One World Products Inc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

One World Products, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 2, 2014. On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with OWP Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures, Inc. (“OWP Ventures”), which is the parent company of One World Pharma SAS, a Colombian Simplified Shares Company (“OWP SAS”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired OWP Ventures (and indirectly, OWP SAS) by the merger of OWP Merger Subsidiary with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger (a) holders of the outstanding capital stock of OWP Ventures received an aggregate of 39,475,398 shares of our common stock; (b) options to purchase 825,000 shares of common stock of OWP Ventures at an exercise price of $0.50 automatically converted into options to purchase 825,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50; (c) the outstanding principal and interest under a $300,000 convertible note issued by OWP Ventures became convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.424 per share or 80% of the price the Company sold its common stock in a future “Qualified Offering”; (d)875,000 shares of our common stock owned by OWP Ventures prior to the Merger were cancelled; and (e) OWP Ventures’ chief operating officer became our chief operating officer and two of OWP Ventures’ directors became members of our board of directors. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and its customers will predominantly be located outside of the United States. On January 10, 2019, the Company changed its name from Punto Group, Corp. to One World Pharma, Inc., and on November 23, 2021, the Company changed its name to One World Products, Inc. through the merger of One World Products, Inc., a recently formed Nevada corporation wholly-owned by the Company, with and into the Company (the “Name Change Merger”) pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). As permitted by the NRS, the articles of merger filed with the Secretary of State of the state of Nevada to effect the Name Change Merger amended Article I of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “One World Products, Inc.” The Name Change Merger was effected solely to effect the change of the Company’s name, and had no effect on the Company’s officers, directors, operations, assets or liabilities.

OWP Ventures is a holding company formed in Delaware on March 27, 2018 to enter and support the cannabis industry, and on May 30, 2018, it acquired OWP SAS. OWP SAS is a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). The Company plans to be a producer of and/or source raw and processed cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. The Company has received licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, the Company is one of the few companies in Colombia to receive all four licenses, including seed use, cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis, cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, and manufacturing allowing for extraction and export. Currently, we own approximately 30 acres and have a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with local farming cooperatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. The Company began harvesting cannabis in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities, quality control testing and extraction. OWP SAS has generated revenue since the second quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for a state-of-the-art distillation machine that cleared customs and is currently located in a warehouse near Bogotá.

On December 22, 2023, OWP SAS, filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) (“Reorganization Proceedings”) in Colombia. The Reorganization Proceeds are similar to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States, whereby the Company intends to restructure its debts and continue to operate.

In connection with the Reorganization Proceedings, we paused production and sales of our cannabis operations in Colombia until the court overseeing the Reorganization Proceedings (the “Court”) provides the Company with a plan of reorganization, at which time the Company intends to resume operations and satisfy its obligations in Colombia in accordance with the Court’s plan. Furthermore, we continued our aggressive cost-cutting actions that included significant personnel reductions. As a result of these actions, OWP SAS has no revenue-producing operations. The Company’s primary operations during the fourth quarter of 2023, and to date in 2024, have consisted of activities associated with completing the Reorganization Proceedings, resolving substantial litigation, claims reconciliation, and preparing for emergence from Reorganization Proceedings as contemplated in the yet to be determined, Proposed Plan.

Upon the date that the Proposed Plan, which is yet to be determined and remains subject to Court approval, becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and subject to the effectiveness of the Proposed Plan, it is contemplated that the near term operations of the Company (also referred to as the “Post-Effective Date Debtors”) will consist of (a) claims administration under the Proposed Plan, (b) addressing the litigation, (c) prosecuting, pursuing, compromising, settling, or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action, (d) defending the Company against any counterclaims, (e) attempting to realize value, if any, from our assets and (f) satisfying other regulatory requirements.

In the future, the Post-Effective Date Debtors expect to explore potential business opportunities, including strategic partnerships, including those designed to maximize the Debtor’s assets, including restoration of the Company’s cannabis operations. No assurance can be made that the Proposed Plan will become effective or that we will be successful in prosecuting any claim or cause of action or that any strategic alternative will be identified and/or would result in profitable operations.

In accordance with ASC 810-10-15, the Company has deconsolidated its foreign subsidiaries until it emerges from the Reorganization Proceedings to include the petitioning entity, OWP SAS, as well as the Company’s non-operating shell entities, Agrobase, S.A.S. and Hope Colombia, S.A.S., given the lack of independently identifiable operations. The deconsolidation resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $97,672 and $1,564,823 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

During March of 2024, the Company, through OWP Ventures, began to sell a CBD-based therapeutic product in the United States in limited quantities.

Financial Reporting Under Reorganization

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared to reflect the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification, or “ASC” 852,*Reorganizations,*which is a critical accounting policy. During the pendency of the bankruptcy protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, the foreign subsidiaries have been deconsolidated, as disclosed in Note 3, below.

Effective as of the Petition Date, the Company ceased recognizing interest income on intercompany loans made to the foreign subsidiaries. Subsequent loans advanced to, or payments made on behalf of these foreign subsidiaries, have been recognized as a loss on deconsolidation of foreign subsidiaries.

In connection with the Company’s emergence from the bankruptcy protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006 on the Effective Date, the Company expects to adopt fresh-start accounting, which will result in the foreign subsidiaries becoming new entities for financial reporting purposes. Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at their fair value as of the fresh-start reporting date or Effective Date. The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of that date may differ materially from the recorded values of its assets and liabilities as reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company’s adoption of fresh-start accounting may materially affect its results of operations following the fresh-start reporting dates, as the Company will have a new basis in its assets and liabilities. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements on or after the Effective Date will not be comparable with the financial statements prior to that date and the historical financial statements will not be reliable indicators of its financial condition and results of operations for any period after it adopts fresh-start accounting. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the fresh-start accounting on its consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with GAAP and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which were under common control and ownership at March 31, 2024:

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is Colombian Peso (COP). The Company has maintained its financial statements using the functional currency, and translated those financial statements to the US Dollar (USD) throughout this report. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances in a full-set of general-purpose financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820). Under ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000, under current regulations. The Company didnot have any cash in excess of FDIC insured limits at March 31, 2024, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s revenues in the current period consisted of the sale of our CBD rub, and in the prior period revenues consisted entirely of the sale of seeds. The sale of seeds included multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collected 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company had a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2023*,the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,“Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,”* which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024*,* with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial statements.

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2 –Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, our balance of cash on hand was $40,648, and we had negative working capital of $1,871,931 and an accumulated deficit of $28,630,708. We are too early in our development stage to project future revenue levels, and may not be able to generate sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing and would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.

Note 3 –Deconsolidation of Foreign Subsidiaries

On December 22, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Products, S.A.S., a Colombian Simplified Shares Company, filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) (“Reorganization Proceedings”) in Colombia. The Reorganization Proceeds are similar to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States, whereby the Company intends to restructure its debts and continue to operate. The plan of reorganization and assessment of valid claims has not yet been determined, or approved by the Court and creditors, as necessary. OWP SAS has currently identified approximately 23 creditors, consisting of approximately $1.2 million of financial obligations, collectively. In accordance with ASC 810-10-15, the Company has deconsolidated its foreign subsidiaries until it emerges from the Reorganization Proceedings to include the petitioning entity, OWP SAS. Given the lack of independently identifiable operations, the Company has also deconsolidated its non-operating shell entities, Agrobase, S.A.S. and Hope Colombia, S.A.S (collectively, the “Foreign Subsidiaries”). The deconsolidation resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $97,672 and $1,564,823 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. A summary of the deconsolidated condensed combined balance sheets and statement of operations and comprehensive loss of the Foreign Subsidiaries is as follows:

Note 4 –Related Party Transactions

On March 15, 2024, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, OWP Ventures, Inc., agreed to issue shares of common stock to officers and directors in consideration for extending the maturity dates and terms of previously received debt financing, as listed below. The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $724,086, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which was recognized as a loss on early extinguishment of debt. The previously issued promissory notes were cancelled in exchange for promissory notes with a maturity date of March 1, 2027, bearing interest at 10% per annum, with the exception of the promissory note issued to Dr. John McCabe, which carries an interest rate of 7% per annum.

On June 15, 2023, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s President, Joerg Sommer, for services provided. The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $89,850, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were expensed upon issuance.

On March 15, 2024, the Company issued shares of common stock to officers and directors for services provided, as listed below. The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $429,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were expensed upon issuance.

Note 5 –Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 6 –Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our CBD products consist entirely of finished goods. Inventory was $26,257 at March 31, 2024.

Note 7 –Security Deposits

Security deposits consisted of refundable deposits on equipment purchases in the amount of $85,000 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $724,086, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which was recognized as a loss on early extinguishment of debt. As noted above, the previously issued promissory notes were cancelled in exchange for promissory notes with a maturity date of March 1, 2027, bearing interest at 10% per annum, with the exception of the promissory note issued to Dr. John McCabe, which carries an interest rate of 7% per annum.

Note 11 –Notes Payable

The Company recognized aggregate debt discounts on the notes payable to for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as follows:

The aggregate debt discounts of $148,454 and $79,675, from the Sanguine and AJB Notes, respectively, are being amortized over the life of the loans using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company recorded finance expense in the amount of $45,920 and $-0- on the amortization of these discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The convertible note limits the maximum number of shares that can be owned by the note holder as a result of the conversions to common stock to 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

Note 12 –Convertible Preferred Stock

Preferred Stock

The Company has 10,000,000 authorized shares of $0.001 par value “blank check” preferred stock, of which 500,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock and 600,000 shares have been designated Series B Preferred Stock, as amended on August 2, 2022. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are each currently convertible into one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 6% per annum, payable in cash as and when declared by the Board or upon a liquidation. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to dividends, other than the right to participate in dividends payable to holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. As of March 31, 2024, there were 99,733 and 238,501 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, issued and outstanding. The Series A and B Preferred Stock are presented as mezzanine equity on the balance sheet due because they carry a stated value of $10 and $15 per share, respectively, and a deemed liquidation clause, which entitles the holders thereof to receive proceeds thereof in an amount equal to the stated value per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, before any payment may be made to holders of common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock carries a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Preferred Stock may then be converted. The Preferred Stock generally will vote together with the common stock and not as a separate class.

The Series A and B Preferred Stock have been classified outside of permanent equity and liabilities. the Series A Preferred Stock embodies conditional obligations that the Company may settle by issuing a variable number of equity shares, and in both the Series A and B Preferred Stock, monetary value of the obligation is based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception.

Preferred Stock Dividends

The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 6% per annum, payable in cash as and when declared by the Board or upon a liquidation. The Company recognized $14,916 and $12,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A total of $211,650 of dividends had accrued as of March 31, 2024.

Options granted under the 2019 Plan may either be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or may be non-qualified options, and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years from date of grant. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, the Stock Plan will terminate on December 10, 2029.

Note 17 –Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $10,507,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

The Notes mature on January 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Subject to certain adjustments and following an event of default only, the Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lowest closing price (i) during the previous ten Trading Day (as defined in the Notes) period ending on the date of issuance of the Note, or (ii) during the previous ten Trading Day period ending on the Conversion Date (as defined in the Notes), whichever is lower. The Notes are also subject to covenants, events of default, penalties, default interest, and other terms and conditions customary in transactions of this nature.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with SDT, SDT received a pre-funded warrant to purchase 8,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant includes a make-whole provision, whereby, if SDT is unable to sell the Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant) for net proceeds equal to at least $520,000 (the “Make-Whole Amount”) within a certain timeframe, then the Company shall either (i) pay SDT in cash the difference between the Make-Whole Amount and the net proceeds that SDT actually received from the sale of the Warrant Shares or (ii) cause the issuance of additional pre-funded warrants to SDT for shares of common stock the sale of which would ultimately satisfy the Make-Whole Amount.

Moreover, the Company has an obligation to include the Commitment Fee Shares in a registration statement filed by the Company within ninety days after the effective date of the Purchase Agreement with AJB. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the $360,000 Sanguine Group, LLC, and $257,446 of debts owed to the Company’s Vice Chairman, Dr. Kenneth Perego, II.
