Pursuant to a financing agreement with one investor group (the “holder”), dated September 23, 2013, duostech issued a $10,000 debenture in 2015 and there were $1,398,370 of unsecured convertible debentures outstanding at December 31, 2014. The debentures bear interest at 6% annually and each debenture principal is due in three years from the debenture issuance date. The interest is due monthly in arrears. The principal balance at March 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1,408,370 and $1,398,370, respectively. The Company had been making its monthly interest payments and accordingly, accrued interest was $0 and $7,126 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. There is no default provision for the non-payment of interest when due. The maturity dates range from October 27, 2016 through November 30, 2017. The financing agreement states that these debentures will take highest priority over all other existing debt of the Company in the case of bankruptcy or other liquidation event. If any debenture is outstanding as of the maturity date then the Company shall pay a 3% premium on the principal in addition to repayment of the principal and any accrued interest. This 3% premium is being accrued as additional interest expense over the debentures terms. If the Company merges with a public entity then the holder has the right to (i) convert the remaining principal of one or more debentures into the combined Company’s stock at a 20% discount to the negotiated value of such stock according to the terms of the merger; or (ii) to call in one or more or even all of the debentures as due and payable within six (6) months of the “call” date with regard to each debenture and such obligation of the Company to pay shall include a 3% premium on the principal balance or (iii) let one or more of the debentures remain in effect according to the original terms, however, if the Company completes a merger with a public entity the Company has the right to pay-off the debentures remaining principal balance and with a required 3% premium and any accrued interest. Although these convertible debentures appear to meet the requirements of stock settled debt under ASC 480 due to the variable conversion fixed rate, no premium on the debt or related interest expense has been recorded at the debt issuance dates since the conversion option is contingent on a future event. On March 31, 2015, there was $1,415,546 of convertible debt which included $7,176 accrued interest that was converted into 2,211,791 shares of common stock as a result of closing of a reverse merger with Information Systems Associates, Inc. (ISA). The conversion was priced at a 20% discount from the Company’s closing price on June 30, 2015 of $0.80 for a net conversion price of $0.64 per share in accordance with the original terms of the convertible debentures. As a result of this conversion, $37,120 of accrued debt premium relating to the 3% provision noted above, which is not required to be paid to debenture holders, was reclassified to additional paid-in capital and a $352,093 interest expense was recognized and recorded as a debt premium on March 31, 2015 pursuant to the resolution of the contingency under ASC 480 and then reclassified to additional paid-in capital. In June 2015, the Company issued three Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount of $115,000 to the same investor group for a 2-year term, 8% coupon and convertible into the Company's common stock at a 35% discount from the 5-trading day’s average closing price immediately preceding conversion. On June 10, 2015 the investor made the first investment of $50,000, with subsequent further investments of $50,000 on June 16, 2015, $15,000 on June 24, 2015 and $31,250 on October 5, 2015. Based on the fixed conversion ratio, these notes are treated as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and accordingly, a premium of $61,923 was recorded and charged to interest expense. On October 27, 2015 the investor converted the $146,250 investment into 499,308 shares of common stock at $.030 per share resulting in a net gain on settlement of $5,319.

Upon the consummation of the merger on April 1, 2015, the Company assumed a promissory note with a remaining principal balance of $44,325 bearing interest at 1.5% per month. The note holder gave 30 day notice to the Company on May 1, 2015 for the note to be repaid in full plus any interest due. On June 30, 2015 an Addendum to Promissory Note was executed and agreed that the payment of $46,975, $44,325 plus accrued interest of $2,650 in connection with the Debt Purchase Agreement represents the total settlement of the Note. Also, on June 30, 2015 a current shareholder and services provider agreed to assume the new $46,975 note with the existing terms and conditions and an addendum was signed for the assumption and making the note convertible into the Company’s common stock at a 50% discount to the average price for the previous 5 trading days and the new Note is non-interest bearing. The addendum was treated as a debt extinguishment. The Company recorded a premium of $46,975 since the note was convertible at a fixed rate to a fixed monetary amount equal to $93,950 pursuant to ASC 480. On December 31, 2015 the balance on the note was $93,950 which includes the $46,975 premium and there was accrued interest of $4,228.
