1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Nature
of the Business
NaturalShrimp
Incorporated (“NaturalShrimp” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company and has developed
a proprietary technology that allows it to grow Pacific White shrimp (Lit Penaeus, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled,
high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. The Company’s system uses technology
which allows it to produce a naturally grown shrimp “crop” weekly and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or
toxic chemicals. The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows it to produce
commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels
of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. The Company’s production facilities are located in La Coste,
Texas and Webster City, Iowa.
On
December 17, 2020, the Company closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between VeroBlue Farms USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“VBF”), VBF Transport, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Transport”), and Iowa’s First, Inc., an Iowa corporation
(“Iowa’s First”) (each a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”). Transport and Iowa’s
First were wholly-owned subsidiaries of VBF. The agreement called for the Company to purchase all of the tangible assets of VBF, the
motor vehicles of Transport and the real property (together with all plants, buildings, structures, fixtures, fittings, systems and other
improvements located on such real property) of Iowa’s First. The facility was originally designed as an aquaculture facility, with
the company having production issues. The Company began a modification process to convert the plant to produce shrimp, which will allow
them to scale faster without having to build new facilities. The three Iowa facilities contain the tanks and infrastructure that will
be used to support the production of shrimp with the incorporation of the Company’s patented EC platform technology.
On
May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with F&T Water Solutions, LLC (“F&T”),
for F&T’s owned shares of Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). Prior to entering into the SPA, the Company owned
fifty-one percent ( 51 %) and F&T owned forty-nine percent ( 49 %) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NAS. After
the SPA, NAS is a 100 % owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp USA Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and NAS.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended September 30, 2022,
the Company had a net loss from operations of approximately $ 5,553,000 . At September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of approximately $ 177,927,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $ 38,334,000 . These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of this filing. The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet
short and long-term operating requirements. During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received the $ 1,500,000 remaining
escrow amount related to the proceeds from the issuance of a convertible debenture in December 2021, as well as $ 1,100,000 from the from
the issuance of a convertible debenture in August 2022, with $ 3,900,000 put into escrow to be held until certain terms are met for a
promissory note (see Note 5) and $ 250,000 in a loan agreement with related parties. Subsequent to the period end , the Company entered
into a Purchase Agreement with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) under which the Company may require GHS to purchase a maximum
of up to 64,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“GHS Purchase Shares”) based on a total aggregate purchase
price of up to $ 5,000,000 over a one-year term that ends on November 4, 2023 (see Note 11). On November 8, 2022, the Company received
a $ 500,000 , for the sale of 4,972,156 shares of common stock . Management believes that private placements of equity capital will
be needed to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require
significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company
raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of its current shareholders could be reduced, and such
securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable
terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage
of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. The Company continues
to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital,
the Company may be unable to develop its facilities and enter in production.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 has been prepared
in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows
for such periods. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant
to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should
be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2022.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalShrimp Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
NaturalShrimp USA Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
Preparing
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8
Basic
and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share
Basic
and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are computed
in accordance with ASC 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic
EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available
to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period.
For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be
converted at the holder’s option into approximately 751,323,000 underlying common shares, 1,500 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible
Preferred shares whose approximately 5,143,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion
price of $ 0.35 , and 170 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 2,656,000 underlying shares are
convertible at the investors’ option at conversion price of 90 % of the average of the two lowest market prices over the last 10
days, 750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 180,333,000
underlying common shares, approximately $ 18,768,000 in a convertible debenture whose approximately 259,759,000 underlying shares are
convertible at the holders’ option at conversion price of 90 % of the average of the two lowest market prices over the last 10 days
and 18,573,116 warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had Redeemable Convertible Preferred stock with approximately 9,842,000 underlying
common shares, and 10,000,000 warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be
anti-dilutive.
Fair
Value Measurements
ASC
Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurement” , requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values
at our balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their
fair values, but GAAP provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair
values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts in our balance
sheets. For financial instruments recognized at fair value, GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument,
along with other information, including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in income or other comprehensive
income. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is provided below under “Financial
Instruments.”
Nonfinancial
assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s
balance sheets. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, GAAP requires
the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of
property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability
along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in income in the period the remeasurement occurred.
The
Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
The
derivative and warrant liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements.
The
following is a summary of activity of Level 3 derivatives during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended March 31,
2022:

At
September 30, 2022, the fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the following inputs: the price of the Company’s
common stock of $ 0.15 ; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.06 % to 4.25 % and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock
ranging from 124.6 % to 174.8 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.
At
March 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using a Black Sholes model with the following weighted-average
inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $ 0.225 ; a risk-free interest rate of 2.42 % and expected volatility of the Company’s
common stock ranging from 185.9 % to 205.9 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under
the provisions of ASC Topic 825, “ Financial Instruments” . The carrying amount of these financial instruments, with
the exception of discounted debt, as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
the purpose of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) up to $ 250,000 . As of September 30, 2022 and
March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash balance exceeded FDIC coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts
and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.
Fixed
Assets
Equipment
is carried at historical value or cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated
depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718. “ Stock-based Compensation
to Employees ” is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite
employee service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for
common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances. Once the stock
is issued the appropriate expense account is charged.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company has intangible assets, which were acquired in a patent acquisition, and license rights agreements. The Company’s patents
represent definite lived intangible assets and will be amortized over the twenty year duration of the patent, unless at some point the
useful life is determined to be less than the protected life of the patent. The Company’s license rights will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the expected term of the agreements of ten years. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, the
amortization of the patents was $ 97,500 and $ 195,000 and the license rights was $ 270,000 and $ 540,000 . Amortization
expense for the patents was $ 97,500 and $ 146,500 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. The accumulated amortization
of the patents was $ 536,000 and $ 341,500 as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The accumulated amortization of the
license rights was $ 1,080,000 and $ 540.000 as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
The
Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of its finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances
warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. As of September 30, 2022, the Company believes the carrying value of the
intangible assets are still recoverable, and there is no impairment to be recognized.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant
such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted
cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated
cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in
a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Commitments
and Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss
to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management
and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing
loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings,
the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived
merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
11
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable
but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable
and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee
would be disclosed.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-
20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and
Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments
with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible
preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities
to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred
stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features
that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required
for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted EPS
for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating
diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted,
but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the
beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
As
of September 30, 2022, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these
pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting
pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management’s
Evaluation of Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2022, through the date which the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 11 – Subsequent Events,
the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

and $ 759,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
On
July 3, 2022, the Company’s building containing its water treatment and purification system in La Coste, Texas (the “Water
Treatment Plant”) was completely destroyed in a fire. The Water Treatment Plant is a separate building consisting of approximately
8,000 square feet located apart from the production building which was not damaged. The Company received $ 700,000 from the insurance
company for the claim filed for the fire damage. Due to the damage caused by the fire, the Company has written off approximately $ 1,764,000
of the fixed assets, and $ 325,000 of the accumulated depreciation, which, less the $ 700,000 insurance settlement, has resulted in the
recognition of a Loss due to fire in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE
4 – SHORT-TERM NOTE AND LINES OF CREDIT
The
Company has a working capital line of credit with Capital One Bank for $ 50,000 . The line of credit bears an interest rate of prime plus
25.9 basis points , which totaled 31.625 % as of September 30, 2022. The line of credit is unsecured. The balance of the line of credit
was $ 9,580 at both September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
The
Company also has a working capital line of credit with Chase Bank for $ 25,000 . The line of credit bears an interest rate of prime plus
10 basis points, which totaled 15.725 % as of September 30, 2022. The line of credit is secured by assets of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The balance of the line of credit is $ 10,237 at September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
NOTE
5 – PROMISSORY NOTE
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on August
17, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount
totaling approximately $ 5,433,333 . The Note has an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance
date of the Note. The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $ 433,333 and a transaction expense amount of $ 10,000 , both of
which are included in the principal balance of the Note. On the Closing Date the Company received $ 1,100,000 , with $ 3,900,000 put into
escrow to be held until certain terms are met, which includes $ 3,400,000 upon the completion of a successful uplist to NYSE or NASDAQ.
The SPA includes a Security Agreement, whereby the note is secured by the collateral set forth in the agreement, covering all of the
assets of the Company. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at maturity,
shall be subject to an exit fee of 15 % of the portion of the Outstanding Balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit
Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15 % of the principal balance, which totals $ 816,500 , was recognized
along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount.
As
soon as reasonably possible, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in
either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by November 15, 2022, the then-current
outstanding balance will be increased by 10 %. Following the Uplist, while the Note is still outstanding, ten days after the Company may
have a sale of any of its shares of common stock or preferred stock, there shall be a Mandatory Prepayment equal to the greater of $ 3,000,000
or thirty-three percent of the gross proceeds of the equity sale .

NOTE
6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
December
15, 2021 Debenture
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “December 2021 SPA”) with an investor (the “December 2021
Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the December 2021 SPA, the December 2021 Investor purchased a secured promissory note
(the “December 2021 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $ 16,320,000 . The December 2021 Note has
an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note (the “Maturity
Date”). The December 2021 Note carried an original issue discount totaling $ 1,300,000 and a transaction expense amount of $ 20,000 ,
both of which are included in the principal balance of the December 2021 Note. The December 2021 Note had $ 2,035,000 in debt issuance
costs, including fees paid in cash of $ 1,095,000 and 3,000,000 warrants issued to placement agents with a fair value of $ 940.000 . The
warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock
of $ 0.32 ; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19 %, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9 %; the estimated remaining
term, a dividend rate of 0 %. The warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares
to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt.
Beginning
on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the December 2021 Investor has the right to redeem up
to $ 1,000,000 of the outstanding balance per month. Payments may be made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash,
or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided
by the Redemption Repayment Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equals 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest
volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the
December 2021 Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the December 2021 Note. The redemption amount shall include a
premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit Fee is to be included in
every settlement of the December 2021 Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $ 2,448,000 , was recognized along
with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount. In addition to the December 2021 Investor’s
right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the December 2021 Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a
premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.
Within
180 days of the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the Company will obtain an effective registration statement or a supplement
to any existing registration statement or prospectus with the SEC registering at least $ 15,000,000 in shares of Common Stock for the
December 2021 Investor’s benefit such that any redemption using shares of Common Stock could be done using registered Common Stock.
Additionally, as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of the December 2021 Note, the Company will cause the Common Stock
to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has
not effectuated the Uplist by March 1, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. On February 7, 2022, the
Company and the December 2021 Investor entered into an amendment to the December 2021 SPA, which extended the date by which the Uplist
must be completed to April 15, 2022. In consideration of the grant of the extension there was an extension fee of $ 249,079 added to the
principal balance, which has been recognized as a financing cost in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement.
Subsequently, the date by which the Uplist had to be completed was further extended to June 15, 2022, and again to November 15, 2022,
with no additional fee included . The Company will make a one-time payment to the December 2021 Investor equal to 15%
of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the offering expected to be effected in connection with the Uplist (whether from the
sale of shares of its Common Stock and / or preferred stock) within ten (10) days of receiving such amount. In the event the Company
does not make this payment, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. In addition, the Company has 30 days in which
to secure the December 2021 Note and grant the December 2021 Investor a first position security interest in the real property in Texas
and Iowa, and if it is not effectuated within the 30 days the outstanding balance will be increased by 15%. The Company is required to
reserve 65,000,000 shares of common stock from its authorized and unissued common stock and to add 100,000,000 shares of common stock
to the Share Reserve on or before March 10, 2022.
The
December 2021 Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include
a failure to deliver conversion shares, the Company fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction
without the December 2021 Investor’s written consent, the Company effectuates a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading
days written notice to the December 2021 Investor, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant, and, the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any material. Upon an Event of a
Default, at its option and sole discretion, the December 2021 Investor may consider the December 2021 Note immediately due and payable.
Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the December 2021 Note increases
from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default . As of September 30, 2022, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants
and Events of Default.

Series
E Preferred Stock
On
June 16, 2022, one of the holders of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock chose to exercise their right, pursuant to the Certificate
of Designation relating to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, to receive the rights extended to the convertible noteholder, of
90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading
days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As the exercise of the conversion price adjustment was similar to a down round, and
the Company has not yet adopted ASU 2020-06, the accounting treatment of ASU 2017-11 was applied, whereby the adjustment was treated
as a contingent beneficial conversion feature recognized as of the triggering date. As of June 16, 2022, this holder held 940 shares
of the Series E preferred stock. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other
options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company as compared to the conversion price, determined there
was a $ 99,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which was fully amortized as there is no remaining redemption date to their
Series E Preferred Stock. The additional rights of the convertible note which were applied include the 10 % increase in the outstanding
balance if an uplist to a national exchange was not consummated by the Company by March 1, 2022, for an increase of 130 Series E Preferred
shares with a stated value of $ 156,000 , as well as an exit fee of 15 % to be recognized upon conversions of the Series E Preferred shares
into shares of common stock.

During
the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series E preferred stock
was $ 42,500 and $ 85,000 . The Company is accreting the carrying value, of the Series E Preferred Stock in temporary equity up to the redemption
value over the period until its redemption. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, $ 278,500 and $ 557,000 was accreted,
and approximately $ 916,000 to date as of September 30, 2022.

NOTE
9 – LEASES
On
May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a sublease for a new office space in Texas, on two floors. The lease commenced on August 1, 2021
for a monthly rent of $ 7,000 , and will terminate on October 31, 2025 , for one of the spaces, and commence in the second half of 2022
for monthly rent of $ 1,727 , and terminate on October 31, 2025 , for the second space. On June 2, 2021, the Company paid a deposit of $ 52,362
which shall be applied to the last six months of the sublease term, and $ 17,454 security deposit, which is included in Prepaid expenses
on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company assessed its new office lease as an operating lease.
At
inception, on August 1, 2021, the ROU and lease liability was calculated as approximately $ 316,000 , based on the net present value of
the future lease payments over the term of the lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease discount payments
as the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable
for their corporate office lease. In this case, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate of 5.75 % as the interest rate it
could have incurred to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis over
a term similar to the lease term. The Company estimated its rate based on observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial
debt of a similar duration as to what rate would have been effective for the Company.
On
September 8, 2021, the Company entered into an equipment lease agreement for VOIP phone equipment. The lease term is for sixty months,
with a monthly lease payment of approximately $ 300 . The Company assessed the equipment lease as an operating lease. The Company determined
the Right of Use asset and Lease liability values at inception as approximately $ 17,000 calculated at the present value of all future
lease payments for the lease term, using an incremental borrowing rate of 5.75 %.
