As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to NaturalShrimp Incorporated and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: NaturalShrimp Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
 
Corporate History
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 3, 2008 under the name “Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc.” Effective November 5, 2010, we effected an 8 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 12,000,000 shares to 96,000,000 shares. On October 29, 2014, we effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, decreasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 97,000,000 to 9,700,000.
 
On November 26, 2014, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH which assets consisted primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NaturalShrimp Corporation (“NSC”), a Delaware corporation, and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”), a Delaware corporation, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).
 
On January 30, 2015, we consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 75,520,240 shares of our common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets. As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock; NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we changed our principal business to a global shrimp farming company.
 
In connection with our receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), effective March 3, 2015, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated.”
 
Business Overview
 
We are a biotechnology company and have developed a proprietary technology that allows us to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. Our system uses technology which allows us to produce a naturally-grown shrimp “crop” weekly, and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We have developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows us to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. Our initial production facility is located outside of San Antonio, Texas.
 
NS Global, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns less than 1% of NaturalShrimp International A.S. in Europe. Our European-based partner, NaturalShrimp International A.S., Oslo, Norway, is responsible for the construction cost of its facility and initial operating capital.
 
The first facility built in Spain for NaturalShrimp International A.S. is GambaNatural de España, S.L. The land for the first facility was purchased in Medina del Campo, Spain, and construction of the 75,000 sq. ft. facility was completed in 2016. Medina del Campo is approximately seventy-five miles northwest of Madrid, Spain.

On October 16, 2015, we formed Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). The purpose of the NAS is to formalize the business relationship between our Company and F&T Water Solutions LLC for the joint development of certain water technologies. The technologies shall include, without limitation, any and all inventions, patents, intellectual property and know-how dealing with enclosed aquatic production systems worldwide. This includes construction, operation, and management of enclosed aquatic production, other than shrimp, facilities throughout the world, co-developed by both parties at our facility located outside of La Coste, Texas. On December 25, 2018, we were awarded U.S. Patent “Recirculating Aquaculture System and Treatment Method for Aquatic Species” covering all indoor aquatic species that utilizes proprietary art.
 
The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, including NSC, NS Global and NAS.
 
Evolution of Technology and Revenue Expectations
 
Historically, efforts to raise shrimp in a high-density, closed system at the commercial level have been met with either modest success or outright failure through “BioFloc Technology.” Infectious agents such as parasites, bacteria and viruses are the most damaging and most difficult to control. Bacterial infection can in some cases be combated through the use of antibiotics (although not always), and in general, the use of antibiotics is considered undesirable and counter to “green” cultivation practices. Viruses can be even worse, in that they are immune to antibiotics. Once introduced to a shrimp population, viruses can wipe out entire farms and shrimp populations, even with intense probiotic applications.
 
Our primary solution against infectious agents is our “Vibrio Suppression Technology.” We believe this system creates higher sustainable densities, consistent production, improved growth and survival rates and improved food conversion without the use of antibiotics, probiotics or unhealthy anti-microbial chemicals. Vibrio Suppression Technology helps to exclude and suppress harmful organisms that usually destroy “BioFloc” and other enclosed technologies.
 
In 2001, we began research and development of a high density, natural aquaculture system that is not dependent on ocean water to provide quality, fresh shrimp every week, fifty-two weeks a year. Our initial system was successful, but we determined that it would not be economically feasible due to high operating costs. Over the next several years, using the knowledge we gained from developing the first system, we developed a shrimp production system that eliminated the high costs associated with the previous system. We have continued to refine this technology, eliminating bacteria and other problems that affect enclosed systems, and now have a successful shrimp growing process. We have produced thousands of pounds of shrimp over the last few years in order to develop a design that will consistently produce quality shrimp that grow to a large size at a specific rate of growth. This included experimenting with various types of natural live and synthesized feed supplies before selecting the most appropriate nutritious and reliable combination. It also included utilizing monitoring and control automation equipment to minimize labor costs and to provide the necessary oversight for proper regulation of the shrimp environment. However, there were further enhancements needed to our process and technology in order to begin production of shrimp on a commercially viable scale and to generate revenues.
 
Our current system consists of a reception tank where the shrimp are acclimated, then moved to a larger grow-out tank for the rest of the twenty-four week cycle. During 2016, we engaged in additional engineering projects with third parties to further enhance our indoor production capabilities. For example, through our relationship with Trane, Inc., a division of Ingersoll-Rand Plc (“Trane”), Trane has provided a detailed audit to use data to build and verify the capabilities of then initial Phase 1 prototype of a Trane-proposed three tank system at our La Coste, Texas facility. The Company contracted F&T Water Solutions and RGA Labs, Inc. (“RGA Labs”) to complete final engineering and building of the initial patent-pending modified Electrocoagulation system for the grow-out, harvesting and processing of fully mature, antibiotic-free Pacific White Leg shrimp. The design will present a viable pathway to begin generating revenue and producing shrimp on a commercially viable scale. The design is completed and was installed in early June 2018 by RGA Labs. The first post larvae (PL) arrived from the hatchery at the end of June 2018, and we expect to use the first harvest to market, sample, and refine production specifications by the third calendar quarter of 2019.

Overview of Industry
 
Shrimp is a well-known and globally-consumed commodity, constituting one of the most important types of seafood and a staple protein source for much of the world. According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, the world consumes approximately 9 billion pounds of shrimp annually with over 1.7 billion pounds consumed in the United States alone. Approximately 65% of the global supply of shrimp is caught by ocean trawlers and the other 35% is produced by open-air shrimp farms, mostly in developing countries.
 
Shrimp boats catch shrimp through the use of large, boat-towed nets. These nets are quite toxic to the undersea environment as they disturb and destroy ocean-bottom ecosystems; these nets also catch a variety of non-shrimp sea life, which is typically killed and discarded as part of the shrimp harvesting process. Additionally, the world’s oceans can only supply a finite amount of shrimp each year, and in fact, single-boat shrimp yields have fallen by approximately 20% since 2010 and continue to decrease. The shrimping industry’s answer to this problem has been to deploy more (and larger) boats that deploy ever-larger nets, which has in the short-term been successful at maintaining global shrimp yields. However, this benefit cannot continue forever, as eventually global demand has the potential of outstripping the oceans’ ability to maintain the natural ecosystem’s balance, resulting in a permanent decline in yields. When taken in light of global population growth and the ever-increasing demand for nutrient-rich foods such as shrimp, this is clearly an unsustainable production paradigm.
 
Shrimp farming, known in the industry as “aquaculture,” has ostensibly stepped in to fill this demand/supply imbalance. Shrimp farming is typically done in open-air lagoons and man-made shrimp ponds connected to the open ocean. Because these ponds constantly exchange water with the adjacent sea, the farmers are able to maintain the water chemistry that allows the shrimp to prosper. However, this method of cultivating shrimp also carries severe ecological peril. First of all, most shrimp farming is primarily conducted in developing countries, where poor shrimp farmers have little regard for the global ecosystem. Because of this, these farmers use large quantities of antibiotics and other chemicals that maximize each farm’s chance of producing a crop, putting the entire system at risk. For example, a viral infection that crops up in one farm can spread to all nearby farms, quite literally wiping out an entire region’s production. In 1999, the White Spot virus invaded shrimp farms in at least five Latin American countries: Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama and Ecuador and in 2013-14 EMS (Early Mortality Syndrome) wiped out most of the Asia Pacific region and Mexico. Secondly, there is also a finite amount of coastline that can be used for shrimp production – eventually shrimp farms that are dependent on the open ocean will have nowhere to expand. Again, this is an ecologically damaging and ultimately unsustainable system for producing shrimp.
 
In both the cases, the current method of shrimp production is unsustainable. As global populations rise and the demand for shrimp continues to grow, the current system is bound to fall short. Shrimp trawling cannot continue to increase production without completely depleting the oceans’ natural shrimp population. Trends in per-boat yield confirm that this industry has already crossed the overfishing threshold, putting the global open-ocean shrimp population in decline. While open-air shrimp aquaculture may seem to address this problem, it is also an unsustainable system that destroys coastal ecological systems and produces shrimp with very high chemical contamination levels. Closed-system shrimp farming is clearly a superior alternative, but its unique challenges have prevented it from becoming a widely-available alternative.
 
Of the 1.7 billion pounds of shrimp consumed annually in the United States, over 1.5 billion pounds are imported – much of this from developing countries’ shrimp farms. These farms are typically located in developing countries and use high levels of antibiotics and pesticides that are not allowed under USDA regulations. As a result, these shrimp farms produce chemical-laden shrimp in an ecologically unsustainable way.
 
Unfortunately, most consumers here in the United States are not aware of the origin of their store-bought shrimp or that which they consume in restaurants. This is due to a USDA rule that states that only bulk-packaged shrimp must state the shrimp’s country of origin; any “prepared” shrimp, which includes arrangements sold in grocery stores and seafood markets, as well as all shrimp served in restaurants, can simply be sold “as is.” Essentially, this means that most U.S. consumers may be eating shrimp laden with chemicals and antibiotics. Our product is free of pesticide chemicals and antibiotics, a fact that we believe is highly attractive and beneficial in terms of our eventual marketing success.

Technology
 
Intensive, Indoor, Closed-System Shrimp Production Technology
 
Historically, efforts to raise shrimp in a high-density, closed system at the commercial level have been met with either modest success or outright failure through “BioFloc Technology”. Infectious agents such as parasites, bacteria and viruses are the most damaging and most difficult to control. Bacterial infection can in some cases be combated through the use of antibiotics (although not always), and in general, the use of antibiotics is considered undesirable and counter to “green” cultivation practices. Viruses can be even worse, in that they are immune to antibiotics. Once introduced to a shrimp population, viruses can wipe out entire farms and shrimp populations, even with intense probiotic applications.
 
Our primary solution against infectious agents is our “Vibrio Suppression Technology”. We believe this system creates higher sustainable densities, consistent production, improved growth and survival rates and improved food conversion without the use of antibiotics, probiotics or unhealthy anti-microbial chemicals. Vibrio Suppression Technology helps to exclude and suppress harmful organisms that usually destroy “BioFloc” and other enclosed technologies.
 
Automated Monitoring and Control System
 
The Company’s “Automated Monitoring and Control System” uses individual tank monitors to automatically control the feeding, oxygenation, and temperature of each of the facility tanks independently. In addition, a facility computer running custom software communicates with each of the controllers and performs additional data acquisition functions that can report back to a supervisory computer from anywhere in the world. These computer-automated water controls optimize the growing conditions for the shrimp as they mature to harvest size, providing a disease-resistant production environment.
 
The principal theories behind the Company’s system are characterized as:
 
High-density shrimp production
Weekly production
Natural ecology system
Regional production
Regional distribution
 
These principles form the foundation for the Company and our potential distributors so that consumers can be provided with continuous volumes of live and fresh shrimp at competitive prices.
 
Research and Development
 
In 2001, we began research and development (R&D) of a high density, natural aquaculture system that is not dependent on ocean water to provide quality, fresh shrimp every week, fifty-two weeks per year. Our initial system was successful, but the Company determined that it would not be economically feasible due to high operating costs. Over the next several years, using the knowledge we gained from the first R&D system, we developed a shrimp production system that eliminated the high costs associated with the previous system. We have continued to refine this technology, eliminating bacteria and other problems that affect enclosed systems and now have a successful shrimp growing process.
 
We have produced thousands of pounds of shrimp over the last few years in order to develop a design that will consistently produce quality shrimp that grow to a large size at a specific rate of growth. This included experimenting with various types of natural live and synthesized feed supplies before selecting the most appropriate nutritious and reliable combination. It also included utilizing monitoring and control automation equipment to minimize labor costs and to provide the necessary oversight for proper regulation of the shrimp environment.

After the implementation of the first R&D facility in La Coste, Texas, we have also made significant improvements that minimize the transfer of shrimp, which will reduce shrimp stress and labor costs. Our current system consists of a reception tank where the shrimp are acclimated, then moved to a larger grow-out tank for the rest of the twenty-four week cycle.
 
On September 7, 2016, we entered into a Letter of Commitment with Trane, Inc. (“Trane”), a division of Ingersoll-Rand Plc, whereby Trane shall proceed with a detailed audit to use data to verify the capabilities of an initial Phase 1 prototype of a Trane-proposed three tank system at our La Coste, Texas facility. The prototype consists of a modified Electrocoagulation (EC) system for the human grow-out, harvesting and processing of fully mature, antibiotic-free Pacific White Leg shrimp. Trane was authorized to proceed with such detailed audit to utilize data for purposes of verifying the capabilities of the EC system, including the ammonia and chlorine capture and sequestering and pathogen kill. The detailed audit delivered (i) a report on the inspection of the existing infrastructure determining if proper fit, adequate security, acceptable utility service, environmental protection and equipment sizing are achievable; (ii) provide firm fixed pricing for the EC system, electrode selection and supply, waste removal, ventilation of the off-gassing of the equipment; and (iii) a formalized plan for commissioning and on-site investigation of hardware design to simplify build-out of Phase 2 and future phases. The detailed audit was utilized by RGA Labs to build and install the initial system in La Coste, Texas pilot plant the first week of June 2018. Based on the results of the initial system, we intend to increase shrimp production in our plant in La Coste, Texas by adding and stocking additional tanks and adding needed filtration equipment with plans to stock the entire facility by the end of 2019. Five new electrocoagulation systems have been purchased to update the La Coste plant.
 
Target Markets and Sales Price
 
Our goal is to establish production systems and distribution centers in metropolitan areas of the United States, as well as international distribution networks through joint venture partnerships throughout the world. This should allow the Company to capture a significant portion of world shrimp sales by offering locally grown, environmentally “green,” naturally grown, fresh shrimp at competitive wholesale prices.
 
The United States population is approximately 325 million people with an annual shrimp consumption of 1.7 billion pounds, of which less than 400 million pounds are domestically produced. According to IndexMundi.com, the wholesale price for frozen, commodity grade shrimp has risen 15% since January 2015 (shell-on headless, 26-30 count; which is comparable to our target growth size). With world shrimp problems, this price is expected to rise more in the next few years.
 
We strive to build a profitable global shrimp production company. We believe our foundational advantage is that we can deliver fresh, organically grown, gourmet-grade shrimp, 52 weeks per year to retail and wholesale buyers in major market areas at competitive, yet premium prices. By locating regional production and distribution centers in close proximity to consumer demand, we can provide a fresh product to customers within 24 hours after harvest, which is unique in the shrimp industry. We can be the “first to market” and perhaps “sole weekly provider” of fresh shrimp and capture as much market share as production capacity can support.
 
For those customers that want a frozen product, we may be able to provide this in the near future and the product will still be differentiated as a “naturally grown, sustainable seafood” that will meet the increasing demand of socially conscious consumers.
 
Our patented technology and eco-friendly, bio-secure production processes enable the delivery of a chemical and antibiotic free, locally grown product that lives up to the Company’s mantra: “Always Fresh, Always Natural,” thereby solving the issue of “unsafe” imported seafood.

Product Description
 
Nearly all of the shrimp consumed today are shipped frozen. Shrimp are typically frozen from six to twenty-four months before consumption. Our system is designed to harvest a different tank each week, which provides for fresh shrimp throughout the year. We strive to create a niche market of “Always Fresh, Always Natural” shrimp. As opposed to many of the foreign shrimp farms, we can also claim that our product is 100% free of antibiotics. The ability to grow shrimp locally, year round allows us to provide this high-end product to specialty grocery stores and upscale restaurants throughout the world. We rotate the stocking and harvesting of our tanks each week, which allows for weekly shrimp harvests. Our product is free of all pollutants and is fed only all-natural feeds.
 
The seafood industry lacks a consistent “Source Verification” method to track seafood products as they move through countries and customs procedures. With worldwide overfishing leading to declining shrimp freshness and sustainability around the world, it is vital for shrimp providers to be able to realistically identify the source of their product. We have well-managed, sustainable facilities that are able to track shrimp from hatchery to plate using environmentally responsible methods.
 
Shrimp Growth Period
 
Our production system is designed to produce shrimp at a harvest size of twenty-one to twenty-five shrimp per pound in a period of twenty-four weeks. The Company currently purchases post-larva shrimp that are approximately ten days old (PL 10). In the future, we plan to build our own hatcheries to control the supply of shrimp to each of our facilities. Our full-scale production systems include grow-out and nursery tanks, projected to produce fresh shrimp fifty-two weeks per year.
 
Distribution and Marketing
 
We plan to build these environmentally “green” production systems near major metropolitan areas of the United States. Today, we have one pilot production facility in La Coste, Texas (near San Antonio) and plan to begin construction of a full-scale production facility in La Coste and plans for Nevada and New York. Over the next five years, our plan is to increase construction of new facilities each year. In the fifth year, we plan for a new system to be completed each month, expanding first into the largest shrimp consumption markets of the United States.
 
Because our system is enclosed and also indoors, it is not affected by weather or climate and does not depend on ocean proximity. As such, we believe we will be able to provide, naturally grown, high-quality, fresh shrimp to major market customers each week. This will allow distribution companies to leverage their existing customer relationships by offering an uninterrupted supply of high quality, fresh and locally grown shrimp. We plan to sell and distribute the vast majority of our shrimp production through distributors which have established customers and sufficient capacity to deliver a fresh product within hours following harvest. We believe we have the added advantage of being able to market our shrimp as fresh, natural and locally grown using sustainable, eco-friendly technology, a key differentiation from all existing shrimp producers. Furthermore, we believe that our ability to advertise our product in this manner along with the fact that it is a locally grown product, provides us with a marketing advantage over the competition. We expect to utilize distributors that currently supply fresh seafood to upscale restaurants, country clubs, specialty super markets and retail stores whose clientele expect and appreciate fresh, natural products.
 
Harvesting, Packaging and Shipment
 
Each location is projected to include production, harvesting/processing and a general shipping and receiving area, in addition to warehousing space for storage of necessary supplies and products required to grow, harvest, package and otherwise make ready for delivery, a fresh shrimp crop on a weekly basis to consumers in each individual market area within 24 hours following harvest.

The seafood industry lacks a consistent source verification method to track seafood products as they move through countries and customs procedures. With worldwide overfishing leading to declining shrimp freshness and sustainability around the world, it is vital for shrimp providers to be able to realistically identify the source of their product. Our future facilities are expected to be designed to track shrimp from hatchery to plate using environmentally responsible methods.
 
International
 
We own one hundred percent of NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. which was formed to create international partnerships. Each international partnership is expected to use the Company’s proprietary technology to penetrate shrimp markets throughout the world utilizing existing food service distribution channels. NaturalShrimp Global, Inc., owns a percentage of NaturalShrimp International A.S. in Oslo, Norway. As our European-based partner, NaturalShrimp International A.S. is responsible for the construction cost of their facility and initial operating capital.
 
The first facility built in Spain for NaturalShrimp International A.S. is GambaNatural de España, S.L. The land for the first facility was purchased in Medina del Campo, Spain and construction of the 75,000 sq. ft. facility was completed in 2016. Medina del Campo is approximately seventy-five miles northwest of Madrid, Spain.
Go to Market Strategy and Execution
 
Our strategy is to develop regional production and distribution centers near major metropolitan areas throughout the United States and internationally. Today, we have 53,000 sq. ft. of R&D facilities, which includes, a pilot production system, greenhouse/reservoirs and utility buildings in La Coste, TX (near San Antonio). We intend to begin construction of a new free-standing facility with the next generation shrimp production system in place on the property in 2019.
 
The reasoning behind building additional shrimp production systems in La Coste is availability of trained production personnel, our research and development team, and an opportunity to develop the footprint and model for additional facilities. Our current plan is to develop six regional production and distribution centers near major markets in 2019, adding one system per month in a selected production center, depending on market demand.
 
We have sold product to restaurants at $12.00 per pound and to retail consumers at $16.50 to $21.00 per pound, depending on size, which helps to validate our pricing strategy. Additionally, from 2011 to 2013, we had two successful North Texas test markets which distributed thousands of pounds of fresh product to customers within 24 hours following harvest. The fresh product was priced from $8.40 to $12.00 per pound wholesale, heads on, net price to the Company.
 
Current Systems and Expansion
 
The pilot plant is located in La Coste, Texas and is being retrofitted with new patent-pending technology that the Company has been developing with Trane’s engineering audit and F&T Water Solutions, and RGA Labs. This facility, when completely retrofitted with the new technology, is projected to produce approximately 6,000 pounds every month. The next facility in La Coste will be substantially larger than the current system. The target yield of shrimp for the new facility will be approximately 6,000 pounds per week. Both facilities combined are projected to produce over 7,000 pounds of shrimp per week in La Coste. By staging the stocking and harvests from tank to tank, it enables us to produce weekly and therefore deliver fresh shrimp every week.
 
After the completion of the next system in La Coste, our long-term plan is to build additional production systems in Las Vegas, and New York. These locations are targeted to begin construction in fiscal 2020, and the funding for these plans is projected to come from joint venture agreements with strategic partners. These cities are not surrounded by commercial shrimp production, and we believe there will be a high demand for fresh shrimp in all of these locations. In addition, the Company will continue to use the land it owns in La Coste to build as many systems as the Texas market demands.

Competition
 
There are a number of companies conducting research and development projects in their attempt to develop closed-system technologies in the U.S., some with reported production and sales. Florida Organic Aquaculture uses a Bio-Floc Raceway System to intensify shrimp growth, while Marvesta Shrimp Farms’ tanks in water from the Atlantic to use in their indoor system. Since these are privately-held companies, it is not possible to know, with certainty, their state of technical development, production capacity, need for water exchange, location requirements, financial status and other matters. To the best of our knowledge, none are producing significant quantities of shrimp relative to their local markets, and such fresh shrimp sales are likely confined to an area near the production facility.
 
Additionally, any new competitor would face significant barriers for entry into the market and would likely need years of research and development to develop the proprietary technology necessary to produce similar shrimp at a commercially viable level. We believe our technology and business model sets us apart from any current competition. It is possible that additional competitors will arise in the future, but with the size and growth of the worldwide shrimp market, many competitors could co-exist and thrive in the fresh shrimp industry.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We intend to take appropriate steps to protect our intellectual property. We have registered the trademark “NATURALSHRIMP” which has been approved and was published in the Official Gazette on June 5, 2012. On December 25, 2018, we were awarded U.S. Patent “Recirculating Aquaculture System and Treatment Method for Aquatic Species” covering all indoor aquatic species that utilizes proprietary art. There are potential technical processes for which the Company may be able to file a patent. However, there are no assurances that such applications, if filed, would be issued and no right of enforcement is granted to a patent application. Therefore, the Company has filed a provisional patent with the U.S. Patent Office and plans to use a variety of other methods, including copyright registrations as appropriate, trade secret protection, and confidentiality and non-compete agreements to protect its intellectual property portfolio.
 
Source and Availability of Raw Materials
 
Raw materials are received in a timely manner from established suppliers. Currently, we buy our feed from Zeigler, a leading producer of aquatic feed. Post larvae (“PL”) shrimp are purchased from American Penaeid, Inc. (API) in Florida and Global Blue Technologies in Texas.
 
There have not been any issues regarding the availability of our raw materials. We have favorable contacts and past business dealings with other major shrimp feed producers if current suppliers are not available.

Government Approvals and Regulations
 
We are subject to government regulation and require certain licenses. The following list includes regulations to which we are subject and/or the permits and licenses we currently hold:
 
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) - “Exotic species permit” to raise exotic shrimp (non-native to Texas). The La Coste facility is north of the coastal shrimp exclusion zone (east and south of H-35, where it intersects Hwy 21 down to Laredo) and therefore outside of TPWD’s major area of concern for exotic shrimp. Currently Active - Expires December 31, 2019.
Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) - “Aquaculture License” for aquaculture production facilities. License to “operate a fish farm or cultured fish processing plant.” Currently Active – Expires June 30, 2020.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) - Regulates facility wastewater discharge. According to the TCEQ permit classification system, we are rated Level 1 – Recirculation system with no discharge. Currently Active – No expiration.
San Antonio River Authority - No permit required, but has some authority over any effluent water that could impact surface and ground waters.
OSHA - No permit required but has right to inspect facility.
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) - Not needed unless we process shrimp on site. Training and preparation of HACCP plans remain to be completed. There are multiple HACCP plans listed at http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/haccp/Plans.htm and other web sites that can be used as examples.
Texas Department of State Health Services - Food manufacturer license # 1011080.
Aquaculture Certification Council (ACC) and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) - Provide shrimp production certification for shrimp marketing purposes to mainly well-established vendors. ACC and BAP certifications require extensive record keeping. No license is required at this time.
 
We are subject to certain regulations regarding the need for field employees to be certified. We strictly adhere to these regulations. The cost of certification is an accepted part of expenses. Regulations may change and become a cost burden, but compliance and safety are our main concern.
 
Market Advantages and Corporate Drivers
 
The following are what we consider to be our advantages in the marketplace:
 
Early-mover Advantage: Commercialized technology in a large growing market with no significant competition yet identified. Most are early stage start-ups or early stage companies with limited production and distribution.
Farm-to-Market: This has significant advantages including reduced transportation costs and a product that is more attractive to local consumers.
Bio-secured Building: Our process is a re-circulating, highly-filtered water technology in an indoor-regulated environment. External pathogens are excluded.
Eco-friendly “Green” Technology: Our closed-loop, re-circulating system has no ocean water exchange requirements, does not use chemical or antibiotics and therefore is sustainable, eco-friendly, environmentally sound and produces a superior quality shrimp that is totally natural.
Availability of Weekly Fresh Shrimp: Assures consumers of optimal freshness, taste, and texture of product which will command premium prices.
Sustainability: Our naturally grown product does not deplete wild supplies, has no by-catch kill of marine life, does not damage sensitive ecological environments and avoids potential risks of imported seafood.
 
Subsidiaries
 
The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc.

Employees
 
As of March 31, 2019, we had 5 full-time employees. We intend to hire additional staff and to engage consultants in general administration on an as-needed basis. We also may engage experts in general business to advise us in various capacities. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in our public filings before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this document that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following events described in these risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Moreover, additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant also may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, perhaps materially. For additional information regarding risk factors, see Item 1 – “Forward-Looking Statements.”
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
The market for our product may be limited, and as a result our business may be adversely affected.
 
The feasibility of marketing our product has been assumed to this point and there can be no assurance that such assumptions are correct. It is possible that the costs of development and implementation of our shrimp production technology may be too expensive to market our shrimp at a competitive price. It is likewise possible that competing technologies will be introduced into the marketplace before or after the introduction of our product to the market, which may affect our ability to market our product at a competitive price.
 
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the prices we determine to charge for our product will be commercially acceptable or that the prices that may be dictated by the market will be sufficient to provide to us sufficient revenues to profitably operate and provide a financial return to our investors.
 
Our business and operations are affected by the volatility of prices for shrimp.
 
Our business, prospects, revenues, profitability and future growth are highly dependent upon the prices of and demand for shrimp. Our ability to borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon shrimp prices. These prices have been and are likely to continue to be extremely volatile for seasonal, cyclical and other reasons. Any substantial or extended decline in the price of shrimp will have a material adverse effect on our financing capacity and our prospects for commencing and sustaining any economic commercial production. In addition, increased availability of imported shrimp can affect our business by lowering commodity prices. This could reduce the value of inventories, held both by us and by our customers, and cause many of our customers to reduce their orders for new products until they can dispose of their higher cost inventories.
 
 
13
 
 
Market demand for our products may decrease.
 
We face competition from other producers of seafood as well as from other protein sources, such as pork, beef and poultry. The bases on which we expect to compete include, but may not be limited to:
 
price;
product quality;
brand identification; and
customer service.
 
Demand for our products will be affected by our competitors’ promotional spending. We may be unable to compete successfully on any or all of these bases in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
 
Moreover, although historically the logistics and perishability of seafood has led to regionalized competition, the market for fresh and frozen seafood is becoming increasingly globalized as a result of improved delivery logistics and improved preservation of the products. Increased competition, consolidation, and overcapacity may lead to lower product pricing of competing products that could reduce demand for our products and have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
 
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry may result in occasional spot shortages of equipment, supplies and materials. In particular, we may experience possible unavailability of post-larvae and materials and services used in our shrimp production facilities. Such unavailability could result in increased costs and delays to our operations. If we cannot find the products, equipment, supplies and materials that we need on a timely basis, we may have to suspend our production plans until we find the products, equipment and materials that we need.
 
If we lose our key management and technical personnel, our business may be adversely affected.
 
In carrying out our operations, we will rely upon a small group of key management and technical personnel including our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Financial Officer. We do not currently maintain any key man insurance. An unexpected partial or total loss of the services of these key individuals could be detrimental to our business.
 
Our expansion plans for our shrimp production facilities reflects our current intent and is subject to change.
 
Our current plans regarding expansion of our shrimp production facilities are subject to change. Whether we ultimately undertake our expansion plans will depend on the following factors, among others:
 
availability and cost of capital;
current and future shrimp prices;
costs and availability of post-larvae shrimp, equipment, supplies and personnel necessary to conduct these operations;
success or failure of system design and activities in similar areas;
changes in the estimates of the costs to complete production facilities; and
decisions of operators and future joint venture partners.
 
We will continue to gather data about our production facilities, and it is possible that additional information may cause us to alter our schedule or determine that a certain facility should not be pursued at all.
 
 
14
 

Our product is subject to regulatory approvals and if we fail to obtain such approvals, our business may be adversely affected.
 
Most of the jurisdictions in which we operate will require us to obtain a license for each facility owned and operate in that jurisdiction. We have obtained and currently hold a license to own and operate each of our facilities where a license is required. In order to maintain the licenses, we have to operate our current farms and, if we pursue acquisitions or construction of new farms, we will need to obtain additional licenses to operate those farms, where required. We are also exposed to dilution of the value of our licenses where a government issues new licenses to fish farmers other than us, thereby reducing the current value of our fish farming licenses. Governments may change the way licenses are distributed or otherwise dilute or invalidate our licenses. If we are unable to maintain or obtain new fish farming licenses or if new licensing regulations dilute the value of our licenses, this may have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
It is possible that regulatory authorities could make changes in regulatory rules and policies and we would not be able to market or commercialize our product in the intended manner and/or the changes could adversely impact the realization of our technology or market potential.
 
Failure to ensure food safety and compliance with food safety standards could result in serious adverse consequences for us.
 
As our end products are for human consumption, food safety issues (both actual and perceived) may have a negative impact on the reputation of and demand for our products. In addition to the need to comply with relevant food safety regulations, it is of critical importance that our products are safe and perceived as safe and healthy in all relevant markets.
 
Our products may be subject to contamination by food-borne pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridia, Salmonella and E. Coli or contaminants. These pathogens and substances are found in the environment; therefore, there is a risk that one or more of these organisms and pathogens can be introduced into our products as a result of improper handling, poor processing hygiene or cross-contamination by us, the ultimate consumer or any intermediary. We have little, if any, control over handling procedures once we ship our products for distribution. Furthermore, we may not be able to prevent contamination of our shrimp by pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, dioxins or heavy metals.
 
An inadvertent shipment of contaminated products may be a violation of law and may lead to product liability claims, product recalls (which may not entirely mitigate the risk of product liability claims), increased scrutiny and penalties, including injunctive relief and plant closings, by regulatory agencies, and adverse publicity.
 
Increased quality demands from authorities in the future relating to food safety may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. Legislation and guidelines with tougher requirements are expected and may imply higher costs for the food industry. In particular, the ability to trace products through all stages of development, certification and documentation is becoming increasingly required under food safety regulations. Further, limitations on additives and use of medical products in the farmed shrimp industry may be imposed, which could result in higher costs for us.
 
The food industry, in general, experiences high levels of customer awareness with respect to food safety and product quality, information and traceability. We may fail to meet new and exacting customer requirements, which could reduce demand for our products.

 
15
 
 
Our success is dependent upon our ability to commercialize our shrimp production technology.
 
We began monthly stocking of post larvae in March of 2019 to commence commercial sales by the end of 2019. Prior to March 2019, we had been engaged principally in the research and development of our technology. Therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risk, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with the establishment of a new business in the evolving food industry, as well as those risks encountered in the shift from development to commercialization of new technology and products or services based upon such technology.
 
We have developed our first commercial system that employs our technology but additional work is required to incorporate that technology into a system capable of accommodating thousands of customers, which is the minimum capability we believe is necessary to compete in the marketplace.
 
Our shrimp production technology may not operate as intended.
 
Although we have successfully tested our technology, our approach, which is still fairly new in the industry, may not operate as intended or may be subject to other factors that we have not yet considered. These may include the impact of new pathogens or other biological risks, low oxygen levels, algal blooms, fluctuating seawater temperatures, predation or escapes. Any of the foregoing may result in physical deformities to our shrimp or affect our ability to increase shrimp production, which may have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
Our success is dependent upon our ability to protect our intellectual property.
 
Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce protection for our intellectual property in the United States and other countries. It is possible that our intellectual property protection could fail. It is possible that the claims for patents or other intellectual property protections could be denied or invalidated or that our protections will not be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. It is also possible that our intellectual property will not provide protection against competitive products, or will not otherwise be commercially viable.
 
Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to commercialize our shrimp production without infringing on patents or proprietary rights of others. We cannot guarantee that other companies or individuals have not or will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary rights or that other parties have not or will not be issued patents that may prevent the sale of our products or require licensing and the payment of significant fees or royalties in order for us to be able to carry on our business.
 
As the owner of real estate, we are subject to risks under environmental laws, the cost of compliance with which and any violation of which could materially adversely affect us.
 
Our operating expenses could be higher than anticipated due to the cost of complying with existing and future laws and regulations. Various environmental laws may impose liability on the current or prior owner or operator of real property for removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances. Current or prior owners or operators may also be liable for government fines and damages for injuries to persons, natural resources and adjacent property. These environmental laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of the hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of complying with environmental laws could materially adversely affect our results of operations, and such costs could exceed the value of our facility. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly manage, dispose of or remediate such substances, may adversely affect our ability to use, sell or rent our property or to borrow using our property as collateral which, in turn, could reduce our revenue and our financing ability. We have not engaged independent environmental consultants to assess the likelihood of any environmental contamination or liabilities and have not obtained a Phase I environmental assessment on our property. However, even if we did obtain a Phase I environmental assessment report, such reports are limited in scope and may not reveal all existing material environmental contamination.

Risks Related to Financing Our Business
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its audit opinion on our consolidated financial statements appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K, including an explanatory paragraph as to substantial doubt with the respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended March 31, 2019, we had a net loss of approximately $7,211,000. At March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $41,223,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $3,773,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of this filing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. We may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital, we may have to cease operations.
 
Expansion of our operations will require significant capital expenditures for which we may be unable to obtain sufficient financing.
 
Our need for additional capital may adversely affect our financial condition. We have no sustained history of earnings and have operated at a loss since we commenced business. We have relied, and continue to rely, on external sources of financing to meet our capital requirements, to continue developing our proprietary technology, to build our production facilities, and to otherwise implement our corporate development and investment strategies.
 
We plan to obtain the future funding that we will need through the debt and equity markets but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is required. If we fail to obtain the funding that we need when it is required, we may have to forego or delay potentially valuable opportunities to build shrimp production facilities or default on existing funding commitments to third parties. Our limited operating history may make it difficult to obtain future financing.
 
Our ability to generate positive cash flows is uncertain.
 
To develop and expand our business, we will need to make significant up-front investments in our manufacturing capacity and incur research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. In addition, our growth will require a significant investment in working capital. Our business will require significant amounts of working capital to meet our production requirements and support our growth.
 
We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise the capital necessary to meet these requirements. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on satisfactory terms, we may be required to significantly curtail our operations and may not be able to fund our current production requirements - let alone fund expansion, take advantage of unanticipated acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance our products, or respond to competitive pressures. Any failure to obtain such additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
 
17
 

We have a history of operating losses, anticipate future losses and may never be profitable.
 
We have experienced significant operating losses in each period since we began investing resources in our production of shrimp. These losses have resulted principally from research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses associated with the development of our business. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $7,210,581, or $0.04 per share, as compared with $5,285,089, or $0.05 per share, of the corresponding period in 2018. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until we reach sufficient commercial scale of our product to cover our operating costs. We cannot be certain when, if ever, we will become profitable. Even if we were to become profitable, we might not be able to sustain such profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
 
Because we may never have net income from our operations, our business may fail.
 
We have no history of revenues and profitability from operations. There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our success is significantly dependent on uncertain events, including successful development of our technology, establishing satisfactory manufacturing arrangements and processes, and distributing and selling our products.
 
Before receiving revenues from sales to customers of our products, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses. If we are unable to generate significant revenues from sales of our products, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. We can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our Company.
 
We need to raise additional funds and such funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
 
We may consider issuing additional debt or equity securities in the future to fund our business plan, for potential acquisitions or investments, or for general corporate purposes. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us to pay additional interest expenses. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, in which case, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.
 
Our margins fluctuate which leads to further uncertainty in our profitability model.
 
While we will have the potential ability to negotiate prices that benefit our clients and affect our profitability as it garners market-share and increases our book of business, margins in the aquaculture business are fluid, and our margins vary based upon production volume and the customer. This may lead to continued uncertainty in margins from quarter to quarter.
 
 
18
 
 
Risks Related to Doing Business in Foreign Countries
 
Our operations in foreign countries are subject to political, economic, legal and regulatory risks.
 
The following aspects of political, economic, legal and regulatory systems in foreign countries create uncertainty with respect to many of the legal and business decisions that we make:
 
cancellation or renegotiation of contracts due to uncertain enforcement and recognition procedures of judicial decisions;
disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to U.S. laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
changes in foreign laws or regulations that adversely impact our business;
uncertainty regarding tariffs that may be imposed against certain international countries from time-to-time;
changes in tax laws that adversely impact our business, including, but not limited to, increases in the tax rates and retroactive tax claims;
royalty and license fee increases;
expropriation or nationalization of property;
currency fluctuations;
foreign exchange controls;
import and export regulations;
changes in environmental controls;
risks of loss due to civil strife, acts of war and insurrection; and
other risks arising out of foreign governmental sovereignty over the areas in which our operations are conducted.
 
Consequently, our development and production activities in foreign countries may be substantially affected by factors beyond our control, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial position and results of operations. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute arising from our operations in other countries, we may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts outside the United States or may not be successful in subjecting non-U.S. persons or entities to the jurisdiction of the courts in the United States, which could adversely affect the outcome of a dispute.
 
The cost of complying with governmental regulations in foreign countries may adversely affect our business operations.
 
We may be subject to various governmental regulations in foreign countries. These regulations may change depending on prevailing political or economic conditions. In order to comply with these regulations, we believe that we may be required to obtain permits for producing shrimp and file reports concerning our operations. These regulations affect how we carry on our business, and in order to comply with them, we may incur increased costs and delay certain activities pending receipt of requisite permits and approvals. If we fail to comply with applicable regulations and requirements, we may become subject to enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities requiring us to cease or curtail our operations, or take corrective measures involving capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate third parties for loss or damage suffered by reason of our activities, and may face civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing our operations and activities could affect us in a materially adverse way and could force us to increase expenditures or abandon or delay the development of shrimp production facilities.
 
 
19
 

Our international operations will involve the use of foreign currencies, which will subject us to exchange rate fluctuations and other currency risks.
 
Currently, we have no revenues from international operations. In the future, however, any revenues and related expenses of our international operations will likely be generally denominated in local currencies, which will subject us to exchange rate fluctuations between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar. These exchange rate fluctuations will subject us to currency translation risk with respect to the reported results of our international operations, as well as to other risks sometimes associated with international operations. In the future, we could experience fluctuations in financial results from our operations outside of the United States, and there can be no assurance we will be able, contractually or otherwise, to reduce the currency risks associated with our international operations.
 
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.
 
We will be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products we provide. While we intend to maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business. It is also not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to us, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have any business interruption insurance. Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
 
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
 
We have limited capitalization and may require financing, which may not be available.
 
We have limited capitalization, which increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limits our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and industry and may place us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors with sufficient or excess capitalization. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing on satisfactory terms and conditions, we will be forced to curtail or abandon our plans or operations. Our ability to obtain financing will depend upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.
 
The trading of our common stock may have liquidity fluctuations.
 
Although our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTCQB, under the symbol “SHMP”, and the trading volume of our stock has recently increased significantly, such liquidity may not continue to be sustainable. As a result, any trading price of our common stock may not be an accurate indicator of the valuation of our common stock. Any trading in our shares could have a significant effect on our stock price. If the public market for our common stock declines, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. No assurance can be given that an active market will continue or that a stockholder will be able to liquidate their shares of common stock without considerable delay, if at all. Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
 
 
20
 

Our stock price may be volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
 
our stock being held by a small number of persons whose sales (or lack of sales) could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
changes in our earnings estimates;
our ability to obtain adequate working capital financing;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
publication (or lack of publication) of research reports about us;
changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings, enforcement and legal actions;
loss of any strategic relationships;
additions or departures of key management personnel;
actions by our stockholders (including transactions in our shares);
speculation in the press or investment community;
increases in market interest rates, which may increase our cost of capital;
changes in our industry;
competitive pricing pressures;
our ability to execute our business plan; and
economic and other external factors.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the GHS financing agreement.
 
The sale of our common stock to GHS Investments LLC in accordance with the Financing Agreement we entered into with GHS on August 21, 2018 may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS in order to exercise a put under the Financing Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.
 
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
 
 
21
 
 
Our stock is categorized as a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our stock is categorized as a “penny stock”, as that term is defined in SEC Rule 3a51-1, which generally provides that “penny stock”, is any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, including Rule 15g-9, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and reduces the number of potential investors. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
 
According to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include: (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the future volatility of our share price.
 
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
 
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. We presently intend to retain all earnings for our operations.

The existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
 
Our bylaws contain indemnification provisions for our directors, officers and employees, and we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officer and directors. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
 
If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent financial fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
 
We are subject to the risk that sometime in the future, our independent registered public accounting firm could communicate to the board of directors that we have deficiencies in our internal control structure that they consider to be “significant deficiencies.” A “significant deficiency” is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal controls.
 
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we could be subject to regulatory action or other litigation and our operating results could be harmed. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act” or “SOX”), which requires our management to annually assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
 
We currently are not an “accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. That report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. As of March 31, 2019, the management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Management concluded, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, that the Company’s internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules. Management realized there were deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control that adversely affected the Company’s internal controls which management considers to be material weaknesses. A material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting could result in an increased chance of fraud and the loss of customers, reduce our ability to obtain financing and require additional expenditures to comply with these requirements, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For additional information, see Item 9A – Controls and Procedures.
 
Our intended business, operations and accounting are expected to be substantially more complex than they have been in the past. It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by such act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current.
 
 
23
 
 
If we are unable to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as those standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
 
As a public company, we will incur significant increased operating costs and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
 
Although our management has significant experience in the food industry, it has only limited experience operating the Company as a public company. To operate effectively, we will be required to continue to implement changes in certain aspects of our business and develop, manage and train management level and other employees to comply with on-going public company requirements. Failure to take such actions, or delay in the implementation thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, imposes various requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

On April 30, 2019, a complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas alleging that the Company breached a provision in a common stock purchase warrant (the “Vista Warrant”) issued by the Company to Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista”). Vista alleges that the Company failed to issue certain shares of the Company’s common stock as was required under the terms of the Vista Warrant. Vista is currently seeking money damages in the approximate amount of $7,000,000, which the Company believes is unwarranted and excessive, as well as costs and reimbursement of expenses. As of the date hereof, no hearing has been scheduled, but the Company is vigorously defending itself against these claims, preparing a counter-claim against Vista and taking such other appropriate action, in addition to seeking for other costs and relief as may be appropriate.

Equity Financing Agreement

Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $7,000,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement.

Corporate History
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 3, 2008 under the name “Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc.” Effective November 5, 2010, we effected an 8 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 12,000,000 shares to 96,000,000 shares. On October 29, 2014, we effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, decreasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 97,000,000 to 9,700,000.
 
On November 26, 2014, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“NSH”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH which assets consisted primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NaturalShrimp Corporation (“NSC”), a Delaware corporation, and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”), a Delaware corporation, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).
 
On January 30, 2015, we consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 75,520,240 shares of our common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets. As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock; NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we changed our principal business to a global shrimp farming company.
 
In connection with our receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), effective March 3, 2015, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated.”
 
Business Overview
 
We are a biotechnology company and have developed a proprietary technology that allows us to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. Our system uses technology which allows us to produce a naturally-grown shrimp “crop” weekly, and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We have developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows us to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. Our initial production facility is located outside of San Antonio, Texas.
 
NS Global, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns less than 1% of NaturalShrimp International A.S. in Europe. Our European-based partner, NaturalShrimp International A.S., Oslo, Norway, is responsible for the construction cost of its facility and initial operating capital.
 
The first facility built in Spain for NaturalShrimp International A.S. is GambaNatural de España, S.L. The land for the first facility was purchased in Medina del Campo, Spain, and construction of the 75,000 sq. ft. facility was completed in 2016. Medina del Campo is approximately seventy-five miles northwest of Madrid, Spain.
 
On October 16, 2015, we formed Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”). The purpose of the NAS is to formalize the business relationship between our Company and F&T Water Solutions LLC for the joint development of certain water technologies. The technologies shall include, without limitation, any and all inventions, patents, intellectual property and know-how dealing with enclosed aquatic production systems worldwide. This includes construction, operation, and management of enclosed aquatic production, other than shrimp, facilities throughout the world, co-developed by both parties at our facility located outside of La Coste, Texas. On December 25, 2018, we were awarded U.S. Patent “Recirculating Aquaculture System and Treatment Method for Aquatic Species” covering all indoor aquatic species that utilizes proprietary art.
 
The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, including NSC, NS Global and NAS.

Evolution of Technology and Revenue Expectations
 
Historically, efforts to raise shrimp in a high-density, closed system at the commercial level have been met with either modest success or outright failure through “BioFloc Technology.” Infectious agents such as parasites, bacteria and viruses are the most damaging and most difficult to control. Bacterial infection can in some cases be combated through the use of antibiotics (although not always), and in general, the use of antibiotics is considered undesirable and counter to “green” cultivation practices. Viruses can be even worse, in that they are immune to antibiotics. Once introduced to a shrimp population, viruses can wipe out entire farms and shrimp populations, even with intense probiotic applications.
 
Our primary solution against infectious agents is our “Vibrio Suppression Technology.” We believe this system creates higher sustainable densities, consistent production, improved growth and survival rates and improved food conversion without the use of antibiotics, probiotics or unhealthy anti-microbial chemicals. Vibrio Suppression Technology helps to exclude and suppress harmful organisms that usually destroy “BioFloc” and other enclosed technologies.
 
In 2001, we began research and development of a high density, natural aquaculture system that is not dependent on ocean water to provide quality, fresh shrimp every week, fifty-two weeks a year. Our initial system was successful, but we determined that it would not be economically feasible due to high operating costs. Over the next several years, using the knowledge we gained from developing the first system, we developed a shrimp production system that eliminated the high costs associated with the previous system. We have continued to refine this technology, eliminating bacteria and other problems that affect enclosed systems, and now have a successful shrimp growing process. We have produced thousands of pounds of shrimp over the last few years in order to develop a design that will consistently produce quality shrimp that grow to a large size at a specific rate of growth. This included experimenting with various types of natural live and synthesized feed supplies before selecting the most appropriate nutritious and reliable combination. It also included utilizing monitoring and control automation equipment to minimize labor costs and to provide the necessary oversight for proper regulation of the shrimp environment. However, there were further enhancements needed to our process and technology in order to begin production of shrimp on a commercially viable scale and to generate revenues.
 
Our current system consists of a reception tank where the shrimp are acclimated, then moved to a larger grow-out tank for the rest of the twenty-four week cycle. During 2016, we engaged in additional engineering projects with third parties to further enhance our indoor production capabilities. For example, through our relationship with Trane, Inc., a division of Ingersoll-Rand Plc (“Trane”), Trane has provided a detailed audit to use data to build and verify the capabilities of then initial Phase 1 prototype of a Trane-proposed three tank system at our La Coste, Texas facility. The Company contracted F&T Water Solutions and RGA Labs, Inc. (“RGA Labs”) to complete final engineering and building of the initial patent-pending modified Electrocoagulation system for the grow-out, harvesting and processing of fully mature, antibiotic-free Pacific White Leg shrimp. The design will present a viable pathway to begin generating revenue and producing shrimp on a commercially viable scale. The design is completed and was installed in early June 2018 by RGA Labs. The first post larvae (PL) arrived from the hatchery at the end of June 2018, and we expect to use the first harvest to market, sample, and refine production specifications by the third calendar quarter of 2019.

 $1,184,182 
 
Operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2019 were $1,000,713, representing a decrease of 15% compared to operating expenses of $1,184,182 for the same period in 2018. The overall decrease in expenses is the result of a decrease in general and administrative costs, offset by an increase in salaries and facility operations, as the Company is progressing with their testing and planning to begin commercial operations. The primary reason for the change in general and administration costs is that in the year ended March 31, 2018 there was $220,000 amortization of the remaining prepaid expenses arising from shares issued in January 2017 to a consultant for services to be provided over six months. Depreciation expense decreased as many of the fixed assets currently in use have become fully depreciated, and the fixed assets related to the facility are still in construction in progress and depreciation has not yet begun on these assets.
 
Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2019, we had cash on hand of $137,499 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $3,773,000. as compared to cash on hand of $24,280 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $6,764,000 as of March 31, 2018. The increase in working capital deficiency for the year ended March 31, 2019 is mainly due to a slight decrease in current assets, and an approximately $3.5 decrease in the derivative and warrant liabilities, offset by an increase in the current maturity of the bank loan, discussed in further detail below.
 
Working Capital Deficiency
 
Our working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2019, in comparison to our working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2018, can be summarized as follows:

The decrease in current assets is mainly due to the decrease of approximately $205,000 in Notes receivable, which represents funding on convertible debentures back-end notes, offset by an approximate $113,000 increase in cash. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in the derivative and warrant liabilities. The decrease in the derivatives included approximately $4,069,000 of the derivative liability being reclassed to equity upon conversion of the related convertible debentures, and a decrease in the fair value of the derivatives of approximately $1,320,000. This derivative liability decrease is offset by the new convertible debentures entered into during the current year also containing embedded derivatives, which were bifurcated and increased the fair value of the derivative liability by $2,090,000. Additionally, the warrant liability decreased by $184,000 due to the exercise of warrants, as well offset by an increase in the fair value of the warrants of $47,000. Approximately $19,000 of the convertible debentures outstanding at March 31, 2019, were converted subsequent to year end, and the related derivative liability reclassed to equity. These primary causes for the decrease in current liabilities is offset by slight increases in accounts payable and accrued interest and expenses. Another increase is due to the entire balance of the bank loan now being current, as the outstanding balance is due January 2020.
 
Cash Flows
 
Our cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2019, in comparison to our cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2018, can be summarized as follows:
 
 
 
Year Ended March 31,
 
 
 
2019
 
 
  2018
 
Net cash used in operating activities
 $(990,334)
 $(765,793)
Net cash used in investing activities
  (211,830)
  (171,050)

  1,315,383 
  872,928 
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
 $113,219 
 $(63,915)
 
The increase in net cash used in operating activities in the year ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, mainly relates to a the approximate $3,745,000 loss on the exercise of warrants, a swing in the fair value of the derivative liability from an increase in fair value of $1,600,000 in fiscal 2018 to a decrease in the fair value of $1,319,500 in fiscal 2019, and increases in the amortization of the debt discount and financing costs for the year ended March 31, 2019, offset by the decrease in the net loss of approximately.
 
The net cash used in investing activities in the year ended March 31, 2019 included an increase in costs paid on construction in process on the new facility as compared to the same period in 2018, and the purchase of some machinery and equipment.
 
The net cash provided by financing activities increased between periods, with the increased cash provided by financing activities during the year ended March 31, 2019 arising from the additional proceeds received from the new equity financing agreement and cash funding on the notes receivable which collateralized certain back end convertible debentures, offset by a decrease in proceeds for new convertible debentures during fiscal 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018 and by increased payments on outstanding convertible debentures.
 
Our cash position was approximately $137,000 as of March 31, 2019. Management believes that our cash on hand and working capital are not sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements through fiscal 2020, as described in further detail under the section titled “Going Concern” below.

Convertible Debentures
 
On January 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued a Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $262,500 to an accredited investor, along with a Warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in exchange for a purchase price of $250,000. The Company received $50,000 upon closing, with additional consideration to be paid to the Company in such amounts and at such dates as the holder may choose in its sole discretion. The warrants are exercisable over a period of five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.60, subject to adjustment. The exercise price was adjusted to $0.15, and the warrants issued increased to 280,000, upon a warrant issuance related to a new convertible debenture on September 11, 2017. The warrants exercise price was subsequently reset to 50% of the market price during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the warrants issued increased accordingly. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment. The maturity date of the note shall be two years form the date of each payment of consideration thereunder. A one-time interest charge of twelve percent (12%) shall be applied on the issuance date and payable on the maturity date. During the year ended March 31, 2018, the holder converted the $50,000 of the January debentures to common shares of the Company.
 
On March 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor related to the purchase and sale of certain convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000 for an aggregate purchase price of up to $360,000. The agreement contemplates three separate convertible debentures, with each maturing three years following the date of issuance. On March 28, 2017, the Company issued the first convertible debenture in the principal amount of $100,000 for a purchase price of $90,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the closing of the second convertible debenture was to occur upon mutual agreement of the parties, at any time within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days following the original signing closing date, in the principal amount of $150,000 for a purchase price of $135,000. On July 5, 2017, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended to reduce the maximum aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures to $325,000, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $292,500, and to reduce the principal amount of the second convertible debenture to $75,000 for a purchase price of $67,500. The closing of the second convertible debenture occurred on July 5, 2017. In connection with the closing of the second convertible debenture, the Company issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to the holder as a fee in consideration of the expenses incurred in consummating the transaction. The closing of the third convertible debenture was to occur upon mutual agreement of the parties within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days following the second closing, in the principal amount of $150,000 for a purchase price of $135,000. The third closing has not occurred. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.30 for the first one hundred eighty (180) days. After one hundred eighty (180) days, or in an event of default, the conversion price will be the lower of $0.30 or sixty percent (60%) of the lowest closing bid price over the 20 trading days preceding the date of conversion. On September 22, 2017, the Company exercised its option to redeem the first closing of the March debenture, for a redemption price at $130,000, 130% of the principal amount. The principal of $100,000 was derecognized with the additional $30,000 paid upon redemption recognized as a financing cost. On December 28, 2017, the Company exercised its option to redeem the second closing of the March debenture, for a redemption price at $97,500, 130% of the principal amount. Upon redemption, the principal of $75,000 was relieved, with the additional $22,500 paid recognized as a financing cost.

On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into a 5% Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor. The agreement calls for the purchase of up to $135,000 in convertible debentures, due 12 months from issuance, with an original issue discount of $13,500. The first convertible debenture was issued in the principal amount of $45,000 for a purchase price of $40,500 (an original issue discount of $4,500), with additional closings to occur at the sole discretion of the holder. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price over the 25 trading days preceding the date of conversion, subject to adjustment. With each tranche under the July 31, 2017 convertible debentures, the Company shall issue a warrant to purchase an amount of shares of its common stock equal to the face value of each respective tranche divided by $0.60 as a commitment fee. The Company issued a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with the first closing, with an exercise price of $0.60. The warrant has an anti-dilution provision for future issuances, whereby the exercise price would reset. The exercise price was adjusted to $0.15, and the number of warrants issued to 300,000, upon a warrant issuance related to a new convertible debenture on September 11, 2017. The warrants exercise price was subsequently reset to 50% of the market price during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the warrants issued increased accordingly. On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into a second closing of the July 31, 2017 debenture, in the principal amount of $22,500 for a purchase price of $20,250, with $1,500 deducted for legal fees, resulting in net cash proceeds of $18,750. On February 5, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the July 31, 2017 debenture, whereby in exchange for a payment of $6,500, except for a conversion of up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s common shares, the noteholder shall only be entitled to effectuate a conversion under the note on or after March 2, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the holder converted $4,431 of the January debentures into 125,000 common shares of the Company. During March, 2018, the holder converted an additional $17,113 of the July debentures into 630,000 common shares of the Company. During April 2018, in three separate conversions, the remainder of the first closing was fully converted into 1,225,627 shares of common stock of the Company. During May and June 2018, in two separate conversions, the remainder of the second closing was fully converted into 2,810,725 shares of common stock of the Company.
 
On August 28, 2017, the Company entered into a 12% convertible promissory note with an accredited investor in the principal amount of $110,000, with an original issue discount of $10,000, which matures on February 28, 2018. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion rate equal to the lesser of sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price over the 20 trading days prior to the issuance of the note or sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price over the 20 trading days prior to conversion, subject to adjustment. In connection with the note, the Company issued 50,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.20, with a five-year term. The exercise price is adjustable upon certain events, as set forth in the agreement, including for future dilutive issuance. The exercise price was adjusted to $0.15 and the warrants issued increased to 66,667, upon a warrant issuance related to a new convertible debenture on September 11, 2017. The warrants exercise price was subsequently reset to 50% of the market price during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the warrants issued increased accordingly. Additionally, in connection with the note, the Company also issued 343,750 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $58,438, based on the market value of the common shares at the closing date of $0.17, and was recognized as part of the debt discount. The shares are to be returned to the Treasury of the Company in the event the debenture is fully repaid prior to the date which is 180 days following the issue date. On October 31, 2017, there was a second closing to the August debenture, in the principal amount of $66,000, maturing on April 30, 2018. The second closing has the same conversion terms as the first closing, however there were no additional warrants issued with the second closing. Additionally, in connection with the second closing, the Company issued 332,500 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $35,877, based on the market value of the common shares at the closing date of $0.11, and was recognized as part of the debt discount. The shares are to be returned to the Treasury of the Company in the event the debenture is fully repaid prior to the date which is 180 days following the issue date. Subsequent to year end the note holders issued a waiver as to the maturity date of the two notes and a technical default provision. The first and second closing notes have been fully converted during the year ended March 31, 2019.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, the note was fully converted.
 
On September 12, 2017, the Company entered into a 12% convertible promissory note with an accredited investor in the principal amount of $96,500 with an original issue discount of $4,500, which matures on June 12, 2018. The note is able to be prepaid prior to the maturity date, at a cash redemption premium, at various stages as set forth in the agreement. The note is convertible commencing 180 days after issuance date (or upon an event of default), or March 11, 2018, at a variable conversion rate of sixty percent (60%) of the market price, defined as the lowest trading price during the 20 trading days prior to conversion, subject to adjustment. On March 20, 2018, the holder converted $32,500 of the September 12, 2017 debentures into 1,031,746 common stock of the Company. During April 2018, in two separate conversions, the debenture was fully converted into 2,611,164 shares of common stock of the Company.
 
On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell a 12% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $55,000 with a maturity date of September 28, 2018, for a purchase price of $51,700, and $2,200 deducted for legal fees, resulting in net cash proceeds of $49,500. The effective closing date of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note was October 17, 2017.

Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. In the event of default, as set forth in the agreement, the outstanding principal balance increases to 150%. In addition to standard events of default, an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company shall lose the "bid" price for its Common Stock, on trading markets, including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange. If the Company enters into a 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) issuance of shares there are liquidation damages of 25% of principal, not to be below $15,000. The Company must also obtain the noteholder's written consent before issuing any new debt. The note is convertible at a fixed conversion price of $0.01. If an event of default occurs, the fixed conversion price is extinguished and replaced by a variable conversion rate that is 70% of the lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to conversion. The fixed conversion price shall reset upon any future dilutive issuance of shares, options or convertible securities.

Sale and Issuance of Common Stock
 
On August 15, 2018, the Company authorized 5,000,000 of their Preferred Stock to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A PS”), with a par value of $0.001. The Series A PS shall have 60 to 1 voting rights such that each share shall vote as 60 shares of common stock. The Series A PS holders shall not be entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A PS shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of $0.00l per share before any payment or distribution shall be made on the common stock, or any other class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A PS. The Series A PS is convertible, after two years from the date of issuance, with the consent of a majority of the Series A PS holders, into the same number of shares of common stock of the Company as are outstanding at the time.
 
On August 21, 2018, the NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc.(“NSH”) shareholders exchanged 75,000,000 of the shares of common stock of the Company which they held, into 5,000,000 newly issued Series A PS. The shares of common stock were returned to the treasury and cancelled.
 
On April 12, 2018, the Company sold 220,000 shares of its common stock at $0.077 per share, for a total financing of $15,400.
 
On February 14, 2019, the Company issued 225,00 shares of its common stock to the original noteholder of the March 20, 2018 convertible debenture. The fair value of the shares of $72,450 based on the market price of $0.32 on the date of issuance, have been recognized as a financing cost.
 
During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 226,217,349 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of approximately $1,318,000 of their outstanding convertible debt and approximately $43,000 of accrued interest.

Equity Financing Agreement
 
On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (“Equity Financing Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”). Under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS agreed to provide the Company with up to $7,000,000 upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Registration Statement was filed, and deemed effective on September 19, 2018.
 
Following effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company has the discretion to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) based on the investment amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each put notice shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put, so long as such amount does not exceed $300,000. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s Common Stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Market Price (as defined in the Equity Financing Agreement). Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $7,000,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement. Additionally, in accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company shall issue GHS a promissory note in the principal amount of $15,000 to offset transaction costs (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, is not convertible and is due 180 days from the issuance date of the Note.
 
On October 3, 2018, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 2,814,682 shares of common stock, at $0.0088, for a total of $24,769. On October 22, 2018, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 3,525,917 shares of common stock, at $0.0048, for a total of $16,924. On November 13, 2018, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 6,779,397 shares of common stock, at $0.0046, for a total of $31,456. On December 10, 2018, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 6,880,004 shares of common stock, at $0.0133, for a total of $91,366. On March 25, 2019, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 2,131,894 shares of common stock, at $0.141, for a total of $300,000.
 
Shareholder Notes Payable
 
On April 20, 2017, the Company issued an additional Six Percent (6%) Unsecured Convertible Note to Dragon Acquisitions in the principal amount of $140,000. The note accrues interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, and matures one (1) year from the date of issuance. Upon an event of default, the default interest rate will be increased to twenty-four percent (24%), and the total amount of principal and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable at the holder’s discretion. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has paid $52,400 on this note, with $87,600 remaining outstanding as of March 31, 2019.

Going Concern
 
The audited consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K have been prepared, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses through the period to March 31, 2019 of approximately $41,223,000 as well as negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $990,000. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following March 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance the continued build-out of our equipment and for general and administrative expenses. These alternatives include raising funds through public or private equity markets and either through institutional or retail investors. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with our fund raising initiatives, management believes that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.
 
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.
 
Future Financing
 
We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business. In addition, while we have received capital from various private placements that have enabled us to fund our operations, these funds have been largely used to develop our processes, although additional funds are needed for other corporate operational and working capital purposes. Subsequent to year end we have raised approximately an additional $100,000, net of OID, from convertible debentures and $1,500,000 from the issuance of shares of common stock under the equity financing agreement. However, not including funds needed for capital expenditures or to pay down existing debt and trade payables, we anticipate that we will need to raise an additional $2,500,000 to cover all of our operational expenses over the next 12 months, not including any capital expenditures needed as part of any commercial scale-up of our equipment. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional necessary financing on a timely basis, or if we are unable to generate significant revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due, and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Effects of Inflation
 
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Fair Value Measurement
 
The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
 
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at March 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
The Derivative liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share
 
Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance with ASC 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $695,000 in convertible debentures whose approximately 66,376,000 underlying shares are convertible at the holders’ option at conversion prices ranging from 34 - 60% of the defined trading price and approximately 444,000 warrants with an exercise price of 45% of the market price of the Company’s common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Included in the diluted EPS for the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $1,293,000 in convertible debentures whose approximately 46,170,000 underlying shares are convertible at the holders’ option at conversion prices ranging from 34 - 60% of the defined trading price and approximately 4,625,000 warrants with an exercise price of 45% to 57% of the market price of the Company’s common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
In addition, the Company’s management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes.
 
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law H.R. 1 (the “Tax Reform Law”). The Tax Reform Law, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United States tax law, including various provisions that are expected to impact the Company. The Tax Reform Law reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will continue to analyze the provisions of the Tax Reform Law to assess the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets
 
The Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long­lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long­lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long­lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long­lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
 
Recent Accounting Standards
 
During the year ended March 31, 2018 and through the date of this report, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019, and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management of and its consolidated subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 was not effective.
 
A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small number of staff:
 
inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
lack of independent Board of Directors and absence of Audit Committee to exercise oversight responsibility related to financial reporting and internal control;
lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and
lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.
 
Management continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
 
The remediation actions planned include:
 
identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company;
continue to obtain sufficient resources to achieve adequate segregation of duties; and
continue to develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.
 
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting go undetected.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Board of Directors is comprised of only one class. All of the directors serve for a term of one year and until their successors are elected at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting and are qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s shareholders. Each executive officer serves, at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, for a term of one year and until his successor is elected at a meeting of the Board of Directors and is qualified.
 
Our Board of Directors believes that all members of the Board and all executive officers encompass a range of talent, skill, and experience sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our operations and interests. The information below with respect to our directors and executive officers includes each individual’s experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led our Board of Directors to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director and/or executive officer.

Committees of the Board
 
Our Board of Directors held two formal meeting in the fiscal year-ended March 31, 2019. Otherwise, all proceedings of the Board of Directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada Revised Statutes and the bylaws of our Company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. We do not presently have a policy regarding director attendance at meetings.
 
 
54
 
 
We do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee of the Board of Directors, or any committee performing similar functions. Our Board of Directors performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees.
 
Audit Committee
 
Our Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Instead, the entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act and will continue to do so until such time as a separate audit committee has been established.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
We currently have not designated anyone as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K as we have not yet created an audit committee of the Board of Directors.
 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings.
 
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, none of our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners failed to comply on a timely basis with all applicable filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
 
Nominations to the Board of Directors
 
Our directors play a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and oversee the management of the Company. Board candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders, diversity, and personal integrity and judgment.
 
In addition, directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance their knowledge in the growing business. Accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Company.
 
In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board will consider candidates suggested by stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to formally place a candidate’s name in nomination, however, he or she must do so in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. Suggestions for candidates to be evaluated by the proposed directors must be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o NaturalShrimp Incorporated, 15150 Preston Rd, Suite 300, Dallas, TX 75248.
 
Director Nominations
 
As of March 31, 2019, we did not affect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight
 
Bill G. Williams currently serves as the Company’s principal executive officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company determined this leadership structure was appropriate for the Company due to our small size and limited operations and resources. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s leadership structure and modify as appropriate based on the size, resources and operations of the Company. It is anticipated that the Board of Directors will establish procedures to determine an appropriate role for the Board of Directors in the Company’s risk oversight function.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
No interlocking relationship exists between our board of directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.
 
Code of Ethics
 
The Company has adopted a written code of ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and directors. A copy of such code of ethics is available upon written request to the Company.

Director Independence
 
Our board of directors consists of Bill G. Williams, Gerald Easterling and William Delgado. Our securities are quoted on the OTC Markets Group, which does not have any director independence requirements. We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence established by applicable laws, rules, and listing standards including, without limitation, the standards for independent directors established by The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ National Market, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Subject to some exceptions, these standards generally provide that a director will not be independent if (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or two percent of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of NaturalShrimp Incorporated:
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NaturalShrimp Incorporated (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses from inception and has a significant working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
/s/ Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P.
 
Dallas, Texas
June 28, 2019
 
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

NATURALSHRIMP INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
Nature of the Business
 
NaturalShrimp Incorporated (“NaturalShrimp” “the Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company and has developed a proprietary technology that allows it to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. The Company’s system uses technology which allows it to produce a naturally-grown shrimp “crop” weekly, and accomplishes this without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows it to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. Its initial production facility is located outside of San Antonio, Texas.
 
The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of approximately $7,211,000. At March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $41,223,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $3,773,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of this filing. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. During the 2019 fiscal year, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $1,125,000 from the issuance of convertible debentures (including amount received on notes receivable which were issued as collateralization for back end notes), approximately $465,000 from issuance of the Company’s common stock through an equity financing agreement and $15,000 from the sale of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company received $100,000 in net proceeds from one convertible debentures, and $1,500,000 from the issuance of approximately 11,483,000 common shares under the equity financing agreement. (See Note 12). Management believes that private placements of equity capital and/or additional debt financing will be needed to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of its current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. The Company continues to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.
 
The Company plans to improve the growth rate of the shrimp and the environmental conditions of its production facilities. Management also plans to acquire a hatchery in which the Company can better control the environment in which to develop the post larvaes. If management is unsuccessful in these efforts, discontinuance of operations is possible. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
 
F-6
 
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalShrimp Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NaturalShrimp Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share
 
Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance with ASC 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $1,097,000 in convertible debentures whose approximately 66,376,000 underlying shares are convertible at the holders’ option at conversion prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.30 for fixed conversion rates, and 34% - 60% of the defined trading price for variable conversion rates and approximately 444,000 warrants with an exercise price of 45% of the market price of the Company’s common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Included in the diluted EPS for the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $1,293,000 in convertible debentures whose approximately 46,170,000 underlying shares are convertible at the holders’ option at conversion prices ranging from 34 - 60% of the defined trading price and approximately 4,625,000 warrants with an exercise price of 45% to 57% of the market price of the Company’s common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values at our balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their fair values, but Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts in our balance sheets. For financial instruments recognized at fair value, GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument, along with other information, including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in income or other comprehensive income. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is provided below under “Financial Instruments.”
 
Nonfinancial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s balance sheets. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, GAAP requires the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in income in the period the remeasurement occurred.
 
 
F-7
 
 
The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at March 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
The Derivative liabilities are Level 3 fair value measurements.
The following is a summary of activity of Level 3 liabilities during the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

At March 31, 2019, the fair value of the derivative liabilities of convertible notes was estimated using the following weighted-average inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.21; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.41% to 2.63%, and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock ranging from 335.68% to 478.31%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
At March 31, 2018, the fair value of the derivative liabilities of convertible notes was estimated using the following weighted-average inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.06; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.73% to 2.09%, and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock ranging from 272.06% to 375.93%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

At March 31, 2018, the fair value of the derivative liabilities of convertible notes was estimated using the following weighted-average inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.06 a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.22% to 2.56%, and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 358.6%.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, with the exception of discounted debt, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
 
 
F-8
 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
Fixed Assets
 
Equipment is carried at historical value or cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation on buildings is computed using the straight-line method, while depreciation on all other fixed assets is computed using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) method, which does not materially differ from GAAP. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Buildings
27.5 – 39 years
Other Depreciable Property
5 – 10 years
Furniture and Fixtures
3 – 10 years
 
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
 
The consolidated statements of operations reflect depreciation expense of approximately $30,000 and $71,000 for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
In addition, the Company’s management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes.
 
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law H.R. 1 (the “Tax Reform Law”). The Tax Reform Law, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United States tax law, including various provisions that are expected to impact the Company. The Tax Reform Law reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and the 2019 fiscal year for the Company. The Company will continue to analyze the provisions of the Tax Reform Law to assess the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
F-9
 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718. “Stock-based Compensation to Employees” is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity Instruments Issued to Other than Employees” and are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances. Once the stock is issued the appropriate expense account is charged.
 
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets
 
The Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
 
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
 
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) The standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
  In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606, or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 establishes the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In applying the new revenue recognition model to contracts with customers, an entity: (1) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identifies the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determines the transaction price; (4) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The accounting standards update applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The accounting standards update also requires significantly expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted Topic 606 as of April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at the date of initial application; however, the Company did not have any material adjustment as of the date of the adoption and adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date. The comparative periods have not been restated.
 
 
F-10
 
 
During the year ended March 31, 2019, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events
 
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2019, through the date which the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 12 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM NOTE AND LINES OF CREDIT

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
January 2017 Debentures
 
On January 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“January SPA”) for the sale of a convertible debenture (“January debenture”) with an original principal amount of $262,500, for consideration of $250,000, with a prorated five percent original issue discount (“OID”). The debenture has a one-time interest charge of twelve percent applied on the issuance date and due on the maturity date, which is two years from the date of each payment of consideration. The January SPA included a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants have a five year term and vest such that the buyer shall receive 1.4 warrants for every dollar funded to the Company under the January debenture. The Company received $50,000 at closing, with additional consideration to be paid at the holder’s option. Upon the closing the buyer was granted a warrant to purchase 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The January debenture is convertible at an original conversion price of $0.35, subject to adjustment if the Company’s common stock trades at a price lower than $0.60 per share during the forty-five day period immediately preceding August 15, 2017, in which case the conversion price is reset to sixty percent of the lowest trade occurring during the twenty-five days prior to the conversion date. Additionally, the conversion price, as well as other terms including interest rates, original issue discounts, warrant coverage, adjusts if any future financings have more favorable terms. The January debenture also has piggyback registration rights.
 
The conversion feature of the January debenture meets the definition of a derivative and due to the adjustment to the conversion price to occur upon subsequent sales of securities at a price lower than the original conversion price, requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The derivative was initially recognized at an estimated fair value of $85,000 and created a discount on the January debentures that will be amortized over the life of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the embedded derivative is measured and recognized at fair value each subsequent reporting period and the changes in fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a change in fair value of derivative liability.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.46 at issuance date; a risk free interest rate of 1.16% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 384.75%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $35,000 was immediately expensed as Financing costs. As the discount was in excess of the face amount of the debenture, the effective interest rate is not determinable, and as such, all of the discount was immediately expensed.
 
The derivative was remeasured as of March 31, 2017, resulting in an estimated fair value of $74,000, for a decrease in fair value of $11,000. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.40; a risk free interest rate of 1.16% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 388.06%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the holder converted $40,000 of the January debentures to common shares of the Company, leaving outstanding principal of $10,000 as of September 30, 2017. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with a fair value of $55,000, with an increase of $2,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $44,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.17; a risk-free interest rate of 1.12% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 190.70%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
 
F-12
 
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the holder converted the remaining $10,000 of the January debentures to shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with a fair value of $16,000, with an increase of $4,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.10; a risk-free interest rate of 1.46% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 200.17%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
The warrants have an original exercise price of $0.60, which adjusts for any future dilutive issuances. As a result of the dilutive issuance adjustment provision, the warrants have been classified out of equity as a warrant liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.46 at issuance date; a risk free interest rate of 1.88% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 309.96%, resulting in a fair value of $32,000. As noted above, the calculated fair value of the discount is greater than the face amount of the debt, and therefore, the excess amount of $32,000 was immediately expensed as Financing costs.
 
March 2017 Debentures
 
On March 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) for the purchase of up to $400,000 in convertible debentures (“March debentures”), due 3 years from issuance. The SPA consists of three separate convertible debentures, the first purchase which occurred at the signing closing date on March 28, 2017, for $100,000 with a purchase price of $90,000 (an OID of $10,000). The second closing is to occur by mutual agreement of the buyer and Company, at any time sixty to ninety days following the signing closing date, for $150,000 with a purchase price of $135,000 (an OID of $15,000). The third closing is to occur sixty to ninety days after the second closing for $150,000 with a purchase price of $135,000 (an OID of $15,000). The SPA also includes a commitment fee to include 100,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company upon the signing closing date. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $34,000, based on the market value of the shares of common stock of the Company at the closing date of $0.34, and was recognized as a debt discount. The conversion price is fixed at $0.30 for the first 180 days. After 180 days, or in the event of a default, the conversion price becomes the lower of $0.30 or 60% (or 55% based on certain conditions) of the lowest closing bid price for the past 20 days.
 
On July 5, 2017, the March Debenture was amended. The total principal amount of the convertible debentures issuable under the SPA was reduced to $325,000, for a total purchase price of $292,500, and the second closing was reduced to $75,000 with a purchase price of $67,500. The second closing occurred on July 5, 2017. As a fee in connection with the second closing, the Company issued 75,000 of its restricted shares of common stock of the Company to the debenture holder. The fair value of the fee shares was calculated as $26,625, based on the market value of the shares of common stock of the Company at the closing date of $0.36, which will be recognized as a debt discount and amortized over the life of the note with a 34.4% effective interest rate.
 
The conversion feature of the March debenture meets the definition of a derivative as it would not be classified as equity were it a stand-alone instrument, and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The derivative was initially recognized at an estimated fair value of $170,000 and created a discount on the March debentures that will be amortized over the life of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the embedded derivative is measured and recognized at fair value each subsequent reporting period and the changes in fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Change in fair value of derivative liability.

The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.40 at issuance date; a risk free interest rate of 1.56% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 333.75%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $104,000, including the commitment fees, was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
The debenture is also redeemable at the option of the Company, at amounts ranging from 105% to 140% of the principal and accrued interest balance, based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from 90 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of each debenture.
 
On September 22, 2017, the Company exercised its option to redeem the first closing of the March debenture, for a redemption price at $130,000, 130% of the principal amount. The principal of $100,000 was derecognized with the additional $30,000 paid upon redemption recognized as a financing cost. As a result of the redemption, the unamortized discount related to the converted balance of $91,667 was immediately expensed. Additionally, the derivative was remeasured upon redemption of the debenture, resulting in an estimated fair value of $189,000, for an increase in fair value of $45,000. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.17; a risk-free interest rate of 1.58% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 290.41%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
On December 28, 2017, the Company exercised its option to redeem the second closing of the March debenture, for a redemption price at $97,500, 130% of the principal amount. Upon redemption, the principal of $75,000 was relieved, with the additional $22,500 paid recognized as a financing cost. As a result of the redemption, the unamortized discount related to the converted balance of $68,750 was immediately expensed. Additionally, the derivative was remeasured upon redemption of the debenture, resulting in an estimated fair value of $151,000, for an increase in fair value of $63,000. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.15; a risk-free interest rate of 1.89% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 260.54%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
July 2017 Debenture
 
On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into a 5% Securities Purchase Agreement. The agreement calls for the purchase of up to $135,000 in convertible debentures, due 12 months from issuance, with a $13,500 OID (the “July Debentures”). The first closing was for principal of $45,000 with a purchase price of $40,500 (an OID of $4,500), with additional closings at the sole discretion of the holder. On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into a second closing of the July 31, 2017 debenture, in the principal amount of $22,500 for a purchase price of $20,250, with $1,500 deducted for legal fees, resulting in net cash proceeds of $18,750. The July 31 debenture is convertible at a conversion price of 60% of the lowest trading price during the twenty-five days prior to the conversion date, and is also subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company. A further adjustment occurs if the trading price at any time is equal to or lower than $0.10, whereby an additional 10% discount to the market price shall be factored into the conversion rate, as well as an adjustment to occur upon subsequent sales of securities at a price lower than the original conversion price. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
On February 5, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the July Debenture, whereby in exchange for a payment of $6,500 the note holder, except for a conversion of up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s shares of common stock of the Company, would be only entitled to effectuate a conversion under the note on or after March 2, 2018.
 
 
F-14
 
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures at issuance at $61,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.33 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.23% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 192.43%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $45,500, including the commitment fees, was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
On February 20, 2018, the holder converted $4,431 of the January debentures into 125,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability relating to the portion converted was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with a fair value of $11,000, with an increase of $4,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.12; a risk-free interest rate of 1.87% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 353.27%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
During March 2018, the holder converted an additional $17,113 of the July debentures into 630,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with a fair value of $138,000, with an increase of $74,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.11; a risk-free interest rate of 1.77% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 375.93%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. Subsequent to year end the remainder of the two notes were fully converted.
 
During April 2018, in three separate conversions, the remainder of the first closing was fully converted into 1,225,627 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall decrease of $25,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $66,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.07 to $0.09; a risk-free interest rate of 1.73% to 1.87% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 248.71%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
During May and June 2018, in two separate conversions, the remainder of the second closing was fully converted into 2,810,725 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall decrease of $25,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion of $67,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.03 to $0.04; a risk-free interest rate of 1.91% to 1.93% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 248.71%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

Additionally, with each tranche under the note, the Company shall issue a warrant to purchase an amount of shares of its common stock equal to the face value of each respective tranche divided by $0.60 as a commitment fee. The Company issued a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with the first closing, with an exercise price of $0.60. The warrant has an anti-dilution provision for future issuances, whereby the exercise price would reset. The exercise price was adjusted to $0.15 and the warrants issued increased to 300,000, upon a warrant issuance related to a new convertible debenture on September 11, 2017. The warrants exercise price was subsequently reset to 50% of the market price during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the warrants issued increased accordingly. Due to the conversion features on specified notes containing variable conversion prices with no stated floor the warrants were required to be classified out of equity as a warrant liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.33 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.84% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 316.69%, resulting in a fair value of $25,000. The Company issued 6,719,925 shares of their common stock on July 17, 2018, upon cashless exercise of the warrants granted in connection with the first closing of the July Debenture, and on August 28, 2018, 4,494,347 shares were issued upon cashless exercise of the warrants granted in connection with the second closing. As a result of the exercise, the fair value of the warrants at the date of exercise were reclassed into equity. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.02 at both exercise dates; a risk-free interest rate of 2.73 and 2.77% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 351.29 and 342.70%, resulting in an aggregate fair value of $150,000.
 
August 2017 Debenture
 
On August 28, 2017, the Company entered into a 12% convertible promissory note for $110,000, with an OID of $10,000, which matures on February 28, 2018. The note is convertible at a variable conversion rate that is the lesser of 60% of the lowest trading price for last 20 days prior to issuance of the note or 60% of the lowest market price over the 20 days prior to conversion. The conversion price shall be adjusted upon subsequent sales of securities at a price lower than the original conversion price. There are additional adjustments to the conversion price for events set forth in the agreement, including if the Company is not DTC eligible, the Company is no longer a reporting company, or the note cannot be converted into free trading shares on or after nine months from issue date. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The note was sold to the holder of the January 29, 2018 note (below) on February 8, 2018, with an amendment entered into to extend the note until March 5, 2018. In exchange for a cash payment of $5,000 and the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock, on March 5, 2018, the holder agreed to not convert any of the outstanding debt into common stock of the Company until April 8, 2018. The new holder issued a waiver as to the maturity date of the note and a technical default provision.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures at issuance at $150,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.17 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.12% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 190.70%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $116,438, was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
 
F-16
 
 
During April through June 2018, in a number of separate conversions, the August debenture was fully converted into 8,332,582 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall decrease of $112,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $316,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.09 to $0.02; a risk-free interest rate of 1.72% to 1.94% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 248.71% to 375.93%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
In connection with the note, the Company issued 50,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.20, with a five-year term. The exercise price is adjustable upon certain events, as set forth in the agreement, including for future dilutive issuance. The exercise price was adjusted to $0.15 and the warrants outstanding increased to 66,667, upon a warrant issuance related to a new convertible debenture on September 11, 2017. The warrants exercise price was subsequently reset to 50% of the market price during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the warrants issued increased accordingly. As a result of the dilutive issuance adjustment provision, the warrants have been classified out of equity as a warrant liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.17 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.74% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 276.90%, resulting in a fair value of $8,000.
 
Additionally, in connection with the debenture the Company also issued 343,750 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $58,438, based on the market value of the shares of common stock of the Company at the closing date of $0.17, and was recognized as part of the debt discount. The shares are to be returned to the Treasury of the Company in the event the debenture is fully repaid prior to the date which is 180 days following the issue date. On February 22, 2018, in connection with the sale of the note to the January 29, 2019 note holder, 171,965 of the shares were returned to the Company and cancelled. The remaining shares are not required to be returned to the Company, as the note was not redeemed prior to the date 180 days following the issue date.
 
On October 31, 2017, there was a second closing to the August debenture, in the principal amount of $66,000, maturing on April 30, 2018. The second closing has the same conversion terms as the first closing, however there were no additional warrants issued with the second closing. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability. Subsequent to year end the holder issued a waiver as to the maturity date of the note and a technical default provision.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures at issuance at $94,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.11 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.28% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 193.79%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $69,877, was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
Additionally, in connection with the second closing, the Company also issued 332,500 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $35,877, based on the market value of the shares of common stock of the Company at the closing date of $0.11, and was recognized as part of the debt discount. The shares are to be returned to the Treasury of the Company in the event the debenture is fully repaid prior to the date which is 180 days following the issue date.

During May 2018, the second closing was fully converted into 5,072,216 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall decrease of $42,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $196,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.03; a risk-free interest rate of 1.87% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 248.71%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
September 11, 2017 Debenture
 
On September 11, 2017, the Company entered into a 12% convertible promissory note for $146,000, with an OID of $13,500, which matures on June 11, 2018. The note is convertible at a variable conversion rate that is the lower of the trading price for last 25 days prior to issuance of the note or 50% of the lowest market price over the 25 days prior to conversion. Furthermore, the conversion rate may be adjusted downward if, within three business days of the transmittal of the notice of conversion, the common stock has a closing bid which is 5% or lower than that set forth in the notice of conversion. There are additional adjustments to the conversion price for events set forth in the agreement, if any third party has the right to convert monies at a discount to market greater than the conversion price in effect at that time then the holder, may utilize such greater discount percentage. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved seven times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures at issuance at $269,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.17 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.16% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 190.70%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $168,250, was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
In connection with the note, the Company issued 243,333 warrants, exercisable at $0.15, with a five-year term. The exercise price is adjustable upon certain events, as set forth in the agreement, including for future dilutive issuance. The warrants exercise price was subsequently reset to 50% of the market price during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the warrants issued increased accordingly. Due to the conversion features on specified notes containing variable conversion prices with no stated floor, , the warrants were required to be classified out of equity as a warrant liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.13 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 1.71% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 276.90%, resulting in a fair value of $32,000.
 
During April and June 2018, in three separate conversions, $85,000 of the note was converted into 9,200,600 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions in the first quarter of 2019, the derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall decrease of $124,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $263,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.03 to $0.10; a risk-free interest rate of 1.73% to 1.94% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 248.71% to 375.93%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

The effective closing date of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Note is October 17, 2017. The note is convertible at the holders’ option, at any time, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date, or (ii) 60% of either the lowest sale price for the Company’s common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days including and immediately preceding the closing date, or the closing bid price, whichever is lower, provided that, if the price of the Company’s common stock loses a bid, then the conversion price may be reduced, at the holder’s absolute discretion, to a fixed conversion price of $0.00001. If at any time the adjusted conversion price for any conversion would be less than par value of the Company’s common stock, then the conversion price shall equal such par value for any such conversion and the conversion amount for such conversion shall be increased to include additional principal to the extent necessary to cause the number of shares issuable upon conversion equal the same number of shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been subject to the minimum par value price.

The additional $37,842 represents the redemption amount owing to the original noteholder and increases the principal amount due to the new noteholder and was recognized as financing cost.
 
Additionally, the Company also issued 255,675 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $28,124, based on the market value of the shares of common stock of the Company at the closing date of $0.11, and was recognized as part of the debt discount.
 
The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debenture at issuance at $191,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.06 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.09% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 272.06%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $144,124 (including the fair value of the shares of common stock of the Company issued) was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
During the third fiscal quarter of 2019, in two separate conversions, the holder converted $91,592 of principal into 16,870,962 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions the derivative liability related to the debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall increase in the fair value of $27,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $163,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of conversion, of $0.01 and $0.02; a risk-free interest rate of 2.40% to 2.45% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 448.43%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2019 on two separate occasions, the holder converted $46,759 of principal and $7,142 of accrued interest into 5,670,707 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability related to the first debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with an overall increase in the fair value of $17,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $65,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.45 and $0.03; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.41% to 2.45% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 478.31%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

March 21, 2018 Debenture
 
On March 21, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note for the principal amount of $39,199, which includes an OID of $4,199, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, which matures on December 20, 2018. The note bears interest at 12% for the first 180 days, which increases to 18% after 180 days, and 24% upon an event of default. The note is convertible on the date beginning 180 days after issuance of the note, at the lowest of 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to the issuance date of this note, or 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to conversion. The discount is increased upon certain events set forth in the agreement regarding the obtainability of the shares, such as a “DTC chill”. Additionally, if the Company ceases to be a reporting company, or after 181 days the note cannot be converted into freely traded shares, the discount is increased an additional 15%. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved ten times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The Company has not maintained the required share reservation under the terms of the note agreement. The Company believes it has sufficient available shares of the Company’s common stock in the event of conversion for these notes. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at amounts ranging from 125% to 150% of the principal and accrued interest balance, based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from the issuance to 180 days from the date of issuance of the debenture. On September 20, 2018 the outstanding principal and $2,352 in accrued interest of the note was purchased from the noteholder by a third party, for $62,326. The additional $20,775 represents the redemption amount owing to the original noteholder and increases the principal amount due to the new noteholder and was recognized as financing cost.
 
Additionally, the Company also issued 119,300 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The commitment shares fair value was calculated as $13,123, based on the market value of the shares of common stock of the Company at the closing date of $0.11, and was recognized as part of the debt discount.
 
The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the two convertible debentures at issuance at $89,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.06 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.09% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 272.06%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $67,123 (including the fair value of the shares of common stock of the Company issued) was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
On December 6, 2018, the holder converted $20,160 of principal into 6,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability related to the debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with an overall increase in the fair value of $14,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $36,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.02; a risk-free interest rate of 2.41% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 448.43%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2019, on two separate occasions, the holder converted the remaining principal balance of $43,488 and $1,127 of accrued interest into 4,921,835 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversion the derivative liability related to the first debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversion with an overall increase in the fair value of $20,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $95,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.02 and $0.40; a risk-free interest rate of 2.36% and 2.41% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 448.43% and $478.31%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

April 10, 2018 Debenture
 
On April 10, 2018, the Company entered into two 10% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $110,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, with maturity dates of April 10, 2019. The interest upon an event of default, as defined in the note, is 24% per annum. Each note was in the face amount of $55,000, with $2,750 for legal fees deducted upon funding. The first of the notes was paid for by the buyer in cash upon closing, with the other note ("Back-End Note") initially paid for by the issuance of an offsetting $55,000 secured promissory note issued to the Company by the buyer (“Buyer Note”). The interest rate increases to 24% upon an event of default, as set forth in the agreement, including a cross default to all other outstanding notes, and if the debenture is not paid at maturity the principal due increases by 10%. If the Company loses its bid price the principal outstanding on the debenture increases by 20%, and if the Company’s common stock is delisted, the principal increases by 50%. An event of default also occurs if the Company’s common stock has a closing bid price of less than $0.03 per share for at least five consecutive days, or the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock is less than $20,000 in any five consecutive days. The Company’s common stock closing bid price fell below $0.03 on June 18, 2018 and continued for over five consecutive days, and the Company is therefore in default on the note. The Company has obtained a waiver from the holder on this technical default. Due to the default the holder cancelled the Back-End and Buyer notes as of September 30, 2018. Upon cancellation the remaining unamortized debt discount of $27,500 was immediately expensed. Also, as a result of the cancellation, the fair value of the derivative liability related to the Back-End note was remeasured with a decrease in the fair value of $128,000 recognized, and the fair value of the derivative liability related to the note of $91,500 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.01; a risk-free interest rate of 2.36% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 223.20%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 57% of the lowest closing bid price for the last 20 days. The discount is increased an additional 10%, to 47%, upon a “DTC chill”. The Company has not maintained the required share reservation under the terms of the note agreement. The Back-End note is not convertible until the buyer has settled the Buyer Notes in a cash payment. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at amounts ranging from 130% to 145% of the principal and accrued interest balance, based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from 60 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of the debenture.
 
The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the two convertible debentures at issuance at $348,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.09 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.09% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 272.06%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $243,500 was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
During the third fiscal quarter of 2019, in four separate conversions, the note was fully converted into 18,832,713 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions the derivative liability related to the debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall decrease in the fair value of $5,500 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $86,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of conversion, of $0.02; a risk-free interest rate of 2.28% to 2.39% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 193.06% to 448.43%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

As of September 30, 2018, the Back End note and the related collateralized note receivable were cancelled, as per the terms of the note, and the Company’s stock price fell below $0.03. Upon cancellation, the related derivative was reclassed to equity, and the remaining unamortized debt discount was immediately expensed.
 
April 27, 2018 Debenture
 
On April 27, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note for the principal amount of $53,000 for a purchase price of $50,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, which matures on January 27, 2019. The note bears interest at 12% for the first 180 days, which increases to 18% after 180 days, and 24%. The interest rate increases to 24% upon an event of default, as set forth in the agreement, including a cross default to all other outstanding notes. Additionally, in the majority of events of default, except for the non-payment of the note upon maturity, the note becomes immediately due and payable at an amount at 150% of the principal plus accrued interest due.
 
The note is convertible on the date beginning 180 days after issuance of the note, at the lowest of 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to the issuance date of this note, or 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to conversion. The discount rate is adjusted based on various situations regarding the ability to deliver the shares of common stock, such as in the event of a "DTC chill" or the Company ceases to be a reporting company. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved ten times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The Company has not maintained the required share reservation under the terms of the note agreement. The Company believes it has sufficient available shares of the Company’s common stock in the event of conversion for these notes. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the debenture at issuance at $159,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.09 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.24% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 272.06%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $109,000 was immediately expensed as financing costs.
 
During the third fiscal quarter of 2019, in two separate conversions, the holder converted $35,000 of principal into 13,246,753 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the conversions the derivative liability related to the debenture was remeasured immediately prior to the conversions with an overall increase in the fair value of $13,000 recognized, with the fair value of the derivative liability related to the converted portion, of $79,000 being reclassified to equity. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of conversion, of $0.01 to $0.02; a risk-free interest rate of 2.34% to 2.43% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 193.06% to 448.43%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

June 5, 2018 Debenture
 
On June 5, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note for the principal amount of $125,000 for a purchase price of $118,800, convertible on the date beginning 180 days after issuance of the note, into shares of common stock of the Company, which matures on June 5, 2019. The note bears interest at 12%, which increases to 18% upon an event of default, as defined in the agreement. The note is convertible at 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to conversion, with the discount increased 5% in the event the Company does not have sufficient shares authorized and outstanding to issue the shares upon conversion request. The conversion price is adjusted upon a future dilutive issuance, to the lower of the conversion price or a 25% discount to the aggregate per share common share price. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved four times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The Company has not maintained the required share reservation under the terms of the note agreement. The Company believes it has sufficient available shares of the Company’s common stock in the event of conversion for these notes. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at amounts ranging from 135% to 145% of the principal and accrued interest balance, based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from 90 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of the debenture. After 180 days, the note is redeemable, with the holder’s prior written consent, at 150% of the principal and accrued interest balance. During the fourth quarter of 2019, effective as of December 6, 2018, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the note was purchased from the noteholder by a third party, and replaced with a new convertible debenture with a new principal balance of $210,460 (disclosed below). The additional $85,460 was recognized as financing cost.
 
The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the debenture at issuance at $375,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.04 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.32% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 292.85%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

September 14, 2018 Debenture
 
On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into a 12% convertible promissory note for $112,500, with an OID of $10,250, which matures on March 14, 2019. There is a right of prepayment in the first 180 days, but there is no right to repay after 180 days. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The Company has not maintained the required share reservation under the terms of the note agreement. The Company believes it has sufficient available shares of the Company’s common stock in the event of conversion for these notes. The interest rate increases to a default rate of 24% for events as set forth in the agreement, including if the market capitalization is below $5 million, or there are any dilutive issuances. There is also a cross default provision to all other notes. In the event of default, the outstanding principal balance increases to 150%, and if the Company fails to maintain the required authorized share reserve, the outstanding principal increases to 200%. Additionally, If the Company enters into a 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) issuance of shares there are liquidation damages of 25% of principal, not to be below $15,000. The Company must also obtain the noteholder's written consent before issuing any new debt. Additionally, if the note is not repaid by the maturity date the principal balance increases by $15,000. The market capitalization is below $5 million and therefore the note was in default, however, the holder has issued a waiver to the Company on this default provision.
 
The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion rate that is equal to the lesser of 60% of the lowest trading price for the last 20 days prior to the issuance of the note or 60% of the lowest market price over the 20 days prior to conversion. The conversion price shall be adjusted upon subsequent sales of securities at a price lower than the original conversion price. There are additional 10% adjustments to the conversion price for events set forth in the agreement, including if the conversion price is less than $0.01, if the Company is not DTC eligible, the Company is no longer a reporting company, or the note cannot be converted into free trading shares on or after nine months from issue date. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
Additionally, in connection with the debenture the Company also issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a commitment fee. The fair value of the commitment shares was calculated as $34,500, based on the market value of the shares of common stock at the closing date of $0.012, and was recognized as part of the debt discount. The shares are to be returned to the Treasury of the Company in the event the debenture is fully repaid prior to the date which is 180 days following the issue date but are not required to be returned if there is an event of default.

The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion, of $0.02; a risk-free interest rate of 2.43% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 448.43% , and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.
 
On January 25, 2019 the outstanding principal of $101,550, plus an additional $56,375 of default principal and $13,695 in accrued interest of the note was purchased from the noteholder by a third party. The additional $70,070 representing the default principal and accrued interest which increased the principal amount due to the new noteholder has been recognized as financing cost.
 
October 30, 2018 Debenture
 
On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an 8% convertible promissory note for $113,300, with an OID of $10,300, which matures on October 30, 2019. During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at a prepayment percentage of 123% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved four times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. The interest rate increases to a default rate of 24% for events as set forth in the agreement. In the event of default, the outstanding principal balance increases to 150%, and if the Company fails to maintain the required authorized share reserve or is unable to issue the requested shares upon a conversion notice, the outstanding principal increases to 200%.
 
The note is convertible after 180 days at a variable conversion rate that is 75% of the average of the lowest two trading prices over the 15 days prior to conversion. The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and is accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the debenture at issuance at $173,000, based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.01 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 2.66% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 294.17%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount being greater than the face amount of the debt, and the excess amount of $73,000 was immediately expensed as financing costs.

December 6, 2018 Debenture
 
On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into an 10% convertible promissory note for $210,460, which matures on September 6, 2019. During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at a prepayment percentage of 120% to 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from 60 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of the debenture. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. In the event of default, as set forth in the agreement, the outstanding principal balance increases to 150%. In addition to standard events of default, an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company shall lose the “bid” price for its Common Stock, on trading markets, including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange. If the Company enters into a 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) issuance of shares there are liquidation damages of 25% of principal, not to be below $15,000. The Company must also obtain the noteholder's written consent before issuing any new debt. The note is convertible at a fixed conversion price of $0.01. If an event of default occurs, the fixed conversion price is extinguished and replaced by a variable conversion rate that is 70% of the lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to conversion. The fixed conversion price shall reset upon any future dilutive issuance of shares, options or convertible securities. The conversion feature at issuance meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and therefore qualifies for the scope exception in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10-15-74(a) and would not be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the date of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was a $136,799 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method. The amortization expense recognized during the year ended March 31, 2019 amounted to approximately $46,000.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
 
Preferred Stock
 
As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 200,000,000 preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001.
 
On August 15, 2018, the Company authorized 5,000,000 of their Preferred Stock to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A PS”), with a par value of $0.0001. The Series A PS shall have 60 to 1 voting rights such that each share shall vote as to 60 shares of common stock. The Series A PS holders shall not be entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A PS shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of $0.00l per share before any payment or distribution shall be made on the common stock, or any other class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A PS. The Series A PS is convertible, after two years from the date of issuance, with the consent of a majority of the Series A PS holders, into the same number of shares of common stock of the Company as are outstanding at the time.
 
On August 21, 2018, the NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc.(“NSH”) shareholders exchanged 75,000,000 of the shares of common stock of the Company which they held, into 5,000,000 newly issued Series A PS. The shares of common stock were returned to the treasury and cancelled. The Series A PS do not have any redemption feature and are therefore classified in permanent equity. The conversion feature was evaluated, and as at the commitment date the fair value of the shares of common stock exchanged was greater than the fair value of the shares into which they would be converted, it was determined there was no beneficial aspect to the conversion feature.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $5,645,000 of federal net operating loss carry forwards. These carry forwards, if not used, will begin to expire in 2028. Future utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company believes that the issuance of its common stock in exchange for Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc. January 30, 2015 resulted in an “ownership change” under the rules and regulations of Section 382. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to utilize their net operating losses generated prior to this date is limited to approximately $282,000 annually.
 
To the extent that the tax deduction is included in a net operating loss carry forward and is in excess of amounts recognized for book purposes, no benefit will be recognized until the loss carry forward is recognized. Upon utilization and realization of the carry forward, the corresponding change in the deferred asset and valuation allowance will be recorded as additional paid-in capital.
 
The Company provides for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in those taxing jurisdictions to utilize the assets. Therefore, we have not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements. Our net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance increased by $368,000 in the year ended March 31, 2019.
 
The Company reviewed all income tax positions taken or that we expect to be taken for all open years and determined that our income tax positions are appropriately stated and supported for all open years. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2012 due to unexpired net operating loss carryforwards originating in and subsequent to that year. The Company may be subject to income tax examinations for the various taxing authorities which vary by jurisdiction.

The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. As of March 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed FDIC coverage.
 
NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Executive Employment Agreements – Bill Williams and Gerald Easterling
 
On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of Bill G. Williams, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Gerald Easterling as the Company’s President, effective as of April 1, 2015 (the “Employment Agreements”).
 
The Employment Agreements are each terminable at will and each provide for a base annual salary of $96,000. In addition, the Employment Agreements each provide that the employee is entitled, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, to receive performance bonuses. Each employee will also be entitled to certain benefits including health insurance and monthly allowances for cell phone and automobile expenses.
 
Each Employment Agreement provides that in the event employee is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (each as defined in their Employment Agreements), the employee will receive, as severance the employee’s base salary for a period of 60 months following the date of termination. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the employee may elect to terminate the Employment Agreement within 30 days thereafter and upon such termination would receive a lump sum payment equal to 500% of the employee’s base salary.
 
Each Employment Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and non-solicitation of employees for a period of one year following termination of the employee’s Employment Agreement.
 
Vista Capital Investments, LLC
 
On April 30, 2019, a complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas alleging that the Company breached a provision in a common stock purchase warrant (the “Vista Warrant”) issued by the Company to Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista”). Vista alleges that the Company failed to issue certain shares of the Company’s common stock as was required under the terms of the Vista Warrant. Vista is currently seeking money damages in the approximate amount of $7,000,000, which the Company believes is unwarranted and excessive, as well as costs and reimbursement of expenses. As of the date hereof, no hearing has been scheduled, but the Company is vigorously defending itself against these claims, preparing a counter-claim against Vista and taking such other appropriate action, in addition to seeking for other costs and relief as may be appropriate.
  
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Subsequent to year end, the Company has converted approximately $19,000 of their outstanding convertible debt as of March 31, 2019 and approximately $11,000 of accrued interest, into 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
On April 9, 2019, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 2,118,645 shares of common stock, at $0.14, for a total of $300,000. On April 23, 2019, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 2,071,824 shares of common stock, at $0.14, for a total of $300,000. On May 6, 2019, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 2,192,983 shares of common stock, at $0.14, for a total of $300,000. On May 21, 2019, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 2,038,044 shares of common stock, at $0.15, for a total of $300,000. On May 31, 2019, the Company put to GHS for the issuance of 3,061,225 shares of common stock, at $0.10, for a total of $300,000.

On April 17, 2019, the Company entered into an 10% convertible promissory note for $110,000, with an OID of $10,000, for a purchase price of $100,000, which matures on January 23, 2020. During the first 180 days the convertible redeemable note is in effect, the Company may redeem the note at a prepayment percentage of 120% to 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest based on the redemption date’s passage of time ranging from 60 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of the debenture. Per the agreement, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the note. In the event of default, as set forth in the agreement, the outstanding principal balance increases to 150%. In addition to standard events of default, an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company shall lose the "bid" price for its Common Stock, on trading markets, including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange. If the Company enters into a 3 (a)(9) or 3(a)(10) issuance of shares there are liquidation damages of 25% of principal, not to be below $15,000. The Company must also obtain the noteholder's written consent before issuing any new debt. The note is convertible at a fixed conversion price of $0.124. If an event of default occurs, the fixed conversion price is extinguished and replaced by a variable conversion rate that is 70% of the lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to conversion. The fixed conversion price shall reset upon any future dilutive issuance of shares, options or convertible securities. The conversion feature at issuance meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and therefore qualifies for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and would not be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the date of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was an approximately $59,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method.
