NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

December 15, 2021 Debenture

 

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”). The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $1,300,000 and a transaction expense amount of $20,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the Note. The Note had $2,035,000 in debt issuance costs, including fees paid in cash of $1,095,000 and 3,000,000 warrants issued to placement agents with a fair value of $940.000. The warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.32; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%. The warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt.

 

Beginning on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the Note, the Investor has the right to redeem up to $1,000,000 of the outstanding balance per month. Payments may be made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equals 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the Note. The redemption amount shall include a premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount. In addition to the Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.

 

Within 180 days of the issuance date of the Note, the Company will obtain an effective registration statement or a supplement to any existing registration statement or prospectus with the SEC registering at least $15,000,000 in shares of Common Stock for the Investor’s benefit such that any redemption using shares of Common Stock could be done using registered Common Stock. Additionally, as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of the Note, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by March 1, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. On February 7, 2022, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the SPA, which extended the date by which the Uplist must be completed to April 15, 2022. In consideration of the grant of the extension there was an extension fee of $249,079 added to the principal balance, which has been recognized as a financing cost in the accompanying consolidated financial statement. Subsequent to the year end, the date by which the Uplist had to be completed was further extended to June 15, 2022, with no additional fee included. The Company will make a one-time payment to the Investor equal to 15% of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the offering expected to be effected in connection with the Uplist (whether from the sale of shares of its Common Stock and / or preferred stock) within ten (10) days of receiving such amount. In the event Borrower does not make this payment, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. In addition, the Company had 30 days in which to secure the Note and grant the Lender a first position security interest in the real property in Texas and Iowa, and if it had not been effectuated within the 30 days the outstanding balance would have been increased by 15%. The Company was required to reserve 65,000,000 shares of common stock from its authorized and unissued common stock and to add 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the Share Reserve on or before March 10, 2022.

 

The Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include a failure to deliver conversion shares, the Company fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the Lenders written consent, the Company effectuates a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to Lender, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant, and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the Investor may consider the Note immediately due and payable. Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the Note increases from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default. As of March 31, 2022, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants and Events of Default.

 

The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivative embedded in the debenture at issuance at $12,985,000, based on assumptions used in a bi-nomial option pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.305 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 0.69% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 125.90%, and the strike price of $0.3075.

 

 

February 26, 2021 Debenture

 

On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note for the principal amount of $720,000, with an original issue discount of $120,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company. The note bears interest of 12% and is due six months from the date of issuance. The note is convertible from the date of issuance, at a fixed conversion rate of $0.36. The conversion rate shall change to $0.10 upon the event of default. The conversion feature at issuance meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and therefore qualifies for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and would not be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. 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 date of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was an approximately $164,000 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 was $27,273 and the original issuance discount was $20,000, for the year ended March 31, 2021. In April 2021 the Company paid off approximately $422,000 of the convertible note. On April 16, 2021, the Company settled the convertible note, consisting of $720,000 in principal, approximately $13,000 in accrued interest, and approximately $110,000 in redemption fee, for a total of $842,972. The Company paid $421,486 in cash, and settled the remaining balance through the conversion into the issuance of 1,303,982 common shares.

 

April 17, 2019 Debenture

 

On April 17, 2019, the Company entered into a 10% convertible promissory note for $110,000, with an OID of $10,000, for a purchase price of $100,000, which matures on January 23, 2020. The maturity date has been extended until September 1, 2020. During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at a prepayment percentage of 120% to 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from 60 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of the debenture. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. In the event of default, as set forth in the agreement, the outstanding principal balance increases to 150%. In addition to standard events of default, an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company shall lose the “bid” price for its Common Stock, on trading markets, including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange. If the Company enters into a 3 (a)(9) or 3(a)(10) issuance of shares there are liquidation damages of 25% of principal, not to be below $15,000. The Company must also obtain the noteholder’s written consent before issuing any new debt. The note is convertible at a fixed conversion price of $0.124. If an event of default occurs, the fixed conversion price is extinguished and replaced by a variable conversion rate that is 70% of the lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to conversion. The fixed conversion price shall reset upon any future dilutive issuance of shares, options or convertible securities. The conversion feature at issuance meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and therefore qualifies for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and would not be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. 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 date of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was an approximately $59,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method. There was not any amortization expense recognized during the year ended March 31, 2021, as the beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized as of December 31, 2019. On September 14, 2020, the outstanding balance of $110,000 was converted into 1,014,001 shares of common stock of the Company, at a conversion rate of $0.124.

 

 

August 24, 2018 Debenture

 

On August 24, 2018, the Company entered into a 10% convertible note in the principal amount of $55,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, which matures August 24, 2019. The interest rate increases to 24% per annum upon an event of default, as set forth in the agreement, including a cross default to all other outstanding notes, and if the debenture is not paid at maturity the principal due increases by 10%. If the Company loses its bid price the principal outstanding on the debenture increases by 20%, and if the Company’s common stock is delisted, the principal increases by 50%. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 57% of the lowest closing bid price for the last 20 days. The discount is increased an additional 10%, to 47%, upon a “DTC chill”. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability. On January 10, 2019 the outstanding principal of $55,000 and accrued interest of $1,974 was purchased from the noteholder by a third party, for $82,612. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the holder converted $57,164 of principal into 9,291,354 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

On May 5, 2020, the remaining outstanding balance of $29,057 was converted into 2,039,069 shares of common stock of the Company, at a conversion rate of $0.014. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability related to the debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall increase in the fair value of $8,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $30,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of conversion of $0.03; a risk-free interest rate of 0.13% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 158.29%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion rate that is equal to the lesser of 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to the issuance of the note or 60% of the lowest market price over the 20 days prior to conversion. The conversion price shall be adjusted upon subsequent sales of securities at a price lower than the original conversion price. There are additional 10% adjustments to the conversion price for events set forth in the agreement, including if the conversion price is less than $0.01, if the Company is not DTC eligible, the Company is no longer a reporting company, or the note cannot be converted into free trading shares on or after nine months from issue date. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note.
