As of August 31, 2018, this balance was forgiven and was included as part of the $168,048 Cancellation of Debt Income on the Statement of Operations.

In November 30, 2017 – August 31, 2018, we issued a $35,554 in multiple notes payable to an entity related to the legal custodian of the Company.

During the three months ended February 29, 2020, we issued two convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $133,101 in exchange for accrued expenses owed to related parties, of which $79,333 is payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and $53,768 is payable to our previous Chief Financial Officer, Robert L.

Mr. Hymers has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a variable conversion price of 50% of the average of the previous twenty (20) trading day closing prices of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the variable conversion prices, upon issuance, the Company recognized total debt discount of $133,101, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. On May 22, 2020, Mr. Hymers converted the principal amount of $79,333 and interest of $2,608, for a total amount of $81,941.55 into 694,902 common shares.
