TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – DE”), formerly Imagine Media LTD., was incorporated August, 2007 in the State of Delaware. A corporation also named TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – CA”) was formed in the state of California July 4, 2004. Effective September 19, 2011 TransBiotec - DE was acquired by TransBiotec - CA in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of TransBiotec - CA retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of TransBiotec - DE after the share exchange. The financial statements represent the activity of TransBiotec - CA from July 4, 2004 forward, and the consolidated activity of TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA from September 19, 2011 forward. TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company” or “We”. The Company has developed and plans to market and sell a non-invasive alcohol sensing system which includes an ignition interlock. The Company has not generated any revenues from its operations.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 8, 2019.

 

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and results of operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, TransBiotec-CA. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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. Specifically, such estimates were made by the Company for the valuation of derivative liability and beneficial conversion feature expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets or liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The basic and fully diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 820, and ASC 825, , an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, notes payable, related party payables, convertible debentures, and other payables. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of our derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 3” inputs. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

 

  

 

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under other income (expense).

 

 

 

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at its fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period 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. As a result of entering into warrant agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instruments are initially recorded at their fair values and are then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based compensation cost to employees and non-employees is measured by the Company at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and over the requisite service period under ASC 718. For options issued to employees and non-employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit.

 

A subsidiary of the Company has minority members representing ownership interests of 1.38% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company accounts for these minority, or noncontrolling interests, pursuant to ASC 810-10-65 whereby gains and losses in a subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on the ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest, even if that allocation results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.

 

The Company accounts for its research and development costs pursuant to ASC 730, whereby it requires the Company to disclose the amounts of costs for company and customer-sponsored research and development activities, if material. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development costs as it acquired new knowledge to bring about significant improvements in the functionality and design of its SOBR product. Research and development costs were none during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and $8,826 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

 

 

 

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, , which requires a lessee to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. For leases with terms of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This lease standard was effective for public business entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard’s modified retrospective transition approach will require entities to reflect the effect to reflect the effect in the earliest year presented in the financial statements. The Company has adopted this standard; however, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 the Company had one lease identified as an operating lease with a term of less than 12 months, and therefore elected not to recognize the lease on its balance sheet.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU-2017-11, . The first part of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features and the second part addresses the complexity of distinguishing equity from liabilities. The guidance is applicable to public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendments in this update provide guidance on when to record and disclose provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”). The amendments also require any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments to be included in net income from continuing operations. Additionally, this ASU discusses required disclosures that an entity must make with regard to the Tax Reform Act. This ASU is effective immediately as new information is available to adjust provisional amounts that were previously recorded. The Company has adopted this new standard; however, the Company currently has no revenue and only net operating loss carryforwards that result in a tax benefit during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. The Company also has no deferred tax assets (offset in full by a valuation allowance) or tax liabilities on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

 

 

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, . This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. The Company has adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company made no share-based payments to non-employees and did not grant stock warrants or stock options for services rendered or goods received during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.

 

 

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit, and in all likelihood, will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with continuing marketing efforts along with general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $18,771,905, a $13,185 cash balance, carrying loans of principal and interest in default totaling $1,404,228, and negative cash flows from operating activities of $202,529. These principal conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. As such, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On May 25, 2017, the Company increased their number of unauthorized shares from 100,000,000 to 800,000,000 as they hope to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions or others, and debt restructure (conversion of debt to equity). By doing so, the Company further hopes to generate revenues from sales of its alcohol sensing and ignition lock systems. The Company is currently engaged in talks with potential sales reps, funding sources, and manufacturers.

 

 

 

The Company is also considering opportunities to create synergy with its SOBR product. On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with First Capital Holdings, LLC (“FCH”). The LOI sets forth the terms under which the Company could potentially acquire certain assets related to robotics equipment from FCH in exchange for shares of their common stock equal to 60% of our then outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis. The LOI is non-binding and subject to various conditions that must be met in order for the parties to close the transaction, including, but not limited to, (i) the Company being current in its reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company completing a reverse stock split of its common stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction with no convertible instruments other than as set forth herein, (iii) the Company having no more than $125,000 in outstanding debt, all in the form of convertible notes that mature in two years post-closing and are convertible into shares of TransBiotec common stock at $2.00 per share; (iv) FCH completing any necessary audits and reviews of the financial statements related to the assets by a PCAOB-approved independent registered accounting firm, and (v) the parties executing definitive documents related to the potential transaction. On March 6, 2019, the parties entered into an amendment No. 1 to the LOI in order to extend certain dates in the LOI namely : (i) the date for the parties to complete initial due diligence was moved to March 29, 2019 (ii) the date for the parties to execute definitive agreements related to the transaction was moved to May 6, 2019, and (iii) the date to close the transaction was tentatively moved to August 31, 2019 (the “Amendment No.1”). On May 6, 2019, TransBiotec, Inc. (“The Company” or “TransBiotec” and “Buyer”) entered into an asset purchase agreement with IDTEC, LLC (“Seller”) in which TransBiotec agreed to acquire the Seller’s rights, title and interest to and in certain assets. The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets shall be 12 million (12,000,000) restricted shares of the $0.00001 par value common stock of the Buyer; provided that the total number of shares of TransBiotec’s $0.00001 par value common stock issued and outstanding following a tentative closing date of April 1, 2020 shall not exceed 20 million (20,000,000) shares (on a fully dilated basis).

 

Management believes actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, these plans are contingent upon actions to be performed by the Company and this performance has not occurred on or before September 30, 2019. As such, substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated as of September 30, 2019.

 

 

In May 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bennington which expired on December 31, 2017. The employment agreement provided that the Company would pay Mr. Bennington a salary of $120,000 during the first year of the agreement, $156,000 during the second year of the agreement, $172,000 during the third year of the agreement, $190,000 during the fourth year of the agreement and $208,000 during the fifth year of the agreement. Since the Company was unable to compensate him as stipulated per the agreement, Mr. Bennington agreed to drop his yearly compensation, and resulting yearly accrual, to $120,000 per year with no yearly increases as stipulated in years 2 through 5. In September 2016, before the expiration of Mr. Bennington’s contract, the Company appointed Ivan Braiker as its sole CEO, and Mr. Bennington subsequently took a role as a member of the Board of Directors at a monthly rate of $5,000. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Braiker entered into a letter agreement with the Company, under which he accrued a monthly retainer of $7,500, to be paid only if the Company successfully closed financing of at least $200,000. Mr. Braiker was also granted options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0045 per share at a fair value of $6,290. In an act of good faith by the Company, Mr. Braiker was paid $15,000 in 2017 in relation to his letter agreement. Effective with his resignation on December 31, 2017, the Company did not owe, accrue for or pay Mr. Braiker any further compensation as he was unable to secure financing of $200,000 for the Company as stipulated per the letter agreement. Mr. Braiker was not compensated for his services as a member of our Board of Directors and his stock option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was cancelled by the Company in 2019.

 

 

 

 

On December 3, 2014, Lanphere Law Group, a related party and the Company’s largest shareholder, entered into an agreement with the Company to convert 50% of its outstanding accounts payable of $428,668 to a note payable. This note payable represents one half of the balance in the amount of $214,334 of attorney fees and costs owed up until October 31, 2014. This agreement further provided that the remaining 50% of unpaid legal fees in accounts payable were to be paid and retained as a current payable. In addition, 50% of the attorney fees and costs incurred starting from November 1, 2014 are to be converted on a monthly basis to common stock at a price of $0.09 per share until the accounts payable balance for attorney fees is paid current. These payables are for legal expenses and are recorded to general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company has recorded to equity, a total related party gain connected to these conversions during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of $22,585 and $15,143, respectively. Per this agreement as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, on a cumulative basis, approximately $201,831 of related party payables was converted into 2,242,565 common shares and $201,831 was converted into 2,242,565 common shares, respectively. The Company has a stock subscription payable due to Lanphere Law Group as of September 30, 2019 of $2,574 convertible into 508,686 of its common shares, and $1,271 convertible into 243,273 of its common shares as of December 31, 2018.

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company amended the December 3, 2014 note payable agreement with Lanphere Law Group, a related party and the Company’s largest shareholder, which forgave $108,000 of the note payable’s principal balance. This debt forgiveness decreased the original principal balance on the note of $214,334 to a new principal balance of $106,335, and a related party gain of $108,000 was recorded to additional paid-in capital. This amendment also extended the note payable’s due date to December 2, 2015; however, this note is currently in default.

 

On March 8, 2017, Lanphere Law Group, a related party and the Company’s largest shareholder, irrevocably elected to exercise warrants in order to acquire 32,248,932 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate exercise price of $112,871, which was used for the deduction of $74,672 of principal and $38,199 of accrued interest related to the December 3, 2014 note payable agreement with Lanphere Law Group. The principal balance of the note after the debt deduction was $31,662. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the principal balance of this note is $31,662 and $31,662, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the accrued interest on this note is $8,709 and $5,539, respectively. The forgiveness of the note payable principal of $74,672 was recorded to equity and the $38,199 of related accrued interest was recorded to equity. After this exercise, Lanphere Law Group owned warrants to acquire an additional 27,400,745 shares of our common stock.

 

 

 

 

On April 30, 2018, Daljit Khangura, a related party, irrevocably elected to exercise options in order to acquire 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate exercise price of $4,500, which was used as stock compensation for consulting services provided as a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Khangura was issued an additional 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $500, which was also used as stock compensation for consulting services provided as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

On April 30, 2018, the Company converted $7,500 to Nick Noceti, a related party, for executive compensation into 750,000 issued shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion and Common Stock Purchase Plan (the “Lanphere SPA”) with Michael Lanphere, one of the Company’s officers, under which the Company agreed to issue 21,400,745 shares of its common stock in exchange for a reduction in the amounts owed to Mr. Lanphere under numerous promissory notes. Mr. Lanphere’s option to acquire the shares was under the terms of certain Loan Agreement with Promissory Note and Stock Fees agreements entered into with the Company and Mr. Lanphere. The amount of the debt reduction and, therefore the purchase price of the shares, was $96,303 which was used for the deduction of related party notes payable principal of $77,927 and accrued interest of $18,376. The Company recognized a related party gain of $5,350 and accounted for it as additional paid-in capital. The common shares were issued on or about August 28, 2019 at an effective conversion price of $0.0045 per share. After this exercise, Lanphere Law Group owns warrants to acquire an additional 15,103,261 shares of our common stock.

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion and Common Stock Purchase Plan (the “Mishal SPA”) with Devadatt Mishal, one of the Company’s directors, under which the Company agreed to issue 13,134,420 shares of its common stock in exchange for a reduction in the amounts owed to Mr. Mishal under numerous promissory notes. Mr. Mishal’s option to acquire the shares was under the terms of certain Loan Agreement with Promissory Note and Stock Fees agreements entered into with the Company and Mr. Mishal. The amount of the debt reduction and, therefore the purchase price of the shares, was $56,478 which was used for the deduction of related party notes payable principal of $45,000 and accrued interest of $11,478. The Company recognized a related party gain of $657 and accounted for it as additional paid-in capital. The common shares were issued on or about August 28, 2019 at an effective conversion price of $0.0043 per share. After this exercise, Devadatt Mishal owns no warrants to acquire additional shares of our common stock.

 

Due to cash flow constraints, the Company has experienced difficulty in compensating its directors for their service in their capacity as directors; therefore, such directors may receive stock options to purchase common shares as awarded by its Board of Directors or (as to future stock options) a compensation committee which may be established. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with business related travel and attendance at meetings of its Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Bennington SPA”) with Charles Bennington, one of the Company’s officers and directors, under which the Company agreed to issue 14,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for Mr. Bennington forgiving $595,000 in accrued compensation and services due. The Company also recorded a related party gain on the conversion of executive compensation to common shares of $535,500 that was accounted for as additional paid-in capital. The common shares were issued on or about August 28, 2019 at a per-share purchase price of $0.00425 per share. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had payables due to a related party for accrued executive compensation and services of none and $474,156, respectively.

 

 

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Lanphere SEA”) with Michael Lanphere, one of the Company’s officers, under which the Company agreed to issue 5,206,430 shares of its common stock in exchange for 520,643 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Lanphere. The Series A Convertible Preferred stock were exchanged for the Company’s common shares at a price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of the common shares was $22,127. Per ASC 470-50-40-2, debt modification and extinguishment transactions between related parties are in essence a capital contribution from a related party. As a result, rather than recording a gain on extinguishment of debt, the Company recorded $498,516 to additional paid-in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Justus SEA”) with Vernon Justus, a related party, under which the Company agreed to issue 8,679,320 shares of its common stock in exchange for 867,932 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Justus.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, stock warrants amortization expense recorded to interest expense was $36,103 and $33,138, respectively. The reason for the decrease in stock warrants expense was directly related to the timing of funds borrowed and the related amortization of its stock warrants. The relative fair market value of stock warrants granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $54,535 and $29,701, respectively. The fair market value of the outstanding stock warrants was calculated utilizing the Black-Sholes method using the following assumptions: risk free rates ranging between 1.83% - 2.53%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5 years, volatility between 134% - 138%.

On March 1, 2019, the Company borrowed $29,000 under a convertible promissory note agreement from an unrelated party that is due upon demand from the investor. On May 3, 2019, the Company borrowed $31,000 under a convertible promissory note agreement from an unrelated party that is due upon demand from the investor. Both notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a variable conversion price based on a 50% discount of the market price at an undetermined future date. The Company analyzed the conversion features of the note agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASU 2017-11 (ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging), and determined the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of the convertible note is subject to a variable conversion rate and should be therefore accounted for at fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative for the notes is carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. The derivative liability is marked to market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the statement of operations and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change. The Company fair values the embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility from 240% to 250%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.83% and (3) expected life of 1 year. On March 1, 2019, the date of the first note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $28,000. On May 3, 2019, the date of the second note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $28,100. The notes carried an embedded conversion feature of $56,100 and was accounted for as interest expense during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivative is $52,700 and is recorded on the balance sheet as a derivative liability at September 30, 2019. The notes were not converted during the nine month period September 30, 2019. Utilizing level 3 inputs, the Company recorded a fair market value gain of $3,400 and none during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

The Company accounts for employee stock options and non-employee stock warrants under ASC 718 and ASC 505, whereby option costs are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, utilizing the Black Sholes pricing model. Unless otherwise provided for, the Company covers option exercises by issuing new shares.

 

Beginning on December 12, 2012, Michael A. Lanphere, a related party and non-employee, loaned the Company money for a variety of purposes, some for working capital and some to allow the Company to pay outstanding obligations. Each of these loans was made pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement with Promissory Note and Stock Fee (the “Agreements”). Under the terms of the Agreements, Mr. Lanphere was not only entitled to repayment of the principal amount loaned to us, with interest, but also what was termed in the Agreements as a “Stock Fee” that the parties are interpreting as a stock warrant, which permits Mr. Lanphere to acquire shares of our common stock in exchange for an exercise price that was estimated based on the date of the loan agreement. The number of shares to be issued to Mr. Lanphere as a Stock Fee under each Agreement was an estimate and varied based on the loan amount and the price of our common stock on the day of the loan and was calculated by this formula: sixty percent (60%) or eighty percent (80%) of the loan amount divided by the Company’s stock price on the day of the loan, but at a price per share no higher than two and one-half cents ($0.025). Each Stock Fee is fully vested immediately and expires five (5) years from the date of the loan. Although the Stock Fee could be taken by Mr. Lanphere as a stock grant or a stock warrant, due to the fully vested nature of the Stock Fee, Mr. Lanphere is deemed to beneficially own those shares on the date of each Agreement. The number of warrants outstanding to Mr. Lanphere at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 15,103,261 and 10,818,583, respectively.

 

 

 

 

The total outstanding balance of all non-employee stock warrants in TransBiotec, Inc. is 15,103,261 and 24,003,003 at September 30, 2019 and December 31 2018, respectively. There were 25,685,423 non-employee detached free-standing stock warrants granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and 7,882,392 non-employee detached free-standing stock warrants granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. The relative fair value of these non-employee stock warrants granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $54,535 and $29,701, respectively, and were determined using the Black-Sholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:
