During
2020,
$9,600,000
plus
$11,579,043
in associated accrued interest payable to Global Holdings International, LLC (“GHI”) was derecognized. The note matured on
June 30, 2016
and the Company was in default. As at
no
time since the default on the loan did GHI, its principal, agent or its attorneys reach out via mail, e-mail, text or phone to demand payment on the loan. The Company reached out numerous times and never received a response or demand for payment or notice of default on the loan. CEN's last attempt occurred in
November 2020.
The note, related interest and venue for the agreement are governed by Ontario Law and according to the Ontario Limitations Act (Limitations Act,
2002,
S.O.
2002,
c.
24,
Sched. B) the statute of limitations is
2
years from the date of default under the note. The date of default was
June 30, 2016,
which is over the
2
-year Statute of Limitation (SOL) period, and therefore the lender is outside of the SOL and cannot bring an action in Court against the Company for the debt. As a result of the legal finding, and having exhausted all reasonable efforts to contact GHI, the Company exercised its legal rights to derecognize the principal and interest obligations related to the related note with GHI which in accordance with ASC

(b), is when CEN is judicially released from its obligations under the note.
 
During both
2020
and
2019,
72,000
common shares were issued to individuals for loans made to CEN. Accordingly, during the
2020
and
2019,
$63,720
and
$67,500
in interest expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded, respectively.
