NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN 

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to sell and develop products, cash flow from operations, and competing market developments. The Company will need additional capital in the near future. Sources of debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms.  

 

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately ($63,000,000). During the three-months ended March 31, 2022, the Company also experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately ($775,000). The Company is in default on a $3,048,781 convertible debenture due March 27, 2022 subject to penalties, damages and interest of approximately $1,100,000 (see Notes 8 and 9). It appears these principal conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. As such, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

The Company has identified factors that mitigate the probable conditions that have raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.   

 

On May 18, 2022, we received approximately $8,779,000 of net proceeds from the sale of an underwritten public offering of 2,352,942 units (Units) at a public offering price of $4.25 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of our Common Stock, par value $0.00001, and two warrants each to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Warrants included in the Units are exercisable immediately and have an exercise price of $4.25 per share (100% of the price per Unit sold in the offering). The Warrants will not be listed for trading and will expire five years from the date of their issuance.  On May 19, 2022, the $3,048,781 principal balance of the Armistice Capital Master Fund, Ltd 18% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture in default at March 31, 2022, was paid in full satisfying all amounts due and accrued under the default, including penalty, damages and interest provisions of the loan agreement (see Note 16).

 

Management believes that the net offering proceeds of approximately $5,729,000, after the payment of the defaulted loan balance of $3,048,781, provides adequate working capital for operating activities for the next twelve months after the date the financial statements are issued.  However, convertible notes payable plus interest at 12% per annum are due 24 months from issuance.  Total principal balances of the convertible notes at March 31, 2022 are $2,005,000 and are due $1,100,000, $155,000 and $750,000 in March 2023, April 2023 and May 2023, respectively.  The notes are convertible at $9 per share of the Company’s common stock. The notes contain both voluntary and automatic conversion features. The notes may be convertible at any time, by the holders, beginning on the date of issuance. The notes automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock if the Company’s common stock closes at or above $6 per share for five (5) consecutive trading days while listed on Nasdaq.  Should the notes not automatically convert or a significant portion of the note holders voluntarily not convert the notes to our common stock, we may need additional funds beyond the money raised in the underwritten public offering.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and related variants continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, its variants and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022. 

 

Management believes the net proceeds received from the underwritten public offering and actions presently being taken to generate product and services revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, these plans are contingent upon actions to be performed by the Company and these conditions have not been met on or before March 31, 2022. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown, which could impair the Company’s ability to raise needed funds to continue as a going concern. As such, substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern was not alleviated as of March 31, 2022.
