Basis of Presentation


Except where the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Trident” and “Trident Brands” or similar words and phrases are to Trident Brands Incorporated and its subsidiaries, taken together.


In this report, all currency amounts are expressed in thousands of United States (“U.S.”) dollars (“$”), except per share data, unless otherwise stated. Amounts expressed in other than U.S. dollars are noted accordingly. For example, amounts if expressed in Canadian dollars are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars and preceded by the symbol “Cdn $”.


Forward-Looking Statements


This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are based on our current expectations and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and are typically accompanied by words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “project”, “potential”, “continue”, “believe”, “expect”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might”, “plan”, “will”, “may”, “predict”, the negatives of such terms, and words and phrases of similar impact and include, but are not limited to references to expected increases in revenues and margins, growth opportunities, the success of new product launches and line extensions, our ability to finance our business, potential strategic investments, business strategies, competitive strengths, goals, references to key markets where we operate and the market for our securities. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we make in light of our experience and our interpretation of current conditions, historical trends and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate in the circumstance.


Whether actual results and developments will agree with our expectations and predictions is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations and predictions. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:


·

we have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future;


·

there is doubt about our ability

we have an urgent need for additional capital to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses from operations, an accumulated deficit and insufficient cash resources on hand to meetfund our business objectives, all of which means thatoperations and if we may notae unable to secure needed capital, there will be able to continue operations;a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition;


·

we could face intense competition, which could result in lower revenues and higher expenditures and could adversely affect our results of operations;


·

we are governed by only threefour persons serving as directors and officers which may lead to faulty corporate governance;


·

we must attract and maintain key personnel or our business may fail;

·

we may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our future capital needs due to changes in general economic conditions;


·

our business and operating results could be harmed if we fail to manage our growth or change;


·

we have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in growing our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations;


3


·

if our intellectual property is not adequately protected, then we may not be able to compete effectively and we may not be profitable;


·

if we are the subject of an intellectual property infringement claim, the cost of participating in any litigation could impact our ability to stay in business;


·

we could lose our competitive advantages if we are not able to protect any of our food and nutritional products and intellectual property rights against infringement, and any related litigation could be time-consuming and costly;


·3

Table of Contents

if we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained;


·

if we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained;


·

our services may become obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to respond adequately to rapidly changing technology and customer demands;


·

our failure to appropriately respond to changing consumer preferences and demand for new products or product enhancements could significantly harm product sales and harm our financial condition and operating results;


·

if we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to adequately meet the changing needs of our customers, some of our products could fail in the marketplace, which could negatively impact our revenues, financial condition and operating results;


·

we are affected by laws and governmental regulations with potential penalties or claims, which could harm our financial condition and operating results;


·

since we rely on independent third parties for the manufacture and supply of certain of our products, if these third parties fail to reliably supply products to us at required levels of quality and which are manufactured in compliance with applicable laws, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed;


·

we may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and harm our financial condition and operating results;


·

unless we can generate sufficient cash from operations or raise additional funds, we may not be able to meet our debt and other obligations;


·

our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us;


·

if we do not manage our supply chain effectively, our operating results may be adversely affected;


·

our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders;


·

our common shares are thinly traded and our shareholders may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all;


·

the market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small and developing company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. Our shareholders may be unable to sell your common stock at or above their purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses;

4


·

we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholdersand as a result shareholders may only realize a return when the shares are sold;


·

we are listedquoted on the OTCQB quotation system and our common stock is subject to “penny stock” rules which could negatively impact our liquidity and our shareholders’ ability to sell their shares;


·

volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation;


·

the elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees; and


·

our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.noncompliance; and

The ongoing coronavirus outbreak could have an adverse effect on our business.

Concerns remain about the global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The virus spread rapidly across the globe, including the U.S. The pandemic had an unprecedented impact on the U.S. economy as federal, state and local governments reacted to this public health crisis, which has created significant uncertainties. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our customers and supply chain.

Consumer fear about becoming ill with the virus and recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to avoid large gatherings of people or self-quarantine may continue. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak within the U.S., the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

Consequently all forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that our actual results or the developments we anticipate will be realized. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Trident Brands Incorporatedthe Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Trident’sthe Company’s Form 10-K filed with SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of $250,000Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The ultimate impact from COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial results during 2022 will depend on, among other things, the ultimate severity and scope of the pandemic, the pace at which governmental and private travel restrictions and public concerns about public gatherings will ease, the rate at which historically large increases in unemployment rates will decrease, if at all, and whether, and the speed with which the economy recovers. We are not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have on our financial results during the remainder of 2022 and beyond, but expect developments related to COVID-19 to continue to materially affect the Company’s financial performance during 2022.

Customer Concentration

One customer accounted for 100.0% of total revenue for the six month period ended May 31, 2022 compared to two customers who accounted for 19.9% and 11.5% of total revenue for the six month period ended May 31, 2021. Two customers accounted for 66.5% and 33.5% of total accounts receivable as of AugustMay 31, 2017 represents cash held2022 compared to two customers for 39.4% and 29.2% as of May 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a trust account. The funds have been set asidefair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the acquisitionasset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of StreamPak Ltd (see Note 9 regarding subsequent events)financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to cover legalthe short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and other related costs.


Customer Concentration

cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and note payable. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value. As of May 31, 2022 the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has one major customerevaluated recent accounting pronouncements through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and believe that accounted for approximately 98% and $3,240,318 of sales forthere are none that will have a material impact on the nine month period ended August 31, 2017 and 97% of the accounts receivable.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2016Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 financial presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

On September 26, 2016,prepared assuming that the Company completedwill continue as a long term financing with a non-US institutional investor, receiving proceedsgoing concern, which contemplates realization of $4,100,000assets and subsequently $4,400,000 on May 9, 2017 through the issuancesatisfaction of secured convertible promissory notes. The investor has agreed to make additional investments at the Company’s request of up to $1,500,000 ($10,000,000liabilities in the aggregate). normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

As of AugustMay 31, 2017,2022, the Company had $4,380,378$12,389 in cash and a working capital deficit of $10,286,385. The Company also has accessgenerated losses and has an accumulated deficit as of May 31, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to $1,500,000 availablecontinue as a going concern. Unless Management is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the investor. The Company feelsoutcome of this represents substantial liquid resources (cash & available financing), sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations for the next twelve months.

NOTE 7.6. CONVERTIBLE NOTE


DEBT

On January 29, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor whereby it agreed to sell an aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 of senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares of the company’sCompany’s common stock.


The Company received $1,800,000 of the funds from the transaction on February 5, 2015. The balance of $500,000 was received on May 14, 2015.


These convertible notes were subsequently acquired by Fengate Trident, LP (‘Fengate”) on April 28, 2017.

The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.71 per share, for an aggregate of up to 3,239,437 shares. The debentures originally accrued interest at 6% per annum. On September 26, 2016 the Company entered into an amendment agreement related to these convertible debentures whereby the applicable interest rate was increased from 6% to 8% and provisions added to allow the investor to transfer, sell or hypothecate the convertible notes subject to applicable securities laws. The maturity date of the notes was also extended through September 30, 2019.


We considered ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that the modification was not deemed substantial.

Due to the note being convertible to common shares of the Company, a beneficial conversion feature analysis was performed. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature was $647,888 which was recognized as debt discount. As of August 31,November 30, 2017, the full amount of the debt discount has been amortized.


On September 26, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor, pursuant to which, in consideration for proceeds of $4,100,000, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $4,100,000.

The funding of any tranche under the agreement (other than the first $4,100,000 which has been funded) is subject to the mutual agreement of the parties as to the use of funds.


$5,900,000. On May 9, 2017, the Company received the second tranche of funding with proceeds of $4,400,000 and on May 16, 2018 the third tranche of $1,500,000 for a total investment by the investor of $8,500,000. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company has an additional $1,500,000 of available funding.

$10,000,000.

The Company intends to useused the proceeds of the secured convertible note for general working capital purposes including without limitation, settlement of accounts payable and repayment of mature loans.

The Company shall remain responsible to Everlast and International Brand for all acts and omissions of the subsidiary, Sports Nutrition Products Inc.

The Everlast License Agreement includes a clause stating that Manchester Capital Incorporated will guarantee that the Licensee shall perform all of its obligations and duties under the License Agreement. If the Licensee defaults in the payment when due of any amount it is obliged to pay to Licensor under the License Agreement, or arising from its termination, Manchester Capital is unconditionally responsible to pay that amount to Licensor in the manner prescribed in the License Agreement as if it were the Licensee.

The agreement was terminated on December 31, 2017. On January 17, 2019, Everlast World’s Boxing Headquarters Corp. (“Everlast”) filed a counter claim against the Company and other defendants. In that lawsuit, Everlast seeks payment from the defendants under a License Agreement dated June 4, 2013, for $425,555 in unpaid royalties allegedly due and owing under the License Agreement and interest on the allegedly unpaid royalties of $96,265, which interest allegedly continues to accrue. Everlast has also sought all costs, expenses, and legal fees incurred by Everlast in collecting monies that it claims are due under the License Agreement. On February 26, 2020, the court in the Everlast matter issued an Opinion and Order granting a motion to dismiss all of the 500,000Company’s claims against Everlast and granting a motion for judgment on the pleadings as to liability against the Company. The Court left open the question of damages to be awarded to Everlast. The Company had requested that the parties participate in settlement discussions before a magistrate judge or, in the alternative, that Everlast engage in limited discovery on these matters. No settlement was reached. On October 15, 2020, the Court in the Everlast case ordered, adjudged and decreed that Plaintiff Everlast have judgment and recover a total of $738,946 from the Company as follows:

1. $425,000 representing royalty payments due to Everlast;

2. Interest on royalty payments computed through October 15, 2020, in the sum of $242,920;

3. Costs and attorneys’ fees in the sum of $71,026

On November 17, 2021, The Company entered Into a Stipulation (“Stipulation”) of the litigation captioned Everlast World’s Boxing Headquarters Corp. (“Everlast”) , Plaintiff vs. Trident Brands, Inc. and Manchester Capital Inc., Defendants, Waukesha County Court Case No. 21 TJ 90.  Under the terms of the Stipulation, the Company agreed to pay Everlast on or before February 15, 2022, the sum of $650,000 in full satisfaction of the Everlast’s judgment against the Company in the amount of $738,946. Under the Stipulation, except for the first $250,000 of capital raised, the Company is required to pay Everlast 20% of the gross amount of any capital raising transaction, until the full $650,000 is paid, provided however that the full $650,000 was required to have been paid no later than February 15, 2022.   

The Company failed to pay Everlast the full $650,000 by February 15, 2022, as a result of which the Company is obligated to pay Everlast the judgment amount of $738,945, plus applicable interest (a total of $750,713 as of August 21, 2021) and attorney’s fees, less any payments made. The estimated liability as of May 31, 2022 due to accrued interest is $908,799 which the Company has fully accrued. The Company is currently in litigation with Everlast regarding Everlast's methods to collect the judgements.

Banc of America Leasing and Capital 

On December 1, 2020, Bank of America Leasing and Capital, LLC filed a legal action against the Company in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Mateo (Case NO. 20-CIV-05306), alleging breach of contract.

PIT Mycell

On June 3, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against PIT Mycell, LLC, William E. Peterson III, New Age Ventures, LLC, Volker Berl, and Mycell Technologies, LLC (“Mycell”) in the Superior Court in Bergen County, New Jersey, Civil Action No. BER-L-004198-19, in which the Company seeks to require the defendants to perform under and allow the enforcement of certain notes made by Mycell and acquired by the Company in September 2017. The notes are past their stated maturity date of December 31, 2016. The Company also alleges that the parties had entered into a written Settlement Agreement Letter of Intent dated March 14, 2019 (the “Settlement”), but that the defendants repudiated it shortly thereafter. The notes had been the subject of an earlier lawsuit in Virginia in state court in Fairfax County between the Company and PIT Mycell, LLC that the Settlement was intended to resolve. The Company seeks to enforce the notes and the Settlement in the New Jersey lawsuit and requests actual damages in an amount to be proven at trial, attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, specific performance requiring certain defendants to enforce obligations under the notes against Mycell, specific performance requiring the defendants to execute a final Settlement Agreement consistent with the Settlement, an order permitting foreclosure on the collateral for the notes, and declaratory relief. On January 24, 2020, the New Jersey court denied Defendant’s Motions to dismiss the case. The parties have engaged in written discovery and exchanged productions of documents. Mycell filed for bankruptcy on November 25, 2020. The bankruptcy is completed and the Company no longer has a claim on the new company that has since emerged from bankruptcy.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. There is significant judgment required in both the probability determination and as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. If any legal matter, that may arise, were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s would reflect any potential claim in the consolidated financial statements for that reporting period.

The decrease in our operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in general & administrative expenses as a result of cost reductions and decreased marketing and selling expenses related to the decrease in sales. General & administrative expenses included a compensation expense of $120,000 for the authorized award of 4,000,000 shares to the Company's employees. Subject to raising additional capital, we expect our operating expenses to increase as we ramp up our selling activities.

Revenues and Gross Profits

Sales for the six month period ended May 31, 2022 decreased to $125,280 versus $190,291 in the prior period. The decrease was due in part to the lack of inventory (out of stock of certain SKU’s), which also prevented us from fulfilling various purchase orders. Our lack of inventory is a result of not having sufficient capital to purchase inventory. Subject to receipt of additional funding, we expect this lack of supply to resolve over the next three months, at which time we expect our sales will begin to recover. Gross profit decreased to $(21,168) or (-16.9% of revenues) versus $86,923 (45.7% of revenues). We currently have no revenue. If we are able to secure sufficient additional funding and needed inventory, we expect that our revenues will gradually recover. In addition, we intend to continue to look for distribution and supply chain partners to lower our costs.

Strategic Orientation


Our objective is to provide our shareholders with solid returns through strategic investments across multiple consumer product and food ingredient platforms. The platforms we are focusing on include:


·

Life science technologies and related products that have applications to a range of consumer products;

·

Nutritional supplements and related consumer goods providing defined benefits to the consumer; and

·

Functional foods and beverages ingredients with defined health and wellness benefits.

We are building our business through strategic investments in high growth early stage consumer brands and functional ingredientsingredient platforms within segment/sectors which we believe offer long term growthsustainable commercial potential. We are focused on three core strategies underpinning our objectives:


·

To execute oura multi-tier brand, supply-chain and innovation strategy to drive revenue; and

·

To aggressively manage ouran asset light business model to drive a low cost platform; andplatform.

·To drive disciplines leading to increased investor awareness and ability to finance and govern growing operations.

While we have yet to realize break even cash flows orachieve profitability, we believe we are makingendeavoring to make progress against our goalslong term commercial objectives. Subject to receipt of sufficient capital, which we currently do not have, we anticipate that revenue and objectives, and expect revenues and margins tomargin will increase as we begin commercializing the productsstrengthen distribution partnerships while capitalizing on product innovation, supply-chain optimization and brand equity within our current portfolio. All three of our product platforms show solid potential in the markets where they compete and both our Everlast® and Brain Armor® product lines are now in the market and generating revenues. Our strategy was to first establish listings for these products with non-bricks and mortar accounts, and this has been successful.  Brain Armor® has now been listed at a large retail account as well, and we expect listings for Everlast® to follow.  The development of Oceans Omega as an ingredient for food and beverage products is ongoing, and given the longer sales cycle for ingredients, we expect to realize revenues later in fiscal 2017 both through external customer product development and also internally via potential line extensions for both the Everlast® and Brain Armor® product lines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

As of May 31, 2022, the Company had $12,389 in cash balance at Augustand a working capital deficit of $10,286,385. The Company also has generated losses and has an accumulated deficit as of May 31, 2017 was $4,380,378. Management believes2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Need for Additional Capital

The current funds available to the Company will becompany are not sufficient to fund our operationsits near term operations. The Company has an urgent need for additional capital, without which, the Company is unlikely to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain additional financing, the Company will not be able to meet its funding requirements during the next twelve12 months.


On January 29, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor whereby we agreed to sell an aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 of senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares of the company’s common stock.  We received $1,800,000 of the funds The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the transaction on February 5, 2015outcome of this uncertainty.

As of May 31, 2022, the Company had $12,389 in cash and a working capital deficit of $10,286,385, compared to a deficit of approximately $8.9 million as of November 30, 2021 The approximate $1.4 million increase in working capital deficit was due primarily to an increase in accrued liabilities of $1.1 million, a decrease in prepaids of $0.2 million and a decrease in inventory of $0.1 million.

As disclosed under Item 3. Legal Proceedings, a judgment was entered against us in the balance of $500,000 on May 14, 2015.  On September 26, 2016, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Amendment Agreement with this investor whereby we agreed to extend the maturity date and amend the interest payable on the senior secured convertible debentures, whereby we extended the term of the notes through September 30, 2019 and interest rate was increased from 6% per annum to 8% per annum.   The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.71 per share for an aggregate of up to 3,239,437 shares.


On September 26, 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a non-US institutional investor   pursuant to which, in consideration for proceeds of $4,100,000, we issued a secured convertible promissory noteEverlast matter in the amount of $4,100,000.  Pursuantapproximately $740,000, which has grown to more than $900,000 as of May 2022. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investor has agreed, from time to time after January 1, 2017, to make additional investments at our request of up to $5,900,000 ($10,000,000plaintiff in the aggregate)Oracle matter has requested a default judgment against us. Accordingly, the Company is currently obligated to pay Everlast approximately $750,000 not including interest accrued since August 2021 and could be liable to pay Oracle at least $217,000 if the court enters a default judgment, in one or more trancheswhich case, the Company would be liable for in excess of not less than one tranche during any 60 day period. The funding of any tranche under$1 million in judgments, in the agreement (other thanaggregate. If the first $4,100,000 which has been funded)Company is subjectcompelled to pay these liabilities, there would be a material adverse effect on the mutual agreementfinancial condition of the parties asCompany.

Because we have  only minimal cash on hand, we are unable to implement our current business plan. Accordingly, we have an immediate need for additional capital to fund our operating activities. We currently have no revenues have had difficulty raising additional capital, so there is no assurance we will be able to grow our business or raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms or at all.

In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we are actively seeking to raise additional funds through the usesale of funds. The parties have agreedequity and/or debt securities, and ultimately, we will need to negotiate in good faith to pre-approve usegenerate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds within 120 days following September 26, 2016. On May 9, 2017,will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize additional revenues from the Company receivedsale of our products and services. As previously stated, our operations are generating negative cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the second tranche of funding with proceeds of $4,400,000 for a total investment by the investor of $8,500,000. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company has an additional $1,500,000 of available funding. We intend to use the proceeds of the secured convertible note for general working capital purposes including, without limitation, settlement of accounts payable and repayment of mature loans. In consideration of each advance made by the investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,near term, we will issuenot be able to implement our business plan, in which case there would be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Each note will be secured in first priority against the present and after acquired assets of the Company, and will be convertible in wholeevent we do not generate sufficient funds from revenues or in part at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price per share of $0.60, equal to a 25% discount to the 10 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the period immediately precedingfinancing through the issuance of the applicable note.

Based on our limited availability of funds we expect to spend minimal amounts on product development, sales and $1,466,667 respectivelymarketing and capital expenditures. We expect to fund any future product development expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity and/or debt financing.

Critical Accounting Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related revenues and expenses, and disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions made require us to exercise our judgment and are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
