NOTE 6 – OTHER ITEMS

(a) Risks and uncertainties

The Company is in the development stage of one primary product that it expects to introduce to the UK market after completion of clinical trials and CE mark approval (European Union approval of the product). The Company has entered into sales and marketing agreements for the product. It has also placed orders for the first commercial batch of transmitter devices with the electronics manufacturer Datalink Limited. It has not entered into exclusive manufacturing agreements with any of its contract manufacturers. Uncertainties still exist with regards to regulatory acceptance of the Company’s primary product development efforts and if acceptance is attained, the cost structure to produce the final product.

(b) Preferred shares

On October 5, 2017, the Company entered into common stock exchange agreements with each of its three largest shareholders, to exchange, in the aggregate, 137,324,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for 137,324 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”).  Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, automatically upon the occurrence of all of certain triggering events, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred, namely (a) the sugarBEAT® device to be commercialized has CE regulatory approval; (b) retail sales having commenced; and (c) retail sales exceeding USD$5 million, inclusive of advanced sales or voluntarily by the holder after February 7, 2018, if these triggering events have not occurred.  Each holder of issued and outstanding Series A Preferred is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred is convertible. Holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to vote on any and all matters presented to stockholders of the Company, except as provided by law.  The Series A Preferred has no preference to the common stock as to dividends or distributions of assets upon liquidation or winding up of the Company (which has been agreed to by the holders of the Series A Preferred).  The Company determined that the fair value of the shares of Series A Preferred issued for the shares of common stock was equivalent to the fair value of the shares of common stock exchanged.

On November 6, 2017, the transactions contemplated by the exchange agreements were consummated and 137,324,000 shares of common stock were cancelled.  As a result, the Company had 67,676,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2018.

On June 5, 2018, the three holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred each delivered notices of conversion to voluntarily convert their Series A Preferred, in the aggregate amount of 137,324 of Series A Preferred shares, into 137,324,000 shares of common stock.  The holders had the right to voluntarily convert each share of Series A Preferred into 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
