The lender was Auctus Fund LLC. The notes have a maturity of August 27, 2019 and interest rate of 12% per annum and are convertible at a price of 60% of the lowest trading price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed for the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately prior to conversion. Additionally, if the stock price falls below par value, additional shares will be issued at the lower conversion rate so that stocks continue to be issued at par value. The note may be prepaid but carries a penalty in association with the remittance amount, as there is an accretion component to satisfy the note with cash. The Company is currently negotiating an extension with the noteholder as it is currently past due. As a result of a default provision, the interest rate has increased to 24% and additional principal was added in the amount of $15,000. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance with accrued interest was $178,812. On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with TCA Special Situations Credit Strategies ICAV, an Irish collective asset vehicle (the “Buyer” or “TCA ICAV”), and TCA Beyond Commerce, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“TCA Beyond Commerce”), pursuant to which the Buyer purchased from the Company a senior secured redeemable debenture having an initial principal amount of $900,000 and an interest rate of 16% per annum (the “Initial Debenture”). The Initial Debenture, and any future debentures that may be purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Additional Debentures”), is secured through an unconditional and continuing security interest in all of the assets and properties, including after acquired assets, of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, which are acting as guarantors with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Initial Debenture and any Additional Debentures, pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated December 31, 2019, entered into by the Company and TCA Beyond Commerce in favor of the Buyer (the “Security Agreement”). The maturity date on this security is December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company paid $73,453 to reduce the loan balance. The balance of the loan payable on the Company’s books as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $826,547. In May 2020, the SEC appointed a Receiver to close down the TCA Global Master Fund, L.P. over allegations of accounting fraud. The amount recorded by the Company as being owed to TCA was based on TCA’s application of prior payments made by the Company. On April 13, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Default and Demand for Payment for $933,687. The Company believes that prior payments of principal and interest may have been applied to unenforceable investment banking and other fees and charges. It is the Company’s position that the amount owed to TCA is less than the amount set forth above. Our attorney has contacted counsel for TCA to discuss prompt settlement of this matter. Effective February 28, 2019 as a component of the closing of the business combination between Beyond Commerce, Inc. and Service 800, Jean Mork Bredeson, Founder and President of Service 800, the Company issued a $2,100,000 three-year 5.5% promissory note to Ms. Bredeson. Interest only payments are required during the first year of the note. The $2,100,000 promissory note is personally guaranteed by the estate of George Pursglove whose executor is Geordan Pursglove, the Company’s President and CEO. As a component of the Service 800 transaction, in lieu of the entire cash payment of $2,100,000 being made to Ms. Bredeson, a $210,000 amount was to be withheld until May 30, 2019 and continues to be outstanding. This note does not carry any interest obligations. Also, as all cash and accounts receivables at the effective date of the closing were to be retained by Ms. Bredeson, this allocation of cash is to be distributed quarterly on a non interest basis as true-ups are derived, which amounted to $1,409,169 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Although holdbacks did not initially include interest obligations, we agreed to begin accruing interest at 15% in October 2019. The amount of accrued interest relating to the $1,409,169 was $364,861 as of March 31, 2023. On March 30, 2021 the Company through its Service 800 Inc. subsidiary, received $150,000 in funding in conjunction with a promissory note under the SBA Loan Program. Borrower will be obligated to repay to the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due under the Loan, including principal and interest. This loan is a 30-year term note, bearing 3.75% interest due March 30, 2051. Installment payments, including principal and interest, of $731 monthly, will begin September 1, 2023. The amount of accrued interest payable for the SBA Loan was $11,373 as of March 31, 2023. On July 19, 2021, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Geordan G. Pursglove, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the principal amount of $1,500,000, in satisfaction of Mr. Pursglove’s accrued salary owing of $1,239,800 and recognized a $260,200 loss on extinguishment of debt. The Note accrues interest at 2% per annum, with the principal and interest payments due in twelve equal monthly installments. At the holder’s election, the Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share equal to 100% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The cash maturity date is July 19, 2022. There was a conversion of $150,000 during the first quarter of 2022, and the Company issued 375,000,000 shares of common stock at the quoted stock price at the date of conversion of $0.0004 per shares. The amount of accrued interest payable on the $1,350,000 note payable was $47,035 as of March 31, 2023. On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Discover Growth Fund, LLC (the “Discover”), in the aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 for which the Company received $1,000,000 in cash, reflecting an original issuance discount of 20%, with repayment to be made not later than April 1, 2023. Pursuant to the Note, at any time and from time to time Discover may, in its sole discretion, subject to certain ownership limitations, convert all or any portion of the then outstanding balance of the Note into shares of the common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to the closing bid price on March 31, 2022 of $ 0.0003. The Company recorded a debt discount of $200,000 for the original issue discount amortizable over the succeeding twelve months in accordance with ASC 835-30-45. Accrued interest payable as of March 31, 2023 was $71,277. |
