CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We make forward-looking statements under the “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this Report. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time the statements are made and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Report.

 

You should read the matters described in “Risk Factors” and the other cautionary statements made in this Report, as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Report. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Report will prove to be accurate and therefore prospective investors are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements speak only at the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we provide no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

RAPID THERAPEUTIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

(1)Condensed Interim Financial Statements 

 

The Company - Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 2013, originally under the name of PowerMedChairs. On June 2, 2017, the Company changed its name to Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc.  On February 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain, LLC through an exchange agreement in a transaction that resulted in the transition to a planned new business of mining crypto-currency. Effective November 15, 2019, the Company exited from that business and adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which involve the rapid application of therapeutics using inhaler technology that the Company licensed from a third party as a result of the execution of a license agreement with the licensor (see Note 4).  In conjunction with the adoption of that new business strategy, the Company changed its name to Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., effective January 13, 2020. At that time, the Company also commenced initial sales of its inhaler products.

 

Interim Financial Information - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the changes in its stockholder’s deficit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements. The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies. Decreased demand for our products caused by COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Separately, economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our products and our operating results. Based on our limited operating history, we believe the range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Company’s supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets.  At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Company’s business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 

Basis of Accounting - The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rxoid Health Solutions, LLC and Power Blockchain, LLC (which is presently inactive).

 

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Change in Fiscal Year - In February 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. The Company’s fiscal year now begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year, starting on January 1, 2021. The amounts reported herein for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 were derived from the Company’s previously filed quarterly financial statements, based on the prior fiscal year end.

Table of contents


Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventory - Inventory as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consists of inhalers and related products and supplies delivered to a secured location within the Company’s offices, and held for sale to wholesale or retail customers.  Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and records an allowance to reduce the carrying value of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value based on its assessment of market conditions, inventory turnover and current stock levels.

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment, consisting of office furniture and fixtures, laboratory equipment and leasehold improvements, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from two to five years.

 

Intangible Assets - The Company amortizes the costs of any renewable license or sub-license agreements over the contractual terms of such renewable agreements. For any license or sub-license agreements which do not require any renewal payments to be made, the Company performs periodic assessments in order to determine whether there has been any impairment in the carrying value of such intangible assets (see Note 4).

 

Revenue recognition - We account for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The unit of account in Topic 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer to a customer either a distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) or a series of distinct goods or services provided at a point in time or over a period of time. Topic 606 requires that a contract’s transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is to be allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Earnings per Share - The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as further noted below.

 

Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is


10


Table of contents


based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 

Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.

 

Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available”. This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued several new Accounting Standards Updates which the Company believes will have no material impact to the Company.

 

Subsequent Events - Management has evaluated any subsequent events occurring in the period from September 30, 2021 through the date the financial statements were issued, to determine if disclosure in this report is warranted (see Note 11).

 

(3)Going Concern 

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has generated minimal revenues and has suffered recurring losses totaling $7,306,616 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of this filing.

 

In order to obtain the necessary capital to sustain operations, management’s plans include, among other things, the possibility of pursuing new equity sales and/or making additional debt borrowings. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing, or that such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

(4)Intangible Assets 

 

The Company has acquired certain intangible asset rights to use the metered dose inhaler (MDI) developed by EM3 Methodologies, LLC (“EM3”) under a perpetual license agreement, dated February 9, 2021 (the “EM3 Exclusive License”). From November 15, 2019 to February 9, 2021, we held essentially the same rights, but on a more costly basis, under a renewable sublicense agreement with an affiliated company that had a license agreement with EM3, as further described below.

 

Effective November 15, 2019, we entered into a sublicense agreement (the “TMDI Agreement”) with Texas MDI, Inc., a Texas corporation, which is controlled by Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company (“TMDI”), whereby we acquired a sublicense from TMDI to use certain technology regarding MDI’s that TMDI had licensed from EM3 and the right to use the RxoidTM brand name owned by TMDI. At that time, TMDI had exclusive rights to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, export and/or import and commercialize, the ‘Desirick Procedure’, which is a proprietary process owned by EM3 for producing MDI using hemp (and other) derivatives in the States of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada, pursuant to an Exclusive License Agreement dated October 1, 2019, by and between TMDI and EM3 (the “Original EM3 Exclusive License”). Pursuant to the TMDI Agreement, we obtained substantially the same rights that TMDI had under the Original EM3 Exclusive License, as to the use of the ‘Desirick Procedure’ for the manufacturing of pressured MDI’s (pMDI) containing cannabis, hemp or a combination thereof in any legal jurisdiction, in consideration for the issuance of 140,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such rights were recorded as the acquisition of an intangible asset in the amount of $140,000, based on the par value of the shares issued.

Table of contents


Effective February 9, 2021, both the TMDI Agreement and the Original EM3 Exclusive License were effectively terminated by mutual agreement of all parties and EM3 agreed to provide the Company with a royalty-free, perpetual license to use the Desirick Procedure or any derivation thereof and its application and use on an exclusive basis in the states of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada (subject to pre-existing licensing rights which have been provided by EM3 in such jurisdictions), and on a non-exclusive basis throughout the rest of the world.

 

During the term of the TMDI Agreement, we were required to reimburse TMDI for the initial two year license fee owed by TMDI to EM3 in the amount of $200,000. We partially satisfied this obligation by making an equipment purchase on behalf of EM3 in the amount of $135,000, and agreed to pay the remaining license fee of $65,000, either by making cash fee payments or by making cash purchases of certain supplies from EM3, within a 24-month period (for which, we had recorded a liability of $44,925 for the unpaid portion of this amount in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020). We had recorded the entire $200,000 license fee as an intangible asset and were amortizing such expense on a straight-line basis over a 24-month period at the rate of $25,000 per quarter. Pursuant to the termination of the two agreements on February 9, 2021, we no longer owe TMDI (or EM3) any license fees under either agreement (including, the accrued liability of $44,925). Effective in February 2021, the Company is accounting for the licenses as an indefinite life asset not subject to amortization, resulting in the remaining balance of $170,075 being subjected to impairment testing at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

 

(5)Asset Acquisition 

 

On November 16, 2020, the Company closed an Asset Purchase and Sales Agreement with Razor Jacket, LLC (“Razor Jacket”), an Oregon based supplier of isolate and related products and its owners, with an effective date of November 1, 2020 (the “RJ Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the RJ Agreement, we purchased the intellectual property owned by Razor Jacket and the related equipment owned by the two members of Razor Jacket for a total purchase price of: (a) $300,000 in cash, paid at closing; (b) 625,000 shares of restricted common stock, issued at closing; and (c) the right for the sellers to earn up to 16,500,000 shares of our Series A of preferred stock, which are convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions. The acquired equipment was recently shipped to our existing facilities in Texas, where it is awaiting installation in a planned new location in that area (see Note 11).

 

The Company has accounted for this transaction as an acquisition of assets, pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-50. Accordingly, we have accounted for each component of the purchase price as follows:

 

·We have charged the $300,000 in cash paid to the sellers at closing, which reflects an underlying cost that has no continuing benefit to the Company, to general and administrative expense in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2020 that was a prepaid asset at closing. 

·We have allocated the 625,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to the sellers at closing as an addition to property and equipment in the amount of $500,000, based on an agreed upon price of $0.80 per share, which approximated the then current quoted price of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with the terms of the RJ Agreement. 

·We have treated the right for the sellers to earn up to 16,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company, consisting of three tranches of 5,500,000 shares each, as performance based contingent consideration, which potentially could be earned over a three-year period.  Therefore, the Company will account for the issuance of any such shares of Series A preferred stock as compensation expense, when (and if) each tranche is earned and the shares are issued, pursuant to the terms of the RJ Agreement. 

 

Razor Jacket was originally formed in July 2019 for the sole purpose of researching techniques for the extraction of isolates from raw hemp. We have not presented any pro forma disclosures relating to this acquisition in the notes to our financial statements because the transaction is deemed an asset acquisition.

On August 4, 2021, the Company closed a short-term bridge loan with an institutional investor in the gross amount of $1,941,176. The closing of this bridge loan resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $1,650,000, after deducting the 15% original issue discount, which the Company is accreting as a non-cash charge to interest expense over the term of the loan.  We recorded amortization on this original issue discount for the period from August 4, 2021 to September 30, 2021, in the amount of $62,549. The bridge loan is in the form of a convertible debenture with a maturity date of May 1, 2022 or earlier upon the closing of a public offering of common stock and/or common stock equivalents which results in the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange (including Nasdaq). The debenture may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the investor and does not accrue interest, except upon the occurrence of an event of default, at which time the amount owed accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum, until paid in full. While the debenture is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness, repurchasing its securities or repaying certain of its indebtedness, paying cash dividends or other distributions on equity securities, other than pursuant to certain limited exceptions. The debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of:

 

(a)$0.40 per share, which is equal to 100% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the closing of the offering, or 

(b)a 25% discount to the offering price of the Company’s common stock in a qualified listing on a national exchange. 

 

The conversion of the debenture is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, preventing such conversion by the holder thereof, if such exercise would result in such holder and its affiliates, exceeding ownership of 4.99% of our common stock, which percentage may be increased to up to 9.99%, with at least 61 days prior written notice by the holder thereof.

 

In accounting for this debenture, the Company has early adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Accordingly, the Company is treating the entire debenture as a debt liability on its consolidated balance sheet and has not bifurcated it into separate debt and equity components. The Company is using the proceeds of the bridge loan to meet its short-term working capital needs in anticipation of ultimately closing a qualified listing on a national exchange.

 

In conjunction with the convertible debenture, we granted the investor five-year warrants to purchase a total of 4,852,940 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. Such warrants have cashless exercise rights if when exercised, and following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the offering, a registration statement for the underlying shares of common stock, is not effective. The exercise of the warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, preventing such exercise by the holder, if such exercise would result in such holder and its affiliates, exceeding ownership of 4.99% of our common stock, which percentage may be increased to up to 9.99% with at least 61 days prior written notice by the holder. The warrants contain anti-dilution rights such that if we issue, or are deemed to have issued, common stock at a price less than the then exercise price of the warrants, subject to certain exceptions, the exercise price of the warrants is automatically reduced to such lower value, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereafter is adjusted proportionately so that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of such warrants is the same prior to and after such reduction in exercise price. The warrants also require the Company, at the holder’s option, following a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreement), to purchase the warrants from the holder in cash, based on the Black Scholes value (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the warrant). Additionally, we made a grant to the placement agent for the bridge loan of warrants to purchase a total of 242,647 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, with substantially similar terms. All of these warrants are outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

Table of contents


We have accounted for the issuance of the warrants as a liability recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 480-10. Using the Black Scholes model, we valued the warrant liability at issuance at $1,717,213. This was recorded as a discount to the convertible debt of $1,650,000 with the excess $67,213 expensed as interest. We are accreting the debt discount to interest expense over the term of the convertible debenture. Accordingly, we recorded amortization for the period from August 4, 2021 to September 30, 2021, in the amount of $367,522. As of September 30, 2021, we adjusted the warrant liability, to its then current fair value of $1,146,507, based on the Black Scholes model, resulting in a gain on warrant liability of $570,706 that was recorded in the statement of operations.

 

Prior to obtaining the bridge loan noted above, the Company received unsecured cash advances from two of its officers from May through August 2021, in the net amount of $260,000. These related party advances accrue interest at the rate of 1% per annum and are payable on demand.  Such advances are expected to be repaid out of the proceeds of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities in conjunction with the planned listing on a national exchange. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in achieving a closing of the underwritten public offering.

 

Effective August 31, 2020, the Company reached the necessary milestone to trigger the conversion of certain notes payable issued on various dates in 2018 and 2019, as amended, in the total principal amount of $732,835, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to a 4.99% ownership limitation for each beneficial owner of such notes.  In conjunction with this conversion, holders of notes in the principal amount of $404,601, plus additional accrued interest in the amount of $96,536, converted their notes into 10,022,749 shares of common stock at that time.

 

Effective March 31, 2021, the following additional conversions of the Company’s remaining convertible notes payable occurred: (i) the holders of convertible notes payable issued in 2018 at a conversion price of $0.13 per share, with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $410,888, converted their notes into a total of 3,160,684 shares of common stock; and (ii) the holders of convertible notes payable amended or issued in 2019 at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $383,470, the automatic conversion of which had previously been triggered on August 31, 2020, as discussed above, subject to each holder’s beneficial ownership limitation, converted their notes into a total of 7,669,381 shares of common stock. As a result of these conversions, a total of 10,830,065 new shares of common stock were issued. As of September 30, 2021, convertible notes payable in the amount of $174,685, plus accrued interest in the amount of $36,173, remain outstanding and are available to be subsequently converted into 4,217,160 shares of common stock, subject to the ownership limitation (see Note 8).

 

From June 30, 2020 to August 14, 2020, the Company entered into three identical Securities Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor (the “Buyer”) with respect to Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company to the Buyer in the total amount of $125,000. The Notes had a maturity date of one year after the date of each issuance and bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which was not due until maturity. At the option of the Buyer, the Notes could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, beginning one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of each issuance.  Under this option, the conversion price was equal to a discount of 42% of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices for the common stock during the prior fifteen (15) trading day period. The Buyer was limited to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation in connection with such conversion right under the note. The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Notes required the recognition of a derivative liability upon each issuance. Accordingly, the Company calculated the fair value of these derivative liabilities, using the Black Scholes model, and recognized a derivative liability for each Note in that amount offset by a debt discount. On December 30, 2020, the Buyer elected to exercise the conversion option on $35,000 of principal of the first Note resulting in the issuance of 80,775 shares of common stock to the Buyer. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Buyer elected to exercise the conversion option on the remaining principal of the first Note and the entire principal of the second and third Notes resulting in the issuance of 264,520 shares of common stock to the Buyer.

 

Effective November 15, 2019, the following transactions took place in the Company’s notes payable:

 

·The Company entered into new promissory notes with two accredited investors under which the Company borrowed a total of $300,000, with such notes maturing in five years, accruing interest at 5% per annum, and being convertible into common stock at the option of the holders, at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.

Table of contents


·The two holders of outstanding convertible notes payable elected to exercise their existing rights to convert a portion of their notes into shares of common stock, at the stated conversion ratio of $0.13 per share. The two holders converted a total principal amount of $2,034,760 in notes into a total of 15,652,000 shares of common stock leaving the remaining total principal balance of $165,240 unconverted. 

 

·The Company entered into an amendment with the holders of existing non-convertible notes in the total principal amount of $732,835 (out of a total of $756,535) whereby such notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest with deferral of the maturity dates being extended for one year or until the Company had raised an additional $500,000 of new equity securities, at which time, the principal and accrued interest was to be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share (as indicated above, such notes in the amount of $708,150 have been converted into common stock through September 30, 2021, as a result of such $500,000 equity raise threshold being met). 

 

The Company performed an analysis of both the newly issued convertible notes and the newly amended existing notes, which were formerly non-convertible, to determine whether there was a beneficial conversion feature and noted none.

 

(8)Stockholders’ Equity 

 

Effective January 13, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to increase the total authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 200 million shares to 750 million shares and to authorize 100 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock of the Company. Subsequently, the Company filed three separate designations of preferred stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada, beginning in November 2020, designating 16,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, 2,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, and 8,500,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, however, no shares of preferred stock have been issued to date.

 

Effective August 31, 2020, the Company reached the necessary milestone to trigger the conversion of certain notes payable issued to the holders on various dates in 2018 and 2019, as amended, in the total principal amount of $732,835 into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to a 4.99% ownership limitation for each beneficial owner of such notes. In conjunction with this conversion, holders of notes in the principal amount of $404,601, plus an additional accrued interest amount of $96,536, converted their notes into 10,022,749 shares of common stock at that time.

 

Effective March 31, 2021, the following additional conversions of the Company’s remaining convertible notes payable occurred: (i) the holders of convertible notes payable issued in 2018 at a conversion price of $0.13 per share with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $410,888 converted their notes into a total of 3,160,684 shares of common stock; and (ii) the holders of convertible notes payable amended or issued in 2019 at a conversion price of $0.05 per share with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $383,470, the automatic conversion of which had previously been triggered on August 31, 2020, as discussed above, subject to each holder’s beneficial ownership limitation, converted their notes into a total of 7,669,381 shares of common stock. As a result of these conversions, a total of 10,830,065 new shares of common stock were issued. As of September 30, 2021, convertible notes payable in the amount of $174,685, plus accrued interest in the amount of $36,173, remain outstanding and are available to be subsequently converted into 4,217,160 shares of common stock, subject to the ownership limitation (see Note 7).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into private stock subscription agreements with several accredited investors whereby it sold them a total of 1,462,500 shares of restricted common stock at an offering price of $0.40 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $585,000. The investors also received an equal number of warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.85 to $1.00 per share. Such purchases must be made within 180 days of the Company’s 3-day volume weighted average stock price being above the exercise price, otherwise, such warrants are void.

 

On December 29, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to the ratification by the majority shareholders, which ratification occurred pursuant to a majority stockholder consent, effective on December 30, 2020, the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Subject to adjustment in connection with the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or subdivision or combination of the shares of common stock, or a


16


Table of contents


reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan is the sum of (i) 25,000,000 shares, and (ii) an annual increase on March 1st of each calendar year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2030, in each case subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Company (if any) on or prior to the applicable date, equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the total shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; (B) twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock; and (C) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors or compensation committee of the Company (if any)(the “Share Limit”), also known as an “evergreen” provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares added to the Share Limit are available for issuance as incentive stock options only to the extent that making such shares available for issuance as incentive stock options would not cause any incentive stock option to cease to qualify as such. In the event that the Board of Directors or the compensation committee (if any) does not take action to affirmatively approve an increase in the Share Limit on or prior to the applicable date provided for under the plan, the Share Limit remains at its then current level. Notwithstanding the above, no more than 250,000,000 incentive stock options may be granted pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Plan.

 

The 2020 Plan will provide an opportunity for any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company, subject to limitations provided by federal or state securities laws, to receive (i) incentive stock options (to eligible employees only); (ii) nonqualified stock options; (iii) restricted stock; (iv) stock awards; (v) shares in performance of services; or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. In making such determinations, the Board of Directors may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such person, his or her present and potential contribution to the Company’s success, and such other factors as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall deem relevant. The Company has made no awards under the 2020 Plan to date.

 

In March 2018, the Board approved the establishment of a 2018 Stock Option Plan with an authorization for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock. The Plan is designed to provide for future discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards and stock unit awards to key employees and non-employee directors. The Company has made no awards under the 2018 Stock Option Plan to date.

 

(9)Related Party Transactions 

 

Office services were provided without charge by our Chief Executive Officer and director, Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., from November 15, 2019 to June 30, 2021 (at which time, the Company relocated to a new leased office location). Such costs are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company’s audit committee is tasked with resolving related party conflicts.

 

(10)Commitments and Contingencies 

 

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable, primarily for the following reasons: (i) many of the relevant legal proceedings are in preliminary stages, and until such proceedings develop further, there is often uncertainty regarding the relevant facts and circumstances at issue and potential liability; and (ii) many of these proceedings involve matters of which the outcomes are inherently difficult to predict. We currently have no insurance policies covering such potential losses.

 

We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.

 

(11)Subsequent Events 

 

Effective October 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a landlord to lease 8,566 square feet of commercial office building space located in Addison, Texas (see Note 5). The lease agreement is for a total term of 63 months, beginning October 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2026. Under the lease agreement, the Company will receive three months of free rent for the period from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, and will be obligated to make the following annual rental payments thereafter:

Additionally, the Company will be responsible for paying its pro rata share of the annual operating expenses in the building. The Company is currently building out this space and intends to utilize it as its corporate office as well as its aerosol filling laboratory and isolate manufacturing facility.

 

The Company will account for the lease agreement as an operating lease under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Accordingly, the Company will capitalize the present value of the future lease obligations and amortize the related right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis each month over the term of the lease.

Overview

 

Effective November 15, 2019, the Company and Texas MDI, Inc., a Texas corporation, which is controlled by Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company (“TMDI”), entered into a sublicense agreement (the “Sublicense Agreement”) whereby the Company acquired a sublicense from TMDI to use certain technology regarding metered dose inhalers (MDI) that TMDI had licensed from EM3 Methodologies, LLC (“EM3”) and the right to use the RxoidTM brand name owned by TMDI. TMDI had exclusive rights to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, export and/or import and commercialize, the ‘Desirick Procedure’, which is a proprietary process owned by EM3 for producing MDI using hemp (and other) derivatives in the States of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada (subject to pre-existing licensing rights which have been provided by EM3 in such jurisdictions; provided that we currently have no knowledge of any pre-existing licensing rights), pursuant to an Exclusive License Agreement dated October 1, 2019, by and between TMDI and EM3 (the “EM3 Exclusive License”). Pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement the Company obtained substantially the same rights that TMDI had under the Original EM3 Exclusive License, as to the use of the ‘Desirick Procedure’ for the manufacturing of pressured MDI’s (pMDI) containing hemp extract or hemp isolates or a combination thereof in any legal jurisdiction in consideration for 140,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (issued in November 2019).

 

With execution of the Sublicense Agreement in November 2019, the Company adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities involving the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM MDI technology then being sublicensed from EM3, with prospective healthcare providers, pharmacies and other parties in the United States and any foreign jurisdiction where hemp products are legal. Simultaneously with the entry into the Sublicense Agreement, the Company exited from its previous operations in the bitcoin mining business, which had been suspended since the middle of 2018.

 

The term of the Sublicense Agreement was from November 15, 2019 until the expiration of the Original EM3 Exclusive License Agreement. Pursuant to an amendment to the Original EM3 Exclusive License Agreement entered into in June 2020, all improvements to the ‘Desirick Procedure’ created by TMDI during the term of such agreement belonged to TMDI.

 

During the term of the Sublicense Agreement, the Company was required to advance payments to TMDI that TMDI was required to make to EM3, pursuant to the Original EM3 Exclusive License. The Company’s obligation to make such advancements to TMDI was conditioned upon TMDI providing the Company with an advance notice requesting such payments, along with an accounting showing the calculations for such payments. Accordingly, the Company had an obligation to advance TMDI an amount of $200,000 as a license fee covering the first two years of the Sublicense Agreement and to pay an additional $200,000 each 2 years thereafter (unless at least 100,000 in MDI consumables were purchased from EM3 for use in such states during the preceding year). The Company partially satisfied this obligation by making an equipment purchase on behalf of TMDI in the amount of $135,000, and agreed to pay the remaining license fee of $65,000 in cash within a 24-month period. The Company recorded the entire $200,000 license fee as an intangible asset and was amortizing it to expense on a straight-line basis over a 24-month period. The Sublicense Agreement and Original EM3 Exclusive License were terminated in connection with the parties’ entry into the Settlement Agreement discussed below.

 

Effective on November 30, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of Rxoid Health Solutions, LLC (“Rxoid Health”), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement entered into

with TMDI, which previously owned such entity, for $100. Rxoid Health owns the right to the RxoidTM brand name, which as of November 30, 2020, is owned and controlled by the Company, and no longer licensed from TMDI. TMDI is controlled by Mr. Schmidt, our Chief Executive Officer and director. RxoidTM Health will be the holding company which will own all intellectual property of the Company, including, but not limited to, that being developed under its isolate operations acquired from Razor Jacket, LLC.

 

Subsequently, in December 2020, as part of a contemplated liquidation of TMDI, its owners were distributed all of TMDI’s 140,000,000 shares of stock which is subject to Trading Agreements entered into between the Company and the prior shareholders of TMDI.

 

On February 9, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement dated February 9, 2021 (the “Settlement Agreement”) with TMDI, Diamond Head Ventures, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Schmidt and a predecessor to TMDI (“Diamond Head”), EM3, the owner of EM3, Richard Adams (“Adams”) and Holly Brothers Pictures, LLC, an entity co-owned by Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Adams (“Holly”). The Settlement Agreement was entered into in order to settle certain disputes which had arisen between the parties relating to the Sublicense Agreement, Original EM3 Exclusive License, and related agreements. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to (a) terminate the Sublicense Agreement, Original EM3 Exclusive License, and a separate Sales and Licensing Agreement dated November 21, 2018, pursuant to which EM3 agreed to sell certain consumables to Diamond Head and provide a license to use certain intellectual property in connection therewith; (b) Adams agreed that the Company was no longer required to issue him 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were to be issued to him pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment (which have not been issued as of such date); (c) EM3 and Adams agreed to enter into a new Exclusive License Agreement with the Company (discussed below); (d) each of the parties to the Settlement Agreement, other than the Company, agreed that the Company was the rightful owner of all improvements to the Licensed IP (as defined below), which was created by TMDI, Diamond Head or the Company, prior to, and after the date of the parties’ entry into the Settlement Agreement; (e) Holly Brothers agreed to transfer to Adams ownership of a touring coach; and (f) each of TMDI, Diamond Head and the Company provided a general release to EM3 and Adams, and EM3 and Adams provided a general release to each of TMDI, Diamond Head, and each of their officers, directors and related parties. As a result of the release, the Company no longer owes TMDI (or EM3) any license fees under the Sublicense Agreement or Original EM3 Exclusive License (including, but not limited to the $65,000 previously owed under the terms of the Sublicense Agreement, which amount was previously accrued).

 

Also, on February 9, 2021, as a required term and condition of the Settlement Agreement, the Company, EM3, and Adams entered into a new Exclusive License Agreement dated February 9, 2021 (the “New EM3 License”). Pursuant to the New EM3 License, EM3 provided us a royalty-free, perpetual license to use the Desirick Procedure or any derivation thereof and its application and use, including, but not limited to, related consumables (cans, valves, and actuators), filling equipment for pressurized MDIs (pMDIs), and/or plastic testing vials and training, support or maintenance thereon of any combination thereof, and all intellectual property of EM3 relating to the foregoing (collectively, the “Licensed IP”), on an exclusive basis in the states of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada (subject to pre-existing licensing rights which have been provided by EM3 in such jurisdictions; provided that we currently have no knowledge of any pre-existing licensing rights), and on a non-exclusive basis throughout the rest of the world, in consideration for $10. The New EM3 License provides our right of ownership of any improvements to the Licensed IP, requires EM3 to indemnify us against any claims associated with EM3’s breach of the agreement (including in the event any third-party claims to own the Licensed IP), and contains non-circumvention provisions. The New EM3 License continues in place until such time, if ever, as we terminate the agreement. In the event we terminate the New EM3 License, we are provided the non-exclusive license to use the Licensed IP throughout the world for so long as we continue to manufacture and distribute products.

 

As a result of the Settlement Agreement and the New EM3 License, we no longer owe any obligations to TMDI or EM3 (other than the $10 and other consideration already paid), and have a royalty-free, perpetual exclusive license applicable to Texas, California, Florida, and Nevada from EM3 (subject to pre-existing licensing rights which have been provided by EM3 in such jurisdictions; provided that we currently have no knowledge of any pre-existing licensing rights) to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, contract fill, export and/or import and commercialize the Licensed IP, which enables the production of a so-called metered dose inhaler using hemp cannabinoid derivatives under the RxoidTM brand or on a white label basis.

 

Separately, the Company completed an asset acquisition from Razor Jacket, LLC (“Razor Jacket”) and its two owners who were subsequently hired by the Company in November 2020 (provided that one of such seller’s employment with the Company has since been terminated). The Company purchased all of Razor Jacket’s

equipment relating to the manufacture of cannabinoid isolates and related products, including, but not limited to, terpenes, and the production of isolate and related products.

 

The Company paid $300,000 in cash, and issued 625,000 shares of restricted common stock to the owners, and provided them the right to earn up to 16.5 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, convertible for common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions. As of the date of this filing, the Company fully expects all conditions will have been met in the near future, which includes the construction of a new facility and completion of patent applications.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Since execution of the Sublicense Agreement with TMDI in November 2019, our plan of operations has been primarily focused on preliminary activities of marketing and production planning for our licensed aerosol inhaler product line ultimately leading to the initial sales of our new products, beginning in early 2020. In that regard, we have supplemented the proceeds received from the sale of convertible notes with the private sales of restricted shares of our common stock to various accredited investors, and completed the recent sale of a convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $1,941,176, as discussed in greater detail below, to further fund our operations moving forward.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

Our growth strategy is expected to build on what we believe is a superior delivery system that delivers a superior Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), that together increases performance and safety of our products. We plan on growing our business in six main ways:

 

·Capturing market share in the hemp space.  Via our MDI devices that deliver a measured amount of aerosolized inhalant in a mist to the lungs, we believe our product offering provides a faster acting, more accurate dosing and higher value bioavailability of our ingredients for our customers. As a result, we believe that we will be able to increase our consumer base and to provide top line growth for our retail and clinic customers. 

 

·Increasing penetration of hemp user. There is a decreasing stigma around the use of non- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis products as a result of legal, regulatory and social views are rapidly evolving. However, there are still some people and physicians unwilling to use these products largely based on the inability to achieve accurate and controlled dosing. Our product lines are meticulously manufactured to ensure an accurate and measured dose with every actuation. We believe that this will allow us to provide consumers and medical practitioners with the peace of mind that they can utilize our products safely and effectively and thus bring new consumers into the category. 

 

·Expand our product portfolio. We plan to grow our product portfolio by expanding into areas where we can identify “safe for inhalation” non- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) ingredients which are currently being used in less efficacious delivery methods and put them into our delivery device. 

 

·Cannabinoids, the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Clinical Testing. The cannabinoid and hemp marketplace are still somewhat devoid of medical substantiation. There have been very few products that have started to undergo medical testing in the hopes of gaining information around benefits, dosing and potential FDA approval. Our goal is to start to explore the medical opportunity by conducting voluntary clinical testing on our nhālerTM branded products. We have partnered with a healthcare group who has a captive patient population to test our nhālerTM brand with patients presenting with clinical diagnosis around pain, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia and long haul COVID-19 problems. This timing of this testing is based on the results of the FDA application process, described below. In addition to clinical testing, we have engaged with a group of FDA consultants to help us position our manufacturing and formulations with the future goal of filing a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA. We have removed products sold under the nhāler brand name from the market because we are preparing to file an IND (Investigational New Drug Application) with the FDA. We have hired a law firm to prepare the application and have further hired a lobbying firm located in Washington, D.C. to interface with the FDA on our behalf in the U.S. Congress. The Company is presently intending to conduct a pre-IND meeting with the FDA prior to filing the actual IND application with the FDA. The Company believes the pre-IND meeting and the IND application will occur in the fourth quarter of 2021.

·Legal Status. Our products are not FDA approved. However, we plan to file an Investigative New Drug Application (“IND”) with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2021 to conduct Phase I human clinical trials of our flagship metered dose inhaler containing CBD. CBD is considered a drug by the FDA and no CBD product, except one prescription product, is approved by the FDA for use in humans. Nevertheless, the FDA generally has not interfered in the commercial sale of CBD products to the public unless a manufacturer or marketer of such products make therapeutic or false claims about their products. This position has been publicly stated by the FDA in writing. As such, we make no therapeutic claims whatsoever. In addition, the FDA does not consider CBD to be a dietary substance and presently may not be labeled as such. Finally, our MDI is considered a class II medical device and the FDA considers such devices, when not properly manufactured or if adulterated, to be potentially dangerous to the public at large. There are currently ongoing discussions about CBD and cannabinoids with Congress that may impact the Company’s business operations both positively and negatively. 

 

·International Expansion. We plan to eventually seek to expand our marketing and sales to outside of the United States, potentially sometime in 2022, funding permitting, and assuming further declines in the spread of COVID-19. Similar to the growth trends that we are seeing in the U.S., we believe there will be a significant opportunity for us to capture market share internationally with our product offerings. 

 

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April 2020, many U.S. states and local jurisdictions began issuing ‘stay-at-home’ orders. As disclosed above, the Company has recently adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using proprietary metered dose inhaler technology that the Company has recently licensed from a third party. This strategy includes typical pharmaceutical type marketing efforts (e.g., marketing directly to doctors) that has been shown to work with traditional drug product type sales, versus novelty type sales, which currently include cannabidiols. We are planning on moving away from traditional internet sales and marketing and believe this transition will benefit the Company going forward. COVID-19 resulted in the Company being forced to temporarily suspend its marketing plans as the Company was not able to travel to meet with doctors directly. Moving forward, the range of possible impacts on the Company’s business in the event the coronavirus pandemic continues to include: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Company’s supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets.  At this time, the Company’s sales have not been materially affected by the pandemic (as the Company has had only limited sales to date), and it believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Company’s business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic; however, it is possible that Covid-19 and the worldwide response thereto, may have a material negative effect on our operations, cash flows and results of operations.

 

Through the date of this Report, we have been able to successfully support our operations with our cash on hand, through equity sales (which have to date been completed through private offerings), and borrowings. Moving forward we believe we will need to raise additional funding to support our operations which funding we anticipate being available through the sale of equity or debt, similar to our recently completed sale of a convertible debenture, as discussed below. We also continue to evaluate our business operations based on new information as it becomes available and will make changes that we consider necessary in light of any new developments regarding the pandemic. Additionally, we anticipate requiring further funds in the future to grow our operations and produce additional product lines, which funds we anticipate raising through equity offerings, and if necessary, debt.

 

The future impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations is currently unknown. The pandemic is continuously evolving and the full extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact us depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, as well as potential seasonality of new outbreaks and virus mutations.

Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020

 

The following discussion reflects the Company’s revenues and expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as reported in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1.

 

Three months ended September 30, 2021 versus three months ended September 30, 2020

 

Revenues - The Company commenced limited sales of its inhaler products to customers, while still in a product development mode, on a trial basis in January 2020.  However, due to the subsequent impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, as well as other contributing factors, the Company has not sustained a consistent level of sales thus far.  The Company has two different sales channels in trial mode as follows:

 

·Wholesale - designed to capture fairly large, but sporadic, orders received from wholesale customers, often for substantial quantities with relatively high profit margins. 

·Retail - designed to capture a high volume of small orders received from retail customers through an online portal, with significantly lower profit margins. 

 

The revenues from such sales on a trial basis in the three months ended September 30, 2021, were $50, compared to $1,629 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Revenues from sales of the Company’s inhaler and other products, under both trial sales channels, are expected to gradually increase in the future, once the current trial period ends.

 

Cost of Goods Sold - Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were zero compared to $4,791 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The cost of goods sold reflected the cost of procuring inhalers and related products and supplies for resale. The cost of goods sold in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was not relevant due to the very low level of sales in that period, whereas the cost of goods sold in the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulted in a negative gross profit margin of $3,162.

 

General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $490,656 compared to $593,164 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. This fluctuation was due to timing differences in certain cash overhead expenses, mostly for payroll, arising from the adoption of a new business strategy focused on commercial opportunities involving the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM MDI technology, supplemented by the assets recently acquired from Razor Jacket.

 

Amortization Expense - Amortization of sublicense fees for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was zero, compared to $25,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was due to the termination of the Sublicense Agreement, effective February 9, 2021, under which the Company was previously obligated to reimburse TMDI in the amount of $200,000 for a license fee owed by TMDI to EM3, covering the first two years of the Sublicense Agreement, as discussed in greater detail above.

 

Depreciation Expense - Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $5,525, compared to $2,418 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase reflects depreciation on the Company’s purchases of property and equipment beginning in September 2020.

 

Other Income (Expense) - Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $658,017, compared to $16,792 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was due to the amortization of the original issue debt discount and other adjustments to interest expense arising from the warrant liability recognized from the issuance of common stock warrants issued in conjunction with a convertible debenture in August 2021. Other income (expense) also includes a gain from the change in valuation of the warrant liability in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of $570,706.

 

Net Loss - Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $583,442, compared to $640,536 in the three months ended September 30, 2020, representing the net amounts of the various revenue and expense categories indicated above. The Company has not recognized any income tax benefits for these net losses due to the uncertainty of their ultimate realization.

Nine months ended September 30, 2021 versus nine months ended September 30, 2020

 

Revenues - The Company commenced limited sales of its inhaler products to customers, while still in a product development mode, on a trial basis in January 2020. However, due to the subsequent impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, as well as other contributing factors, the Company has not sustained a consistent level of sales thus far.  The Company has two different sales channels in trial mode as follows:

 

·Wholesale - designed to capture fairly large, but sporadic, orders received from wholesale customers, often for substantial quantities with relatively high profit margins. 

·Retail - designed to capture a high volume of small orders received from retail customers through an online portal, with significantly lower profit margins. 

 

The revenues from such sales on a trial basis in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $474, compared to $140,055, consisting mostly of two large wholesale orders, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Revenues from sales of the Company’s inhaler products, under both trial sales channels, are expected to gradually increase in the future, once the current trial period ends.

 

Cost of Goods Sold - Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $200 compared to $30,502 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The cost of goods sold reflected the cost of procuring inhalers and related products and supplies for resale. The cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was not relevant due to the very low level of sales in that period, whereas the cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in a gross profit percentage of approximately 78% due to a relatively large portion of sales to two higher profit wholesale customers.

 

General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,519,857, compared to $1,446,914 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This net increase of $72,943 consisted of two components: (i) an increase of $493,777 in cash overhead expenses, mostly for payroll, arising from the adoption of a new business strategy focused on commercial opportunities involving the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM MDI technology supplemented by the assets recently acquired from Razor Jacket; and (ii) a decrease of $420,834 in non-cash stock compensation expenses for restricted stock grants due to a greater amount and value of the initial group of grants made to various consultants in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to only two such grants being made in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Amortization Expense - Amortization of sublicense fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $12,500 compared to $75,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was due to the termination of the Sublicense Agreement, effective February 9, 2021, under which the Company was previously obligated to reimburse TMDI in the amount of $200,000 for a license fee owed by TMDI to EM3, covering the first two years of the Sublicense Agreement, as discussed in greater detail above.

 

Depreciation Expense - Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $16,575, compared to $2,418 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase reflects depreciation on the Company’s purchases of property and equipment beginning in September 2020.

 

Other Income (Expense) - Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $675,124, compared to $103,285 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was due to the amortization of the original issue debt discount and other adjustments to interest expense arising from the warrant liability recognized from the issuance of common stock warrants issued in conjunction with a convertible debenture in August 2021, partially offset by the conversion of certain convertible notes into common stock in August 2020 and March 2021. Other income (expense) also includes a gain from the change in valuation of the warrant liability in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of $570,706.

 

Net Loss - Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,653,076, compared to $1,518,064 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing the net amounts of the various revenue and expense categories indicated above. The Company has not recognized any income tax benefits for these net losses due to the uncertainty of their ultimate realization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating activities.  Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,657,267, compared to $1,138,098 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  This net increase was largely due to the higher level of overhead costs and buildup of working capital levels following the Company’s adoption of a new business strategy in early 2020, as further noted above.

 

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $117,172 compared to $92,979 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was due to the Company’s purchases of property and equipment which began in September 2020.

 

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $2,195,000, compared to $1,372,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulted from $1,650,000 received from the issuance of  an Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture in the original principal amount of $1,941,176, as well as from the private sales of 1,462,500 shares of restricted common stock to several accredited investors at an offering price of $0.40 per share for total proceeds of $585,000, partially offset by the net repayment of various unsecured notes payable in the amount of $40,000. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,372,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to the private sales of 6,040,000 shares of restricted common stock to various accredited investors at offering prices of between $0.05 to $0.25 per share for total proceeds of $1,310,000, plus the receipt of a subscription from another investor in the amount of $90,000 that was later applied to a private offering that closed in October 2020, partially offset by the net repayment of various unsecured notes payable in the amount of $28,000.

 

In order to meet short-term working capital needs, the Company obtained unsecured cash advances from two of its officers (its Chief Executive Officer, Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., and its Senior Vice President) in May through August 2021 in the net amount of $260,000.  Such advances are expected to be repaid out of the proceeds of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities which the Company is currently pursuing. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in achieving a closing of the underwritten public offering.

 

In order to meet our working capital needs in advance of a proposed underwritten offering, which may not be completed timely, if at all, on August 4, 2021, the Company sold an accredited investor an Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture in the original principal amount of $1,941,176 (the “Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase up to 4,852,940 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Investor Warrants”). The Debenture and the Warrants were purchased for an aggregate of $1,650,000 (a 15% discount to the principal amount of the Debenture). The amount owed under the Debenture is due upon the earlier of (a) May 1, 2022, and (b) the date of a Qualified Offering (defined below), unless earlier converted into common stock of the Company, as discussed below. “Qualified Offering” means a single public offering of common stock and/or common stock equivalents which results in the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange (including Nasdaq). The Debenture may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the holder. The Debenture does not accrue interest, except upon the occurrence of an event of default, at which time the amount owed accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum, until paid in full.

 

The amount owed under the Debenture, including amounts owed upon the occurrence of an event of default, may be converted, in whole or part, by the holder, into common stock of the Company, at a conversion price of $0.40 per share (the “Conversion Price”), provided that the outstanding amount of the Debenture automatically converts into common stock of the Company upon the closing of a Qualified Offering, at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price; and (ii) 75% of the offering price of the Qualified Offering. The conversion of the Debenture is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, preventing such conversion by the holder thereof, if such exercise would result in such holder and its affiliates, exceeding ownership of 4.99% of our common stock, which percentage may be increased to up to 9.99%, with at least 61 days prior written notice by the holder thereof.

 

The Investor Warrants, which are evidenced by a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant Agreement”), have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and may be exercised at any time from the grant date of the Investor Warrants until August 3, 2026. The total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants equals 100% of the total initial shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture. The Investor Warrants have cashless exercise rights if when exercised, and following the six-month anniversary of the

closing of the offering, a registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, is not effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The exercise of the Investor Warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, preventing such exercise by the holder thereof, if such exercise would result in such holder and its affiliates, exceeding ownership of 4.99% of our common stock, which percentage may be increased to up to 9.99% with at least 61 days prior written notice by the holder thereof. The Investor Warrants contain anti-dilution rights such that if we issue, or are deemed to have issued, common stock or common stock equivalents at a price less than the then exercise price of the Investor Warrants, subject to certain customary exceptions and the sale of up to $1.5 million in private transactions, the exercise price of the Investor Warrants is automatically reduced to such lower value, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereafter is adjusted proportionately so that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of such Investor Warrants is the same prior to and after such reduction in exercise price. As a result, the effect of the anti-dilution right may cause significant dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Pursuant to a Placement Agent Agreement entered into with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”), who served as placement agent for the offering of the Debenture and Investor Warrants, we agreed to pay the Placement Agent for the offering a cash commission of 8% of the gross proceeds received in the offering ($132,000), and to grant the Placement Agent a warrant to purchase 5% of the total shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture (242,647), with an exercise price equal to the same exercise price as the Investor Warrants ($0.40 per share), which have a term of five years and are in substantially similar form as the Investor Warrants (the “Placement Warrants” and together with the Investor Warrants, the “Offering Warrants”). We agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Warrants under the Securities Act.

 

The Company expects to use the proceeds of the offering to meet its short-term working capital needs in anticipation of closing a qualified listing on a national exchange and raising capital in connection with an underwritten offering, provided no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in uplisting to a national exchange or achieving a closing of the underwritten public offering.

 

Effective August 31, 2020, the Company reached the necessary milestone to trigger the automatic conversion of certain notes payable issued to the holders on various dates in 2018 and 2019, as amended, in the total principal amount of $732,835 into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to a 4.99% ownership limitation for each beneficial owner of such notes. In conjunction with this conversion, holders of notes in the principal amount of $404,601, plus an additional accrued interest amount of $96,536, converted their notes into 10,022,749 shares of common stock.

 

Effective March 31, 2021, the following additional conversions of the Company’s remaining convertible notes payable occurred: (i) the holders of convertible notes payable issued in 2018 at a conversion price of $0.13 per share with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $410,888 converted their notes into a total of 3,160,684 shares of common stock; and (ii) the holders of convertible notes payable amended or issued in 2019 at a conversion price of $0.05 per share with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $383,470, the automatic conversion of which had previously been triggered on August 31, 2020, as discussed above, subject to each holder’s beneficial ownership limitation, converted their notes into a total of 7,669,381 shares of common stock.  As a result of these conversions, a total of 10,830,065 new shares of common stock were issued and the Company’s outstanding debt obligations were substantially reduced.

 

On October 15, 2020, the Company entered into a private stock subscription agreement with an accredited investor whereby the Company agreed to sell the investor 2,640,000 shares of restricted common stock and warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of one year, in exchange for a cash payment to the Company in the amount of $100,000, and the performance of certain other obligations. Based on previous negotiations between the Company and the investor prior to the execution of this agreement, the investor had made a provisional payment of $90,000, which was reflected by the Company as a liability as of September 30, 2020. Upon execution of the agreement, the investor paid the remaining $10,000 to the Company. The resale of the shares held by the purchaser are subject to a lock-up agreement.

 

In November 2020, the Company closed an Asset Purchase and Sales Agreement with Razor Jacket, an Oregon based supplier of isolate and related products, to acquire all of Razor Jacket’s equipment relating to the manufacture of cannabinoid isolates and related products. As previously noted, the Company paid $300,000 in cash at closing, and issued 625,000 shares of restricted common stock to the owners of Razor Jacket, and provided them the right to earn up to 16.5 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, convertible for common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions.

We have not generated a net profit from the limited sales of our inhaler products beginning in early 2020. Until such time that we can generate substantial net profit from operations, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings and we may seek to raise additional capital through strategic collaborations.

 

However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our operations. Failure to receive additional funding could cause us to cease operations, in part or in full. Furthermore, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, which may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated limited revenues and has suffered recurring losses totaling $7,306,616 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.  See “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021, for a further description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Information for this Item is not required as the Registrant is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures

 

We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

As of September 30, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting (as described in Item 9A. of our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2020), which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures, due to the lack of segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report were not effective.


28


Table of contents


The lack of segregation of duties referenced above, as well as certain inaccuracies which were noted in reconciling inventory to the general ledger, represents a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Notwithstanding this weakness, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position and results of operations as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

 

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”), under the heading “Risk Factors”, except as set forth below, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference herein, and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, under “Risk Factors” and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

 

The risk factor entitled “We have a history of operating losses, and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability; we have recently shifted to an entirely new business and may not be successful in this new business.” from the Form 10-K is replaced and superseded by the following:

 

We have a history of operating losses, and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability; we have recently shifted to an entirely new business and may not be successful in this new business.

 

We are not profitable and have incurred an accumulated deficit of $7,306,616 since our inception. Our revenues from sales on a trial basis in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $474 compared to $140,055, consisting mostly of two large wholesale orders, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  Revenues from sales of the Company’s inhaler products, under both trial sales channels, are expected to gradually increase in the future, once the current trial period ends. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and these losses could increase as we continue to work to develop our business. We were previously engaged in pursuing the business of bitcoin mining and digital currency and were not successful in that business. In November 2019, we adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities involving the rapid application of therapeutics using inhaler technology that the Company has licensed for its use. We have yet to commence profitable operations in that business and have generated only minimal revenues in connection with such new business strategy, therefore, the Company is continuing to incur operating losses. We may not generate significant revenues in the future, may not be able to sustain our operations with any revenue we do generate in the future, and even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.

 

The risk factor entitled “We operate in highly regulated industries where the regulatory environments are rapidly developing and we may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business.” from the Form 10-K is replaced and superseded by the following:

 

We operate in highly regulated industries where the regulatory environments are rapidly developing and we may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business.

 

Our business and activities are heavily regulated and are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities (including, in the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and analogous state agencies, including, but not limited to, the Texas Department of State Health Services), relating to, among other things, the manufacture, marketing, management, transportation, storage, sale, pricing and disposal of hemp-based products, and also including laws, regulations and guidelines relating to health and safety, insurance coverage, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment (including relating to emissions


30


Table of contents


and discharges to water, air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes). Our products are not approved by the FDA or under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA), or the state of Texas (or any other state). Our operations may also be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, price controls, export controls, controls on currency remittance, increased income taxes, restrictions on foreign investment and government policies rewarding contracts to local competitors or requiring domestic producers or vendors to purchase supplies from a particular jurisdiction. Laws, regulations and guidelines, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our products and services.

 

Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the production, storage, transportation, sale, import and export, as applicable, of our products. The hemp industry is still a new industry. The effect of relevant governmental authorities’ administration, application and enforcement of their respective regulatory regimes and delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, applicable regulatory approvals which may be required may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, products and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in the U.S., registered federal trademark protection is only available for goods and services that can be lawfully used in interstate commerce; and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is not currently approving any trademark applications for hemp, or certain goods containing U.S. hemp-derived CBD.

 

The regulatory environment for our products is rapidly developing, and the need to build and maintain robust systems to comply with different and changing regulations in multiple jurisdictions increases the possibility that we may violate one or more applicable requirements. While we endeavor to comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines, any failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our operations could subject us to negative consequences, including, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, asset seizures, revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business, the denial of regulatory applications (including, in the U.S., by other regulatory regimes that rely on the positions of the DEA, FDA and USDA in the application of their respective regimes), the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of our key personnel, or the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements, any of which could materially adversely affect our business and financial results. In the United States, failure to comply with FDA and USDA requirements (and analogous state agencies, including the requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services) may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. The outcome of any regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations, audits, and other contingencies could harm our reputation, require us to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm our operations or require us to pay substantial amounts of money, harming our financial condition. Increasingly, communication and coordination among regulators has led in other industries to coordinated responses to regulatory and licensure applications. To the extent that regulators coordinate responses to license applications and regulatory conditions, limitations or denials of licenses in one jurisdiction may lead to denials in other jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that any pending or future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations and audits will not result in substantial costs or a diversion of management’s attention and resources, negatively impact our future growth plans and opportunities or have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

 

The State of Texas legalized the manufacturing, consumption and export of legal hemp products containing CBD under Texas House Bill 1325 signed by Governor Abbott on June 10, 2019, and we were recently granted a Consumable Hemp Product license. While the Company believes that it meets all known requirements of a license for manufacture of legal hemp products, there is no guarantee that the State of Texas will renew the license and/or will not revoke such license, and if either of those events occur, the Company may be forced to move its operations to another state or curtail its operations altogether. The cost of moving its operations and/or penalties or fines in connection with its failure to obtain a license, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and the value of its securities.

 

The following are new risk factors which supplement the risk factors included in the Form 10-K:

 

The propellants we use in our products contain greenhouse gases and may be subject to future restrictions or limitations on use.


31


Table of contents


The propellants we use in our products contain greenhouse gases. The U.S. government, under President Biden, has initiated a renewed push to reduce the use of greenhouse gases, which have been found to have an impact on global climate. In the event the specific propellants we use in our products are restricted, limited, or phased out, or it becomes more expensive for us to obtain such propellants in the future, our expenses may increase and we may be forced to reformulate our products to use different propellants, which may be costly and/or time consuming, or may produce inferior products. Any of the above may cause the value of our securities to decline in value and may have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

 

Each State and other jurisdiction has its own licensing requirements and regulations when it comes to the sale of cannabinoid products.

 

We plan to offer products in states other than Texas, California, Florida and Nevada in the future and in foreign jurisdictions. Each state and foreign jurisdiction has its own licensing requirements and regulations. As such, we will need to comply with various rules and requirements which may not be consistent from one jurisdiction to another. The failure to comply with applicable rules and requirements could result in us being prohibited from offering our products in a jurisdiction, fines, penalties or other liabilities. Furthermore, significant resources will be needed to stay on top of changing regulations and requirements to ensure compliance with changes in laws. In the event we fail to comply with applicable laws it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of our securities.

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

If sequential conversions of the Debenture and sales of such converted shares, or exercises of the Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants, and sales of such exercised shares, take place, the price of our common stock may decline. In the future, the shares of common stock which the Debenture is convertible into and the Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants are exercisable for, may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144. As a result, the sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock. To the extent the shares of common stock underlying the Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, the holders of such Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants will have ‘cashless exercise’ rights.

 

In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and/or exercise of the Offering Warrants and Placement Warrants, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease. If the Offering Warrants and/or Placement Warrants are exercised on a ‘cashless’ basis we will not receive any cash upon such exercise.

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Debenture and upon exercise of the Offering Warrants will cause immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Debenture and upon exercise of the Offering Warrants will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the holders of the Debenture and Offering Warrants may ultimately receive and sell the full number of shares issuable in connection with the conversion and exercise of such securities. Although the Debenture may not be converted and Offering Warrants may not be exercised if such conversion/exercise would cause the holders thereof to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock (which percentage may be increased to 9.99% with 61 days prior written notice), this restriction does not prevent the holders subject to such restrictions from converting/exercising some of their holdings, selling those shares, and then converting the rest of its holdings, while still staying below the 4.99%/9.99% limit. In this way, the holders of the Debenture and Offering Warrants could sell more than any applicable ownership limit while never actually holding more shares than the applicable limits allow. If the holders of the Debenture and Offering Warrants choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock.

 

We currently owe a significant amount of money under our outstanding Debenture.


32


Table of contents


As of the date of this filing we owe approximately $1,941,176  under the Debenture. We do not have sufficient funds to repay such Debenture and if we are unable to raise additional funds in the future to repay such amount, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, or such amount does not convert into shares of common stock upon the closing of a future uplisting of our common stock, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and cause any investment in the Company to decline in value or become worthless.

 

Certain warrants we have granted include anti-dilutive rights

 

Warrants to purchase 5,095,587 shares of common stock which we granted in August 2021 which have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, have anti-dilution rights. Specifically, if we issue, or are deemed to have issued, common stock or common stock equivalents at a price less than the then exercise price of the warrants, subject to certain customary exceptions and the sale of up to $1.5 million in private transactions, the exercise price of the warrants is automatically reduced to such lower value, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereafter is adjusted proportionately so that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of such warrants is the same prior to and after such reduction in exercise price. As a result, the effect of the anti-dilution right may cause significant dilution to existing shareholders. The warrants are exercisable until August 2026.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

There have been no sales of unregistered securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or from October 1, 2021, through the date of this Report, which have not previously been disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, or in a Current Report on Form 8-K, except for:

 

On July 6, 2021, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to two consultants as compensation for services.

 

The transaction described above was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the securities for investment and not resale, we took take appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipient was an “accredited investor” and/or had information about the Company similar to what is included in a registration statement under the Securities Act. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

[Complete the amount of the first Base Rent payment to be due, as well as estimated amounts of any other monthly payments that start at the beginning of the Term of this Lease. Put NIA or strike through the rest. Any estimated amounts are subject to adjustment pursuant to other provisions of this Lease. If any expense payments are not due at the beginning of the Term, they may begin later in the Term pursuant to other provisions of this Lease.]

 

F.Expense Reimbursement Payments. Tenant agrees to pay any end-of-year lump sum Expense Reimbursement within 30 days after receiving an invoice from Landlord. Any time during the Term, Landlord may direct Tenant to pay monthly an estimated portion of the projected future Expense Reimbursement amount. Any such payment directed by Landlord will be due and payable monthly on the same day that the Base Rent is due. Landlord may, at Landlord's option and to the extent allowed by applicable law, impose a Late Charge on any Expense Reimbursement payments that are not actually received by Landlord on or before the due date, in the amount and manner set forth in Section 3.03 of this Lease. Any Expense Reimbursements relating to partial calendar years will be prorated accordingly. If Tenant's Pro Rata Share is not expressed in Section 1.04.E of this Lease, then Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such Expense Reimbursements will be based on the square footage of useable area contained in the Premises in proportion to the square footage of useable building area of the Property. Tenant may audit or examine those items of expense in Landlord's records that relate to Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any overpayment that is established by an audit or examination. If the audit or examination reveals an error of more than 5% over the figures billed to Tenant, Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of the audit or examination. 

 

G. Gross-Up Provisions. [Check this only if applicable.] If the Property is a multi-tenant building and is not fully occupied during the Base Year or any portion of the Term, an adjustment will be made in computing the variable costs for the Base Year and each applicable calendar year of the Term. Variable costs will include only those items of expense that vary directly proportionately to the occupancy of the Property. Variable costs that are included in the CAM Expenses, Operating Expenses and Utilities will be increased proportionately to the amounts that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would have been incurred had 95% of the useable area of the Property been occupied during those years.

LEASE AND TERM

 

2.01Lease of Premises for Term. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord for the Term stated in Section 1.05. The Commencement Date is the date specified in Section 1.05, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease. 

 

2.02Delays in Commencement. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.05 above. Landlord's non-delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date will not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. However, the Commencement Date will be delayed until possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant. The Term will be extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, plus the number of days necessary for the Term to expire on the last day of a month. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within 60 days after the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.05. Tenant may cancel this Lease by giving a written notice to Landlord at any time after the 60-day period ends, but before Landlord actually delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. If Tenant gives such notice, this Lease will be canceled effective as of the date of its execution, any prepaid amounts will be reimbursed to Tenant, and no party will have any rights or obligations under this Lease. If Tenant does not give such notice within the time specified, Tenant will have no right to cancel this Lease, and the Term will commence upon the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. If delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the revised Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Term. 

 

2.03Early Occupancy. If Tenant occupies the Premises before the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises will be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Premises will not advance the Expiration Date. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other charges specified in this Lease for the period of occupancy. 

 

2.04Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the Premises. If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises will be a day-to-day tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the Base Rent during the holdover period will be increased to an amount that is one-and-one-half (1½) times the Base Rent in effect on the expiration or termination of this Lease, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period, plus all additional sums due under this Lease. This Section will not be construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over or to extend this Lease. 


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 8


 

ARTICLE THREE

 

RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

3.01Manner of Payment. Tenant shall pay the Rent to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 1.02, unless another person is designated in Section 1.11, or to any other party or address Landlord may designate in any written notice delivered to Tenant. Landlord may designate, in a written notice delivered to Tenant, the party authorized to receive Rent and act on behalf of Landlord to enforce this Lease. Any such authorization will remain in effect until it is revoked by Landlord in a subsequent written notice delivered to Tenant. Any payments made to a third party designated by Landlord will be deemed made to Landlord when received by the designated third party. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as Rent, will constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all other purposes. 

 

3.02Time of Payment. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the installment of Base Rent for the first month of the Term for which Base Rent is due (which may be later than the first month of the Term, if there is a free rent period). On or before the first day of the next month and each month thereafter, the installment of Base Rent and other sums due under this Lease will be due and payable, in advance, without off-set, deduction or prior demand. Tenant shall cause payments to be properly mailed or otherwise delivered so as to be actually received (and not merely deposited in the mail) by Landlord (or the party identified in Section 1 11, or any other third party designated by Landlord) on or before the due date. If the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the rent for any partial calendar month following the Commencement Date or preceding the end of the Term will be prorated. Tenant shall pay any such prorated portion for a partial calendar month at the beginning of the Term on the Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay any such prorated portion for a partial calendar month at the end of the Term on the first day of that calendar month. 

 

3.03Late Charges. Tenant's failure to promptly pay sums due under this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of those costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. The costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease or deed of trust encumbering the Premises. Payments due to Landlord under this Lease are not an extension of credit. Therefore, if any payment under this Lease is not actually received on or before the due date (and not merely deposited in the mail), Landlord may, at Landlord's option and to the extent allowed by applicable law, impose a Late Charge on any late payments in an amount equal to 10% of the amount of the past due payment (the "Late Charge") after the payment is more than five days past due. A Late Charge may be imposed only once on each past due payment. Any Late Charge will be in addition to Landlord's other remedies for nonpayment of Rent. If any check tendered by Tenant under this Lease is dishonored for any reason, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a dishonored check fee of $30.00, plus (at Landlord's option) a Late Charge as provided above until Good Funds (defined below) are received by Landlord. The parties agree that any Late Charge and dishonored check fee represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment or dishonored check. If there are any Late Charges, dishonored check fees, installments of Base Rent, and any other unpaid charges or reimbursements due to Landlord, then Landlord may apply any payments received from Tenant to any amounts due in any order Landlord may choose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not impose a Late Charge as to the first late payment in any calendar year, unless Tenant fails to pay the late payment to Landlord within three business days after the delivery of a written notice from Landlord to Tenant demanding the late payment be paid. However, Landlord may impose a Late Charge without advance notice to Tenant on any subsequent late payment in the same calendar year. 

 

3.04Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease, in addition to the installment of Base Rent due under Section 3.02 and in addition to any other amounts that are due from Tenant upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount stated in Section 1.08. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent, and damages and charges for which Tenant is legally liable under this Lease, and damages and charges that result from a breach of this Lease, including but not limited to, the cost to cure Tenant's failure to comply with Section 7.05 and any other provision that requires Tenant to leave the Premises in a certain condition upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within 10 days after Landlord's written demand. Tenant's failure to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit within the time specified will be a default under this Lease.  


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 9


No interest will be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts, and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. After the expiration of this Lease, Landlord shall refund the unused portion of the Security Deposit, if any, to Tenant within 60 days after the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises and provides a written notice to Landlord of Tenant's forwarding address for the purpose of refunding the Security Deposit. The provisions of this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

3.05Good Funds Payments. If any two or more payments by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent are dishonored and returned unpaid, thereafter Landlord may, at Landlord's option, by the delivery of a written notice to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent for the remaining Term of this Lease must be made by cash, certified check, cashier's check, official bank check, money order, wire transfer or automatic electronic funds transfer ("Good Funds"), and that the delivery of Tenant's personal or corporate check will no longer constitute payment of Rent under this Lease. Any acceptance by Landlord of a payment for Rent by Tenant's personal or corporate check thereafter will not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to insist upon payment by Good Funds as set forth in this Section. 

 

ARTICLE FOUR

 

TAXES

 

4.01Payment by Landlord. Landlord shall pay the real estate taxes on the Premises during the Term, subject to reimbursement by Tenant pursuant to any other provision in this Lease. 

 

4.02Improvements by Tenant. If the real estate taxes levied against the Premises for the year in which the Term commences are increased as a result of any additions or improvements made by Tenant, or by Landlord at Tenant's request, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of the increase and continue to pay the increase during the Term. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the tax assessor a written statement of the amount of the increase due to such additions or improvements. 

 

4.03Joint Assessment. If the real estate taxes are assessed against the Premises jointly with other property that is not part of the Premises, the real estate taxes applicable to the Premises will be equal to the amount bearing the same proportion to the aggregate assessment that the total square feet of building area in the Premises bears to the total square feet of building area included in the joint assessment. If there are no improvements on the Property or the other property, then land area will be used instead of building area for the calculation of the proportional assessment. If there are improvements on one of the jointly assessed properties but not on the other property, then the calculation of the proportional assessment must be done in a reasonable manner. 

 

4.04Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory, products, or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to have Tenant's property taxed separately from the Premises. If any of Tenant's property is taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay the taxes for Tenant's property to Landlord within 15 days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for the property taxes. 

 

4.05Waiver of Right to Protest Taxes. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease: (i) Landlord retains the right to protest the tax assessment of the Property, and Tenant waives the right to protest; and (ii) Tenant waives Landlord's obligation to provide Tenant with a notice of the tax valuation of the Property. 

 

ARTICLE FIVE

 

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

 

5.01Property Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall maintain insurance policies covering damage to the Premises in an amount or percentage of replacement value as Landlord deems reasonable in relation to the age, location, type of construction and physical condition of the Premises and the availability of insurance at reasonable rates. The policies will provide protection against risks and causes of loss that Landlord reasonably deems necessary. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, obtain insurance coverage for Tenant's fixtures, equipment and improvements in or on the Premises. Promptly after the receipt of a written request from Tenant, Landlord shall provide a certificate of insurance showing the insurance coverage then in  


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 10


effect. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and maintain insurance on Tenant's fixtures, equipment and improvements in or on the Premises as Tenant reasonably deems necessary to protect Tenant's interest. Any property insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant will be for the sole benefit of the party carrying the insurance and under its sole control.

 

5.02Increases in Premiums. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any operation or activity, or store or use any materials, in or around the Premises that would cause suspension or cancellation of any insurance policy carried by Landlord. If Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises causes Landlord's insurance premiums to increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional Rent, the amount of the increase within 10 days after Landlord delivers written evidence of the increase to Tenant. 

 

5.03Liability Insurance. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy, at Tenant's expense, insuring Tenant against liability arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises, and naming Landlord as an additional insured. The initial amounts of the insurance must be at least $1,000,000 or, if the following blank is completed $____________________ for Each Occurrence, $2,000,000 or, if the following blank is completed $_______________________ General Aggregate per policy year, and $10,000 for Medical Expense. If Tenant's liability insurance coverage is less than $5,000,000, and if this box is checked, then Tenant must also maintain a commercial liability umbrella policy in amount to provide a combination of liability insurance coverage to equal a $5,000,000 total limit. The coverage amounts will be subject to periodic increases as Landlord may reasonably determine from time to time. The amounts of the insurance will not limit Tenant's liability or relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease. The policies must contain cross-liability endorsements and must insure Tenant's performance of the indemnity provisions of Section 5 04. The policies must contain a provision that prohibits cancellation or modification of the policy except upon 30 days' prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy or certificate of insurance to Landlord before the Commencement Date and before the expiration of the policy during the Term. If Tenant fails to maintain the policy, Landlord may elect to maintain the insurance at Tenant's expense. 

 

5.04Indemnity. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant's employees, agents, invitees or visitors, or to any other person, for any injury to persons or damage to property on or about the Premises or any adjacent area owned by Landlord caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, Tenant's employees, subtenants, agents, licensees or concessionaires or any other person entering the Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant, or arising out of the use of the Premises by Tenant and the conduct of Tenant's business, or arising out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, expense or claims arising out of such damage or injury. Tenant will not be liable for any injury or damage caused by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord's employees or agents, and Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any loss, expense or damage arising out of such damage or injury. 

 

5.05Waiver of Subrogation. Each party to this Lease waives any and every claim that arises or may arise in its favor against the other party during the Term of this Lease for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the Premises, to the extent the loss or damage is covered by and recoverable under valid and collectible insurance policies. These mutual waivers are in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss of, or damage to, property of the parties. Inasmuch as these mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any such claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company (or any other person), each party agrees to immediately give to each insurance company that has issued an insurance policy to such party written notice of the terms of such mutual waivers, and to cause the policies to be endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of these waivers.

USE OF PREMISES

 

6.01Permitted Use. Tenant may use the Premises only for the Permitted Use stated in Section 1,10. Tenant acknowledges that: (i) the current use of the Premises or the improvements located on the Premises, or both, may not conform to city ordinances or restrictive covenants with respect to the permitted use, zoning, height limitations, setback requirements, minimum parking requirements, coverage ratio of improvements to land area, and other matters that may have a significant impact upon the Tenant's intended use of the Premises; (ii) Tenant has independently investigated and verified to Tenant's satisfaction the extent of any limitations or non-conforming uses of the Premises; and (iii) Tenant is not relying upon any representations of Landlord or the Brokers with respect to any such matters. 

 

6.02Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the Premises, and will promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances and other activities in or upon, or connected with the Premises, all at Tenant's sole expense, including any expense or cost resulting from the construction or installation of fixtures and improvements or other accommodations for handicapped or disabled persons required for compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Texas Architectural Barriers Act (the “TABA") and the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). To the extent any alterations to the Premises are required by the TABA, the ADA or other applicable laws or regulations, Tenant shall bear the expense of the alterations. To the extent any alterations to areas of the Property outside the Premises are required by the TABA, the ADA or other applicable laws or regulations (for "path of travel" requirements or otherwise), Landlord shall bear the expense of the alterations. 

 

6.03Certificate of Occupancy. If required, Tenant shall apply for Certificate of Occupancy from the municipality in which the Property is located before the Commencement Date, and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy before Tenant occupies the Premises. If Tenant is unable to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy after making an application and diligently pursuing it, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering a written notice to Landlord, unless either Landlord or Tenant is willing and able to cure the defects that prevented the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. Either Landlord or Tenant may cure any such defects, at their own expense, including any repairs, replacements, or installations of any items that are not presently existing on the Premises, but neither of them have any obligation to do so (unless another provision of this Lease states otherwise). If Tenant delivers a written termination notice to Landlord under this Section, and then any defects are cured and a Certificate of Occupancy is issued within 15 days after Tenant delivered the notice, then this Lease will remain in force. If this Lease is terminated because Landlord and Tenant cannot get a Certificate of Occupancy, then Landlord will return to Tenant any prepaid rent and any Security Deposit, and the parties will have no further obligations under this Lease. References in this Lease to a "Certificate of Occupancy" mean a Certificate of Occupancy sufficient to allow the Tenant to occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use. 

 

6.04Signs. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant may not place any signs, ornaments or other objects on the Premises or the Property, including but not limited to the roof or exterior of the building or other improvements on the Property, or paint or otherwise decorate or deface the exterior of the building or other improvements on the Property. Any signs installed by Tenant must conform to applicable laws, deed restrictions, and other applicable requirements. Tenant must remove all signs, decorations and ornaments at the expiration or termination of this Lease, and must repair any damage and close any holes caused by installation or removal. 

 

6.05Utility Services. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay the cost of all Utilities used for the Premises, and the cost of replacing light bulbs and tubes. Unless otherwise required by law, Landlord is the party entitled to designate utility and telecommunication service providers to the Property and the Premises. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, allow Tenant to select the provider. If Tenant selects the provider, any access or alterations to the Property or the Premises necessary for the Utilities may be made only with Landlord's prior consent, which Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay. If Landlord incurs any utility or connection charges that Tenant is responsible to pay and Landlord pays the charges, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating the amount of the charges. 


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 12


 

6.06Landlord's Access. Landlord and Landlord's agents will have the right to, upon reasonable advance notice, and without unreasonably interfering with Tenant's business, enter the Premises: (a) to inspect the general condition and state of repair of the Premises, (b) to make repairs required or permitted under this Lease, (c) to show the Premises or the Property to any prospective tenant or purchaser, and (d) for any other reasonable purpose. If Tenant changes the locks on the Premises, Tenant must provide Landlord with a copy of each separate key upon Landlord's request. During the last 150 days of the Term, Landlord and Landlord's agents may erect signs on or about the Premises advertising the Premises for lease or for sale. 

 

6.07Possession. If Tenant pays the Rent, properly maintains the Premises, and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Premises for the full Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease. 

 

6.08Exemptions from Liability. Landlord will not be liable for any damage to the business (including any loss of income), goods, inventory, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, merchandise or other property of Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees or customers, or for any injury to Tenant or Tenant's employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Premises, whether the damage or injury is caused by or results from: (a) fire, steam, electricity, water, gas or wind; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising on or about the Premises or other portions of the Property, or from other sources or places; or (d) any act or omission of any other occupant of the Property. The provisions of this Section will not, however, exempt Landlord from liability for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

PROPERTY CONDITION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

 

7.01Property Condition. Except as disclosed in writing by Landlord to Tenant before the execution of this Lease, to the best of Landlord's actual knowledge: (i) the Premises have no known latent structural or construction defects of a material nature; and (ii) none of the improvements to the Premises have been constructed with materials known to be a potential health hazard to occupants of the Premises. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord represents that on the Commencement Date (and for a period of 30 days thereafter): (a) the fixtures and equipment serving the Premises are in good operating condition, including the plumbing, electrical and lighting systems, any fire protection sprinkler system, the HVAC (defined below) systems and equipment, the roof, skylights, doors, overhead doors, windows, dock levelers and elevators; and (b) the interior of the Premises is in good condition.

Within a reasonable period of time after the timely receipt of any such written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, correct the defects and perform the maintenance, repairs and replacements. 

 

7.02Acceptance of Premises. Tenant has inspected, or has had an opportunity to inspect, the Premises, before the execution of this Lease. Tenant has determined that the Premises may be used for the Permitted Use. Subject to the provisions in Section 7 01, and any other express obligations of Landlord in this Lease to construct any improvements, make repairs, or correct defects, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in "AS IS" condition and with all faults (other than latent defects). To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant waives any implied warranties of Landlord as to the quality or condition of the Premises or the Property, or as to the fitness or suitability of the Premises or the Property for any particular use. 

 

7.03Maintenance and Repairs. Landlord will not be required to perform any maintenance or repairs, or management services, in the Premises, except as otherwise provided in this Lease.

COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 13


 

 

A.Landlord's Obligations. 

 

(1) Subject to the provisions of Article Eight (Damage or Destruction) and Article Nine (Condemnation) and except for damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant, Landlord shall keep the roof, skylights, foundation, structural components and the structural portions of exterior walls of the Premises in good order, condition and repair. Landlord will not be obligated to maintain or repair windows, doors, overhead doors, plate glass or the surfaces of walls. In addition, Landlord will not be obligated to make any repairs under this Section until a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for repairs. If any repairs are required to be made by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, promptly remove Tenant's furnishings, fixtures, inventory, equipment and other property, to the extent required to enable Landlord to make repairs. Landlord's liability under this Section will be limited to the cost of those repairs or corrections. Tenant waives the benefit of any present or future law that might give Tenant the right to repair the Premises at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease because of the condition.

 

(2)                       All repairs, maintenance, management and other services to be performed by Landlord or Landlord's agents involve the exercise of professional judgment by service providers, and Tenant expressly waives any claims against Landlord for breach of warranty arising from the performance of those services. 

 

B.Tenant's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7,01, Section 7,03A, Article Eight (Damage or Destruction) and Article Nine (Condemnation), Tenant shall, at all times, keep all other portions of the Premises in good order, condition and repair (except for normal wear and tear), including, but not limited to, maintenance, repairs and all necessary replacements of the windows, plate glass, doors, overhead doors, HVAC equipment, electrical and lighting systems, fire protection sprinkler system, dock levelers, elevators, interior and exterior plumbing, the interior and exterior of the Premises in general, pest control and extermination, down spouts, gutters, paving, railroad siding, care of landscaping and regular mowing of grass. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, repair any damage to any portion of the Property, including the roof, skylights, foundation, or structural components and exterior walls of the Premises, caused by Tenant's acts or omissions. If Tenant fails to maintain and repair the Property as required by this Section, Landlord may, on 10 days' prior written notice, enter the Premises and perform the maintenance or repair on behalf of Tenant, except that no notice is required in case of emergency, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for all costs incurred in performing the maintenance or repair, plus a reasonable service charge. 

 

C.HVAC Service. This Section pertains to the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning ("HVAC") systems and equipment that service the Premises. [Check one box only.] 

 

(1) Landlord is obligated to provide the HVAC services to the Premises only during the operating hours of the Property (as described below). 

 

(2) Landlord will provide the HVAC services to the Premises during the operating hours of the Property (as described below) for no additional charge and will, at Tenant's request, provide HVAC services to the Premises during other hours for an additional charge of $_______________ per hour. Tenant will pay Landlord the charges under this paragraph promptly after receipt of Landlord's invoice. Hourly charges are charged on a half-hour basis. Any partial hour will be rounded up to the next half hour. Tenant will comply with Landlord's procedures to make a request to provide the additional HVAC services in advance. 

 

(3) Tenant will pay for the HVAC services under this Lease. For any HVAC system that services only the Premises, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, enter into a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance and service contract for all such HVAC systems and equipment during the Term. If Tenant fails to enter into such a service contract acceptable to Landlord, Landlord may do so on Tenant's behalf and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the cost and expense thereof, plus a reasonable service charge, periodically upon demand. 


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 14


 

 

D.Operating Hours of the Property. The operating hours of the Property are the times reasonably determined by Landlord unless they are specified here. [specify the operating hours of the Property including the days of the week, and whether Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are included]: N/A Tenant shall have 24 hour access 

 

E.Cleaning. Tenant must keep the Premises clean and sanitary and promptly dispose of all trash in appropriate receptacles. Tenant will provide, at Tenant's expense, janitorial services to the Premises, unless this box is checked, in which case Landlord will provide janitorial services to the Premises that are customary for the property type. Tenant will maintain, at Tenant's expense, any grease trap on the Property that Tenant uses, including but not limited to periodic emptying and cleaning, as well as making any modification to the grease trap that may be necessary to comply with any applicable law. 

 

7.04Alterations, Additions and Improvements. Tenant may not create any openings in the roof or exterior walls without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant may not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises ("Alterations") without the prior written consent of Landlord. However, Tenant is not required to obtain the Landlord's prior written consent for non-structural Alterations that do not cost more than $5,000 and that do not modify or affect the roof, plumbing, HVAC systems or electrical systems. Consent for non-structural Alterations in excess of $5,000 or that modify or affect plumbing, HVAC systems or electrical systems will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Tenant may erect or install trade fixtures, shelves, bins, machinery, HVAC systems, and refrigeration equipment, provided that Tenant complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant may, subject to the restrictions of Section 7.05, remove items installed by Tenant, provided Tenant is not in default at the time of the removal and Tenant repairs, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damage caused by the installation or removal. Tenant shall pay for all costs incurred or arising out of Alterations and will not permit any mechanic's or materialman's lien to be filed against the Premises or the Property. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord proof of payment, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, of all costs incurred in connection with any Alterations. 

 

7.05Condition upon Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in the same condition as received, except for normal wear and tear and any damage caused by a casualty that Tenant is not otherwise obligated to repair under any provision of this Lease. Tenant will not be obligated to repair any damage that Landlord is required to repair under Article Seven (Property Condition) or Article Eight (Damage or Destruction). In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any Alterations before the expiration or termination of this Lease and to restore the Premises to their prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. However, Tenant will not be required to remove any Alterations that were made with Landlord's consent or that were otherwise permitted under the terms of this Lease. All Alterations that Tenant does not remove will become Landlord's property upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. In no event may Tenant remove any of the following items without Landlord's prior written consent: (i) electrical wiring or power panels; (ii) lighting or lighting fixtures; (iii) wall coverings, drapes, blinds or other window coverings; (iv) carpets or other floor coverings; (v) HVAC equipment; (vi) plumbing equipment; (vii) fencing or gates; or (viii) any fixtures, equipment or other items that, if removed, would affect the operation or the appearance of the Property. However, Tenant may remove Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment used in Tenant's business, and personal property. The provisions of this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE EIGHT

 

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

 

8.01Notice. If any buildings or other improvements situated on the Property are damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm, tornado or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately give written notice of the damage or destruction to Landlord. 

 

8.02Partial Damage. If the Premises are damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty, and rebuilding and repairs can be completed within 120 days after the date Landlord receives written notification from Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, then this Lease will not terminate, but Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Premises) to substantially the condition they were in before the damage. To the extent the Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) after the casualty, the Rent payable under this Lease during the period the Premises cannot be fully occupied will be adjusted equitably. 

 

If the casualty occurs during the last 18 months of the Term, Landlord will not be required to rebuild or repair the damage unless Tenant exercises Tenant's renewal option (if any) within 15 days after the date Landlord receives written notification of the occurrence of the damage. If the casualty occurs during the last 18 months of the Term and Tenant does not so exercise Tenant's renewal option, or if there is no renewal option in this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant, in which case the Rent will be abated for the unexpired portion of the Term, effective on the date Landlord received written notification of the damage.

 

8.03Substantial or Total Destruction. If the Premises are substantially or totally destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty, or so damaged that rebuilding and repairs cannot reasonably be completed within 120 days after the date Landlord receives written notification from Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by promptly delivering a written termination notice to the other party, in which event the monthly installments of Rent will be abated for the unexpired portion of the Term, effective on the date of the damage or destruction. If neither party promptly terminates this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises (except that Tenant shall rebuild and repair Tenant's fixtures and improvements in the Premises). To the extent the Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) after the casualty, the Rent payable under this Lease during the period the Premises cannot be fully occupied will be adjusted equitably. 

 

ARTICLE NINE

 

CONDEMNATION

 

If, during the Term, all or a substantial part of the Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain, or are conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, this Lease will terminate and the monthly installments of Rent will be abated during the unexpired portion of the Term, effective on the date of the taking. If less than a substantial part of the Premises is taken for public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or is conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, Landlord shall promptly, at Landlord's expense, restore and reconstruct the Premises (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Premises) in order to make the Premises reasonably suitable for the Permitted Use. The Rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the Term will be adjusted equitably. If there is a taking of the Property that has a material, adverse effect on the operation of Tenant's business in the Premises, then the Rent will be adjusted equitably. Landlord and Tenant will each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceeding. The termination of this Lease will not affect the rights of the parties to those awards.


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 16


 

 

ARTICLE TEN

 

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any assignment or subletting will be expressly subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of Section 6.01 pertaining to the use of the Premises. In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant will remain fully liable for the full performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant may not assign Tenant's rights under this Lease or sublet the Premises without first obtaining a written agreement from the assignee or sublessee whereby the assignee or sublessee agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and to be bound by the terms of this Lease. If a Default occurs while the Premises is assigned or sublet, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under the terms of the assignment or subletting and apply the rents against any sums due to Landlord under this Lease. No direct collection by Landlord from any assignee or subtenant will release Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE ELEVEN

 

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

11.01Default. Each of the following events is a default under this Lease (a "Default"): 

 

A.Failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent or other sum payable to Landlord under this Lease on the date that it is due, and the continuance of that failure for a period of five days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant. This clause will not be construed to permit or allow a delay in paying Rent beyond the due date and will not affect Landlord's right to impose a Late Charge as permitted in Section 3.03; 

 

B.Failure of Tenant to comply with any term, condition or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of Rent or other sum of money, and the continuance of that failure for a period of 30 days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant; 

 

C.Failure of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease to pay its debts as they become due or an admission in writing of inability to pay its debts, or the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; 

 

D.The commencement by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease of any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property; 

 

E.The commencement of any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and Tenant or any guarantor: (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such case, proceeding, or other action within 60 days of its commencement; or (ii) converts the case from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another chapter; or (iii) is the subject of an order of relief that is not fully stayed within seven business days after the entry thereof; and 

 

F.Vacancy or abandonment by Tenant of any substantial portion of the Premises or cessation of the use of the Premises for the purpose leased, and the continuance of that vacancy, abandonment or cessation for a period of 30 days after Landlord delivers a written notice to Tenant. 


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 17


11.02Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default listed in Section 11.01, Landlord may pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any prior notice or demand. 

 

A.Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have for possession of the Premises or Rent in arrears, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for any claim for damages due to the termination of this Lease or termination of possession. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all Rent and loss and damage Landlord may suffer by reason of the termination or inability to relet the Premises up to the date of termination, in addition to any other liabilities that survive the termination of this Lease. 

 

B.Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any claim for damages due to termination of possession, and expel Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof. Landlord may relet the Premises and receive rent from the new occupant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord monthly, or on demand from time to time, any deficiency that may arise by reason of any such reletting. In determining the amount of the deficiency, professional service fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, remodeling expenses and other costs of reletting will be subtracted from the amount of rent received from the new occupant. 

 

C.Landlord may enter upon the Premises, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any claim for damages due to such entry, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand for expenses that Landlord incurs in performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease, together with interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum from the date spent until paid. 

 

D.Landlord may sue Tenant for damages for breach of this Lease after Tenant's Default and abandonment of the Premises, or after Landlord terminates Tenant's possession and Tenant vacates the Premises, in which case the measure of damages is the sum of: (i) the unpaid Rent up to the date of the abandonment or vacancy, plus (ii) the difference between the Rent for the remainder of the Term after abandonment or vacancy, and the fair market rental value of this Lease for the remainder of the Term after abandonment or vacancy, such difference to be discounted to present value at a rate equal to the rate of interest that is allowed by law in the State of Texas when the parties to a contract have not agreed on any particular rate of interest (or, in the absence of such law, at the rate of 6% per annum). Neither the enforcement or collection by Landlord of those amounts nor the payment by Tenant of those amounts will constitute a waiver by Landlord of any breach, existing or in the future, of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease by Tenant or a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Landlord may have with respect to any breach. 

 

E.In addition to the foregoing remedies, Landlord may change or modify the locks on the Premises if Tenant fails to pay the Rent when due. Landlord will not be obligated to provide another key to Tenant or allow Tenant to regain entry to the Premises unless and until Tenant pays Landlord all Rent that is delinquent. Tenant agrees that Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from the lockout. When Landlord changes or modifies the locks, Landlord or Landlord's agent shall post a written notice in accordance with Section of the Texas Property Code, or its successor statute. Tenant may be subject to legal liability if Tenant or Tenant's representative tampers with any lock after the locks have been changed or modified. 

 

F.No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord will be construed as an election to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of that intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any re-entry, taking possession or reletting, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for a previous Default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies will not preclude pursuit of any other remedies provided by lawl nor will pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the provisions in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to declare any Default immediately upon its occurrence1   or failure to enforce one or more of Landlord's remedies, or forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of  


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 18


Landlord's remedies upon a Default, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of Landlord's remedies for any Default. Pursuit of any one of the remedies will not preclude pursuit by Landlord of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease. The loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of a Default by Tenant under this Lease, or the deficiency from any reletting, will include the expense of taking possession and any repairs performed by Landlord after a Default by Tenant. If Landlord terminates this Lease at any time for any Default, in addition to other Landlord's remedies, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of the Default, including the cost of recovering the Premises and the Rent then remaining unpaid.

 

G.Nothing in this Lease will be construed as imposing any duty upon Landlord to relet the Premises. Landlord will have no duty to mitigate Landlord's damages except as required by applicable law. Any duty imposed by law on Landlord to mitigate damages after a Default by Tenant will be satisfied if Landlord undertakes to lease the Premises to another tenant (a "Substitute Tenant") in accordance with the following criteria: 

 

(1) Landlord will have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises until Landlord obtains full possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant;

 

(2) Landlord will not be obligated to lease or show the Premises on a priority basis, or offer the Premises to a prospective tenant when other space in the Property suitable for the prospective tenant's use is (or soon will be) available;

 

(3) Landlord will not be obligated to lease the Premises to a Substitute Tenant for an amount less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar uses in comparable buildings in the same market area as the Property, nor will Landlord be obligated to enter into a new lease under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord's then current leasing policies for comparable space in the Property;

 

(4)                      Landlord will not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant whose use would: 

 

(i) violate any restriction, covenant, or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Property;

 

(ii) adversely affect the reputation of the Property; or

 

(iii) be incompatible with other uses of the Property.

 

(5) Landlord will not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant that does not have, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources to pay the Rent under the new lease and operate the Premises in a first class manner; and

 

(6) Landlord will not be required to spend any amount of money to alter, remodel, or otherwise make the Premises suitable for use by a proposed Substitute Tenant unless:

 

(i) Tenant pays any such sum to Landlord in advance of Landlord's execution of a lease with the Substitute Tenant (which payment will not be in lieu of any damages or other sums to which Landlord may be entitled as a result of Tenant's Default under this Lease); or


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 19


 

 

(ii) Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, determines that any such expenditure is financially justified in connection with entering into a lease with the Substitute Tenant.

 

H.No right or remedy of Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy will be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy now or hereafter existing under this Lease, at law, in equity or by statute. Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from any right or remedy exercised by Landlord, regardless of the cause, even if it is caused by the sole, joint or concurrent negligence of Landlord. 

 

11.03Notice of Default. Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by Landlord to perform any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of trust encumbering the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or the ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure the nonperformance within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice. However, if the nonperformance reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, Landlord will not be in default if the cure is commenced within the 30-day period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion. 

 

11.04Limitation of Landlord's Liability. As used in this Lease, the term "Landlord" means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Premises, or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Premises, at the time in question.

Any Landlord who transfers its title, estate or other interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing on or after the date of the transfer, and Tenant agrees to recognize the transferee as Landlord under this Lease. However, each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee the Security Deposit held by Landlord, to the extent the Security Deposit has not then been applied under the terms of this Lease.

LANDLORD'S CONTRACTUAL LIEN

 

In addition to the statutory Landlord's lien, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest to secure payment of all Rent and other sums of money becoming due under this Lease from Tenant, upon all inventory, goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and all other personal property of Tenant situated in or on the Premises, together with the proceeds from the sale thereof. Tenant may not remove such property without the consent of Landlord until all Rent in arrears and other sums then due to Landlord under this Lease have been paid. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, enter upon the Premises and take possession of any and all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of Tenant situated in or on the Premises without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the property at public or private sales, with or without having the property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place of any such sale. Unless otherwise required by law, notice to Tenant of the sale will be deemed sufficient if given in the manner prescribed in this Lease at least 10 days before the time of the sale. Any public sale made under this Article will be deemed to have been conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held on the Premises or where the property is located, after the time, place and method of sale and a general description of the types of property to be sold have been advertised in a daily newspaper published in the county where the Premises is located for five consecutive days before the date of the sale. Landlord or its assigns may purchase at a public sale and, unless prohibited by law, at a private sale. The proceeds from any disposition pursuant to this Article, less any and all expenses connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the property (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), will be applied as a credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this Article. Any surplus will be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law, and Tenant shall promptly pay any deficiencies. Landlord is authorized to file a financing statement to perfect the security interest of Landlord in the aforementioned property and proceeds thereof under the provisions of the Texas Business and Commerce Code in effect in the State of Texas. Provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms of this Lease, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver a written subordination of Landlord's statutory and contractual liens to any liens and security interests securing any institutional third party financing of Tenant. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay the delivery of Landlord's written subordination.

PROTECTION OF LENDERS

 

13.01Subordination and Attornment. Landlord may subordinate this Lease to any future ground Lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises, and advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Landlord's right to subordinate is subject to Landlord providing Tenant with a written Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Tenant's right to peaceable possession of the Premises during the Term will not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default, in which case Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord's interest in the Premises and recognize the transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to any existing ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises. However, if any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease be superior to its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives Tenant written notice thereof, then this Lease will be deemed superior to the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. 

 

13.02Signing of Documents. Tenant shall sign and deliver any document that may be requested to evidence any attornment or subordination, or any agreement to attom or subordinate, as long as the document is consistent with the provisions of Section 13.01. If Tenant fails to do so within 10 days after a written request, Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the attornment or subordination document. 

 

13.03Estoppel Certificates

 

A.Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a written statement (an "Estoppel Certificate") certifying: 

 

(1) whether Tenant is an assignee or subtenant;

(2) the Expiration Date of this Lease;

(3) the  number  of  renewal  options  under  this  Lease,  if  any1     and  the  total  period  of  time covered by the renewal options;

(4) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed since the original execution of this Lease, except as shown on any attached amendments or modifications;

(5) that no default exists under the terms of this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant;

(6) that Tenant has no claim against Landlord under this Lease and has no defense or right of offset against collection of Rent or other charges accruing under this Lease;

(7) the amount and payment date of the last payment of Rent, the period of time covered by that payment, and the amount of any rental payments made in advance;

(8) the amount of any Security Deposit and other deposits, if any; and

(9) the identity and address of any guarantor of this Lease.

 

Tenant shall deliver the statement to Landlord within 10 days after Landlord's request. Landlord may forward any such statement to any prospective purchaser or lender of the Premises. The purchaser or lender may rely conclusively upon the statement as true and correct.

 

B.If Tenant does not deliver the Estoppel Certificate to Landlord within the 10-day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or lender, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (1) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (2) that this Lease has not been terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (3) that not more than one monthly installment of Base Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (4) there are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against collection of Rent; and (5) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease. In such event, Tenant will be estopped from denying the truth of the presumed facts. 


COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 21


C.Also, if Tenant does not deliver the Estoppal Certificate to Landlord within the 10-day period, Landlord may deliver a written notice to Tenant stating that Tenant must deliver an Estoppel Certificate under this Section within five days after Tenant receives the notice. If Tenant does not deliver an Estoppal Certificate to Landlord within five days after Tenant receives the notice. then Tenant's failure to deliver an Estoppal Certificate will constitute a Default under this Lease, notwithstanding any longer period of time under Section 11.01 that Tenant would otherwise be allowed to cure a failure before the failure would become a Default. 

 

13.04Tenant's Financial Condition. Within 10 days after a written request from Landlord, but not more than two times in any calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord financial statements as are reasonably required by Landlord to verify the net worth of Tenant, or any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to any lender designated by Landlord any financial statements required by the lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Premises. Tenant represents to Landlord that each financial statement is a true, complete, and accurate statement as of the date of the statement. All financial statements will be confidential and will be used only for the purposes set forth in this Lease.

A.Lump Sum.

The Brokers hereby advise Tenant to seek expert assistance on such matters. Brokers do not investigate a property's compliance with building codes, governmental ordinances, statutes and laws that relate to the use or condition of a property and its construction, or that relate to its acquisition. If the Brokers provide names of consultants or sources for advice or assistance, Tenant acknowledges that the Brokers do not warrant the services of the advisors or their products and cannot warrant the suitability of property to be acquired or leased. Furthermore, the Brokers do not warrant that the Landlord will disclose any or all property defects, although the Brokers will disclose to Tenant any actual knowledge possessed by Brokers regarding defects of the Premises and the Property. In this regard, Tenant agrees to make all necessary and appropriate inquiries and to use diligence in investigating the Premises and the Property before signing this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Principal Broker nor any Cooperating Broker has made any representation to Tenant with respect to the condition of the Premises, and that Tenant is relying exclusively upon Tenant's own investigations and the representations of Landlord, if any, with respect to the condition of the Premises.

No statement on a check from Tenant or in a letter accompanying a check will be binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without notice to Tenant, negotiate, cash, or endorse the check without being bound to the conditions of any such statement.

If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a written notice of the exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period, such Option and any succeeding Options will lapse, and there will be no further right to extend the Term. Each Option may only be exercised by Tenant on the express condition that, at the time of the exercise, Tenant is not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease. The Options are personal to Tenant and may not be exercised by an assignee or subtenant without Landlord's written consent.

 

2. Calculation of Rent. The Base Rent during the Extension(s) will be determined by one of the following methods [check one]:

 

A. Fair Market Rental. The Base Rent during the Extension will be the Fair Market Rental determined as follows:

 

a. The "Fair Market Rental" of the Premises means the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay as of the commencement of the Extension as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of Premises comparable to the Premises if the property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time, and taking into account the term of the Extension, the amount of improvements made by Tenant at its expense, the creditworthiness of the Tenant, and all of the purposes for which the property may be used and not just the use proposed to be made of the Premises by Tenant. Upon proper written notice by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant's intention to elect to exercise the renewal Option, Landlord shall, within  10  days thereafter, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rental amount, and Tenant shall thereupon notify Landlord of Tenant's acceptance or rejection of Landlord's proposed amount. Failure of Tenant to reject Landlord's Fair Market Rental amount within  10  days after receipt of Landlord's notice will be deemed Tenant's acceptance of Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rental amount.

 

b.  If Landlord and Tenant have not been able to agree on the Fair Market Rental amount within 40 days following the exercise of the Option, the Fair Market Rental for the Extension will be determined by the following appraisal process. Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to select a single Appraiser. The term "Appraiser" means a State Certified Real Estate Appraiser licensed by the State of Texas to value commercial property. If Landlord and Tenant are able to agree upon and select a single Appraiser, that Appraiser will determine the Fair Market Rental for the Extension.

 

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Appraiser within  10  days after the end of the 40-day period, each will then appoint one Appraiser by written notice to the other, given within  10  days after the end of the 40-day period. Within five business days after the two Appraisers are appointed, the two Appraisers will appoint a third Appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its Appraiser within the prescribed time period, the single Appraiser appointed will determine the Fair Market Rental amount of the Premises. Each party will bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by it and the parties will share equally the cost of the third appraiser. The Fair Market Rental of the Premises will be the average of two of the three appraisals that are closest in amount, and the third appraisal will be disregarded.


ADDENDUM “A” TO LEASE - Page 1


 

c. In no event will the Base Rent be reduced for any Extension, regardless of the Fair Market Rental determined by any appraisal. If the Fair Market Rental is not determined before the commencement of the Extension, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately before the Extension until the Fair Market Rental amount is determined, and when it is determined, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the Base Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new Base Rent.

 

B. Consumer Price Index Adjustment. The monthly Base Rent during the Extension will be determined by multiplying the monthly installment of Base Rent during the last month of the Term by a fraction determined as follows:

 

a. The numerator will be the Latest Index that means either [check one]:

 

(1) the Index published for the nearest calendar month preceding the first day of the Extension, or

 

(2) the Index for the month of Extension. _________________preceding the first day of the

 

b. The denominator will be the Initial Index that means either [check one]:

 

(1) the Index published for the nearest calendar month preceding the Commencement Date, or

 

(2) the Index for the month of ______________ preceding the Commencement 

 

[If no blanks are filled in above, the choice (1) including the phrase "the nearest calendar month preceding" will apply. If the Index is not yet published for the nearest calendar month preceding the applicable date, then "the nearest calendar month" means the first month preceding the applicable date for which the Index is published].

 

c. The Index means the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers (All Items) U.S. City Average (unless this box is checked in which case the CPI for the Dallas/Fort Worth Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area will be used) published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (Base Index of 1982-84 =100). If the Index is discontinued or revised, the new index or computation that replaces the Index will be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would have been obtained if it had not been discontinued or revised. If such computation would reduce the Rent for the particular Extension, it will be disregarded, and the Rent during the immediately preceding period will apply instead.

 

C. Fixed Rental Adjustments. The monthly installments of Base Rent during the Extension(s) will be increased beginning on the following dates to these amounts:

2. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance, modification, extension and default of this Guaranty and all other notices in connection with this Guaranty or in connection with the liabilities, obligations, and duties guaranteed hereby, including notices of default by Tenant under the Lease, and waives diligence, presentment, and suit on the part of Landlord in the enforcement of any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby. Guarantor waives all rights arising under Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. Guarantor waives all rights to claim any defense arising out of lack of diligence; any failure to pursue Tenant; loss or impairment of any right of subrogation or reimbursement; release of any other guarantor or collateral; death, insolvency, or lack of corporate authority of Tenant; and waiver, release, or election, based on Landlord's or Tenant's rights and obligations under the Lease and the enforcement of its terms.

 

3. Landlord will not be first required to enforce against Tenant or any other person any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby before seeking enforcement thereof against Guarantor. This Guaranty is a primary, irrevocable, and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is independent of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. Suit may be brought and maintained against Guarantor by Landlord to enforce any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby without joinder of Tenant or any other person. The liability of Guarantor will not be affected by any indulgence, compromise, settlement, or variation of terms that may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and will not be impaired, modified, changed, released, or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release, or limitation of the liability of Tenant or its estate in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof. Guarantor will not be released by any extensions, amendments, assignments, subleases, or other modifications of the Lease that Landlord and Tenant may enter into at any time without notice to or consent by Guarantor. Guarantor will remain fully liable for the payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations, and duties of Tenant under the Lease as so extended, amended, assigned, subleased, or otherwise modified.

 

4. Other agreements similar to this Guaranty may, at Landlord's sole option and discretion, be executed by other persons with respect to the Lease. This Guaranty will be cumulative of any such agreements and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected or diminished by reason of such other agreements. Moreover, if Landlord obtains signatures of more than one guarantor on this Guaranty, or Landlord obtains additional guaranty agreements, or both, Guarantor agrees that Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, may (i) bring suit against all guarantors of the Lease, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them, (ii) settle with any one or more of the guarantors for such consideration as Landlord may choose, and (iii) release one or more of the guarantors from liability. No such action will impair the rights of Landlord to enforce this Guaranty against any Guarantor.

7. This Guaranty will be binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor's successors, heirs, executors, and administrators, and will inure to the benefit of Landlord and Landlord's successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.
