NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Such events or transactions are described below as of the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

The following subsequent events occurred after January 31, 2026, and prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 

 

Convertible Note Financings

 

On February 9, 2026 and February 17, 2026, the Company entered into separate Securities Purchase Agreements pursuant to which it issued an aggregate principal amount of approximately $760,272 of promissory notes to four unaffiliated accredited investors. After giving effect to original issue discounts and legal fee deductions, the Company received aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $667,000. The notes contain various interest, conversion, prepayment and default provisions as described below.

 

On February 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “CFI SPA”) with CFI Capital LLC (“CFI”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and CFI agreed to purchase, a 6% Convertible Redeemable Note in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 (the “CFI Note”). The CFI Note contains an original issue discount of $20,000, resulting in a purchase price of $180,000, less a $5,000 legal fee deduction, resulting in net proceeds of $175,000 before expenses. The CFI Note bears interest at six percent (6%) per annum from February 9, 2026 and matures on February 9, 2027.

 

Following the six-month anniversary of issuance, CFI may, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the conversion date. In the event of a DTC “Chill,” the conversion price is reduced to fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price during the applicable lookback period. The CFI Note contains a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which may be increased to 9.99% upon 60 days’ prior written notice.

 

The CFI Note further provides that if the Company issues securities to another party with more favorable conversion terms (including conversion price, discount or lookback period), such conversion terms will be adjusted in favor of CFI.

 

The CFI Note may be prepaid subject to premiums ranging from 105% to 140% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, depending on the timing of redemption. In the case of a “Sale Event” (as defined in the CFI Note), the Company must, at CFI’s election, either redeem the CFI Note in cash subject to the applicable premium or permit conversion at the applicable conversion price.

 

Upon an event of default, unless cured within five days or waived by the Holder, and during the continuation of an event of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, reporting delinquency, delisting, insolvency events or cross-default, unless cured by the Company within five days or otherwise waived in writing by CFI, CFI may declare the CFI Note immediately due and payable. Upon default, interest accrues at the highest rate permitted by Florida law and the conversion price is adjusted to forty-five percent (45%) of the lowest trading price during the applicable lookback period. Further, if the Company is delinquent or continues to be delinquent after six months of the Note in its SEC reports, then the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for conversion. The foregoing description of the CFI SPA and CFI Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.

On February 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “GS SPA”) with GS Capital Partners, LLC (“GS”), pursuant to which the Company issued a 12% Promissory Note in the principal amount of $150,000 (the “GS Note”). The GS Note contains an original issue discount of $11,000, resulting in a purchase price of $139,000, less a $4,000 legal fee deduction, resulting in net proceeds of $135,000 before expenses. The Company issued 12,000 restricted shares of common stock to GS as commitment shares (the “GS Commitment Shares”).

 

The GS Note bears interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest is payable in shares of the Company’s common stock (“Interest Shares”), and GS may convert accrued interest into Interest Shares in accordance with the conversion formula set forth in the GS Note.

 

The GS Note matures on February 17, 2027. Beginning August 17, 2026, the Company is required to make six (6) equal monthly payments of $25,000 each, with any remaining outstanding amounts due at maturity.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the GS Note), GS may, at its option and subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest, including default interest and other amounts due, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to seventy percent (70%) of the lowest trading price of the common stock during the fifteen (15) trading days preceding the date of conversion. In the event of a DTC “Chill,” the conversion price is reduced to fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trading price during the applicable lookback period. The GS Note contains a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which may be increased to 9.99% upon 60 days’ prior written notice.

 

If, while the GS Note is outstanding, the Company consummates a financing transaction resulting in net proceeds of $700,000 or more in one or more closings, any proceeds in excess of $700,000 must be used to retire outstanding balances under the GS Note.

 

The GS Note further provides that if the Company issues securities to another party with more favorable conversion terms (including conversion price, discount or lookback period), such conversion terms will be adjusted in favor of GS.

 

Upon an Event of Default, if not cured by the Company within five (5) days or waived by GS, GS may declare the GS Note immediately due and payable and the outstanding principal increases to 150% of the outstanding principal balance, together with accrued interest and other amounts due. Events of Default include, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, reporting delinquency, delisting or loss of quotation, insolvency events, failure to maintain required share reserves, termination of the Company’s transfer agent without consent, and certain cross-defaults.

 

The foregoing description of the GS SPA and GS Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.

On February 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Quick SPA”) with Quick Capital, LLC (“Quick”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and Quick agreed to purchase, a Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $172,222 (the “Quick Note”). The Quick Note contains an original issue discount of $17,222 and $5,000 withheld for legal expenses, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $150,000 before other expenses. The Quick Note matures twelve (12) months from the date of issuance.

 

The Quick Note bears interest at six percent (6%) per annum on the outstanding principal amount. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to the lesser of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

 

Beginning on the 180th day following issuance, and subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, Quick may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued interest and other amounts due into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date of conversion. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the conversion discount increases such that the conversion price equals forty-five percent (45%) of the lowest trading price during the applicable lookback period. The Company is required to maintain a share reserve equal to at least four (4) times the number of shares issuable upon full conversion of the Quick Note, and failure to maintain such reserve constitutes an Event of Default.

 

The Quick Note may be prepaid by the Company, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, upon not less than three (3) trading days’ prior written notice. If prepaid within the first 180 days following issuance, the Company must pay a premium equal to (i) 105% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest if prepaid within 0–30 days of issuance, (ii) 110% if prepaid during days 31–60, (iii) 120% if prepaid during days 61–90, (iv) 130% if prepaid during days 91–120, (v) 135% if prepaid during days 121–150, and (vi) 140% if prepaid during days 151–180. The Note may not be prepaid after the 180th day anniversary of the issuance date.

 

Upon an Event of Default, including, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations or covenants, failure to maintain SEC reporting compliance, delisting or loss of quotation, insolvency events, failure to maintain required share reserves, or cross-default under other indebtedness owed to Quick or its affiliates, the Quick Note becomes immediately due and payable and the outstanding principal balance increases to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due; in certain circumstances, the default amount increases to two hundred percent (200%) of the outstanding principal.

 

While the Quick Note is outstanding, the Holder is entitled to participate in any pro rata issuance of rights to purchase common stock or other securities as if it were a holder of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon full conversion of the Quick Note (without regard to any conversion limitations) immediately prior to the applicable record date.
