Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligations and Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes

 

Effective February 1, 2023, three (3) directors/officers of the Company agreed to adjust the provisions of long term convertible obligations (including most of the 2020 Convertible Obligations and September 2015 Convertible Notes --- see below) owed to them by the Company in a manner which reduced the indebtedness of the Company by 80% (approximately $3.47 million, in aggregate –See Note 7 below, ‘Debt Modification to Additional Paid in Capital’) while equitably maintaining existing conversion rights.  The debt modification was treated as an equity transaction because the modifications were with affiliates that are related parties.

 

Mark A. Smith (the Company’s President)(“Smith”), Dominic Bassani (the Company’s Chief Operating Officer) (“Bassani”) (NOTE: Dominic Bassani passed away on October 11, 2023.) and Ed Schafer (Director)(“Schafer”), adjusted/reduced the principal owed to them by $1,109,649, $1,939,670 and $424,873, respectively. Subsequent to the adjustment, the adjusted portion of the 2020 Convertible Obligations were renamed Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligations and the adjusted portion of the September 2015 Convertible Notes were renamed Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes. The Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligations of Smith, Bassani and Schafer are convertible into Units (consisting of 1 share and from one half (1/2) to one (1) warrant) at prices of $.0946, $.0953, and $.0953, respectively, and the Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes may be converted at the sole election of the noteholders into restricted common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.115 per share. The adjusted conversion prices slightly reduce the securities to be issued on conversion of each instrument from the amount receivable under the unadjusted instruments. The Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligations and Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes do not accrue any interest until their maturity date (July 1, 2024). After the adjustment, the Company owed Smith, Bassani (and trust) and Schafer $262,154, $434,016 and $96,364, respectively, of Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligations and Bassani and Schafer, respectively, $24,230 and $4,012 of Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligation balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani (and his donees), Smith and Edward Schafer were $450,361, $44,017 and $99,993, respectively. As of June 30 2023, the Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligation balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani (and his donees), Smith and Edward Schafer were $441,446, $130,180 and $98,014, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2023 the Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani Family Trusts and Schafer were $25,143 and $4,163, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 the Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani Family Trusts and Schafer were $24,645 and $4,081, respectively.

 

2020 Convertible Obligations

 

The 2020 Convertible Obligations (which combined/replaced prior convertible instruments dating to 2017 (or earlier), which accrue interest at either 4% per annum or 4% compounded quarterly and effective January 1, 2020 are due and payable on July 1, 2024. The 2020 Convertible Obligations (including accrued interest, plus all future deferred compensation added subsequently), are convertible, at the sole election of the holder, into Units consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one half to one warrant to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $0.50 per Unit until July 1, 2024. The original conversion price of $0.50 per Unit approximated the fair value of the Units at the date of the agreements; therefore, no beneficial conversion feature exists. Management evaluated the terms and conditions of the embedded conversion features based on the guidance of ASC 815-15 “Embedded Derivatives” to determine if there was an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. An embedded derivative instrument (such as a conversion option embedded in the deferred compensation) must be bifurcated from its host instruments and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument only if the “risks and rewards” of the embedded derivative instrument are not “clearly and closely related” to the risks and rewards of the host instrument in which it is embedded. Management concluded that the embedded conversion feature of the deferred compensation was not required to be bifurcated because the conversion feature is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and because of the Company’s limited trading volume that indicates the feature is not readily convertible to cash in accordance with ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Effective February 1, 2023, a large portion of the 2020 Convertible Obligations were adjusted as set forth herein.

  

As of December 31, 2023, the remaining unadjusted portion of the 2020 Convertible Obligation balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani Family Trusts (and his donees) and Smith, were $367,660 and $118,732, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, the 2020 Convertible Obligation balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani Family Trusts, Smith and Schafer were $2,644,553, $1,388,421 and $508,352, respectively.

 

During the six months ended December, 2023, Smith elected to convert $91,548 of his Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligation into 967,738 units at $0.0946 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s restricted common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s restricted common stock for $0.75 per share until July 2026.

 

The Company recorded interest expense of $7,875 and $82,740 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company capitalized $26,559 and $66,104 related to the Initial Project for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Effective February 1, 2023, three (3) directors/officers of the Company agreed to adjust the provisions of long-term convertible obligations (including most of the 2020 Convertible Obligations and September 2015 Convertible Notes) owed to them by the Company in a manner which reduced the indebtedness of the Company by 80% (approximately $3.47 million, in aggregate) while equitably maintaining existing conversion rights. Because the modifications where with affiliates that are related parties, the debt modification was treated as an equity transaction. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the reductions.

 

Mark A. Smith (the Company’s President) (“Smith”), Dominic Bassani (the Company’s Chief Operating Officer) (“Bassani”) (NOTE: Dominic Bassani passed away on October 11, 2023. See Note 10) and Ed Schafer (Director) (“Schafer”), adjusted/reduced the principal owed to them by $1,109,649, $1,939,670 and $424,873, respectively. Subsequent to the adjustment, the adjusted portion of the 2020 Convertible Obligations were renamed Adjusted 2020 Convertible Obligations (see above and Note 7.). The debt modification was treated as an equity transaction because the modifications were with affiliates that are related parties.

 

September 2015 Convertible Notes

 

During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company entered into September 2015 Convertible Notes with Bassani, Schafer and a Shareholder which replaced previously issued promissory notes. The September 2015 Convertible Notes bear interest at 4% per annum, have maturity dates of July 1, 2024, and may be converted at the sole election of the noteholders into restricted common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.60 per share. As the conversion price of $0.60 approximated the fair value of the common shares at the date of the September 2015 Convertible Notes, no beneficial conversion feature exists.

 

The balances of the September 2015 Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2023, including accrued interest owed Bassani, Schafer and Shareholder, are $186,725, $4,163 and $468,431, respectively. The balances of the September 2015 Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2022, including accrued interest, were $284,211, $21,173 and $453,314, respectively.

 

The Company recorded interest expense of $10,158 and $12,731 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Effective February 1, 2023, three (3) directors/officers of the Company agreed to adjust the provisions of long term convertible obligations (including the September 2015 Convertible Notes owned by Bassani and Schafer) owed to them by the Company in a manner which reduced the indebtedness of the Company by 80% (approximately $3.52 million, in aggregate) while equitably maintaining existing conversion rights.  Mark A. Smith (the Company’s President), Dominic Bassani (the Company’s Chief Operating Officer)(and a family Trust) and Ed Schafer (Director), adjusted/reduced the principal owed to them by $1,109,649, $1,939,670 and $424,873, respectively. Subsequent to the adjustment, the adjusted portion of the Notes were renamed Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes. The Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes may be converted at the sole election of the noteholders into restricted common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.115 per share. As of December 31, 2023 the Adjusted September 2015 Convertible Notes balances, including accrued interest, owed Bassani Family Trusts and Schafer were $25,143 and $4,163, respectively. The debt modification was treated as an equity transaction because the modifications were with affiliates that are related parties. See above.

 

Convertible Bridge Loan/Default

 

On September 28, 2023 the Company entered into an agreement for a $1,500,000 Bridge Loan and executed documents including a convertible promissory note (“Note”) and a binding subscription agreement (“Subscription”) (collectively the Note and the Subscription are the “Bridge Loan Agreements”) with SEB LLC, a non-affiliated party (“Lender”). The Bridge Loan Agreements require the Lender to loan the Company $1,500,000 in six monthly tranches of $250,000 commencing October 2023. All sums advanced under the Bridge Loan Agreements (and accrued interest thereon) would due and payable (with interest accrued at 9% per annum) on October 1, 2024 if not previously converted into securities of the Company. The Note is convertible at $1.00 per unit, at the sole election of the Lender, into units consisting of one share of the Company’s Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one-half share. The initial $250,000 tranche was received by the Company on October 5, 2023. However, no further funds were received by the Company from the Lender. During early November 2023 the Lender informed the Company verbally that it did not intend to fulfill its obligations pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreements and since such time the Lender has been in default (“Default”). The Default (which is continuing) has created substantial problems for and materially damaged the Company and rendered the Company unable to meet its current creditor obligations on a timely basis. The Company is currently evaluating its rights regarding the Default by the Lender. See Note 10.

  

The Company recorded interest expense of $5,407 and nil for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
