NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

As discussed on Note 4 – Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged the preferred stock warrants and convertible notes payable for Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the agreement, the derivative liability was reduced to $-0-.

 

Preferred Stock Warrants

 

During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 27,532 warrants to purchase common stock as part of its preferred stock offering. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at $50.82 per share. Additionally, the warrant holder is entitled to a cashless exercise after nine months from issuance in which the holder is entitled to receive a number of shares equal to: [A] the number of outstanding warrant shares under the original issuance multiplied by [B] the greater of the trailing five day volume weighted average price less [A] the number of outstanding warrant shares under the original issuance multiplied by [C] the exercise price of the warrant under the original issuance divided by [D] the lesser of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price during the five trailing trading days or the volume weighted average price for the trading day immediately prior to the cashless exercise election. For clarity, the resulting formula is [(A x B) – (A x C)] / D. 

 

The Company analyzed the conversion features of the cashless exercise feature in the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded features should be classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price of these warrants are subject to a variable rate. The Company has determined that warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded a derivative liability.

 

Upon issuance, the Company valued the derivative using a Black-Scholes model yielding a total value of $674,012 which was expensed during the year ended August 31, 2018. The Company used the following assumptions upon initial measurement: value per common share of $27.72, a remaining life of 3.0 years, an exercise price of $50.82, a risk-free rate of 2.77% and volatility of 195%. As discussed on Note 4 – Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged the preferred stock warrants and convertible notes payable for Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the agreement, the preferred stock warrants were reduced to -0-.

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

As discussed in Note 7 – Notes Payable, the Company signed various convertible promissory note with an investor as follows:

 

On August 27, 2019, the Company signed a $30,000 convertible promissory note with an investor. The note principal and interest are convertible into shares of common stock at a 25% discount to the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 prior trading days including the day the notice of conversion is received by the Company.

 

The Company analyzed the conversion feature and determined it meets the definition of a derivative liability instrument because the conversion rate is variable and therefore does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria outlined in ASC 815-40-15. As a result, the conversion features of the notes are recorded as a derivative liability at fair value and marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value each period charged or credited to other income (expense).

 

Upon issuance, the Company valued the derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model yielding a total value of $50,277 which was recorded as a derivative liability during the year ended August 31, 2019.
