The Company is the holder of 250,000 LBX Tokens.  The Company purchased the LBX Tokens for the consideration of $2,000,000 of Round A Convertible Debt and 76,924 Warrant “A-2” issued to an affiliated party.  The token issuance process is undertaken by a related party, Land Betterment Corporation, and is predicated on proactive environmental stewardship and regulatory bond releases.  As of June 30, 2022, there is no market for the LBX Token and therefore the purchase price of $8 per token has been assigned for fair value. The consideration issued for the 250,000 tokens was in the form of a $2,000,000 convertible note.  Due to the lack of market or independent market level transactions, the value assigned to the LBX Token of $0 as of June 30, 2024. The intangible will be treated as an indefinite lived asset. Pursuant to ASC 350-30-35-20, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” subsequent re-evaluation of the assigned value is not permitted.
