Notes to the Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2019
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of PCT LTD (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2018 audited financial statements as reported in its Form 10-K, filed on April 15, 2019.
Nature of Operations
PCT
LTD (formerly Bingham Canyon Corporation, (the “Company,” “PCT Ltd,” or “Bingham”), a Delaware
corporation, was formed on August 27, 1986. The Company changed its domicile to Nevada on August 26, 1999.
On August 31, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Paradigm Convergence Technologies Corporation (“Paradigm”) to affect the acquisition of Paradigm as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Bingham issued 16,790,625 restricted common shares of Bingham stock to the shareholders of Paradigm in exchange for all 22,387,500 outstanding common shares of Paradigm stock. In addition, Bingham issued options exercisable into 2,040,000 shares of the Bingham’s common stock (with exercise prices ranging between $0.133 and $0.333) in exchange for 2,720,000 outstanding Paradigm stock options (with exercise prices ranging between $0.10 and $0.25). These 2,040,000 options have been adjusted at the same exchange rate of 75% that the outstanding common shares were exchanged. As a result of this share exchange agreement, Paradigm, the operating company, is considered the accounting acquirer.
Paradigm is located in Little River, SC and was formed June 6, 2012 under the name of EUR-ECA, Ltd. On September 11, 2015, its Board of Directors authorized EUR-ECA Ltd to file with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name to Paradigm Convergence Technologies Corp. Paradigm is a technology licensing company specializing in environmentally safe solutions for global sustainability. The company holds a patent, intellectual property and/or distribution rights to innovative products and technologies. Paradigm provides innovative products and technologies for eliminating biocidal contamination from water supplies, industrial fluids, hard surfaces, food processing equipment, and medical devices. Paradigm’s overall strategy is to market new products and technologies through the use of equipment leasing, joint ventures, licensing, distributor agreements and partnerships.
Effective on March 23, 2018 the Company changed its name from Bingham Canyon Corporation to PCT LTD to more accurately identify the Company’s direction and to develop the complimentary relationship and association with its wholly-owned operating company, Paradigm Convergence Technologies Corporation (“Paradigm” or “PCT Corp.”).
Principles of Consolidations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCT LTD (“Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Paradigm Convergence Technologies Corporation (“Paradigm” or “Subsidiary”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash and highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less. The cash of $9,067 and $4,893 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, represents cash on deposit in various bank accounts. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable, is used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
• | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. |
The carrying values of our financial instruments, including, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.
Derivative liabilities and preferred stock liabilities are determined based on “Level 3” inputs, which are significant and unobservable and have the lowest priority. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019, consisted of the following:

Total | 467,328 | — | — | 467,328 |
(1) The Company has estimated the fair value of these liabilities using the Binomial Model.
Derivative and Preferred Stock Liabilities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company’s policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads, relying first on observable data from active markets. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had a $588,157 and $322,976 derivative liability, respectively and preferred stock liabilities of $57,394 and $144,352, respectively.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. See Note 7 for additional information.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the time product is shipped or services are provided including any shipping and handling fees. The Company provided allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all receivables. Accounts receivable is periodically evaluated for collectability bases on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company’s management determines which accounts are past due and if deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable in the period the determination is made. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. We record the value of our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand, future pricing and market conditions. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the inventory consisted of parts for equipment sold as replacement parts to existing customers or sold to new customers. The Company has recorded a reserve allowance of $0 and $0 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has determined that some of the supplies inventory is necessary to be placed into service, after assembly into equipment to be used in product manufacturing and classified as Machinery and Equipment. The balance at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of such supplies and equipment not yet placed in service amounted to $319,735 and $319,735, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at purchased cost and depreciated utilizing a straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years after the asset has been placed in service. Upon selling equipment that had been under a lease agreement, the company discontinues the depreciation on that piece of equipment, as it transfers ownership to another entity. Additions and major improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon trade-in, sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are recorded in the results of operations.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The carrying values of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the carrying value is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Under similar analysis no impairment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Intangible Assets
Costs to obtain or develop patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the patents, and technology rights are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company currently has the right to several patents and proprietary technology. Patents and technology are amortized from the date the Company acquires or is awarded the patent or technology right, over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 15 years. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets as determined by projected discounted net future cash flows. The recorded impairment expense was nil for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are recognized as an expense during the period incurred, which is until the conceptual formulation, design, and testing of a process is completed and the process has been determined to be commercially viable.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach did not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities for our lease agreements with original terms of greater than one year. Upon implementation, the Company recognized an initial operating lease right-of-use asset of $43,330 and operating lease liability of $43,330. Due to the simplistic nature of the Company's leases, no retained earnings adjustment was required. See Note 5 for further details.

Revenue Recognition
On May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principal is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company has the following three revenue streams:
1) | product sales (equipment and/or fluid solutions); |
2) | licensing (contract-based use of the Company’s US EPA Product Registration, returning revenue in licensing fees and/or royalties from minimum or actual fluid sales); and |
3) | equipment leases (under systems service agreements, usually 3-year contracts for the provision of the Company’s equipment and service of such, under contract to customers, with renewable terms). |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer.
The Company recognizes revenue from the leasing of equipment as the entity provides the equipment and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits through the use of the equipment. This revenue generating activity would meet the criteria for a performance obligation satisfied over time. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue over time by using the output method, as the Company can measure progress of the performance obligation using the time elapsed under each obligation.
The Company’s licenses provide a right to use and create performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue from licenses when the performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of the license. For licenses that include royalties the Company will recognize royalty revenue as the underlying sales or usages occur, as long as this approach does not result in the acceleration of revenue ahead of the entity’s performance.
The Company has disclosed disaggregated revenue via revenue stream on the face of the statement of operations. The Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities at March 31, 2019.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2019, there were outstanding common share equivalents (options, warrants, convertible debt and preferred stock) which amounted to 13,033,694 shares of common stock. These common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all other FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter the previous GAAP and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited assets, has incurred losses since inception of $10,847,326 and has negative cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,823,247. The Company has relied on raising debt and equity capital in order to fund its ongoing day-to-day operations and its corporate overhead. The Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations, from debt or equity financing, or from a combination of these sources. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment, which range from 3 to 7 years once placed into service. Depreciation expense does not begin until documentation of equipment placed in service is provided. Machinery and leased equipment is not intended to be sold to the customer at the end of the lease term. Depreciation expense was $5,884 (2018 - $5,652) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Property and equipment at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

Machinery and leased equipment | $ | 138,209 | $ | 138,209 | ||||

NOTE 4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Amortization is computed using the straight-line method and is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, which range from 1 to 15 years. Amortization expense was $79,028 and $81,044 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively. Intangible assets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

NOTE 5 – LEASES
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which introduced a lessee model that requires the majority of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the ASU using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition option to recognize the adjustment in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $43,330 and $43,330 respectively, as of January 1, 2019. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The depreciable lives of operating lease assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The Company used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.
The following table sets forth the ROU assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2019:
March 31, 2019 | ||||
Operating lease right-of-use asset | $ | 31,513 | ||
Operating lease liability: | ||||
Current operating lease liability | $ | 33,066 | ||
Noncurrent operating lease liability | — | |||
Total operating lease liability | $ | 33,066 |
Expense related to leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including rent holidays. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease expense of $15,954. Operating lease costs are included within selling, administrative and other expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $14,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reduced its ROU liabilities by $10,263 from cash paid.
Our weighted average discount rate is 41% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 8 months. Lease payments over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
March 31, 2019 | ||||
2019 - remaining | $ | 38,400 | ||
2020 and thereafter | — | |||
Total lease payments | 38,400 | |||
Less: imputed interest | (5,334 | ) | ||
Total ROU liabilities | $ | 33,066 |
As previously disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K under the prior guidance of ASC 840, minimum payments under operating lease agreements as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:

* Embedded conversion feature accounted for as a derivative liability ** Paid off during the period |
d) | On January 15, 2019, the Company executed a new, consolidated convertible note with a non-related party by extinguishing the March 28, 2018 convertible note in the amount of $450,000 with interest due of $28,898 and a $60,000 term note, dated October 31, 2018 with interest due of $1,038. The new convertible note is in the amount of $539,936, is due on or before January 15, 2022, has an 8.00% per annum interest rate and may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.20 per share. The new note incorporates an anti-dilution feature if the Company issues more than 60,000,000 shares of its common stock. The embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature was $292,651. The company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $350,117 equal to the initial fair value of derivative liability on the new note and the previous unamortized debt discount balance of one the old notes. | |
On March 27, 2019, the Company agreed to convert $548,686 of principal ($539,936) and interest ($8,750) of its convertible note payable into 3,597,989 shares of the Company’s common stock. The company recorded a gain on settlement of debt of $359,857 equal to the difference between both the fair value of the common shares of $523,867 and the fair value of the conversion feature at conversion of $335,038 compared to the carrying value of the note and interest. |
e) | On January 16, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unrelated party for $33,000 of which $3,000 was an original issue discount resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $30,000. The note is due on January 15, 2020 and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 12% per annum. Stringent pre-payment terms apply (from 12% to 37%, dependent upon the timeframe of repayment during the note’s term) and any part of the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date until paid. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 61% of the average 3 lowest trading prices during the 15 trading day period prior to the conversion date. Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The note isn’t convertible until 180 days following funding and no derivative liability was recognized as of March 31, 2019. | |
f) | On January 18, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unrelated party for $100,000 of which $5,000 was an original issue discount and $5,000 was paid directly to third parties resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $90,000. The note is due on January 16, 2020 and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum. Stringent pre-payment terms apply (from 10% to 30%, dependent upon the timeframe of repayment during the note’s term) and any part of the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 24% per annum from the due date until paid. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 64% of the average 2 lowest trading prices during the 10 trading day period prior to the conversion date. Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The note isn’t convertible until 180 days following funding and no derivative liability was recognized as of March 31, 2019. | |
g) | On January 29, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unrelated for $60,000 of which $3,000 was an original issue discount and $8,000 was paid directly to third parties resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $49,000. The note is due on January 22, 2020 and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum. Stringent pre-payment terms apply (from 10% to 30%, dependent upon the timeframe of repayment during the note’s term) and any part of the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the due date until paid. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of 64% of the average 2 lowest trading prices during the 10 trading day period prior to the conversion date or $0.12. Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The note isn’t convertible until 180 days following funding and no derivative liability was recognized as of March 31, 2019. | |
h) | On February 1, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unrelated party for $50,000 of which $5,000 was an original issue discount resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $45,000. The note is due on October 22, 2019 and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 12% per annum and a default interest rate of 24% per annum. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal 50% of the lowest trading price during the 20 trading day period prior to the conversion date. If at any time the closing sales price falls below $0.03, then an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the conversion price. | |
The embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature was $158,142 and resulted in a discount to the note payable of $50,000 and an initial derivative expense of $113,142. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded accretion of $8,602 increasing the carrying value of the note to $8,602. |

i) | On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unrelated party for $60,000 of which $5,000 was an original issue discount and $8,000 was paid directly to third parties resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $47,000. The Company also issued a warrant with a term of five years to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share and subject to adjustment for dilutive issuances and cashless exercise. The note is due on February 14, 2022 and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 0% per annum. Stringent pre-payment terms apply (from 10% to 40%, dependent upon the timeframe of repayment during the note’s term) and in the event of default an additional 40% of the principal and interest balance shall be owed. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of 60% of the lowest trading price during the 20 trading day period prior to the conversion date or $0.12. If at any time the closing sales price falls below $0.01, then an additional 10% discount will be attributed to the conversion price. | |
The embedded conversion option and warrant qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $124,796 and the warrant of $51,856 resulted in a discount to the note payable of $60,000 and an initial derivative expense of $129,652. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded accretion of $6,530 increasing the carrying value of the note to $6,530. |
j) | On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unrelated party for $55,125 of which $2,500 was an original issue discount and $2,625 was paid directly to third parties resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $50,000. The note is due on February 20, 2020 and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 8% per annum. Stringent pre-payment terms apply (from 10% to 30%, dependent upon the timeframe of repayment during the note’s term) and any part of the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 24% per annum from the due date until paid. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 64% of the average 2 lowest trading prices during the 10 trading day period prior to the conversion date. Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE AND PREFERRED STOCK LIABILITIES
The embedded conversion option of (1) the convertible debentures described in Note 6; (2) preferred stock liability; (3) warrants; contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of the liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.
Upon the issuance of the convertible notes payable described in Note 6, the Company concluded that it only has sufficient shares to satisfy the conversion of some but not all of the outstanding convertible notes, warrants and options. The Company elected to reclassify contracts from equity with the earliest inception date first. As a result, none of the Company’s previously outstanding convertible instruments qualified for derivative reclassification, however, any convertible securities issued after the election, including the warrants described in Note 10, qualified for derivative classification. The Company reassesses the classification of the instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities.
March 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
Balance at the beginning of period | $ | 322,976 | $ | — | ||||
Original discount limited to proceeds of notes | 156,750 | 100,000 | ||||||

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option and warrant liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Binomial Model based on various assumptions.
Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:
Expected Volatility | Risk-free Interest Rate | Expected Dividend Yield | Expected Life (in years) | |||||||||||||
At issuance | 128-252 | % | 2.42-2.51 | % | 0 | % | 0.72-5.00 | |||||||||
At March 31, 2019 | 130-239 | % | 2.21-2.44 | % | 0 | % | 0.56-4.96 |
On December 1, 2018, the Company’s Board of Director authorized an offering for 1,000,000 Preferred Series “A” stock at $0.10 per share and with 100%, regular or cashless exercise at $0.10 per share of common stock warrant coverage. At December 31, 2018, the Company received $60,000 of subscriptions for the issuance of 600,000 shares of Preferred Series “A” stock to three accredited investors who are related parties. This Preferred Series “A” stock had not been issued as of March 31, 2019. The Company did issue 600,000 warrants subject to cashless exercise at $0.10 per share for 5 years.

The Company is unable to issue the subscriber the preferred shares until the Company files a Certificate of Designation and the Preferred Series “A” stock has been duly validly authorized. At March 31, 2019, the Company had not filed the Certificate of Designation, and as the Company cannot issue the preferred shares to settle the proceeds received, it was determined the subscriptions were settleable in cash. As a result, the Company has classified the subscriptions received as a liability in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the liability of the preferred stock at December 31, 2018 was $144,352.
On March 29, 2019, the Company executed a settlement agreement that included the settlement of 100,000 of the Series A Preferred Shares and 100,000 of the warrants subscribed for as part of the December 1, 2018 offering. The Company agreed to issue 164,000 shares of its common stock as payment in full $25,000 owed to the subscriber for services rendered; the Company agreed to accept conversion and exercise of the purchased 100,000 Preferred Series A shares into 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company shall accept the cashless conversion of 100,000 warrant into 34,400 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock; and, as inducement for and consideration for the settlement of the Company’s debt, the Company agrees to grant 500,000 additional shares of the Company’s restricted stock. The Company recorded the fair value of the shares issued of $103,792 and recorded a loss on the settlement of the subscriptions and the amounts payable of $55,830. The Company has not issued any shares with regard to the settlement of this debt at the time of this report.
The fair value of the liability of the preferred stock at March 31, 2019 was $57,394. The Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the preferred shares of $75,477.
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the preferred share liability as their fair values were determined by using the Binomial Model based on various assumptions.
Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

15 |
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the parties agreed to enter into a definitive agreement that will provide for the following, among other things:
1. | All of the common shares in the capital of the Registrant will be exchanged for common shares of Magnolia at a ratio resulting in the stockholders of the Registrant, including following the conversion of certain debt, owning 60% of the Resulting Issuer and the shareholders of the Company owning 40% of the Resulting Issuer on an undiluted basis. |
2. | The Registrant will use its best efforts to convert a minimum of USD$1.4million of its current debt in shares of common stock. |
3. | Magnolia will have no material liabilities, approximately CAD$1.8 million in cash and 57,977,098 common shares issued and outstanding along with options and warrants outstanding. |
4. | Magnolia will loan the Registrant CAD$250,000 following execution of the LOI and Magnolia will arrange to have a third-party loan the Registrant an additional CAD$400,000. Both loans will convert into shares of common stock upon closing of the Proposed Transaction. |
5. | The Board of Directors of the Resulting Issuer is expected to be comprised of six members, with three members nominated by Magnolia and three members nominated by the Registrant. |
6. | The Resulting Issuer shall enter into consulting agreements with members of the Forbes & Manhattan team to provide services as the CFO, Secretary, Controller, Legal Clerk and Investors Relations Manager.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including without limitation stockholder approval of the Proposed Transaction, regulatory approval for the listing of the common shares of Magnolia on the CSE and the concurrent delisting of the common shares of Magnolia from the TSXV. The proposed delisting from the TSXV will also require the approval of the Magnolia Board as well as the consent of the majority of the minority of the shareholders of Magnolia.
If a definitive agreement is not executed by the parties on or before April 27, 2019 (or such other date agreed to by the parties), the LOI will terminate. As of April 28, 2019, we had not entered into a definitive agreement with Magnolia or agreed to any extensions of the LOI, therefore the LOI terminated. However, we continue to negotiate with Magnolia for a potential future transaction.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
On August 31, 2016, PCT LTD entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Paradigm Convergence Technologies Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Paradigm”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Paradigm became the wholly-owned subsidiary of PCT LTD after the exchange transaction. PCT LTD is a holding company, which through Paradigm is engaged in the business of marketing new products and technologies through licensing and joint ventures.
PCT LTD had not recorded revenues for the two fiscal years prior to its acquisition of Paradigm and was dependent upon financing to continue basic operations. Paradigm has recorded revenue since it initiated operations in 2012; however, those revenues have not been sufficient to finance operations. The Company recorded a net loss of $920,323 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and accumulated losses of $10,847,326 from inception through March 31, 2019.
PCT LTD remains dependent upon additional financing to continue operations. The Company intends to raise additional financing through private placements of its common stock and note payable issuances. We expect that we would issue such stock pursuant to exemptions to the registration requirements provided by federal and state securities laws. The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs, as discussed below, and the available exemptions to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, then our stockholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.
The expected costs for the next twelve months include:
• | continuation of commercial launch of non-toxic sanitizing, disinfecting and sterilizing products and technologies with a strong emphasis on health care facilities, including hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, clinics and medical, dental and veterinarian offices; |
• | continued research and development on product generation units including those designed for on-site deployment at customers’ facilities; |
• | accelerated research and development and initial commercialization on applications of the products in the agricultural sector, most specifically with respect to abatement of a specific crop disease crisis caused by a bacterium in the U.S. and elsewhere; |
• | acquiring available complementary technology rights; |
• | payment of short-term debt; |
• | hiring of additional personnel in 2019; and |
• | general and administrative operating costs. |
Management projects these costs to total approximately $2,500,000. To minimize these costs, the Company intends to maintain its practice of controlling operating overheads with efficient facilities commitments, generally below market salaries and consulting fees, and rigorous prioritization of expenditure requirements. Based on its understanding of the commercial readiness of its products and technologies, the capabilities of its personnel (current and being hired), established business relationships and the general market conditions, management believes that the Company expects to be close to profitability by the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. We do not anticipate generating sufficient positive internal operating cash flow until such time as we can deliver our products to market and generate substantial revenues, which may take the next full year to fully realize, if ever. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.
SUMMARY OF BALANCE SHEET | March 31, 2019 |
December 31, 2018 | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 9,067 | $ | 4,893 | ||||
Total current assets | 195,040 | 281,742 | ||||||
Total assets | 4,714,403 | 4,846,988 | ||||||
Total liabilities | 3,024,817 | 3,141,401 | ||||||
Accumulated deficit | (10,847,326 | ) | (9,927,003 | ) | ||||
Total stockholders’ equity | $ | 1,689,586 | $ | 1,705,587 |
At March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of 920,323 and a working capital deficit of $2,823,247. We have recorded a relatively small amount of revenues from operations since inception and we have not established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs. During the three months ended 2019 and 2018 we have primarily relied upon advances and loans from stockholders and third parties to fund our operations. The Company has relied on raising debt and equity capital in order to fund its ongoing day-to-day operations and its corporate overhead. We had $9,067 in cash at March 31, 2019, compared to $4,893 in cash at December 31, 2018. We had total liabilities of $3,024,817 at March 31, 2019 compared to $3,141,401 at December 31, 2018.
Our current cash flow is not sufficient to meet our monthly expenses of approximately $210,000 and to fund future research and development. We intend to rely on additional debt financing, loans from existing stockholders and private placements of common stock for additional funding in addition to the increasing our recognized revenue from the leasing and/or sale of products; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available. We do not have material commitments for future capital expenditures. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain short-term financing, or that sources of such financing, if any, will continue to be available, and if available, that they will be on favorable terms.
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring additional costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through funds provided by management, significant stockholders and/or third parties. We may also rely on the issuance of our common stock in lieu of cash to convert debt or pay for expenses.
Commitments and Obligations
At March 31, 2019 the Company recorded notes payable totaling approximately $1,542,695 (net of debt discount) compared to notes payable totaling $1,907,011 (net of debt discount) at December 31, 2018. These notes payable represent cash advances received and expenses paid from third parties and related parties. All of the notes payable carry interest from 0% to 13% and are due ranging from on demand to February 14, 2022.
The Company headquarters and operations is located in Little River, South Carolina. The South Carolina lease amounts to $4,800 per month, expires on November 30, 2019 and includes an option to renew for two additional three-year periods. We are currently in arrears in our monthly lease payments.
Results of Operations
SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS | Three month period ended March 31, | |||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
2019 | 2018 | |||||||
Revenues | $ | 195,957 | $ | 42,141 | ||||
Total operating expenses | $ | 824,530 | 547,639 | |||||
Total other expense | 291,750 | 25,804 | ||||||
Net loss | $ | 920,323 | $ | 531,302 | ||||
Basic and diluted loss per share | $ | 0.02 | $ | 0.01 |
Revenues increased to $195,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (the “2019 first quarter”) compared to $42,141 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (the “2019 first quarter”). The revenue increase for the period was due to the increased volume of fluids sold, licensing revenue from EPA sub registrations, equipment sales and the additional revenue from recurring leased-equipment income.
Total operating expenses increased to $824,530 during the 2019 first quarter compared to $547,639 during the 2018 first quarter. The increase during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to an increase in operations as a result of increased activities associated with increased revenue, revenue costs, and increased stock-based compensation.
General and administrative expenses increased to $666,964 for the 2019 first quarter compared to $445,225 during the 2018 first quarter. The increase during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense during the first quarter of 2019 as compared the first quarter of 2018.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased slightly to $84,912 during the 2019 first quarter compared to $86,696 during the 2018 first quarter. Depreciation and amortization was comparable between the two periods.
Total other expenses increased to $291,750 for the 2019 first quarter compared to $25,804 during the 2018 first quarter. The overall increase was a result of an increase in interest expense, loss on settlement of debt, and loss on change in fair value of derivatives. This was offset by a gain on change in fair value of preferred stock liabilities.
As a result of the changes described above, net loss from operations after income taxes decreased to $920,323 during the 2019 first quarter compared to $531,302 during the 2018 first quarter.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any 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 and would be considered material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Derivative and Preferred Stock Liabilities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company’s policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads, relying first on observable data from active markets. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had a $588,157 and $322,976 derivative liability, respectively and preferred stock liabilities of $57,394 and $144,352, respectively.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. See Note 7 for additional information.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the time product is shipped or services are provided including any shipping and handling fees. The Company provided allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all receivables. Accounts receivable is periodically evaluated for collectability bases on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company’s management determines which accounts are past due and if deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable in the period the determination is made. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at purchased cost and depreciated utilizing a straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years after the asset has been placed in service. Upon selling equipment that had been under a lease agreement, the company discontinues the depreciation on that piece of equipment, as it transfers ownership to another entity. Additions and major improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon trade-in, sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are recorded in the results of operations.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The carrying values of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the carrying value is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Under similar analysis no impairment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Intangible Assets
Costs to obtain or develop patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the patents, and technology rights are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company currently has the right to several patents and proprietary technology. Patents and technology are amortized from the date the Company acquires or is awarded the patent or technology right, over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 15 years. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets as determined by projected discounted net future cash flows. The recorded impairment expense was nil for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach did not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities for our lease agreements with original terms of greater than one year. Upon implementation, the Company recognized an initial operating lease right-of-use asset of $43,330 and operating lease liability of $43,330. Due to the simplistic nature of the Company's leases, no retained earnings adjustment was required. See Note 5 for further details.
Revenue Recognition
On May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principal is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company has the following three revenue streams:
1) | product sales (equipment and/or fluid solutions); |
2) | licensing (contract-based use of the Company’s US EPA Product Registration, returning revenue in licensing fees and/or royalties from minimum or actual fluid sales); and |
3) | equipment leases (under systems service agreements, usually 3-year contracts for the provision of the Company’s equipment and service of such, under contract to customers, with renewable terms). |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer.
The Company recognizes revenue from the leasing of equipment as the entity provides the equipment and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits through the use of the equipment. This revenue generating activity would meet the criteria for a performance obligation satisfied over time. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue over time by using the output method, as the Company can measure progress of the performance obligation using the time elapsed under each obligation.
The Company’s licenses provide a right to use and create performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue from licenses when the performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of the license. For licenses that include royalties the Company will recognize royalty revenue as the underlying sales or usages occur, as long as this approach does not result in the acceleration of revenue ahead of the entity’s performance.
The Company has disclosed disaggregated revenue via revenue stream on the face of the statement of operations. The Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities at March 31, 2019.
Recent Accounting Developments
The Company has reviewed all other FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter the previous GAAP and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.

At any time after 180 days after the date of the Note, the Note is convertible into common stock, at Power Up’s option, at a 39% discount to the market price, which is defined as 61% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices for the our common stock during the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date. Power Up has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. We must, at all times, reserve six times that number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note, with an initial reserved share amount of 3,337,236 shares. The disclosure set forth below under Item 5 (Other Information) pertaining to the Power Up Notes and Power Up Agreements is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.
All of the above-described issuances/grants were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. With respect to each transaction listed above, no general solicitation was made by either the Company or any person acting on its behalf. All such securities issued pursuant to such exemptions are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act, appropriate legends have been placed on the documents evidencing the securities, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
As of May 15, 2019, there are 80,494,900 shares of our common stock held in reserve in the event of default on certain convertible notes.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Magnolia Columbia Limited LOI
On March 27, 2019, we entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Magnolia Columbia Limited (“Magnolia”), a Canadian company traded on the TSXV under the symbol “MCO”. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the parties agreed to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement on or before April 27, 2019. As of April 28, 2019, we had not entered into a definitive agreement with Magnolia or agreed to any extensions of the LOI, therefore the LOI terminated. However, we continue to negotiate with Magnolia for a potential future transaction.
Convertible Promissory Notes
Power Up
On June 5, 2018, July 25, 2018, August 27, 2018, December 5, 2018, January 15, 2019, February 22, 2019 and April 29, 2019 (each a “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of seven Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Power Up Notes”) in the principal amounts of $68,000, $38,000, $53,000, $63,000, $33,000, $53,000 and $38,000, respectively, with interest rates of 12% per annum pursuant to the terms of seven Securities Purchase Agreements between Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”), a Virginia corporation, and us (the “Power Up Agreements”). The Power Up Notes mature on June 5, 2019, July 25, 2019, August 27, 2019, December 5, 2019, January 15, 2020, February 22, 2020 and April 29, 2020, respectively (the “Maturity Dates”). We reimbursed Power Up $17,500 for its legal fees and paid Power Up a $3,500 due diligence fee, resulting in net proceeds to us from the Power Up Notes of $65,000, $35,000, $50,000, $60,000, $30,000, $50,000 and $35,000, respectively.
The Power Up Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time during the period beginning on each Closing Date and ending on the date which is 180 days following the issue date, beginning at 112% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest increasing by 5% for every 30 day period thereafter until the 180th day following the Closing Date. After the expiration of the 180 days following the Closing Date, we may not prepay the Note for any reason.
At any time after 180 days after the date the Power Up Notes are issued, the Power Up Notes are convertible into our common stock, at Power Up’s option, at a 39% discount to the market price, which is defined as 61% of the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices for the our common stock during the fifteen (15) trading days prior to the conversion date. The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar corporate events. Further, if we fail to deliver shares to Power Up upon conversion through willful or deliberate hindrance on our part we shall pay to Power Up $2,000 in cash per day as liquidated damages or, at Power Up’s option, such amount being added to the principal amount of the Power Up Notes.
Power Up has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Power Up Notes and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Power Up Notes are a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of us. The Power Up Notes also provide for penalties and rescission rights if we do not deliver shares of common stock upon conversion within the required timeframes set forth in the Power Up Agreements. We must, at all times, reserve six times that number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Power Up Notes, with an initial reserved share amount of 1,592,506, 1,038,251, 1,408,950, 4,099,264, 2,822,523, 3,475,409, 3,337,236 shares (total of 17,774,139 shares), respectively.
The Power Up Notes contain default events which, if triggered and not timely cured (if curable), will result in a default payment equal to 150% the amount owed to Power Up and a default interest at the rate of 22% per annum.
The above description of certain material terms of the Power Up Notes and Power Up Agreements are not a complete description of all terms of the financing transaction and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Power Up Notes and Power Up Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.13 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 and 10.17, respectively.
