DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

10 DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Certain of the short-term convertible notes disclosed in note 9 above and certain warrants disclosed in note 11 below, have variable priced conversion rights with no fixed floor price and will re-price dependent on the share price performance over varying periods of time and certain notes and warrants have fundamental transaction clauses which might result in cash settlement, due to these factors, all convertible notes and any warrants attached thereto are valued and give rise to a derivative financial liability, which was initially valued at inception of the convertible notes using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an additional $1,131,094 was raised as a derivative liability on variably priced convertible notes.

The value of this derivative financial liability was re-assessed at September 30, 2020, and $101,945 was charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss, respectively. The value of the derivative liability will be re-assessed at each financial reporting period, with any movement thereon recorded in the statement of operations in the period in which it is incurred.

The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes valuation model:

	Nine months ended September 30, 2020			Year ended December 31, 2019

Expected volatility of underlying stock		11.7 to 222.6	%		148.5 to 224.3	%
