NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company analysed the conversion options in its convertible notes and warrants for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the discounted variable-rate conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

 

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of June 30, 2023. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, expected time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

The estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities:
