(d) Convertible Loans Payable (1) In December 2016, several shareholders of the Company agreed to advance the Company $1,500,000 of convertible notes in three tranches: $500,000 upon origination of the convertible loans and $500,000 on each of January 15, 2017 and February 15, 2017. A further $500,000 was advanced in March 2017 to bring the total of these convertible loans to approximately $2,000,000. The convertible loans bore interest at 6% until the original due date of March 31, 2017 and $17,488 was accrued and expensed as interest on these loans for the year ended March 31, 2017. The convertible loans contain the following terms: convertible at the option of the holder at the price of the equity financing or payable on demand upon the completion of an equity financing greater than $5,000,000; automatically convertible at the price of the equity financing upon completion of an equity financing between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000; if no such equity financing is completed by November 15, 2017, then the loans shall become secured by a general security agreement over all assets of the Company; and, upon a change in control would either be payable on demand or convertible at the lesser of a price per share equal to that received by the parties in the change in control transaction or the market price of the shares. These conversion features were analyzed and determined to be contingent conversion features, accordingly, until the triggering event no beneficial conversion feature is recognized. On August 14, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to these convertible loans, whereby the interest was changed to a fixed rate of 12% per year from April 1, 2017 to August 14, 2017, and 3% per month from August 14, 2017 to maturity, which was extended to the earlier of March 31, 2018 or consummation of a qualified financing. The conversion feature was modified to contain the following terms: upon the consummation of an equity or equity-linked round of with an aggregate gross proceeds of $7,000,000, without any action on part of the Holder, the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and premium amount equal to 25% of the principal amount less the accrued and unpaid interest, will be converted into shares of new round stock based upon the lesser of (a) the lowest issuance (or conversion) price of new round stock in case there is more than one tranche of new round stock or (b) $0.25. Further, the Company issued warrants to these debt holders amounting to 20% of the aggregate principal of the convertible loans divided by the exercise price, which would be determined as the lowest of a new round stock in a qualified financing, the average volume weighted average price for the sixty trading days prior to January 31, 2018 or $0.25. The warrants have a term of five years. These amendments were treated as an extinguishment of the original debt; however, there was no gain or loss recognized and the new and amended debts were recognized as shown below. An additional $2,999,975 was received from these shareholders during the year ended March 31, 2018 for a total of $4,999,975. For the year ended March 31, 2018, an additional $1,037,067 of interest was accrued and expensed on these convertible loans.
