Standstill and Forbearance Agreements

 

The Company has entered into Standstill and Forbearance Agreements with lenders who hold variable-rate convertible notes with a total principal as of December 31, 2022 of $574,984. Pursuant to the Standstill and Forbearance Agreements, the lenders agreed to not convert any portion of their notes into shares of common stock at a variable rate until March 31, 2021 for convertible notes with a principal balance of $469,000 and until April 16, 2021 for convertible notes with a principal balance of $1.1 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company settled three lenders (five notes) with a total principal of $827,500 and incurred interest, penalties, and fees of approximately $1.47 million in connection with the Standstill and forbearance agreements.

 

Convertible Loan Modifications and Extinguishments

 

We refinanced certain convertible loans during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 at substantially the same terms for extensions ranging over a period of three to six months. We amortized any remaining unamortized debt discount as of the modification date over the remaining, extended term of the new loans. We applied ASC 470 of modification accounting to the debt instruments which were modified during the period or those settled with new notes issued concurrently for the same amounts but different maturity dates. The terms such as the interest rate, prepayment penalties, and default rates will be the same over the new extensions. According to ASC 470, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different and will be accounted for as modifications.

 

The cash flows of new debt exceeded 10% of the remaining cash flows of the original debt on several loans in 2022 and 2021. We recorded losses on extinguishment of liabilities of $751,335 in 2022 and $1,061,073 in 2021. Our gains and losses were measured by calculating the difference of the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the old debt.

 

Other Debt

 

On October 11, 2019 we received a non-convertible loan with a one month term and a 2% interest charge for $25,000 from a private investor. In the year ended December 31,2021 the Company issued 17 shares of Series AA preferred stock and 17,000 warrants to acquire common stock (five year term and $3.50 exercise price) to the investor to settle principal and interest on this loan.

 

No notes in Other Debt are past due as of December 31, 2022.

Notes:

 

(1) Interest varies from 1% to 10%. The maturity is between being past due and May 2, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, $861,500 of the non-convertible debt is past due.
(2) The Company entered into a COVID-19 government loan in 2020, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (or “EIDL”). The Company’s EIDL loan, $150,000, accrues interest at 3.75% and requires monthly payments of $731 for principal and interest beginning in December 2022. The balance of the principal will be due in 30 years. In connection with the EIDL loan the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA, whereby the Company granted the SBA a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the Company’s assets. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $367,039 (two-year term and 1% interest rate per annum) under Payroll Protection program (or “2020 PPP”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $367,039 through a second Payroll Protection program (or “2021 PPP”) and extended the monthly payment date on the EIDL to December 2022. In year 2021, both 2020 PPP and 2021 PPP was forgiven by the United States and SBA.
  (3)

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 we signed various Merchant Agreements which are secured by second position rights to all customer receipts until the loan has been repaid in full and subject to interest rates of 4.1% - 14% per month. Under the terms of these agreements, we received the disclosed Purchase Price and agreed to repay the disclosed Purchase Amount, which is collected by the Merchant lenders at the Daily Payment Rate. We accounted for the Merchant Agreements as loans under ASC 860 because while we provided rights to current and future receipts, we still had control over the receipts. The difference between the Purchase Amount and the Purchase Price is imputed interest that is recorded as interest expense when paid each day. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer guarantees the Company’s performance of all representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company in the Agreement. For loans outstanding on December 31, 2022, the maturity dates ranged from April 4, 2023 to June 6, 2023. For loan outstanding on December 31, 2021, the maturity dates ranged from January 7 to January 11, 2022.
