed funding, we will re-start this program, which showed great promise in its first stages. There is no assurance that, once re-started, this program will attracting persons who wish to become Charter Independent Distributors.

 

National Retail Accounts . We plan also to distribute our products directly to national retail accounts based on purchase order relationships. These accounts would include grocery stores, convenience stores, retail drug stores and specialty food stores. To this end, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011, we entered into our first distribution agreement with an established food product manager in the specialty and natural food products industry, AMT Sales & Marketing / Consumer Product Management, Under our agreement with AMT/CPM’s, we expect that our Jammin’ Jambalaya and Voodoo Roast coffee products will be the first to be placed by AMT/CPM.

Point-of-Purchase (POP) Materials . Initially, all of our specialty food products will be placed in custom display stands and accompanied by signage intended to attract the attention of shoppers and to promote further our “Louisiana Food Company” packaged dry products, our “The Quarter’s” sauce products and our “Tchoupitoulas Coffee Company” products. We intend to enhance our current POP materials by developing new promotional items on a periodic basis.

 

Transportation . To transport our specialty food products, we will contract with independent trucking companies to transport our products from our Edible Facility to distributors and retailers. Distributors will then re-stock and merchandise our products at their established retail outlets.

 

Future Brands

 

Our management has developed brand concepts that we intend to develop in the future, as funds become available for such efforts. These brands include Parkson Foods TM , which has been reserved for locally-produced Louisiana food products that we develop or discover and that are not a match for the “Louisiana Food Company” brand name.

 

Insurance

 

We have purchased a product liability insurance policy that provides $1,000,000 in coverage. Our management believes this policy amount to be appropriate for our current level of operations.

 

Competition

 

Packaged Dry Goods and Sauces . The food business is highly competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. In our chosen industry segments, numerous brands and products compete for shelf space and sales, with competition based primarily on price, quality and convenience. We compete with a significant number of companies of varying sizes, including divisions or subsidiaries of large, vertically integrated, international companies. A vast majority of our competitors have broader product lines, as well as substantially greater financial and other resources available to them. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively. A failure to compete effectively will result in diminished revenue and will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Coffee . The coffee market, in general, and the specialty coffee market, in particular, is highly competitive. We believe the specialty coffee market niche is one that depends heavily on brand presence for sustainable success. We attempt to compete within the industry by promoting our interesting brand name, Voodoo Roast, as well as the superior taste and quality of our coffee, rather than the price of our products. In retail outlets, such as supermarkets, our products compete directly with large purveyors of specialty and non-specialty coffees that have established brand names and retail shelf presence. On the Internet, at least initially, it will be difficult for us to attract a significant number of purchasers. We may not be successful in attracting retail customers for our coffee products.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

The production and marketing of our specialty food products are subject to the rules and regulations of various Federal, state and local health agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Regulations apply to many aspects of our business, including our products and their ingredients, manufacturing, safety, labeling, transportation, recycling, advertising and sale. For example, our products, and their manufacturing, labeling, marketing and sale in the U.S. are subject to various aspects of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Lanham Act, state consumer protection laws and state warning and labeling laws. The FDA also regulates labeling of our products. From time to time, we may receive notification of various technical labeling or ingredient reviews with respect to our products. Currently, we and, to our knowledge, our suppliers are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as they relate to our products. As our product offerings expand, we intend to establish a compliance program to ensure compliance with production, marketing and labeling regulations.

 

We are also subject to the laws and regulations applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, health department standards, income taxes and payroll taxes. In this regard, there are no regulatory notifications or actions currently outstanding against us.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We regard our trademarks, service marks, business know-how and proprietary recipes as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of our specialty food products. Our policy is to establish, enforce and protect our intellectual property rights using the intellectual property laws.

 
 

We are the owner of the following trademarks: Louisiana Food Company TM , The Quarter’s TM , Voodoo Roast Coffee TM , Tchoupitoulas Coffee Company TM and Parkson Foods TM . In the near future, we intend to file for registration of these trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

 

We also own an array of proprietary recipes that we use, or intend to use, in our business.

 

Description of Property

 

Our approximately 1,400 square-foot leased offices are located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Our monthly rent is $850, under a 15-month lease expiring in January 2013. We expect that such facility will be adequate for the foreseeable future. We currently do not own any real property.

 

Employees

 

We currently have no employees other than our President and Vice President. Our business development, corporate administration and business operations are overseen directly by our President. Our Vice President oversees record keeping and financial reporting functions. We intend to hire a small number of employees, at such times as our business conditions warrant. We have used, and, in the future, expect to use, the services of certain outside consultants and advisors as needed, on a consulting basis.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

While we believe that the factors considered provide a meaningful basis for the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, we cannot guarantee that our estimates and assumptions will be accurate. If such estimates and assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to make adjustments to these estimates in future periods.

 

Litigation and Tax Assessments . Should we become involved in lawsuits, we intend to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes of any of these matters as well as the potential range of probable losses. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies will be made after careful analysis of each matter. The required accrual may change from time to time, due to new developments in any matter or changes in approach (such as a change in settlement strategy) in dealing with these matters.

 

Additionally, in the future, we may become engaged in various tax audits by federal and state governmental authorities incidental to our business activities. We anticipate that we will record reserves for any estimated probable losses for any such proceeding.

 

Stock-Based Compensation . We account for stock-based compensation based on the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718 Share Based Payments. ASC 718 requires companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and to record compensation cost for all stock awards granted after the required effective date and for awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date. The scope of ASC 718 encompasses a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements . There were no recent accounting pronouncements that our company has not implemented that materially affect our financial statements.

 

Cautionary Statement

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the balance sheet as of September 30, 2011, and the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011, included elsewhere herein. The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

 

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations with respect to future events, financial performance and operating results, which statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere herein. The risks and uncertainties discussed herein could cause our actual results to differ from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements.

 

General

 

We are a development-stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 17, 2010. We are in the business of developing and exploiting food-related business opportunities in the State of Louisiana. To date, we have developed a line of specialty packaged dry food products, a line of specialty sauces and a line of specialty coffee products. We will sell these specialty food product lines to distributors, directly to retailers and directly to consumers over the Internet.

 

Overview

 

While we are a business in the early-stage of development, we have begun to derive revenues from our operations, through sales to retail grocery stores and through our online store. Our current focus is on (1) sales to established food distributors, (2) direct sales to retail grocery stores, (3) developing our Charter Independent Distributor Program and (4) sales through our web site, www.louisianafoodcompany.com.

 
 

In order to accelerate the growth of our business, we will need to obtain additional capital. We intend to apply additional capital, as and if obtained, to the pursuit of nation retail accounts, the expansion of our Charter Independent Distributor Program, the and to the expansion of sales through our web site, primarily through Internet advertising strategies.

 

Our management believes there to be a multitude of small, locally-owned food businesses throughout Louisiana, the products of which are worthy of national distribution. Our management further believes that we have the opportunity to bring to these locally produced and sold Louisiana-centric specialty food products to the national market, by way of distribution agreements, private label arrangements or acquisition.

 

As part of our business strategy, after we have better established the sales and distribution channels of our current lines of specialty food products, we intend to consider acquisitions of existing food-related businesses, as such acquisition opportunities become available to us. There is no current arrangement or understanding between our company and any other company or person with regard to a merger or acquisition transaction.

 

Recent Event

 

In December 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice (“Justice”) issued an opinion that sparked renewed hope for, and interest in, the development of online, intrastate poker in the United States. In fact, prior to Justice’s opinion, the State of Nevada had passed legislation that would allow for companies to offer online poker and the new ruling may allow that state to proceed with an intrastate online poker offering for its citizens. Also, earlier in 2011, the Nevada Gaming Control Board announced that some companies had applied for licenses, but that the Board was holding off until the federal government announced a stance. With the change in Justice’s opinion, that Nevada regulatory body may be able to move forward with offering online intrastate poker to Nevada residents.

 

In response to this circumstance, in January 2012, one of our directors assigned to our company, as a contribution to capital, certain assets useful in the operation of an online poker website; our board of directors accepted such assigned assets, which were not assigned any value for financial reporting purposes.

 

Included in the contributed assets is the website known as TouchPoker.com and the software required to run the online poker operations. Until such time as we obtain the necessary licensing, the TouchPoker.com website will feature free Texas Hold ‘em virtual tables and, currently, is a for-entertainment-only site, legal for all users, including those in the United States.

 

As a Nevada corporation, it is our intention to seek a license for intrastate online poker in one or more jurisdictions. However, we can make no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts in this regard.

 

Our director initiated this action as a way of enhancing shareholder value, while we continue our efforts in developing our specialty food business.

 

Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2012, our disclosure will reflect the addition of this new online gaming business segment.

 

Direct Public Offering

 

In January 2011, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-169924) was declared effective. Pursuant to such Registration Statement, the Company originally registered for sale 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $0.80 per share. In March 2011, the Company withdrew such shares from registration, without having sold any of such shares.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

 

• our ability to maintain, on commercially reasonable terms, the supply of our packaged dry products and our coffee products;

• our ability to expand the channels of distribution for our specialty food products;

• our ability to attract new and repeat customers to our online store; and

• our ability to contain our costs of goods sold and maintain our law overheard.

 

Based on our current business plan, we expect to incur operating losses for at least the first two quarters of Fiscal 2012. However, because our specialty food products are new, we cannot predict the levels of our future sales.

 
 

To date, we have sold our products to only a small number of customers. We do not have a formal relationship with any of our customers and they may, in their sole discretion and without penalty, cease purchasing our specialty food products. Our only other channel of distribution is through our website, which has generated only a small level of sales revenues.

 

We have a single source for our packaged dry products and a single source for our coffee products. Each of these suppliers is located within 60 miles of our production, packaging and distribution location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We have not entered into any formal supply agreements with these suppliers. We are required to pay in full for inventory purchased from these suppliers, upon our receipt of their shipments. If the prices charged by these suppliers increase and we are not able to pass on the increased prices to our customers, then our margins would be reduced, which would, in turn, adversely affect our future profitability.

 

Results of Operations

 

Period from Inception (August 17, 2010) Through September 30, 2010 (“Prior Period”), versus Year Ended September 30, 2011 (“Current Period”) . During the Current Period, we generated $9,142 in revenues from sales of our specialty food products; we did not generate any revenues during the Prior Period. We expect that our revenues will increase during the remainder of Fiscal 2012, assuming we obtain a small level of additional capital. However, due to our current lack of available capital with which to market our products, we cannot predict the exact levels of such expected increases.

 

For the Current Period, we incurred a net loss of $104,678. Our operations for the Current Period were negatively impacted by a lack of capital caused by (1) unexpected delays in our obtaining a trading symbol for our common stock and (2) our withdrawal from registration of the shares of our common stock that we intended to sell in a Direct Public Offering – this withdrawal from registration was effected, following our advice from FINRA that a trading symbol would not be assigned to our common stock for so long as we maintained the registration of our Direct Public Offering and our selling shareholder offering. This determination was made by our board of directors, having determined such course of action to be in the best interests of our company and our shareholders.

 

While we did not issue shares of our common stock in payment of services during the Current Period, we did issue shares in payment of services during our first fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2012 and it is possible that, if we lack the cash needed to obtain necessary services, we would issue additional shares of common stock in payment thereof. By issuing common stock in payment of these necessary services, we would be able to better preserve our then-available cash.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Our Plan of Operations for our specialty food products, which is detailed in the following paragraphs, generally involves the development of distribution channels for our specialty food products, as well as our locating food-related business opportunities in the State of Louisiana.

 

We have developed the following specialty food products:

 

Packaged Dry Products : Our Jammin’ Jambalaya, Acadiana Dirty Rice, Bayou Moon Jamasta, Breaux Bridge Etouffee, Fais do-do Gumbo and Bon Temps Lou’siana Fry are currently available to purchasers. We expect that our Red Stick Red Beans, Elysian Fields Black-Eyed Peas and Pirogue Rice will be available during the first quarter of 2012.

 

Sauce Products : We expect that our The Quarter’s Pasta Sauce and The Quarter’s Creole Sauce will be available to purchasers during the first quarter of 2012.

 

Coffee Products : Our Voodoo Roast Dark, Voodoo Roast Medium, Voodoo Roast Dark (Decaf) and Voodoo Roast Chicory Blend products are currently available to purchasers.

 

A portion of funds that we obtain in the future will be applied to the expansion of our distribution channels. Specifically, we intend to expend funds in advertising for participants in our Charter Independent Distributor Program. Our advertising will be done in local newspapers around the United States and over the Internet via one or more of the existing Internet advertising systems, such as Google AdSense®. Additionally, we intend to use Internet advertising to entice retail consumers to purchase our specialty food products directly from our online store that is a part of our web site, www.louisianafoodcompany.com.

 

As we increase our sales, we will apply available funds to the expansion of our food manufacturing capabilities. We intend to produce our wet products at a certified commercial kitchen facility housed within our corporate headquarters premises and we expect that this kitchen will be adequate for at least the next year.

 
 

Our management believes there to be a multitude of small, locally-owned food businesses throughout Louisiana, the products of which are worthy of national distribution. Our management further believes that we have the opportunity to bring to these locally produced and sold Louisiana-centric specialty food products to the national market, by way of distribution agreements, private label arrangements or acquisition.

 

With respect to our recently formed online gaming business, we do not expect to, nor do we believe it necessary to, devote significant funds to its development, during the time we are pursuing a license. There can be no prediction made with respect to whether or when we will be able to obtain the licensing needed to operate an intrastate online poker website.

 

While our level of future funding will determine the potential rate of growth for our business, our Plan of Operations will be the same. Without additional funding, we will expand our operations only to the extent that our operations generate adequate funds. There is, of course, no assurance that our operations will be successful, in this regard. With additional funding, we believe that we will be able to increase sales of our products through our aggressive advertising strategy. As with any start-up company that offers unproven products, there is no assurance that our company will be successful with any level of additional funding.

 

Liquidity

 

As at September 30, 2011 .

 

Working Capital . At September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $31,274 and a cash balance of $500. Since our inception, we have raised a total of $82,550 from private sales of our common stock and obtained a total of $14,300 in loans from shareholders and third parties. Our cash position is expected to improve as we collect our accounts receivable during the first quarter of Fiscal 2012. Currently, we are seeking additional funding from private sources.

 

Cash Flows . For the Year Ended September 30, 2011, we used $81,730 in our operating activities. Our investing activities used $793 in cash. Our financing activities provided $60,670 in cash, which we received from private sales of our common stock ($30,550) and loans from shareholders and third parties ($29,300).

 

Contractual Obligations

 

To date, we have not entered into any significant long-term obligations that require us to make monthly cash payments, except the lease agreement for our corporate headquarters and commercial kitchen faciltiy, which expires in January 2013. Our monthly obligation under this lease is $850.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the notes to our financial statements included herein. We have consistently applied these policies in all material respects. We do not believe that our operations to date have involved uncertainty of accounting treatment, subjective judgment or estimates, to any significant degree.

 

Uncertainties and Trends

 

Our operations and revenues are dependent, now and in the future, upon the following factors:

 

• whether we successfully commercialize our new specialty food products;

• whether we compete effectively in the severely competitive food industry; and

• whether the continuing economic recession in the United States will adversely affect our ability to attract customers to our specialty food products.

 

There is no assurance that our company will be able to accomplish our objectives. Our failure to do so would likely cause purchasers of our common stock to lose their entire investments in our company.

 

Inflation

 

Inflation can be expected to have an impact on our operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, wages and other costs to increase which would adversely affect our results of operations. In the current economic and political climate, no predictions can be made with respect to the future effects of inflation on or business.

 
 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that would have any current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

During the year ended September 30, 2011, we made minimal capital expenditures. Should we obtain at least $50,000 in additional funding, we expect to purchase selected items of equipment for use in the production of our specialty food products, including product packaging equipment. However, we cannot predict the exact amount of these potential capital expenditures.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act) for our company. Based on our management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Exchange Act and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Acting Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets;

• provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only with proper authorizations of management and directors; and

• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 
 

Our chief executive officer and our acting chief financial officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011. In making this assessment, they used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

 

As of September 30, 2011, our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and have formulated a plan by which to cure these identified weaknesses. A material weakness would be a deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5), or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Identified Material Weakness

 

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

 

Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011:

 

• We lack an effective and efficient close the books process to timely prepare for audits and financial reporting deadlines.

• We lack sufficient accounting personnel to establish an effective segregation of duties.

• We lack sufficient accounting personnel that have an appropriate knowledge of GAAP to effectively complete our financial reporting and we were required to record material adjustments to the September 30, 2011, financial statements to bring them into compliance.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

We are planning to undertake remedial measures to establish effective segregation of duties and disclosure controls, including the expansion and training of our accounting department to better enable us to close our books, meet our reporting deadlines and implement appropriate disclosure controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the last quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information.

 

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

 

Effective November 17, 2011, we filed an articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation. Pursuant to this amendment, we increased the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000.

 

Loan Transactions

 

In October 2011, we borrowed $42,500 from a third party, through the issuance of a convertible promissory note, payable in June 2012, bearing interest at 8% per annum, and convertible into a number of shares based on the market price of our common stock. On the date of issuance, this promissory note was convertible into an aggregate of approximately 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

 

In November 2011, we borrowed $32,500 from a third party, through the issuance of a convertible promissory note, payable in August 2012, bearing interest at 8% per annum, and convertible into a number of shares based on the market price of our common stock. On the date of issuance, this promissory note was convertible into an aggregate of approximately 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Promoter

 

Our legal counsel, Newlan & Newlan, is considered a promoter of our company.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Committees; Meetings of the Board . We do not have a separate Compensation Committee, Audit Committee or Nominating Committee. These functions are to be conducted by our Board of Directors meeting as a whole.

 

During Fiscal 2011, our Board of Directors took action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting on 14 occasions; our Board of Directors has not yet held a meeting.

 

Audit Committee . Our Board of Directors has not established an audit committee. The functions of an audit committee are currently performed by our entire Board of Directors. We are under no legal obligation to establish an audit committee and our Board of Directors has elected not to do so. This decision was made so as to avoid the time and expense of identifying independent directors willing to serve on the audit committee. We may establish an audit committee in the future, if our Board of Directors determines it to be advisable or we are otherwise required to do so by applicable law, rule or regulation.

 

Independence of Board of Directors

 

Neither of our directors is “independent”, within the meaning of definitions established by the SEC or any self-regulatory organization. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

None of our current directors is paid for his services as directors.

 

Shareholder Communications with Our Board of Directors

 

Our company welcomes comments and questions from our shareholders. Shareholders should direct all communications to our President, David Loflin, at our executive offices. However, while we appreciate all comments from shareholders, we may not be able to respond individually to all communications. We attempt to address shareholder questions and concerns in our press releases and documents filed with the SEC, so that all shareholders have access to information about us at the same time. Mr. Loflin collects and evaluates all shareholder communications. All communications addressed to our directors and executive officers will be reviewed by those parties, unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

 

Code of Ethics

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, our Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics with respect to our directors, officers and employees.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to our company or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

• for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our shareholders;

• for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

• under Nevada law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

• for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Nevada law and eliminate our rights and those of our shareholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our shareholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

The following table sets forth certain compensation information for our executive officers for (A) the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, and (B) for the period from inception (August 17, 2010) through September 30, 2010. The foregoing persons are collectively referred to herein as the “named executive officers”.

We have not entered into employment agreements with either of our officers; we expect to enter into employment agreements with these persons at an as-yet determined time in the future.

 

Our officers perform employee-like services for us on a part-time basis. Each of these persons has committed to working up to 30 hours per week for the benefit of our company. These persons have not been compensated for their services to date and have agreed to work for no cash remuneration, until such time as we generate sufficient revenues for the payment of salaries to our management.

 

We have no compensatory plan or arrangement that results or will result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of an executive officer's employment or from a change in control or a change in an executive officer's responsibilities following a change in control.

Related Stockholder Matters

 

The following table sets forth, as of the date hereof, information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock by (i) each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities; (ii) each of our directors; (iii) each of the named executive officers; and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, based on voting or investment power with respect to the securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock underlying warrants and other convertible securities held by that person are deemed to be outstanding if the warrants or other convertible securities are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

 

Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the shareholders in the table below is c/o Louisiana Food Company, 17485 Opportunity Drive, Suite E, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70817.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Louisiana Food Company:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Louisiana Food Company (the “Company”) (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended September 31, 2011 and 2010 and the period from inception (August 17, 2010) through September 30, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Louisiana Food Company as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception (August 17, 2010) through September 30, 2011, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit during the development stage.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The accumulated equity (deficit) during the development stage for the period from the date of inception (August 17, 2010) through September 30, 2011 is $140,039.

LOUISIANA FOOD COMPANY

(A Development Stage Company)

 
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
  September 30, 2011  
NOTE 1.  THE COMPANY
Louisiana Food Company (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 17, 2010 (“Inception”).  The Company’s focus is on the development and commercial exploitation of food-related business opportunities in the State of Louisiana.  To date, the Company has developed a line of packaged specialty food products, a line of specialty pasta sauces and a line of specialty coffee products, and sells these specialty food product lines to distributors, retailers and over the Internet.  Because each of the Company’s products is produced locally in Louisiana, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry has granted the Company a license to affix the Department’s “Certified” logos on the Company’s products.
Liquidity and Management Plans
At September 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $500, a working capital deficit of $31,274 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $140,039.  Due to the Company’s lack of capital, management has minimized, to the extent possible, all expenditures. The Company plans to seek additional funds, equity or debt, to support its operations.  The Company’s management is unsure about the Company’s ability to meet its working capital needs in future periods.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred losses totaling $140,039 from its Inception through September 30, 2011, and had a working capital deficit at September 30, 2011.  Because of these conditions, the Company will require additional working capital to continue operations and develop its business. The Company intends to raise additional working capital either through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations or execute its business plan.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) completed its accounting guidance codification project. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  The Company refers to the ASC Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.
Development Stage Company
The Company has not generated revenue since Inception.  The accompanying financial statements have, therefore, been prepared using the accounting format prescribed for a development stage company in ASC 915.
             

 


Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting of amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of receivables, inventory and stock warrants.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue from sales of its food and coffee products.  The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  Under the authoritative guidance, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collectability is reasonable assured.  Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates and returns.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.  Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability.  Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses.
At September 30, 2011, the Company reserved of one of its “aged” accounts receivable in the amount of $8,280.  This reserved amount is included as bad debt expense under general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers.
Inventory
Inventory is composed of coffee and food items needed to formulate the Company’s branded products and are stated at lower of cost (first in, first out) or market through the use of a valuation allowance.  In order to assess the ultimate realization of inventories, the Company makes judgments as to future demand compared to current inventory levels.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful life of the Company’s equipment is three years. Depreciation expense for the period from Inception to September 30, 2011, was $715.
Intangible Assets
Intangibles consist of trade names, trademarks, brand names and recipes.  Purchased trademarks are initially measured based on their fair values.  Trademarks include purchased trademarks, brand names, logos or other recognizable symbols associated with the Company's products.  Trademarks are not amortized because they have indefinite lives.  Assets determined to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and other Intangibles, but are tested for impairment on an annual basis.  The carrying amount of intangibles not subject to amortization is $10,483 as of September 30, 2011.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset.  The Company measures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it.  If the sum of the expected future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized.  The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.  The fair value is measured based on quoted market prices, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows.  The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated.  These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.  During the period from Inception through September 30, 2011, the Company recorded no impairment losses related to an intangible asset.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis in August 2010, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 are:
Level 1: inputs are quoted prices, unadjusted, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  A Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: inputs are unobservable and reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
At September 30, 2011, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
The Company considers the recorded value of certain of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and other current assets, to approximate the fair value of the respective assets at September 30, 2011, based upon the short-term nature of the assets.  The carrying value of certain of the financial instruments, of other current assets, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of ASC 505-50-30.  Pursuant to ASC 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete, the date on which it is probable that performance will occur or the date of issuance of the equity instrument.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income taxes are calculated based upon the liability method of accounting in accordance with ASC 750-10-60, Income Taxes . In accordance with ASC 750-10-60, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard to allow for recognition of such an asset. In addition, realization of an uncertain income tax position must be estimated as “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, the recognition of tax benefits recorded in the financial statements to be based on the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information. The Company had minimal impact from adoption of this Interpretation.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per common share information.  The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.  At September 30, 2011, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of warrants convertible into 5,460,000 shares of common stock.
Basic loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date of periodic reports, but before financial statements are issued for periods ending on such balance sheet dates, for possible adjustment to such financial statements or other disclosure. This evaluation generally occurs through the date at which the Company’s financial statements are electronically prepared for filing.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company currently has only a single source for its packaged dry products and coffee products.  The Company’s market is currently concentrated in the State of Louisiana and, through the Internet and its distributor program, is attempting to broaden its market to other states.  At September 30, 2011, the Company has a very small established customer base.
Property
The Company does not own any real property.  The Company currently leases a office/warehouse facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which contains an approved kitchen facility.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, authoritative guidance that addresses the presentation of comprehensive income in interim and annual reporting of financial statements was issued.  The guidance is intended to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  Such changes in stockholders’ equity will be required to be disclosed in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.  Early adoption is permitted.  This new guidance impacts how the Company reports its comprehensive income only, and will have no effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity upon its required adoption by the Company on October 1, 2012.
NOTE 3.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pre-incorporation Agreement
The Company was formed pursuant to a pre-incorporation agreement.  The Company’s President was a party to this agreement and was, upon formation of the Company and in accordance with the pre-incorporation agreement, issued 13,000,000 shares of Company common stock and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase a like number of shares at an exercise price of $.10 per share.  The Company received items of personal and intellectual property in exchange for its shares of common stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors determined that the aggregate value of the items of property was $13,000, of which $2,517 has been recorded as inventory and $10,483 has been recorded as an intangible asset.  The value of the warrants of $1,638 has been included in compensation expense.
The Company’s legal counsel was also a party to the pre-incorporation agreement and is considered a promoter of the Company.  Upon formation of the Company and in accordance with the pre-incorporation agreement, the Company’s legal counsel was issued 5,000,000 shares of Company common stock and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase a like number of shares at an exercise price of $.10 per share, in payment of $10,000 in legal services.  The value of the warrants of $1,638 has been included in professional fees.

 


Loans from Shareholders
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company obtained unsecured loans from two shareholders in the aggregate amount of $15,000.  Each of these loans is evidenced by a promissory note, bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due, as to $10,000, on June 30, 2011, and, as to $5,000, on September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had $155 in accrued interest.  During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid $1,000 of the $10,000 loan, the balance of which remains due and payable.  The proceeds of these loans were used for corporate purposes.
Loan from Director
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company obtained an unsecured loan from a director in the aggregate amount of $300.  This loan is not evidenced by a promissory note and is payable on demand.
NOTE 4.  INCOME TAXES
At September 30, 2011, the Company had deferred tax assets principally arising from net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes.  The Company calculates its deferred tax assets using the federal tax rate of 35% and the following state tax rates:  Louisiana (from 4-8%).  Due to its net operating loss and the uncertainty of future profitability and limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards under IRC Section 382, a valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the Company’s deferred tax asset.
The actual Federal income tax provision differs from the amount computed by applying the Federal corporate income tax rate of 35% to income before taxes as follows for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:
  2011   2010  
  Expected federal tax benefit $(36,637)   $(12,376)  
  States and local taxes (6,281)   (2,121)  
  Non-deductible expenses 6,678   1,909  
  Change in valuation allowance 36,240   12,588  
  Income tax expense $ 0   $ 0  
The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2011 and 2010, are as follows:
  2011   2010  
  Net operating loss carryforwards $41,885   $8,259  
  Intangible assets and other 6,567   3,669  
  Depreciation 376   660  
  Valuation allowance (48,828)   12,588  
  Net deferred tax assets $ 0   $ 0  
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management determines whether it is more likely than not some, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income.  Management considers projected taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Based upon the level of historical taxable losses and projected taxable losses over the periods that the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences and thus recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset balance.
At September 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $120,000 for federal income tax purposes.  The net operating loss carry-forwards are available to be utilized against future taxable income through fiscal year 2031, subject to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which imposed substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an “ownership change” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.  Federal and state net operating losses are subject to limitations as a result of these restrictions.  Under such circumstances, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses against future income may be reduced.
A reconciliation of the statutory of federal and state tax rates to the Company’s effective tax rates is as follows:
  2011   2010  
  Statutory regular federal income tax rate 35%   35%  
  Statutory regular state income tax rate 4-8%   4-8%  
  Change in valuation allowance (100%)   (100%  
  Net deferred tax assets 0%   0%  
NOTE 5.  DEPOSITS
At September 30, 2011, deposits, comprised entirely of a utility security deposit, were $603.
NOTE 6.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company’s intangible assets include trademarks, brand names and recipes of its food and coffee products acquired in exchange for the issuance of common stock.
NOTE 7.  CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock Issued for Property
During the period from Inception through September 30, 2010, the Company issued 13,000,000 shares of its common stock for items of personal and intangible property.  Specifically, the Company received goods and recipes useful in its specialty food business.  The Company’s Board of Directors determined that the aggregate value of the items of property was $13,000, of which $2,517 was determined to be inventory and $10,483 was determined to be recipes and brand names.
Common Stock Issued for Services
The holders of the Company’s common stock currently have (i) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the Company’s assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; (iii) do not have preemptive, subscriptive or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote.
The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to determine or alter any or all of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and, within the limitations or restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares comprising any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series, to set the designation of any series, and to provide for rights and terms of redemption, conversion, dividends, voting rights, and liquidation preferences of the shares of any such series.
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued no shares of its common stock for services to third-party consultants for services.

 

During the period from Inception through September 30, 2010, the Company issued a total of 7,000,000 shares of its common stock for services to third-party consultants for services, resulting in $20,000 in non-cash compensation expense included in professional and legal expenses and consulting fees in the accompanying statements of operations.
The value of the transactions was determined based on value of shares of common stock issued as determined by the board of directors.  As there are no performance commitments or penalties for non-performance, the Company recorded the expense at the date of issuance.
Common Stock Issued for Cash
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued a total of 2,580,000 shares of its common stock for cash in the total amount of $30,550.

Subscription Receivable
At September 30, 2010, the Company had not received a total of $15,000 in payment of common stock sold.  This amount appears as a subscription receivable on the accompanying balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit).  During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company received all $15,000 in cash associated with such subscription receivable.
NOTE 8.  WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
Outstanding Stock Warrants
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 360,000 stock warrants to purchasers of common stock.  The warrants allow the warrant holders to purchase 360,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.  The two-year warrants expire in December 2012 (240,000 warrants) and July 2013 (120,000 warrants).
In August and September 2010, the Company issued stock warrants to two related-parties.  The President, Mr. David Loflin, was issued 2,000,000 warrants for services rendered in establishing the Company.  The law firm of Newlan & Newlan, Counsel to the Company, was issued 2,000,000 warrants for professional services rendered for organizing the Company.   Additionally, 1,100,000 warrants were issued to purchasers of common shares during the period from Inception (August 17, 2010) through September 30, 2010.  The warrants allow the warrant holders to purchase, in aggregate, 5,100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.  The two-year warrants expire during August 2012 and September 2012.  For the period from Inception through September 30, 2010, $1,638 and $1,638 of compensation expense and professional fees, respectively, related to the issuance of the warrants was recognized.
All warrants are fully vested and exercisable at September 30, 2011.  A summary of the status and changes of the warrants issued during the period from Inception through September 30, 2011, are as follows:

    Exercisable at September 30, 2011     5,460,000   $0.10
A summary of the status of the warrants outstanding at September 30, 2011, is presented below:

At September 30, 2011, vested warrants of 5,460,000 had an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.
The fair value of each of the Company’s stock warrants is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatility is based on an average of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock warrant award is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award.  The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeitures within its valuation model.
The significant weighted average assumptions relating to the valuation of the Company’s options for the year ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were as follows:
                                                   

 

  2011   2010  
  Strike price $0.01   $0.01

  Risk-free interest rate (2 YR U.S. Treasury) 0.38% to 0.42%   0.37% to 0.58%  
NOTE 9.  LOANS  
Loans from Shareholders  
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company obtained unsecured loans from two shareholders in the aggregate amount of $15,000.  Each of these loans is evidenced by a promissory note, bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due, as to $10,000, on June 30, 2011, and, as to $5,000, on September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had $155 in accrued interest.  During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid $1,000 of the $10,000 loan, the balance of which remains due and payable.  The proceeds of these loans were used for corporate purposes.  
Loan from Director  
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company obtained an unsecured loan from a director in the aggregate amount of $300.  This loan is not evidenced by a promissory note and is payable on demand.  
NOTE 10.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  
Operating Leases  
The Company’s corporate office is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, under a lease that expires January 2013, and requires monthly rental payments of $850 per month.  The Company had rental expense under operating leases of $4,770 for the year ended September 30, 2011, and $469 for the period from Inception to September 30, 2010.  
NOTE 11.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE  
The Company has adopted ASC 260-10-45-60, which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share.  The computation of earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.  The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding under the treasury method and the average market price per share during the year.  Common stock equivalents at September 30, 2011, consisted of  5,460,000 in warrants.  Common stock equivalents at September 30, 2011 and 2010, were considered but were not included in the computation of loss per share at September 30, 2011 and 2010, because they would have been anti-dilutive.

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company has issued a total of 1,250,000 shares of its common stock to third-party consultants for services.  These shares were valued at $25,000, in the aggregate.  
                             

 

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation
Effective November 17, 2011, the Company filed an articles of amendment to its articles of incorporation.  Pursuant to this amendment, the Company increased the authorized number of shares of its common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000.
Contribution of Assets; New Business Segment
In December 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice (“Justice”) issued an opinion that sparked renewed hope for, and interest in, the development of online, intrastate poker in the United States.  In fact, prior to Justice’s opinion, the State of Nevada had passed legislation that would allow for companies to offer online poker and the new ruling may allow that state to proceed with an intrastate online poker offering for its citizens.  Also, earlier in 2011, the Nevada Gaming Control Board announced that certain companies had applied for licenses, but that the Board was holding off until the federal government announced a stance.  With the change in Justice’s opinion, that Nevada regulatory body may be able to move forward with offering online intrastate poker to Nevada residents.
In response to this circumstance, in January 2012, one of the Company’s directors assigned to the Company, as a contribution to capital, certain assets useful in the operation of an online poker website; the Company’s board of directors accepted such assigned assets, which were not assigned any value for financial reporting purposes.
Included in the contributed assets is the website known as TouchPoker.com and the software required to run the online poker operations.  Until such time as the Company obtains the necessary licensing, the TouchPoker.com website will feature free Texas Hold ‘em virtual tables and, currently, is a for-entertainment-only site, legal for all users, including those in the United States.
It is the Company’s intention to seek a license for intrastate online poker in one or more jurisdictions.

The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note in accordance with this Agreement, the Note is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

f. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, 7

 
 

By-laws or other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to issue and sell the Note in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) and does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTCBB in the foreseeable future. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

g. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”).

Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to June 30, 2011, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

h. Absence of Certain Changes. Since June 30, 2011, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or 1934 Act reporting status of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.

None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length purchasers with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

p. No Integrated Offering.

The issuance of the Securities to the Buyer will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any shareholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.

q. No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

r. Permits; Compliance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there is no action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since June 30, 2011, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

s. Environmental Matters.

(i) There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar 11

 
 

federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(ii) Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business.

t. Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(t) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

u. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request the Company will provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.12

 
 

v. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

w. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

x. Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

y. No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment Company”). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.

z. Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. If the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.

c. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds for general working capital purposes.

The foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any proposed Future Offering.

The Right of First Refusal also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.

The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.

i. Corporate Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.15

k. Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an event of default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or 16

 
 

hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LOUISIANA FOOD COMPANY, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ASHER ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $42,500.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on June 26, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise

2

defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with

3

respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

1.2 Conversion Price.

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 55% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 45%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

(b) Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be

4

determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a). For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.4 Method of Conversion.

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall

5

maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c) Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement..

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any

6

obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified

1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately

7

sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6 Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.

8

“Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or

9

underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e) Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of

10

Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

1.7 Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

1.8 Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder

11

of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

1.9 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the issue date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to 145%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

Notwithstanding any to the contrary stated elsewhere herein, at any time during the period beginning one hundred twenty-one (121) days from the issue date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days following the issue date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Second Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall

12

make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Second Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to 150%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Second Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

After the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) following the date of the Note, the Borrower shall have no right of prepayment.

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

2.1 Distributions on Capital Stock. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent (a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock other than dividends on shares of Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly or through any subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock except for distributions pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan which is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s disinterested directors.

2.2 Restriction on Stock Repurchases. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) in any one transaction or series of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Borrower or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares.

2.3 Borrowings. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, create, incur, assume guarantee, endorse, contingently agree to purchase or otherwise become liable upon the obligation of any person, firm, partnership, joint venture or corporation, except by the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection, or suffer to exist any liability for borrowed money, except (a) borrowings in existence or committed on the date hereof and of which the Borrower has informed Holder in writing prior to the date hereof, (b) indebtedness to trade creditors or financial institutions incurred in the ordinary course of business or (c) borrowings, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay this Note.

So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

13

3.1 Failure to Pay Principal or Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise.

3.2 Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

14

3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.

Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

19

In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

4.10 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer this September 22, 2011.

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE

4

SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of: (i) 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 28,280,000 shares are issued and outstanding; and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which no shares are issued and outstanding; no shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans, no shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to securities (other than the Note and a prior convertible promissory note in favor of the Buyer dated September 22, 2011 in the amount of $42,500.00 for which 8,585,859 shares of Common Stock are presently reserved) exercisable for, or convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock and 10,750,000 shares are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Note. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed through the actions or

6

failure to act of the Company. As of the effective date of this Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements, understandings, claims or other commitments or rights of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities under the 1933 Act and (iii) there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be triggered by the issuance of the Note or the Conversion Shares. The Company has furnished to the Buyer true and correct copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (“Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company’s By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the “By-laws”), and the terms of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the Company and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.

The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note in accordance with this Agreement, the Note is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

f. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

u. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request the Company will provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of

12

all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.

The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LOUISIANA FOOD COMPANY, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ASHER ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $32,500.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on August 21, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise

2

defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with

3

respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

1.2 Conversion Price.

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 55% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 45%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

(b) Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be

4

determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a). For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.4 Method of Conversion.

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall

5

maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c) Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement..

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any

6

obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified

1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately

7

sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6 Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.

8

“Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or

9

underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e) Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of

10

Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

1.7 Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

1.8 Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder

11

of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

1.9 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the issue date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to 145%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

Notwithstanding any to the contrary stated elsewhere herein, at any time during the period beginning one hundred twenty-one (121) days from the issue date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days following the issue date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Second Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall

12

make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Second Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to 150%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Second Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

After the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) following the date of the Note, the Borrower shall have no right of prepayment.

2.1 Distributions on Capital Stock. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent (a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock other than dividends on shares of Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly or through any subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock except for distributions pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan which is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s disinterested directors.

It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

3.15 Replacement of Transfer Agent.

UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT SUM (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and/or 3. 15 exercisable

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

4.3 Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

18

4.4 Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

4.5 Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

4.6 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

4.7 Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

19

4.8 Purchase Agreement. By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

4.9 Notice of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

4.10 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer this November 17, 2011.
