+Added: accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation
+Added: models in Subtopic 470-20.
+Added: The prior conditions were difficult to apply and resulted in circumstances where warrants may have been required
+Added: to be accounted for as a liability rather than as equity if issued under a registration statement.
+Added: The Company, in consultation with
+Added: legal counsel, determined that its outstanding public warrants issued under a Registration Statement on Form S-1 met, and continues to

+Added: If the Company had recorded the warrants as a liability in
+Added: prior periods, with the full retrospective adoption on January 1, 2021, the liability would have been recast as equity and retained earnings
+Added: adjusted to reverse the effect of the liability entries and as a result, there would be no impact on the financial statements for any

+Added: In June 2016, the FASB issued

+Added: The standard eliminates
+Added: the threshold for initial recognition in current U.S.
+Added: GAAP and it covers a broad range of financial instruments, including trade and other
+Added: receivables at each reporting date.
+Added: The measurement of expected credit losses is based on historical experience, current conditions, and
+Added: reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets.

−Removed: office space.
−Removed: The interest was 10% per annum with the note principal and interest originally due December 18, 2010.
−Removed: If the Company
−Removed: receives greater than $1,000,000 of proceeds from debt or equity financing, 25% of the amount in excess of $1,000,000 would be
−Removed: used to pay down the note.
−Removed: This note was subordinate to all existing senior indebtedness of the Company.
−Removed: This note was convertible
−Removed: at $16.50 per share and had no beneficial conversion feature at the note date.
−Removed: Through a series of
−Removed: amendments, the term of the note was extended until December 31, 2016, and the lender waived, through December 31, 2015, the requirement
−Removed: to pay down the note with financing proceeds received by the Company.
−Removed: Effective June 13,
−Removed: 2018, the Company entered into a further amendment to extend the maturity date of this note to December 31, 2019, and the lender
−Removed: waived the past requirements to pay the note with financing proceeds received by the Company.
−Removed: There were no additional fees or
−Removed: discounts associated with this amendment.
−Removed: This modification was treated as an extinguishment as the change in fair value of the
−Removed: embedded conversion option just before and just after the modification was more than 10% of the carrying amount of the note.
−Removed: market price of the Company’s stock was below the conversion price at the time of the modification, therefore no beneficial
−Removed: conversion feature needed to be recorded.
−Removed: In April 2019, the
−Removed: Company repaid the $100,000 note, and unpaid interest of $93,096, of which $493 was expensed in that quarter.

−Removed: interest which was convertible into shares of common stock at $16.50 per share.
−Removed: There was no beneficial conversion feature at the
−Removed: note date and this note was subordinate to the then existing notes.
−Removed: Through a series of amendments from the original due date,
−Removed: the conversion price of the convertible note was reduced to $10.00 and the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017.
−Removed: Effective June 27,
−Removed: 2018, the Company entered into a further extension agreement to extend the maturity date of this note to July 1, 2019.
−Removed: no additional fees or discounts associated with this extension.

−Removed: in fair value of the embedded conversion option just before and just after the modification was more than 10% of the carrying amount
−Removed: The Company recorded debt discount amounting to $30,960 for the value of the beneficial conversion feature and is
−Removed: amortizing this to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan.
−Removed: In April 2019, the
−Removed: Company repaid the note balance of $50,616 and unpaid interest of $77,066, of which $627 was expensed in that quarter.

−Removed: “Lender”
−Removed: On September 18, 2017,

−Removed: convertible promissory note with the same unaffiliated lender (the “Lender”).

−Removed: floating rate per annum equal to the 12-month USD LIBOR index rate quoted from time to time in New York, New York by the Bloomberg

−Removed: month during the term of the Note to reflect any changes in the 12 month LIBOR rate as quoted at on that day, or if that day is
−Removed: not a business day, on the next business day thereafter.
−Removed: Interest will only accrue on outstanding principal.
−Removed: Accrued unpaid interest
−Removed: was payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month for interest accrued during the previous month, with all outstanding
−Removed: principal and accrued unpaid interest originally payable in full on or before September 17, 2018 to the extent not converted into
−Removed: shares of the Company’s common stock.
−Removed: This note was initially amended to be payable in full by December 1, 2018 but the Company
−Removed: did not make the December 1, 2018 principal payment.
−Removed: In March 2019, and effective as of December 1, 2018, the Company entered into
−Removed: second amendment to extend the term of the note to be payable in full by (i) June 30, 2019 or (ii) the closing of the public offering

−Removed: interest in all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in a certain Security Agreement by and between the Company and the
−Removed: Lender, dated September 18, 2017.
−Removed: At any time until the maturity date, and provided Lender gives the Company written notice of
−Removed: Lender’s election to convert prior to any prepayment of this Note by the Company with respect to converting that portion
−Removed: of this Note covered by the prepayment, the Lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and
−Removed: accrued interest (the “Conversion Amount”), into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock as is determined
−Removed: by dividing the Conversion Amount by the greater of (i) seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted
−Removed: Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one
−Removed: with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Lender’s
−Removed: written notice of its election to convert.
−Removed: As additional consideration
−Removed: for the loan evidenced by the Note, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a
−Removed: period of three years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to $7.50 per share.

−Removed: of debt discount consisting of the relative fair value of the warrants of $166,384 and a beneficial conversion feature of $66,384,
−Removed: which was amortized to interest expense over the original term of the note.
−Removed: During any time when
−Removed: the Note is outstanding, or when the Lender holds any Company stock, or any warrants to acquire Company stock where the combination
−Removed: of both could result in the Lender owning stock with a current value of one million dollars or greater, in the Company, the Lender
−Removed: will have certain review and consulting rights as described in the Note.
