NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2022

(Unaudited)

 

[5] Effective March 30, 2021 we restructured a $1,000,000 promissory note with $200,000 of accrued interest, along with a $350,000 short-term advance, with Joseph Cammarata, our then Chief Executive Officer. The new note had a principal balance of $1,550,000, had a 5% interest rate, and was convertible at $0.02 per share. As a result of the fixed conversion price we recorded a beneficial conversion feature and debt discount of $1,550,000 on March 30, 2021, which was equal to the face value of the note. Effective September 21, 2021 we entered into an amendment to the note to extend the due date to September 30, 2022, allow for partial conversions, and change the conversion price to $0.008 per share. As the terms of the note changed substantially, we accounted for the amendment as an extinguishment and new note. Through September 21, 2021 we recognized $738,904 of the initial debt discount into interest expense, removed $806,849 of the remaining debt discount from the books, recorded a beneficial conversion feature due to the fixed conversion price and a debt discount of $1,550,000, which was equal to the face value of the amended note, and recorded a net $743,151 into additional paid in capital as a gain due to the extinguishment transaction being between related parties and thus a capital transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recognized the remaining $1,131,417 of the $1,550,000 debt discount into interest expense. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 we expensed $19,626 of interest expense on the debt. During February 2022, we provided 30 days’ notice of our intent to retire and repay the Cammarata Note in cash. Having not timely received a properly executed conversion notice within the proscribed period, and citing certain other damages incurred by us arising from Mr. Cammarata’s legal proceedings, on March 30, 2022, we tendered to Mr. Cammarata cash payment in full for the Cammarata Note. As of the date of this filing, Mr. Cammarata has not yet accepted our tender of the cash payment, and instead has asserted his entitlement to exercise his right to convert the Cammarata Note into our common shares (see NOTE 13).
   
[6] On March 22, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to purchase 100% of the operating assets of SSA Technologies LLC, an entity that owns and operates a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. SSA is controlled and partially owned by Joseph Cammarata, our former Chief Executive Officer. Commencing upon execution of the agreements and through the closing of the transactions, we agreed to provide certain transition service arrangements to SSA. In connection with the transactions, we entered into a Working Capital Promissory Note with SSA under which SSA was to have advanced to us up to $1,500,000 before the end of 2021; however, SSA has only provided advances of $1,200,000 to date. The note bears interest at the rate of 0.11% per annum therefore we recognized $330 worth of interest expense on the loan during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The note was due and payable by January 31, 2022; however, has not yet been repaid as we consider our legal options in light of SSA’s failure to complete its funding obligations. The note was to have been secured by the pledge of 12,000,000 shares of our common stock; however, it remains unsecured as the pledge of shares was not implemented at the closing of the loan.

 

In addition to the above-mentioned related-party lending arrangements, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 we entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreements”) with Mario Romano and Annette Raynor, two of the Company’s founders and former members of management and the Board of Directors, and Wealth Engineering, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor. Under the Separation Agreements, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor agreed to resign their positions as officers and directors of the Company effective immediately as they each transition to the roles of strategic advisors to the Company. In conjunction with the Separation Agreements Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor forfeited 75,000,000 shares each, which were returned to the Company and cancelled, and we repurchased a total of 43,101,939 shares from Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor in exchange for cash of $1,724,008, which was paid to federal and state taxing authorities on behalf of Wealth Engineering, LLC as payment for the estimated federal and state taxes that Wealth Engineering, LLC may be subject to in connection with the vesting of 63,333,333 Company restricted shares that vested on July 22, 2021 (see NOTE 9).
