NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is an agricultural biotechnology company focused on commercializing technology derived from and designed for spaceflight with significant applications on Earth. These technologies are focused on improving world agriculture by providing valuable solutions to challenges facing humanity including threats to world agriculture and the ability to feed the world’s rapidly growing population.
The Company owns proprietary technology for its initial commercial product, BAM-FX® that can boost the nutritional value and enhance the immune system of food crops without the use of genetic modification. The Company’s focus is the commercialization of BAM-FX® in both domestic and international markets. The Company’s headquarters are located in Boca Raton, Florida.
The Company operates through two subsidiaries: BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc. a Florida corporation (“BAM”), which was formed in 2014, and Specialty Agricultural Solutions, Inc. (“SASI”), which was formed in 2018 and began operations in 2019. The Company owns 98% of SASI.
Another subsidiary of the Company, Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc., a Florida corporation (“ZGLS”), was formed by the Company in 2014. ZGLS is currently inactive.
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company furloughed all employees other than the three executive officers to the COVID-19 impact on its operation capability. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 the company began to remove certain employees from furlough that are key to ongoing operations. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on the business if disruptions or delays in shipments of product occur. To date, the Company has experienced product shipment delays due to import restrictions imposed by countries in which the Company had customer purchase commitments. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for product and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlements of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company has a working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2019, and a net loss and negative cash flows from operating activities for the three months then ended. At March 31, 2019, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $3,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $(4,364,000) and had net loss of approximately $(1,231,000), and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $(643,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. To date, the Company has relied on equity financing and has entered into related and non-related party promissory notes to fund its operations. The Company has also issued stock-based compensation in exchange for services. Although the Company intends to raise additional capital, the Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term and these losses could be significant as product development, regulatory, contract research, and technical marketing personnel related expenses are incurred. Management has evaluated its ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these interim, condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, and has determined that there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has satisfied its obligations using cash from successful capital raising efforts through March 31, 2019; however, there are no assurances that such successful efforts will continue for up to a year after these consolidated financial statements are issued. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has executed product distribution agreements with domestic and international commercial agricultural distributors and generated initial product orders. Additional technical and marketing efforts must be devoted to those distributors to ensure the product is properly utilized and validated by end users. To fund these capital needs, the Company has and continues to raise capital through a private placement offering in connection with its investment banker and through its internal efforts, as well as through issuances of debt. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company has raised approximately $3,824,000 (Note 7). If the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional capital financing and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels.
Management’s strategic plans include the following:
● Continuing to advance commercialization of the Company’s principal product, BAM-FX® in both domestic and international markets;
● Pursuing additional capital raising opportunities;
● Continuing to explore and execute prospective partnering or distribution opportunities; and
● Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive cash flow.

Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and our financial position as of March 31, 2019 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC on October 17, 2019. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, amortization period and recoverability of intangible assets, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company views its operations and manages its business as one reportable segment. As a result, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented within relate to our principal operating segment. Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Inventory
Inventory is valued on a lower of first in, first out (FIFO) cost or net realizable value. Inventory consisted of:

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of inventory of $9,704. During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company recorded an impairment of inventory of $32,084. These were included in Costs of Sales.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ ASC”) 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This guidance requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Intellectual Property
The Company reviewed its intellectual property for impairment and determined that it had no recoverable value. $10,210 was recorded as impairment cost for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company believes that its credit risk exposure is limited. The Company has never suffered a loss due to funds in excess of FDIC limits and had no funds held in excess of FDIC limits at March 31, 2019.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
|
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
|
|
Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
|
|
|
|
Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
|

(Unaudited)
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
As the Company’s common stock is not traded in an active market, the Company estimates the fair value of its common stock (used in its Black Scholes option pricing model) pursuant to ASC 820. This estimation process maximizes the use of observable inputs, including the quoted price of the Company’s common stock in an inactive market, the price of the Company’s common stock determined in connection with transactions in the Company’s common stock, and an income approach to valuation (a discounted cash flow technique that considers the future cash flows).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value due to their short period to maturity and their stated interest rates, combined with historic interest rate levels.
Accounting for Derivatives
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on extinguishment. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
The company has adopted FASB ASU 2017-11, which simplifies the accounting for certain equity-linked financial instruments and embedded features with down round features that reduce the exercise price when the pricing of a future round of financing is lower. This allows the company to treat such instruments or their embedded features as equity instead of considering them as a derivative. If such a feature is triggered the value is measured pre-trigger and post-trigger. The difference in these two measurements is treated as a dividend, reducing income. The value recognized as a dividend is not subsequently remeasured, but in instances where the feature is triggered multiple times each instance is recognized.
Advertising
The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products and services. In accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs,” advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, such amounts aggregated $36,110 and $1,897, respectively.
Accounting for Leases
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The main difference between the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and previous GAAP is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This ASU is effective for public business entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company's adoption January 1, 2019, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Legal Expenses
All legal costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which may contain fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion and records the premium to interest expense on the note issuance date.
Debt Issue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable:
Effective January 1, 2018 (date of adoption), we recognize revenues from the sale of agricultural biotechnology products to distributors and customers pursuant to the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers”.

We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues for agricultural chemical products are recognized when title to the products is transferred which may be upon shipment to the customer or receipt by the customer of the product. This satisfies the performance obligation on which we earn the transaction price. There was no cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees are included in net sales, and costs incurred by the company for the delivery of invoiced goods are classified as cost of goods sold in our Statements of Operations.
The Company determined that no reserve for estimated product returns and allowances was necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Determination of the reserve for estimated product returns and allowances is based on management's analyses and judgments regarding certain conditions. Should future changes in conditions prove management's conclusions and judgments on previous analyses to be incorrect, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be materially affected.
The Company did not have accounts receivable outstanding at March 31, 2019. At December 31, 2018, two customers accounted for 100% of total accounts receivable representing 78.1%, and 21.9%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 97% of net sales. During the period ended March 31, 2018, two customers accounted for 100% of net sales, 75.0% and 25.0%, respectively.
The Company extends credit to customers generally without requiring collateral. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the accounts receivable balance will not be collected. When estimating the allowance, the Company takes into consideration such factors as its day-to-day knowledge of the financial position of specific clients, and the industry and size of its clients. The bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $342 and $4,060, respectively.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is comprised of material costs, invoiced shipping costs and royalty expense.
Warrants
The Company recognizes the cost of warrants issued with debt as debt discount in the consolidated financial statements which is recorded at the warrants relative fair value which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of each warrant at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the simplified method to determine the term.
Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. The expense resulting from employee and share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Company also grants share-based compensation awards to non-employees for service provided to the Company. The Company measures and recognizes the fair value of such transactions based on the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU No 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. This guidance is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. The implementation did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Loss per Share
Loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments. The effect of the inclusion of the dilutive shares would have resulted in a decrease in loss per share. Accordingly, the weighted average shares outstanding have not been adjusted for dilutive shares. Outstanding warrants, stock options and convertible debt are not considered in the calculation as the impact of the potential common shares (totaling 16,206,685, shares and 16,952,975 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively), would be to decrease net loss per share.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Warranty Expense
The Company’s distribution agreements provide for a warranty on products sold. As sales under such distribution agreements have been nominal during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there has been no warranty expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. A provision for estimated future warranty costs is to be recorded as cost of sales when products are shipped, and warranty costs are to be based on historical trends in warranty charges as a percentage of gross product shipments. A resulting accrual is to be reviewed regularly and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in warranty cost estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.

March 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company files corporate income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the states where the Company determines it is required to do so. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.
Investments
We have an equity investment in a privately held entity. We account for investments either under the equity method or cost method of accounting depending on our ownership interest and the level of our influence in each joint venture. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded based upon the amount of our investment and adjusted each period for our share of the investee's income or loss. Cost method investments are recorded at cost less any impairments. All investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable. All investments were carried at a zero value as of March 31, 2019 (See Note 4).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASCs which are or were are not effective until after March 31, 2019 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

All of the above notes were converted into new loans with the Series A and Series B offerings in the second quarter 2019.
In July 2015, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors advanced the Company $500,000 under a note payable for working capital purposes. The unsecured note payable bears interest at 8.5% per annum, is payable quarterly, and was originally due in July 2016. In connection with the note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants at $416,618 utilizing the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions: expected dividends of 0%, volatility of 184.2%, risk free interest rate of 1.66% and expected life of 5 years. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded resulting in a debt discount of $227,258 upon execution of the agreement. In July 2016, the maturity date of the note was extended to July 2017, and a conversion feature was added. The conversion feature allows the holder to convert the debt into common shares at his option at a conversion price of $1.25 per share (400,000 shares). The addition of the conversion feature represented a substantial modification to the debt instrument but the modification was determined to not be material. During 2017, the maturity date of the note was extended to July 2018 and then extended again in 2018 to July 2019. The note is included in the current liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheets. This note plus the accrued and unpaid interest was subsequently converted into Series A and B Notes. (See Note 7).

Embedded Conversion Option Derivatives
Due to the conversion terms of certain promissory notes, the embedded conversion options met the criteria to be bifurcated and presented as derivative liabilities. The Company calculated the estimated fair values of the liabilities for embedded conversion option derivative instruments at the original note inception dates using the Monte Carlo option pricing model using the share prices of the Company’s stock on the dates of valuation and using the following ranges for volatility, expected term and the risk-free interest rate at each respective valuation date, no dividend has been assumed for any of the periods:

Fair value measures
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance established a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis consisted of the following at March 31, 2019:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock price on March 31, 2019 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money warrants) that would have been received by the warrant holders, had all warrant holders been able to, and in fact had, exercised their warrants on March 31, 2019.
Stock incentive plan options
In November 2015, the Company adopted its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. The Plan provides stock based compensation to employees, directors and consultants, as more fully described in the Plan. The Company has reserved 4,000,000 shares under the Plan. 2,640,000 are still available for issuance.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option grants based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As the Company does not currently have reliably determined historic stock prices, the Company uses management estimates of stock value. The Company uses historical data, among other factors, to estimate the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The Company estimates expected term considering factors such as historical exercise patterns and the recipients of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the option. The Company assumes an expected dividend yield of zero for all periods.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
May 2019 Refinancing
On or about May 11, 2019, the Company entered into an Exchange and Release Agreement (each, an “Exchange Agreement”), with certain holders of the Company’s Promissory Notes (each, an “Old Note”), including certain members of the Board of Directors and/or their respective affiliates, pursuant to which, among other things, the holders thereof agreed to exchange all or part of the amounts owed under their Old Notes for new 10% Series A Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (each, a “Series A Note”). The face value of a Series A Note is equal to the principal face amount of an Old Note plus all interest due or accrued under the Old Note through March 31, 2019.
Furthermore, pursuant to each Exchange Agreement, in connection with any such exchange, the holder of an Old Note may, in their sole discretion, also exchange any warrant that such note holder received in connection with the issuance of the Old Notes for a new warrant to purchase shares of common stock (an “Exchange Warrant”). The new warrants were three-year warrants with a $1.00 exercise price.
Such transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreements are referred to herein as the “Refinancing”. The Company conducted the Refinancing in reliance upon the exemptions provided in the Securities Act, including Regulation D, Rule 506(b).
Series B Note Offering
Furthermore, the Exchange Agreement provides that the holder of an Old Note may, in their sole discretion, also subscribe for a 12% Series B Secured Convertible Promissory Note (a “Series B Note”), and be allowed to pay up to one-half of the subscription price of the Series B Note with amounts owed under the Old Note.
In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreements and in reliance upon the exemptions provided in the Securities Act, including Regulation D, Rule 506(b), the Company initiated a new private offering of its securities to certain prospective accredited investors and holders of Old Notes, and entered into Subscription Agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) with certain of such noteholders, including certain members of the Board of Directors and/or their respective affiliates, pursuant to which, among other things, such noteholders subscribed to purchase Series B Notes and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (each, a “Purchase Warrant”).
The transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are referred to herein as the “Offering”. During May 2019 the aggregate gross proceeds in connections with the Offering were $3,326,427, and proceeds net of commission were $3,226,782. Commissions were paid in connection with the Offering equal to 3% of the principal thereof, totaling $99,645 in the aggregate. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to fund working capital requirements.
Terms of Notes and Warrants
The Series A Notes and Series B Notes shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Offering Notes”. The Exchange Warrants and Purchase Warrants shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Offering Warrants”. The Offering Notes were made on substantially the same terms, except as noted. The Offering Warrants were made on substantially the same terms, except as noted.
The Series A Notes bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and the Series B Notes bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, in each case, with such interest being payable by the Company in cash to the holders thereof beginning nine (9) months and fifteen (15) days from the issuance date of such Offering Note with interest payments due on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month thereafter. The Offering Notes shall be repaid in full by the Company, plus all unpaid interest thereon, by thirty-six (36) months from the date of issuance upon the tender of such Offering Note (the “Maturity Date”). Prepayment of all unpaid principal and interest on each such Offering Note may be made by the Company prior to the Maturity Date at any time without penalty or premium upon forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to the holder of such Offering Note (a “Prepayment Notice”); provided, however, that a holder of a Series B Note may not receive a Prepayment Notice prior to the repayment of the principal and interest owing under any Old Note or Series A Note. The Offering Notes are secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, with the priority of the Series A Notes being subordinated to that of the Series B Notes. Furthermore, in addition to terms customarily included in such instruments, each holder of an Offering Note is entitled to convert the unpaid principal and interest due and owing under such Offering Note into common stock at any time prior to the earlier of (a) October 1, 2021 or (b) thirty (30) days following a Prepayment Notice. The conversion price under a Series A Note is two dollars ($2.00) per share and the conversion price under a Series B Note is one dollar ($1.00) per share.
