The Company received payments from Wellcana totaling

and
September
of
2020,
which in combination with the repayment of a note payable to related party of
$151,923
and the
$172,500
liabilities assumed by Wellcana reduced the final payment owed under the letter agreement to
$4,350,000.
 
On
October 15, 2020,
the Company was notified that Wellcana would be unable to make the payment of
$4,350,000
by
October 15, 2020,
and the parties entered into a letter agreement, which extended the due date of the final
$4,350,000
payment to
December 8, 2020.
The letter agreement also required Wellcana to provide proof of
$4,350,000
in funds and an escrow deposit of

On
October 24, 2020,
the parties entered into the Escrow Agreement and Wellcana made the
$250,000
escrow payment on
October 29, 2020.
 
On
December 8, 2020,
Wellcana failed to make the payment and the
$250,000
escrow deposit was disbursed to the Company. The Company retained
$50,000
of the escrow disbursement as compensation for Wellcana's failure to meet the agreed-upon deadline of
December 8, 2020,
which is recorded in other income, and did
not
offset that amount against the
$4,350,000
balance owed by Wellcana. On
December 16, 2020,
Wellcana made payment of the remaining balance of
$4,150,000,
satisfying its obligations to the Company in full.
