Related Party Notes Payable
On December 1, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the related party to repay the then remaining balance of $231,500 plus $18,370 in accrued interest. Under the terms of the agreement, the total is to be settled in cash of $125,620 divided into two payments and 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $0.062 per share. Cash payments totaling $158,875, were made in 2021, with the remaining principal balance of $57,875 paid in January 2022. Interest expense totaled $0 and $7,561 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense totaled $78 and $14,182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Convertible Promissory Notes
We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method of transition. This resulted in an increase in convertible promissory notes of $379,355, by eliminating remaining debt discount related to beneficial conversion features on outstanding notes as of January 1, 2022. See Note 2.
On September 3, 2021, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with one of its lenders. As additional consideration for entering into the forbearance agreement, the Company has agreed to issue the lender the number of shares equal to $100,000 on January 15, 2022 at a 25% discount based upon the previous 15-day average closing price. Effective after January 15, 2022, if the Company enters into an agreement with a third-party investor for consideration per share less than the $0.50 fixed price per share of the notes, the Company agrees to amend and restate the notes to reduce the conversion price. On January 20, 2022, the conversion price was reset to $0.025 for the remaining outstanding notes. The terms of the forbearance agreement have been treated as a modification to the existing notes and are being amortized over the remaining term of the notes. Amortization of $80,000 related to the stock consideration has been recorded in 2021 as interest expense.
On March 25, 2022, the Company amended the forbearance agreement. Under the amendment, the maturity dates of the outstanding notes were changed to October 1, 2022. In addition, the Company will issue 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at a fair market value of $0.0357 per share based on the quoted stock price as of the amendment date, 4,000,000 which is in lieu of the discounted shares equal to $100,000 stated in the original agreement. The Company will also make six monthly payments of $30,000. The Company made a good faith payment of $30,000 in February 2022 and its first payment under the amendment in March 2022. The terms of the forbearance agreement have been accounted for as an extinguishment of debt resulting in a loss of $205,600 which has been recorded as other expense in the accompanying statement of operations.
In June 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the above lender to convert the outstanding convertible notes payable of $617,353 and accrued interest of $51,017 into 26,734,801 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.025 per share as dictated by the terms of the notes. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the number of shares of common stock to be issued under the earlier forbearance agreement was reduced to 4,000,000 and recorded as a reduction of $142,800 in the extinguishment of debt resulting in a total loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $62,800. If, upon the one-year anniversary of the effective date, the lender and its designees have beneficial ownership over the settlement payment shares, and the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Markets is less than $0.025 per share, then for a period of thirty (30) days after the one-year anniversary, the lender and its designees shall have the right to elect, and the Company shall have the obligation, to issue additional shares to the lender and its designees. If, for a period of two years from the effective date, the Company issues, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or otherwise disposes of, or sells or issues any common stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person or entity the right to acquire, shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share less than $0.025 (such lower price a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the price per share used to calculate the settlement payment shares shall be reduced to the lower price. Convertible promissory notes issued to an investor in September 2022, resulted in a recalculation of the number of shares originally issued as the settlement payment. Additional shares totaling 17,823,171 are to be issued and have been accounted for as an extinguishment of debt resulting in a loss of $415,000 which has been recorded as other expense in the accompanying statement of operations and as an accrued expense in the accompanying balance sheet.
In April 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its lenders to push back the allowable conversion date of a convertible note payable totaling $500,000. In conjunction with the agreement, the Company issued the lender 2,500,000 warrants at an exercise price of $0.025 and with a 5-year maturity. See Note 8.
