HEALTHCARE INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2021
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a healthcare technology company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We are creating a diversified spectrum of healthcare technology solutions to integrate and automate the continuing care, home care and professional healthcare spaces.
Our initial product, SafeSpace™ with AI Vision™, is an ambient fall detection solution designed for continuing care communities and at home use. SafeSpace includes hardware devices utilizing RGB, radar and other sensor technology coupled with our internally developed software to effectively monitor a person remotely. In continuing care communities, SafeSpace detects resident falls and generates alerts to a centralized, intelligent dashboard without the use of wearable devices or any action by the resident. In the home, SafeSpace detects falls and sends alerts directly to designated individuals.
In addition to SafeSpace, we are creating a home concierge healthcare service application to provide a virtual assisted living experience for seniors, recently released postoperative patients, and others. The concierge application will enable the consumer to obtain home healthcare services and health and safety monitoring equipment to improve quality of life. We are also working to develop a fully integrated solution for the professional healthcare community that integrates electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and other items where integration is beneficial.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include those of Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts may be reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Risk and Uncertainties
Factors that could affect our future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from management’s expectation include, but are not limited to: our ability to maintain and secure adequate capital to fund our operations and fully develop our product(s); our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns; acceptance of the terms and conditions of our licenses and/or the acceptance of our royalties and fees; the nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations; changes in the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts; changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business. Negative developments in these or other risk factors could have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s future financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022.
F-5 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of demand deposits with a financial institution. The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institution to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. No loss has been experienced and management does not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at their historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for uncollectible accounts. We routinely assess the recoverability of all customer and other receivables to determine their collectability and record a reserve when, based on the judgement of management, it is probably that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of the reserve may be reasonably estimated. When collection is no longer pursued, we charge uncollectable accounts receivable against the reserve.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized while minor replacements and maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of such assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method which depreciates the assets over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets ranging from five to seven years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
F-6 |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents, our website and the costs of software developed for internal use. Certain payroll and stock-based compensation costs incurred are allocated to the intangible assets. We determine the amount of costs to be capitalized based on the time spent by employees or outside contractors on the projects. Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining life is changed, the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. We did not recognize any impairment losses during any of the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Derivative Liability
Options, warrants, convertible notes, or other contracts, if any, are evaluated to determine if those contracts, or embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise, or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
F-7 |
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two- step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
We utilize a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative liability and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. We record the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company had derivative liabilities of $75,935 and $108,232 as October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the Company follows the five-step model provided by ASC Topic 606 in order to recognize revenue in the following manner: 1) Identify the contract; 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price of the contract; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue. An entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue recognition policies remained unchanged as a result of the adoption of ASC 606, and there were no significant changes in business processes or systems.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs.” We incurred advertising and marketing costs of $10,704 and $1,975 for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated financial statements.
We determine basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased, if the earnings are positive, to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been exercised.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for share-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans, if any, in accordance with ASC 718.
Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expense is included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
F-8 |
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. See Note 13.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and that changes thereafter be reflected in income (loss). The estimation of fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed involves several estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (1) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (2) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.
In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the reporting periods presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this guidance and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
F-9 |
In August 2020, the FASB 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. The amendments in Update No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Update No. 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, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these interim consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had net losses of $415,053 for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and $1,455,025 for its most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. As of October 31, 2021, the Company has minimal cash and a significant working capital deficit. We have a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, have negative working capital and have not generated cash from our operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the development, marketing and sales of a viable product to achieve a level of profitability. We intend to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs from the sale of private and public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Although the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise additional capital, there can be no assurances to that effect. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

5% Convertible Promissory Notes
On various dates during the month of March 2018, we issued a series of 5% Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively, the “5% Notes”) totaling $750,000 in net proceeds. We incurred no costs related to the issuance of the 5% Notes. The 5% Notes bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually and matured one-year from the date of issuance. At October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021, accrued but unpaid interest on the 5% Notes was $62,985 and $58,282, respectively, which is included in “accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets.
The 5% Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at a fixed ratio of two shares of common stock per dollar amount of the face value of the note. The principal terms under which the 5% Notes may be converted into common stock of the Company are as follows:
● | At the option of the holder, the outstanding principal amount of the note, and any accrued but unpaid interest due, may be converted into the Company’s common stock at any time prior to the maturity date of the note. | |
● | The outstanding principal amount of the note, and any accrued but unpaid interest due, will automatically be converted into the Company’s common stock if at any time prior to the maturity date of the note, the Company concludes a sale of equity securities in a private offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $1,000,000. |
There were no 5% Notes converted during the three months ended October 31, 2021. 5% Notes with a face amount of $275,000 and accrued interest expense of $42,531 were converted, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. On October 31, 2021, 5% Notes with a face amount of $325,000 and related accrued interest expense of $62,985 are currently in default and are not convertible under the conversion terms. Management is currently negotiating amendments to the notes in default to extend the maturity dates of such notes and to encourage note conversions.
Note Payable to Acorn Management Partners, LLC
On August 11, 2020 we agreed to repurchase shares of our common stock from Acorn Management Partners, LLC (“AMP”). As consideration for the share repurchase, we issued a $50,000 promissory note bearing interest a 6.0% per annum and due -year from the date of issuance (the “AMP Note”). In the event we default under the terms of the AMP Note, we are required to deliver shares of our common stock back to AMP in full satisfaction of the obligation. The purchased shares were delivered by AMP directly to the transfer agent on September 8, 2020 and immediately cancelled. Accrued but unpaid interest on the AMP Note at October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021 was $3,669 and $2,919, respectively, which is included in “accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets. On August 27, 2021, AMP agreed to extend the maturity date of the AMP Note from August 11, 2021 until November 11, 2021. We incurred no costs related to the extension.

Note Payable to AJB Capital Investments, LLC
On February 2, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB Capital”), pursuant to which AJB Capital purchased a Promissory Note (the “AJB Note”) in the principal amount of $360,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $320,400. The AJB Note accrues interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and matured on August 2, 2021. At our option, the maturity date of the note could be extended for six (6) months. Upon extension of the maturity date, the AJB Note interest rate increases to twelve percent (12%) per annum during the extension period. We recorded a debt discount of $59,300 related to original issue discount and issuance cost of the note. On August 9, 2021, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of the AJB Note to February 2, 2022. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments and the principal balance is due in a single lump sum payment on the maturity date.
In the event of default, the AJB Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 90% (representing a 10% discount) multiplied by the lowest trading price (i) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the issuance date of the note, or (ii) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the date of conversion of the note. We recorded a debt discount of $100,700 related to the conversion feature of the AJB Note.
As additional consideration for the purchase of the AJB Note, we issued AJB Capital 200,000 grant date fair value of the shares was recorded as a debt discount. On September 14, 2021, we entered into a Settlement and Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AJB Capital for a potential event of default relating to subsequent equity transactions. As part of the Agreement, we agreed to issue AJB Capital an additional shares of our common stock for its $200,000 origination fee owed under the terms of the original AJB Note and SPA. shares of our common stock as an origination fee. The $
Total unamortized debt discount related to the AJB Note at October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021 was $90,000 and $180,000, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2021, we amortized $90,000 of debt discount, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no amortization of debt discount for the three months ended October 31, 2020.
NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
On February 2, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB Capital”), pursuant to which AJB Capital purchased a Promissory Note (the “AJB Note”) in the principal amount of $360,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $320,400 (See Note 7). In the event of default, the AJB Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. We identified certain conversion features embedded in the AJB Note that represent a derivative liability.
The following table summarizes the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended October 31, 2021:

During the three months ended October 31, 2021, the fair value of the derivative feature of the AJB Note was calculated using the following range of assumptions:
Expected volatility of underlying stock | 70.4 | % | ||
Expected term (in years) | .25 | |||

As of October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021, the derivative liability related to the AJB Note was $75,935 and $108,232, respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2021, we recorded income of $32,297 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability. There was no change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended October 31, 2020.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes as reported, and the amount computed by multiplying net loss by the federal statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Net deferred tax asset, as reported | $ | $ |
In assessing the realizable value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become tax deductible. Based on management’s assessment of objective and subjective evidence, we have concluded at this time it is more likely than not that all of our deferred tax asset will not be realized and we have provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset. At July 31, 2021, our most recently completed fiscal year, we have approximately $3.16 million in federal and state net operating loss carryovers that begin expiring in fiscal 2037.
We conduct business solely in the United States and file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction as well as in the states of Tennessee and Colorado. The taxable years ended July 31, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
F-14 |
If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other expenses – Interest expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative.”
No material interest or penalties on unpaid tax were recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020. As of October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next fiscal year.
NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
To continue operations and meet operating cash requirements, we have periodically relied on short term loans from related parties, primarily shareholders, until such time as our cash flow from operations meets our cash requirements, or we are able to obtain adequate financing through sales of our equity securities and/or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders or others. Amounts loaned primarily relate to amounts paid to vendors. The loans are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by any written agreement. As of October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021, related parties were owed $272,690 and $202,290, respectively, which are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party on the consolidated balance sheets - see Note 5. The amounts owed are payable on demand and carry no interest. The amounts and terms of the related party loans may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Our stock-based compensation programs are long-term retention awards that are intended to attract, retain, and provide incentives for employees, officers and directors, and to align stockholder and employee interest. We utilize grants of both stock options and warrants and restricted stock to achieve those goals.

Expected Volatility
Due to the fact we do not consider historical volatility is the best indicator of future volatility, we use implied volatility of our options to estimate future volatility.
Expected Term
Where possible, we use the simplified method to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. Where we are unable to use the simplified method due to the terms of a stock option, we may use a modified simplified method to estimate the expected term. We do not have adequate historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term for the current share options granted. The simplified method assumes that employees will exercise share options evenly between the period when the share options are vested and ending on the date when the options would expire.
Risk-Free Interest Rate
The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant.

Dividend Yield
We have not estimated any dividend yield as we currently do not pay a dividend and do not anticipate paying a dividend over the expected term.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Effective May 1, 2021, we entered into a Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer Engagement Agreement (the “Contract CEO Agreement”) with Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Platinum”) to provide the services of Scott M. Boruff as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company for a term of three (3) years. As compensation for the services, the Company shall pay Platinum an annual base fee of $323,400.

Executive Overview
Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries is a healthcare technology company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We are creating a diversified spectrum of healthcare technology solutions to integrate and automate the continuing care, home care and professional healthcare spaces.
Our initial product, SafeSpace™ with AI Vision™, is an ambient fall detection solution designed for continuing care communities and at home use. SafeSpace includes hardware devices utilizing RGB, radar and other sensor technology coupled with our internally developed software to effectively monitor a person remotely. In continuing care communities, SafeSpace detects resident falls and generates alerts to a centralized, intelligent dashboard without the use of wearable devices or any action by the resident. In the home, SafeSpace detects falls and sends alerts directly to designated individuals.
In addition to SafeSpace, we are creating a home concierge healthcare service application to provide a virtual assisted living experience for seniors, recently released postoperative patients, and others. The concierge application will enable the consumer to obtain home healthcare services and health and safety monitoring equipment to improve quality of life. We are also working to develop a fully integrated solution for the professional healthcare community that integrates electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and other items where integration is beneficial.
Strategy
Our mission is to grow a profitable healthcare technology company by focusing on our core product, continuing the development of our proprietary software, and developing new uses and product lines for our technology. Our management team is focused on maintaining the financial flexibility and assembling the right complement of personnel and outside consultants required to successfully execute our mission.
Financial and Operating Results
Highlights for the three months ended October 31, 2021 include:
● | On August 9, 2021, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of the AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB Capital”) Promissory Note from August 2, 2021 until February 2, 2022. As a result of the extension of the maturity date, the interest rate of the note increased from ten percent (10%) per annum to twelve percent (12%) per annum during the extension period. We incurred no costs related to the extension. |
5 |

Under the original terms of the SPA, the investor agreed to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for $200,000 at a price of $0.10 per share through a series of payments. After receipt of $125,000 from the investor, both the Company and the investor mutually agreed to settlement of the SPA for the amounts received and the issuance of the shares at the agreed upon price per share. We incurred no cost related to the private placement. | |
● | On August 27, 2021, Acorn Management Partners, LLC agreed to extend the maturity date of our $50,000 Promissory Note from August 11, 2021 until November 11, 2021. We incurred no costs related to the extension. | |

As part of the settlement under the Agreement, we agreed to issue AJB Capital an additional 666,666 shares of our common stock for payment of its $200,000 origination fee owed under the terms of the original Note and SPA. |
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended October 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended October 31, 2020

Our healthcare technology business is not currently producing revenue as we continue to develop, refine and evaluate our products both internally and in independent senior living facilities through our Pilot Program.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The table below presents a comparison of our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020:
For the Three Months Ended October 31, | ||||||||||||||||
2021 | 2020 | $ Variance | %Variance | |||||||||||||
Officers’ salaries | $ | 131,756 | $ | 121,608 | $ | 10,148 | 8 | % | ||||||||

Total | $ | 341,097 | $ | 318,346 | $ | 22,751 | 7 | % |
Officers’ Salaries - Officers’ salaries, net of capitalized amounts, increased $10,148 over 2020, or 8%. The increase is attributable to a bonus paid in 2021 and only two months of salary paid to our CMO in 2020.
Share-Based Compensation - Share-based compensation expense decreased $2,044, or 1%, over the same period in the prior year. The decrease results from a 2021 reduction in the expense related to a restricted stock grant to our CFO, which was partially offset by an increase in the amortization of the grant date fair value of employee stock options granted to our CMO.
6 |
Professional Fees - Professional fees increased $2,999, or 7%, over the 2020 amount. Fees to outside consultants increased $7,620 in 2021. The increase in consulting fees was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees of $5,120 as compared to the prior period.
Advertising and Marketing - Advertising and marketing expense increased $8,729 over 2020, primarily due to the addition of a new contract sales and marketing representative in 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization expense increased $974 over the same period in the prior year. The increase results from amortization expense related to new intangible assets placed in service in 2021 which was partially offset by declining depreciation expense as older assets become fully depreciated and/or disposed of.
Other - Other expense increased $1,945 over 2020. The increase is primarily due to increased travel and entertainment expenses from capital raising efforts.
Other Income (Expense)
The table below presents a comparison of our other income (expense) for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020:
For the Three Months Ended October 31, | ||||||||||||||||
2021 | 2020 | $ Variance | %Variance | |||||||||||||
Interest expense | $ | (106,253 | ) | $ | (8,497 | ) | $ | (97,756 | ) | 1,150 | % | |||||

Total | $ | (73,956 | ) | $ | (8,497 | ) | $ | (65,459 | ) | 770 | % |
Interest Expense - Interest expense increased $97,756 over the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the $90,000 amortization of debt discount and related interest payments of $10,800 on the AJB Note. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense related to our outstanding 5% convertible notes for 2021 due to note conversions.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability - The change in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with our new AJB Note reflects a gain of $32,297 for the period. We incurred no change in derivative liabilities in the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
The following table summarizes our working capital for the interim period ended October 31, 2021 and fiscal year ended July 31, 2021:
October 31, 2021 | July 31, 2021 | |||||||
Current assets | $ | 39,426 | $ | 49,018 | ||||
Current liabilities | (2,574,484 | ) | (2,259,432 | ) | ||||
Working capital deficiency | $ | (2,535,058 | ) | $ | (2,210,414 | ) |
Current assets for the interim period ended October 31, 2021 decreased $9,592 as compared to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. The decrease is due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the amortization of prepaid expenses.
7 |
Current liabilities for the interim period ended October 31, 2021 increased $315,052 as compared to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to amortization of debt discounts related to notes payable, short-term loans from related parties, and the continuing accrual of officer’s compensation. The increase was partially offset by reductions in accounts payable and a decrease in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
Net Cash Used by Operating Activities
We currently do not have a revenue source and will continue to have negative cash flow from operations for the near future. The factors in determining operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, except for non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount, and changes in fair value of assets and liabilities, which affect earnings but do not affect operating cash flow. Net cash used by operating activities was $83,914 for the three months ended October 31, 2021 as compared to $95,065 for the three months ended October 31, 2020. The $11,151 decrease in cash used during 2021 is primarily attributable to increases in accrued officer’s compensation.
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $20,119 and $3,030 for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amount is comprised of cash paid for the filing of patent applications and for the development of software for our internal use.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $95,400 for the three months ended October 31, 2021, which represents a $60,429 increase over the same period of 2020. The increase over 2020 is due to a $69,529 decline in cash paid for amounts owed to related parties, which was partially offset by a $9,100 decrease in proceeds from common stock sales and short-term loans from related parties.
At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from debt financings and/or the sale of our equity securities to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We are likely to continue using short-term loans from management to meet our short-term funding needs. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 2021.
Going Concern Qualification
We have a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, a negative working capital and have not generated cash from operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the years ended July 31, 2021 and 2020. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend on financing our future activities and working capital needs from the sale of private and/or public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” might make it more difficult to raise capital.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to U.S. GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
8 |
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our interim consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our July 31, 2021 Annual Report.
We believe the following critical policies impact our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and actual results may differ from those estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents, our website and the costs of software developed for internal use. Certain payroll and stock-based compensation costs incurred are allocated to the intangible assets. We determine the amount of costs to be capitalized based on the time spent by employees or outside contractors on the projects. Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining life is changed, the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. We did not recognize any impairment losses during any of the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
9 |
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Derivative Liability
Options, warrants, convertible notes, or other contracts, if any, are evaluated to determine if those contracts, or embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise, or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two- step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
We utilize a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative liability and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. We record the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the Company follows the five-step model provided by ASC Topic 606 in order to recognize revenue in the following manner: 1) Identify the contract; 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price of the contract; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue. An entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue recognition policies remained unchanged as a result of the adoption of ASC 606, and there were no significant changes in business processes or systems.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for share-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans, if any, in accordance with ASC 718.
10 |
Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and that changes thereafter be reflected in income (loss). The estimation of fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed involves estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.
Capital Resources
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as of October 31, 2021.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments. We consider our interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of fixing interest rates on 100% of our debt. At October 31, 2021, there was no floating rate debt that would expose us to market fluctuations in interest rates.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). In conducting its evaluation, management considered the material weaknesses described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date we did not maintain disclosure controls and procedures that were effective in providing reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 13, 2021, we issued 1,250,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated April 30, 2021. Under the original terms of the SPA, the investor agreed to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for $200,000 at a price of $0.10 per share through a series of payments. After receipt of $125,000 from the investor, both the Company and the investor mutually agreed to settlement of the SPA for the amounts received and the issuance of the shares at the agreed upon price per share. We incurred no cost related to the private placement. The net proceeds were used for working capital. The issuance of the shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)2 of that act.
On September 14, 2021, we entered into a Settlement and Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a purchaser of a Promissory Note and SPA dated February 2, 2021 for a potential event of default relating to subsequent equity transactions. As part of the settlement under the Agreement, we agreed to issue the purchaser an additional 666,666 shares of our common stock for payment of its $200,000 origination fee owed under the terms of the original note and SPA. We incurred no cost related to the transaction and there were no proceeds received. The issuance of the shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)2 of that act.
Item 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
On various dates during the month of March 2018 we issued a series of 5% Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively, the “5% Notes”) totaling $750,000 in face amount. The 5% Notes bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually, and initially matured one-year from the date of issuance. As of December 10, 2021, 5% Notes with face amounts totaling $425,000 have been converted into common stock of the Company. 5% Notes with face amounts totaling $325,000 have matured and are currently in default for non-payment of principal and related accrued interest of $65,075 as of the filing date of this interim report.
