Celts - I appreciate the endorsement. Speaking of CHP, his/her failures as a stock analyst continue with his/her life pursuit of trying to knock good, honest people while making his hot-headed post on the issue of additional convertible notes.
A quick and hot-headed review of the convertible notes sections in the first quarter report will reveal that CHP was correct on the issue of $115K additional convertible notes in Q1. But that is where CHP's "analysis" ended and his bashing began. Indeed, I completely disagree with his/her tone, his/her continuous credibility attacks against Bob, and his/her cigarette analogies (he/she likes cigarettes, as we have seen many references to cigarettes in his posts). He/she provided only the details that served his/her purpose and completely omitted other important sections. In fact, after reviewing all of his/her rants and company praises this morning, I had no idea whether his/her current sentiment was good or bad. Either way, his/her posts were quite the antithesis of a cool-headed analysis.
Per the company's Q&A, Scrips reported that as of December 2, 2014, its convertible note balance was as follows: $1,856,000 in convertible debt, of which $900,000 is in friendly hands (http://scripsamerica.com/q-a/). Per today's 10Q, Scrips reported its total convertible note balances on March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $869,038 and $1,039,371 respectively . Though the convertible note balance decreased as Scrips made principal payments on some notes and paid off others, and some notes converted to shares, Scrips did add convertible notes totaling $114,750 to the bucket. But it is important to understand the differences between the types of convertible notes at issue here.
Scrips separated its convertible notes into five sections (pasted verbatim below): (1) 12% Fixed rate Convertible notes payable , (2) 12% Fixed rate Convertible notes payable-related party , (3) 8% Variable Convertible notes payable , (4) 10% Variable Convertible notes payable , and (5) 12% Variable Convertible notes payable . It is clear that Scrips considers the "fixed rate" notes as friendly and the "variable notes" as unfriendly. The good news for SCRC shareholders is that last quarter's convertible notes were added to the "friendly bucket" -- the fixed rate notes.
The friendly, fixed rate notes will mature on January 31, 2015 or November 30, 2015; they are convertible at $0.17 per share. If all of the Q1-written notes converted to common stock, approximately 676K shares would be added to the float. Accounting for these new friendly notes and the principal payments on the friendly notes last quarter, the total balance of these notes increased by $65,658 (e.g., $574,778 to $648,398). So it appears that at least on the issue of friendly notes, we took one step forward and two steps back.
I do agree that comparing the "no more notes" PRs this year to today's report that Scrips actually wrote more notes could cause individuals without an understanding of these notes to question the validity of certain PRs. But there is a big difference between writing new friendly notes with a fixed conversion price of $0.17 versus writing more of the unfriendly, toxic convertible notes that have up to 150% prepayment penalties or can convert at prices of up to a 50% discount per share. And we all have painfully learned over the past seven months or more how quickly and aggressive these unfriendly note holders dump their shares. Indeed, there is a reason why this type of financing is called "toxic". To that end, it is important to know whether the company wrote additional toxic convertible notes this year, which is what I believe Bob meant when he said, "no more notes."
For clarity, here is how the company classified the three sets of unfriendly, toxic convertible notes: 8% Variable Convertible notes payable, 10% Variable Convertible notes payable, and 12% Variable Convertible notes payable . On or about December 2, 2013, the total balance of these toxic notes was about $956K, which decreased to about $344K on December 31st. On March 31, 2014, however, this balance decreased to only $108K, about an 89% decrease in since December 2nd . On December 31, 2013, SCRC started with 14 unfriendly notes and it ended with only 3 notes on March 31, 2014. And in today's first quarter report, as to each of the three types of unfriendly notes (i.e., 8% variable, 10% variable, 12% variable), Scrips told its shareholders in the legally-binding document as follows: " No new borrowings occurred. " In other words, Bob Schneiderman kept his word to the extent he meant the company he co-founded would write no new unfriendly notes.
People will accuse me of being too soft on the company or Bob, but just like the private subscription agreements that are much better than dealing with the unscrupulous toxic financiers, I will take the friendly convertible notes over the unfriendly notes 100 times out of 100. In addition, I am certain SCRC required the extra $115K at the time to fund operations and give it the financial legs it needed to confidently make the deal to acquire Main Ave Pharmacy and advance Scrips to profitability. Moreover, I sincerely believe the company was referring to the toxic, unfriendly convertible notes when it said it had stopped writing notes, not the much more friendly notes. Even so, is it not more healthy to quit smoking for a little while to clear the lungs than to not quit smoking at all?
Does anyone who ever talked to Bob seriously question his focus on improving shareholder value? Not me!
Good luck to all the loyal longs!

A quick and hot-headed review of the convertible notes sections in the first quarter report will reveal that CHP was correct on the issue of $115K additional convertible notes in Q1. But that is where CHP's "analysis" ended and his bashing began. Indeed, I completely disagree with his/her tone, his/her continuous credibility attacks against Bob, and his/her cigarette analogies (he/she likes cigarettes, as we have seen many references to cigarettes in his posts).
