NATURALSHRIMP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 20212022

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Nature of the Business

NaturalShrimp Incorporated (“NaturalShrimp” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company and has developed a proprietary technology that allows it to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei,(Lit Penaeus, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. The Company’s system uses technology which allows it to produce a naturally-grownnaturally grown shrimp “crop” weekly and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows it to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. The Company’s production facilities are located in La Coste, Texas and Webster City, Iowa.

On December 15,17, 2020, the Company entered intoclosed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between VeroBlue Farms USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“VBF”), VBF Transport, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Transport”), and Iowa’s First, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“Iowa’s First”) (each a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”). Transport and Iowa’s First were wholly-owned subsidiaries of VBF. The agreement called for the Company to purchase all of the tangible assets of VBF, the motor vehicles of Transport and the real property (together with all plants, buildings, structures, fixtures, fittings, systems and other improvements located on such real property) of Iowa’s First. The facility was originally designed as an aquaculture facility, with the company having production issues. The Company began a modification process to convert the plant to produce shrimp, which will allow them to scale faster without having to build new facilities. The three Iowa facilities contain the tanks and infrastructure that will be used to support the production of shrimp with the incorporation of the Company’s patented EC platform technology.

On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with F&T Water Solutions, LLC (“F&T”), for F&T’s owned shares of Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). Prior to entering into the SPA, the Company owned fifty-one percent (51%(51%) and F&T owned forty-nine percent (49%(49%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NAS. After the SPA, NAS is a 100%100% owned subsidiary of the Company (See Note 10).Company.

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp USA Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and NAS.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had a net loss available for common stockholdersfrom operations of approximately $33,367,000.$8,609,000. At December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $101,799,000 $163,038,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $16,332,000.$8,191,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of this filing. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021,2022, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $17,277,000 from the sale of common shares (See Note 11), $1,348,000 from$1,500,000remaining escrow amount related to the sale of Series E Preferred Stock and $8,905,000 proceeds from the issuance of a convertible debenture.debenture in December 2021, as well as $1,465,000 from the issuance of a convertible debenture in August 2022, per the restructuring agreement and $250,000 in a loan agreement with related parties. Additionally, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) under which the Company may require GHS to purchase a maximum of up to 64,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“GHS Purchase Shares”) based on a total aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000 over a one-year term that ends on November 4, 2023 (see Note 11). During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company received a net amount of approximately $1,380,000, for the sale of 17,175,675 shares of common stock. Subsequent to the period end, the Company has received another $878,365 from GHS for the sale of 14,880,460 shares  of common stock. Management believes that private placements of equity capital will be needed to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of its current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. The Company continues to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may be unable to develop its facilities and enter in production.

NOTE 2 – REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the Company’s previously issued financial statement for the first quarter of the current fiscal year for the three months ending June 30, 2021, the Company made an incorrect extinguishment of the Dividends payable in relation to the redemption of the Series D Preferred Stock as of April 15, 2021. However, it was later evaluated that the Dividends payable related to preferred shares that were still outstanding. The reclassification of the Dividends payable into Accumulated deficit was only presented as of June 30, 2021 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and did not impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements;” the Company evaluated the change and has determined that the related impact was not material to any previously presented financial statements. As such the Company is reporting the revision to dividends to that period in this Quarterly Report.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 20212022 and 20202021 has been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 20212022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2021.2022.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 20212022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.GAAP for complete financial statements.

Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalShrimp Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NaturalShrimp USA Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance with ASC 260 – 10 “EarningsEarnings per Share”Share, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. For the ninethree months ended December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option into approximately 751,385,000 underlying common shares, 170 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred stock with approximately  9,842,000 underlying common shares approximately $18,768,000 in a convertible debenture whose approximately 67,816,000 2,775,000 underlying shares are convertible at the holders’investors’ option at conversion price of 90% of the average of the two lowest market prices over the last 10 days, 750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 180,333,000 underlying common shares, whose shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had 1,500 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 5,143,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $0.35, and 18,506,429 18,573,116warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive as their conversion and exercise prices were greater than the market price of the Company’s common shares. For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option into approximately 768,561,000 underlying common shares, 1,500 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 5,143,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $0.35, and 170 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 2,775,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at conversion price of 90% of the average of the two lowest market prices over the last 10 days, 750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 184,387,000 underlying common shares, and 18,573,116 warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had 1,920Redeemable Convertible Preferred stock with approximately 9,842,000underlying common shares, of Series B Preferred Stock$18,768,000in a convertible debenture whose approximately 12,308,000 67,816,000underlying shares are convertible at the investors’holders’ option at a conversion price based onof 90% of the average of the two lowest market priceprices over the last 20 trading10 days and 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock whose approximately 50,000,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $0.10,18,506,429 warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values at our balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their fair values, but GAAP provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts in our balance sheets. For financial instruments recognized at fair value, GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument, along with other information, including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in income or other comprehensive income. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is provided below under “Financial Instruments.”

Nonfinancial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s balance sheets. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, GAAP requires the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in income in the period the remeasurement occurred.

The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at December 31, 20212022 and March 31, 2021.2022.

The Derivativederivative and Warrantwarrant liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements. There were no Warrant liabilities in Level 3 fair value measurements during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 20212022 and March 31, 2021.2022.

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. $250,000. As of December 31, 2021 the Company’s cash balance exceeded FDIC coverage. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed FDIC coverage. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash balance exceeded FDIC coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

Fixed Assets

Equipment is carried at historical value or cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES

Buildings

39 years

39 years

Machinery and Equipment

710 years

Vehicles

10 years

10 years

Furniture and Fixtures

310 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718. “Stock-based Compensation to Employees” is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances. Once the stock is issued the appropriate expense account is charged.

Intangible Assets

The Company has intangible assets, which were acquired in a patent acquisition, and license rights agreements. The Company’s patents represent definite lived intangible assets and will be amortized over the twenty-year duration of the patent, unless at some point the useful life is determined to be less than the protected life of the patent. The Company’s license rights will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the agreements of ten years. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the amortization of the patents was $97,500 and $292,500 and the license rights was $270,000 and $810,000. Amortization expense for the patents was $97,500 and $244,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021. The accumulated amortization of the patents was $633,500,000 and $341,500 as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The accumulated amortization of the license rights was $1,350,000 and $540,000 as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of its finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes the carrying value of the intangible assets are still recoverable, and there is no impairment to be recognized.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

Commitments and Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and as such, the Company records revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.

To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company, which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price, which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share”, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS)EPS for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

As of December 31, 2021,2022, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2021,2022, through the date which the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 1511 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect depreciation expense of approximately $218,000$416,000 and $18,000$218,000, and $830,000$1,350,000 and $38,000$830,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On July 3, 2022, the Company’s building containing its water treatment and 2020, respectively.purification system in La Coste, Texas (the “Water Treatment Plant”) was completely destroyed in a fire. The Water Treatment Plant is a separate building consisting of approximately 8,000 square feet located apart from the production building which was not damaged. The Company received $700,000 from the insurance company for the claim filed for the fire damage. Due to the damage caused by the fire, the Company has written off approximately $1,764,000 of the fixed assets, and $325,000 of the accumulated depreciation, which, less the $700,000 insurance settlement, has resulted in the recognition of a Loss due to fire in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 4 – SHORT-TERM NOTE AND LINES OF CREDIT

The Company has a working capital line of credit with Capital One Bank for $50,000. The line of credit bears an interest rate of prime plus 25.9 basis points, which totaled 33.17% as of December 31, 2022. The line of credit is unsecured. The balance of the line of credit was $9,580 at both December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

The Company also has a working capital line of credit with Chase Bank for $25,000. The line of credit bears an interest rate of prime plus 10 basis points, which totaled 17.27% as of December 31, 2022. The line of credit is secured by assets of the Company’s subsidiaries. The balance of the line of credit is $10,237 at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

NOTE 5 – PATENT ACQUISITIONPROMISSORY NOTE

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on August 17, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $5,433,333. The Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance date of the Note. The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $433,333 and a transaction expense amount of $10,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the Note. On the Closing Date the Company received $1,100,000, with $3,900,000 put into escrow to be held until certain terms are met, which includes $3,400,000 upon the completion of a successful uplist to NYSE or NASDAQ. The SPA includes a Security Agreement, whereby the note is secured by the collateral set forth in the agreement, covering all of the assets of the Company. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at maturity, shall be subject to an exit fee of 15% of the portion of the Outstanding Balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $816,500, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount.

As soon as reasonably possible, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by November 15, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. Following the Uplist, while the Note is still outstanding, ten days after the Company may have a sale of any of its shares of common stock or preferred stock, there shall be a Mandatory Prepayment equal to the greater of $3,000,000 or thirty-three percent of the gross proceeds of the equity sale.

In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 10), on November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “August Note”), through which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The Restructuring Agreement included key modifications, in which i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) in the event that the Closing of the Merger does not occur on or before December 31, 2022, the then-current Outstanding Balance will be increased by 2% and shall increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”). The Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of December 31, 2022, in the amount of approximately $35,000.

The Restructured August Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $1,933,000, there was a loss in extinguishment of approximately $157,000. As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the August Note will be accounted for at fair value until they are settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the August Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of December 31, 2022 at approximately $2,219,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $286,000 recognized in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

December 15, 2021 Debenture

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “December 2021 SPA”) with an investor (the “December 2021 Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the December 2021 SPA, the December 2021 Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “December 2021 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000. The December 2021 Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note (the “Maturity Date”). The December 2021 Note carried an original issue discount totaling $1,300,000 and a transaction expense amount of $20,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the December 2021 Note. The December 2021 Note had $2,035,000 in debt issuance costs, including fees paid in cash of $1,095,000 and 3,000,000 warrants issued to placement agents with a fair value of $940.000. The warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.32; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%. The warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt.

Beginning on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the December 2021 Investor has the right to redeem up to $1,000,000 of the outstanding balance per month. Payments may be made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equals 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the December 2021 Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the December 2021 Note. The redemption amount shall include a premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the December 2021 Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount. In addition to the December 2021 Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the December 2021 Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.

Within 180 days of the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the Company will obtain an effective registration statement or a supplement to any existing registration statement or prospectus with the SEC registering at least $15,000,000 in shares of Common Stock for the December 2021 Investor’s benefit such that any redemption using shares of Common Stock could be done using registered Common Stock. Additionally, as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of the December 2021 Note, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by March 1, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. On February 7, 2022, the Company and the December 2021 Investor entered into an amendment to the December 2021 SPA, which extended the date by which the Uplist must be completed to April 15, 2022. In consideration of the grant of the extension there was an extension fee of $249,079 added to the principal balance, which has been recognized as a financing cost in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement. Subsequently, the date by which the Uplist had to be completed was further extended to June 15, 2022, and again to November 15, 2022, with no additional fee included. The Company will make a one-time payment to the December 2021 Investor equal to 15% of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the offering expected to be effected in connection with the Uplist (whether from the sale of shares of its Common Stock and / or preferred stock) within ten (10) days of receiving such amount. In the event the Company does not make this payment, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. In addition, the Company has 30 days in which to secure the December 2021 Note and grant the December 2021 Investor a first position security interest in the real property in Texas and Iowa, and if it is not effectuated within the 30 days the outstanding balance will be increased by 15%. The Company is required to reserve 65,000,000 shares of common stock from its authorized and unissued common stock and to add 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the Share Reserve on or before March 10, 2022.

15

The December 2021 Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include a failure to deliver conversion shares, the Company fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the December 2021 Investor’s written consent, the Company effectuates a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to the December 2021 Investor, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant, and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the December 2021 Investor may consider the December 2021 Note immediately due and payable. Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the December 2021 Note increases from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants and Events of Default.

The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and was accounted for as a derivative liability. As of December 31, 2022 the fair value of the derivative is $30,028,000, with a change in fair value of $16,927,000 recognized in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

On November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior Note”) with the December 2021 Investor through which the December 2021 Note was amended and restated in its entirety. These amendments were made in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 10), The main modification of the terms of the Senior Note was that the conversion feature was eliminated. Second, a Mandatory Payment was added whereby within 3 trading days of the closing upon the Merger an amount equal to the lesser of (A) one-third of the amount retained in the Trust Account at the Effective Time or (B) $10,000,000, in order to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note; after which the remaining balance of the Convertible Note is to be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on a date after the Closing Date or the termination of such agreement. Additionally, if the Closing Date is after December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of all indebtedness owed by the Company to December 2021 Investor will be increased automatically by 2% and will automatically increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the Closing, or substantially similar terms as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Additional key modifications include i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) Maturity date was modified from December 15, 2023 to December 4, 2023, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”). As of December 31, 2022, the Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of December 31, 2022, in the amount of approximately $1,309,000.

The Restructured Senior Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the conversion feature has been eliminated and therefore the modified August Note is determined to be fundamentally different from the original convertible note. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $18,914,000, there was a gain in extinguishment of approximately $2,540,000. As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the Senior Note will be accounted for at fair value until it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the Senior Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The Senior Note was revalued as of December 31, 2022 at approximately $20,223,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $1,309,000 recognized in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001. Of this amount, 5,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are authorized and outstanding, 5,000 shares Series B preferred stock are authorized and no shares outstanding, 5,000 shares Series D preferred stock are authorized with no shares outstanding 10,000 shares Series E preferred stock are authorized and 1,670 and 2,840 outstanding, respectively, and 750,000 shares of Series F preferred stock are authorized with 750,000 outstanding, respectively.

Series E Preferred Stock

On June 16, 2022, one of the holders of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock chose to exercise their right, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation relating to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, to receive the rights extended to the convertible noteholder, of 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As the exercise of the conversion price adjustment was similar to a down round, and the Company has not yet adopted ASU 2020-06, the accounting treatment of ASU 2017-11 was applied, whereby the adjustment was treated as a contingent beneficial conversion feature recognized as of the triggering date. As of June 16, 2022, this holder held 940 shares of the Series E preferred stock. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company as compared to the conversion price, determined there was a $99,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which was fully amortized as there is no remaining redemption date to their Series E Preferred Stock. The additional rights of the convertible note which were applied include the 10% increase in the outstanding balance if an uplist to a national exchange was not consummated by the Company by March 1, 2022, for an increase of 130 Series E Preferred shares with a stated value of $156,000, as well as an exit fee of 15% to be recognized upon conversions of the Series E Preferred shares into shares of common stock.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, 1,300 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into 14,458,127 shares of common stock.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series E preferred stock was approximately $28,000 and $113,000, and the Series E beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized.

The outstanding warrants shall be a) cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the fair value of the warrants based on the Black Scholes model, with the exercise price to be adjusted to equal 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company common stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjusted Exercise Price”); or (b) as of the Effective Time, canceled and treated as if exercised for that number of shares of the Company’s common stock calculated using the Black Scholes model fair value, the number of Warrant Shares on the Closing Date and the Adjusted Exercise Price, with the shares of the Company’s common stock that would have been due to Holder as a result of such exercise of the Warrant treated as if issued to Holder and then converted into the right to receive (i) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) plus (ii) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in the Merger Agreement. For the Series E Preferred Stock that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, they shall be canceled and treated as if converted into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (i) the stated value of $1,200 per share plus any unpaid dividends, multiplied by 1.25, divided by (ii) 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date. The shares of the Company’s common stock that would have been due to the holder as a result of the conversion of such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated as issued to holder and converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive (y) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration plus (z) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in the Merger Agreement.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Patents Purchasesublease for a new office space in Texas, on two floors. The lease commenced on August 1, 2021 for a monthly rent of $7,000, and will terminate on October 31, 2025, for one of the spaces, and commence in the second half of 2022 for monthly rent of $1,727, and terminate on October 31, 2025, for the second space. On June 2, 2021, the Company paid a deposit of $52,362 which shall be applied to the last nine months of the sublease term, and $17,454 security deposit, which is included in Prepaid expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company assessed its new office lease as an operating lease.

At inception, on August 1, 2021, the ROU and lease liability was calculated as approximately $316,000, based on the net present value of the future lease payments over the term of the lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease discount payments as the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for their corporate office lease. In this case, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate of 5.75% as the interest rate it could have incurred to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease term. The Company estimated its rate based on observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial debt of a similar duration as to what rate would have been effective for the Company.

On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into an equipment lease agreement for VOIP phone equipment. The lease term is for sixty months, with a monthly lease payment of approximately $300. The Company assessed the equipment lease as an operating lease. The Company determined the Right of Use asset and Lease liability values at inception as approximately $17,000 calculated at the present value of all future lease payments for the lease term, using an incremental borrowing rate of 5.75%.

Merger Agreement

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Yotta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Yotta”), and Yotta Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Yotta (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Patents Agreement”“Transactions”) were approved by the board of directors of each of the Company, Yotta, and Merger Sub.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, the Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yotta (the “Merger). In addition, Yotta will be renamed “NaturalShrimp, Incorporated” or such other name as shall be designated by the Company. Other capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides for aggregate consideration to be issued to securityholders of the Company of 17,500,000 shares (the “Closing Merger Consideration Shares”) of Yotta’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Yotta Shares”), to be issued at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), plus an additional (i) 5,000,000 Yotta Shares if the Surviving Corporation has at least $15,000,000 in revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and (ii) 5,000,000 Yotta Shares if the Surviving Corporation has at least $30,000,000 in revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (collectively, the “Contingent Merger Consideration Shares”).

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time each share of Common Stock outstanding or deemed outstanding pursuant to the provisions discussed immediately below as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive its allocable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares and the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares (to the extent the required revenue thresholds are met).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and agreements that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will enter into with holders of such convertible securities, such convertible securities will be canceled prior to the closing of the Merger in exchange (except for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”) for a cash payment or Yotta Shares as follows: (i) at the option of the holder thereof, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock will be canceled in exchange for a cash payment based on the value thereof or treated as exercised for shares of Common Stock, in each case based on an adjusted exercise price and as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement and/or the individual agreements, and if treated as exercised, converted into the right to receive such deemed shares of Common Stock’s allocable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares and the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares; (ii) each outstanding share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, will be canceled and treated as if converted into shares of Common Stock at an adjusted conversion rate as set forth in the Merger Agreement and/or such individual agreements, and converted into the right to receive such deemed shares of Common Stock’s allocable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares and the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares; and (iii) each outstanding share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series E Preferred”), will be canceled and treated as if converted into shares of Common Stock at an adjusted conversion rate as set forth in the Merger Agreement and/or such individual agreements, and converted into the right to receive such deemed shares of Common Stock’s allocable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares and the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares. In addition, each holder of Series E Preferred will be entitled to receive at the Effective Time an additional number of Closing Merger Consideration Shares as are necessary to ensure that the per-share value of the Yotta Shares that such stockholder is entitled to receive is not less than the per-share value (based on the effective purchase price) of the aggregate Yotta Shares then held by any Yotta stockholder after taking into account any newly-issued Yotta Shares that such Yotta stockholder acquires directly from Yotta prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) (which will reduce the number of Closing Merger Consideration Shares that will be issued to the Company’s other securities holders). The Series A Preferred will be cancelled and retired without any conversion thereof and for no consideration. 

As noted in Notes 5 and 6, the Company entered into Restructuring Agreements with the December 2021 Investor as required in the Merger Agreement.

21

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of NaturalShrimp into Yotta in accordance with GAAP because NaturalShrimp has been determined to be the accounting acquirer under ASC 805 under the no-redemption and full redemption scenarios. Under this method of accounting, Yotta will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of NaturalShrimp will become the historical financial statements of NaturalShrimp Incorporated, and Yotta’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with NaturalShrimp beginning on the acquisition date. For accounting purposes, the financial statements of NaturalShrimp Incorporated will represent a continuation of the financial statements of NaturalShrimp with the transaction being treated as the equivalent of NaturalShrimp issuing stock for the net assets of Yotta, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Yotta will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of NaturalShrimp in future reports of NaturalShrimp Incorporated. 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statement was issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement.

After the period end, there were three purchases of a total of 14,880,460 shares of common stock for a net amount of $878,365, with share price ranging from $0.060 to $0.065.

On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into a secured promissory note (“January 2023 Note”) with F&T. an investor (the “Investor”). The January 2023 Note is in the aggregate principal amount of $631,968. The January 23 Note has an interest rate of 10% per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance date of the January 23 Note. The January 23 Note carried an original issue discount totaling $56,868, whereby the purchase price is $575,100. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the January 23 Note, including upon repayment of the January 23 Note at maturity, shall be subject to an exit fee of 15% of the portion of the Outstanding Balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”).

23

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to NaturalShrimp Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: NaturalShrimp USA Corporation (“NSC”) and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”) and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars.

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 3, 2008 under the name “Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc.” On January 30, 2015, we acquired substantially all of the assets of NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH”), that had developed the proprietary technology to grow and sell shrimp potentially anywhere in the world that is now the basis of our business. Such assets consisted primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of its subsidiaries NaturalShrimp USA Corporation (“NSC”) and NaturalShrimp Global (“NS Global”), and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas, in exchange for our issuance of 75,520,240 shares of our common stock to NSC. As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we changed our principal business to a global shrimp farming company. We changed our name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated” in 2015.

Business Overview

We are a biotechnology company and have developed proprietary platform technologies that allow us to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. Our system uses technology that allows us to produce a naturally grown shrimp “crop” weekly without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We have developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows us to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors, and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity, and temperature for optimal shrimp production. The Company’s production facilities are located in La Coste, Texas and Webster City, Iowa.

On December 17, 2020, we acquired certain assets from VeroBlue Farms USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries VBF Transport, Inc. and Iowa’s First, Inc., including a facility that was designed for the growth of barramundi fish that we are in the process of converting so that it can produce shrimp using the Company’s propriety technology. The consideration for the purchase of these assets was (i) $10,000,000, consisting of (i) $5,000,000 in cash paid at closing, (ii) $3,000,000 payable in 36 months with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annuum, interest only payable quarterly on the first day of the quarter, with the remaining balance to be paid as a balloon payment on the maturity date, and (iii) $2,000,000 payable in 48 months with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annuum, interest only payable quarterly on the first day of the quarter, with the remaining balance to be paid as a balloon payment on the maturity date. The Company also issued 500,000 shares of common stock as a finder’s fee in connection with the transaction.

The facility was originally designed as an aquaculture facility. The Company has begun a modification process to convert the plant to produce shrimp, which will allow us to scale faster without having to build new facilities. The Iowa facility contains the tanks and infrastructure that the Company will use to support the production of shrimp with the incorporation of the Company’s electrocoagulation platform technology. The Company also plans to convert additional square footage currently used as storage to its planned shrimp processing plant. The development of the facility is 40% completed with full development of the facility expected by December 31, 2022.

On May 25, 2021, the Company purchased from F&T had previously jointly developed and patentedWater Solutions LLC (“F&T”) its 50% ownership interest in a water treatment technology used or useful in growing aquatic species in re-circulating and enclosed environments that the Company and F&T had previously jointly developed and patented (the “Patent”) with each party owning a fifty percent (50%) interest. Upon the closing of the Patents Agreement, the Company would purchase F&T’s interest in the Patent,, as well as F&T’s 100% interest in a second patent associated with the first Patent issued to F&T in March 2018 and all other intellectual property rights owned by F&T for a purchase price of $2,000,000 in cash and issue9,900,9909,900,990 shares of the Company’s common stock.

24

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: NSC, NS Global, and NAS.

Evolution of Technology

In 2001, we began research and development of a high density, natural aquaculture system that is not dependent on ocean water to provide quality, fresh shrimp every week, 52 weeks a year. Our initial system was successful, but we determined that it would not be economically feasible due to high operating costs. Over the next several years, using the knowledge we gained from developing the first system, we developed a shrimp production system that eliminated the high costs associated with the previous system. We have produced thousands of pounds of shrimp over the last few years in order to develop a design that will consistently produce quality shrimp that grow to a large size at a specific rate of growth. This included experimenting with various types of natural live and synthesized feed supplies before selecting the most appropriate nutritious and reliable combination. It also included utilizing monitoring and control automation equipment to minimize labor costs and to provide the necessary oversight for proper regulation of the shrimp environment.

Production and Sales

On July 3, 2022, the La Coste, Texas shrimp production facility experienced a fire that damaged the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) including the filtration equipment within the building. The initial investigation indicated that the fire started at an external source near the WTP building. No one was hurt and this did not cause any damage to the main production building containing the shrimp. The Company immediately engaged its Emergency Response Team comprised of management, engineering, production, and sales personnel organized to quickly respond and deal with potential situations such as this. Fortunately, the Company has the necessary backup equipment to replace the damaged equipment which will allow continued production and sales in Texas. The Company received $700,000 from the insurance company for the claim filed for the fire damage. Due to the damage caused by the fire, the Company has written off approximately $1,764,000 of the fixed assets, and $325,000 of the accumulated depreciation, which, less the $700,000 insurance settlement, has resulted in the recognition of a loss due to fire in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Texas began selling live shrimp in late June, and Iowa has been selling since November of 2021. The initial live shrimp sales were limited in size to establish and train customers in shipping and handling procedures. These sales are targeted presently in the Chicago and San Antonio areas. As previously announced, the Company has established a partnership with US Foods, a leading foodservice distributor, to deliver the Company’s fresh never frozen shrimp to US Foods in the South Texas area. The Company expects sales to begin in November 2022 with sales of approximately 1,000 pounds per month with expected expansion of sales to 4,000 pounds per month in the first calendar quarter of 2023. Total sales have also recently included the selling of shrimp at the downtown Webster City, Iowa market for the local Chamber of Commerce.

There was no derivative liability in the prior period. Therefore, the change in fair value is a new recognition in the current period. The interest expense increases in the current period, based on the two new notes issued in December of 2021 and August of 2022. The interest rate on both notes is 12%, so the interest expense on it is approximately $592,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, which is the cause of the increase in interest expense for the current period as compared to the prior period.

Additionally, as the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 for the restructured notes to be accounted for at fair value until settled, the fair value was revalued as of the period end, with a decrease in fair value of the two notes of $1,594,515, recognized as an expense in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

December 15, 2021 Debenture

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December 15, 2021.August 17, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000$5,433,333 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”). The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $433,333 and a transaction expense amount of $10,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the Note. On the Closing Date the Company received $1,100,000, with $3,900,000 put into escrow to be held until certain terms are met, which includes $3,400,000 upon the completion of a successful uplist to NYSE or NASDAQ. The SPA includes a Security Agreement, whereby the note is secured by the collateral set forth in the agreement, covering all of the assets of the Company. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at maturity, shall be subject to an exit fee of 15% of the portion of the Outstanding Balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”).

32

As soon as reasonably possible, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by November 15, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. Following the Uplist, while the Note is still outstanding, ten days after the Company may have a sale of any of its shares of common stock or preferred stock, there shall be a Mandatory Prepayment equal to the greater of $3,000,000 or thirty-three percent of the gross proceeds of the equity sale.

In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 10), on November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “August Note”), through which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The Restructuring Agreement included key modifications, in which i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) in the event that the Closing of the Merger does not occur on or before December 31, 2022, the then-current Outstanding Balance will be increased by 2% and shall increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events��). The Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of December 31, 2022, in the amount of approximately $35,000.

The Restructured August Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $1,933,000, there was a loss in extinguishment of approximately $157,000. As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the August Note will be accounted for at fair value until they are settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the August Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of December 31, 2022 at approximately $2,219,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $286,000 recognized in the Statement of Operations.

Promissory Note – related parties

On August 10, 2022, the Company issued a loan agreement for $300,000, with related parties, which is to be considered priority debt of the Company. As of this filing, five of the related parties have entered into promissory notes under the loan agreement for $50,000 each, for a total of cash received of $250,000. The notes bear interest at a 10% per annum and are due in one year from the date of the note.

Convertible Debentures

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “December 2021 SPA”) with an investor (the “December 2021 Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the December 2021 SPA, the December 2021 Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “December 2021 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000. The December 2021 Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note (the “Maturity Date”). The December 2021 Note carried an original issue discount totaling $1,300,000 and a transaction expense amount of $20,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the December 2021 Note. The December 2021 Note had $2,035,000 in debt issuance costs, including fees paid in cash of $1,095,000 and 3,000,000 warrants issued to placement agents with a fair value of $940,000.$940.000. The warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.32; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%. The warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt.

Beginning on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the December 2021 Investor has the right to redeem up to $1,000,000 of the outstanding balance per month. Payments may be made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equals 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the December 2021 Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the December 2021 Note. The redemption amount shall include a premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount. In addition to the December 2021 Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the December 2021 Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.

Within 180 days of the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the Company will obtain an effective registration statement or a supplement to any existing registration statement or prospectus with the SEC registering at least $15,000,000 in shares of Common Stock for the December 2021 Investor’s benefit such that any redemption using shares of Common Stock could be done using registered Common Stock. Additionally, as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of the December 2021 Note, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by March 1, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. On February 7, 2022, the Company and the December 2021 Investor entered into an amendment to the SPA, which extended the date by which the Uplist must be completed to April 15, 2022. In consideration of the grant of the extension there was an extension fee of $249,079 added to the principal balance, which has been recognized as a financing cost in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement. Subsequently, the date by which the Uplist had to be completed was further extended to June 15, 2022, and again to November 15, 2022, with no additional fee included. The Company will make a one-time payment to the Investor equal to 15% of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the offering expected to be effected in connection with the Uplist (whether from the sale of shares of its Common Stock and / or preferred stock) within ten (10) days of receiving such amount. In the event Borrower does not make this payment, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. In addition, the Company has 30 days in which to secure the Note and grant the Lender a first position security interest in the real property in Texas and Iowa, and if it is not effectuated within the 30 days the outstanding balance will be increased by 15%. The Company is required to reserve 65,000,000 shares of common stock from its authorized and unissued common stock and to add 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the Share Reserve on or before March 10, 2022.

The Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include a failure to deliver conversion shares, the Company fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the Lenders written consent, the Company effectuates a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to Lender, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant, and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the Investor may consider the Note immediately due and payable. Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the Note increases from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default.

The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivative embedded in the debenture at issuance at $12,985,000, based on assumptions used in the Binomial Option Pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $

0.305 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 0.69% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 125.90%, and the strike price of $0.3075.

February 26,December 2021 Debenture

On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note for the principal amount of $720,000, with an original issue discount of $120,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company. The note bears interest of 12% and is due six months from the date of issuance. The note is convertible from the date of issuance, at a fixed conversion rate of $0.36. The conversion rate shall change to $0.10 upon the event of default. The conversion feature at issuance meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and therefore qualifies for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and would not be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the date of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was an approximately $164,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method. The amortization of the beneficial conversion feature was $27,273 and the original issuance discount was $20,000, for the year ended March 31, 2021. On April 16, 2021, the Company settled the convertible note, consisting of $720,000 in principal, approximately $13,000 in accrued interest, and approximately $110,000 in redemption fee, for a total of $842,972. The Company paid $421,486 in cash, and settled the remaining balance through the conversion into the issuance of 1,303,982 common shares.

NOTE 10 – ACQUISITION OF NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with F&T, for the shares owned by F&T of NAS. Upon the closing of the SPA, the Company purchased the 980,000 shares of NAS’ common stock owned by F&T for a total acquisition price of $3,000,000, consisting of $1,000,000 paid in cash and 3,960,396 shares of the Company’s common stock issued at a market value of $0.505 per share for a total fair value of $2,000,000. The Company paid the cash purchase price on May 20, 2021 and the purchase of the NAS shares closed on May 25, 2021. Prior to entering into the SPA, the Company owned fifty-one percent (51%) and F&T owned forty-nine percent (49%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NAS, and therefore, NAS was included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, with F&T’s ownership accounted for as a non-controlling interest. After the SPA, the non-controlling interest was no longer in existence and NAS became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45, when the parent’s ownership interest changes while the parent retains its controlling interest in a subsidiary, it is accounted for as an equity transaction and there is no gain or loss recognized in the consolidated net loss. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the amount of the non-controlling interest as of the acquisition of NAS shares held by F&T is recognized in equity attributable to the Company. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest prior to the acquisition was a deficit of $87,830, and as a result, a deduction of $3,087,830 was recognized in additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Further, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, from the date thereof until the date that is the twelve-month anniversary of the closing of the Offering, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), GHS shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on May 5, 2021, GHS purchased an additional 15,454,456 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $0.55 per share (the “Second Closing”), for net proceeds of approximately $8,245,000.

Additionally, on May 20, 2021, GHS purchased an additional 2,727,272 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.55 per share (“Third Closing”), for net proceeds of approximately $1,455,000.

On November 22, 2021, in relation to the SPA with a different holder for 1,500 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock, GHS entered into a waiver, whereby they waived their right to participate in a subsequent filing. Additionally, the exercise price on the existing warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock was reduced to $0.35, as well as the issuance of warrants to purchase 3,739,000 shares of common stock warrants, with an exercise price of $0.75. The modification on the change in the exercise price of the warrants was estimated on November 22, 2021, by comparison of the fair value of the warrants with the original exercise price to the fair value with the new exercise price, using Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.38; a risk-free interest rate of 1.33%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%, with a essentially no change in fair value. The newly issued warrants had a fair value of $1,373,000, which was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the same inputs, including the exercise price of $0.75. The warrants fair value has been recognized as a liability, based on the fact it as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the existing convertible debt, with the April 12, 2021 warrants reclassed from equity to warrant liability, and the newly issued warrants liability recognized as financing costs.

Share Exchange Agreement and Redemption

On April 14, 2021, the Company, entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with a holder of the Series D Preferred Stock, whereby, at the closing of the Offering, the Holder agreed to exchange an aggregate of 3,600 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) into 3,739.63 shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The exchange was completed on April 15, 2021. In accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2, exchanges of preferred stock that are considered to be extinguishments are to be accounted for as a redemption. Therefore, the difference between the fair value of the Series E Preferred Stock transferred to the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock and the carrying amount of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the exchange, which was $3,258,189, was accounted for in a manner similar to a dividend.

In addition, in relation to the Offering, on April 15, 2021, the Company redeemed the remaining 2,450 of the Series D Preferred Stock for $3,513,504. In accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock and the carrying amount of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the redemption, which was $2,719,538, was accounted for in a manner similar to a dividend.

The Company analyzed the conversion feature of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the exchange under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the dates of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $3,270,000, to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method.

The note payable has no set monthly payment or maturity date with a stated interest rate of 2%. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid off $655,750 of the note payable. The outstanding balance is approximately $77,000 and $735,000, as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, accrued interest payable was approximately $72,000 and $66,000, respectively.

Shareholder Notes

The Company has entered into several working capital notes payable to multiple shareholders of NSH and Bill Williams, a former officer and director, and a shareholder of the Company, for a total of $486,500. The notes are unsecured and bear interest at 8%. These notes had stock issued in lieu of interest and have no set monthly payment or maturity date. The balance of these notes was $356,404 as of both December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, accrued interest payable was approximately $139,000 and $118,000, respectively.

Shareholders

Beginning in 2010, the Company started entering into several working capital notes payable with various shareholders of NSH for a total of $290,000 and bearing interest at 8%. The balance of these notes at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was $54,647 and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 13 – LEASE

On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a sublease for a new office space in Texas, on two floors. The lease will commence on August 1, 2021 for a monthly rent of $7,000, and terminate on October 31, 2025, for one of the spaces, and commence in the second half of 2022 for monthly rent of $1,727, and terminate on October 31, 2025, for the second space. On June 2, 2021, the Company paid a deposit of $52,362 which shall be applied to the last six months of the sublease term, and $17,454 security deposit, which is included in Prepaid expenses on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet. The Company assessed its new office lease as an operating lease.

At inception, on August 1, 2021, the ROU and lease liability was calculated as approximately $316,000, based on the net present value of the future lease payments over the term of the lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease discount payments as the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for their corporate office lease. In this case, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate of 5.75% as the interest rate it could have incurred to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease term . The Company estimated its rate based on observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial debt of a similar duration as to what rate would have been effective for the Company.

On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into an equipment lease agreement for VOIP phone equipment. The lease term is for sixty months, with a monthly lease payment of approximately $300. The Company assessed the equipment lease as an operating lease. The Company determined the Right of Use asset and Lease liability values at inception as approximately $17,000 calculated at the present value of all future lease payments for the lease term, using an incremental borrowing rate of 5.75%.

On June 24, 2019, the Company entered into a service and equipment lease agreement for water treatment services, consumables and equipment. The lease term was for five years, with a renewal option of an additional five years, with a monthly lease payment of $5,000. The Company analyzed the classification of the lease under ASC 842, and as it did not meet any of the criteria for a financing lease it has been classified as an operating lease. The Company determined the Right of Use asset and Lease liability values at inception at a value of $275,400, calculated at the present value of all future lease payments for the lease term, using an incremental borrowing rate of 5%. As of March 31, 2021, the lease was on hold while the Company waited for new equipment to be delivered and installed. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company has cancelled the lease. As the lease was on hold there has been no lease expense or amortization of the Right of Use asset since inception of the lease and recognition of the Lease liability and Right of Use asset, and therefore there is no gain or loss recognized upon cancellation of the lease.

Corporate History

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 3, 2008 under the name “Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc.” Effective November 5, 2010, we effected an 8-for-1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 12,000,000 shares to 96,000,000 shares. On October 29, 2014, we effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, decreasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 97,000,000 to 9,700,000.

On November 26, 2014, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH which assets consisted primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NSC and NS Global, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).

On January 30, 2015, we consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 75,520,240 shares of our common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets. As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock; NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we changed our principal business to a global shrimp farming company.

Business Overview

We are a biotechnology company and have developed proprietary platform technologies that allow us to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. Our system uses technology which allows us to produce a naturally grown shrimp “crop” weekly and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We have developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows us to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors, and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity, and temperature for optimal shrimp production. The Company’s production facilities are located in La Coste, Texas and Webster City, Iowa.

NS Global, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns less than 1% of Norway Seafood A.S, (formerly NaturalShrimp International A.S.) in Oslo, Norway. This entity was our original European-based partner and was responsible for the construction cost of its facility and initial operating capital.

The first facility built in Spain for NaturalShrimp International A.S. is GambaNatural de España, S.L. The land for the first facility was purchased in Medina del Campo, Spain, and construction of the 75,000 sq. ft. facility was completed in 2016. Medina del Campo is approximately seventy-five miles northwest of Madrid, Spain.

On October 16, 2015, we formed Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). The purpose of NAS is to formalize the business relationship between our Company and F&T Water Solutions LLC (“F&T”) for the joint development of certain water technologies. The technologies shall include, without limitation, any and all inventions, patents, intellectual property, and know-how dealing with enclosed aquatic production systems worldwide. This includes construction, operation, and management of enclosed aquatic production, other than shrimp, facilities throughout the world, co-developed by both parties at our facility located outside of La Coste, Texas. On December 25, 2018, we were awarded U.S. Patent “Recirculating Aquaculture System and Treatment Method for Aquatic Species” covering all indoor aquatic species that utilizes proprietary art.

The facility was originally designed as an aquaculture facility, with the company having production issues. The Company’s has begun a modification process to convert the plant to produce shrimp, which will allow them to scale faster without having to build new facilities. The three Iowa facilities contain the tanks and infrastructure that will be used to support the production of shrimp with the incorporation of the Company’s Electrocoagulation (EC) platform technology.

On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Patents Purchase Agreement (the “Patents Agreement”) with F&T. The Company and F&T had previously jointly developed and patented a water treatment technology used or useful in growing aquatic species in re-circulating and enclosed environments (the “Patent”) with each party owning a fifty percent (50%) interest. Upon the closing of the Patents Agreement, the Company would purchase F&T’s interest in the Patent, F&T’s 100% interest in a second patent associated with the first Patent issued to F&T in March 2018, and all other intellectual property rights owned by F&T for a purchase price of $2,000,000 in cash and issue 9,900,990 shares of the Company’s common stock with a market value of $0.505 per share for a total fair value of $5,000,000, for a total acquisition price of $7,000,000.

The term can be terminated by written notice by mutual consent, or by either party upon a breach of contract, insolvency or filing of bankruptcy. The agreements accord the exclusive rights to purchase or distribute the technology, or buy or rent the equipment, in the Industry Sector, which is the primary business and revenue stream generated from indoor aquaculture farming of any species in the Territory, defined as anywhere in the world except for the countries in the Gulf Corporation Council.

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: NSC, NS Global, NAS.

Evolution of Technology

Historically, efforts to raise shrimp in a high-density, closed system at the commercial level have been met with either modest success or outright failure through “BioFloc Technology.” Infectious agents such as parasites, bacteria and viruses are the most damaging and most difficult to control. Bacterial infection can in some cases be combated through the use of antibiotics (although not always), and in general, the use of antibiotics is considered undesirable and counter to “green” cultivation practices. Viruses can be worse, in that they are immune to antibiotics. Once introduced to a shrimp population, viruses can wipe out entire farms and shrimp populations, even with intense probiotic applications.

Our primary solution against infectious agents is our “Vibrio Suppression Technology.” We believe this system creates higher sustainable densities, consistent production, improved growth and survival rates and improved food conversion without the use of antibiotics, probiotics, or unhealthy anti-microbial chemicals. Vibrio Suppression Technology helps to exclude and suppress harmful organisms that usually destroy “BioFloc” and other enclosed technologies.

In 2001, we began research and development of a high density, natural aquaculture system that is not dependent on ocean water to provide quality, fresh shrimp every week, fifty-two weeks a year. Our initial system was successful, but we determined that it would not be economically feasible due to high operating costs. Over the next several years, using the knowledge we gained from developing the first system, we developed a shrimp production system that eliminated the high costs associated with the previous system. We have continued to refine this technology, eliminating bacteria and other problems that affect enclosed systems, and now have a successful shrimp growing process. We have produced thousands of pounds of shrimp over the last few years in order to develop a design that will consistently produce quality shrimp that grow to a large size at a specific rate of growth. This included experimenting with various types of natural live and synthesized feed supplies before selecting the most appropriate nutritious and reliable combination. It also included utilizing monitoring and control automation equipment to minimize labor costs and to provide the necessary oversight for proper regulation of the shrimp environment. However, there were further enhancements needed to our process and technology in order to begin production of shrimp on a commercially viable scale and to generate revenues.

Our current system consists of a nursery tank where the shrimp are acclimated, then moved to a larger grow-out tank for the rest of the twenty-four-week cycle. During 2016, we engaged in additional engineering projects with third parties to further enhance our indoor production capabilities. For example, through our relationship with Trane, Inc., a division of Ingersoll-Rand Plc (“Trane”), Trane provided a detailed audit to use data to build and verify the capabilities of then initial Phase 1 prototype of a Trane-proposed three tank system at our La Coste, Texas facility. The Company working with F&T Water Solutions contracted RGA Labs, Inc. (“RGA Labs”) to build the initial NaturalShrimp patented Electrocoagulation system for the grow-out, harvesting and processing of fully mature, antibiotic-free Pacific White Leg shrimp. The design provided a viable pathway to begin generating revenue and producing shrimp on a commercially viable scale. The equipment was installed in early June 2018 by RGA Labs, and final financing for the system was provided by one of the Company’s institutional investors. The first post larvae (PL) arrived from the hatchery on July 3, 2018. The Company used the shrimp for sampling to key potential customers and special events such as the Texas Restaurant Association trade show. The Company also received two production PL lots from Global Blue Technologies on March 21, 2019 and April 17, 2019 and from American Penaeid, Inc. on August 7, 2019. Because the shrimp displayed growth that was slower than normal, the Company had a batch tested by an independent lab at the University of Arizona. The shrimp tested positive for Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis (“IHHNV”) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was notified that the facility was under quarantine. On August 26, 2019, the Company was forced to terminate all lots due to the infection. On August 30, 2019, the Company received notice that it was in compliance again and the quarantine had been lifted and the Company began restocking shrimp in the refurbished facility sections. During the aforementioned quarantine, the Company decided to begin an approximately $2,000,000 facility renovation demolishing the interior 16 wood structure lined tanks (720,000 gallons). The Company began replacing the previous tanks with 40 new fiberglass tanks (600,000 gallons) at a cost of approximately $400,000 allowing complete production flexibility with more smaller tanks.

On March 18, 2020, our research and development plant in La Coste, Texas was destroyed by a fire.  The Company believed that it was caused by a natural gas leak, but the fire was so extensive that the cause was undetermined.  No one was injured as a result of the fire.  The majority of the damage was to our pilot production plant, which comprised approximately 35,000 square feet of the total size of all facilities at the La Coste location of approximately 53,000 square feet, but the fire did not impact the separate greenhouse, reservoirs, or utility buildings.  We received total insurance proceeds in the amount of $917,210, the full amount of our claim.  These funds were utilized to rebuild a 40,000 square foot production facility at the La Coste facility and to repurchase the equipment needed to replace what was lost in the fire.  As of the date of this report, this facility is production-ready and, while we have experienced supply chain issues due to COVID-19, we expect the combined output from the La Coste, Texas, and Webster City, Iowa should result in a total of 25,000 pounds of shrimp production for the calendar quarter that will end on March 31, 2022. Also, the Company is expecting to break ground on an 80,000 square foot expansion in La Coste prior to March 31, 2022.

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $2,532,194, which is a 346% increase over operating expenses of $567,297 for the same period in 2020. The overall change in expenses is mainly the result of a ramp up of costs based on the increase in the activity in planning operations, as well as the acquisition and addition of the Iowa facility. Salaries increased by approximately $235,000, due to the new employees. Professional fees increased by approximately $316,000, due to attorneys work with the Company on acquisitions and equity offerings and SEC filings, as well as consultant and accounting fees. The approximately $557,000 increase in other general and administrative expenses includes maintenance work being done in the Texas and Iowa facilities and property taxes paid in Iowa. Additionally, it is the result of the fact that the operating costs in 2020 were decreased due to the slowdown of the progressing of testing and planning to begin commercial operations due to the fire at the Texas plant. The depreciation in the three months ended December 31, 2021, increased due to the new fixed assets acquired from Vero Blue, and the amortization in the current period is the result of the patent acquisition on May 19, 2021 and the License Agreements entered into on August 25, 2021.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 were $7,554,256, which is a 409% increase over operating expenses of $1,483,175 for the same period in 2020.  The overall change in expenses is mainly the result of a ramp up of costs based on the increase in the activity in planning operations, as well as the acquisition and addition of the Iowa facility, especially in general and administrative expenses and facility operations.  Salaries increased by approximately $1,676,000, due to the new employees, as well as the $300,000 bonus paid to the CFO, and the $600,000 bonus to the President and Chief Technology Officer, of which $200,000 remains in accrued expenses, related parties, as of December 31, 2021.  Professional fees increased by approximately $1,004,000, due to attorneys work with the Company on acquisitions and equity offerings and SEC filings, as well as consultant and accounting fees.   The increase in other general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,332,000 includes maintenance work being done in the Texas and Iowa facilities, including travel costs and property taxes paid in Iowa.  Additionally, it is the result of the fact that the operating costs in 2020 were decreased due to the slowdown of the progressing of testing and planning to begin commercial operations due to the fire at the Texas plant.   The depreciation in the nine months ended December 31, 2021, increased due to the new fixed assets acquired from Vero Blue, and the amortization in the current period is the result of the patent acquisition on May 19, 2021 and the License Agreements entered into on August 25, 2021.  

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash on hand of approximately $2,665,000 and working capital deficiency of approximately $16,332,000. as compared to cash on hand of approximately $156,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $3,614,000 as of March 31, 2021. The decrease in working capital for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, is mainly due to the decrease in cash on-hand and increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by a decrease in notes payable – related parties.

Working Capital/(Deficiency)

Our working capital as of December 31, 2021, in comparison to our working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2021, can be summarized as follows:

Current assets increased mainly because of the addition to cash as a result of the equity offerings during April through December 31, 2021, of approximately $17,277,000, a portion of which was then used in the patent and NAS acquisitions, the License agreements, as well as redemption of Series D Preferred shares, plus the $5,000,000 in escrow related to the new long term convertible note. This was offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses, due to the amortization. The increase in current liabilities is primarily due to the $12,985,000 new deriviative liability related to the long term convertible note, which also resulted in the $6,047,000 warrant liability; the $3 million in cash payments owed on the License agreements recorded in accounts payable and the $200,000 remaining in accrued bonuses for the President and Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”), off set by the payoff of bank loans and lines of credit, convertible debt, notes payable to related parties, and the forgiveness of the PPP loan.

The increase in net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 is largely attributable to the increase in the net loss, the gain on the Vero Blue note settlement, plus the increase in accounts payable, offset by the legal settlement with the NSH shareholders for the future issuance of common shares with a fair value of $29.388,000, the increase in the depreciation and amortization and the accrued bonuses for the President and CTO.   

The net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2021 includes $2,000,000 in the patent acquisition and $1,000,000 in the acquisition of shares of the non-controlling interest, the $2,350,000 for the License agreement, as well as approximately $2,116,000 for machinery and equipment and $434,000 for construction in process. The prior year’s cash spent on investing activities consisted mainly of the cash paid for the asset acquisiton of VeroBlue Farms, as well as machinery and equipment and construction in process, offset by $917,210 of cash proceeds received from the insurance settlement for the fire to the pilot production plant.

The net cash provided by financing activities increased by approximately $9,471,000 between periods. For the current period, the Company received approximately $17,277,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants, offset by amounts paying off the convertible note, notes payable with related parties and bank loans, and the amount paid on the redemption of Series D Preferred Shares. In the same period in the prior year, the financing activities primarily arose from the proceeds received from the sale of Series B convertible Preferred Shares and the $103,200 received from the PPP loan.

Our cash position was approximately $2,665,000 as of December 31, 2021. Management believes that our cash on hand and working capital deficit are not sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements for additional anticipated capital expenditures, operating expenses and scale-up of operations for the next twelve months.

Bank Loan

On April 10, 2020, the Company obtained a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan in the amount of $103,200 pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On April 16, 2021, the Company filed for the forgiveness of the PPP loan and was approved for forgiveness of such loan on April 26, 2021.

On January 10, 2017, the Company entered into a promissory note with Community National Bank for $245,000, at an annual interest rate of 5% and a maturity date of January 10, 2020 (the “CNB Note”). The CNB Note is secured by certain real property owned by the Company in LaCoste, Texas, and is also personally guaranteed by the Company’s President, as well as certain shareholders of the Company. On January 10, 2020, the loan was modified, with certain terms amended. The modified note is for the principal balance of $222,736, with initial monthly payments of $1,730 through February 1, 2037, when all unpaid principal and interest will be due and payable. The loan has an initial yearly rate of interest of 5.75% , which may change beginning on February 1, 2023 and each 36 months thereafter, to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1%, but never below 4.25%. The monthly payments may change on the same dates as the interest changes. The Company was also allowed to make payments against the principal at any time. The note was paid off in full on December 20, 2021 The balance of the CNB Note was $214,452 at March 31, 2021, of which $8,725 was in current liabilities.

On November 3, 2015, the Company entered into a short-term note agreement with Community National Bank for a total value of $50,000, with a maturity date of December 15, 2017. On July 18, 2018, the short-term note was replaced by a promissory note for the outstanding balance of $25,298, which bears interest at 8% with a maturity date of July 18, 2021. The note is guaranteed by an officer and director. The note was paid off in full in July of 2021. The balance of the note at March 31, 2021 was $3,124.

Convertible Debentures

Tthe Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a  maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”). The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $1,300,000 and a transaction expense amount of $20,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the Note. The Note had $2,035,000 in debt issuance costs, including fees paid in cash of $1,095,000 and 3,000,000 warrants issued to placement agents with a fair value of $940.000.  The warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.32; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%.  The warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt. 

Beginning on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the Note, the Investor has the right to redeem up to $1,000,000 of the outstanding balance per month. Payments may be made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equals 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the Note. The redemption amount shall include a premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). In addition to the Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.

Within 180 days of the issuance date of the Note, the Company will obtain an effective registration statement or a supplement to any existing registration statement or prospectus with the SEC registering at least $15,000,000 in shares of Common Stock for the Investor’s benefit such that any redemption using shares of Common Stock could be done using registered Common Stock. Additionally, as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of the Note, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by March 1, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. The Company will make a one-time payment to the Investor equal to 15% of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the offering expected to be effected in connection with the Uplist (whether from the sale of shares of its Common Stock and / or preferred stock) within ten (10) days of receiving such amount. In the event Borrower does not make this payment, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. The December 2021 Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the December 2021 Investor may consider the December 2021 Note immediately due and payable. Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the December 2021 Note increases from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default.

On February 26, 2021,November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible noteRestructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior Note”) with the principalDecember 2021 Investor through which the December 2021 Note was amended and restated in its entirety. These amendments were made in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 10), The main modification of the terms of the Senior Note was that the conversion feature was eliminated. Second, a Mandatory Payment was added whereby within 3 trading days of the closing upon the Merger an amount equal to the lesser of $720,000, with an original issue discount(A) one-third of $120,000, convertible into sharesthe amount retained in the Trust Account at the Effective Time or (B) $10,000,000, in order to repay a portion of common stockthe outstanding balance of the Convertible Note; after which the remaining balance of the Convertible Note is to be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on a date after the Closing Date or the termination of such agreement. Additionally, if the Closing Date is after December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of all indebtedness owed by the Company to December 2021 Investor will be increased automatically by 2% and will automatically increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the Closing, or substantially similar terms as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Additional key modifications include i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) Maturity date was modified from December 15, 2023 to December 4, 2023, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”). As of December 31, 2022, the Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of December 31, 2022, in the amount of approximately $1,309,000.

Going Concern and Management Liquidity Plans

The auditedunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses through the period to December 31, 20212022 of approximately $101,799,000$163,038,000 as well as negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $12,201,000.$4,754,000. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following the date of issuance of this filing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance the continued build-out of our equipment and for general and administrative expenses. These alternatives include raising funds through public or private equity markets and either through institutional or retail investors. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with our fund-raising initiatives, management believes that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

Future Financing

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business. In addition, while we have received capital from various private placements that have enabled us to fund our operations, these funds have been largely used to develop our processes, although additional funds are needed for other corporate operational and working capital purposes. However, not including funds needed for capital expenditures or to pay down existing debt and trade payables, we anticipate that we will need to raise an additional $2,500,000  to cover all of our capital and operational expenses over the next 12 months, not including any capital expenditures needed as part of any commercial scale-up of our equipment. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional necessary financing on a timely basis, or if we are unable to generate significant revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due, and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The Derivative and warrant liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements.

Basic and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance with ASC 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option into approximately 751,385,000 underlying common shares, 170 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 2,775,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at conversion price of 90% of the average of the two lowest market prices over the last 10 days, 750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 180,333,000 underlying common shares, whose shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option into approximately 768,561,000 underlying common shares, 1,500 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 5,143,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $0.35, and 170 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 2,775,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at conversion price of 90% of the average of the two lowest market prices over the last 10 days, 750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 184,387,000 underlying common shares, and 18,573,116 warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets

The Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as such, the Company records revenue when their customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.  

To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Our recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements included herein for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

38

 

During the period ending December 31, 2021,2022, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEMItem 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESControls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensureprovide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design ofrecognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

OurThe Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Report.

Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing,, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses belowin internal control over financial reporting described below. Thus, there remains a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we cannot provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, to allow our principal financial and executive officers to make timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of December 31, 2022.

Management’s evaluation was based on the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which are indicativeexisted as of many small companies with small number of staff:March 31, 2022, and which continue to exist, as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K:

·

inadequateInadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;

·

lackLack of independent Board of Directors (as of the balance sheet date) and absence of Audit Committee to exercise oversight responsibility related to financial reporting and internal control;

·

lackLack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and

·

lackLack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

39

 

Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Remediation Plan

Management continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.

The remediation actions planned include:

Identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company;
Establish an independent Board of Directors (which we expect to establish in our fourth fiscal quarter that will end on March 31, 2023) and an Audit Committee to provide oversight for remediation efforts and ongoing guidance regarding accounting, financial reporting, overall risks and the internal control environment;
Retain additional accounting personnel with public company financial reporting, technical accounting, SEC compliance, and strategic financial advisory experience to achieve adequate segregation of duties; and
Continue to develop formal policies and procedures on accounting and internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of existing controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during ourthe fiscal quarter ended December 31, 20212022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company disputed the allegations and has counterclaimed against RGA for additional costs and expenses incurred by the Company in correcting, repairing and retro-fitting the equipment to enable it to work in the Company’s facilities. As a result of RGA’s failure to respond to written discovery served by the Company and failure of RGA to satisfy requirements imposed by an order compelling response, the court issued an order prohibiting RGA from introducing any evidence at the time of trial other than the original agreement between RGA and the Company. Further, the Court sustained the Company’s objection to RGA’s written discovery obviating the Company’s obligation to respond. The Company and RGA agreed to the terms of a settlement at the mediation that was held in Illinois in August 2021 but continued to negotiate the manner and method by which the settlement agreement was to be implement. On December 31, 2021, the settlement agreement, including the joint and mutual release and the non-competition agreement were signed by RGA and by the Company on January 5, 2022. The agreed upon funds were transferred to RGA and the case was dismissed with prejudice to the re-filing of same on January 14, 2022.

Gary Shover

Table of Contents

On November 15, 2021, a hearing was held before the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division at which time Mr. Shover and the Company presented arguments as to why the Court should approve a joint motion for settlement.  After considering the argument of counsel and taking questions from those NSH Shareholders who were present through video conferencing link, the Court approved the motion of the parties to allow Mr. Shover and all like and similarly situated NSH Shareholders to exchange each share of NSH held by a NSH Shareholder for a share of the Company.  A final Order was signed on December 6, 2021 and the case was closed by an Order of the Court of the same date.  The Company is to issue approximately 93 million shares in settlement, which has been recognized as stock payable on the Company’s balance sheet, and its fair value of $29,388,000, based on the market value of the Company’s common shares of $0.316 on the date the case was closed, has been recognized in the the Company’s statement of operations as legal settlement.  As of February 11, 2022, the NSH Shareholders have not yet received any shares of the Company.

The Company has resolved all outstanding litigation involving the Company and there are no suits or cases pending in which the Company is a party.

ITEMItem 1A. RISK FACTORSRisk Factors

Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors set forth in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021.2022. The risks described in our Form 10-K and this Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant may also have an adverse effect on the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021,2022, filed with SEC on June 29, 2021.2022 other than the following:

In this document:

● “Business Combination” means the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

40

 

ITEM

● “Merger Agreement” means that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2022, by and among Yotta, Merger Sub and NaturalShrimp, as it may be amended or supplemented.

● “Merger Sub” means Yotta Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Yotta.

● “New NaturalShrimp” means the combined company after the Business Combination.

● “New NaturalShrimp Common Stock” means the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New NaturalShrimp.

● “Yotta” means Yotta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

New NaturalShrimp will issue shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and may issue additional shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock or other equity or convertible debt securities without approval of the holders of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock, which would dilute then-existing ownership interests and may depress the market price of the New NaturalShrimp Common Stock.

We anticipate that, following the Business Combination, (i) former NaturalShrimp securityholders will own approximately 51.6% of the outstanding shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock, (ii) former Yotta stockholders will own approximately 46.9% of the outstanding shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock, and (iii) the representative of the underwriters in Yotta’s initial public offering will own 1.5% of the outstanding shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock. These percentages are based on the pro forma ownership of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock as of September 30, 2022, and assume, among other things, that no shares of Yotta’s common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or any further extensions of the date by which Yotta must consummate an initial business combination. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, these percentages will differ.

New NaturalShrimp may continue to require capital investment to support its business and may issue additional shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock or other equity or convertible debt securities of equal or senior rank in the future without approval of its stockholders in certain of circumstances.

New NaturalShrimp’s issuance of additional shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock or other equity or convertible debt securities would have the following effects: (i) New NaturalShrimp’s existing stockholders’ proportionate ownership interest in New NaturalShrimp would decrease; (ii) the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease; (iii) the relative voting power of each previously outstanding shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock may be diminished; and (iv) the market price of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock may decline.

Yotta may be subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in connection with redemptions of its Common Stock after December 31, 2022.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because Yotta is are a Delaware corporation and because its securities trade on Nasdaq, it is a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), who has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of Yotta’s common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. Generally, issuances of securities in connection with an initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of an initial business combination) are expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year. In addition, because the Excise Tax would be payable by Yotta and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the Excise Tax have not been determined.

41

Future resales of shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock issued to NaturalShrimp stockholders and other significant stockholders may cause the market price of the New NaturalShrimp Common Stock to drop significantly, even if New NaturalShrimp’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately after the closing of the Business Combination NaturalShrimp’s securityholders will hold approximately 51.6% of the outstanding shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock, approximately [●]% of which will be eligible for sale immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination. These percentages are based on the pro forma ownership of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock as of September 30, 2022, and assume among other things, and that no shares of Yotta’s common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or any further extensions of the date by which Yotta must consummate an initial business combination. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, these percentages will differ. Pursuant to Lock-Up Agreements entered into in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain New NaturalShrimp stockholders will be restricted, subject to certain exceptions, from selling any of the New NaturalShrimp Common Stock that they receive in or hold at the effective time of the Business Combination, which restrictions will expire, and therefore additional shares of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock will be eligible for resale six months after the effective time of the Business Combination.

Subject to the Lock-Up Agreements, the NaturalShrimp stockholders that are a party thereto (which are NaturalShrimp’s three executive officers and directors) may sell New NaturalShrimp Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), if available. In these cases, the resales must meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, including, because Yotta is currently a shell company, waiting until one year after New NaturalShrimp’s filing with the SEC of Form 10-type information reflecting the Business Combination.

Upon expiration of the lock-up periods set forth in the Lock-Up Agreements, and upon effectiveness of the registration statement that New NaturalShrimp will be required to file pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into prior to the closing of the Business Combination by Yotta, certain stockholders of Yotta and certain stockholders of NaturalShrimp who will be affiliates of New NaturalShrimp immediately after the closing, or upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144, certain former Yotta stockholders and certain other significant stockholders of New NaturalShrimp may sell large amounts of New NaturalShrimp Common Stock in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in New NaturalShrimp’s share price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the New NaturalShrimp Common Stock.

New NaturalShrimp may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If New NaturalShrimp fails to meet the continued listing requirements and Nasdaq delists its securities, it could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for New NaturalShrimp; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future

We face risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that could significantly disrupt our research and development, operations, sales, and financial results, and other epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases may have a similar impact.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions in the global economy, and the impact may continue to be significant. While the threat level has declined to a significant extent in the United States and globally, and our operations have not been materially and negatively impacted by the pandemic to date, our business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as government efforts to control or combat it, particularly if there is a resurgence in infections, including as a result of the emergence of new variants of the virus that causes COVID-19. In addition to global macroeconomic effects, the COVID-19 outbreak and any other related adverse public health developments could cause disruption to our operations and manufacturing activities. For example, if governments re-implement restrictions in an attempt to combat any resurgence of COVID-19, we may experience disruptions to our business operations resulting from quarantines, self-isolations, or other movement and restrictions on the ability of our employees to perform their jobs that may impact our ability to develop and design our products and services in a timely manner or meet required milestones. Further, our third-party equipment manufacturers, third-party raw material suppliers, and consultants have been and may continue to be disrupted by worker absenteeism, quarantines, and restrictions on employees’ ability to work, office and factory closures, disruptions to ports and other shipping infrastructure, border closures, or other travel or health-related restrictions, which could adversely affect our business and operations. Other epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases could have similar impacts on NaturalShrimp as well.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDSUnregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

There were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the ninethree months ended December 31, 20212022 that were not previously reported in an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or a Current Report on Form 8-K except as follows:

On April 8, 2021, the Company converted 262 Series B into 3,144,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant, with a three-month term, that shall automatically renew each three months unless one party terminates the agreement.  The compensation shall be $12,500 in cash per month for the first six months and $15,000 per month thereafter.  Also included in compensation are 200,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $99,600 based upon the market price of $0.50 upon the grant date. The shares of common stock will vest in quarterly installments, with 50,000 to vest immediately, and 50,000 each quarter at $24,900, with $74,700 vested through December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, three consultants were issued a total of approximately 430,0002022, the Company sold 17,175,675 shares of common stock withat a total fair valuenet amount of approximately $158,000, based on$1,378,000, at share prices ranging from $0.08 to $0.10.

Unless otherwise specified, the market price of $0.36 on the grant date. 

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, a number of new employees were issued a total of 175,000 shares of common stock as signing bonuses, with a total fair value of $68,300, based on the market price of $0.395 on the grant date.

On December 23, 2021, the Company converted 278 Series B into 3,336,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 1,200 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into 4,114,286 shares of common stock.  During the three months ended December 31, 2021, an additional 1,200 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into 4,114,286 shares of common stock. 

The above securities were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The issuance of the shares to the consultant qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transactions, manner of the issuance and number of securities issued. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since they agreed to and received securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering”. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
