On April 14, 2021, the Board authorized the issuance of 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock and has filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with the State of Nevada. The shares of Series E Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,200 per share and are convertible into shares of common stock at the election of the holder of the Series E Preferred Stock at any time at a price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Series E Stated Value (plus any and all other amounts which may be owing in connection therewith) by the Conversion Price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. Each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding and held by such holder, dividends at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, payable quarterly. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company on the date that is no later than one calendar year from the date of its issuance. The Series D PS are also redeemable at the Company's option, at percentages ranging from 115% to 125% for the first 180 days, based on the passage of time. The holders of Series E Preferred Stock rank senior to the Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series E Designation) with respect to payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation and will vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, on each matter submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock (whether at a meeting of shareholders or by written consent). Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing for each share of Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

Series B Preferred Equity Offering

On April 8, 2021, the Company converted 262 Series B into 3,144,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), for the offering (the “Offering”) of (i) $5,000,000 worth of common stock (“Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”); at a per share purchase price of $0.55 per Share (ii) common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which are exercisable for a period of five years after issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to certain adjustments, as provided in the Warrants; and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on April 15, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $4,732,123 from the Purchaser.

 

Further, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, from the date thereof until the date that is the twelve-month anniversary of the closing of the Offering, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on May 5, 2021, the Purchaser purchased an additional 15,454,456 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $0.55 per share (the “Second Closing”), for net proceeds of approximately $8,245,000.

 

Additionally, on May 20, 2021, the Purchaser purchased an additional 2,727,272 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.55 per share (“Third Closing”), for net proceeds of approximately $1,455,000.

 

GHS Purchase Agreement

 

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with GHS (the “June GHS Purchase Agreement”) for the offering of up to (i) $3,000,000 worth of common stock of the Company at a per share purchase price of $0.40 and (ii) $11,000 worth of prefunded common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,100,000 shares of common stock, which are exercisable upon issuance and shall not expire prior to exercise, and are subject to certain adjustments, as provided in the warrants. Pursuant to the June GHS Purchase Agreement, on June 28, 2021, GHS purchased 7,500,000 shares of common stock and 1,100,000 shares of common stock underlying the prefunded warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,011,000, less offering expenses of $90,330, for net proceeds of $2,909,670.

Share Exchange Agreement and Redemption

 

On April 14, 2021, the Company, entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with a holder of the Series D Preferred Stock, whereby, at the closing of the Offering, the Holder agreed to exchange an aggregate of 3,600 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) into 3,739.63 shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The exchange was completed on April 15, 2021. In accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2, exchanges of preferred stock that are considered to be extinguishments are to be accounted for as a redemption. Therefore, the difference between the fair value of the Series E Preferred Stock transferred to the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock and the carrying amount of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the exchange, which was $3,258,189, was accounted for in a manner similar to a dividend. During the three months ended September 30. 2021, 1,200 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into 4,114,286 shares of common stock.

 

In addition, in relation to the Offering, on April 15, 2021, the Company redeemed the remaining 2,450 of the Series D PS for $3,513,504. In accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock and the carrying amount of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the redemption, which was $2,719,538, was accounted for in a manner similar to a dividend.

 

Leak-Out Agreements

 

In connection with the issuance of a total of 13,861,386 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the SPA (Note 10) and the Patents Agreement (Note 5) (the “Shares”), the Company and F&T, on May 19, 2021, entered into two separate leak-out agreements (the “Leak-Out Agreements”). Pursuant to the Leak-Out Agreements, F&T agreed that it would not sell or transfer the Shares for six months following the closing of the SPA and Patents Agreement and that, following these six months, each shareholder of F&T who was issued a portion of the Shares could sell up to one-sixth of their portion of the Shares every thirty-day period occurring thereafter for the next six months. Following the one-year anniversary of the closings, there will be no further restrictions regarding the sale or transfer of the Shares.

 

Common Shares Issued to Consultants

 

On April 14, 2021, 500,000 shares of common stock were issued to a consultant per an agreement entered into on January 20, 2021 for advisory services for a two-year period. The shares had a fair value of $195,000, based on the market price of $0.39 on the grant date. 62,500 common shares shall vest each quarter through October 1, 2022, at $24,275, with $73,126 vested through the September 30, 2021.

 

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant, with a three-month term, that shall automatically renew each three months unless one party terminates the agreement. The compensation shall be $12,500 in cash per month for the first six months and $15,000 per month thereafter. Also included in compensation are 200,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $99,600 based upon the market price of $0.50 upon the grant date. The shares of common stock will vest in quarterly installments, with 50,000 to vest immediately. The shares of common stock have not yet been issued, and therefore the 50,000 vested shares, at $24,900, are included in Shares payable.

 

On August 24, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to a consultant per an agreement entered into on June 25, 2020. On December 25, 2020, the Company renewed the agreement for an additional six months. As consideration for the agreement the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the consultant. The agreement has a six-month term, and therefore the fair value of $616,500, based on the market value of $0.041 on the grant date, was recognized in Prepaid expense to be amortized over the six-month term. As of the year end March 31, 2021, $308,250 remained in Prepaid expense with $308,250 recognized in consulting expense for the year end March 31, 2021. The remaining $308,250 was expensed in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, the Company had 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001. Of this amount, 5,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are authorized and outstanding, 5,000 shares Series B preferred stock are authorized and 607 and 2,250 outstanding, and 20,000 shares Series D preferred stock are authorized and 6,050 and zero outstanding, respectively.

 

Series B

 

On September 5, 2019, the Board authorized the issuance of 5,000 preferred shares to be designated as Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B PS”). The Series B PS have a par value of $0.0001, a stated value of $1,200 and no voting rights. The Series B PS include 10% cumulative dividends, payable quarterly. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series B PS shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing for each share of Series B PS before any payment or distribution shall be made to the holders of any Junior securities. The Series B PS are redeemable at the Company's option, at percentages ranging from 120% to 135% for the first 180 days, based on the passage of time. The Series B are also redeemable at the holder’s option, upon the occurrence of a triggering event which includes a change of control, bankruptcy, and the inability to deliver Series B PS requested under conversion notices. The triggering redemption amount is at the greater of (i) 135% of the stated value or (ii) the product of the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the day proceeding the triggering event multiplied by the stated value divided by the conversion price. As the redemption feature at the holder’s option is contingent on a future triggering event, the Series B PS is considered contingently redeemable, and as such the preferred shares are classified in equity until such time as a triggering event occurs, at which time they will be classified as mezzanine.

 

The Series B PS is convertible, at the discounted market price which is defined as the lowest VWAP over last 20 days. The conversion price is adjustable based on several situations, including future dilutive issuances. As the Series B PS does not have a redemption date and is perpetual preferred stock, it is considered to be an equity host instrument and as such the conversion feature is not required to be bifurcated as it is clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument.

 

Series B Preferred Equity Offering

 

On September 17, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with GHS Investments LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”) for the purchase of up to 5,000 shares of Series B PS at a stated value of $1,200 per share, or for a total net proceeds of $5,000,000 in the event the entire 5,000 shares of Series B PS are purchased. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company received $3,250,000 for the issuance of 3,250 Series B PS. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion option on several of the tranches was calculated at a total of $1,335,000, which was fully amortized upon issuance, as the Series B PS is immediately convertible into common stock. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company has converted 5,008 Series B PS which includes 115 Series B PS dividends-in-kind into 113,517,030 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 2,250 Series B Preferred Shares in various tranches of the SPA, totaling $2,250,000. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion option on several of the tranches was calculated at a total of $475,000, which was fully amortized upon issuance, as the Series B PS is immediately convertible into common stock.

 

Series D Preferred Stock

 

On December 16, 2020, the Board authorized the issuance of 20,000 preferred shares to be designated as Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D PS”). The Series D PS have a par value of $0.0001, a stated value of $1,200 and will vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis. In addition, as further described in the Series D Designation, as long as any of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will not take certain corporate actions without the affirmative vote at a meeting (or the written consent with or without a meeting) of the majority of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding. Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding and held by such holder, dividends at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Preferred Dividends”). Dividends may be paid in cash or in shares of Preferred Stock at the discretion of the Company.

The Series D PS are convertible into Common Stock at the election of the holder of the Series D PS at any time following five days after a qualified offering (defined as an offering of common stock for an aggregate price of at least $10,000,000 resulting in the listing for trading of the Common Stock on the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange) at a 35% discount to the offering price, or, if a qualified offering has not occurred, at a price of $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment based on several situations, including future dilutive issuances and a Fundamental Transaction.

 

The Series D PS shall be redeemed by the Corporation on the date that is no later than one calendar year from the date of its issuance. The Series D PS are also redeemable at the Company's option, at percentages ranging from 115% to 125% for the first 180 days, based on the passage of time. The Company shall redeem the Series D PS in cash upon a three business days prior notice to the holder or the holder may convert the Series D PS within such three business days period prior to redemption. Additionally, the holder shall have the right to either redeem for cash or convert the Preferred Stock into Common Stock within three business days following the consummation of a qualified offering. The Series D PS are also redeemable at the holder’s option, upon the occurrence of a triggering event which includes a change of control, bankruptcy, and the inability to deliver shares of common stock requested under conversion notices. The triggering redemption amount is 150% of the stated value.

 

Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series D PS shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing for each share of Series D PS before any payment or distribution shall be made to the holders of any Junior securities.

 

As the Series D PS has a conditional redemption date, as it is convertible, it is classified in mezzanine and, it is considered to be a debt host instrument. The conversion price, unless and until there is a qualified offering, is a fixed price and as such the conversion feature is not required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company will analyze the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, at each issuance date and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the commitment date as compared to the conversion price, determine if there is a beneficial conversion feature to recognize.

 

The Series D Designation are subject to certain Registration Rights, whereby if the Corporation does not complete a market listing to the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing) within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company will, within ten (10) calendar days, file a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Preferred Shares. Additionally, the Company will include the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Preferred Shares in any registration statement which is being filed by the Corporation’s existing investment banker, provided, that said registration statement is not yet effective with the SEC and provided that the Company receives the prior written approval of said investment banker. There is no penalty provision associated with not registering the underlying shares of common stock.

The aggregate purchase price per Purchaser for the Series D PS is $5,000,000. With a stated value of $6,000,000 for the purchased Series D PS, there is a discount of $1,000,000 to be accreted over the period until the redemption of the Series D PS. In connection with the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Purchasers were granted 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Commitment Shares”), which have a fair value of $1,616,250 based on the market price of the common shares of $0.27 on the date of the Series D PS purchase.

The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the dates of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was a $8,471,000, capped at $5,000,000 based on the purchase price of the Series D PS, beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method.

 

On January 8 and 10, 2021, the Company entered into additional securities purchase agreements with the Purchaser, for 1,050 shares of Series D PS, at an aggregate purchase price of $1,050,000. With a stated value of $1,250,000 for the purchased Series D PS, there is a discount of $250,000 to be accreted over the period until the redemption of the Series D PS.

 

The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the dates of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was a $3,022,000, capped at $1,050,000 based on the purchase price of the Series D PS, beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method.

 

The amortization of the beneficial conversion feature recognized during the year ended March 31, 2021 amounted to approximately $1,721,000. The accretion of the redemption for the year ended March 31, 2021 was $302,500.
