In 2019, the Company borrowed $ 70,000 under convertible promissory notes agreement from an unrelated party that are due upon demand. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a variable conversion price based on a 50% discount of the market price at an undetermined future date. The Company analyzed the conversion features of the note agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASU 2017-11 (ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging), and determined the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of the convertible note is subject to a variable conversion rate and should therefore be accounted for at fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.  

The embedded derivative for the notes were carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. The derivative liability is marked to market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the statement of operations and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change. The Company fair values the embedded derivatives using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 180%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.13%, and (3) expected life from 1 month to 1 year. On March 1, 2019, the date of the first note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $28,000. On May 3, 2019, the date of the second note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $28,100. On October 26, 2019, the date of the third note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $8,700. The notes carried an embedded conversion feature of $64,800 that was fully amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2019. The notes were not converted and deemed paid in full at the closing of the Transaction on June 5, 2020. The principal amounts of these notes were settled and transferred to the APA Note and a loss on debt extinguishment of $273,462 was recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The fair value of the embedded derivative recorded on the balance sheet as a liability was none and $60,650 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Utilizing level 3 inputs, the Company recorded a fair market value gain of $60,650 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and a gain of $3,400 during same period ended September 30, 2019.
