FREEZE TAG, INC.
(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY
Freeze Tag, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading creator of mobile social games that are fun and engaging for all ages. Based on a free-to-play business model that has propelled games like Candy Crush Saga to worldwide success, the Company employs state-of-the-art data analytics and proprietary technology to dynamically optimize the gaming experience for revenue generation. Players can download and enjoy the Company’s games for free, or they can purchase virtual items and additional features within the game to increase the fun factor. The Company’s games encourage players to compete and engage with their friends on major social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred net losses of $497,001 and $320,387, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $7,610,834. During the period ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 3l, 2014, the Company experienced negative cash flows from operations largely due to its continued investment spending for product development of game titles for smartphones and tablets that are expected to benefit future periods. Those facts, along with our lack of access to a significant bank credit facility, create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company is currently evaluating its alternatives to secure financing sufficient to support the operating requirements of its current business plan, as well as continuing to execute its business strategy of distributing game titles to digital distribution outlets, including mobile gaming app stores, online PC and Mac gaming portals, and opportunities for new devices such as tablet (mobile internet device) applications, mobile gaming platforms and international licensing opportunities.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its success in securing sufficient financing and in successfully executing its plans to return to positive cash flows during fiscal 2015. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern.

The “Holland Family Trust Convertible Note” is convertible into Company common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 50%). “Market Price” means the average of the three lowest trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the twenty-five (25) trading-day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of conversion. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00005.
The Company evaluated the Holland Family Trust Convertible Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The note payable is convertible into common stock at the discretion of the Holland Family Trust. Furthermore, at any time, the Company may pay the balance of the unconverted note payable in cash.

The Company evaluated the Holland Accrued Salary Note and the Donahoo Accrued Salary Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, the conversion feature does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was $23,242 and $18,645, respectively, of accrued interest related to each of the notes.

The Company evaluated the Mick Donahoo Convertible Note and the Craig Holland Convertible Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The agreements modified the debt to make it convertible into common stock of the Company.

The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 50%). “Market Price” means the average of the three lowest trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the twenty-five (25) trading-day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the Conversion Date. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00005. The Convertible Cowdell Note had accrued interest of $7,659 and $6,144 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The Company evaluated the Convertible Cowdell Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The agreement modified the debt to make it convertible into common stock of the Company.
The convertible notes to an accredited investor (the “Accredited Investor”) were issued in $50,000 tranches in December 2013 and January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and December 2014, and tranches of $100,000 in November 2014, $70,000 in January 2015, two $30,000 tranches in February 2015, $40,000 in February 2015 and $110,000 in March 2015. Each note is convertible into Company common stock at the greater of (i) the Variable Conversion Price and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 50%). “Market Price” means the average of the three lowest trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the twenty-five (25) trading-day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the Conversion Date. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00005. The notes also include conversion price reset features that are triggered when new equity issuances are made by the Company; as a result, this feature caused the Company to consider this feature a derivative liability. The maturity date of the notes is generally one year from the date of funding with the exception of the last three notes issued during the three months ended March 31, 2015, which have a maturity date of nine months from the date of funding.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 on October 1, 2008. Under this FASB, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
13
|
|
The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash and debt. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Cash, accounts receivable, capitalized production costs, prepaid royalties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued royalties, accrued interest, accrued expenses, unearned royalties, notes payable – related party and technology payables reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short term nature.
The following tables provide a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As discussed in Note 4, the Company issued convertible notes payable to non-related parties that contain anti-dilutive, or down round, price protection. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives and ASC 815-40 Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company recorded a derivative liability for the price protection provisions issued within the convertible debt transactions.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative liabilities are estimated at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date using a multinomial lattice model simulation discussed below. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded current derivative liabilities of $501,728 and $438,374, respectively. The net change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was a loss of $8,753, which was reported as other expense in the statements of operations.
The following table presents details of the Company’s derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

The Company calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives using a multinomial lattice model simulation. The model is based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes.
Key inputs and assumptions used in valuing the Company’s derivative liabilities are as follows for issuances of notes:
· |
Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value |
|
· |
Down round protection is based on the subsequent issuance of common stock at prices less than the conversion feature |
|
· |
The probability of future financing was estimated at 100% |
|
· |
Computed volatility ranging from 302% to 309% |
See Note 5 for a discussion of fair value measurements.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Stock Issuances
The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock, and up to 10,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value preferred stock.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had common stock payable of $16,800 resulting from a technology transfer agreement with an unrelated party that obligated the Company to issue a total of 96,000 shares of its common stock, payable in 8 quarterly installments of 12,000 shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued a total of 27,192,590 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor in conversion of $27,600 principal and $3,357 accrued interest payable at a conversion prices ranging from $0.00097 to $0.00135 per share. As a result of the debt conversions, common stock was increased by $27,193 and additional paid-in capital was increased by $71,889.
2006 Stock Option Plan
The 2006 Stock Option Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors in March of 2006. A total of 550,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance to employees, consultants and directors upon exercise of incentive and non-statutory options and stock purchase rights which may be granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”). On October 15, 2009, 235,000 of those options were exercised, leaving 315,000 shares available for issuance to employees. Because of the 5.31-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s common stock on October 15, 2009, there are now 1,512,650 shares available for issuance as a part of this stock plan. As of March 31, 2015, there were 560,000 options outstanding to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no shares of Common Stock had been issued pursuant to stock purchase rights under the 2006 Plan.
Under the 2006 Plan, options may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants. Only employees may receive “incentive stock options,” which are intended to qualify for certain tax treatment, and consultants and directors may receive “non-statutory stock options,” which do not qualify for such treatment. A holder of more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares may only be granted options with an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, and if such holder has incentive stock options, the term of the options must not exceed five years.
Options and stock purchase rights granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest ratably over a four year period (typically 1⁄4 or 25% of the shares vest after the 1st year and 1/48 of the remaining shares vest each month thereafter); however, alternative vesting schedules may be approved by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Any unvested portion of an option or stock purchase right will accelerate and become fully vested if a holder’s service with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause within twelve months following a Change in Control (as defined in the 2006 Plan).
16
|
|
All options must be exercised within ten years after the date of grant. Upon a holder’s termination of service for any reason prior to a Change in Control, the Company may repurchase any shares issued to such holder upon the exercise of options or stock purchase rights. The Board of Directors may amend the 2006 Plan at any time. The 2006 Plan will terminate in 2016, unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors.
The Company did not grant any stock options or warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and did not record any stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
A summary of the status of the options and warrants issued by the Company as of March 31, 2015, and changes during the three months then ended is presented below:

NOTE 8 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options, warrants and rights outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the diluted weighted average number of shares is the same as the basic weighted average number of shares as the conversion of debt, options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company had convertible notes payable to related parties totaling $1,456,254 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. See Note 4 for a detailed disclosure of this related party debt, including interest rates, terms of conversion and other repayment terms. Accrued interest payable to related parties was $104,014 and $68,106 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
NOTE 10 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and through the date of the filing of this report that we believe are applicable to or would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we received additional consideration of $88,000 from an accredited investor pursuant to an existing convertible promissory note. The note payable matures nine months from the date of each payment of consideration and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The conversion terms are the same as those described in Note 4 for the prior convertible notes payable to the accredited investor.
Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we issued a total of 21,574,287 shares of our common stock in the conversion of convertible notes payable principal totaling $17,900 and accrued interest payable totaling $2,447.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes located elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Summary Overview
Freeze Tag, Inc. is a leading creator of mobile social games that are fun and engaging for all ages. Based on a free-to-play business model that has propelled games like Candy Crush Saga to worldwide success, we employ state-of-the-art data analytics and proprietary technology to dynamically optimize the gaming experience for revenue generation. Players can download and enjoy our games for free, or they can purchase virtual items and additional features within the game to increase the fun factor. Our games encourage players to compete and engage with their friends on major social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
During our most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, we generated revenues of $7,903 from the sales our games compared to $14,842 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Our business strategy is now focused on free-to-play games that require constant updates and new content to keep players engaged. Therefore, we no longer measure our success based upon the quantity of titles we launch, but rather on the metrics we receive as we monitor and try to improve upon our games in the market. On November 6, 2014, we released our most recent update to Party Animals: Dance Battle and began a worldwide (English only) promotion and press campaign of the game. In fiscal year 2015, we anticipate continuing to release updates to Party Animals: Dance Battle and begin development and testing on at least four other titles with a goal to release one title per quarter.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we generated a net loss of $497,001, primarily attributable to increases in cost of sales and interest, as described below.

Going Concern Uncertainty
As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred net losses of $497,001 and $320,387, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, our accumulated deficit was $7,610,834. During the period ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 3l, 2014, we experienced negative cash flows from operations largely due to our continued investment spending for product development of game titles for smartphones and tablets that are expected to benefit future periods. Those facts, along with our lack of access to a significant bank credit facility, create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, we are currently evaluating our alternatives to secure financing sufficient to support the operating requirements of our current business plan, as well as continuing to execute our business strategy of distributing game titles to digital distribution outlets, including mobile gaming app stores, online PC and Mac gaming portals, and opportunities for new devices such as tablet (mobile internet device) applications, mobile gaming platforms and international licensing opportunities.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our success in securing sufficient financing and in successfully executing our plans to return to positive cash flows during fiscal 2015. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Our revenues decreased $6,939 to $7,903 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $14,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our revenues decreased due to our focused efforts on building games in the free-to-play game genre. Previously, the majority of our released game titles were “pay-per-download”, where the consumer paid to download the game onto their device, leading to revenue per download. Now our games are free to download and play, but have built-in features that require the consumer to pay if they want to access the feature, which means our revenue is tied to when the consumer pays to access the features, if they do. Our revenue can typically fluctuate based on when we release our games and the popularity of the games we release.
We are continuing development on Party Animals (one of our free-to-play games). We released an update in the third quarter of 2014, and have released the game for Worldwide (English language only) distribution as of November 6, 2014. We are currently working on two other free-to-play titles, with the goal of releasing four titles in 2015.

Our cost of sales increased $103,784 to $127,324 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $23,540 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our cost of sales includes royalties, subcontractors and internal costs of programming, analytics, and design .

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10,055 to $150,679 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $140,624 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in public relations services and payroll expense. Our sales and marketing also increased due to promotional and research efforts related to acquiring users and game testing Party Animals: Dance Battle.
Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6,100 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $6,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in depreciation and amortization 2014 was due to our property and equipment being fully depreciated and to no amounts of technology subject to amortization.
Other Income (Expense)
Our interest expense increased $54,050 to $217,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $163,698 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in interest expense is due to the increase in our debt in the current year and the related debt discounts that are amortized to interest expense.
Our estimate of the fair value of the derivative liability for the conversion feature of our convertible notes payable is based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, and variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective loan agreements. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability will fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuation may be material. We reported a loss on change in derivative liability of $8,753 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We reported no gain or loss on change in derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Net Loss
As a result of the above, our net loss increased to $497,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $320,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
As of March 31, 2015, we had current assets of $38,904 and current liabilities of $3,628,617, resulting in a working capital deficit of $3,589,713. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,610,834 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $3,589,713 as of March 31, 2015.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash balance as of March 31, 2015 was $25,594, and our monthly cash flow burn rate, based on the three month period ended March 31, 2015, is approximately $90,000. As a result, we have significant short-term cash needs. These needs are currently being satisfied primarily from the proceeds from short-term convertible debt. We intend to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt from third parties and other related parties until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

Sources and Uses of Cash
We used cash of $269,094 in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of our net loss of $497,001 and decreases in accounts payable of $7,342 and unearned royalties of $1,833, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $167,697, decreases in accounts receivable, net of $8,002, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3,130, and increases in accrued expenses of $331, accrued interest payable – related party of $35,908 and accrued interest payable of $22,014.
By comparison, we used cash of $147,006 in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of our net loss of $320,387 and decreases in accounts payable of $3,890 and unearned royalties of $2,425, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $129,463, decreases in accounts receivable, net of $2,312 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,082, and increases in accrued expenses of $6,510, accrued interest payable – related party of $35,800 and accrued interest payable of $4,529.
We had no cash provided by or used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
We had net cash provided by financing activities of $280,000 and $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, comprised of borrowings of debt – proceeds from the issuance of short-term convertible notes payable to non-related parties.
Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants
We have no disclosures required by this item.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs, expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are often based on historical experience and judgments that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time made. However, all such estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and actual results may differ. For further information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2014.
ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of the three month period ended March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we engaged an outside financial consultant to address the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting that we have previously reported related to insufficient segregation of duties and the documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls. The financial consultant now allows us to further segregate the preparation and review of key account analyses and reconciliations, more timely close our quarterly accounting records and prepare our quarterly financial statements, and improve our documentation of material transactions.
Other than the changes reported in the preceding paragraph, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 1A Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we issued the following unregistered securities:
On February 11, 2015, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note”) with an accredited investor (the "Accredited Investor") under which the Accredited Investor agreed to loan us up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). The Note bears interest at Ten Percent (10%) per annum and matures on November 11, 2015. Under the terms of the Note, the Accredited Investor agreed to loan us Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) upon execution of the Note and can loan us the additional amounts up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) at any time in their sole discretion. The Accredited Investor has the right, at any time after February 11, 2015, at its election, to convert all or part of the amounts due to it under the Note into shares of our common stock. The conversion price shall be the lesser of (a) $0.003 per share of our common stock or (b) Fifty Percent (50%) of the average of the three (3) lowest trade prices on three (3) separate trading days of our common stock recorded after February 11, 2015, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity after February 11, 2015 to acquire our common stock or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements, exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire our common stock or outstanding our common stock equivalents, excluding any lower price per share offered to any of our officers and directors. However, the Accredited Investor may not convert the amounts due under the Note into shares of our common stock if such conversion would cause it to own more than 4.99% of our then-outstanding common stock. Based on the representation and warranties provided by the Accredited Investor in the investment documents, the issuance of the Note was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, due to the fact the Accredited Investor is an accredited investor and is familiar with our operations.
ITEM 3 Defaults Upon Senior Securities
There have been no events that are required to be reported under this Item.
ITEM 4 Mine Safety Disclosures
There is no information required to be disclosed by this Item.
ITEM 5 Other Information
There is no information required to be disclosed by this Item.

|

|
|
||
5.3 |
In the event Freeze Tag determines, acting reasonably, that the work covered by a Completion Notice does not substantially conform to the applicable Product Specifications and/or Milestone requirements, Freeze Tag shall provide written notice to Gogii containing a detailed description of the failure to conform (the “ Defect Notice ”).

EXHIBIT 10.31
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$500,000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Freeze Tag, Inc. , a Delaware corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 184,518,250 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Accredited Investor , or its assignees (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”). This Note shall become effective on February 11, 2015 (the “Effective Date”).
The Principal Sum is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $500,000 ) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Consideration is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $500,000 ) payable by wire . The Lender shall pay Thirty Thousand Dollars ( $30,000) of the Consideration upon execution of this Note (the “Initial Consideration”). The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion (the “Additional Consideration”). The Principal Sum due to the Lender, and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Initial Consideration plus any Additional Consideration actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded portion of this Note.
1. Maturity Date . The Maturity Date is nine ( 9 ) months from the Effective Date of each payment of Consideration (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be due and payable.
2. Interest . This Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent ( 10% ) per year.
3. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) $0.003 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent ( 50% ) of the average of the three ( 3 ) lowest trade prices on three ( 3 ) separate trading days of Common Stock recorded after the original Effective Date of this Note, February 11, 2015 , or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity after the Effective Date to acquire Common Stock or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements, exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire Common Stock or outstanding Common Stock equivalents; however, this Section 3(c) shall exclude any lower price per share offered to officers and directors of the Borrower (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion formula shall be as follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. The Lender shall pay the transfer agent fees for the issuance of share certificates. If the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Borrower is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then after receiving the Initial Consideration, the Borrower agrees to begin a good faith effort to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program. The Conversion Price shall be 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.

4. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3 , the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note consistent with applicable securities laws). If the Borrower is unable to deliver shares under this provision, due to an insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Lender agrees not to force the Borrower to issue the shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that the Borrower takes immediate steps necessary to obtain the appropriate approval from shareholders and/or the board of directors, where applicable, to increase the number of authorized shares to satisfy the Conversion Notice.
5. Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Lender 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 Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note 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 Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of 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 Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, 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 Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
6. Payment . The Borrower may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date. Within six (6) days prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall provide Lender with a written notice to pay the Note Amount on the Maturity Date. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment of the Note Amount or (b) convert any part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock and the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Note Amount by the Maturity Date, or (c) modify the Maturity Date to be up to eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date.
7. Piggyback Registration Rights . The Borrower shall include on the next registration statement the Borrower files with the SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) excluding S-8 registration statements for employee stock grant and option plans, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144. Failure to do so shall result in liquidated damages of Twenty Five Percent ( 25% ) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note being immediately due and payable to the Lender at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

8. Lender’s Representations . The Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that (i) it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) it understands that this Note and the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note (collectively, the “Securities”) have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Lender’s investment intention; in this connection, the Lender hereby represents that it is purchasing the Securities for the Lender’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, that Lender may syndicate participations in the Securities among a limited number of participants who all meet the suitability standards of an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and will share among themselves and the Lender an economic interest in the Securities on a pari passu, pass through basis with investment intent, such that the availability of the private placement exemption for the issuance of the Note under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act is preserved, (iii) the Lender, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities, (iv) the Lender acknowledges that the issuance of this Note has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the issuance of this Note is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, and (v) the Lender acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Note, the Borrower’s filings with the SEC (including without limitation, any risk factors included in the Borrower’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K), and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, and hereby represents that it has been furnished by the Borrower with all information regarding the Borrower, the terms and conditions of the purchase and any additional information that the Lender has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Borrower concerning the Borrower and the terms and conditions of the purchase.
9. Borrower’s Representations . The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that (i) the Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to carry out the business in which it proposes to engage, and (ii) the Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note and to issue and sell this Note, and (iii) all necessary proceedings of the Borrower have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Note, and when this Note is executed and delivered by the Borrower, it will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
10. Default . The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over the Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Borrower shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or (v) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Borrower shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against the Borrower; or (viii) the Borrower shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Borrower’s shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the DTC System; or (ix) the Borrower shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC; or (x) the Borrower shall commit a material breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties in this Note.

11. Remedies . In the event of any default, the funded portion of the Note Amount shall become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount. The Mandatory Default Amount shall be 150% of the funded portion of the Note Amount. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on the Mandatory Default Amount shall accrue at a default interest rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Lender need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. While the Mandatory Default Amount is outstanding and default interest is accruing, the Lender shall have all rights as a holder of this Note until such time as the Lender receives full payment pursuant to this paragraph, or has converted all the remaining Mandatory Default Amount and any other outstanding fees and interest into Common Stock under the terms of this Note. In the event of any default and at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall file a registration statement with the SEC to register all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that are otherwise eligible to have their restrictive transfer legend removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

The parties hereto expressly decline the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods .
12.4 Assignment . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that DEVELOPER may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time before thirty (30) days following the Commercial Release of the Product have elapsed without the prior written approval of Freeze Tag. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DEVELOPER may assign its rights and its benefits (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to a third party, but must first obtain written approval from Freeze Tag in order to do so, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
12.5 Construction . If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
12.6 Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach or default of any provision to this Agreement by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or default of the same or any other provision, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has or may have thereunder operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege of such party.
12.7 Survival of Obligations. All obligations and associated rights under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and continue to be enforceable.
12.8 Severability. In the event that any provision or particular application of a provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable because it is invalid or in conflict with any law of any relevant jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions or of other applications of the affected provision shall not be affected and the rights and obligations of the parties shall not be construed and enforced as if this Agreement did not contain the particular provision or particular application of that provision that is held to be unenforceable.
12.9 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in interpreting or construing this Agreement.

12.10 Counterparts and Facsimile . This Agreement may be executed (including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature) in one or more counterparts, with the same effect as if the Parties had signed the same document. Each counterpart so executed will be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts will be construed together and will constitute one Agreement.
12.11 Force Majeure . Neither party shall be responsible for any delays or failure to perform caused by or resulting from any act, omission or condition beyond the respective Party’s reasonable control, whether or not foreseeable, including without limitation Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, war, governmental regulations, fire, power failure, earthquakes, severe weather or other natural disaster, or any failure of software, hardware or communications equipment.
12.12 Entire Agreement . This Agreement does not constitute an offer by Freeze Tag or DEVELOPER and it shall not be effective until signed by both parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Development of the Products specified in Exhibit A and subsequent detailed Exhibits , and all other subject matter hereof and merges all prior and contemporaneous communications. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed on behalf of DEVELOPER and Freeze Tag by their respective duly authorized representatives.
