INDEX

Note Regarding Reliance on SEC Order

Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 after the May 15, 2020 deadline applicable to the Company for the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in reliance on the Securities and Exchange Commission Order issued March 25, 2020 (the “SEC Order”), pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder (Release No. 34-88465) which permit a delay in filing of up to forty-five days due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

On May 11 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) to indicate its intention to rely on the SEC Order to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 because the Company’s operations and business were experiencing disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and thus the Company would be unable to timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Consistent with the Company’s statements in the Form 8-K, the Company was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on or before May 15, 2020 because it was unable to timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of the disruptions of the Company’s business operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (“TLSS” or the “Company”), formerly PetroTerra Corp., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on July 25, 2008. The Company operates through its subsidiaries as a leading logistics and transportation company specializing in ecommerce fulfillment, last mile deliveries, two-person home delivery and line haul services for predominantly online retailers.

On March 30, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), TLSS and Save On Transport Inc. (“Save On”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of the same date (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, on the Closing Date, Save On became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLSS (the “Reverse Merger”). Save On was incorporated in the state of Florida and started business on July 12, 2016. This transaction was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Save On for financial reporting purposes because the Save On shareholders retained an approximate 80% controlling interest in the post-merger consolidated entity. Save On was considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Reverse Merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of Save On before the Reverse Merger. The balance sheets at their historical cost basis of both entities were combined at the Closing Date and the results of operations from the Closing Date forward include the historical results of Save On and results of TLSS from the Closing Date forward. On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Save On and Steven Yariv, whereby the Company returned all of the stock of Save On to Steven Yariv in exchange for Mr. Yariv conveying 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company back to the Company. In addition, the Company granted an aggregate of 80,000 options to certain employees of Save On April 16, 2019, Mr. Yariv ceased to be an officer or director of the Company.

On June 18, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Prime EFS, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Prime EFS”), from its members pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into among the Company and the Prime EFS members on the Acquisition Date (the “SPA”). Prime EFS is a New Jersey based transportation company with a focus on deliveries for on-line retailers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

On July 24, 2018, the Company formed Shypdirect LLC (“Shypdirect”), a company organized under the laws of New Jersey. Shypdirect is a transportation company with a focus on tractor trailer and box truck deliveries of product on the east coast of the United States from one distributor’s warehouse to another warehouse or from a distributor’s warehouse to the post office.

On June 19, 2020, Amazon Logistics, Inc. (“Amazon”) notified Prime EFS in writing that Amazon does not intend to renew its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Agreement with Prime EFS when that agreement expires (see Note 13 – Subsequent Events).

TLSS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prime EFS and Shypdirect are hereafter referred to as the “Company”.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures necessary for comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations or cash flow. However, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed on May 29, 2020.

The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of its annual and interim reports. The results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily an indication of operating results to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of TLSS and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Save On (through April 30, 2019), Prime EFS and Shypdirect. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020

On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Save On and Steven Yariv, whereby the Company returned all of the stock of Save On to Steven Yariv in exchange for Mr. Yariv conveying 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company back to the Company. Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45, the financial statement in which net income or loss of a business entity is reported shall report the results of operations of the discontinued operation in the period in which a discontinued operation either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Accordingly, beginning in the second quarter of 2019, the period that Save On was disposed of, the Company reflects Save On as a discontinued operation and such presentation is retroactively applied to all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $3,453,338 and net cash used in operations was $110,074. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit, shareholders’ deficit, and a working capital deficit of $82,765,210, $26,839,561 and $27,678,817, respectively, at March 31, 2020. Furthermore, the Company failed to make required payments of principal and interest on certain of its convertible debt instruments and notes payable (see Note 6). On June 19, 2020, Amazon Logistics, Inc. (“Amazon”) notified Prime EFS in writing that Amazon does not intend to renew its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Agreement with Prime EFS when that agreement expires (see Note 13 – Subsequent Events). It is management’s opinion that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. In April 2020, the Company’s subsidiaries, Prime EFS and Shypdirect, entered into Paycheck Protection Program promissory notes with M&T Bank in the aggregate amount of $3,446,152 (see Note 13). Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations, become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.

The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of common shares and from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and notes payable, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the valuation of accounts receivable, the useful life of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of right of use assets and related liabilities, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, the valuation of derivative liabilities, and the value of claims against the Company.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on March 31, 2020. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

A roll forward of the level 3 valuation financial instruments is as follows:

The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments, consisting of certain conversion options embedded in our convertible instruments and warrants, at fair value using level 3 inputs. The Company determined the fair value of these derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, binomial lattice models, or other accepted valuation practices. When determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using these methods, the Company is required to use various estimates and unobservable inputs, including, among other things, expected terms of the instruments, expected volatility of its stock price, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in any of the assumptions related to the unobservable inputs identified above may change the fair value of the instrument. Increases in expected term, anticipated volatility and expected dividends generally result in increases in fair value, while decreases in the unobservable inputs generally result in decreases in fair value.

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s convertible notes payable and promissory note obligations approximate fair value, as the terms of these instruments are consistent with terms available in the market for instruments with similar risk.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. There were no balances in excess of FDIC insured levels as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through March 31, 2020.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

Property and equipment

Property are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to six years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Intangible asset

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, less any impairment charges.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether it obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Segment reporting

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. On May 1, 2019, the Company disposed of its Save On business segment and the results of operations of Save On are included in discontinued operations. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company believes that it operates in one operating segment related to deliveries for on-line retailers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other areas, and tractor trailer and box truck deliveries of product on the east coast of the United States from one distributor’s warehouse to another warehouse or from a distributor’s warehouse to the post office.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives associated with capital raises. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10-05-4, Derivatives and Hedging and 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2019 and the Company elected to record the effect of this adoption retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective. In accordance with the guidance presented in the ASU 2017-11, the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with certain convertible notes as of December 31, 2018 of $838,471 and the offsetting effect of reclassifying such debt to stock-settled debt for which the Company recorded a put premium liability of $385,385 was reclassified by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019 in the amount of $453,086.

Revenue recognition and cost of revenue

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASC is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASC also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer service orders, including significant judgments.

For the Company’s Prime EFS and Shypdirect business activities, the Company recognizes revenues and the related direct costs of such revenue which generally include compensation and related benefits, gas costs, insurance, parking and tolls, truck rental fees, and maintenance fees as of the date the freight is delivered which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis. Our payment terms are net seven days from acceptance of delivery. The Company does not incur incremental costs obtaining service orders from its Prime EFS and Shypdirect customers, however, if the Company did, because all of Prime EFS and Shypdirect customer contracts are less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred would be expensed rather than capitalized. The revenue that the Company recognizes arises from deliveries of packages on behalf of the Company’s customers. Primarily, the Company’s performance obligations under these service orders correspond to each delivery of packages that the Company makes under the service agreements. Control of the package transfers to the recipient upon delivery. Once this occurs, the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue.

For the Company’s Save On business activities, through the date of disposition on May 1, 2019, the Company recognized revenues and the related direct costs of such revenue which included carrier fees and dispatch costs as of the date the freight was delivered by the carrier which was when the performance obligation is satisfied. Customer payments received prior to delivery were recorded as a deferred revenue liability and related carrier fees if paid prior to delivery were recorded as a deferred expense asset. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognized revenue on a gross basis. Our payment terms for corporate customers were net 30 days from acceptance of delivery and individual customers generally were required to pay in advance. The Company did not incur incremental costs obtaining service orders from its Save On customers, however, if the Company did, because all of the Save On customer’s contracts were less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred were expensed rather than capitalized. The revenue that the Company recognized arose from service orders it received from its Save On customers. The Company’s performance obligations under these service orders corresponded to each delivery of a vehicle that the Company made for its customer under the service orders; as a result, each service order generally contained only one performance obligation based on the delivery to be completed.

Management has reviewed the revenue disaggregation disclosure requirements pursuant to ASC 606 and determined that no further disaggregation disclosure is required to be presented.

Basic and diluted loss per share

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable for stock warrants (using the treasury stock method) and shares issuable for convertible debt (using the as-if converted method). These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

Potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses and consisted of the following:

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2019 and the Company elected to record the effect of this adoption retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective. In accordance with the guidance presented in the ASU 2017-11, the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with certain convertible notes as of December 31, 2018 of $838,471 and the offsetting effect of reclassifying such debt to stock-settled debt for which the Company recorded a put premium liability of $385,385 was reclassified by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019 in the amount of $453,086.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendments are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. Most amendments should be applied retrospectively, but certain amendments will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that we believe will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Save On and Steven Yariv, whereby the Company returned all of the stock of Save On to Steven Yariv in exchange for Mr. Yariv conveying 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company back to the Company. In addition, the Company granted an aggregate of 80,000 options to certain employees of Save On. Mr. Yariv ceased to be an officer or director of the Company effective with the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.

Pursuant to ASC 205-20-45, the financial statement in which net income or loss of a business entity is reported shall report the results of operations of the discontinued operation in the period in which a discontinued operation either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Accordingly, the Company reflects Save On as discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter of 2019, the period that Save On was disposed of and retroactively for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The business of Save On are considered discontinued operations because: (a) the operations and cash flows of Save On were eliminated from the Company’s operations; and (b) the Company has no interest in the divested operations. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any remaining assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The summarized operating result of discontinued operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations is as follows:

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE AND NOTES PAYABLE

Red Diamond Partners LLC and RDW Capital, LLC

On April 25, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with RedDiamond Partners LLC (“RedDiamond”) pursuant to which the Company would issue to RedDiamond convertible promissory notes (the “RedDiamond Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $355,000, which includes a purchase price of $350,000 and transaction costs of $5,000. Pursuant to this securities purchase agreement, during 2017, the Company entered into three RedDiamond Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $270,000 and the Company received $265,000 after giving effect to the original issue discount of $5,000. The RedDiamond Notes matured during 2018. RedDiamond is not required to fund any additional tranches under the securities purchase agreement. Through date of default, the RedDiamond Notes bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at RedDiamond’s option at 65% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the RedDiamond Notes) for the previous ten trading days preceding the conversion. During 2018, the Company failed to make its required maturity date payments of principal and interest on the RedDiamond Notes of $270,000. In accordance with these notes, the Company entered into default in 2018, which increased the interest rate to 18.0% per annum. The RedDiamond Notes contain cross default provisions whereby a default in any one note greater than $25,000 will cause a default in all the notes, however, this provision is only effective if there is a formal notice of default by the lender.

On June 30, 2017, the Company issued RDW Capital, LLC a senior convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $240,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000. Through date of default, the principal due under the note accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum. All principal and accrued interest under the note was due six months following the issue date of the note, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price equal to fifty (50%) of the lowest volume-weighted average price for the previous ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion. The note includes anti-dilution protection, including a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company, as well as customary events of default, including non-payment of the principal or accrued interest due on the note. Upon an event of default, all obligations under the note will become immediately due and payable and the Company is required to make certain payments to the lender. On December 31, 2017 the Company failed to make its required maturity date payment of principal and interest. In accordance with the note, the Company entered into default on January 3, 2018, which increased the interest rate to 24% per annum.

In connection with the issuance of these convertible promissory notes to RedDiamond and RDW Capital, LLC, the Company determined that the terms of these convertible promissory notes included a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company.

The Company evaluated these convertible promissory note transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Through December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to their respective variable conversion rate and price protection provisions. Accordingly, through December 31, 2018, under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, the embedded conversion option contained in the convertible instruments were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, and the Company elected to record the effect of this adoption retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective (See Note 2 - Derivative liabilities and summary of derivative liabilities below).

On April 9, 2019, the Company entered into agreements (the “RedDiamond Amendments”) with RedDiamond and RDW Capital, LLC, the holders of these convertible notes representing an aggregate principal amount of $510,000, and agreed with such holders to:

In connection with this debt modification, on April 9, 2019, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $432,589, which consists of the removal of debt put premium of $385,385 since the debt is no longer convertible, and $47,204 related to the reversal of default interest payable.

Pursuant to the RedDiamond Amendments, the conversion provisions contained in the convertible promissory notes held by RedDiamond and RDW Capital, LLC were suspended and ceased to be exercisable beginning as of April 9, 2019. However, under the RedDiamond Amendments, the conversion provisions contained in the convertible promissory notes held by Red Diamond and RDW Capital, LLC were subject to reinstatement upon the occurrence of an event of default. The parties agreed that it would be considered an event of default under the convertible promissory notes if the Company consummated any new offering of equity or equity linked securities containing a conversion or exercise price which is variable based upon the market trading price of the Company’s securities. On August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a new offering of equity or equity linked securities containing a conversion or exercise price which is variable based upon the market trading price of the Company’s securities. Accordingly, since the Company entered into a new offering of equity or equity linked securities containing a conversion or exercise price which is variable based upon the market trading price of the Company’s securities, in 2019, the conversion terms were reinstated and the Company recorded a put premium of $385,385 and recorded interest expense of $385,385.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,703,717 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of debt of $73,725. Upon conversion, the Company reclassified put premium of $73,725 to paid-in capital.

The aggregate principal amounts due as of March 31. 2020 and December 31, 2019 amounted to $747,935 and $895,385, which included a put premium of $311,660 and $385,385, and principal balance of $436,275 and $510,000, and was included in convertible notes payable, a current liability, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

Bellridge Capital, LLC

On June 18, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Bellridge Purchase Agreement”), whereby it issued to Bellridge Capital, LLC (“Bellridge”) a senior secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,497,503 (the “Bellridge Note”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,665,000, net of an original issue discount of $832,503. In addition, the Company paid issue costs of $177,212. The original issue discount and issue costs were recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the Bellridge Note. The principal due under the Bellridge Note initially accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Principal and interest payments of $232,940 were payable monthly beginning on December 18, 2018 and were due monthly over the term of the Bellridge Note in cash or common stock of the Company, at Bellridge’s discretion.

In connection with the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, Bellridge was issued a warrant, with a term of two years, to purchase up to 4.75% of the fully-diluted outstanding common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $100 (the “First Bellridge Warrant”). Additionally, the placement agent for the Bellridge Note was issued a warrant, with a term of two years, to purchase up to 4.75% of the fully-diluted outstanding common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $100 (the “Bellridge Note PA Warrant”).

In August 2018, the Company defaulted on the Bellridge Note due to (i) default on the payment of monthly interest payments due, (ii) default caused by the late filing of the Company’s reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and (iii) default of filing of a registration statement. Upon an event of default, all principal, accrued interest, and liquating damages and penalties were due upon request of Bellridge at 125% of such amounts.

On December 27, 2018, Bellridge waived any and all defaults in existence on the Bellridge Note and the Company agreed to issue a warrant that is convertible into 2% of the issued and outstanding shares existing as the time the Company files a registration statement or makes an application to up list to a national stock exchange (the “Second Bellridge Warrant” and together with the First Bellridge Warrant and the Bellridge Note PA Warrant, the “Bellridge Warrants”). Pursuant to the Second Bellridge Warrant, at any time on or before the date that the Company files a registration statement on form S-l or applies for up-listing to a National Exchange (as defined in the Second Bellridge Warrant), and on or prior to the close of business on the early of the first year anniversary of the issuance of December 27, 2018, Bellridge could have chosen to subscribe for and purchase from the Company up to 2% in shares of common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $100. Additionally, the principal interest amount due under the Bellridge Note was modified with a monthly payment of principal and interests due beginning on January 18, 2019 of $156,219 with all remaining principal and interest amounts on the Bellridge Note due on December 18, 2019. This modification was not considered a debt extinguishment.

On April 9, 2019, the Company entered into a new agreement with this lender that modified the Bellridge Note and cancelled these warrants (see below).

Through April 9, 2019, all principal and accrued interest under the Bellridge Note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price equal to the lower of $1.50 and 65% of the lowest traded price during the fifteen trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. The Bellridge Note included anti-dilution protection, as well as customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment of the principal or accrued interest due on the Bellridge Note and cross default provisions on other Company obligations or contracts. Upon an event of default, all obligations under the Bellridge Note become immediately due and payable and the Company is required to make certain payments to Bellridge.

Bellridge was granted a right of first refusal on future financing transactions of the Company while the Bellridge Note remains outstanding, plus an additional three months thereafter. In connection with the issuance of the Bellridge Note, the Company entered into a security agreement with Bellridge pursuant to which the Company agreed that obligations under the Bellridge Note and related documents will be secured by all of the assets of the Company. In addition, all of the Company’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the Company’s obligations to Bellridge pursuant to the Bellridge Note and have granted a similar security interest over substantially all of their assets. A portion of the proceeds of the Bellridge Note were used to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Prime EFS.

During the term of the Bellridge Note, in the event that the Company consummates any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction of any kind (each a “Bellridge Note Subsequent Offering”), in which the Company receives, in one or more contemporaneous transactions, gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000, at any time upon ten (10) days written notice to the holder of the Bellridge Note, but subject to the Bellridge Note holder’s conversion rights set forth in the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, then the Company must use 20% of the gross proceeds of the Bellridge Note Subsequent Offering and must make payment to the Bellridge Note holder of an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the sum of (x) the then outstanding principal amount of the Bellridge Note and (y) all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by (ii) (x) 110%, if the Prepayment Date (as defined in the Bellridge Note) is within 90 days of the date hereof the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or (y) 125%, if the Prepayment Date is after the 90th day following the Closing Date, to which calculated amount the Company must add all other amounts owed pursuant to the Bellridge Note, including, but not limited to, all late fees and liquidated damages.

In connection with the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement which, among other things, required the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 120 days after June 18, 2018. The Company failed to file such registration statement. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights the holders may have under the Bellridge Purchase Agreement or under applicable law, on the default date and on each monthly anniversary of each such default date (if the applicable event is not cured by such date) until the ninetieth day from such default date, the Company will pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of one percent (1%) multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by the holder pursuant to the Bellridge Purchase Agreement. Subsequent to the ninetieth day from such default date, the one percent (1%) penalty will increase to two percent (2%), with an aggregate cap of twenty percent (20%) per annum. If the Company fails to pay any of these partial liquidated damages in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum to the holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. On December 27, 2018, Bellridge waived any and all defaults.

In connection with the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, the Company paid a placement agent $120,000 in cash which is included in issue costs previously discussed above and this placement agent was issued the Bellridge Note PA Warrant, with a term of two years, to purchase up to 4.75% of the fully-diluted outstanding common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $100. On April 9, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with this placement agent that cancelled the Bellridge Note PA Warrant.

In connection with the issuance of the Bellridge Note and the Bellridge Warrants, the Company determined that the Bellridge Note and the Bellridge Warrants contains terms that are not fixed monetary amounts at inception. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, the embedded conversion option contained in the Bellridge Note and the Bellridge Warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of this embedded conversion option derivative and the Bellridge Warrants were determined using the Binomial valuation model and Monte-Carlo simulation model, respectively.

Convertible debt modifications and warrant cancellations

On April 9, 2019 (the “Bellridge Modification Date”), the Company entered into an agreement with Bellridge (the “Bellridge Modification Agreement”) that modified its existing obligations to Bellridge as follows:

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, convertible notes payable related to this convertible debt amounted to $1,813,402, which consists of $1,813,402 of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $0.

August 30, 2019 convertible debt and related warrants

On August 30, 2019, the Company closed Securities Purchase Agreements (the “August 2019 Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors. Pursuant to the terms of the August 2019 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to investors convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,469,840 (the “August 2019 Notes”), and warrants to purchase up to 987,940 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “August 2019 Warrants”). The Company received net proceeds of $295,534, which is net of a 10% original issue discount of $246,984 and origination fees of $61,101, and is net of $1,643,367 for the repayment of notes payable, and net of $222,854 related to the conversion of existing notes payable already outstanding to these lenders into the August 2019 Notes.

The August 2019 Notes bear interest at 10% per annum and become due and payable on November 30, 2020. During the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the August 2019 Notes), interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Commencing on the four month anniversary of the August 2019 Notes, monthly payments of interest and monthly principal payments, based on a 12 month amortization schedule (each, an “August 2019 Notes Amortization Payment”), are due and payable, until November 30, 2020 at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due and payable under the August 2019 Notes will be immediately due and payable. The Company’s August 2019 Note Amortization Payments due on December 30, 2019 were paid on January 6, 2020 and the Company did not receive any default notice for this late payment. The August 2019 Note Amortization Payments are made in cash unless the investor requests it to be issued in the Company’s common stock in lieu of a cash payment (an “August 2019 Note Stock Payment”). If the investor requests an August 2019 Note Stock Payment, the number of shares of common stock issued is based on the amount of the applicable August 2019 Amortization Payment divided by 80% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) during the five Trading Day (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) period prior to the due date of the August 2019 Amortization Payment.

The August 2019 Notes may be prepaid, provided that Equity Conditions, as defined in the August 2019 Notes, have been met (or any such failure to meet the Equity Conditions has been waived): (i) from August 30, 2019 until and through November 30, 2019 at an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the August 2019 Notes and accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) after August 30, 2019 at an amount equal to 115% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the August 2019 Notes and accrued and unpaid interest. In the event that the Company closes a registered public offering of securities for its own account (a “Public Offering”), the holders may elect to: (x) have their principal and accrued interest prepaid directly from the proceeds of the Public Offering at the prices set forth above, or (y) exchange their August 2019 Notes at the closing of the Public Offering for the securities being issued in the Public Offering at the Public Offering prices based upon the outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges, or (z) continue to hold their August 2019 Notes. Except for a Public Offering and August 2019 Amortization Payments, in order to prepay the August 2019 Notes, the Company must provide at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the holders, during which time the holders may convert their August 2019 Notes in whole or in part at the then-applicable conversion price. For avoidance of doubt, the August 2019 Amortization Payments are prepayments and are subject to prepayment penalties equal to 115% of the August 2019 Amortization Payment. In the event the Company consummates a Public Offering while the August 2019 Notes are outstanding, then 25% of the net proceeds of such offering will, within two business days of the closing of such Public Offering, be applied to reduce the outstanding obligations pursuant to the August 2019 Notes.

In connection with the August 2019 Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of the shares issuable to the investors pursuant to the August 2019 Purchase Agreement.

From the original issue date until the August 2019 Notes are no longer outstanding, the August 2019 Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares of common stock at the option of the investor. The initial conversion price of the August 2019 Notes was the lower of: (i) $3.50 per share and (ii) the price per share paid by investors in the contemplated equity offering of up to $1,000,000. If an Event of Default (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) has occurred, regardless of whether it has been cured or remains ongoing, the August 2019 Notes were initially convertible at the lower of: (i) $3.50 and (ii) 70% of the second lowest closing price of the common stock as reported on the Trading Market (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) during the 20 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) period ending and including the Trading Day (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable notice of conversion. All such Conversion Price determinations are to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the common stock.

The August 2019 Notes and related August 2019 Warrants include down-round provisions under which the August 2019 Note conversion price and August 2019 Warrant exercise price could be affected, on a full-ratchet basis, by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company. On September 6, 2019, the Company sold shares of its common stock at $2.50 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of the August 2019 Notes was reduced to $2.50 per share and the number of warrants was increased to 1,383,116 warrants and the exercise price was lowered to $2.50. On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of August 2019 Notes was reduced to $0.40 per share, and the number of warrants was increased to 8,644,474 warrants and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $17,836,244 which represents the fair value transferred to the warrant holders from the down round feature being triggered. The Company calculated the difference between the warrants fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down- round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise price and the new number of warrants. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount.

In connection with the issuance of the August 2019 Notes, the Company determined that various terms of the August 2019 Notes, including the August 2019 Note Stock Payment terms discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options. On August 30, 2019, the initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivative of $1,953,968 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the August 2019 Notes of $936,645, with the remainder of $1,017,323 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.

On January 30, 2020, due to the default of the January 2020 August 2019 Notes Amortization Payment, the August 2019 Notes were deemed in default. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to $723,985, default interest accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repaid principal of $159,988, and the Company issued 3,586,689 shares its common stock upon the conversion of principal and default interest of $237,169 and accrued interest of $30,625. Additionally, accrued interest payable of $75,309 was reclassified to principal balance.

At March 31, 2020, convertible notes payable related to August 30, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $1,554,729, which consists of $2,871,977 of principal balance and default interest due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $1,317,248. At December 31, 2019, convertible notes payable related to August 30, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $658,623, which consists of $2,469,840 of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $1,811,217.

October 3, 2019 convertible debt and related warrants

On October 3, 2019, the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement (the “October 3 Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor. Pursuant to the terms of the October 3, 2019 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to an investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $166,667 (the “October 3 Note”), and warrants to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “October 3 Warrant”). The Company received net proceeds of $150,000, which is net of a 10% original issue discount of $16,667. The October 3 Note initially bore interest at 10% per annum and becomes due and payable on January 3, 2021. During the existence of an Event of Default, interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Commencing on the four month anniversary of the October 3 Note, monthly payments of interest and monthly principal payments, based on a 12 month amortization schedule (each, an “October 3 Note Amortization Payment”), are due and payable, until the Maturity Date, at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due and payable under the October 3 Notes will be immediately due and payable. The October 3 Note Amortization Payments are made in cash unless the investor requests it to be issued in the Company’s common stock in lieu of a cash payment (each, an “October 3 Note Stock Payment”). If the investor requests a October 3 Note Stock Payment, the number of shares of common stock issued is based on the amount of the applicable October 3 Note Amortization Payment divided by 80% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the October 3 Note) during the five Trading Day (as defined in the October 3 Note) period prior to the due date of the October 3 Note Amortization Payment.

The October 3 Note may be prepaid, provided that certain Equity Conditions, as defined in the October 3 Note, have been met (or any such failure to meet the Equity Conditions has been waived): (i) from October 3, 2019 until and through January 3, 2020, at an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the October 3 Note and accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) after January 3, 2020, at an amount equal to 115% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the October 3 Note and accrued and unpaid interest. In the event that the Company closes a Public Offering, the holder may elect to: (x) have its principal and accrued interest prepaid directly from the proceeds of the Public Offering at the prices set forth above, or (y) exchange its October 3 Note at the closing of the Public Offering for the securities being issued in the Public Offering at the Public Offering prices based upon the outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges, or (z) continue to hold the October 3 Note. Except for a Public Offering and October 3 Note Amortization Payments, in order to prepay the October 3 Note, the Company must provide at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the holder, during which time the holder may convert the October 3 Note in whole or in part at the conversion price. For avoidance of doubt, the October 3 Note Amortization Payments are prepayments and are subject to prepayment penalties equal to 115% of the October 3 Note Amortization Payment. In the event the Company consummates a Public Offering while the October 3 Note is outstanding, then 25% of the net proceeds of such offering will, within two business days of the closing of such Public Offering, be applied to reduce the outstanding obligations pursuant to the October 3 Note.

On the original issue date until the October 3 Note is no longer outstanding, the October 3 Note is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares of common stock at the option of the investor. The “Conversion Price” in effect on any Conversion Date means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined in the October 3 Note) or other date of determination, the lower of: (i) $2.51 per share and (ii) the price per share paid by investors in the contemplated equity offering of up to $1,000,000. If an Event of Default (as defined in the October 3 Note) has occurred, regardless of whether such Event of Default (as defined in the October 3 Note) has been cured or remains ongoing, the October 3 Note are convertible at the lower of: (i) $2.51 and (ii) 70% of the second lowest closing price of the common stock as reported on the Trading Market (as defined in the October 3 Note) during the 20 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the October 3 Note) period ending and including the Trading Day (as defined in the October 3 Note) immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Notice of Conversion. All such Conversion Price determinations are to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the common stock.

The October 3 Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitles the investor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the October 3 Warrant became exercisable. Under the terms of the October 3 Warrant, the investor is entitled to exercise the October 3 Warrant to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.51, subject to adjustment as detailed in the October 3 Warrant. In October 2019 the Company calculated the relative fair value of the October 3 Warrant in the amount of $82,771 which was added to debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the notes.

The October 3 Note and related October 3 Warrant include a down-round provision under which the October 3 Note conversion price and warrant exercise price could be affected, on a full-ratchet basis, by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company. Subsequent to October 3, 2019, the Company issued convertible debt with a conversion price of $2.50 per share and accordingly, the convertible debt and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price and the exercise price were lowered to $2.50 and the number of warrants was increased to 66,667 warrants. On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of the October 3 Note was reduced to $0.40 per share, and the number of warrants was increased to 416,669 warrants and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $859,768 which represents the fair value transferred to the October 3 Warrant holder from the down-round feature being triggered. The Company calculated the difference between the October 3 Warrant’s fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down-round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise price and the new number of warrants. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount.

In connection with the issuance of the October 3 Note, the Company determined that various terms of the October 3 Note, including the October 3 Note Stock Payment terms discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options. On October 3, 2019, the initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivative of $123,795 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the October 3 Note of $67,229, with the remainder of $56,566 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.

In February 2020, due to the default of the February 2020 October 3 Note Amortization Payment, the October 3 Note was deemed in default. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to $50,000, default interest accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.

At March 31, 2020, convertible notes payable related to the October 3, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $116,667, which consists of $216,667 of principal balance and default interest due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $100,000. At December 31, 2019, convertible notes payable related to the October 3, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $33,334, which consists of $166,667 of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $133,333.

Other convertible debt

On October 14, 2019 and November 7, 2019, we entered into convertible note agreements with an accredited investor. Pursuant to the terms of these convertible note agreements, we issued and sold to an investor convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Fall 2019 Notes”) and we received cash proceeds of $500,000. The Fall 2019 Notes bear interest at 10% per annum. The October 14, 2019 convertible promissory note of $300,000 becomes due and payable on October 14, 2020 and the November 7, 2019 convertible promissory note of $200,000 becomes due and payable on November 7, 2020. Commencing on the respective seven-month anniversaries of issuance, and continuing each month thereafter through the respective maturity date, payments of principal and interest will be made in accordance with the respective amortization schedule. During the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Fall 2019 Notes), interest will accrue at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Commencing on the seventh month anniversary of each respective note, monthly payments of interest and monthly principal payments are due and payable, until the respective maturity dates, at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due and payable under such Fall 2019 Note will be immediately due and payable.

The Company has the right to prepay in cash all or a portion of the outstanding principal due under the Fall 2019 Notes. The Company must provide the holders with written notice at least twenty business days prior to the date on which the Company will deliver payment of accrued interest and all or a portion, in $100,000 increments, of the principal.

Each Fall 2019 Note is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares of common stock at the option of the investor. The “Conversion Price” in effect on any Conversion Date means, as of any date of determination, the lower of: (i) $2.50 per share and (ii) the twenty day per share closing trading price of the Company’s common stock during the twenty trading days that close with the last previous trading day ended three days prior to the date of exercise. The Fall 2019 Notes do not contain anti-dilutive provisions. In May 2020 and June 2020, due to the default of a May 2020 and June 2020 Fall 2019 Note Amortization Payments, the Fall 2019 Notes were deemed in default. Accordingly, default interest accrues at 18% and the Fall 2019 Notes became due on the respective dates of default.

From the original issue date of a Q1 2020 Note until such Q1 2020 Note is no longer outstanding, such Q1 2020 Note is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares of common stock at the option of the holder. The “Conversion Price” in effect on any Conversion Date (as defined in the applicable Q1 2020 Note) means, as of any date of determination, $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. If an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Q1 2020 Note) has occurred, regardless of whether it has been cured or remains ongoing, the Q1 2020 Notes are convertible at the lower of: (i) $0.40 and (ii) 70% of the second lowest closing price of the common stock as reported on the Trading Market (as defined in the applicable Q1 2020 Note) during the 20 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the applicable Q1 2020 Note) period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable notice of conversion. All such Conversion Price determinations are to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately.

The Q1 2020 Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitles the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the Q1 2020 Warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of the Q1 2020 Warrants, the investors are entitled to exercise the Q1 2020 Warrants to purchase up to 838,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.40, subject to adjustment as detailed in the respective Q1 2020 Warrants.

In connection with the issuance of the January 2020 warrants, the Company calculated the relative fair value of these warrants in the amount of $262,872 which was added to debt discount and paid-in capital, and shall be amortized over the term of the Q1 2020 Notes. In connection with the issuance of the January, February and March 2020 Notes and February and March 2020 Warrants, the Company determined that various terms of these Q1 2020 Notes and Q1 2020 Warrants, including the default provisions in the Q1 2020 Notes discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options and warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, on the initial measurement dates, the fair values of the embedded conversion option and warrant derivatives of $8,722,831 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the Q1 2020 Notes of $1,267,473, with the remainder of $7,455,358 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.

The Q1 2020 Notes include a down-round provision under which the Q1 2020 Note conversion price could be affected, by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company.

Due to the default of amortization payments due on our August 2019 Notes and other notes as discussed above, the Q1 2020 Notes were deemed in default. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to approximately $613,800, default interest accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.

At March 31, 2020, convertible notes payable related to the Q1 2020 Notes amounted to $1,115,369, which consists of $2,659,800 of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $1,544,431.

Summary of derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to the non-payment of amortization payments due, substantially all convertible notes were deemed in default. Accordingly, for substantially all of the loans in default, the aggregate outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to an aggregate amount of $1,387,785. This default amount due of $1,387,785 was recorded as interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Since the default principal due is convertible at the same default terms contained in the related convertible notes, the Company determined that various terms of the convertible notes discussed above caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options related to the default principal due. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, the embedded conversion option related to the default principal due were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion option derivatives related to the default principal due was determined using the Binomial valuation model. At the end of each period and on the date that debt is converted into common shares, the Company revalues the embedded conversion option derivative liabilities. In connection with the default principal due, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, on the initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivatives related to default principal due of $5,880,876 was recorded as derivative liabilities and charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.

As discussed above, the Company issued debt that consists of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock, default provisions and payment of amortization payments in stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable may exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, effective January 30, 2020, the equity environment is tainted and all convertible debentures and warrants shall be included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date. On January 30, 2020, the Company evaluated all outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments are tainted and, due to reasons discussed above, all warrants outstanding were considered tainted. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reclassification from paid-in capital to derivative liabilities of $11,381,885 for warrants becoming tainted. On January 30, 2020, the fair value of the warrants to be reclassified to derivative liabilities was determined using the Binomial valuation model.

In connection with the issuance of the Q1 2020 Notes and February and March 2020 Warrants, the Company determined that various terms of the Q1 2020 Notes and Q1 2020 Warrants, including the default provisions in the Q1 2020 Notes discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options and warrants. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, the embedded conversion option contained in the Q1 2020 Notes and certain warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion option derivatives and warrants was determined using the Binomial valuation model. At the end of each period and on the date that the Q1 2020 Notes are converted into common shares, the Company revalues the embedded conversion option derivative liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, on the initial measurement dates, the fair values of the embedded conversion option and warrant derivatives of $8,722,831 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the Q1 2020 Notes of $1,267,473, with the remainder of $7,455,358 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.

In connection with the period end revaluations and the initial derivative expense recorded, the Company recorded aggregate derivative income (expense) of $144,839 and $(13,384,260) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of the derivative liabilities, warrants and conversion option was estimated using the Binomial valuation model and the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, convertible promissory notes are as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, amortization of debt discounts related to convertible notes amounted to $764,943 and $545,443, respectively, which has been included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

On April 9, 2019, the Company entered into agreements with all holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to exchange all 4,000,000 outstanding shares of preferred stock for an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of restricted common stock. Upon conversion, pursuant to Section 9(i) of the Certificate of Designation, the Series A preferred stock became undesignated upon their return to the Company.

Series B preferred shares

In August 2019, the Company designated Series B Preferred Shares consisting of 1,700,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $0.001. The Series B preferred shares have no voting rights and are not redeemable. Each share of Series B Preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder subject to beneficial ownership limitation.

On August 16, 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 Series B preferred shares for services rendered to the former member of Prime EFS who is considered a related party. The shares were valued at $2.50 per shares on an as if converted basis to common shares based on recent sales of the Company’s common stock of $2.50 per share. In connection with the issuance of these Series B Preferred shares, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $2,500,000.

On August 16, 2019, the Company issued 700,000 shares of Series B Preferred shares upon settlement of 700,000 shares of issuable common shares (see Note 6).

Series C preferred shares

Pursuant to the August 2019 Purchase Agreement (see Note 6), by and among the Company and the investors named therein (the “August 2019 Investors”), the Company is required to keep reserved for issuance to the August 2019 Investors three times the number of shares of common stock issuable to the August 2019 Investors upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of convertible notes and warrants held by the August 2019 Investors (the “August 2019 Reserve Requirement”). If the Company fails to meet the August 2019 Reserve Requirement within 45 days after written notice from an August 2019 Investor, the Company must, inter alia, sell to the Lead Investor (as defined in the August 2019 Purchase Agreement) for $100 a series of preferred stock which holds voting power equal to 51% of the number of votes eligible to vote at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (with the power to take action by written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting) for the sole purpose of amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue, which such preferred stock will be automatically cancelled upon the effectiveness of the resulting increase in the Company’s authorized stock. By letter agreement dated, June 4, 2020, the Lead Investor assigned this contract right to John Mercadante, the chief executive officer of the Company.

On June 5, 2020, the Company sold to John Mercadante, for $100.00, one share of Series C Preferred Stock which has voting power equal to 51% of the number of votes eligible to vote at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (with the power to take action by written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting) for the sole purpose of amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment, the Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically cancelled. The Series C Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote on any other matter, is not entitled to dividends, is not convertible into any other security of the Company and is not entitled to any distributions upon liquidation of the Company (See Note 13 – Subsequent Events).

Common stock issued for services

On February 25, 2019, the Company granted an aggregate of 2,670,688 shares of its common stock to an executive officer, employees and consultants of the Company for services rendered. The shares were valued at $2,750,808, or $1.03 per share, based on the quoted trading price on the date of grant. In connection with these shares, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $2,750,808.

Shares issued in connection with conversion of debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 5,290,406 shares of its common stock upon the partial conversion of a convertible note principal and default interest balances due of $310,894, and accrued interest payable of due of $30,625 at the contractual conversion price. The Company accounted for the partial conversion of these convertible notes pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Under ASC 470-20, the Company recognized an aggregate loss on debt extinguishment upon conversion in the amount of $172,720 which is associated with the difference between the fair market value of the shares issued upon conversion and the conversion price and is equal to the fair value of the shares of common stock transferred upon conversion.

Stock option activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:

Warrants

Warrants issued in connection with convertible debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company closed the Q1 2020 Purchase Agreements with accredited investors. Pursuant to the terms of the Q1 2020 Purchase Agreements, the Company issued Q1 2020 Warrants to purchase up to 818,400 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 6). The Q1 2020 Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitle the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the Q1 2020 Warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of the Q1 2020 Warrants, the investors are entitled to exercise the Q1 2020 Warrants to purchase up to 818,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.40, subject to adjustment as detailed in the respective Q1 2020 Warrant. In connection with the 374,000 warrants issued in January 2020, the Company calculated the relative fair value of these warrants in the amount of $262,872 which was added to debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the notes (see Note 6). In connection with the 444,400 warrants issued in February and March 2020, the Company determined that various terms of these Q1 2020 Notes and Q1 2020 Warrants, including the default provisions in the Q1 2020 Notes discussed in Note 6, caused derivative treatment of the warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, on the initial measurement dates, the fair value of the warrant derivatives of $456,631 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the Q1 2020 Notes of $456,631. The fair value of these warrants was estimated using the Binomial valuation model with the assumptions as outlined in Note 6.

Warrant price protection

On August 30, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the August 2019 Purchase Agreements with accredited investors, the Company issued August 2019 Warrants to purchase up to 987,940 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 6). The August 2019 Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitles the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the August 2019 Warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of the August 2019 Warrants, the investors were entitled to exercise the August 2019 Warrants to purchase up to 987,940 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.50, subject to adjustment as detailed in the respective August 2019 Warrants. On September 6, 2019, the Company sold its common shares at $2.50 per share and accordingly, the August 2019 Warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the number of warrants was increased by 395,176 to 1,383,116 warrants and the exercise price was lowered to $2.50. On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of this debt was reduced to $0.40 per share, and the number of warrants was increased to 8,644,474 warrants and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $17,836,244 which represents the fair value transferred to the warrant holders from the down-round feature being triggered. The Company calculated the difference between the August 2019 Warrants’ fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down-round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise price and the new number of warrants. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount.

March 31, 2020

In October 2019, pursuant to the terms of the October 3 Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, the Company issued the October 3 Warrant to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 6). The October 3 Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitles the investor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the October 3 Warrant becomes exercisable. Under the terms of the October 3 Warrant, the investor is entitled to exercise the October 3 Warrant to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.51, subject to adjustment as detailed in the October 3 Warrant. The October 3 Warrant includes a down-round provision under which the October 3 Warrant exercise price could be affected, on a full-ratchet basis, by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company. Subsequent to October 3, 2019, the Company issued convertible debt with a conversion price of $2.50 per share and accordingly, the October 3 Warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the October 3 Warrant exercise price was lowered to $2.50 and the number of warrants was increased to 66,667 warrants. On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of this debt was reduced to $0.40 per share, and the number of warrants was increased to 416,669 warrants and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $859,768 which represents the fair value transferred to the warrant holders from the down-round feature being triggered. The Company calculated the difference between October 3 Warrant’s fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down-round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise price and the new number of warrants. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount.

Other

As discussed in Note 6 above, the Company issued debt that consists of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock, default provisions and payment of amortization Payments in stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, effective January 30, 2020, the equity environment is tainted and all convertible debentures and warrants shall be included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date. On January 30, 2020, the Company evaluated all outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments are tainted and, due to reasons discussed above, all warrants outstanding were considered tainted. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reclassification from paid-in capital to derivative liabilities of $11,381,885 for warrants becoming tainted. On January 30, 2020, the fair value of the warrants to be reclassified to derivative liabilities was determined using the Binomial valuation model.

Subsequent to January 30, 2020, the Company issued shares of its common upon conversion of debt at price lower than $0.40. Accordingly, the exercise price of the August 2019 Warrants and October 3 Warrant discussed above was lowered to $0.0203 and the aggregate number of warrants was increased from 9,061,143 warrants to 178,607,053 warrants. Since these warrants were treated as derivative liabilities, no additional deemed dividend was recorded.

Warrant activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Employment agreement

Simultaneously with the acquisition of Prime EFS, Prime EFS agreed to certain terms and conditions by which Prime EFS would continue to employ Frank Mazzola as its chief operating officer. Mr. Mazzola is related to the majority selling member of Prime EFS in the June 18, 2018 transaction.

Although Mr. Mazzola proposed a form of written agreement intended to memorialize all material terms of the employment relationship, Prime EFS did not sign the draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola in June 2018 or approve of all terms he was asking for because Prime EFS found some of those terms unfair and unreasonable.

Among other things, the draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola called for Prime EFS to make a 5-year commitment and to pay Mr. Mazzola a base salary of $520,000 per year, payable in accordance with Prime EFS’s usual pay practices. The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also called for his base salary to increase by $260,000 per year upon (i) Prime EFS achieving revenue of $20 million on an annualized basis (the “Initial Target Goal”) for four consecutive weeks; and (ii) each time Prime EFS achieves revenue of an additional $10 million increment above the Initial Target Goal (i.e., $30 million, $40 million, $50 million, etc.) on an annualized basis for four consecutive weeks. Prime EFS never agreed to any of these terms, orally or in writing.

The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also called for his base salary to be subject to review annually by the Manager of Prime EFS and that his salary could be increased (but not decreased). Prime EFS agreed to this term.

The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also provided that he would be entitled to participate in any bonus plan that the Manager of Prime EFS or its designee may approve for the senior executives of Prime EFS and shall be entitled to participate in benefits under the Prime EFS’s benefit plans, profit sharing and arrangements, including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan or arrangement made available in the future by Prime EFS to its employees or senior executives, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements. Prime EFS agreed to these terms.

The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of his employment, Prime EFS would provide, at Prime EFS’s expense, health and major medical insurance benefits to Mr. Mazzola and his family members which were at least equal to the benefits provided to Mr. Mazzola and his family members by Prime EFS immediately prior to the June 18, 2018 acquisition. Prime EFS agreed to these terms.

The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also provided that the contract would begin on June 18, 2018 and end on May 31, 2023. Prime EFS did not agree to this term. The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also provided that the term of the employment would automatically be extended for additional one-year periods unless, at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the expiration of the term of employment, one party gives notice to the other of an intent not to extend. Prime EFS did not agree to this provision.

The draft proposed by Mr. Mazzola also provided that his employment could not be terminated, even for cause, without the concurrence of two of the three “independent” directors of TLSS. Prime EFS did not agree to that provision and could not have done so, since TLSS did not have any independent directors at the time and nothing in the SPA, the stock purchase agreement between TLSS and the selling members of Prime EFS, dated June 18, 2018, obligated TLSS to appoint three or more independent directors.

The prior owners of Prime EFS (the “Prior Owners”) consummated the June 2018 SPA without insisting on the delivery, by TLSS, of a fully executed, integrated document memorializing all terms of the employment relationship between Prime EFS and Mr. Mazzola (an express condition of closing under the June 2018 SPA).

In addition, since June 18, 2018, the Prior Owners have never demanded that Prime EFS deliver a fully executed, integrated document memorializing all terms of the employment relationship between Prime EFS and Mr. Mazzola. On the basis of these facts, Prime EFS has obtained an opinion of counsel that Prime EFS has a strong argument that the Prior Owners waived the condition in the June 2018 SPA requiring TLSS to deliver a fully-executed, integrated document memorializing all terms of an employment relationship between Prime EFS and Mr. Mazzola.

March 31, 2020

Current management of TLSS first became aware, only recently, that the prior chief executive officer of TLSS, Steven Yariv, had material disagreements with the form of employment agreement proposed by Mr. Mazzola and therefore never signed it.

In addition, on February 24, 2019, all officers of TLSS and Prime EFS, including Mr. Mazzola, orally agreed that, owing to the dire financial circumstances of the consolidated Company, no officer of TLSS or Prime EFS would be paid at a rate in excess of $350,000 per year unless and until the board of TLSS unanimously approved a different rate in writing. To date, the board of TLSS has not approved a different rate in writing. Mr. Mazzola now denies that he agreed to a permanent reduction in his salary, claiming instead that he agreed to a mere deferral.

Legal matters

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operation in the normal course of business.

Elrac LLC v. Prime EFS

On or about January 10, 2020, the Company was named as sole defendant in a civil action captioned Elrac LLC v. Prime EFS, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, assigned Case No. 1 :20-cv-00211 (the “Elrac Action”). The complaint in the Elrac Action alleged that Prime EFS failed to pay in full for repairs allegedly required by reason of property damage to delivery vehicles leased by Prime EFS from Elrac LLC (“Elrac”) to conduct its business. The complaint sought damages of not less than $382,000 plus $58,000 in insurance claims that Elrac believes were collected by the Company and not reimbursed to Elrac. Elrac subsequently moved for a default judgment against Prime EFS. By letter to the court dated March 9, 2020, Prime EFS opposed entry of a default judgment and contended that all claims in the Elrac Action were subject to mandatory arbitration clauses found in the individual lease agreements. On March 19, 2020, Elrac filed a stipulation dismissing the Elrac Action without prejudice and advised Prime EFS that it intends to file an arbitration at the American Arbitration Association alleging essentially identical claims. During the period it was leasing vans and trucks from Elrac and its affiliate, Enterprise Leasing Company of Philadelphia, LLC (“Enterprise PA” and, with Elrac, “Enterprise”), Prime EFS transferred $387,392 in deposits required by Enterprise as security for the payment of deductibles and uninsured damage to Enterprise’s fleet. Despite due demand, Enterprise never accounted to Prime EFS’s satisfaction regarding the application of these deposits. On June 10, 2020, Prime EFS therefore initiated an arbitration (the “Prime EFS Arbitration”) against Enterprise at the American Arbitration Association seeking the return of not less than $327,000 of these deposits. Therefore, if, as expected, Elrac and Enterprise PA continue to claim Prime EFS owes it money, allegedly because the deposits together with insurance recoveries were insufficient to cover their alleged damages, Enterprise would have to interpose that contention not in its own arbitration but rather as a counterclaim in the Prime EFS Arbitration.

In the event that Enterprise files such a counterclaim, Prime EFS will contest it vigorously and pursue its own claim for the repayment of a large portion of the escrow deposits plus interest. Nevertheless, given the documentation which Elrac submitted to court in the Elrac Action, including an affidavit from its controller, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has reflected a liability of $440,000, the amount originally claimed as damages by Elrac in the Elrac Action, which has been included in contingency liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

BMF Capital v. Prime EFS LLC et al.

The Company is aware of a settlement agreement made and entered into as of March 6, 2020, under which Prime EFS and certain related entities agreed to pay BMF Capital (“BMF”) $275,000 on or by March 11, 2020, inter alia to discharge a convertible note, to cancel certain warrants on 40,300 shares of TLSS common stock, and to settle certain claims made by BMF Capital under certain merchant cash advance agreements (MCAs) whereby BMF purchased specified percentages of Prime EFS’s total future accounts receivable up to certain agreed upon amounts in exchange for an upfront purchase price. Prime EFS did not pay a portion of the agreed $275,000 settlement amount by March 11, 2020 but the Company has subsequently paid the $275,000 in full. Under the March 6, 2020 settlement agreement, BMF could make claim for additional amounts and/or for recognition of the common stock warrants but to date it has not done so. In the event BMF pursues such a claim against Prime EFS, Prime EFS will contest the case vigorously. Since no such claim has in fact been filed in court, but merely threatened, it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is it possible to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss in the matter. However, it appears that the value of any such claim is under $10,000.

Bellridge Capital, L.P. and SCS, LLC v. TLSS

Currently, the Company is in an ongoing dispute between the Company and two investors in the Company, namely Bellridge and SCS, LLC (“SCS”). Among other things, Bellridge claims that the Company is in breach of its obligations under an August 29, 2019 letter agreement to issue a confession of judgment and to pay Bellridge $150,000 per month against the amounts due under, inter alia, an April 2019 promissory note. In an April 28, 2020 letter, Bellridge contends that TLSS owed Bellridge $1,978,557.76 as of that date. In a purported standstill agreement subsequently proposed by Bellridge, Bellridge claims TLSS owes it $2,271,099.83, a figure which allegedly includes default rate interest. Bellridge also claims that a subordination agreement it signed with the Company on August 30, 2019, was void ab initio. Bellridge has also demanded the conversion of approximately $20,000 in indebtedness into the common stock of the Company, a conversion which the Company has not effectuated because the parties did not come to agreement on a conversion price. Such agreement is required for Bellridge to exercise its conversion rights under an agreement dated April 9, 2019 between Bellridge and the Company. SCS alleges it was induced by fraud to exchange two million shares of Company preferred stock for Company common stock and was damaged thereby. The Company is currently in discussions with Bellridge, SCS and the Company’s senior secured lenders to see whether this dispute can be amicably resolved. In the event Bellridge and/or SCS pursues the above claims against the Company, the Company will contest the case vigorously. Since no such claims have in fact been filed in court, but merely threatened, it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is it possible to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss in the matter.

SCS, LLC v. Transport and Logistics Systems, Inc.

On or about June 7, 2020, the Company was notified of the filing of civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, captioned SCS, LLC v. Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc.

The action was filed on May 26, 2020 and assigned Index No. 154433/2020.

The plaintiff in this action alleges it is a limited liability company that entered into a renewable six-month consulting agreement with the Company dated September 5, 2019 and that the Company failed to make certain monthly payments due thereunder for the months of October 2019 through March 2020, summing to $42,000. The complaint alleges claims for breach of contract, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment and account stated.

Although the Company has not yet filed an answer in this action, because the time period within which it must file an answer has not expired, the Company will deny that it owes any sum to SCS, LLC, under the consulting agreement or otherwise. In addition, the Company expects to file counterclaims against SCS, LLC for an amount in excess of $42,000, on the grounds that SCS, LLC, breached its express obligations under the consulting agreement to hold Company confidential information “in strictest confidence” and to use that information, if at all, “for the sole and exclusive benefit” of the Company. Accordingly, the Company intends to mount a vigorous defense to the action, as Company management believes the action to be entirely bereft of merit.

Shareholder Derivative Action

On June 25, 2020, the Company was served with a purported shareholder derivative action filed in the Circuit Court of the 15^th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Court”) captioned SCS, LLC, derivatively on behalf of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. v. John Mercadante, Jr., Douglas Cerny, Sebastian Giordano, Ascentaur LLC and Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc.

The action was filed on June 18, 2020 with filing number 109085636.

The plaintiff in this action alleges it is a limited liability company formed by a former chief executive officer and director of the Company, Lawrence Sands. The complaint alleges that between April 2019 and June 2020, the current chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, the current chief development officer of the Company and, since February 2020, the Company’s restructuring consultant, breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company. The Company’s restructuring consultant, defendant Sebastian Giordano, renders his services through defendant Ascentaur LLC. In the Company’s understanding, the full text of the complaint is, or soon will be, available on-line at the Court’s website.

Briefly, the complaint alleges that the Company’s chief executive officer breached duties to the Company by, among other things, requesting, in mid-2019, that certain preferred equity holders, including SCS, convert their preferred shares into Company common stock in order to facilitate an equity offering by the Company and then not consummating an equity offering. The complaint also alleges that current management caused the Company to engage in wasteful and unnecessary transactions such as taking merchant cash advances (MCA) on disadvantageous terms. The complaint also alleges that current management “issued themselves over two million shares of common stock without consideration.” The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for breach of fiduciary duty, negligent breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, and civil conspiracy and the appointment of a receiver or custodian for the Company.

The Company’s current management has tendered the complaint to its directors’ and officers’ liability carrier for defense and indemnity purposes. Company management, Mr. Giordano and Ascentaur LLC each advise that they deny each and every allegation of wrongdoing alleged in the complaint. Among other things, current management asserts that it made every effort to consummate an equity offering in late 2019 and early 2020 and could not do so solely because of the Company’s precarious financial condition. Current management also asserts it made clear to SCS and other preferred equity holders, before they converted their shares into common stock, that there was no guarantee the Company would be able to consummate an equity offering in late 2019 or early 2020. In addition, current management asserts that it received equity in the Company on terms that were entirely fair to the Company and entered into MCA transactions solely because there was no other financing available to the Company. Accordingly, current Company management, Mr. Giordano and Ascentaur LLC intend to mount a vigorous defense to the action, as they believe the action to be entirely bereft of merit.
