Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met. As of March 31, 2025, we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of March 31, 2025. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer [and principal financial officer], we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2025, of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. Our internal controls are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only one person, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company does not have an audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process. In order to mitigate the foregoing material weaknesses, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will continue to reassess this matter to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members. Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the exemption provided to issuers that are not “large accelerated filers” nor “accelerated filers” under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 12 Item 9B. Other Information None. Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections. Not applicable. 13 PART III. Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance. The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of our executive officers and directors as of the date of this report: Name Age Position Kent Rodriguez 67 Director, President, Treasurer, Secretary Background of Executive Officers and Directors Our directors are elected for a term of one year and serve until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Each executive officer serves at the pleasure of the Board. Kent Rodriguez Mr. Rodriguez joined the Company as Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and Principal Financial Officer in May 2009. Since 1995, he has been the Managing Partner of Weyer Capital Partners, a Minneapolis-based venture capital corporation. He has a B.A. degree in Geology from Carleton College, and an Executive MBA from the Harvard Business School. Mr. Rodriguez is the related party who has provided funds to the Company, which are owed back to him and can be found within the Balance Sheets and footnotes referenced throughout this filing as related party payables. Family Relationships There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors. Board Composition Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors, which presently consists of one member. Our current director will continue to serve as a director until his resignation, removal or successor is duly elected. Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws permit our board of directors to establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. Each director serves until the expiration of the term for which such director was elected or appointed, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there are no legal proceedings, and during the past ten years there have been no legal proceedings, that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our directors, director nominees or executive officers. Committees of Our Board of Directors Our board of directors has not established any committees. We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. We do not currently have a “financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company has no nominating or compensation committees at this time. The entire Board participates in the nomination and audit oversight processes and considers executive and director compensation. Given the size of the Company and its stage of development, the entire Board is involved in such decision-making processes. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors. 14 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics The Company has not as yet adopted a code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 due to our small size and limited resources and because management’s attention has been focused on matters pertaining to raising capital and the operation of the business. Risk and Compensation Policies The Company does not have any risk and compensation policies . Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, each of Kent Rodriguez and Douglas Barton are delinquent in filing a Form 3 report. Mr. Barton resigned from the Company’s board of directors as of July 29, 2024. Item 11. Executive Compensation. On an annual basis the Company accrues $48,000 of wages payable, or $4,000 monthly, to its CEO Kent Rodriguez. On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its CEO which designates monthly payments due to Mr. Rodriguez in the amount of $4,000 each month. This agreement continued for four years until March 31, 2024 and was renewed for a further term on expiry.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters The following table lists, as of March 31, 2025, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by (i) each person, entity or group (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each of our Named Executive Officers and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal stockholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the SEC.

The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the SEC rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary interest.

However, all related party transactions are currently reviewed, and as may be necessary, approved by our Board of Directors.

Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. (a) List of Financial Statements, Financial Statement Schedules and Exhibits . (1) Financial Statements . The following financial statements of Groove Botanicals Inc. are included in this Annual Report beginning on page F-1: Page For the Years Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID: 6662 ) 19 Consolidated Balance Sheets 20 Consolidated Statements of Operations 21 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) 22 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 23 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 24 18 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM August 14, 2025 Audit Committee/Board of Director Groove Botanicals, Inc. 310 Fourth Avenue South, Suite 7000 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Opinion on the financial statements We audited the accompanying balance sheets of Groove Botanicals, Inc. (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”) . In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of the liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $35,196,581 for the year ended March 31, 2025. These factors as discussed in Note 3 of the financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis of Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters Critical audit matters arising from the current period of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosure that are material to the financial statements and (2) involve especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Related party transactions. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statement, the Company has borrowed from related parties an amount $608,833 as of the date of March 31, 2025. The procedure performed to address the matter included: obtaining confirmation from related party. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024. /s/ M. S. Madhava Rao M. S.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Current Operations Groove Botanicals, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc.), was originally incorporated in Colorado on April 25, 1991, under the name Snow Runner (USA), Inc. The Company was the general partner of Snow Runner (USA) Ltd.; a Colorado limited partnership to sell proprietary snow skates under the name “Sled Dogs” which was dissolved in August 1992. In late 1993, the Company relocated its operations to Minnesota and in January 1994 changed our name to Snow Runner, Inc. In November 1994 we changed our name to the Sled Dogs Company. On May 25, 1999, we filed articles of merger with Xdogs.com Inc., changing our state of domicile to Nevada. On June 22, 2005, the Corporation changed our name from XDOGS.com, Inc. to Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc. On May 14, 2018, the Corporation changed our name from Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc., to Groove Botanicals, Inc. Until August 2, 2021, when we filed a 15-12B to suspend duty to file reports under sections 13 and 15(d) of the securities exchange act of 1934, we were a reporting company. Subsequently, on September 14, 2023, we filed a Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective 60 days later. Since inception we have operated unsuccessfully, in various different industries. Currently, we plan to assemble a portfolio of early-stage EV Battery Technologies developed from Universities in Norway, Sweden and Finland, and seek grants from the State of Minnesota Department of Economic Development to find and identify corporate partners to commercialize these technologies and ultimately produce revenues for the Company. The Company does not currently own any patents or technologies related to the EV battery industry, and the process to acquire patents and technologies can be costly, and as such, the Company is not guaranteed to acquire any such patents. Management believes that the technologies available in the specialized energy industry present a stable business model with high growth potential and we are actively working towards an impactful acquisition in this space. On July 29, 2024, Mr. Douglas Barton resigned as a director of the Company. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information. Accordingly, they include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, were derived from the Company’s consolidated financial statements at that date. Basis of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Groove Botanicals, Inc., and its two 100% controlled non-operating subsidiaries formed in Wyoming, Biotrex, Inc., and Maxidyne, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, such estimates were made by the Company for the valuation of derivative liability, stock compensation and beneficial conversion feature expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 24 Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party payables, dividends payable and other debt. The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments approximate fair value. FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value 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 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1—Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs; Level 2—Significant other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, related party payables, accrued dividends and debt approximate fair value based on either their short-term nature or on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets. Net Loss Per Share The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As the Company has continued to report operating losses for the periods covered by this report, the impact of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive and therefore is not presented. Income Taxes The Company is taxed as a C corporation for income tax purposes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, on potential income tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense. The Company records tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return based upon the amount that is more likely than not to be realized or paid, including in connection with the resolution of any related appeals or other legal processes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes liabilities for certain unrecognized tax benefits based on the amounts that are more likely than not to be settled with the relevant taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Recent Accounting Standard Adopted : In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for reportable segments in annual and interim financial statements, including additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended March 31, 2025 retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statement. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on reportable segments identified and had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Recent Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted : In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is available. The Company is still evaluating the full extent of the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures. 25 In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, – Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This ASU requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will evaluate the full extent of the adoption of ASU 2024-03, but believes it will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses since its inception and has raised limited capital. The Company had a net loss of $ 130,834 and $ 202,089 for the years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s accumulated deficit was $ 35,196,581 and $ 34,847,277 as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is taking certain steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps include but are not limited to: 1) focus on our new business model and 2) raising equity or debt financing. Our auditors express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. NOTE 4 – CASH The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s cash consisted of non-restricted cash. NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company had related party payables of $ 608,833 and $ 453,057 as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts consist of funds contributed by the management for the purpose of providing financing during periods of low or negative cashflow in order to cover essential costs of continuing operations, as well as funds payable to management as compensation. On an annual basis the Company accrues $48,000 of wages payable to its CEO, Kent Rodriguez, under the terms of a four-year employment agreement entered into April 1, 2020, which designates monthly payments due Mr. Rodriguez in the amount of $4,000. On July 30, 2024, the Company and Mr. Kent Rodriguez agreed to extend the term of this Employment Contract, which expired on March 31, 2024, for a further two-year term to March 31, 2026, retroactive to April 1, 2024, on the same terms and conditions. During each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company accrued $40,000 in preferred dividends from the Series A preferred shares to Mr. Kent Rodriguez, the sole shareholder of the Series A Preferred shares. Upon conversion the number of shares of common stock to be exchanged for the Series A Preferred shares shall equal 51% of the then fully diluted issued and outstanding common stock at the time of conversion. Further the Company accrued dividends of $ 33,195 in each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 with respect to 18.6% of the Series B Preferred shares controlled by Kent Rodriguez. NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE Convertible notes payable consisted of a $ 40,000 Convertible Promissory Note issued on March 5, 2021, by management to a third party in exchange for professional services. Beginning on the issuance date of this note, the outstanding principal balance of this note shall bear annual interest at 10 % , with interest commencing on the sixth month anniversary of the Issuance Date. The note had a maturity date of June 30, 2022 . Additionally, the note has a fixed conversion feature of $0.02 per share, and therefore the Convertible Note is measured at the net of Debt Discount, calculated based off its Beneficial Conversion Features. The note was booked with a debt discount of the full principal balance of $ 40,000 . As of June 30, 2022, this entire debt discount had been amortized. Further, on March 7, 2022, the Company issued an additional convertible promissory note in the amount of $ 60,000 , with a maturity date of March 7, 2023 , an annual interest rate of 10 % and a fixed conversion price of $ 0.02 per share, in exchange for consulting services. The convertible amount is accounted for based off the outstanding principal and related interest pertaining to the portion convertible debt instrument being converted, multiplied by the previously specified conversion rate. On July 18, 2022, a Letter Agreement was drafted between the Company and the debtholder, which establishes the settlement of these debts once the Company’s Form 10 goes effective. On January 23, 2023 the Company and the convertible note holder mutually agreed to settle any and all amounts owed pursuant to 1) the Consulting Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $ 40,000 dated March 5, 2021; and 2) the Consulting Agreement and a Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $ 60,000 dated March 7, 2022; 3) all interest accrued through settlement date, as follows: $10,000.00 to be paid to Hymers upon execution of this Agreement, with an additional payment of $40,000 30 days after GRVE’s Form 10 has gone effective. 26 $ 10,000 was paid on January 24, 2023. $ 40,000 was paid on December 31, 2023. This resulted in a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $ 71,242 , including interest forgiven of $ 21,242 , during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the balance of the convertible note was $ 0 . NOTE 7 – PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. We have authorized 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, both with a par value of $ 0.10 . As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, there were 100 and 1,983 shares issued and outstanding for Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively.

On January 12, 2018, our Board of Directors agreed to amend Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be amended by changing the ratio for conversion, in Article IV, subparagraph (a), from 0.4% to 0.51% so that upon conversion the number of shares of common stock to be exchanged shall equal 51% of the then issued and outstanding common stock.

Currently the value of the liquidation preference is $500,000, the amount of debt that the related party converted into the preferred stock. If this Preferred Stock were to be redeemed by the holder, it would result in an aggregate of the $ 500,000 liquidation preference, on a per share basis, this would equal $ 5,000 per share. The Company and Series A Preferred Holder agreed to forgive all accrued interest and arrearages in preferred share dividends of Series A Preferred Stock through March 31, 2023. Dividends began to accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock as of April 1, 2023.
