NOTE 7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES | On January 29, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor whereby it agreed to sell an aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 of senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares of the company’s common stock. The Company received $1,800,000 of the funds from the transaction on February 5, 2015. The balance of $500,000 was received on May 14, 2015. These convertible notes were subsequently acquired by Fengate on April 28, 2017. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.71 per share, for an aggregate of up to 3,239,437 shares. The debentures originally accrued interest at 6% per annum. On September 26, 2016 the Company entered into an amendment agreement related to these convertible debentures whereby the applicable interest rate was increased from 6% to 8% and provisions added to allow the investor to transfer, sell or hypothecate the convertible notes subject to applicable securities laws. The maturity date of the notes was also extended through September 30, 2019. We considered ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that the modification was not deemed substantial. Due to the note being convertible to common shares of the Company, a beneficial conversion feature analysis was performed. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature was $647,888 which was recognized as debt discount. As of November 30, 2017, the full amount of the debt discount has been amortized. On September 26, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor, pursuant to which, in consideration for proceeds of $4,100,000, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $4,100,000. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the investor has agreed, from time to time after January 1, 2017, to make additional investments at the Company’s request of up to $5,900,000 ($10,000,000 in the aggregate) in one or more tranches of not less than one tranche during any 60 day period. The funding of any tranche under the agreement (other than the first $4,100,000 which has been funded) is subject to the mutual agreement of the parties as to the use of funds. On May 9, 2017, the Company received the second tranche of funding with proceeds of $4,400,000 and on May 16, 2018 the third tranche of $1,500,000 for a total investment by the investor of $10,000,000. The Company used the proceeds of the secured convertible note for general working capital purposes including settlement of accounts payable and repayment of mature loans. In consideration of each advance made by the investor pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company issued to the investor a convertible promissory note of equal value, maturing on September 30, 2019, and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Each note is secured in first priority against the present and after acquired assets of the Company and is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.60 per share, for an aggregate of up to 16,666,667 shares. These convertible notes were subsequently acquired by Fengate on April 28, 2017. Due to the notes being convertible to common shares of the Company, a beneficial conversion feature analysis was performed. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the notes amounted to $3,333,334 and was recognized as a debt discount. As of May 31, 2019, $2,855,377 of the debt discount was amortized to interest of which $713,018 was amortized during the current six month period compared to $546,684 for the six month period in the prior year. The unamortized discount as of May 31, 2019 is $477,957. On November 30, 2018 the Company and Fengate entered into a Securities Purchase Amendment Agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to Fengate an additional convertible promissory note (the “2018 Convertible Note”) of up to $10,000,000, subject to certain terms and conditions. Each portion of the principal amount advanced pursuant to the 2018 Convertible Note will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and will be payable monthly in arrears to Fengate. Outstanding principal and interest will continue to be secured by the general security agreement dated September 26, 2016, which forms a part of the Agreement. The holder of the note may also elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest into common shares of the Company at a 25% discount to the average closing price of the common shares during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date. The 2018 Convertible Note will mature on May 31, 2020. On November 30, 2018 the Company received the first tranche of funding with proceeds of $3,400,780. The 2 nd The Company intends to use the proceeds of the secured convertible note for general working capital purposes including, without limitation, product development, inventory, and marketing and selling expenses. The Company analysed the embedded conversion option on the convertible notes for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option on the 2018 Convertible Note qualified for derivative accounting. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to value the embedded conversion option at $892,000 on the issuance date of November 30, 2018 and $1,911,246 on the issuance date of April 13, 2019. The assumptions used were a discount rate of 2.80% and 1.96%, volatility rate of 79.57% and 104.7% and a term of 1.50 and 1.13 years respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to re-value the embedded conversion options issued on November 30, 2018 at $2,353,634 and the one on April 13, 2019 at $1,940,740 as of May 31, 2019. The change of $1,491,118 was recorded as a derivative loss. The assumptions used were a discount rate of 1.96%, volatility of 111.98% and a term of 1.00 year. The fair value of the embedded conversion options were recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the 2018 and 2019 Convertible Notes. The amortization recognized in the current period was $523,610. The unamortized amount as of May 31, 2019 is $2,279,645. |
