The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note.

A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903. At the time the note becomes convertible, the Company will recognize a derivative liability at fair value related to the embedded conversion option at that time. Prior to these transactions, Robert Hymers III and Alan Tsai each sold equity interest representing a total of 18.8% of the outstanding equity interest of NPE to Edward Manolos, a Director and preferred stockholder of the Company in a private transaction. As a result of these two transactions, the Company beneficially controls approximately 37% of the equity of NPE. After this transaction, a venture capital company controls 40% of the equity interests in NPE, the Company, Alan Tsai and Edward Manolos each control 18.8% and one other entity controls 3.5%. The Company evaluated its interest in NPE as of August 31, 2020 under ASC 810. Management determined that it had a variable interest in NPE, but that NPE does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity, and does not have an indirect voting interest of greater than 50%. Based on these factors, the investment in NPE by the Company, the investment in NPE will be accounted for as an equity method investment under the measurement alternative available under ASC 321 with the Company recording its share of the profits and losses of NPE at each reporting period. The initial investment balance was $1,714,903 based on the initial fair value estimate of the note payable and convertible note payable issued as consideration for the investment. For the three months ended August 31, 2020, the Company recognized no equity method income or losses due and no impairment of the investment.
