Stockholders’ Equity | Note 7 - Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 On January 1, 2021, members of the Company’s management subscribed for 110,000 1,100,000 10.00 179,277 The Series C-2 is not mandatorily redeemable and is not unconditionally redeemable. The Series C-2 is callable by the Company. The Certificate of Designation required that the Company, within 180 days of the Initial Issuance Date, call a special meeting of stockholders seeking shareholder ratification of the issuance of the Series C-2. If the ratification of the issuance was not approved prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the “Vote Deadline”), the Series C-2 would be redeemed at a price equal to 107 Based on the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99 (“ASR 268”), a redeemable equity instrument is not to be included in permanent equity. Rather, it should be reported between long-term debt and stockholders’ equity, without a subtotal that might imply it is a part of stockholders’ equity (i.e., “temporary equity” or “mezzanine capital”). ASR 268 specifies that redeemable stock is any type of equity security, including common or preferred stock, when it has any condition for redemption which is not solely within the control of the issuer without regard to probability. The Series C-2 Certificate of Designation required the Company to redeem the Series C-2 if stockholder approval was not received by the Vote Deadline. Stockholder approval was not considered to be “solely within the Company’s control.” Stockholder approval occurred on March 31, 2021, at which time the Series C-2 was no longer callable by the Company. As such, the Series C-2 was initially classified in temporary equity under ASR 268 and was reclassified to permanent equity upon stockholder approval on March 31, 2021. The holders of Series C-2 shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on each share of Series C-2 on an “as-converted basis” into common stock when and if dividends are declared on the common stock by the Board of Directors. Dividends shall be paid in cash or property, as determined by the Board of Directors. At any time or times on or after the two-year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Series C-2 held by such Holder into validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common at the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Amount is subject to adjustment for certain capitalization and Anti-Dilution Events. The Series C-2 will automatically be converted at the earlier of: (i) the four-year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, and (ii) simultaneously with the Company’s common stock being listed on a national securities exchange. The Conversion Rate is based upon the Conversion Price of $ 1.70 129,412 45,541 The Conversion Amount may be adjusted due to certain Anti-Dilution Events. If at any time after the Initial Issuance Date, the Company raises capital equal to or in excess of $5 million by issuing common stock or Common Stock Equivalents then the Anti-Dilution Amount per share of Series C-2 shall be the product of: (i) 0.0000004, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all capital raised by the Company after the Initial Issuance Date (the “Capital Raised”). Provided; further, for the determination of the Anti-Dilution Amount, the amount of Capital Raised shall be limited to $13 million, regardless of how much capital the Company raises. In the event capital is raised simultaneous with a listing on a national securities exchange and the automatic conversion of the Series C-2 then such funds shall be included in the Capital Raised for the purpose of determining the Anti-Dilution Amount. As of September 30, 2021, over $13 million of capital was raised and the adjustment to the Conversion Amount was fully triggered. The Company recognized the effect of the down-round protection when capital raises occur as the difference between: (1) the financial instrument’s fair value (without the down round feature) using the pre-trigger exercise price, and (2) the financial instrument’s fair value (without the down round feature) using the reduced exercise price. The value of the effect of the down round feature of $5,020,883 was treated as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in the basic EPS calculation. 4,011,766 Common Stock Reverse Stock Split On August 25, 2021, the Company issued 14,477 1-for-10 Reverse Split Issuance of Shares Pursuant to Equity Line of Credit Purchase Agreement On January 28, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 seeking to register 400,000 During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued approximately 321,740 17,590 3,014,005 1,000 3,015,005 9.37 Issuance of Shares Pursuant to Registered Direct Offering On March 4, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “RD Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company sold and issued, in a registered direct offering, 950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of $ 10.00 and immediately exercisable five-year warrants to purchase 712,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share.
