NOTE G - SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK NOTE G — SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK    On March 13, 2020, the Company’s board of directors made the determination that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to conserve the Company’s working capital at this time and not make the annual dividend payment for the year ended December 31, 2019, on its Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A”). The Company has never made an annual dividend payment on its Series A.    The holders of shares of the Series A are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s board of directors, dividends in cash in the amount of one cent per share per annum through December 31, 2016, five cents per share per annum through December 31, 2017, six cents per share per annum through December 31, 2018, seven cents per share per annum through December 31, 2019, eight cents per share per annum through December 31, 2020, nine cents per share per annum through December 31, 2021, ten cents per share per annum through December 31, 2022, eleven cents per share per annum through December 31, 2023, and twelve cents per share per annum thereafter, payable within 90 days following the 31st day of December each year on such date as determined by the board of directors. The dividends are cumulative and beginning January 1, 2017, the board of directors of the Company may elect to make any required dividend payment with the Company’s unregistered common stock in lieu of cash.
