CYTODYN INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation (its previous name) and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. Leronlimab is in a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies designed to address unmet medical needs in the areas of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”), Cancer, and Immunology.

With respect to HIV, the CCR5 receptor appears to play a key role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells. The Company’s lead product candidate, leronlimab, belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors. These therapies block HIV from entering into and infecting certain cells.

With respect to Cancer and Immunology, the CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in human metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as triple-negative breast cancer, other metastatic solid tumor cancers, graft-vs-host disease (“GvHD”), and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (“NASH”).

More recently, the Company is expanding the clinical focus with leronlimab to include evaluating its effectiveness in multiple other autoimmune indications where CCR antagonism has shown initial promise, as well as the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). The Company targets leronlimab treatment as a therapy for patients who experience respiratory complications as a result of contracting COVID-19. The Company believes that leronlimab provides therapeutic benefit by enhancing the immune response while mitigating the “cytokine storm” that leads to morbidity and mortality in patients experiencing this syndrome.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as prescribed by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2019. Operating results for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, (b) the financial position at February 29, 2020 and (c) cash flows for the nine month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CytoDyn Operations Inc., Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc. (“AGTI”) and CytoDyn Veterinary Medicine LLC (“CVM”), of which both AGTI and CVM are dormant entities. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total stockholders’ (deficit) equity, net loss, or loss per share.

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of $66,792,196 for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $296,683,031 as of February 29, 2020. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

11

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidate, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, outsource manufacturing of the product candidate, and achieve initial revenues and attain profitability. The Company is currently engaging in significant research and development (“R&D”) activities related to its product candidate for multiple indications, and expects to incur significant R&D expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These R&D activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional and non-traditional sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019 approximated $7.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. The value of the Company’s patents, as discussed in Notes 8 and 10, would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired.

Research and Development

R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs incurred through third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under R&D collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable.

Inventories

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventories currently consist solely of specialized raw materials to be used for commercial production of the Company’s biologic, leronlimab, which is awaiting regulatory approval. Inventory purchased in preparation for product launches is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, in light of the status of the product within the regulatory approval process.

The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that has become obsolete, or has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value to pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on independent analysis provided by a third party knowledgeable of the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product.

12

Inventories Procured or Produced in Preparation for Product Launches

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand. Typically, capitalization of such inventory begins when the results of clinical trials have reached a status sufficient to support regulatory approval, uncertainties regarding ultimate regulatory approval have been significantly reduced and the Company has determined it is probable that these capitalized costs will provide some future economic benefit in excess of capitalized costs. The material factors considered by the Company in evaluating these uncertainties include the receipt and analysis of positive Phase III clinical trial results for the underlying product candidate, results from meetings with the relevant regulatory authorities prior to the filing of regulatory applications, and the compilation of the regulatory application. The Company closely monitors the status of the product within the regulatory review and approval process, including all relevant communication with regulatory authorities. If the Company is aware of any specific material risks or contingencies other than the normal regulatory review and approval process or if there are any specific issues identified relating to safety, efficacy, manufacturing, marketing or labeling, the related inventory may no longer qualify for capitalization.

For inventories capitalized in preparation for product launch, anticipated future sales, shelf lives, and expected approval date are taken into account when evaluating realizability. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory, the Company considers the product stability data of all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to date to determine whether it has an adequate shelf life.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that the Company was unable to corroborate with observable market data.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019 is as follows:

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurements. These instruments are not quoted on an active market. The Company uses a Binomial Lattice Model to estimate the value of the warrant derivative liability and a Monte Carlo Simulation to value the derivative liability of the redemption provision within a convertible promissory note. These valuation models were used because management believes they reflect all the assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the instruments. The Company’s derivative liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because certain unobservable inputs were used in the valuation models.

13

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the nine months ended February 29, 2020, and the year ended May 31, 2019:

Operating Leases

Effective June 1, 2019, the Company now determines whether an arrangement is considered a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms do not include options to extend or terminate the lease as it is not reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

Stock-Based Compensation

U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period) or when designated milestones have been achieved.

The Company accounts for stock-based awards established by the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates, as of the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock-based award. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock on monthly intervals. The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method,” as the Company issuances are considered “plain vanilla” options. For stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period or when designated milestones have been achieved. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented. Periodically, the Company will issue restricted common stock to third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such stock awards are valued at fair market value on the effective date of the Company’s obligation.

Common Stock

On November 8, 2018, at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 450,000,000 to 600,000,000. Subsequently, on May 22, 2019, at a special meeting of stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 600,000,000 to 700,000,000.

14

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock without stockholder approval. As of February 29, 2020, the Company had 400,000 shares authorized and 92,100 shares outstanding of Series B convertible preferred stock, 8,203 shares authorized and outstanding of Series C convertible preferred stock, and 11,737 shares authorized and 7,570 shares outstanding of Series D convertible preferred stock. The remaining preferred shares authorized have no specified rights.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the par value method, whereby the cost of the acquired stock is recorded at par value. As of February 29, 2020, the Company had purchased 286,008 shares of $0.001 par value treasury stock.

Debt Discount

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $4.2 million of debt discount related to the issuance of convertible notes, as described in Note 5. The discount is amortized over the life of the convertible promissory notes. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $1.5 million and $0.7 million of related amortization, respectively.

Debt Issuance Cost

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, the Company incurred direct costs associated with the issuance of convertible notes, as described in Note 5, and recorded approximately $1.0 million of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, the Company recognized related amortization of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Offering Costs

During the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, the Company incurred direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities and conversion of debt, as described in Notes 11, 12, and 14. The costs were approximately $2.3 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and year ended May 31, 2019, respectively. The offering costs were recorded as a component of equity upon receipt of proceeds.

Stock for Services

The Company periodically issues warrants or stock to consultants for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, as described more fully above, is utilized to measure the fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. For this reason the following potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019: common stock options and warrants to purchase common stock of 173,185,971 and 175,043,638, respectively; short-term convertible notes including accrued interest that could convert into 8,108,305 and 10,658,690 common shares, respectively; shares of Series D, Series C, and Series B convertible preferred stock, including undeclared dividends, that can potentially convert in the aggregate into 28,386,571, and 921,000 common shares, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

15

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits for all periods presented. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

In accordance with Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company utilized a federal statutory rate of 21% and 28.62% for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. The net tax expense for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 is zero and a benefit of $2.8 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2019. The Company has a full valuation allowance as of February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, as management does not consider it more than likely than not that the benefits from the deferred taxes will be realized.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued “ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The objective of the standard is to improve areas of GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC 740 and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The standard will become effective for us beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine the potential impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

Note 4 – Inventories

The Company’s inventory as of February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019 was $15,895,589 and $0, respectively. Inventory as of February 29, 2020 consisted solely of specialized raw material purchased for use in the commercial manufacturing of pre-launch inventories of Vyrologix to support the Company’s expected approval of the product as a combination therapy for HIV patients in the United States. The Company believes that all material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval of Vyrologix for commercial sale have been significantly reduced based on positive data from Phase III clinical trial results, information gathered from pre-filing meetings with the Food and Drug Administration for the Biologics License Application (“BLA”), and the Company’s anticipated filing of the BLA with the FDA targeted for the end of April 2020.

As of the date of this filing the Company does not have any evidence that regulatory approval will be denied. However, the BLA for HIV combination therapy has not been filed.

Note 5 – Convertible Instruments

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

On January 28, 2020, the Company authorized 11,737 shares and on January 31, 2020 issued 7,570 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”), at $1,000.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $7,565,355, net of offering costs of $4,645. As of February 29, 2020, 7,570 shares remaining outstanding. The certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate of Designation”) provides, among other things, that holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of ten percent (10%) per share per annum of the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock, to be paid, at the option of the holder, in cash or shares of common stock at the rate of $0.50 per share. Any dividends paid by the Company will first be paid to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock prior and in preference to any payment or distribution to holders of common stock. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall be cumulative and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock does not have redemption rights. The stated value per share for the Series D Preferred Stock is $1,000.00 (the “Series D Stated Value”). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled, on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and in preference to any payment or distribution to any holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Series D Stated Value and the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock will then receive distributions along with the holders of common stock on a pari passu basis according to the number of shares of common stock the Series D Preferred holders would be entitled if they converted their shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time of such distribution. If, at any time while the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company effects any reorganization, merger or sale of the Company or substantially all of its assets (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), a holder of the Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable

16

upon conversion in full of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock determined by dividing the Series D Stated Value by the conversion price of $0.80 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock). No fractional shares will be issued upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided in the Series D Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law, the Series D Preferred Stock has no voting rights. As of February 29, 2020, the accrued dividends were approximately $62,219, or 124,440 shares of common stock.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 20, 2019, the Company authorized 5,000 shares and issued 3,246 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), at $1,000.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $3,083,700, net of placement agent fees of $162,300. On August 29, 2019, the Company issued the remaining 1,754 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at $1,000.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $1,542,545, net of placement agent fees and legal fees totaling $211,455. On October 11, 2019, the Company authorized an increase from 5,000 shares to 20,000 shares. Between October 21, 2019 and November 8, 2019, the Company issued 2,788 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. On December 6, 2020 the Company issued 415 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 28, 2020, the Company authorized a decrease from 20,000 shares to 8,203 shares, all of which remain outstanding as of February 29, 2020. The Series C Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”) provides, among other things, that holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of any assets at the time legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate of ten percent (10%) per share per annum of the stated value of the Series C Preferred Stock, to be paid per share of Series C Preferred Stock, which dividends shall accrue whether or not declared. Any dividends paid by the Company will first be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock prior and in preference to any payment or distribution to holders of common stock. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are mandatory and cumulative and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock does not have redemption rights. The stated value per share for the Series C Preferred Stock is $1,000.00 (the “Series C Stated Value”). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series C Preferred Stock will be paid, on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and prior and in preference to any payment or distribution on any shares of common stock, currently outstanding series of preferred stock, or subsequent series of preferred stock, an amount per share equal to the Series C Stated Value and the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will then receive distributions along with the holders of common stock on a pari passu basis according to the number of shares of common stock the Series C Preferred holders would be entitled if they converted their shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the time of such distribution. If, at any time while the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company effects any Fundamental Transaction, a holder of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion in full of the Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the Series C Stated Value by the conversion price of $0.50 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation). No fractional shares will be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided in the Series C Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights. As of February 29, 2020, the accrued dividends were approximately $502,563, or 1,005,239 shares of common stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

During fiscal 2010, the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) at $5.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $2,009,000, of which 92,100 shares remain outstanding at February 29, 2020. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock, including any accrued dividends, with an effective fixed conversion price of $0.50 per share. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock can only convert their shares to shares of common stock provided the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock at the time of conversion. Accordingly, the conversion option was contingent upon the Company increasing its authorized common shares, which occurred in April 2010, when the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000. At the commitment date, which occurred upon such stockholder approval, the conversion option related to the Series B Preferred Stock was beneficial. The intrinsic value of the conversion option at the commitment date resulted in a constructive dividend to the Series B Preferred Stock holders of approximately $6,000,000. The constructive dividend increased and decreased additional paid-in capital by identical amounts. The Series B Preferred Stock has liquidation preferences over the common shares at $5.00 per share plus any accrued dividends. Dividends are payable to the Series B Preferred Stock holders when declared by the Board of Directors at the rate of $0.25 per share per annum. Such dividends are cumulative and accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Company legally available. Except as provided by law, the Series B holders have no voting rights. As of February 29, 2020, and May 31, 2019, the undeclared dividends were approximately $239,000 or 467,000, shares of common stock, and approximately $216,000, or 432,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

2019 Short-term Convertible Notes

During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company issued approximately $5.5 million of nine-month unsecured Convertible Notes (the “2019 Short-term Convertible Notes”) and related warrants to investors for cash. Beginning on September 30, 2019 and through November 14, 2019, principal and interest totaling approximately $5.9 million came due. Holders of notes totaling approximately $1.1 million in principal and accrued interest agreed to extend their notes for another three months, and holders of notes totaling approximately $4.1 million in principal and accrued interest agreed to extend their notes for another six months. One note-holder with principal and accrued interest totaling approximately $0.2 million converted to shares of common stock of the Company.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2019, a total of approximately $0.7 million of principal and accrued interest was repaid in cash. In addition, detachable stock warrants to purchase a total of 4,750,000 warrants with a five-year term and an exercise price of $0.30 per share were issued to investors who extended their notes. One investor received 200,000 warrants with a five-year term and an exercise price of $0.45 per share for converting the entire principal and accrued interest on its note. In connection with the note extensions and conversion, the Company recorded a non-cash inducement interest expense of approximately $0.3 million during the quarter ended November 30, 2019. The new principal amount of the 2019 Short-term Convertible Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is convertible at the election of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The 2019 Short-term Convertible Notes bear simple interest at the annual rate of 10%. Principal and accrued interest, to the extent not previously paid or converted, is due and payable on the maturity date. At the new commitment dates, the Company determined that there was a decrease in the fair value of the embedded conversion option resulting from the modification, the value of which is not required to be recognized under U.S. GAAP.

On December 31, 2019, the holder of a 2019 Short-term Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $549,912, including accrued but unpaid interest, tendered a notice of conversion at the stated conversion rate of $0.50 per share. The Company issued 1,099,823 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the conversion notice.

On January 31, 2020, the holder of a 2019 Short-term Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $512,063, including accrued but unpaid interest, tendered a notice of conversion at the stated conversion rate of $0.50 per share. The Company issued 1,025,205 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the conversion notice.

The Company recognized approximately $380,000 and $75,000 of interest expense during the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively.

Long-term Convertible Notes—June 2018 Note

On June 26, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “June 2018 Note”) with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor in the initial principal amount of $5.7 million. The investor gave consideration of $5.0 million to the Company. The June 2018 Note bears interest of 10% and is convertible into common stock, at $0.55 per share. The June 2018 Note is convertible in total, or in part, of the outstanding balance, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the June 2018 Note. The investor may redeem any portion of the June 2018 Note, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $350,000. The securities purchase agreement requires the Company to reserve shares for future conversions or redemptions by dividing the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest by the conversion price of $0.55 per share times 1.5. As a result of the entry into the January 2019 Note (as defined below), the Company’s obligations under the June 2018 Note are now secured by all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Effective November 15, 2018, the June 2018 Note was amended to allow the investor to redeem the monthly redemption amount of $350,000 in cash or stock, at the lesser of (i) $0.55, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion, multiplied by a conversion factor of 85%. The variable rate redemption provision meets the definition of a derivative instrument and subsequent to the amendment, it no longer meets the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. As of November 15, 2018, the redemption provision requires bifurcation as a derivative liability at fair value under the guidance in FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”

The amendment of the June 2018 Note was also evaluated under FASB ASC 470-50-40 “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.” Based on the guidance, the instruments were determined to be substantially different, and debt extinguishment accounting was applied. The Company recorded approximately $1.5 million as an extinguishment loss, which was the difference in the net carrying value of the June 2018 Note prior to the amendment of approximately $5.4 million, and the fair value of the June 2018 Note and embedded derivatives after the amendment of approximately $6.9 million. The extinguishment loss includes a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the debt discount associated with the original the June 2018 Note.

During the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $450,000 and $440,000 of interest expense related to the June 2018 Note, respectively. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, the Company received redemption notices from the holder of the Company’s June 2018 Note, requesting an aggregate redemption of $5,000,000 settling the remaining outstanding balance in full, including accrued but unpaid interest. In satisfaction of the redemption notices, the Company issued shares of common stock totaling 9,462,547 and paid cash totaling $875,000 to the June 2018 Note holder in accordance with the terms of the June 2018 Note. Following the redemptions, the June 2018 Note has been fully satisfied and there is no outstanding balance.

Long-term Convertible Notes—January 2019 Note

On January 30, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “January 2019 Note”) with a two-year term to the holder of the June 2018 Note in the initial principal amount of $5.7 million. In connection with the issuance of the January 2019 Note, the Company granted a lien against all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property, to secure all obligations owed to the investor by the Company (including those under both the January 2019 Note and the June 2018 Note). The investor gave consideration of $5.0 million to the Company, reflecting original issue discount of $0.6 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The January 2019 Note bears interest of 10% and is convertible into common stock, at $0.50 per share. The January 2019 Note is convertible in total, or in part, of the outstanding balance, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the Note. The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting treatment under ASC 815 and determined that the embedded conversion option did not qualify for derivative accounting.

The investor may redeem any portion of the January 2019 Note, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $350,000. The monthly redemption amount may be paid in cash or stock, at the Company’s election, at the lesser of (i) $0.50, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion, multiplied by a conversion factor of 85%. The redemption provision meets the definition of a derivative instrument and does not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. Therefore, the redemption provision requires bifurcation as a derivative liability at fair value under the guidance in ASC 815. The securities purchase agreement requires the Company to reserve 20,000,000 shares for future conversions or redemptions. In conjunction with the January 2019 Note, the investor received a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.30 which is exercisable until the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The warrant achieved equity classification at inception. The net proceeds of $5.0 million were allocated first to the redemption provision at its fair value, then to the warrants at their relative fair value and the beneficial conversion feature at its intrinsic value as follows:

Under the guidance of ASC 815, after allocation of proceeds to the redemption provision, relative fair value of equity classified warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, there were no proceeds remaining to allocate to convertible note payable. Therefore, principal, accrued interest, debt discount and offering costs will be recognized as interest expense, which represents the accretion of the convertible note payable and related debt discount and issuance costs. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $6,170,000 and $69,000, respectively, of interest expense related to the January 2019 Note. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, the Company received redemption notices from the holder of the Company’s January 2019 Note, requesting an aggregate redemption of approximately $6,271,000 settling the remaining outstanding balance in full, including accrued interest. In satisfaction of the redemption notices, the Company issued shares of common stock totaling 10,842,255 and paid cash totaling $850,000 to the January 2019 Note holder in accordance with the terms of the January 2019 Note. Following the redemptions, the January 2019 Note has been fully satisfied and there is no outstanding balance.

Note 6 – Derivative Liabilities

The investor and placement agent warrants issued in connection with a registered direct offering in September 2016 contained a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer or share exchange, whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding common stock). If a fundamental transaction occurs in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a successor entity, then the warrant holder has the option to receive cash equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant. Due to this contingent cash settlement provision, the investor and placement agent warrants require liability classification as derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815 and are recorded at fair value.

The following tables summarize the fair value of the warrant derivative liability and related common shares as of inception date September 15, 2016, prior year end date May 31, 2019 and currenting reporting date February 29, 2020:

The Company recognized approximately $4,110,000 of non-cash loss and $530,000 of non-cash gain, due to the changes in the fair value of the liability associated with such classified warrants during the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively.

FAS ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Fair values for the warrants were determined using a Binomial Lattice valuation model.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant derivative liability as of inception date September 15, 2016, May 31, 2019 and February 29, 2020, using the following assumptions:

Due to the fundamental transaction provision contained in the warrants, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered subjective assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provision. The fair value of the warrants will be significantly influenced by the fair value of the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, changes in interest rates and management’s assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provisions.

As described above in Note 5 above, the redemption provision embedded in the June 2018 and January 2019 Notes required bifurcation and measurement at fair value as a derivative. The fair value of the Note redemption provision derivative liabilities was calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation which uses randomly generated stock-price paths obtained through a Geometric Brownian Motion stock price simulation. The fair value of the redemption provision will be significantly influenced by the fair value of the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, changes in interest rates and management’s assumptions related to the redemption factor. The Company estimated the fair value of the redemptive provision using the following assumptions on the closing date of November 15, 2018, January 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019:
