WQLF Analysis continued

The shares added to the outstanding since the Quarter ending on September 30, 2024 included 1,421,067 common shares converted from notes. There was 175,000 issued for consultants. These shares were added to the float along with the 719,709 shares by the 5 investors after the failed 3:1 preferred conversion proposal and the 6:1 proposal. Why would the note holders and the 5 investors convert to common shares of their shares would be wiped out from a 13:1 preferred share conversion? I will bet they converted to make sure the 13:1 and the reverse split are voted down.

WQLF ANALYSIS :

Double Wammy. Not only did the company deter the common shareholders to vote no to the preferred conversion of 13:1, they also wanted the common shareholders to vote for a 1:3 or 1:10 reverse split. Both proposals surely to guarantee a no vote for both proposals. Could that be the reason the common shareholders didn’t sell off after hours? I do think so in my opinion from my analysis and common sense. Let’s take a look at the outstanding shares from the 3:1 conversion proposal that didn’t pass the muster. There were 2,960,576 outstanding common shares during the rejection.

The following Quarter ending on 12/31/23 the outstanding common shares increased to 2,961,056. Only 480 shares were added.

The following Quarter ending on 3/31/24 increased to 3,045,204. An increase of 84,148 shares. During this period of time the proxy vote for a 6:1 conversion was proposed.

The Outstanding common shares as of January 14, 2025 was 6,262,833. That is an increase of 3,217,729 shares. Over a 100 percent increase.

Is the increase of common shares a ploy to get a yes or no vote for the conversion? The investors decided to convert by a total of 719,709 shares. If the plan was to get the Outstanding shares above the 50 percent who would lose and who would win. The common shareholders would lose and the preferred shareholders would win along with the CEO who has a lot of preferred shares. Who are the other 2.3 million shareholders not including the investors that bought shares? They will definitely lose if the conversion is passed in the affirmative.

Conclusion: The answer to the premise will be from the price per share of the common shares. If it goes down drastically, the premise would be that the conversion will be passed. If the common shares price per share increases, then the preferred conversion and the reverse split will not pass muster. IMHO

WQLF SAYS: The company set the preferred conversion shares ratio at 13:1 for a proxy vote in April. The key to observe is if the common shareholders panic at sell. The common shareholders are currently not panicking. If the proxy for the conversion is similar to last years 3:1 proposal the passing of the conversion would have to be the majority of the common shareholders and 2/3 td of the preferred shareholders. If the common shareholders hold on to their shares and vote no in the majority then it doesn’t matter what the preferred shareholders vote is. I am going to analyze the common shares that were converted by the lenders and the outstanding shares prior to their common shares conversion. I find it suspicious that the company jumped the preferred conversion to such a higher ratio of 13:1. If the common shareholders hold tightly in order to vote down the offer, that should be apparent by the price per share in the near future. I would hate to be the holders of the preferred that are buying at the current price, if the proposal is rejected by the common shareholders. The preferred shares are going for $1.74 at the moment on low volume.

T. Ronan Kennedy, Chief Financial Officer

YCBD market cap is at 3.32 Million at closing on Friday February 7. The closing price of Common shares at $.53 cents and the Preferred at $1.04. The Outstanding Shares are at 6.26 Million and the Implied Outstanding Shares are listed at 6.69 Million. The Preferred Shares are at 5 million. It appears that the market cap is undervalued at 3.32 million because the price per share is set at the price per share after a 3:1 preferred conversion. After the hypothetical scenario of a 3:1 conversion the total common shares would be set at 15 million plus the current 6.69 million implied outstanding shares. Totaling 21.69 million implied outstanding shares. At $.53 cents per share the market cap would be at 11.5 million. Currently CVSI has close to 16 million dollars in revenue. It has a current market cap of 7.37 million. That is at a ratio of $.46 cents. 7.37 divided by 16 equals $.46 cents. In relation to YCBD’s market cap after a 3:1 conversion, 21.7 million at $.53 cents with revenues around 20 million dollars and a proposed market cap at 11.5. 11.5 divided by 20 million dollars equals $.58 cents. The difference between CVSI of $.46 and YCBD of $.53 is a difference of $.07 cents. In order to even the market cap to the market cap ratio of CVSI $.46 cents the market cap of YCBD’s annual revenue of $20 million dollars and implied outstanding shares of 21.69 million, the price per share of$.53 cents. The market cap of 9.2 million would be the equivalent. 9.2 divided by 20 equals a ratio of $.46 cents. Therefore in conclusion. If YCBD converts their preferred shares at a ratio of 3:1 the price per share of the common shares of 21.26 million will be set at around $.43 cents per share. 21.26 times $.435 per share equals a market cap of 9.25 million. Caveat emptor. If you buy the preferred shares at the current price of $1.04 per share, after the premise of a 3:1 conversion rate, your 3 shares would be equal to a cost of .3467 cents per the three shares. After the premise of a 3:1 conversion and the price per share is set at $.435 cents then you are ahead by close to 7 cents per share. This comes to a 20 percent premium / profit. The pumpers on the yahoo message board claim you will be making a premium / profit of 250 percent. That is far from the truth. They are correct that you will make a profit by buying Preferred over the common, but their bloated claims are incorrect. One of the two pumpers on the board claim that you will also get a portion of the deferred dividends. That is TRULY misleading. Once you convert, the accumulated dividends are not passed on to the preferred shareholders. If you recall, not too long ago the preferred shares hit a low of $.31 per share. This corresponds to the .3467 cents that my analysis came up to if one purchased at the current price of $1.04 per share. If the price of the commons are priced at $.435 after a hypothetical 3:1 conversion, the most you will want to pay for the preferred shares before a conversion would be at $1.30. That would make your 3 shares equal to $.435. $.435 times 3 equals $1.305.

CBDMD Preferred Stock Conversion

cbdMD, Inc. offers 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which can be converted into common shares at a conversion price of $6.00 per share. Holders can convert their preferred shares into common shares at their option, or cbdMD can convert them if the trading price of its common stock equals or exceeds $8.25 per share for at least 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading days ending five days prior to the date of notice of conversion.
The conversion ratio is set at the time of issuance and determines how many common shares an investor receives for each preferred share. For example, if the conversion ratio is 1:1, each preferred share can be converted into one common share.
Conversion rights provide preferred shareholders with the potential for greater returns through the conversion of preferred shares into common shares, which may offer greater potential for capital appreciation. However, this also comes with risks, such as the potential loss of fixed dividend payments and the possibility that common shares may not appreciate in value as expected.
The latest offering of $14.3 million worth of 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock was priced at $7.50 per share, with cbdMD expecting to receive gross proceeds of $14,348,250 from the offering.
Conversion rights allow preferred shareholders to convert their shares into common shares, offering the potential for greater returns but also carrying risks related to the performance of the common stock.
Conversion rights are an important provision for preferred shareholders, offering the potential for greater returns through the conversion of preferred shares into common shares. However, investors should carefully consider the risks and benefits before deciding to exercise their conversion rights.“

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 (the “2024 10-K”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2024 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment to amend Part III of the Original Filing to include the information required by and not included in Part III of the Original Filing because we no longer intend to file a definitive proxy statement which involves the election of directors within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The information required by Part III was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in Part III to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement which involves the election of directors if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after the end of our fiscal year.

Part IV of the Original Filing is being amended solely to add as exhibits certain new certifications by our co-principal executive officers and our principal financial officer in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and our other filings made with the SEC on or subsequent to December 18, 2024.

WQLF SAYS: The conversion of the remaining $56,000 resulted in an increase of 109,992 Shares at a strike price of $.5091 cents per share. Did they along with the others hold their converted shares or sell off into the Fluff News? If they sold their 109,992 shares at today’s high of $.79 cents per share they would have netted $30,907 USD. YQU make the call. Have Mercy WQLF Ahooooooo

The previous conversions of $309,00 and a total of 609,717 Shares at $.5068 cents per share. If sold at $.79 cents per share would net $177,427 USD Most likely they sold.

WQLF ANALYSIS ;

The price of the preferred shares prior to the 1 for 3 conversion on August 2, 2023. The bottom number being Volume. The price went down drastically. From around $3.00 to around $1.00 per share. If you get 3 shares at $2.00 it comes to $6.00 per share. That is the conversion amount listed for a conversion. When the company later offered 1 for 6 conversion, the price per share was around $1.00 giving a $6.00 per share conversion. The dividends would not be paid according to the company’s agreement. That vote was never consummated according to the company because it did not have enough votes. The present day price of the preferred shares is around $.90. There were shares purchased on Wednesday before trading at $1.12. If the preferred shares continue to rise the company will most likely have an offering to convert at a 1-3, at $2.00, a 1-4 at $1.50 and 1-6 at $1.00. If the preferred price reaches $3.00 then a 1-2 is probable in my opinion.

WQLF FACTS; Deja Vu

Charlotte, North Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - August 22, 2023) - cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD) (NYSE American: YCBDpA) today announced that its Board of Directors has suspended the monthly cash dividend payment on the Company's 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") beginning with the month ending August 31, 2023, as the Company conserves cash in order to continue its efforts to increase sales, develop additional products, continue research and development and attempt to achieve profitability. The dividends on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock have been suspended until such time as the Board of directors deem that the Company has sufficient working capital to restore the payment of the dividends.

Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock any unpaid dividends, including the unpaid dividends for the month ending August 31, 2023 and any future unpaid dividends, will accumulate. Whenever dividends on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of 12 or more monthly dividend periods, whether or not for consecutive months, the authorized number of directors on the Company's Board of Directors shall, at the next annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders, automatically be increased by two and holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the Board of Directors.

The suspension of the monthly dividends does not affect the listing on the NYSE American of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American, subject to the Company's continued compliance with the NYSE American's listing standards. However, the suspension may impact our ability to raise capital under a Registration Statement on Form S-3.

The board of the Company has recently adopted resolutions to amend the Company's Certificate of Designation (the "Series A Certificate of Designation") for the Series A Preferred Stock to provide that each share of Series A Preferred will be automatically converted into three shares of common stock (the "Series A Amendment"). The Company is holding a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the Series A Amendment on September 22, 2023. The Series A Amendment requires: (1) the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company's common stock present, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the special meeting and (2) the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-third (2/3) of the Company's outstanding shares of Series A Preferred. In the event the Series A Amendment is approved, holders of the Series A Preferred would receive three shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred and no longer own any Series A Preferred Stock, or hold any of the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred or be entitled to any accrued dividend payments, if any.

The Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the NYSE American and trades under the ticker symbol "YCBD.pA."

Can Shareholders Convert Preferred Shares

“Convertible preferred shares give their holders the option to convert them into a set amount of common stock shares after a defined date. However, callable preferred shares can be redeemed by the issuer at a set price after a defined date. Once the call date has passed, if the preferred shares are callable, the issuer has the right to buy back the shares at a predetermined price. This redemption by the issuer can prevent shareholders from converting their preferred shares into common stock if the issuer exercises the call option.
If the shares are retractable instead of callable, the owner can sell the share back to the issuer at a set price or, in some cases, exchange the shares for common stock of the issuer. This is referred to as a “soft” retraction, compared to a “hard” retraction where cash is paid out to the shareholders.
In summary, whether shareholders can convert their preferred shares after the call date depends on the specific terms of the preferred stock. If the shares are callable and the issuer exercises the call option, shareholders may not be able to convert their shares into common stock.“

Preferred Stock Dividend Interest

“Preferred shares are handled in acquisitions with specific considerations for their rights and privileges. Here are the key points:
Dividend Rights: Preferred shareholders typically have a higher claim on dividends compared to common shareholders. If a company is liquidated, bondholders are paid first, followed by preferred shareholders, and then common shareholders. In an acquisition, the terms of the preferred shares, including dividend rights, are outlined in the articles of association or incorporation.
Voting Rights: Preferred shares usually do not carry voting rights, but they may revert to shareholders who have not received their dividend in some agreements. In an acquisition, preferred shareholders might have special voting rights to approve extraordinary events, such as the issuance of new shares or the approval of a company acquisition.
Conversion Rights: Preferred shares are often converted to common shares with the completion of an initial public offering or acquisition. This conversion allows preferred shareholders to become common shareholders, potentially gaining voting rights and a share of the company’s profits.
Tax Treatment: Dividends on preferred shares are often taxed at a lower rate than bond interest, which can be advantageous for investors. In an acquisition, the tax treatment of dividends and the conversion of preferred shares to common shares can impact the overall return for investors.
Refinancing: Issuers may call their preferred stock to avoid making future dividend payments or to refinance their preferred stock at a lower interest rate. This can be a strategic move in an acquisition to manage the company’s financial structure and reduce interest expenses.
In summary, preferred shares are a hybrid security that combines features of both equity and debt. During an acquisition, their handling is governed by the specific terms outlined in the company’s articles of association, focusing on dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, tax treatment, and refinancing opportunities.“

"Under his stewardship, the Company has made tremendous progress in optimizing its cost structure, improving operational fundamentals, and positioning itself for long-term success. As we head into 2025 with a stronger cash position and exciting growth opportunities, we are thrilled to welcome Ronan to the Board, where we believe his strategic insight and deep understanding of the business will further enhance our ability to deliver value to shareholders."

“ For Fiscal 2024, we continued to make strong progress on our turnaround. The Company incurred a loss from operations of only $3.3 million, or a $19.1 million year-over-year improvement from the $22.9 million loss in the prior year. This is the second consecutive year of strong financial and operational improvements, accomplished despite revenue challenges.

"We made tremendous strides in strengthening our operational foundation and moving closer to our goal of profitability," said Ronan Kennedy, CEO and CFO of cbdMD. "While the fourth quarter presented temporary revenue headwinds, for the fiscal year we successfully executed key initiatives to lower our operating costs, including the elimination and settlement of our headquarter (HQ) lease obligations, and strengthening our cash position through disciplined working capital management and outside investment. With revenues rebounding, we project Q1 fiscal 2025 revenues to approach $5 million, putting us back on track to accelerate our growth trajectory."

Kennedy continued: "We are laser-focused on delivering positive non-GAAP EBITDA in fiscal 2025.”

Delta 9 THC Drink Mixer

https://www.cbdmd.com/products/delta-9-thc-drink-mixer

Is Delta 9 THC Legal?
Short answer: when it’s derived from hemp in concentrations of less than 0.3% by dry weight, yes!

In 2018 Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill, which removed hemp as a federally controlled substance. It also says that any hemp and hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight are considered federally legal in the United States. By this definition, all of our Delta 9 THC products are federally compliant under the standards set by the 2018 Farm Bill. Let’s do the math:

One cbdMD Delta 9 THC gummy weighs about 6 grams, or 6000 milligrams.
If we take 0.003 (which is 0.3%) and multiply that by 6000, we are left with 18 milligrams.
That means that according to the Farm Bill, a 6 gram gummy can contain up to 18 mg of hemp-derived Delta 9 THC.
We formulated our Delta 9 gummies with only 10 mg of Delta 9 THC, which means the amount of THC we use in our gummies is well below the legal amount.
But don’t worry, you’ll still feel it working

We test each of our product batches at independent ISO 17025 certified labs (this just means that the lab is accredited for product testing, sampling, and calibration) to ensure quality and consistency. We also provide those test results right on our product pages so you can see what exactly is in each batch yourself.

Some restrictions may apply. Not for sale where hemp extract Delta-9-THC is prohibited by law. Check your local laws before purchase.

What Are the Benefits of Delta 9 THC?
initial and ongoing research suggests that Delta 9 THC can be used to provide support in sleep quality, physical discomfort, balance, and overall mood. While THC has been widely known for its recreational uses, many people rely on it for its wellness benefits.Similarly to CBD, Delta 9 THC interacts with your endocannabinoid system, or ECS. The ECS is known for regulating your body’s natural balance or homeostasis. That is why THC, like CBD, can have an effect on a whole host of things like sleep, mood, and appetite, because those functions all contribute to your body’s natural homeostatic balance.

The entourage effect happens when multiple different kinds of cannabinoids, like CBD and THC, work together within your body. It causes a “heightened effect,” meaning you will feel the benefits more than if you just took THC or CBD alone. The great thing about our Delta 9 THC formula, which we call our “high potency full spectrum formula,” is that it provides you with a full plant profile of cannabinoids and terpenes with up to 10 mg of THC so you get the best of both worlds. The Delta 9 product line is great for those looking for enhanced relaxation, restful sleep, and elevated moods.

Flexibility in Preferred Share Dividend Disbursement

“Dividend payment flexibility: Preferred stock dividends are not fixed and can change or be stopped. Companies may suspend or reduce dividend payments if they face financial difficulties or other challenges.
Cumulative vs. non-cumulative: Cumulative preferred shares ensure that accrued dividends are still owed to shareholders even if they are withheld. Non-cumulative preferred shares do not have this guarantee, and unpaid dividends may be lost.
Callability: Preferred shares can be callable, meaning the issuing company can redeem them at a predetermined price. This can lead to changes in dividend payments or even elimination of dividends.
Bankruptcy priority: In the event of bankruptcy, preferred shareholders have priority over common shareholders for receiving payments, but after bondholders.
In summary, preferred shares dividends can:

Be lowered or reduced due to company financial difficulties or other circumstances
Be suspended or eliminated temporarily or permanently
Be accrued and owed to shareholders, even if not immediately paid (cumulative preferred shares)
Be eliminated or reduced if the issuing company exercises its call option
However, preferred shareholders still have priority over common shareholders in bankruptcy proceedings and may receive back payments for withheld dividends if the company’s financial situation improves.“

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 23, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), cbdMD, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”), to amend (i) its outstanding 8% Senior Secured Original Issue 20% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes with an original issuance date of January 30, 2024 (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), issued by the Company to five institutional investors (the “Holders”) and (ii) the Security Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Holders dated January 30, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”).

As previously disclosed, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, CBD Industries, LLC (“CBD Industries”), filed a cancellation proceeding before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) against Majik Medicine, LLC (“Majik”), in April 2019 to cancel Majik’s issued supplemental register trademark for “CBD MD” (the “Limited Mark”) on multiple grounds and Majik filed certain counter claims under a matter pending in United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the “Majik Claims”). On the Effective Date the Company and CBD Industries entered into a Settlement, Purchase and Release Agreement with Majik (the “Purchase Agreement”) and acquired the Limited Mark in consideration of the payments described below and the Company and Majik agreed to jointly execute and file a voluntary dismissal with prejudice for the proceedings relating to the Majik Claims. Furthermore, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement each party released the other from all claims relating to the Majik Claims. The Company paid Majik $100,000 on the date of the Purchase Agreement and shall pay Majik $50,000 on each one-year anniversary of the Purchase Agreement for a period of four years (the “Additional Payments”). In the event the Company fails to make an Additional Payment, the Limited Mark shall be reassigned to Majik. The Company also issued Majik 75,000 shares of common stock on the Effective Date (the “Initial Shares”) and will issue Majik 50,000 additional shares of common stock on the one-year anniversary of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Company entered into a five-year consulting agreement with Majik. Under the agreement Majik shall provide nonexclusive consulting services to solicit and refer a specific business vertical wholesale customer base of Licensed Practitioners who provide clinical services to individuals and receive a 15% commission on any annual increase of net sales relating to new sales to such Licensed Practitioners. This is a wholesale customer base the Company has been unable to exploit which has positive potential. The Company believes securing the Limited Mark enhances the Company’s overall IP portfolio and removes the procedural impediments at TTAB to facilitate the issuance of additional marks for the Company’s brands and avoids continued costly litigation which would otherwise be required to secure the Limited Mark. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Majik also appointed William Raines III, an independent member of the Company’s board of directors, as the proxy for Majik for the Initial Shares, for twelve months from the Effective Date.

The Amendment (i) amends the Note to include the pledge of the Limited Mark as a Permitted Lien (as defined under the Note) and include the Additional Payments as a Permitted Indebtedness (as defined under the Note); and (ii) amends the Security Agreement to revise the definition of Excluded Assets (as defined under the Security Agreement) to include the Limited Mark until the Company completes the Additional Payments.“

WQLF SAYS; Is the company going to cut the dividend or eliminate it completely? Have Mercy WQLF Ahooooooo

“If the magnitude of the dividend cut is less than anticipated:

Dividend reductions generally do not come as a surprise, since management may telegraph its intentions to conserve cash well in advance of the actual cut. In some instances, if the magnitude of the dividend cut is less than what investors had been bracing themselves for, the stock may sell off only modestly. It may even rally in certain instances if investors approve of management's decision and view the cash conservation policy favorably.“

Do preferred shareholders vote for dividend reductions

“Based on the search results, preferred shareholders typically do not have voting rights, including voting on dividend reductions. Preferred stockholders usually have limited or no say in corporate governance, whereas common stockholders have voting rights.

Key Points:

Preferred stockholders do not have voting rights, including voting on dividend reductions (e.g., Rules and Rights of Common and Preferred Stock: Voting Right, What Is Preferred Stock? - Fidelity, “Preferred Stock vs. Common Stock: What’s the Difference?”, What Are Preference Shares and What Are the Types of Preferred Stock?)
Preferred shareholders have priority over common stockholders when it comes to dividends, but they do not participate in voting decisions (e.g., Preferred Stock Voting Rights)
Cumulative preferred stock may have provisions for missed dividend payments, but this does not involve voting rights (e.g., What Are Preference Shares and What Are the Types of Preferred Stock?)
In Summary: Preferred shareholders do not vote on dividend reductions or any other corporate governance matters. Their primary focus is on receiving priority dividends and having a higher claim on company assets in case of liquidation or bankruptcy.“

WQLF SAYS; There were five institution investors according to the Q-2. According to the current 8-k press release, several (3) of the investors converted their notes into common shares. The two remaining with a value of approximately $1,075,000 have yet to convert. If and when they do, the company will most likely send out a proxy for the offer to the preferred shareholders. In my opinion it will be no greater than a 1 for 3 conversion and no less than a 1 for 2. Have Mercy WQLF Ahooooooo

“ During the quarter, several convertible promissory notes holders elected to convert some of their accrued interested and principal balance, resulting in 714,229 common shares being issued during the third fiscal quarter of 2024. Approximately $1.075 million remains on the principal balance of the promissory notes.”



“Effective February 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with five institutional investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Investors advanced the Company an aggregate of $1,250,000 gross proceeds and the Company issued each Investor an 8% Senior Secured Original Issue 20% Discount Convertible Promissory Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,541,666 (the “Notes”).

WQLF SAYS: The institution investor(s) received 714,229 common shares at an aggregate amount of $1,378,000. The strike price in the agreement is $0.684. The Institution investors converted at a price of $1.929. Why would they accept this offer unless they believe in my opinion that the shares are worth this amount. The $1.92 price per share times 4 million Implied Outstanding shares comes to a market cap of $7.68 million. The remaining convertible notes at the same rate would add another 557,283 shares. A total of 1,271,512 shares of voting rights for any preferred conversion price.

In the recent earnings report, the $2.702.000 convertible notes issued in Q-2 now remains at $1,075,000 according to the 8-k press release. The Q-3 shows $1,378,000 remaining. The recent conversions of $1,627,000 of convertible notes resulted in 714,229 shares.


“In April 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 714,229 shares of common stock pursuant to the partial conversion of certain principal and interest related to the Notes.”

“ During the quarter, several convertible promissory notes holders elected to convert some of their accrued interested and principal balance, resulting in 714,229 common shares being issued during the third fiscal quarter of 2024. Approximately $1.075 million remains on the principal balance of the promissory notes.”


“ Effective February 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with five institutional investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Investors advanced the Company an aggregate of $1,250,000 gross proceeds and the Company issued each Investor an 8% Senior Secured Original Issue 20% Discount Convertible Promissory Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,541,666 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Each Note bears interest of 8% per annum and matures on July 30, 2025. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at any time following the date of issuance at the Investor’s option at an initial conversion price of $0.684 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain adjustments. If 30 calendar days, 60 calendar days, 90 calendar days, 120 calendar days, or 180 calendar days after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below) (the “Adjustment Dates”), the Conversion Price then in effect is higher than the Market Conversion Price then in effect on the Adjustment Date, the Conversion Price shall automatically decrease to the Market Conversion Price (as defined under the Note). The Conversion Price is subject to a $0.30 floor price.

Furthermore, at any time after the issuance of the Note, the Company may, after written notice to the Investor, prepay any portion or all outstanding Principal Amount by paying an amount equal to 125% of the Principal Amount then being prepaid (representing a 25% prepayment premium payable to the Investor which shall not constitute a principal repayment); provided that a Registration Statement registering all of the Conversion Shares issuable under the Note shall have been declared effective. If the Company elects to prepay the Note, the Investor shall have the right, upon written notice to the Company within five Trading Days of the Investor’s receipt of a Prepayment Notice, to convert into common stock, up to 100% of the Prepayment Amount at the Conversion Price, upon the terms provided in the Note.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Note), the Interest rate shall automatically be increased to the lesser of 22% per annum or the highest amount permitted by law. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured (and no other Event of Default then exists), the adjustment shall cease to be effective as of the day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

In addition, upon the occurrence of Event of Default, which has not been cured within any applicable cure period, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Investor the Mandatory Default Amount, which Mandatory Default Amount shall be payable to the Investor on the date the Event of Default giving rise thereto occurs. In the event the Note shall be converted following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Investor shall have the option to convert the Mandatory Default Amount, upon the terms provided in the Note.

The Note provides that the Investor will not have the right to convert any portion of the Note, if, together with its affiliates, and any other party whose holdings would be aggregated with those of the Investor for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities of 1934, as amended, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be increased to 9.99% on the 61st day upon receipt of a written notice by the Investor delivered to the Company, and provided further, in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.

The Notes are secured by a first priority security interest as evidenced by and to the extent set forth in a Security Agreement, by and between the Company and the Investors.

The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 Fair Value Measurements for the Notes. The Notes were initially recognized at fair value on the balance sheet. All subsequent changes in fair value, excluding the impact of the change in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk are recorded in non-operating income. The changes in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).

The overall change in fair value of the Notes during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was a increase of $1.7 million. As at March 31, 2024, there was $1,541,666 principal outstanding.

Convertible Notes

“Effective February 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with five institutional investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Investors advanced the Company an aggregate of $1,250,000 gross proceeds and the Company issued each Investor an 8% Senior Secured Original Issue 20% Discount Convertible Promissory Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,541,666 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes.“

WQLF SAYS;
You are welcome CB. Here is some more things to consider. The plan by management in my opinion is to harness the two thirds votes in order to get the preferred shareholders along with the common shareholders to agree to convert their shares to commons. The companies stealth plan appears to be issuing convertible notes to private investors that can be converted into common shares in order to get to the two thirds threshold. In the recent earnings report, the $2.702.000 convertible notes issued in Q-2 now remains at $1,075,000 according to the 8-k press release. The Q-3 shows $1,378,000. The recent conversions of $1,627,000 resulted in 714,000 shares.

“In April 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 714,229 shares of common stock pursuant to the partial conversion of certain principal and interest related to the Notes.”

“ During the quarter, several convertible promissory notes holders elected to convert some of their accrued interested and principal balance, resulting in 714,229 common shares being issued during the third fiscal quarter of 2024. Approximately $1.075 million remains on the principal balance of the promissory notes.”

When and if the remaining convertible notes of $1,075,000 are converted into common shares, it would add another 512,000 shares. The aggregate of the two convertible shares will be around 1.226 million shares. The implied outstanding is at 4 million and the preferred is at 5 Million. The company seems to know how many shares they need to get the proxy voted on. Since August 1,2023, the cutoff date for the last vote, the total volume of preferred shares traded since then totaled 2.8 million shares. A 1.4 million share turnover. Who is to say that those shares are in the hands of preferred shareholders that are willing to vote for the 1 for 3 shares proposed deal. If the vote is once again defeated, will the company go into debt and offer another round of convertible notes to investors until they reach the two thirds threshold. With the current 4 million implied outstanding shares, it only takes 2 million of the 5 million preferred shareholders to agree to the 1 for 3 share offer. The total shares of the preferred and common is at 9 million shares. It will take 6 million shares in the affirmative to pass. I own close to 1 percent of the Outstanding shares. Good luck and keep the Faith. WQLF Ahooooooo
