NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020
| 1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the December 31, 2020.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company obtained funds from the issuance of convertible note agreements. Management believes this funding will continue from its’ current investors and from new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders, and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, whereby revenue will be recognized as performance obligations are satisfied and customers obtain control of goods or services. However, in the event of a loss on a sale is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined. To date, the Company has not had significant revenues and is in the development stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial
statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements, include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, derivative liabilities and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated using straight line over its estimated useful lives:
| Computer equipment | 5 Years | |||
| Machinery and equipment | 10 Years |
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,091 and $1,091, respectively.
Intangible Assets
The Company has patent applications to protect the inventions and processes behind its proprietary bio-based back-sheet, a protective covering for the back of photovoltaic solar modules traditionally made from petroleum-based film. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
| Useful Lives | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||||||
| Patents | $ | 45,336 | $ | 45,336 | ||||||||
| Less accumulated amortization | 15 years | (15,868 | ) | (15,112 | ) | |||||||
| $ | 29,468 | $ | 30,224 | |||||||||
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 was $756 and $1,511, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. All grants under our stock-based compensation programs are accounted for at fair value and that cost is recognized over the period during which an employee, consultant, or director are required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Compensation expense for options granted to employees and non-employees is determined in accordance with the standard as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. Compensation expense for awards granted is re-measured each period.
On March 24, 2015 and September 2, 2015, the Company granted 12,000,000 stock options to its’ employee and 3,950,000 stock options to the board of directors for services.
On February 18, 2021, the Company granted 425,000,000 stock options to its employees for services at an exercise price of $0.091. The options expire, and all rights to purchase the shares shall terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or termination of employment. Half of the 400,000,000 options vest immediately, and the remaining half o the option to purchase 200,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock shall become exercisable in equal amounts over a twenty-four (24) month period during the term of the optionee’s employment, with the first installment of 8,333,333 shares vesting on March 18, 2021. The 50,000,000 options shall become exercisable in equal amounts over a thirty-six (36) month period during the term of the optionees employment, with the first installment of 1,388,889 shares vesting on March 18, 2021.

| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility. The Company
used Black Scholes to value its stock option awards which incorporated the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. The stock options terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment. As of March 31, 2021, 440,950,000 stock options were outstanding.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company granted no warrants and had no warrants outstanding.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $ 219,026 and $43,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations
Net earnings (Loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the effect of stock options and stock-based awards (Note 4), plus the assumed conversion of convertible debt (Note 5).
The Company has included shares issuable from convertible debt of $107,000 and 440,950,000 stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2021, because their impact on the income per share is dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, and the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. The Company has excluded 15,950,000 stock options, and the shares issuable from convertible debt of $2,871,102, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

| Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator) | 519,644,564 | 145,334,913 | ||||||
| Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator) | 990,606,274 | 145,334,913 | ||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2021, the amounts reported for cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
| Total | (Level 1) | (Level 2) | (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
| Assets: | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - | ||||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
| Derivative Liability at fair value as of March 31, 2021 | $ | 323,688 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 323,688 | ||||||||
The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:
| Balance as of January 31, 2021 | $ | 148,590,100 | ||
| Fair value of derivative liabilities issued | 180,004 | |||
| Gain on settlement of derivatives | (178,736,187 | ) | ||
| Loss on change in derivative liability | 30,289,771 | |||
| Balance as of March 31, 2021 | $ | 323,688 |
Accounting for Derivatives
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice formula pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically per the stock price fluctuations.
| 6. | DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES |
We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory note was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable, so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically per the stock price fluctuations.
The convertible notes issued and described in Note 5 do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion feature has been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
During the March 31, 2021, as a result of the convertible notes (“Notes”) issued that were accounted for as derivative liabilities, we determined that the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes at issuance was $180,004, based upon a Binomial-Model calculation. We recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.
During the March 31, 2021, the Company converted $184,124 in principal of convertible notes, plus accrued interest of $20,851, and other fees of $1,000. The convertible notes were valued using the binomial lattice valuation model showing an increase in fair value of the derivatives issued by $638,936 and the loss on the change in derivatives by $30,289,771. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liability was $323,689.
For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion, the Company used the Binomial lattice valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice valuation model for the derivative are as follows:
| 3/31/2021 | ||||
| Risk free interest rate | 0.05 | % | ||
| Stock volatility factor | 267.0% -270.0 | % | ||
| Weighted average expected option life | 1 year - 5 years | |||
| Expected dividend yield | None | |||
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, or timeliness of such results. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report. Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting in our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2020, and in other reports filed by us with the SEC.
You should read the following description of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.
Overview
We are a developer of clean energy technologies. Our current focus is on developing an electrolyzer technology to lower the cost of Green Hydrogen production. As of April 30, 2021, we changed our name from BioSolar, Inc. to NewHydrogen, Inc.
Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant fuel in the universe. It is zero-emission and only produces water vapor when used. However, hydrogen does not exist in its pure form on Earth so it must be extracted. For centuries, scientists have known how to electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using a device called an electrolyzer. Electrolyzers installed behind a solar farm or wind farm can use renewable electricity to split water, thereby producing Green Hydrogen. However, modern electrolyzers still cost too much. The chemical catalysts that enable the water-splitting reactions are currently made from platinum and iridium – both are very expensive precious metals. These catalysts account for nearly 50% of the cost of the electrolyzer.
We are developing technologies to significantly reduce or replace rare earth materials with inexpensive earth abundant materials in electrolyzers to help usher in a Green Hydrogen economy.
We are also developing innovative technologies to increase the storage capacity, lower the cost and extend the life of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles or EV. We have previously developed an innovative material technology to reduce the cost per watt of electricity produced by Photovoltaic, or PV, solar modules. We are currently working on a silicon anode material technology intended to reduce the cost of current and future generation of lithium-ion batteries for EVs.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using a Binomial lattice valuation model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
| 17 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements, include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, derivative liabilities and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our cash, cash equivalents, investments, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements.
Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020.
OPERATING EXPENSES
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $14,679,652 to $14,798,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $118,819 for the prior period ended March 31, 2020. This increase in G&A expenses was the result of an increase in professional fees in the amount of $268,871, an increase in the fair value of non-cash stock option expense in the amount of $14,362,426, and an increase in salaries of $41,521, and an overall increase of $6,834.
Research and Development
Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by $175,406 to $219,026 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $60,471 for the prior period ended March 31, 2020. This overall increase in R&D expenses was the result of an increase in outside research fees.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,091 and $1091, respectively.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other income and (expenses) increased by $(72,730,933) to $65,828,951for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $(6,901,982) for the prior period ended March 31, 2020. The increase in other income and (expenses) was the result of an increase in non-cash loss on change in fair value of the derivative instruments of $23,613,095, an increase in gain on extinguishment of convertible debt for equity of $96,666,293, an increase in interest expense of $322,625, which includes non-cash expense of amortization of debt discount in the amount of $435,762, and interest income of $360. The increase in other income and (expenses) was primarily due to the net change in the fair value of the derivative instruments.
| 18 |
Net Income (Loss)
Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $50,810,363, compared to a net loss of $(7,065,512) for the prior period ended March 31, 2020. The increase in net lincome was due to an increase in non-cash other income (expenses) associated with the net change in derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on management projections. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material. The Company has not generated any revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not generate any revenues, and incurred net income of $50,810,363, due to an overall change in non-cash derivative liability, and used cash of $587,294 in operations. As of March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $3,543,127 and a shareholders’ equity of $3,578,231. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we obtained funding through the sale of unregistered common shares and our convertible debt. Management believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due and will allow the development of our core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.
As of March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $3,543,127 compared to a working capital deficit of $150,532,859 for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in working capital of $154,075,986 was due primarily to an increase in cash, and prepaid expenses, and with a decrease in accrued expenses, convertible debt and derivative liability associated with our outstanding notes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used $587,294 of cash for operating activities, as compared to $152,626 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities for the current period was a result of a decrease in accounts payable.
| 19 |
Cash provided from equity financing activities was $5,192,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $159,500 for the prior period ended March 31, 2020. The increase was due to equity financing during the current period. Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of the sale of our securities, as we currently have not generated any revenues.
Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements as of March 31, 2021 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue, which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS
We are engaged in the development of innovative technologies to significantly reduce or replace catalysts made from rare earth materials with catalysts made from inexpensive earth abundant materials in electrolyzers to lower the cost of producing Green Hydrogen. We are currently also working on a silicon anode material technology intended to reduce the cost of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
Our plan of operation within the next three months is to utilize our cash balances to work on developing catalyst technologies for producing Green Hydrogen and a new EV silicon oxide battery material processing technology. We believe that our current cash and investment balances will be sufficient to support development activity and general and administrative expenses for the next twenty four months. Management estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2023, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We do not expect increased expenses during the second quarter of 2021. We will be investigating additional financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next twenty four months, we may be forced to reduce the size of our organization, which could have a material adverse impact on, or cause us to curtail and/or cease the development of our products
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any off- balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, as that term is defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of March 31, 2021, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our third fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 20 |
As of the date of this report, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Registrant’s Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2021.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 83,333,334 shares of common stock for cash through a securities purchase agreement.
During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 21,964,188 shares of common stock upon conversion of $184,124 in principal, plus accrued interest of $20,851, and other fees of $1,000, with prices ranging from $0.0014 to $0.0265.
During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company used cash to settle a convertible debt in principal of $203,000, plus accrued interest of $52,780.
The securities above were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section4(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering of the securities.
