October 2020 Financing

 

In October 2020, the Company closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes (the "2020 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000. The 2020 Notes accrued interest at 12% annually, had a two-year term, and were convertible into common stock at the lower of $1.00 or a 25% discount of the price per share of Common Stock offered in a future, qualified offering. The financing also included the issuance of warrants to purchase 399,998 shares of common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price equal to the lower of (1) $1.50 per share, or (2) at a price equal to 75% of the price per share of the common stock offered in a future, qualified offering.

  

The Company determined that the provision associated with a potential reduction in the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrant represented an embedded derivative financial liability. The derivative liability was initially valued at $728,587 using a multinomial lattice model with $460,588 and $267,999 related to the derivative features of the notes and warrants, respectively. In addition, $580,000 of the proceeds were applied as a debt discount to reduce the initial carrying value of the 2020 Notes to zero with the remaining $20,000 applied against transaction fees. The excess of the liability over the net proceeds totaled $148,587 which was recognized as a derivative expense in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.

 

As of October 31, 2022, (a) the 2020 Notes were fully converted into common stock and the related derivative liability eliminated, and (b) 266,666 of the warrants were outstanding with a derivative liability of $330,493.

 

January 2021 Financing

 

In January 2021, the Company closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes (the "2021 Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000.
