NATURALSHRIMP
INCORPORATED
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
NOTE
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 (Litopenaeus vannamei, 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.
The
Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp USA Corporation (“NSC”) and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc.
(“NS Global”) and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”), and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas
limited liability company.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying 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, 2023, the Company
had a net loss available for common stockholders of approximately $ 5,419,000 . As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $ 172,952,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $ 10,257,000 . 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, 2023, the Company received net cash proceeds of
approximately $ 1,865,000 from the sale of common shares (See Note 8), $ 150,000 from the sale of Series E Preferred stock and the Company
received $ 140,000 proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes, related parties. Subsequent to period end, the Company received approximately
$ 166,000 for the sale of common shares (See Note 12).
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 its 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 its operations. The Company continues to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital

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, 2023 and 2022 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 three and six months ended September 30, 2023 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(“SEC”). These unaudited financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023 included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 27, 2023.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023 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 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NSC, NS
Global, and NAS. 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.
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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. As of the three months
ended September 30, 2023, the Company had 5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s
option into approximately 900,072,000 underlying common shares, 1,656 of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately
5,678,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $ 0.35 , 750,000 shares of Series
F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 216,017,000 underlying common shares, and
18,573,116 warrants outstanding which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As
of the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had 5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at
the holder’s option into approximately 751,323,000 underlying common shares, 1,500 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 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 18,573,429
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 the 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. 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 the operating results or within comprehensive income
(loss) of the respective period. 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 operating results in the period the remeasurement occurred.
The
Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.
The
warrant liabilities and fair value option on Restructured notes, are Level 3 fair value measurements.
The
following is a summary of activity of Level 3 derivatives during the six months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended March 31,
2023:

inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $ 0.025 ; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 3.81 % to 4.80 % ; and expected
volatility of the Company’s common stock ranging from 109.2 % to 115.3 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.
At
March 31, 2023, 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 $ 0.05 ; a risk-free interest rate of 3.81 % and expected volatility of the Company’s
common stock ranging from 113.6 % to 121.0 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.

On
November 4, 2022, when the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note for two
of their outstanding debentures (Note 6 and Note 7), which were accounted for as debt extinguishment, the Company elected to recognize
the new debt under the fair value option within ASC Topic 825, “ Financial Instruments .” . The fair value for both
periods is based on the maturity dates, the interest of 12 % , the 15 % exit fee, the 2% appreciation fee for an estimated period, and a
40% present value factor . In accordance with ASC 825, the Company chose to present the component for the accrued interest in the same
line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet with the fair value option, and as of April 1, 2023, reclassed the
accrued interest to not be presented as a separate line item.
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. 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, 2023 and March 31, 2023.
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, 2023 and
March 31, 2023, 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:
SCHEDULE
OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
Buildings

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.
10
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 months ended September 30, 2023 and September
30, 2022, the amortization of the patents was $ 97,500 and $ 97,500 and in the amortization of the license rights was $ 270,000 and $ 270,000 ,
respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the amortization of the patents was $ 195,000 and $ 195,000
and the amortization of the license rights was $ 540,000 and $ 540,000 , 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, 2023, the Company believes the carrying value of the
intangible assets are still recoverable, and there is no impairment to be recognized.
License
agreements
On
August 25, 2021, the Company, through its 100 % owned subsidiary NAS, entered into an Equipment Rights Agreements with Hydrenesis-Delta
Systems, LLC (“Hydrenesis-Delta”) and a Technology Rights Agreement, in a sub-license agreement with Hydrenesis Aquaculture
LLC (“Hydrenesis-Aqua”).Both Rights agreements are for a 10-year term, which shall automatically renew for ten-year successive
terms. The agreements accord the exclusive rights to purchase or distribute the technology, or buy or rent the equipment, which is the
primary business and revenue stream generated from indoor aquaculture farming of any species in the territory, which will be named the
NSI Technologies and Equipment (“NSI Technologies”).
The
terms of the Agreements set forth that NAS will pay Hydrenesis 12.5 % royalty fees. The royalties are calculated per all customer or sub-license
revenue generated by NAS, NSI or any affiliate, from the sale or rental of either the Technologies or Hydrenesis Equipment, based on
gross revenue less returns, rebates and sales taxes. There are sales milestones for exclusivity, whereby if NAS fails to achieve a sales
milestone starting in Year 3, the exclusivity rights in both of the Rights agreements shall revert to non-exclusive rights. To maintain
the exclusivity for the subsequent year, the Company may pay the amount of the royalty fees that would have been due if the Sales Milestones
had been met in the current year.
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.
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.
11
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee
would be disclosed.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, as such, the Company records
revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company
expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as
to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors. Additionally, the Company will sell or rent the NSI Technologies.
To
determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs
the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company
which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment
of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order
received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction
price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the
Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
In
the future, if the Company has customers with long-term contracts for multiple shipments of live shrimp, the Company will elect the right-to-invoice
practical expedient and any variable consideration estimate will be excluded from the transaction price and the revenue will be recognized
directly when the goods are delivered.

per month for the combined total of the Service Fee. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has received $ 175,000 , comprised of the initial
payment and $ 25,000 related to the monthly service fees which began September 1, 2023.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 to require entities to calculate
diluted earnings per share (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.
12
As
of September 30, 2023, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. 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, 2023, through the date which the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 12 – 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.

NOTE
6 – RESTRUCTURED AUGUST NOTE PAYABLE
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 were to be met, which included $ 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.
14
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 .
In
conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 11), on November 4,
2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “August Note”),
through which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The Restructured August Note decreased the principal to $1,748,667,
less an OID of $138,667, and the amount in escrow was returned to the investor, The Restructuring Agreement included key modifications,
in which i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) in the event that the closing of the Merger does not occur on or before December 31, 2022,
the then-current Outstanding Balance will be increased by 2% and shall increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing or termination
of the Merger Agreement, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of
an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions
(“Trigger Events”) . The Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June
30, 2023, in the amount of approximately $ 272,000 . On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination
of the Merger Agreement. (See Note 11) On November 20, 2023, the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2024 .
The
Restructured August Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new
debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under
the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared
to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $ 1,933,000 , there was a loss in extinguishment of approximately $ 157,000 .
As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the August Note will be
accounted for at fair value until they are settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair
value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated
for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the August Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded
derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of September 30, 2023 at approximately $ 2,250,000 , with
a change in fair value of approximately $ ( 150,000 ) recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statement of Operations. The
August Note was revalued as of March 31, 2023 at approximately $ 2,400,000 , with a change in fair value of approximately $ 467,000 . As
of September 30, 2023, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value is approximately $ 271,000 .
NOTE
7 – RESTRUCTURED SENIOR NOTE PAYABLE
December
15, 2021 Debenture
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December
15, 2021. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount
totaling approximately $ 16,320,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity
date 24 months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”).
Beginning
on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the Note, the Investor had the right to redeem up to $ 1,000,000 of the outstanding
balance per month. Payments could have been 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” equaled 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 Investor delivers notice electing
to redeem a portion of the Note. The redemption amount shall include an Exit Fee, consisting of a premium of 15% of the portion of the
outstanding balance being paid. As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the 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 Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the 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 .
15
On
November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior
Note”) with the December 2021 Investor through which the December 2021 Note was amended and restated in its entirety. These amendments
were made in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 11), The
main modification of the terms of the Senior Note was that the conversion feature was eliminated. Second, a Mandatory Payment was added
whereby within 3 trading days of the closing upon the Merger an amount equal to the lesser of (A) one-third of the amount retained in
the Trust Account at the Effective Time or (B) $ 10,000,000 ,
in order to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Senior Note; after which the remaining balance of the Senior Note is to
be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on a date after the Merger Agreement closing date (“Closing
Date”) or the termination of such agreement. All payments made shall be subject to an Exit Fee of 15 %
of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid. Additionally, if the Closing Date is after December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance
of all indebtedness owed by the Company to December 2021 Investor will be increased automatically by 2% and will automatically increase
by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the Closing, a termination, or substantially similar terms as approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company. Additional
key modifications include i) uplist terms in which the Company was to cause the common stock to be listed for trading on either of (a)
NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ, were removed, ii) Maturity date was modified from December 15, 2023 to 12 months from the Closing or termination
of the Merger Agreement, provided not to be later than September 30, 2024, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Senior Note may be
increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender
for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”) .
As of June 30, 2023, the Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30, 2023,
in the amount of approximately $ 2,675,000 .
On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the Merger Agreement (See Note 11). Based on the
termination in July of 2023, the equal monthly payments were to begin on September 20, 2023 . On November 20, 2023, the Investor
issued a waiver to the Company on the equal monthly payments, which are not currently required to be paid .
The
Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include the Company
fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the Lenders written consent, the Company effectuates
a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to Lender, 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 Investor may consider the 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 Note increases from 5%
to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default . As of September 30, 2023, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants
and Events of Default.
The
Restructured Senior Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the conversion feature has been eliminated and therefore the modified
Senior Note is determined to be fundamentally different from the original convertible note. As such, with the removal of the original
note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $ 18,914,000 ,
there was a gain in extinguishment of approximately $ 2,540,000 . As of the restructuring date the derivative had a fair value of $ 12,290,000 ,
based on assumptions used in a bi-nomial option pricing model, which resulted in a change in fair value of $ 17,738,000 as of the restructuring
date, from its previous fair value of $ 30,028,000 . The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s
common stock of $ 0.16 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 3.73 % and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock,
of 117.77 %, and the strike price of $ 0.1017 .
16
As
a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the Company will account for
the Restructured Senior Note at fair value every period end until it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument
that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur
should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the Company did not evaluate the provisions in the Restructured Senior Note
as to whether they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The Restructured Senior Note was
revalued as of September 30, 2023 at approximately $ 21,680,000 , with a change in fair value of approximately $ 390,000 recognized in the
Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated Statement of Operations. The Senior Note was revalued as of March 31, 2023, at approximately
$ 21,290,000 , with a change in fair value of approximately $ 2,376,000 recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statement
of Operations. As of September 30, 2023, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value is approximately
$ 4,201,000 .

NOTE
10 – LEASE
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 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,

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 %.

subsidiary of Yotta (the “Merger”). In addition, Yotta was to be renamed “NaturalShrimp, Incorporated” or such
other name as shall be designated by the Company.
On
July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(b) thereof
based on breaches by Yotta of certain representations in the Merger Agreement that would render impossible the satisfaction of certain
conditions to the Company’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In particular, Yotta
will not be able to comply with the provision of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that prohibits Yotta from consummating
an initial business combination unless it has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon consummation of such initial business combination.
This conflicts with Yotta’s representation in the Merger Agreement that its consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement will not conflict with its organizational documents. The Company also cited delays in the SEC registration process that
are attributable to Yotta, which breached its covenant pursuant to the Merger Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to take all
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by Merger Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable.
Per the Merger Agreement, if one of the parties validly terminates the Merger Agreement there will be a Breakup Fee of $ 3,000,000 to
be paid to them by the other party. The Breakup Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but instead is liquidated damages to compensate
the party which requests the termination, to not have any further liability with respect to the Merger Agreement. As of this filing date,
Yotta has not responded to the Company’s notice of termination and the Company has not sought payment of the Breakup Fee beyond
the July 20 th notice.
