Item 1. Description of Business

 

General

 

Allied Corp. (“Allied”) is an international medical cannabis production company with a mission to address today’s medical issues by researching, creating and producing targeted cannabinoid health solutions. Allied Corp. uses an evidence-informed scientific approach to make this mission possible, through cutting-edge pharmaceutical research and development, innovative plant-based production and unique development of therapeutic products.

 

References in this section to “Allied” or the “Company” may include references to the operations of our subsidiaries AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc., SECFAC Corp, Allied Corp Colombia S.A.S., Tactical Relief, LLC (a United States’ based Limited Liability Company that is owned and controlled by Allied).

 

Allied’s management team believes that a company that controls its own supply chain, maximizing margin at each step in the rapidly expanding cannabis market, can succeed and prosper. The management team believes that having control over the supply chain presents a de-risked approach to providing consistent, rolling-harvest supply to the global cannabis community.

 

The Allied team is now focused on a pure play to revenue, developing a fully vertically integrated company with the ability to cultivate low-cost high margin cannabis in Colombia primarily for use in proprietary cannabinoid drug and natural health products for international distribution. Today, Allied has hemp derived natural health products available for sale in the US, commercial approval for sale of medical cannabis that is being produced in Colombia and the initiation of the human clinical phase I trial for Allied’s pharma product ALID 12 that is currently protected under provisional patent.

   

Together, the team at Allied had the skillsets to set Allied on a path of cannabis cultivation and pharmaceutical and natural health product development. Allied has surpassed the 2019 and 2020 strategic goals. These have included:

 

 

·

Achieved: Obtain ICA approval for commercialization of the registered cannabis strains and activate at least 0.5 hectares of test production in Colombia. Since August 31, 2020, the company has surpassed production over a full hectare and is currently scaling with the ability to scale to over 20 hectares.

 

 

 

 

·

Achieved: Launch CBD Natural Health brands in the United States. Over the past year, Allied has successfully done the test marketing, product focus groups and product design for four brands. These being: Tactical Relief™, Equilibrium Bio™, MaXXa ©, and Buds Pure Naturals. Products began selling in the US subsequent to August 31, 2020.

 

 

 

 

·

Achieved: Launch with PHASE I clinical trials for Pharma product ALID 12. Provisional patent was submitted for this product and pharma clinical research for PHASE I human has begun.

  

Further Accomplishments

 

Production

 

In addition to securing, developing the land and licenses in Bucaramanga, Allied successfully activated their Colombian licenses required to produce, extract, import and export psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabis. This has been a year-long process that began with the registration of the ten (10) novel Allied strains with the national cultivar registry. Each strain was then germinated into plantlets in Allied’s scientific cultivation center in Colombia. Following germination, the plants entered into five (5) months of field trials that included rigorous data collection, analysis and phenotyping of the strains while in the vegetation life cycle. During this time, the strains were provided with propriety nutrients, handled with standard operating procedures and guided towards the plant flowering phase. Proprietary nutrients and procedures were also adhered to during the flowering phase and detailed batch record audit data were diligently collected during every day of the plant life cycle. Following flowering, the plants were harvested and tested for cannabinoid profiles and quality assurance testing parameters. The harvested material was then sent to several approved testing laboratories and tested by high performance liquid chromatography testing methods. Testing was carried in several labs for validation of the results regarding the accuracy of the cannabinoid profiles. Allied’s production approach is designed according to the European Pharmacopeia specifications. These standards meet both United States and Canadian quality assurance standards for production of commercial cannabis.

The lab results from the testing of the cannabis showed a higher cannabinoid profile from being grown in the Colombian climate when compared to the same strains grown in North American climate. The lab results, batch records and procedural archives were also submitted to the Colombian Institute of Agriculture and a day-long presentation was provided by Allied’s team. As a result of this thorough process, Allied received approval for nine novel strains from the technical directorate of the ICA, representing a diverse range of chemotypes with novel cannabinoid profiles.

 

Allied may now commercialize the production and sale of their Colombian production.

 

Allied supplemented its local team by bringing experienced growers to Colombia from Canada, along with their genetics expertise. The team has been able to achieve production costs between $0.05 – $0.10 per gram, below budgeted costs of $0.15 and substantially below the $1-2 per gram cost in Canada. The initial crop was harvested in July 2020 for approval by ICA (Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario). Due to COVID related travel restrictions, ICA was only able to visit the farm in October and approval was granted the same month. Allied now has nine non-psychoactive and one psychoactive registered seed strains. In December 2020, Allied harvested the ten psycho active strains and is anticipating psycho active strain approval for commercialization also in Dec/Jan.

 

Allied has also finished construction of a GMP compliant building in Nevada in order to establish a US footprint. Processing and sales from the building are anticipated in fiscal 2021. With the recent movement in the US House and Senate voting, Allied is preparing for imminent US legalization of cannabis production and sales. 

  

Forward Purchase Order

 

On October 16, 2020, Allied signed an agreement consisting of a monthly recurring purchase order of extracted cannabis products in quantities scaling from 1-5 kgs per month to 50 kgs per month for each month between November 2020 and March 2021. Both parties have written into the agreement that they anticipate this monthly quantity to scale to larger quantities beyond the 50 kgs per month. The term of the agreement is set for a 12-month recurring monthly purchase cycle with the option to continue for another five years beyond the first 12 months. The product under the purchase order will meet quality assurance standards such as the testing parameters contained in the European Pharmacopeia standards for the US and European markets, GACP (Good Agricultural Collection Practice) Standards, and GPP (Good Production Practices) to meet the standards for the Canadian market. The achievement of these criteria will be evidenced by the detailed batch records and certificates of analysis laboratory testing results that Allied performs for each harvested batch.

Pharmaceutical

 

On the drug development side, Allied has entered Phase I clinical trials in Austria for a PTSD drug in partnership with MGC Pharma, a company with a proven track record of developing cannabis-based drugs. Pre-clinical trials for a second PTSD drug are also in the strategic plan, in collaboration with Haifa University in Israel. Allied has already registered two provisional patents for Pharma products and is in advanced negotiations with pharma partners in LATAM for development and distribution.

 

Natural Health

 

In the natural health vertical market, Allied has developed its own products under the brand Tactical Relief (“TR”). These products are focused on over the counter solutions to treat sufferers of PTSD. Furthermore, Allied has already initiated its business to business model by signing an agreement with Hollister Biosciences to distribute TR and is in negotiations with other large-scale distributors. Hollister’s press release of December 9, 2020 shows a sales revenue for one of the other brands that they distribute at the $40 million revenue threshold for the 2020 calendar year. 

  

Coinciding with the launch of Allied’s athlete line Equilibrium Bio™ products, Allied completed the first manufacturing run of Hydro Sport CBD-infused rehydration drinks from Allied’s latest brand Equilibrium Bio. As well, these drinks have also been produced for the Tactical Relief ™ branding as Tactical Hydration electrolyte replacement and rehydration drink products. The first Equilibrium Bio products known as Hydro Sport are now available for purchase on e-commerce platforms and have also been shipped to national retail buyers throughout the US. This occurred subsequent to year end. The first manufactured batch encompasses six unique product SKUs (stock-keeping units). The CBD-infused drink pouches come in three flavors: Lemon Lime, Berry Fresh and Orange Burst. The all-natural flavoring and ingredients in the drinks include: Filtered Water, CBD 20 (mg), CBD, CBG, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Sea Salt, Natural Flavor, Tripotassium Citrate, Vitamin B Complex, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium and Beta Carotene for color. The Hydro Sport drinks are the first electrolyte replacement drink to offer CBD, CBG and CBN and have been designed to aide athletes to relax and recover.

  

Camille Leblanc retained for product endorsement

 

In November, 2020 Camille Leblanc was retained by Allied to endorse natural health products. Camille Leblanc earned the title of “Fittest Woman on Earth” when she won the 2014 CrossFit Games. Camille has a large and engaged fan-base of athletes and trainers on social media that exceeds over 1.4 million followers. Her social media audience is representative of consumers of the products under Allied’s brands: Equilibrium Bio, Tactical Relief and MaXXa and Buds Pure Naturals. The target market of this brand is top-level athletes and people who enjoy playing sports at a competitive level. Camille is a seven-year individual CrossFit Games veteran and is one of Crossfit’s most enduring athletes. In 2014, she earned the title of Fittest Woman on Earth, and has finished in the top 10 in four out of her seven Games appearances, also winning five out of seven regional competitions. A former gymnast, Camille Leblanc currently serves on the CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff. She also has a degree in chemical engineering. Camille is also sponsored by Red Bull energy drinks and is often invited to attend Reebok athlete events as a spokesperson. The Equilibrium Bio electrolyte replacement drinks (“Hydro Sport”) will be the good fit for post activity recovery and rehydration.

Key goals for 2021

 

 

1.

Scale production in Colombia. Allied has been harvesting weekly. In order to fulfil the export orders to Europe, Allied completed the GACP (Good Agricultural Collection Practices) pre-audit on October 26-27 and is upgrading the water filtration and electricity services to comply with GACP. In order to obtain GACP, upgrades to water supply, increase electricity services and purchase and install a new drying facility. Should the company reach its full financing objective, its capacity to scale will accelerate over the coming months as will 2021 revenue targets.

2.

Brazil is in our sites. Brazil is the largest market in Latin America with over 200 million people and cannabinoid products are subsidized by the Brazilian government. On December 10, 2020, Allied signed a non-binding LOI with the only company in Brazil that has a 48-month exclusive deal to import CBD products into the Brazilian Government pharmacies. Currently, the government pharmacies prescribe CBD on a one-to-one patient prescription basis. There are 120,000 patients receiving monthly CBD and another 60,000 on the wait list. The supply contract scales to 150,000 bottles (approx. $10 profit per) monthly throughout the four-year contract. Allied is set to fulfil this supply by getting the products through the zone 4B stability trials.

 

 

 

 

3.

Allied is establishing a United States footprint to benefit what they believe to be the inevitable federal legalization of cannabis in the United States. The company has fully built a 9,000 sq ft. building in the State of Nevada and is establishing a production center in Nevada in partnership with a state license holder. The new Nevada facility is expected to already begin generating revenues in the second quarter of 2021. We also expect Allied’s United States presence to draw the attention of the American financial community.

 

 

 

 

4.

Pharma trial completion ALID 12 drug. Allied’s clinical Phase 1 pharma trials are expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2021, leading to a drug indication for PTSD. The company then plans to pursue a licensing deal with big pharma. As a deal is not yet confirmed, Allied has conservatively not budgeted revenues from its pharma vertical market in 2021.

 

 

 

 

5.

Revenues from Natural Health Products. With the launch of Allied’s natural health brands in the US, Allied is looking to revenue from these products. The past year has been spent on focus groups, brand creation and test marketing. We have now commercially launched the four brands in the US: Tactical Relief™, Equilibrium Bio™ , MaXXa ©, Buds Pure Naturals.

Allied Colombia S.A.S. (previously MediColombias) Acquisition (Colombia Licensed Producer)

 

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Dorson Commercial Corp. to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of MediColombia Cannabis S.A.S. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the purchase price of MediColombia is $700,000 and 4,500,000 shares of Allied. The Company closed and completed the acquisition of Medicolombia on February 18, 2020. During the period leading up to the acquisition, the Company made additional advances to Medicolombia totaling $329,436, which was eliminated at consolidation after the acquisition.

 

This company is based in Colombia with a full set of licenses and a lease agreement in place to begin production on a 5-hectare parcel of land. We have the ability to scale production to over hundreds of hectares. This is located in the area of Bucamaranga, Colombia.

This acquisition includes a high-level scientific team of experts and significant capital expenditures spent on an irrigation holding pond, security towers, fencing, etc. to meet the Colombia minister of justice and minister of agriculture requirements.

 

The total acquisition price was $5,200,000. That price is payable (a) $185,000 USD within 5 days of signing the acquisition (this has been completed from the private placement funds); (b) $200,000 USD within 30 days of signing the acquisition (this has also been completed from private placement funds); (c) $315,000 USD within three months of signing the acquisition (also completed) and (d) 4,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 USD per share (these shares have also been issued).

 

            An additional $700,000 CDN will be paid to MediColombias in the form of Advanced Micro or Allied shares at a 30-day moving average market share price once certain terms are achieved.  All of these performance-based production volumes are based upon product produced from MediColombias.

  

Colombian National Ministry of Agriculture approval for seed evaluation

 

In May 2019, we received notice from the National Ministry of Agriculture (ICA) that our seeds are successfully registered and we can begin what they call the “seed evaluation” process of production. This involves planting 60 plants of each strain. We have plants going into the ground within the second quarter of 2019.

 

After the harvesting of these plants, ICA will conduct an on-site inspection and may authorize the large-scale initiation of production. The approval for “seed evaluation” came 6 months ahead of our anticipated timeline. We are consequently on pace for first harvest during first two quarters of 2020. We had originally anticipated this within third and fourth quarters of 2020.

 

In addition to this, to adhere to strict production regulations around seed approval and strain-acclimatization, in Canada we have created research and development environments (under personal production licenses approved by the Canada Regulators) that mimic the micro-climates in Suesca, Ibague and Bucamaranaga. Our strains have performed very well in all three of these micro-climates. We have stressed the strains with very high temperatures and humidity levels to mimic the natural weather patterns in the areas in which we will be cultivating. This is designed to mitigate the acclimatization risk that many peer companies are experiencing in Colombia.

On November 6, 2018, the Company through AM Biosciences signed an assignment to purchase two separate lots located at 8999 Jim Bailey Road in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The land is zoned I2 General Industrial and allow for “Cannabis Production Facilities” as a principal use.

  

The total commitment for the two parcels of land are CAD$1,942,250 (US$1,457,367) (Lot 1 - $988,550, Lot 2 - CAD$953,700). During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company executed several “offer to purchase amendments” to defer the assignment and close of the two parcels of land. On November 11, 2019, the Company executed an additional offer to purchase amendment to extend the assignment and close of the land parcels no later than February 10, 2020 and there was an additional amendment to extend the close of the purchase to May 2020. On May 7, 2020, the Company assigned the purchase of Lot 1 to a third party. In June 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease Lot 1 from the third party for an annual rent of CAD$70,442 for 10 years commencing June 1, 2020 until May 31, 2030. Subsequent to August 31, 2020, the Company terminated the lease, as described in Note 20(a), and there are no further commitments to this project

  

In November 2019, the board of directors determined the Company would not close on Lot 2 as the parcel of land will not be required for future operations. As a result, the Company does not have a commitment to pay the value of CAD$953,700 for the land and will eligible to receive or assign the initial refundable deposit of CAD$10,000. During the year ended August 31, 2020, this contract of purchase and sale for LOT 2 – 8999 Jim Bailey Road was assigned to another non related party.

Natural Health Products Acquisition

 

In May 2019, as a part of the Falcon Ridge Acquisition, the management team of AM Biosciences were able to negotiate the inclusion of a natural health products catalogue of products. This includes 50 products in the natural health vertical market. Three of these products are of particular interest as they have Natural Health Products registration numbers with Health Canada. AM Biosciences can add these to the product offerings both in Canada and the United States.

 

Natural health vertical products launched and are for sale

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences was able to source, negotiate and execute and agreement to do the first packaging run of the “Tactical Relief” product that is targeted at veterans in the United States. This product is not based on THC, but rather a Hemp-derived CBD product that is targeted at the veteran community. We have been able to secure distribution in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois. The management and sales of this product is handled through a licensing deal with a company called Savage Consulting, LLC. Due to the national legislation in the United Sates, Allied has licensed the management of the hemp derived CBD product, Tactical Relief™ to Savage Consulting, LLC.

 

In November 2020, Allied completed 2000 bottles of Tactical Relief and 15,000 drink pouches of Equilibrium Bio. Distribution of these products to buyers occurred in December 2020. Media influencers have been retained to support the sales of all of Allied’s natural health products.

 

Xtreme Cubes construction is completed

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences signed the production and manufacturing contract to begin the manufacturing of the full building for the Canada extraction and production facility. This building is a fully scalable, modular building. The Company made an upfront payment of $230,000 USD in June 2019, an additional payment of $903,385 in August 2019 and an additional payment of $92,000 in March 2020.

 

In June 2020, the company finished the construction of this building. With the actions that have occurred in the United States, Allied is looking to place this building in the state of Nevada to establish a US footprint leading towards legalization of cannabis in the United States.

 

Development Timeline

 

Through its operating subsidiary, the principals of Allied (the “Principals”) commenced development of the Company and its products in 2002 through development of regulatory knowledge, development and collection of over 200 proprietary strains of cannabis targeted at specific diseases and in 2005 obtained production experienced under approved personal production Canadian legislation. Beginning in 2012, the Company’s principals were involved in over 48 Health Canada applications for licensing and were working with Health Canada to inform national cannabis policy. The Company began seeking strategic partners to help veterans, police, fire and ambulance specifically with PTSD issues. During 2014 through 2017, The Company worked with several licensed producers in Canada and development strategic connections, supply and distribution companies into Europe. The Principals also continued to develop novel strains of cannabis for PTSD.

 

In 2018 the Company acquired its development site for cannabis production and completed an approximate $800,000 round of initial seed funding via AM Advanced Biosciences. The Company set up strategic partnerships in South America for production and in the United States for sales and distribution of hemp derived CBD products. In 2020, the Company is working towards expansion into Colombia and has signed a letter of intent to acquire land in Colombia as well as additional facilities in Canada. The Company will begin distribution of hemp derived CBD products for veterans and first responders into the United States.

Legal Status of Cannabis in Canada in 2020

 

Marijuana was banned in Canada back in 1923, and it took almost 80 years before it became legal to use it for medicinal purposes. Canada finally legalized medicinal cannabis in 2001. Public opinion helped shape the next stage of marijuana law in Canada. In late November 2017, the Cannabis Act, Bill C-45, was passed by the House of Commons. In March 2018, it passed second reading in the Senate and on June 18, 2018, the House passed the bill.

 

It was passed with almost all of the Senate’s amendments, and the Senate accepted the new version of the bill on June 19, 2018. On October 17, 2018 marijuana in Canada became federally legal around the country.

 

For medical cannabis use, which is Allied’s target market, those with a prescription are authorized to have up to a five-day amount of their prescription. Some patients have 10 grams per day prescriptions. Some patients have 150 grams per days prescriptions.

 

According to the law, adults are legally permitted to purchase, use, possess, and grow recreational cannabis in Canada. We do not intend to target recreational use. The legal age and cultivation laws vary depending on the province. The minimum legal age is 19 all over Canada except in Alberta and Quebec where it is 18.

 

The maximum amount one is allowed to possess from a recreational source which we do not intend to target, is 30 grams in all Canadian provinces, but in most locations, one is allowed to have larger amounts at home. In British Columbia for example, a person may possess up to 1,000 grams of marijuana at home. There is no limit to home possession in Manitoba.

 

Legality of CBD based products in the United States.

 

In general CBD is legal in the United States, but under very specific conditions.

 

While the legal status of CBD has become more defined with recent reforms, some laws are still unclear and others may still be needed. Combined with misinformation, many may have a very skewed understanding of what’s legal versus what is not.

 

The legality of CBD can vary from state to state and federally, but in general, one of the determining factors is whether the CBD is derived from hemp or marijuana. The Company intends to source its CBD cigarettes from hemp. While the two plants are very close relatives, they are classified very differently under the law and understanding the difference is crucial to legally use CBD. Hemp and marijuana are both classifications of plants in the Cannabis genus, and both can produce an abundance of CBD. As members of the same family, hemp and marijuana share many visual similarities, but at a chemical level, the two plants have vastly different amounts of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the intoxicating compound found in Cannabis.

Table of Contents

 

While hemp is characterized by producing a nearly non-existent amount of THC (less than 0.3%), marijuana can produce an abundance of THC (up to 30%). Because of its high THC-content, marijuana may induce severe mind-altering effects when consumed and is federally illegal in the United States and many other countries.

 

Hemp-derived CBD is legal as long as it is produced within the regulations defined by the law.

 

In 2018, President Trump passed the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the 2018 Farm Bill), which removed hemp as a Schedule I substance and reclassified it as an “agricultural commodity.” A common misconception about the 2018 Farm Bill is that it legalized CBD regardless of if it was derived from hemp or marijuana. This is not true. Based on the guidance of the DEA, CBD is a Schedule I substance and is illegal. If, however, the CBD is derived from hemp and adheres to the following regulations set forth in the new farm bill, it is removed as a Schedule I substance and is legal:

 

The hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC

 

The hemp must adhere to the shared state-federal regulations

 

The hemp must be grown by a properly licensed grower

 

In addition, the 2018 Farm Bill also removed restrictions on the sale, transportation, and possession of hemp-derived CBD products and allowed for the transportation of hemp-derived CBD products across state lines as long as the products follow regulations defined above.

 

While hemp-derived CBD is federally legal as long as it adheres to the law, marijuana-derived CBD is more complicated because it is derived from a plant that is illegal. In fifteen states, including California and Colorado, marijuana is legal for recreational usage, and naturally so is marijuana-derived CBD. Others allow marijuana-derived CBD usage under certain conditions, such as a specific medical condition, and some states strictly prohibit it. As of 2020, there are 15 States where Cannabis, including both marijuana and hemp, are completely legal for recreational and medicinal use. In addition, as of 2020, there are a total of 37 states (including the 15 states mentioned above) where marijuana-derived CBD is legal for medicinal usage. The specific regulations for such use vary from state to state with a majority of states allowing medicinal use for a broad range of conditions, while others set specific requirements for approved use (i.e, the CBD must contain less than a certain percentage of THC or the patient suffers from a specific condition).

 

Both hemp-derived and marijuana-derived CBD are legal at varying levels in a majority of the United States; however, there are certain states where marijuana-derived CBD is strictly prohibited and even hemp-derived CBD is a bit of a gray area.

 

In December 2020, the Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives passed a bill that would legalize marijuana at the federal level — the first time either body of Congress has backed marijuana legalization. The bill would remove marijuana from the federal drug scheduling system, the basis for much of federal drug policy, and eliminates criminal penalties for anyone who possesses, distributes, or produces marijuana. The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act would expunge records for people with prior federal marijuana convictions. It would also impose a tax on marijuana products, which would fund new programs intended to support “individuals and businesses in communities impacted by the war on drugs.” The bill would also take numerous steps to reverse the collateral damage of cannabis prohibition: It would open up federal loans to marijuana businesses, ban federal officials from denying public benefits to people with previous marijuana convictions, and prohibit the denial of US citizenship based on marijuana-related events, among other changes. It’s unlikely, however, that the bill will make it much further in the current Congress, with the Republican-controlled Senate still opposed to legalization. (Marijuana Moment, a marijuana-focused news outlet, has closely tracked day-to-day developments in Congress.) There is a Senate version of the MORE Act, should the legislative body, in a very unlikely scenario, decide to take it up. It’s sponsored by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who’s now the vice president-elect.

The Allied Business Model

 

The Company’s focus will be on the lowest cost of production with high quality. This is intended to produce the highest margins possible. Given the average cost of production in Canada being approximately $1.52CDN per gram, the Allied anticipated $0.09-0.15 cents per gram will provide a serious competitive advantage.

 

Through Allied’s products and supply chain, clients will be able to access superior cannabis-related products with a greater level of confidence regarding quality control. The rapid growth of the cannabis sector requires companies to have sophisticated production and customer support systems in order to remain competitive and scalable. Allied is fortunate to have assembled a team of industry veterans and management professionals with the background and experience to enable the Company to build, manage and grow such systems.

 

Colombia Production

 

The Company’s Colombia facility is intended to provide the following benefits. Essentially, the site is situated in ideal equatorial climate conditions for growing:

 

 

·

12 hours of consistent natural sun all year round

 

 

 

 

·

Massive land mass potential for expedient scale

 

 

 

 

·

Steady temperatures with low variance during the year

 

 

 

 

·

Rich fertile soils and plentiful water supply

 

 

 

 

·

Multiple harvests per year of premium quality product

 

 

 

 

·

Large cohort available of economical, experienced farming workforce

 

 

 

 

·

Local farming skills honed over generations

 

 

 

 

·

Sustainable labor costs

 

 

 

 

·

Clear recognition of tax, job and industry benefits

 

 

 

 

·

Environmentally and socially sustainable production

 

 

 

 

·

·

Water usage not competing with local requirements

 

 

 

 

·

Growing conditions lend well to pest and disease management

 

 

 

 

·

Ability to create jobs and boost local/national economies

  

Competition

 

We face significant competition in the Cannabis and CBD industry. We compete for business primarily on the basis of size and coverage, location, price, quality, and brand recognition. We may also face competition from new entrants into the cannabis service business.

Table of Contents

  

Significant competition could reduce our operating margins and profitability and lead to a loss of market share. Some of our existing and potential competitors may have competitive advantages such as significantly greater brand recognition, a longer history in development of cannabis products, CBD manufacture and distribution, marketing or other resources, and may be able to mimic and adopt our business model. In addition, several of our competitors have significantly larger networks than we do, which gives them an ability to reach a larger number of overall potential consumers and which may make them less susceptible than we are to downturns. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete against new or existing competitors, and failure to compete may reduce for existing market share and profits.

 

Regulation

 

For a discussion of the various risk we face from regulation and compliance matters, see “Risk Factors” below.

 

Properties

 

Bucamaranga, Colombia

 

The Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Allied Colombia, S.A.S., has secured vast agricultural land extension in both Bucamaranga and Ibagué, both key production farming region of Colombia. Both areas have the benefit of having 12 hours of sunlight year-round, temperatures oscillating between 20-30 degrees celsius, with constant humidity. This environment and situation ideal to growing cannabis at low cost. The Ibague land has an area of 1,400 hectares (about 3,450 acres), all with water rights, an electrical substation, and great paved access to the property. This is situated in close proximity to the free trade zone. The Company currently has lease arrangement for 5 hectares and a cost of $1,600 per month with an option to purchase. Further, the Company has the ability to expand its leased land footprint to the adjacent 24 hectare property.

 

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

 

The Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. had two purchase agreements in place to acquire two separate but adjacent lots located at 8999 Jim Bailey Road in Kelowna British Columbia, Canada, north of the Kelowna International Airport. The land is zoned I2 General Industrial and allow for “Cannabis Production Facilities” as a principal use.

 

The total commitment for the two parcels of land are CAD$1,942,250 (US$1,457,367) (Lot 1 - $988,550, Lot 2 - CAD$953,700). During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company executed several “offer to purchase amendments” to defer the assignment and close of the two parcels of land. On November 11, 2019, the Company executed an additional offer to purchase amendment to extend the assignment and close of the land parcels no later than February 10, 2020 and there was an additional amendment to extend the close of the purchase to May 2020. On May 7, 2020, the Company assigned the purchase of Lot 1 to a third party. In June 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease Lot 1 from the third party for an annual rent of CAD$70,442 for 10 years commencing June 1, 2020 until May 31, 2030.

 

In November 2019, the board of directors determined the Company would not close on Lot 2 as the parcel of land will not be required for future operations. As a result, the Company does not have a commitment for the land and will eligible to receive or assign the initial refundable deposit. During the year ended August 31, 2020, this contract of purchase and sale for LOT 2 – 8999 Jim Bailey Road was assigned to another non related party.

Subsequent to August 31, 2020, the Company terminated the lease, as described in Note 20(a), and there are no further commitments to this project.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has approximately 15 contracted employees. The Company does not intend to pay a full salary to any of its executives or management at this time. (See “Executive Compensation”). The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

The following “risk factors” contain important information about us and our business and should be read in their entirety. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we now believe to be not material could also impair our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer significantly. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all of your investment. In this Section, the terms the “Company,” “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Allied Corp. as well as its subsidiaries AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. and Allied Colombia S.A.S.

 

Risks Related to Our Operations

 

We will incur losses and there is no guarantee that we will ever become profitable.

 

We are a relatively newly formed company. There is no guarantee that we will ever become profitable. The costs for research, product development, machinery adaptation to create our product candidates and cannabis products and/or technologies, along with marketing and selling expenses, and the general and administrative expenses, will be principal causes of our costs and/or potential losses. We may never become profitable and if we do not become profitable your investment could be harmed or lost completely.

 

We may need additional capital in the future in order to continue our operations.

 

We obtained approximately $6,975,000 in our recent private placements which we are using for acquisitions and operations. However, if in the future we do not turn profitable or generate cash from operations and additional capital is needed to support operations, economic and market conditions may make it difficult or impossible to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. If funds are not sufficient to support operations, we may need to pursue a financing or reduce expenditures to meet our cash requirements. If we do obtain such financing, we cannot assure that the amount or the terms of such financing will be as attractive as we may desire, and your equity interest in the company may be diluted considerably. If we are unable to obtain such financing when needed, or if the amount of such financing is not sufficient, it may be necessary for us to take significant cost saving measures or generate funding in ways that may negatively affect our business in the future. To reduce expenses, we may be forced to make personnel reductions or curtail or discontinue development programs. To generate funds, it may be necessary to monetize future royalty streams, sell intellectual property, divest of technology platforms or liquidate assets. However, there is no assurance that, if required, we will be able to generate sufficient funds or reduce spending to provide the required liquidity. Long-term capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the status of collaborative arrangements, the progress of research and development programs and the receipt of revenues from sales of products. Our ability to achieve and/or sustain profitable operations depends on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

We launched our cannabis products in 2019 in an initially limited fashion and as a company, we have limited sales and marketing experience.

 

We launched marketing for our cannabis products in 2019, and although we have hired highly qualified personnel with specialized expertise, as a company, we have limited experience commercializing cannabis products on our own. In order to commercialize the cannabis products business, we have to build our sales, marketing, distribution, managerial and other non-technical capabilities and make arrangements with third parties to perform these services when needed. We may have to hire sales representatives and district managers to fill sales territories. To the extent we are relying on third parties to commercialize our business, we may receive less revenues or incur more expenses than if we had commercialized the products ourselves. In addition, we may have limited control over the sales efforts of any third parties involved in our commercialization efforts. If we are unable to successfully implement our commercial plans and drive adoption by patients and physicians of our products through our sales, marketing and commercialization efforts, or if our partners fail to successfully commercialize our products, then we may not be able to generate sustainable revenues from product sales which will have a material adverse effect on our business and future product opportunities. Similarly, we may not be successful in establishing the necessary commercial infrastructure, including sales representatives, wholesale distributors, legal and regulatory affairs teams. The establishment and development of commercialization capabilities to market our products has been and will continue to be expensive and time-consuming. As we continue to develop these capabilities, we will have to compete with other hemp companies to recruit, hire, train and retain sales and marketing personnel. If we have underestimated the necessary sales and marketing capabilities or have not established the necessary infrastructure to support successful commercialization, or if our efforts to do so take more time and expense than anticipated, our ability to market and sell our products may be adversely affected.

 

United States Federal regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of medical Cannabis and/or Cannabis adult use laws and regulations may negatively impact our revenues and profits.

 

Legislation in the United States continues to evolve throughout 2020 relative to laws regulating marijuana. Subsequent to the 2020 elections, there are currently 36 states in the United States, plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulations that recognize in one form or another legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. An additional fifteen states have laws and/or regulations that allow cannabis use by adults for non-medical purposes. More states are considering permitting cannabis use. Congress recently presented legislation which would decriminalize marijuana use federally and relegate legalization to state law.

 

Around the world there are countries who are enacting medical and/or adult use cannabis regulations almost weekly. Conversely, currently under the Controlled Substance Act (the “CSA”), the policy and regulations of the Federal government and its agencies is that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and use of cannabis for personal use is prohibited. Until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana or there is an outcome of the current lawsuit against the un-constitutional application of cannabis in the CSA, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and we may be deemed to be facilitating the selling or distribution of drug paraphernalia in violation of federal law. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect revenues and profits of the Company. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of congressional activity, judicial holdings and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

 

The DOJ (Department of Justice) has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property but relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reverses stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our revenue and profits.

Table of Contents

 

There are conflicts in the United States between Federal and State regulations related to marijuana.

 

Federal regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of adult use/medical Cannabis laws and regulations may negatively impact our revenues and profits. As of the date of this Annual Report, 36 states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use medical marijuana. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. Both the Obama and Trump administrations have effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis. In May 2017, Congress unveiled their new budget bill and as such, lawmakers included a provision, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, that allows states to carry on with crafting their own medical marijuana policies without fear of federal intervention. This bill was passed and as a result, no federal monies have been approved or appropriated to be used to enforce federal law in these cannabis program participating states.

 

Investors should understand that there is no guarantee that current or future administrations will not attempt to change this again in the future. Additionally, any new administration that follows could change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to the Company and its shareholders. While we will not harvest, distribute, or sell cannabis directly, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the Federal or state governments.

 

Again, Cannabis remains illegal under United States federal law. It is a schedule-I controlled substance. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Coop. and Gonzales v. Raich that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana trumps state laws that legalize its use for medicinal purposes. At present, the states are standing tall against the federal government, maintaining existing laws and passing new ones in this area. A change in the federal attitude towards enforcement could have a negative effect on the industry, potentially ending it entirely. While we are not insulated from economic risk if such a change were to occur, we believe that by virtue of the fact that we do not sell, or produce Cannabis or Cannabis related products, our shareholders and we should be insulated from federal prosecution or harassment. However, the growers and sellers of adult use and medical cannabis are our primary customers, and if this industry were unable to operate, we would lose substantially all of our potential clients, which would have a negative impact on our business, operations, and financial condition.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the Cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our proposed operations. Local, state, and federal Cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

Variations in provincial Cannabis regulation in Canada could restrict certain of our operations.

 

In Canada Cannabis legalization officially occurred on October 17, 2018. Our products are designed to fit under the medical registration which is governed by Canadian national legislation. With respect to recreational use, cannabis regulations differ from province-to-province

 

For medical cannabis use (which we target), those with a prescription are authorized to have up to a five-day amount of their prescription. Some patients have 10 grams per day prescriptions. Some patients have 150 grams per days prescriptions. For recreational use (which we do not intend to target), the only constants from province-to-province under the Canadian federal Cannabis Act are a possession limit of up to 30 grams of dried flower (or an equivalent) and a ban on consumption in vehicles. Beyond that, everything from the legal age to the rules on public consumption can be different—though the provinces all share a common goal in discouraging underage use and exposure.

 

In the United States, variations in state and local regulation and enforcement in states that have legalized medical/adult use cannabis that may restrict cannabis-related activities, including activities related to adult use/medical cannabis may negatively impact our revenues and profits.

 

Although we intend to principally operate in Canada and Colombia, where Cannabis has been legal since October 17, 2018, certain of our products may be intended for consumption in the United States. Individual state laws do not always conform to the federal standard or to other states laws. A number of states have decriminalized cannabis to varying degrees, other states have created exemptions specifically for cannabis, and several have both decriminalization adult use and medical cannabis laws. Fifteen states have legalized the adult use of cannabis. Variations exist among states that have legalized, decriminalized or created cannabis exemptions. States have placed limits on the number of homegrown cannabis plants that can be grown. In most states the cultivation of cannabis for personal use continues to be prohibited except for those states that allow small scale cultivation by the individual or collective. Active enforcement of state laws that prohibit personal cultivation of marijuana may indirectly and adversely affect revenue and profits of the Company.

 

Prospective customers may be deterred from doing business with a company with significant nationwide online presence because of fears of federal or state enforcement of laws prohibiting possession and sale of medical or adult use cannabis.

 

Commercialization of our products will require significant resources, and if we do not achieve the sales expected, we may lose the substantial investment made in our products.

 

We have made and are continuing to make substantial expenditures commercializing our products. We are devoting substantial resources to building our manufacturing and extraction equipment for cannabis and other products as well as continued investment in commercial supply inventories to support commercialization, including our recent hiring of sale, operational and scientific managers. We have and expect to continue to devote substantial resources to establish and maintain a marketing capability for our cannabis products. If we are unsuccessful in our commercialization efforts and do not achieve the sales levels of our products that we expect, we may be unable to recover the large investment we have made in research, development, manufacturing, inventory and marketing efforts, and our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We will rely on third parties to perform many necessary services for our products, including services related to the distribution, invoicing, storage and transportation of our products.

 

We intend to retain and partner with third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions related to the sale and distribution of our products, key aspects of which are out of our direct control. If these third-party service providers fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, fail to meet expected deadlines, or otherwise do not carry out their contractual duties to us, or encounter physical damage or natural disaster at their facilities, our ability to deliver product to meet commercial demand would be significantly impaired. In addition, we may utilize third parties to perform various other services for us relating to sample accountability and regulatory monitoring, including adverse event reporting, safety database management and other product maintenance services. If the quality or accuracy of the data maintained by these service providers is insufficient, our ability to continue to market our products could be jeopardized or we could be subject to regulatory sanctions. We do not currently have the internal capacity to perform these important commercial functions, and we may not be able to maintain commercial arrangements for these services on reasonable terms.

 

The failure of any of our third-party distributors to market, distribute and sell our products as planned may result in us not meeting revenue and profit targets.

 

If one or more of these distributors fail to pursue the development or marketing of the products as planned, our revenues and profits may not reach expectations or may decline. The success of the marketing organizations of our partners, as well as the level of priority assigned to the marketing of the products by these entities, which may differ from our priorities, may determine the success of the product sales. Competition in this market could also force us to reduce the prices of our products below currently planned levels, which could adversely affect our revenues and future profitability.

 

We will depend on a limited number of customers for the majority of our revenue, and the loss of any one of these customers could substantially reduce our revenue and impact our liquidity.

 

The loss of any significant customers or partners or reduction in our business activities could cause our revenues to decrease significantly and increase our continuing losses from operations. If our cannabis products are not successful and we cannot broaden our customer base, we will continue to depend on a few customers for the majority of our revenues. Additionally, if we are unable to negotiate favorable business terms with these customers in the future, our revenues and gross profits may be insufficient to allow us to achieve and/or sustain profitability or continue operations.

 

If we cannot develop and market our products as rapidly or cost-effectively as our competitors, we may never be able to achieve profitable operations.

 

Our success depends, in part, upon maintaining a competitive position in the development of products. If we cannot maintain competitive products and technologies, our current and potential distribution partners may choose to adopt the products of our competitors. We face competition with respect to our products from major tobacco companies and smaller producers worldwide. Our competitors may develop products that are safer, more effective, have fewer side effects, or are less costly than our products.

 

Some of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, and marketing and distribution than we do.

Others may bring infringement claims against us, which could be time-consuming and expensive to defend.

 

Third parties may claim that the manufacture, use or sale of our products, or use of our technologies, infringe their patent rights. As with any litigation where claims may be asserted, we may have to seek licenses, defend infringement actions or challenge the validity of those patents in the patent office or the courts. If these are not resolved favorably, we may not be able to continue to develop and commercialize our product candidates. Even if we were able to obtain rights to a third party’s intellectual property, these rights may be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors potential access to the same intellectual property. If we are found liable for infringement or are not able to have these patents declared invalid or unenforceable, we may be liable for significant monetary damages, encounter significant delays in bringing products to market or be precluded from participating in the manufacture, use or sale of products or methods of drug delivery covered by patents of others. Any litigation could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. We may not have identified, or be able to identify in the future, U.S. or foreign patents that pose a risk of potential infringement claims. Ultimately, we may be unable to commercialize some of our product candidates as a result of patent infringement claims, which could potentially harm our business.

 

If we do not have adequate insurance for product liability, then we may be subject to significant expenses relating to these claims.

 

Our business entails the risk of product liability. Although we have not experienced any material claims to date, any such claims could have a material adverse impact on our business. Insurance coverage is expensive and may be difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. We shall maintain product liability insurance and evaluate our insurance requirements on an ongoing basis. If we are subject to a product liability claim, our product liability insurance may not reimburse us, or may not be sufficient to reimburse us, for any expenses or losses that may have been suffered. A successful product liability claim against us, if not covered by, or if in excess of our product liability insurance, may require us to make significant compensation payments, which would be reflected as expenses on our statement of operations. Adverse claim experience for our products or insurance industry trends may make it difficult for us to obtain product liability insurance or we may be forced to pay very high premiums, and there can be no assurance that insurance coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, if the coverage limits of the product liability insurance are not adequate, a claim brought against us, whether covered by insurance or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

If we make any acquisitions, we will incur a variety of costs and might never successfully integrate the acquired product or business into ours.

 

We have attempted and continue to intend to attempt to acquire products or businesses that we believe are a strategic complement to our business model. We might encounter operating difficulties and expenditures relating to integrating an acquired product or business. These acquisitions might require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. In addition, we might never realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition. We might also make dilutive issuances of equity securities, incur debt or experience a decrease in cash available for our operations, or incur contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses relating to goodwill and other intangible assets, in connection with future acquisitions.

Our business could be harmed if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements and, as a result, are subject to sanctions.

 

If we, or companies with whom we are developing technologies or who are manufacturing products on our behalf, fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the companies, and we, may be subject to sanctions, including the following:

 

 

·

warning letters;

 

 

 

 

·

fines;

 

 

 

 

·

product seizures, quarantines or recalls;

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

Future conversions or exercises by holders of options could dilute our common stock.

 

Purchasers of our common stock will experience dilution of their investment upon exercise of the employee stock option and other stock options or issued common shares.

 

Sales of our common stock by our officers and directors may lower the market price of our common stock.

 

Our officers and directors shall beneficially own a significant aggregate of shares of our outstanding common stock. If our officers and directors, or other stockholders, sell a substantial amount of our common stock, it could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We intend to retain any earnings in the foreseeable future for our continued growth and, thus, do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Anti-takeover effects of certain certificate of incorporation and bylaw provisions could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage, delay or prevent persons from acquiring or attempting to acquire us. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without action of our stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series, with such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors shall determine. In addition, our bylaws grant our board of directors the authority to adopt, amend or repeal all or any of our bylaws, subject to the power of the stockholders to change or repeal the bylaws. In addition, our bylaws limit who may call meetings of our stockholders.

Dependence upon Management and Key Personnel

 

The Company is, and will be, heavily dependent on the skill, acumen and services of the management of the Company. The loss of the services of these individuals or any other key individuals, including specifically Calum Hughes, and certain others, for any substantial length of time would materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operation and financial position. (See “Management”).

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

Bucamaranga, Colombia

 

The Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Medi Colombias, SAS, has secured vast agricultural land extension in both Bucamaranga and Ibagué, both key production farming region of Colombia. Both areas have the benefit of having 12 hours of sunlight year-round, temperatures oscillating between 20-30 degrees celsius, with constant humidity. This environment and situation ideal to growing cannabis at low cost. The Ibague land has an area of 1,400 hectares (about 3,450 acres), all with water rights, an electrical substation, and great paved access to the property. This is situated in close proximity to the free trade zone. The Company currently has lease arrangement for 5 hectares and a cost of $1,600 per month with an option to purchase. Further, the Company has the ability to expand its leased land footprint to the adjacent 24-hectare property.

 

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

 

The Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. had two purchase agreements in place to acquire two separate but adjacent lots located at 8999 Jim Bailey Road in Kelowna British Columbia, Canada, north of the Kelowna International Airport. The land is zoned I2 General Industrial and allow for “Cannabis Production Facilities” as a principal use.

 

The total commitment for the two parcels of land is CAD$1,942,250 (US$1,457,367) (Lot 1 - $988,550, Lot 2 - CAD$953,700). During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company executed several “offer to purchase amendments” to defer the assignment and close of the two parcels of land. On November 11, 2019, the Company executed an additional offer to purchase amendment to extend the assignment and close of the land parcels no later than February 10, 2020 and there was an additional amendment to extend the close of the purchase to May 2020. On May 7, 2020, the Company assigned the purchase of Lot 1 to a third party. In June 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease Lot 1 from the third party for an annual rent of CAD$70,442 for 10 years commencing June 1, 2020 until May 31, 2030.

 

In November 2019, the board of directors determined the Company would not close on Lot 2 as the parcel of land will not be required for future operations. As a result, the Company does not have a commitment for the land and will eligible to receive or assign the initial refundable deposit. During the year ended August 31, 2020, this contract of purchase and sale for LOT 2 – 8999 Jim Bailey Road was assigned to another non related party.

Subsequent to August 31, 2020, the Company terminated the lease, as described in Note 20(a), and there are no further commitments to this project.

   

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In December 2018, the Company’s subsidiary AM Biociences had issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to both Mr. Zelen and Mr. Weinkauf as an investment at $0.0001cents. These were converted to 4,311,585 shares (the “SECFAC Shares”) of SECFAC Exchange Corp. (“SECFAC”) at the time of the acquisition of AM Biosciences by Allied Corp.   Pursuant to the settlement agreements, Mr. Zelen and Mr. Weinkauf both returned 4,061,585 of the SECFAC Shares to be immediately returned to SECFAC’s treasury.

  

Further, in March 2019, Mr. Calum Hughes and each of Mr. Zelen and Mr. Weinkauf entered into an agreement for the sale of 6,250,000 shares of common stock of AM Biosciences to be sold to Mr. Zelen and Mr. Weinkauf from Mr. Calum Hughes for $0.0001cents each (the “Repudiated Shares”). These were issued back to Calum Hughes after the non-payment and issuance of a letter of acceptance of repudiation in April 2020. (the “Repudiation Letter”). As part of the settlement, each of Mr. Zelen and Mr. Weinkauf acknowledged and accepted the repudiation letter.

 

Pursuant to the settlement with Mr. Zelen, Allied will pay through his counsel a total of USD$30,000 as a flat fee settlement cash portion, payable in three installments as follows: a. The first installment of $10,000.00 USD is to be paid on or before October 31, 2020, b. The second installment of $10,000 USD is to be paid on or before November 30, 2020; and c.

We are not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.

 

From time to time the Company may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, no legal proceedings or claims, other than those disclosed above, are pending against or involve the Company that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Risks Factors” in our various filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report.

 

As a result of the Reorganization Agreement and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company, formally known as Cosmo Ventures, Inc., is not pertinent, and, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States the historical financial results of AM Biosciences, the acquirer for accounting purposes, prior to the Reorganization Agreement are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

 

The following discussion highlights the Company’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected its consolidated financial condition as well as its liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based Allied Corp’s audited and unaudited financial statements contained in this Current Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

 

The Company’s additional focus is on neutraceutical products for veterans and general public through bringing hemp derived nano-technology products to market in the United States. Differentiators from our competitors potentially include the low cost, high margin production that Allied has available via Colombian Production.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Business presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Allied Corp. and its majority owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition and control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany balances, income, expenses, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash is comprised of cash on hand, cash held in trust accounts and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities within three months when acquired. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of August 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:

 

Equipment

10 years straight-line basis

Office and computer equipment

5 years straight-line basis

Land equipment

10 years straight-line basis

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. As of August 31, 2020, the inventory consisted of containers and packaging materials.

 

Intangible assets

 

At August 31, 2020 and 2019, intangible assets include a purchased brand name, license application, product formulas and licenses which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years. The Company’s purchased brand name and product formulas are amortized beginning from the date the products begin to be sold on a straight-line basis. The Company’s licenses are amortized over their economic or legal life on a straight-line basis, whichever is shorter. As the products have not yet been commercially manufactured or distributed for sale, no amortization has been recorded of the purchased brand name or product formulas. The licenses have been amortized from the date of acquisition.

 

The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts. These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

 

For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

 

Long-lived assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Foreign currency translation and functional currency conversion

 

Items included in these consolidated financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (the “functional currency”).

 

Prior to September 10, 2019, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency during the period that the Canadian dollar was the functional currency are included as part of cumulative currency translation adjustment, which is reported as a component of shareholders’ equity under accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

The Company re-assessed its functional currency and determined as at September 10, 2019, its functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar based on management’s analysis of changes in our organization. The change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from September 10, 2019 and prior period financial statements were not restated for the change in functional currency.

 

For periods commencing September 10, 2019, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Opening balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are based on prior period translated amounts, and non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities incurred after September 10, 2019 are translated at the approximate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the approximate exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as foreign exchange gains.

 

The Company assessed the functional currency for Allied Colombia S.A.S. (previously MediColombia), a wholly owned subsidiary acquired by the Company on February 18, 2020 (see Note 4) to be the Colombian Peso.

 

Share issuance costs

 

Costs directly attributable to the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred share issuance costs. These costs are deferred until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs will be charged against the related share capital or charged to operations if the shares are not issued.

 

Research and development costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Net income (loss) per common share

 

Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding to the extent the effect would not be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Related party transactions

 

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. Related party transactions are measured at the exchange amounts.

  

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to for the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

 

Significant estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements relate to the valuation assumptions related to the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Judgments are required in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue to as going concern as described in Note 1.

 

Financial instruments

 

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

 

Level 1

 

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

 

Level 2

 

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

  

Level 3

 

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

 

The financial instruments consist principally of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable, note payable, and a loan payable to Allied. The fair value of cash when applicable is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all other financial instruments which are categorized as loans and receivables approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or current market rates of interest for similar instruments.

 

 
33

Table of Contents

  

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the short maturities.

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of August 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

  

Reverse Acquisitions

 

Identification of the Accounting Acquirer

 

The Company considers factors in ASC 805-10-55-10 through 55-15 in identifying the accounting acquirer. The Company uses the existence of a controlling financial interest to identify the acquirer - the entity that obtains control of the acquiree. Other pertinent facts and circumstances also shall be considered in identifying the acquirer in a business combination effected by exchanging equity interests, including the following: (a) The relative voting rights in the combined entity after the business combination, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity taking into consideration the existence of any unusual or special voting arrangements and options, warrants, or convertible securities; (b) the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting interest, and where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose single owner or organized group of owners holds the largest minority voting interest in the combined entity; (c) the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners have the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity; (d) the composition of the senior management of the combined entity, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose former management dominates the management of the combined entity; and (e) the terms of the exchange of equity interests, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity that pays a premium over the pre-combination fair value of the equity interests of the other combining entity or entities, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues, or earnings) is significantly larger than that of the other combining entity or entities.

 

Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 805-40-05-2, as one example of a reverse acquisition, a private operating entity may arrange for a public entity to acquire its equity interests in exchange for the equity interests of the public entity. In this situation, the public entity is the legal acquirer because it issued its equity interests, and the private entity is the legal acquiree because its equity interests were acquired. However, application of the guidance in ASC 805-10-55-11 through 55-15 results in identifying: (a) The public entity as the acquiree for accounting purposes (the accounting acquiree); and (b) the private entity as the acquirer for accounting purposes (the accounting acquirer).

  

Measuring the Consideration Transferred

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-40-30-2 and 30-3 in a reverse acquisition, the accounting acquirer usually issues no consideration for the acquiree. Instead, the accounting acquiree usually issues its equity shares to the owners of the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred by the accounting acquirer for its interest in the accounting acquiree is based on the number of equity interests the legal subsidiary would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal parent the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition. The fair value of the number of equity interests calculated in that way can be used as the fair value of consideration transferred in exchange for the acquiree. The assets and liabilities of the legal acquiree are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts (see ASC 805-40-45-2(a)).

Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements Post Reverse Acquisition

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-40-45-1 and 45-2, consolidated financial statements following a reverse acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent (accounting acquiree) but described in the notes as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer), with one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. That adjustment is required to reflect the capital of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree). Comparative information presented in those consolidated financial statements also is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the legal parent (accounting acquiree). The consolidated financial statements reflect all of the following: (a) The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer) recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts; (b) the assets and liabilities of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree) recognized and measured in accordance with the guidance in Topic 805 "Business Combinations"; (c) the retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer) before the business combination; (d) the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer) outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the legal parent (accounting acquiree) determined in accordance with the guidance in this topic applicable to business combinations. However, the equity structure (that is, the number and type of equity interests issued) reflects the equity structure of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree), including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination.

 

Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer) is restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree) issued in the reverse acquisition; and (e) the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the legal subsidiary’s (accounting acquirer’s) pre-combination carrying amounts of retained earnings and other equity interests as discussed in ASC 805-40-25-2 and 805-40-30-3.

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-40-45-4 and 45-5, in calculating the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator of the earnings-per-share (“EPS”) calculation) during the period in which the reverse acquisition occurs: (a) The number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of that period to the acquisition date shall be computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares of the legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement; and (b) the number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of that period shall be the actual number of common shares of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period. The basic EPS for each comparative period before the acquisition date presented in the consolidated financial statements following a reverse acquisition shall be calculated by dividing (a) by (b): (a) The income of the legal acquiree attributable to common shareholders in each of those periods; and (b) the legal acquiree’s historical weighted-average number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement.

  

As a result of the controlling financial interest of the former stockholders of AMBI, for financial statement reporting purposes, the asset acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition with AMBI deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10-55 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of AMBI (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to the Company (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the acquisition. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of AMBI which are recorded at their historical cost. The equity of the Company is the historical equity of AMBI.

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AM Biosciences effective from the date of the reverse take—over transaction on September 10, 2019 and Medicolombia (from the date of acquisition, February 17, 2020). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The standard states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on September 1, 2019, using the transition relief to the modified retrospective approach, presenting prior year information based on the previous standard. The Company did not have any leases until the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Colombia S.A.S. on February 18, 2020 (Note 4). The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not result in any adjustment to retained earnings. Also see Note 8.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with terms greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Unless a lease provides all of the information required to determine the implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses the implicit interest rate in the lease when readily determinable.

 

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period’s consolidated financial statements and notes to the current year’s presentation.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision useful information. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Change in Fiscal Year End

 

Effective November 12, 2019 our Board of Directors determined to change the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to August 31 for each year. The previous year Transition Report on Form 10-K reflects the interim period from the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 through the new year end of August 31, 2019. This current report reflects the fiscal year from August 31, 2019 through August 31, 2020.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

Allied Colombia S.A.S. (previous MediColombias) Acquisition (Colombia Licensed Producer)

 

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Dorson Commercial Corp. to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of MediColombia Cannabis S.A.S. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the purchase price of MediColombia is $700,000 and 4,500,000 shares of Allied.

Assumption of contract of purchase and sale of 8999 Jim Bailey Rd.

 

On November 6, 2018, the Company through AM Biosciences signed an assignment to purchase two separate lots located at 8999 Jim Bailey Road in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The land is zoned I2 General Industrial and allow for “Cannabis Production Facilities” as a principal use.

 

The total commitment for the two parcels of land is CAD$1,942,250 (US$1,457,367) (Lot 1 - $988,550, Lot 2 - CAD$953,700). During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company executed several “offer to purchase amendments” to defer the assignment and close of the two parcels of land. On November 11, 2019, the Company executed an additional offer to purchase amendment to extend the assignment and close of the land parcels no later than February 10, 2020 and there was an additional amendment to extend the close of the purchase to May 2020. On May 7, 2020, the Company assigned the purchase of Lot 1 to a third party. In June 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease Lot 1 from the third party for an annual rent of CAD$70,442 for 10 years commencing June 1, 2020 until May 31, 2030.

 

In November 2019, the board of directors determined the Company would not close on Lot 2 as the parcel of land will not be required for future operations. As a result, the Company does not have a commitment to pay the value of CAD$953,700 for the land and will eligible to receive or assign the initial refundable deposit of CAD$10,000. During the year ended August 31, 2020, this contract of purchase and sale for LOT 2 – 8999 Jim Bailey Road was assigned to another non related party.

 

Natural Health Products Acquisition

 

In May 2019, as a part of the Falcon Ridge Acquisition, the management team of AM Biosciences were able to negotiate the inclusion of a natural health products catalogue of products. This includes 50 products in the natural health vertical market. Three of these products are of particular interest as they have Natural Health Products registration numbers with Health Canada. AM Biosciences can add these to the product offerings both in Canada and the United States.

 

Xtreme Cubes construction has begun

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences signed the production and manufacturing contract to begin the manufacturing of the full building for the Canada extraction and production facility. This building will be a fully scalable, modular building. This building is expected to come off of the production line in Nevada sometime in the first quarter of 2020. We anticipate being able to extract and produce additional strain development in this building beginning first quarter 2020.

Going Concern

 

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our August 31, 2020 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $7,908,566 at August 31, 2020 and net loss from operations of $6,607,763.

 

Although the Company anticipates reaching revenues in the first quarter of 2021, the Company does not yet have a history of financial stability. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of equity securities. In addition, the Company remains in the development stage and has generated no revenues since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the success of Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the issuance of equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash will be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Allied Corp.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

  

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allied Corp. (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2020 and for the period from September 13, 2018 to August 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period from September 13, 2018 to August 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred a loss from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

  

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1.

Nature of operations, reverse take-over transaction and going concern

    

 

a)

Nature of operations

 

 

 

 

 

Allied Corp. (the “Company or Allied”) (formerly named Cosmo Ventures Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 3, 2013. On July 1, 2019, the Company changed its name to Allied Corp.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s business plan is to discover new medical technologies some of which are cannabis derived to target full scope therapy and support for trauma survivors, military veterans and first responders, however the Company has not begun any operations or obtained the required permits to begin operations. The head office and the registered office of the Company are located at 1405 St. Paul Street, Kelowna BC V1Y 2E4.

 

 

 

 

 

On September 10, 2019, the Company was acquired in a reverse takeover (“RTO”) transaction (see Note 1b) and the RTO is considered a purchase of the Company’s net assets (see Note 3) by AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. (“AM Biosciences”). For accounting purposes, the legal subsidiary, AM Biosciences has been treated as the acquirer and Allied Corp., the legal parent, has been treated as the acquiree. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements reflect a continuation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flow of the Company’s legal subsidiary, AM Biosciences from the date of incorporation on September 13, 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

On February 18, 2020, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding share capital of a Colombian company, Allied Colombia S.A.S (formerly Medicolombia’s Cannabis S.A.S) (“Medicolombia”), see Note 4. The assets, liabilities and results of Medicolombia are consolidated in these financial statements beginning from the February 18, 2020 acquisition date.

 

 

 

 

b)

Reverse take-over transaction (RTO)

 

 

 

 

 

On July 25, 2019, as amended effective August 27, 2019, the Company entered into a reorganization and stock purchase agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc (“AM Biosciences”). Effective September 10, 2019, the parties closed the Reorganization Agreement (the “Acquisition”). As part of the transaction, Pacific Capital Investment Group, Inc., the then majority shareholder of Allied (the “Allied Shareholder”) delivered 51,200,014 shares of common stock, representing approximately 65.42% of the outstanding equity of Allied Corp. to SECFAC Exchange Corp. on behalf of the prior shareholders of AM Biosciences and certain other designees of AM Biosciences as a consideration to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM Biosciences. Further, as part of the transaction, the Allied Shareholder submitted for cancellation and return to treasury 10,459,220 and 4,500,000 shares of common stock. As a consequence, immediately subsequent to the close of the Reorganization Agreement, Allied had 78,268,780 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

 

 

 

 

The Reorganization Agreement constitutes a reverse merger, such that AM Biosciences acquired control of Allied Corp. At the time of the Reorganization Agreement, the operations of Allied Corp. did not constitute businesses under ASC 805 Business Combinations and accordingly the transaction is considered a reverse asset acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, AM Biosciences was deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the facts that, immediately following the acquisition: (i) AM Biosciences’ stockholders owned a substantial majority of the voting rights in the combined company, (ii) AM Biosciences designated a majority of the members of the initial board of directors of the combined company, and (iii) AM Biosciences’ senior management holds all key positions in the senior management of the combined company. As a result, as of the closing date of the acquisition, the net assets of the Company were recorded at their acquisition-date relative fair values in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the reported operating results prior to the acquisition will be those of AM Biosciences. See Note 3 for details on the RTO.

1.

Nature of operations, reverse take-over transaction and going concern (continued)

       

 

c)

Going concern

 

 

 

 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended August 31, 2020 of $6,607,763, has not generated any revenues and as at August 31, 2020 has a working capital deficit of $2,869,026. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to acquire or develop a profitable business. Management intends on financing its operations and future development activities largely from the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including related party loans until such time that funds provided by future planned operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

 

 

 

d)

Business risks

 

 

 

 

 

While some states in the United States have authorized the use and sale of cannabis, it remains illegal under federal law and the approach to enforcement of U.S. federal laws against cannabis is subject to change. Because the Company plans to engage in cannabis-related activities in the United States, it assumes certain risks due to conflicting state and federal laws. The federal law relating to cannabis could be enforced at any time and this would put the Company at risk of being prosecuted and having its assets seized.

 

 

 

 

 

On January 4, 2018, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to United States district attorneys (the ““Sessions Memorandum”“) which rescinded previous guidance from the United States Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memorandum. With the Cole Memorandum rescinded, United States federal prosecutors no longer have guidance relating to the exercise of their discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis related violations of United States federal law. In response to the Sessions Memorandum, on April 13, 2018, the United States President Donald Trump promised Colorado Senator Cory Gardner that he will support efforts to protect states that have legalized cannabis. Nevertheless, a significant change in the federal government’s enforcement policy with respect to current federal laws applicable to cannabis could cause significant financial damage to the Company. The Company may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement policies of the federal government depending on the nature of such change.

 

 

 

 

 

Given the current illegality of cannabis under United States federal law, the Company’s ability to access both public and private capital may be hindered by the fact that certain financial institutions are regulated by the United States federal government and are thus prohibited from providing financing to companies engaged in cannabis related activities. The Company’s ability to access public capital markets in the United States is directly hindered as a result. The Company may, however, be able to access public and private capital markets in Canada in order to support continuing operations.

 

 

 

 

e)

COVID-19 impact

 

 

 

 

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and the related adverse public health developments have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. Management has determined that there has been no significant impact to the Company’s operations, however management continues to monitor the situation.

2.

Significant accounting policies

 

 

Business presentation

 

 

 

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.

 

 

 

The significant accounting policies followed are:

   

 

a)

Principles of consolidation

 

 

 

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Allied Corp. and its majority owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition and control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany balances, income, expenses, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

 

 

 

b)

Cash and cash equivalents

 

 

 

 

 

Cash is comprised of cash on hand, cash held in trust accounts and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities within three months when acquired. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of August 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

 

 

 

c)

Property and equipment

 

 

 

 

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates and methods:

  

Equipment

10 years straight-line basis

Office and computer equipment

5 years straight-line basis

Land equipment

10 years straight-line basis

  

 

d)

Inventory

 

 

 

 

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. As of August 31, 2020, the inventory consisted of containers and packaging materials.

2.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

 

 

 

e)

Intangible assets

  

 

 

At August 31, 2020 and 2019, intangible assets include a purchased brand name, license application, product formulas and licenses which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years. The Company’s purchased brand name and product formulas are amortized beginning from the date the products begin to be sold on a straight-line basis. The Company’s licenses are amortized over their economic or legal life on a straight-line basis, whichever is shorter. As the products have not yet been commercially manufactured or distributed for sale, no amortization has been recorded of the purchased brand name or product formulas. The licenses have been amortized from the date of acquisition.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts. These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

 

 

 

 

 

For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

 

 

 

 

f)

Long-lived assets

 

 

 

 

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

 

 

 

 

g)

Foreign currency translation and functional currency conversion

 

 

 

 

 

Items included in these consolidated financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (the “functional currency”).

 

 

 

 

 

Prior to September 10, 2019, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency during the period that the Canadian dollar was the functional currency are included as part of cumulative currency translation adjustment, which is reported as a component of shareholders’ equity under accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company re-assessed its functional currency and determined as at September 10, 2019, its functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar based on management’s analysis of changes in our organization. The change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from September 10, 2019 and prior period financial statements were not restated for the change in functional currency.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

  

 

g)

Foreign currency translation and functional currency conversion (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

For periods commencing September 10, 2019, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Opening balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are based on prior period translated amounts, and non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities incurred after September 10, 2019 are translated at the approximate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the approximate exchange rate in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as foreign exchange gains.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company assessed the functional currency for MediColombia, a wholly-owned subsidiary acquired by the Company on February 18, 2020 (see Note 4) to be the Colombian peso. This company has now changed its name to Allied Colombia S.A.S.

 

 

 

 

h)

Share issuance costs

 

 

 

 

 

Costs directly attributable to the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred share issuance costs. These costs are deferred until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs will be charged against the related share capital or charged to operations if the shares are not issued.

 

 

 

 

i)

Research and development costs

 

 

 

 

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

 

 

 

j)

Net income (loss) per common share

 

 

 

 

 

Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding to the extent the effect would not be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.

 

 

 

 

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

 

 

 

k)

Income taxes

 

 

 

 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

  

 

l)

Related party transactions

 

 

 

 

 

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. Related party transactions are measured at the exchange amounts.

 

 

 

 

m)

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

 

 

 

 

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to for the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

 

 

 

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

 

 

 

 

 

Significant estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements relate to the valuation assumptions related to the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Judgments are required in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue to as going concern as described in Note 1.

 

 

 

 

n)

Financial instruments

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

The financial instruments consist principally of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable, note payable, convertible notes payable, and a loan payable to Allied. The fair value of cash when applicable is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all other financial instruments which are categorized as loans and receivables approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or current market rates of interest for similar instruments.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

  

 

n)

Financial instruments (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts payable, due from related parties, notes and loans payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the short maturities.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of August 31, 2020 and 2019 other than cash.

 

 

 

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

 

 

 

 

o)

Reverse acquisitions

 

 

 

 

Identification of the accounting acquirer

 

 

 

 

 

The Company considers factors in ASC 805-10-55-10 through 55-15 in identifying the accounting acquirer. The Company uses the existence of a controlling financial interest to identify the acquirer - the entity that obtains control of the acquiree. Other pertinent facts and circumstances also shall be considered in identifying the acquirer in a business combination effected by exchanging equity interests, including the following: (a) The relative voting rights in the combined entity after the business combination, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity taking into consideration the existence of any unusual or special voting arrangements and options, warrants, or convertible securities; (b) the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting interest, and where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose single owner or organized group of owners holds the largest minority voting interest in the combined entity; (c) the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners have the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity; (d) the composition of the senior management of the combined entity, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose former management dominates the management of the combined entity; and (e) the terms of the exchange of equity interests, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity that pays a premium over the pre-combination fair value of the equity interests of the other combining entity or entities, where the acquirer usually is the combining entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues, or earnings) is significantly larger than that of the other combining entity or entities.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

  

 

o)

Reverse acquisitions (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 805-40-05-2, as one example of a reverse acquisition, a private operating entity may arrange for a public entity to acquire its equity interests in exchange for the equity interests of the public entity. In this situation, the public entity is the legal acquirer because it issued its equity interests, and the private entity is the legal acquiree because its equity interests were acquired. However, application of the guidance in ASC 805-10-55-11 through 55-15 results in identifying: (a) The public entity as the acquiree for accounting purposes (the accounting acquiree); and (b) the private entity as the acquirer for accounting purposes (the accounting acquirer).

 

 

 

 

 

Measuring the consideration transferred

 

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-40-30-2 and 30-3 in a reverse acquisition, the accounting acquirer usually issues no consideration for the acquiree. Instead, the accounting acquiree usually issues its equity shares to the owners of the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred by the accounting acquirer for its interest in the accounting acquiree is based on the number of equity interests the legal subsidiary would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal parent the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition. The fair value of the number of equity interests calculated in that way can be used as the fair value of consideration transferred in exchange for the acquiree. The assets and liabilities of the legal acquiree are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts (see ASC 805-40-45-2(a)).

 

 

 

 

 

Presentation of consolidated financial statements post reverse acquisition

 

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-40-45-1 and 45-2, consolidated financial statements following a reverse acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent (accounting acquiree) but described in the notes as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer), with one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. That adjustment is required to reflect the capital of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree). Comparative information presented in those consolidated financial statements also is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the legal parent (accounting acquiree). The consolidated financial statements reflect all of the following: (a) The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer) recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts; (b) the assets and liabilities of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree) recognized and measured in accordance with the guidance in Topic 805 "Business Combinations"; (c) the retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer) before the business combination; (d) the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer) outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the legal parent (accounting acquiree) determined in accordance with the guidance in this topic applicable to business combinations. However, the equity structure (that is, the number and type of equity interests issued) reflects the equity structure of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree), including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination.

 

 

 

 

 

Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer) is restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree) issued in the reverse acquisition; and (e) the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the legal subsidiary’s (accounting acquirer’s) pre-combination carrying amounts of retained earnings and other equity interests as discussed in ASC 805-40-25-2 and 805-40-30-3.

Presentation of consolidated financial statements post reverse acquisition (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-40-45-4 and 45-5, in calculating the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator of the earnings-per-share (“EPS”) calculation) during the period in which the reverse acquisition occurs: (a) The number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of that period to the acquisition date shall be computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares of the legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement; and (b) the number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of that period shall be the actual number of common shares of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period. The basic EPS for each comparative period before the acquisition date presented in the consolidated financial statements following a reverse acquisition shall be calculated by dividing (a) by (b): (a) The income of the legal acquiree attributable to common shareholders in each of those periods; and (b) the legal acquiree’s historical weighted-average number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement.

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of the controlling financial interest of the former stockholders of AMBI, for financial statement reporting purposes, the asset acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition with AMBI deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10-55 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of AMBI (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to the Company (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the acquisition. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of AMBI which are recorded at their historical cost. The equity of the Company is the historical equity of AMBI.

 

 

 

 

 

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AM Biosciences effective from the date of the reverse take—over transaction on September 10, 2019 and Medicolombia (from the date of acquisition, February 18, 2020). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

 

 

p)

Leases

 

 

 

 

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The standard states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on September 1, 2019, using the transition relief to the modified retrospective approach, presenting prior year information based on the previous standard. The Company did not have any leases until the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Colombia S.A.S. on February 18, 2020 (Note 4). The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not result in any adjustment to retained earnings. Also see Note 8.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

  

 

p)

Leases (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with terms greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Unless a lease provides all of the information required to determine the implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses the implicit interest rate in the lease when readily determinable.

 

 

 

 

 

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability. See Note 8 – Leases.

Reclassification

 

 

 

 

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period’s consolidated financial statements and notes to the current year’s presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

 

 

 

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision useful information. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

 

 

 

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842) Leases further discussion can be found in Note 2(p).

 

 

 

 

 

With the exception of the new standards discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended August 31, 2020, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company

Reverse acquisition transaction

 

 

 

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (see Note 1(b)), effective on September 10, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM Biosciences (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the equity of AM Biosciences, the Allied Shareholder issued and delivered 51,200,014 shares of common stock, representing approximately 62.12% of the outstanding equity of the Company to SECFAC Exchange Corp. on behalf of the previous shareholders of AM Biosciences and other designees of AM Biosciences.

 

 

 

The Acquisition, was accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition pursuant to Topic 805, Business Combinations, as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired were concentrated in a group of similar non-financial assets, and the acquired assets did not have outputs or employees.

 

 

 

The total purchase price paid in the Acquisition has been allocated to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the completion of the Acquisition. The following summarizes the purchase price paid in the Acquisition:

Acquisition of Allied Colombia S.A.S. (formerly known as Medicolombia)

 

 

 

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dorson Commercial Corp. (“Dorson”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Medicolombia Cannabis S.A.S. (“MediColombia”) held by Dorson. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the purchase price of MediColombia is $700,000 and 4,500,000 shares of Allied. The Company closed and completed the acquisition of Medicolombia on February 18, 2020. During the period leading up to the acquisition, the Company made additional advances to Medicolombia totaling $329,436, which was eliminated at consolidation after the acquisition.

 

The Company determined that Medicolombia did not meet the definition of a business found in ASC 805 Business Combinations. As the purchase of Medicolombia did not qualify as a business acquisition, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. As the fair value of the purchase price consideration paid was more reliably measurable than the assets acquired, the cost of the non-cash assets received was based on the fair value of the consideration given.

 

The cost of the asset acquisition was allocated on a fair value basis to the net assets acquired. The Company allocated the cost of the assets as follows:

 

Purchase price

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cash

 

$ 700,000

 

Common stock issued

 

 

4,500,000

Property and equipment

 

 

123,613

 

Licenses

 

 

5,435,334

 

Total assets acquired

 

$ 5,756,820

 

 

In connection with the acquisition of MediColombia, the Company also assumed the contingent liability of paying $598,326 (CAD$700,000) in cash or issuing equity for the equivalent amounts to the previous shareholders of MediColombia before Baleno acquired MediColombia on May 13, 2019, when MediColombia reaches to certain production milestone. On February 18, 2020, the Company assessed that the contingent consideration did not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date under ASC 480 or ASC 815, and therefore, the Company did not recognize any contingent consideration pertaining to this. As at August 31, 2020, the Company reassessed and determined that it became probable that MediColombia would reach to the production milestone and therefore, the contingent liability meets the recognition criteria under ASC 480 as at August 31, 2020. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company recognized contingent expenses on MediColombia of $530,191. As at August 31, 2020, the accrued contingent liabilities totaled $536,727, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The impact of foreign exchange is $6,536.

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) to acquire the property and assets of Bud’s Pure Naturals Inc. for total consideration of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Pursuant to the APA, the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock on February 13, 2019. The remaining 1,000,000 shares of common stock are contingent upon the receipt of greater than $500,000 of gross profits by the Company from the acquired assets, and obtaining Cosmetic Notification Numbers from Health Canada for the products. If these events do not occur prior to February 13, 2021 then the additional shares are forfeited.

Intangible assets (continued)

 

 

 

The Company assessed the acquisition and determined that the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business found in ASU 2017-01. As the acquisition does not qualify as a business acquisition, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. As the fair value of the consideration was more reliably measurable than the intangible assets acquired the cost of the noncash asset received was based on the fair value of the consideration given. The cost of the assets acquired was the 1,000,000 shares issued which had an estimated fair value of $112,254 (CAD$150,000).

 

 

 

 

 

The cost of the asset acquisition is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the net assets acquired. Based on their estimated relative fair values, the brand name had a fair value $56,127 (CAD$75,000) and the formulas acquired had a fair value of $56,127 (CAD$75,000). During the year ended August 31, 2020, the brand name and formula were written off as a $112,254 charge to expenses as the Company does not intend to pursue the Canadian licenses.

 

 

 

 

 

The additional 1,000,000 shares issuable upon the achievement of milestones represent contingent consideration for which the contingency is yet to be resolved. As the contingent consideration did not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date or at August 31, 2019 and 2020 under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company did recognize the additional payment when the contingency is resolved, and the additional shares are paid or become payable.

 

 

 

 

b) 

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into two Share Purchase Agreements with the same vendors to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Falcon Ridge Naturals Ltd and 473650 B.C. Ltd. In consideration for the all the issued and outstanding shares of two entities, the Company paid $374,182 (CAD$500,000) cash, issued a $523,854 (CAD$700,000) promissory note and 950,000 common shares with a fair value of $106,642 (CAD$142,500).  The note is non-interest bearing and due within 5 days of the date the Company receives the Health Canada License. The primary purpose of the acquisitions was to acquire a cannabis license, and the license is in the application stage and submitted to Health Canada, however approval for the license has not been received to date. The Company  has decided not to pursue the license application (see Note 9(a)) and accordingly the promissory note has been cancelled.  In the subsequent period, the Company and the vendors reached mutual consent to return the common shares (see Note 20(j)).

 

 

 

 

 

The Company assessed the acquisition and determined that the acquisitions did not meet the definition of a business found in ASU 2017-01. As the acquisitions did not qualify as business acquisitions, the Company accounted for the transactions as an asset acquisition. The cost of the asset acquisition is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the net assets acquired. The Company is required to allocate the cost to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed, based on their relative fair values. As the sole asset acquired by the Company was a cannabis license application the entire $1,342,500 cost of the acquisition was allocated to the license application. The cost of the license was the $374,182 (CAD$500,000) paid, the $523,854 (CAD$700,000) promissory note issued and the fair value of the 950,000 common shares issued of $106,642 (CAD$142,500).

 

 

 

 

 

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company determined that it was not going to utilize this license. As the Company is no longer pursuing the license, the Company has recorded a full impairment of the intangible asset of $1,004,678.

c) 

On February 17, 2020, the Company acquired licenses of $5,435,334 as part of the Medicolumbia acquisition described in Note 4. The licenses acquired are issued by the Republic of Colombia and include the use of seeds for growing Cannabis, production of derivatives from Cannabis for medicinal and scientific use, cultivation of Cannabis plants, and producer of seeds. The Company has recorded amortization of these licenses of $463,858 for the year ended August 31, 2020. The Company conducted a quantitative assessment of the licenses using the discounted cash flows method using forecasted revenues over a 5 year period with a discount rate of 30.5% and determined that the recordable amount of the licenses to be $3,300,000 as of August 31, 2020 and recorded an impairment loss of $1,113,972. The translation difference on licenses due to fluctuation in foreign exchange totaled $557,504, which is included as other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Leases

 

 

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company also elected to keep all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet. The adoption of Topic 842 did not result in any adjustment to retained earnings. Also see Note 2(p).

 

 

 

 

The Company did not have any leases until the acquisition of Medicolombia during the year ended August 31, 2020. The acquisition resulted in the addition of $82,398 of operating lease assets and liabilities.

 

 

 

 

The Company entered into an agreement to lease the land described in Note 5(e) and 15(d) with a commencement date of June 1, 2020. The lease requires the Company to make monthly payments of $4,501 (CAD$5,870) per month. The lease is for a 10-year term, expiring on May 31, 2030, with one 10-year renewal option and an option for the Company to purchase the land for approximately $920,000 (CAD$1,200,000).

 

 

 

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. At August 31, 2020, the Company did not have any finance leases.

 

 

 

 

At August 31, 2020, the weighted average remaining operating lease term was 10 years and the weighted average discount rate associated with operating leases was 15%.

Loans payable

 

 

 

 

a)

On May 31, 2019, as part of the asset acquisition described in Note 4, the Company issued a $523,854 (CAD$700,000) promissory note. The note is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due 5 days following the Company’s receipt of the Health Canada License.  During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company determined that it was no longer going to utilize or pursue the Health Canada License.  As a result, the note was discharged in the current year. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company recognized gain on the cancellation of promissory note of $536,729. The difference is due to fluctuation in foreign exchange.

 

 

 

 

b)

In June 2020, the Company entered into a financing agreement to finance the buildings described in Note 5(a). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company financed $1,253,772 of the purchase price. The Company paid $71,023 at commencement date on May 29, 2020, and will make six monthly interest payments of $37,613 commencing June 20, 2020 and repay the principal of $1,253,772 on November 20, 2020. Also see Note 15(h) for the commitment details and Note 20(b) for extension of the repayment due date. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company paid interest in the total amount of $148,236.

Convertible notes

 

 

 

 

On January 23, 2020, the Company issued two convertible notes with principal amounts of $400,000 and $200,000, respectively, with a total face value of $600,000 (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase 240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.25 per share for 1 year. The Notes were issued with an original discount of $12,000, and bear interest at 10% per annum compounded monthly. The notes mature on July 20, 2020 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $1.25 per share.

 

 

 

 

The Company has evaluated whether separate financial instruments with the same terms as the conversion features above would meet the characteristics of a derivative instrument as described in paragraphs ASC 815-15-25. The Company determined that there was no derivative liability associated with the debenture or warrants under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The terms of the contracts do not permit net settlement, as the shares delivered upon conversion are not readily convertible to cash. The Company’s trading history indicated that the shares are thinly traded and the market would not absorb the sale of the shares issued upon conversion without significantly affecting the price. As the conversion features would not meet the characteristics of a derivative instrument as described in paragraphs ASC 815-15-25, the conversion features are not required to be separated from the host instrument and accounted for separately. As a result, at August 31, 2020, the conversion features and warrants would not meet derivative classification.

 

 

 

 

The relative fair values of the convertible note and the warrants were $470,467 and $117,533 respectively. The effective conversion price was then determined to be $0.98. As the stock price at the issuance date was greater than the effective conversion price, it was determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company recognized the relative fair value of the BCF of $115,383 and an equivalent discount. The Company then recognized the relative fair value of the warrants of $108,100 as additional-paid-in capital and an equivalent discount that further reduced the carrying value of the convertible debt to $364,517. The beneficial conversion feature of $115,383, the original issue discount of $12,000 and the relative fair value of the warrants of $108,100 discounted the convertible debenture the carrying value of the convertible debt on the date of issue. The discount is being expensed over the term of the loan to increase the carrying value to the face value of the loan using effective interest rate method.

 

 

 

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company repaid $200,000 of the $600,000 note which left $400,000 outstanding on each note. On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into amendments to the convertible notes. Pursuant to the amendments, beginning on July 1, 2020, the convertible notes bear simple interest at 5% per annum. The maturity date of the convertible notes was amended to due on demand on or before October 31, 2020. In consideration for extending the maturity date, the Company issued to the convertible note holders 16,000 common shares of the Company and warrants to purchase additional 320,000 common shares of the Company at $1.25 per share expiring October 31, 2021. Each note holder received 8,000 common shares and 160,000 warrants.

Convertible notes (continued)

 

 

 

 

The Company evaluated the transaction under the guidance found in ASC 470-50 Modification and Extinguishment. The Company concluded that the Company is experiencing financial difficulty and that a concession was not granted. As the creditor has not granted a concession, the guidance contained in ASC 470-60 was applied. As present value of the cash flows under the new debt instrument differed by more than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt instrument, it was determined that the debt was substantially different which resulted in extinguishment accounting.

 

 

 

 

The extended convertible notes had a total carrying value of $400,000. As the common shares and warrants were issued as consideration for extending the convertible notes, the fair value of the common share and warrants of $218,397 were expensed under extinguishment accounting. The fair value of these costs were included in the calculation of the loss on extinguishment of $220,065.

 

 

 

 

As at August 31, 2020, the Company has recorded accrued interest of $26,290, which is included in the balance of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

 

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2020, the Company amended the convertible notes as described in Note 20(g).

Financial risk factors

 

 

 

 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

 

 

 

 

a)

Credit risk:

 

 

 

 

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash account. Cash accounts are held with major banks in Canada. The Company has deposited its cash with a bank from which management believes the risk of loss is low.

 

 

 

 

b)

Liquidity risk:

 

 

 

 

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. Accounts payable are due within the current operating period. The Company has a working capital deficit and requires additional financing to meet its current obligations (see Note 1).

  

 

c)

Market risk:

 

 

 

 

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company is not exposed to market risk.

 

 

 

 

d)

Interest rate risk:

 

 

 

 

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, from time to time, on its cash balances. Surplus cash, if any, is placed on call with financial institutions and management actively negotiates favorable market related interest rates.

 

 

 

 

e)

Foreign exchange risk:

 

 

 

 

 

Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate risk, but manages the risk my minimizing the value of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars:

  

 

 

August 31, 2020

 

Balance in Canadian dollars:

 

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

$ 96,208

 

Accounts payable

 

 

(431,371 )

Net exposure in Canadian dollars

 

 

(335,163 )

Balance in US dollars:

 

$ (260,029 )

 

 

A 10% change in the US dollar to the Canadian dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s net loss by approximately $26,003 for the year ended August 31, 2020 (August 31, 2019 – $11,100).

Net exposure

 

 

(3,425,400,874 )

Balance in US dollars:

 

$ (916,028 )

  

 

A 10% change in the US dollar to the Colombian Peso exchange rate would impact the Company’s net loss by approximately $91,603 for the year ended August 31, 2020 (August 31, 2019 – $Nil).

 

14.

Capital management

 

 

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the business and continue as a going concern. The Company considers capital to be all accounts in equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company has a working capital deficit and requires additional capital to finance is future business plans. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

  

15.

Commitments and contingencies

 

 

 

 

a)

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent with BwellMED International Holdings Ltd.

b)

On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase manufacturing equipment designed to produce pharmaceutical grade medicines.

The Company no longer intends to utilize this equipment and as a result has expensed the consideration paid to acquire the equipment. This contract has been terminated as of August 31, 2020.

 

 

 

 

c)

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a consulting agreement.

The consulting agreement was amended in November 2019 and as result no further fees will be paid.

Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

 

 

 

d)

On November 6, 2018, the Company signed an assignment to purchase two separate lots located at 8999 Jim Bailey Road in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The land is zoned I2 General Industrial and allow for “Cannabis Production Facilities” as a principal use.

 

 

 

 

 

The total commitment for the two parcels of land are CAD$1,942,250 (US$1,457,367) (Lot 1 - $988,550, Lot 2 - CAD$953,700). During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company executed several “offer to purchase amendments” to defer the assignment and close of the two parcels of land. On November 11, 2019, the Company executed an additional offer to purchase amendment to extend the assignment and close of the land parcels no later than February 10, 2020 and there was an additional amendment to extend the close of the purchase to May 2020. On May 7, 2020, the Company assigned the purchase of Lot 1 to a third party. In June 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease Lot 1 from the third party for an annual rent of CAD$70,442 for 10 years commencing June 1, 2020 until May 31, 2030.

 

 

 

 

 

In November 2019, the board of directors determined the Company would not close on Lot 2 as the parcel of land will not be required for future operations. As a result, the Company does not have a commitment to pay the value of CAD$953,700 for the land and will eligible to receive or assign the initial refundable deposit of CAD$10,000. During the year ended August 31, 2020, this contract of purchase and sale for LOT 2 – 8999 Jim Bailey Road was assigned to another non related party.

 

 

 

 

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2020, the Company terminated the lease, as described in Note 20(a), and there are no further commitments to this project.

Segment disclosure

  

 

During the year ended August 31, 2019 and as of August 31, 2019, the Company had only one operating segment.

 

 

 

 

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company had two operating segments including:

 

 

 

 

a)

Allied Colombia S.A.S, a Colombian based company through which the Company intends to commence commercial production in Colombia. (Medicolombias)

 

 

 

 

b)

Allied Corp. which consists of the rest of the Company’s operations. (Allied)

Income Taxes

 

 

 

At August 31, 2020, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $5,959,000. The significant components of deferred income tax assets at August 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

The amount taken into income as deferred income tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry forwards that is more likely-than-not to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide a full valuation allowance against all available income tax loss carry forwards. The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

 

As of August 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company has no recognized income tax benefits. The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the year ended ended August 31, 2020 or the period ended August 31, 2019. No interest or penalties have been accrued as of August 31, 2020. As of August 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the combined statutory rate for the year ended August 31, 2020 and for the period ended August 31, 2020 is as follows:

As of August 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $4,386,000 of federal net operating losses that may be available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2034 unless utilized. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s U.S. net operating carryovers may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control as defined the regulations. A Section 382 analysis has not been prepared and the Company’s NOLs could be subject to limitation.

 

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Based upon the Company’s losses since inception, management believes that it is more likely than not that the future benefits of its deferred tax assets will not be realized and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.

Item 9. Change in and Disagreement with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

At inception the Company engaged Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), to audit its financial statements for the period of inception to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

 

Effective November 12, 2019, we determined to change our auditors to the firm who had audited our operating subsidiary and consequently terminated Marcum LLP as our independent accountant. Marcum’s report on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion, and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change our independent accountant was made and approved by the entire Board of Directors.

 

During our most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, through the subsequent interim periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, and further through November 15, 2019, there have been no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

 

During our most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, through the subsequent transition period ended August 31, 2019, Marcum did not advise us on any matter set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K.

 

Effective November 12, 2019, we engaged Manning Elliott, LLP (“Manning Elliott”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for our transition period from March 31, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2020. During our most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, through the subsequent interim transition period ended August 31, 2019 as well as the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, we did not consult with Manning Elliott regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us that was an important factor to be considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The report of Manning Elliott regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

 
42

Table of Contents

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of August 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Equity Compensation Plans

 

The Board may grant incentive bonuses to our executive officers and/or future executive officers in its sole discretion. Bonuses will be granted if the Board believes such bonuses are in the Company’s best interest, after analyzing our current business objectives and growth, if any, and the amount of revenue we are able to generate each month, which revenue is a direct result of the actions and ability of such executives. Other than our bonus plan we have no current equity compensation plans.

Expense Reimbursement

 

We will reimburse our officers and directors for reasonable expenses incurred during the course of their performance.

Director Compensation

 

We do not have a standard compensation arrangement for directors. The Company has formed a Compensation and Governance Committee to make such determinations, with approval by both the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

 

Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allows indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a company against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person must be found to be entitled to indemnification under this statutory standard by procedures designed to assure that disinterested members of the board of directors have approved indemnification or that, absent the ability to obtain sufficient numbers of disinterested directors, independent counsel or shareholders have approved the indemnification based on a finding that the person has met the standard. Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.

 

We do not have indemnification provisions in our articles or bylaws.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

January 23, 2020

 

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: USD$200,000

DUE: July 20, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Allied Corp. (the "Borrower" or the “Company”), company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, hereby promises to pay CA INDOSUEZ (SWITZERLAND) SA (the "Lender"), at such address or at such other place as the Lender may from time to time designate by written notice to the Borrower, the principal amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000) DOLLARS, ON DEMAND at any time after 179 days from the date hereof (the "Principal Amount"), in lawful money of the United States of America, with simple interest at 10% per annum..

 

The Borrower may pre-pay the Principal Amount and any unpaid interest or any portion thereof at any time and from time to time without notice, further interest, bonus or penalty provided, however, that a minimum of six months interest shall be payable from the date hereof regardless of such repayment date.

 

At the option of Lender, this note is convertible at any time through that date which is 179 days from the date of issuance at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties, at no time will the Lender convert any amount of this Note into common stock that would result in the Lender owning more than 9.9% of the common stock outstanding.  

 

At the option of the Lender upon closing of any equity based financing for the Company, Lender may require the Company to redeem this Note (to the extent available as net proceeds from any such financing) through repayment of any and all principal amount remaining due together with any accrued but unpaid interest, without further interest, bonus or penalty provided, however, that a minimum of six months interest shall be payable from the date hereof through such redemption date.

 

The Company hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Company’s collateral pursuant to the terms of that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Security Interest”).

 

PRESENTMENT for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonour and protest hereof are hereby waived.

 

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE is governed by and shall be interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada and all federal laws of the United States of America applicable therein.

 

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE is not assignable by the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Lender.

SERIES A WARRANT

 

Warrant No.: 1

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 80,000

Date of Issuance: January 23, 2020 ("Issuance Date")

 

Allied Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, CA INDUSUEZ (SWITZERLAND) SA, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at $1.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”), upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or times on or after the date hereof but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), EIGHTY THOUSAND (80,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the "Warrant Shares"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 17.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the date hereof, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the tenth Business Day following the date (the "Share Delivery Date") on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than ten Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (other than income taxes of the holder) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means $1.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 14.

(d) Limitations on Exercises; Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this subsection, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.

 

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

 

 
3

 

 

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) ("Other Shares of Common Stock") of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

 

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

 
4

 

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If the Company enters into or is party to a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity and Holder to comply with the provisions of this Section 4(b). The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action that is required hereunder to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to its shareholders.

7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

 

(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

 

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

 

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

 

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

 

8. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given to such address or addresses as set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) promptly after any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least ten days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to all holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Required Holders; provided that no such action may increase the exercise price of any Warrant or decrease the number of shares or class of stock obtainable upon exercise of any Warrant without the written consent of the Holder. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Warrants then outstanding.

 

10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms of this Warrant will continue in full force and effect.

 

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada.

 

12. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

 

13. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(f) any additional property of Debtor from time to time delivered to or deposited with Secured Party as security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement.

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

In order to induce Secured Party to accept this Security Agreement, Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party (which representations and warranties will survive the creation of the Secured Obligations and any other extension of credit under the Convertible Note) that:

 

2.2 Ownership and Liens. Except for the security interest of Secured Party granted in this Security Agreement and other Permitted Liens, Debtor owns good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any other Liens. Debtor has full right, power and authority to grant to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral provided by Debtor in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any other Liens, adverse claims and options other than Permitted Liens. No other Lien created by Debtor or is known by Debtor to exist with respect to any Collateral; and to the best of such Debtor’s information and belief, no financing statement or other security instrument is on file in any jurisdiction covering such Collateral, other than those in favor of Secured Party and other Permitted Liens. At the time the security interest in favor of Secured Party attaches, good and marketable title to all after-acquired Property included within the Collateral provided by Debtor, free and clear of any other Liens, other than Permitted Liens, will be vested in Debtor.

 

2.3 Status of Accounts. Each Account of Debtor now existing represents, and each Account of Debtor hereafter arising will represent, the valid and legally enforceable indebtedness of a bona fide account debtor arising from the sale or lease or rendition by Debtor of goods and/or services and is not and will not be subject to contra accounts, set-offs, defenses or counterclaims by or available to account debtors obligated on the Accounts of Debtor except as disclosed to Secured Party in writing or where any such contra account, set-off, defense or counterclaim could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; such goods will have been delivered to, or be in the process of being delivered to, and such services will have been rendered by Debtor to the account debtor and accepted by the account debtor; and the amount shown as to each Account of Debtor on Debtor’s books will be the true and undisputed amount owing and unpaid thereon, subject to any discounts, allowances, rebates, credits and adjustments to which the account debtor has a right and which have been disclosed to Secured Party in writing or which could not reasonable result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 
-3-

 

 

2.4 Status of Related Rights. All Related Rights of Debtor are, and those hereafter arising will be, valid and genuine.

 

2.5Location. Debtor’s chief executive office and chief place of business is located at the address set forth in the opening paragraph of this Security Agreement. The office where Debtor keeps its records concerning the Accounts of Debtor and the General Intangibles of Debtor and the original of all the Related Rights of Debtor has the same address as Debtor’s chief executive office and chief place of business. No Equipment and/or Inventory is covered by a certificate of title (other than certain motor vehicles and aircraft) pursuant to applicable law. The jurisdiction of organization for Debtor is the State of Nevada.

 

2.6 Secured Party’s Security Interest. This Security Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in the Collateral provided by Debtor securing the Secured Obligations. All filings (which filings with Governmental Authorities are described in Article IV of this Security Agreement) and other actions necessary to perfect or protect such security interest have been duly or will be promptly taken by Debtor. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration or other public notice of such security interest is necessary in any governmental office or jurisdiction in order to perfect such security interest or to continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or for filings upon the occurrence of any of the events stated in Section 4.10 of this Security Agreement. Such perfected security interest in the Collateral constitutes a first-priority (except as to Permitted Liens) security interest under the Code.

 

ARTICLE III

 
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

 

A deviation from the provisions of this Article IV shall not constitute a default under this Security Agreement if such deviation is consented to in writing by Secured Party. Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Article IV, from the date hereof and for so long as any part of the Secured Obligations is outstanding.

 

Debtor recognizes that one or more financing statements pertaining to the Collateral provided by Debtor will be filed in one or more filing offices. Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party of any condition or event that may change the proper location for the filing of any financing statements or other public notice or recordings for the purpose of perfecting a security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor will (a) promptly notify Secured Party of any change (i) in the location of the office where such Debtor keeps its records concerning its Accounts or (ii) in the “location” of such Debtor within the meaning set forth in the Code or the jurisdiction in which Debtor is incorporated, organized or formed; (b) prior to any of the Collateral provided by Debtor becoming so related to any particular real estate so as to become a fixture on such real estate, notify Secured Party of the description of such real estate and the name of the record owner thereof, to the extent such real estate is not already encumbered in favor or for the benefit of Secured Party to secure the Secured Obligations; and (c) promptly notify Secured Party of any change in Debtor’s name, identity or structure. In any notice furnished pursuant to this paragraph, Debtor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Security Agreement and contains facts that will or may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purpose of continuing perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral. Further, Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file, at the expense of such Debtor, any and all financing statements, pursuant to Article 9 of the Code, as Secured Party deems necessary, in its sole discretion, in conjunction with this Security Agreement.

ARTICLE IV 


RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND WARRANTIES

 

4.1 With Respect to Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party is hereby fully authorized and empowered (without the necessity of any further consent or authorization from Debtor) and the right is expressly granted to Secured Party, and Debtor hereby constitutes, appoints and makes Secured Party, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for it and in its name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, in Secured Party’s name or Debtor’s name or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Secured Party and the other Secured Creditors, but at Debtor’s cost and expense, to exercise, without notice, all or any of the following powers at any time with respect to all or any of the Collateral:

 

(a) to notify account debtors or the obligors on the Accounts, the General Intangibles and the Related Rights to make and deliver payment to Secured Party;

 

(b) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due by virtue thereof and otherwise deal with proceeds;

 

(c) to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver any and all checks, notes, drafts, Documents and other negotiable and non-negotiable Instruments and Chattel Paper taken or received by Secured Party in connection therewith;

 

(d) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

 

(e) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same or the Proceeds or avails thereof or the relative goods, as fully and effectively as if Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof; and

 

(f) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to grant waivers and make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

 

 
-5-

 

 

provided, however, Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to exercise any of the powers hereby conferred upon it and shall be without liability for any act or failure to act in connection with the collection of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Collateral.

 

4.2 Default Remedies. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may then, or at any time thereafter and from time to time, apply, set-off, collect, sell in one or more sales, lease, or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any brokers’ board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, at such price as Secured Party may deem fair, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and may hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Debtor or right of redemption. No such purchase or holding by Secured Party shall be deemed a retention by Secured Party in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. All demands, notices and advertisements and the presentment of Property at sale are hereby waived. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any applicable provision of the Code or other law requires Secured Party to give reasonable notice of any such sale or disposition or other action, Debtor hereby agrees that twenty days’ prior written notice shall constitute reasonable notice. Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Debtor. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party.

 

4.3 Proceeds. After the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral and all sums received or collected by Secured Party from or on account of the Collateral shall be applied by Secured Party to the Secured Obligations.

 

4.4 Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred upon Secured Party by this Security Agreement are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties. Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Secured Obligations or Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Secured Party be under any duty to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Secured Party shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession, but need not take any steps to keep the Collateral identifiable. Secured Party shall have no duty to comply with any recording, filing or other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority or enforceability of, or Secured Party’s rights in or to, any of the Collateral.

 

 
-6-

 

 

4.5 Secured Party’s Actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any Person, exhaust any Collateral or pursue any other remedy in Secured Party’s power, and Debtor waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement or of creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Secured Obligations from time to time. All dealings between Debtor and Secured Party, whether or not resulting in the creation of the Secured Obligations, shall conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Security Agreement. Until all the Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the commitments of the Lenders terminated, Debtor shall not have any right to subrogation, and Debtor waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Secured Party. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Secured Obligations, from time to time to (a) take and hold any other Property as collateral, other than the Collateral, as security for any or all of the Secured Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of the Collateral or such other Property to the Secured Obligations; and (b) apply the Collateral or such other Property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party in its discretion may determine, subject, however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and any applicable intercreditor agreement with any Secured Creditor.

 

4.6 Transfer of Secured Obligations and Collateral. Any of the Secured Obligations may be transferred, in whole or in part, and upon any such transfer, Secured Party may transfer any or all of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability with respect to the Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect to Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Secured Party shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. Secured Party may at any time deliver any or all of the Collateral to Debtor, whose receipt shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party shall thereafter be discharged from any liability therefor.

 

4.7 Cumulative Security. The execution and delivery of this Security Agreement in no manner shall impair or affect any other security (by endorsement or otherwise) for the Secured Obligations. No security taken hereafter as security for the Secured Obligations shall impair in any manner or affect this Security Agreement. All such present and future additional security is to be considered as cumulative security.

 

4.8 Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing Security Agreement and the grant of a security interest hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist until the Secured Obligations are paid in full as the same become due and payable; until Secured Party, upon request of Debtor, has executed a written termination statement, reassigned to Debtor, without recourse, the Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby and returned possession of the Collateral in its possession to Debtor.

 

4.9 Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party. Furthermore, regardless of whether or not the Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, powers and remedies are asserted, Secured Party shall have the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Secured Party may exercise its bankers’ lien or right of set-off with respect to the Secured Obligations in the same manner as if the Secured Obligations were unsecured.

 

 
-7-

 

 

4.10 Exercise of Rights. Time shall be of the essence for the performance by Debtor of any act under this Security Agreement or in respect of the Secured Obligations, but neither Secured Party’s acceptance of partial or delinquent payments nor any forbearance, failure or delay by Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy shall be deemed a waiver of any obligation of Debtor or of any right, power or remedy of Secured Party or preclude any other or further exercise thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

4.11 Remedy and Waiver. Secured Party may remedy any Default and may waive any Default without waiving the Default remedied or waiving any prior or subsequent Default.

 

4.12 Non-Judicial Remedies. Secured Party may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any and all legal rights which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Secured Party from resorting to judicial process at its option.

 

ARTICLE V


MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1 Preservation of Liability. Neither this Security Agreement nor the exercise by Secured Party of (or the failure to so exercise) any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Person liable on the Secured Obligations from liability on the Secured Obligations and for any deficiency thereon.

 

5.2 Notices. Any notice or demand under this Security Agreement or in connection with this Security Agreement may be given as provided in the Subscription Agreement, but actual notice, however given or received, shall always be effective.

January 23, 2020

 

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: USD$400,000

 

DUE: July 20, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Allied Corp. (the "Borrower" or the “Company”), company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, hereby promises to pay PARKWARD HOLDING LTD. (the "Lender"), at such address or at such other place as the Lender may from time to time designate by written notice to the Borrower, the principal amount of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($400,000) DOLLARS, ON DEMAND at any time after 179 days from the date hereof (the "Principal Amount"), in lawful money of the United States of America, with simple interest at 10% per annum..

 

The Borrower may pre-pay the Principal Amount and any unpaid interest or any portion thereof at any time and from time to time without notice, further interest, bonus or penalty provided, however, that a minimum of six months interest shall be payable from the date hereof regardless of such repayment date.

 

At the option of Lender, this note is convertible at any time through that date which is 179 days from the date of issuance at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties, at no time will the Lender convert any amount of this Note into common stock that would result in the Lender owning more than 9.9% of the common stock outstanding.

 

At the option of the Lender upon closing of any equity based financing for the Company, Lender may require the Company to redeem this Note (to the extent available as net proceeds from any such financing) through repayment of any and all principal amount remaining due together with any accrued but unpaid interest, without further interest, bonus or penalty provided, however, that a minimum of six months interest shall be payable from the date hereof through such redemption date.

 

The Company hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Company’s collateral pursuant to the terms of that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Security Interest”).

SERIES A WARRANT

 

Warrant No.:  2

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 160,000

Date of Issuance:  January 23, 2020 ("Issuance Date")

 

Allied Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, PARKWARD HOLDING LTD., the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at $1.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”), upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or times on or after the date hereof but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), ONE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND (160,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the "Warrant Shares"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 17.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the date hereof, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the tenth Business Day following the date (the "Share Delivery Date") on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than ten Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (other than income taxes of the holder) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means $1.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 14.

(d) Limitations on Exercises; Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this subsection, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.

 

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

 

 
3

 

 

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) ("Other Shares of Common Stock") of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

 

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

 
4

 

  

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If the Company enters into or is party to a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity and Holder to comply with the provisions of this Section 4(b). The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action that is required hereunder to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to its shareholders.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

 

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Required Holders; provided that no such action may increase the exercise price of any Warrant or decrease the number of shares or class of stock obtainable upon exercise of any Warrant without the written consent of the Holder. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Warrants then outstanding.

 

10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms of this Warrant will continue in full force and effect.

 

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada.

 

12. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

 

13. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

14. TRANSFER. This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the consent of the Company, provided such sale is completed in accordance with applicable securities laws as set forth in an opinion of counsel.

(f) any additional property of Debtor from time to time delivered to or deposited with Secured Party as security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement.

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

In order to induce Secured Party to accept this Security Agreement, Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party (which representations and warranties will survive the creation of the Secured Obligations and any other extension of credit under the Convertible Note) that:

 

2.2 Ownership and Liens. Except for the security interest of Secured Party granted in this Security Agreement and other Permitted Liens, Debtor owns good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any other Liens. Debtor has full right, power and authority to grant to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral provided by Debtor in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any other Liens, adverse claims and options other than Permitted Liens. No other Lien created by Debtor or is known by Debtor to exist with respect to any Collateral; and to the best of such Debtor’s information and belief, no financing statement or other security instrument is on file in any jurisdiction covering such Collateral, other than those in favor of Secured Party and other Permitted Liens. At the time the security interest in favor of Secured Party attaches, good and marketable title to all after-acquired Property included within the Collateral provided by Debtor, free and clear of any other Liens, other than Permitted Liens, will be vested in Debtor.

 

2.3 Status of Accounts. Each Account of Debtor now existing represents, and each Account of Debtor hereafter arising will represent, the valid and legally enforceable indebtedness of a bona fide account debtor arising from the sale or lease or rendition by Debtor of goods and/or services and is not and will not be subject to contra accounts, set-offs, defenses or counterclaims by or available to account debtors obligated on the Accounts of Debtor except as disclosed to Secured Party in writing or where any such contra account, set-off, defense or counterclaim could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; such goods will have been delivered to, or be in the process of being delivered to, and such services will have been rendered by Debtor to the account debtor and accepted by the account debtor; and the amount shown as to each Account of Debtor on Debtor’s books will be the true and undisputed amount owing and unpaid thereon, subject to any discounts, allowances, rebates, credits and adjustments to which the account debtor has a right and which have been disclosed to Secured Party in writing or which could not reasonable result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 
-3-

 

 

2.4 Status of Related Rights. All Related Rights of Debtor are, and those hereafter arising will be, valid and genuine.

 

2.5 Location. Debtor’s chief executive office and chief place of business is located at the address set forth in the opening paragraph of this Security Agreement. The office where Debtor keeps its records concerning the Accounts of Debtor and the General Intangibles of Debtor and the original of all the Related Rights of Debtor has the same address as Debtor’s chief executive office and chief place of business. No Equipment and/or Inventory is covered by a certificate of title (other than certain motor vehicles and aircraft) pursuant to applicable law. The jurisdiction of organization for Debtor is the State of Nevada.

 

2.6 Secured Party’s Security Interest. This Security Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in the Collateral provided by Debtor securing the Secured Obligations. All filings (which filings with Governmental Authorities are described in Article IV of this Security Agreement) and other actions necessary to perfect or protect such security interest have been duly or will be promptly taken by Debtor. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration or other public notice of such security interest is necessary in any governmental office or jurisdiction in order to perfect such security interest or to continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or for filings upon the occurrence of any of the events stated in Section 4.10 of this Security Agreement. Such perfected security interest in the Collateral constitutes a first-priority (except as to Permitted Liens) security interest under the Code.

 

ARTICLE III 


COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

 

A deviation from the provisions of this Article IV shall not constitute a default under this Security Agreement if such deviation is consented to in writing by Secured Party. Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Article IV, from the date hereof and for so long as any part of the Secured Obligations is outstanding.

 

Debtor recognizes that one or more financing statements pertaining to the Collateral provided by Debtor will be filed in one or more filing offices. Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party of any condition or event that may change the proper location for the filing of any financing statements or other public notice or recordings for the purpose of perfecting a security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor will (a) promptly notify Secured Party of any change (i) in the location of the office where such Debtor keeps its records concerning its Accounts or (ii) in the “location” of such Debtor within the meaning set forth in the Code or the jurisdiction in which Debtor is incorporated, organized or formed; (b) prior to any of the Collateral provided by Debtor becoming so related to any particular real estate so as to become a fixture on such real estate, notify Secured Party of the description of such real estate and the name of the record owner thereof, to the extent such real estate is not already encumbered in favor or for the benefit of Secured Party to secure the Secured Obligations; and (c) promptly notify Secured Party of any change in Debtor’s name, identity or structure. In any notice furnished pursuant to this paragraph, Debtor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Security Agreement and contains facts that will or may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purpose of continuing perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral. Further, Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file, at the expense of such Debtor, any and all financing statements, pursuant to Article 9 of the Code, as Secured Party deems necessary, in its sole discretion, in conjunction with this Security Agreement.

ARTICLE IV


RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND WARRANTIES

 

4.1 With Respect to Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party is hereby fully authorized and empowered (without the necessity of any further consent or authorization from Debtor) and the right is expressly granted to Secured Party, and Debtor hereby constitutes, appoints and makes Secured Party, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for it and in its name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, in Secured Party’s name or Debtor’s name or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Secured Party and the other Secured Creditors, but at Debtor’s cost and expense, to exercise, without notice, all or any of the following powers at any time with respect to all or any of the Collateral:

 

(a) to notify account debtors or the obligors on the Accounts, the General Intangibles and the Related Rights to make and deliver payment to Secured Party;

 

(b) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due by virtue thereof and otherwise deal with proceeds;

 

(c) to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver any and all checks, notes, drafts, Documents and other negotiable and non-negotiable Instruments and Chattel Paper taken or received by Secured Party in connection therewith;

 

(d) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

 

(e) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same or the Proceeds or avails thereof or the relative goods, as fully and effectively as if Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof; and

 

(f) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to grant waivers and make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

 

 
-5-

 

 

provided, however, Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to exercise any of the powers hereby conferred upon it and shall be without liability for any act or failure to act in connection with the collection of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Collateral.

 

4.2 Default Remedies. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may then, or at any time thereafter and from time to time, apply, set-off, collect, sell in one or more sales, lease, or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any brokers’ board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, at such price as Secured Party may deem fair, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and may hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Debtor or right of redemption. No such purchase or holding by Secured Party shall be deemed a retention by Secured Party in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. All demands, notices and advertisements and the presentment of Property at sale are hereby waived. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any applicable provision of the Code or other law requires Secured Party to give reasonable notice of any such sale or disposition or other action, Debtor hereby agrees that twenty days’ prior written notice shall constitute reasonable notice. Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Debtor. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party.

 

4.3 Proceeds. After the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral and all sums received or collected by Secured Party from or on account of the Collateral shall be applied by Secured Party to the Secured Obligations.

 

4.4 Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred upon Secured Party by this Security Agreement are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties. Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Secured Obligations or Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Secured Party be under any duty to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Secured Party shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession, but need not take any steps to keep the Collateral identifiable. Secured Party shall have no duty to comply with any recording, filing or other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority or enforceability of, or Secured Party’s rights in or to, any of the Collateral.

 

 
-6-

 

 

4.5 Secured Party’s Actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any Person, exhaust any Collateral or pursue any other remedy in Secured Party’s power, and Debtor waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement or of creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Secured Obligations from time to time. All dealings between Debtor and Secured Party, whether or not resulting in the creation of the Secured Obligations, shall conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Security Agreement. Until all the Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the commitments of the Lenders terminated, Debtor shall not have any right to subrogation, and Debtor waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Secured Party. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Secured Obligations, from time to time to (a) take and hold any other Property as collateral, other than the Collateral, as security for any or all of the Secured Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of the Collateral or such other Property to the Secured Obligations; and (b) apply the Collateral or such other Property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party in its discretion may determine, subject, however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and any applicable intercreditor agreement with any Secured Creditor.

 

4.6 Transfer of Secured Obligations and Collateral. Any of the Secured Obligations may be transferred, in whole or in part, and upon any such transfer, Secured Party may transfer any or all of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability with respect to the Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect to Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Secured Party shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. Secured Party may at any time deliver any or all of the Collateral to Debtor, whose receipt shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party shall thereafter be discharged from any liability therefor.

 

4.7 Cumulative Security. The execution and delivery of this Security Agreement in no manner shall impair or affect any other security (by endorsement or otherwise) for the Secured Obligations. No security taken hereafter as security for the Secured Obligations shall impair in any manner or affect this Security Agreement. All such present and future additional security is to be considered as cumulative security.

 

4.8 Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing Security Agreement and the grant of a security interest hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist until the Secured Obligations are paid in full as the same become due and payable; until Secured Party, upon request of Debtor, has executed a written termination statement, reassigned to Debtor, without recourse, the Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby and returned possession of the Collateral in its possession to Debtor.

 

4.9 Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party. Furthermore, regardless of whether or not the Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, powers and remedies are asserted, Secured Party shall have the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Secured Party may exercise its bankers’ lien or right of set-off with respect to the Secured Obligations in the same manner as if the Secured Obligations were unsecured.

 

 
-7-

 

 

4.10 Exercise of Rights. Time shall be of the essence for the performance by Debtor of any act under this Security Agreement or in respect of the Secured Obligations, but neither Secured Party’s acceptance of partial or delinquent payments nor any forbearance, failure or delay by Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy shall be deemed a waiver of any obligation of Debtor or of any right, power or remedy of Secured Party or preclude any other or further exercise thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

4.11 Remedy and Waiver. Secured Party may remedy any Default and may waive any Default without waiving the Default remedied or waiving any prior or subsequent Default.

 

4.12 Non-Judicial Remedies. Secured Party may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any and all legal rights which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Secured Party from resorting to judicial process at its option.

 

ARTICLE V


MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1 Preservation of Liability. Neither this Security Agreement nor the exercise by Secured Party of (or the failure to so exercise) any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Person liable on the Secured Obligations from liability on the Secured Obligations and for any deficiency thereon.

 

5.2 Notices. Any notice or demand under this Security Agreement or in connection with this Security Agreement may be given as provided in the Subscription Agreement, but actual notice, however given or received, shall always be effective.

 

5.3 Governing Law. This Security Agreement and the security interest granted hereby shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to principles thereof relating to conflicts of law.

 

5.4 Amendment and Waiver. This Security Agreement may not be amended (nor may any of its terms be waived) except in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

5.5 Invalidity. In case any provision of this Security Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

5.6 Survival of Agreements. All covenants and agreements of Debtor herein not fully performed before the effective date of this Security Agreement shall survive such date.

 

5.7 Successors and Assigns. All representations and warranties of Debtor herein, and the covenants and agreements herein contained by or on behalf of Debtor, shall bind Debtor and Debtor’s legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns.

 

 
-8-

 

 

5.8 Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections. All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or other divisions of this Security Agreement are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles, sections, subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

5.9 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument and shall be enforceable as of the date hereof upon the execution of one or more counterparts hereof by each of the parties hereto. In this regard, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that a counterpart of this Security Agreement containing a set of counterpart execution pages reflecting the execution of each party hereto shall be sufficient to reflect the execution of this Security Agreement by each party hereto and shall constitute one instrument.

 

5.10 Benefits of Certain Agreements. In connection with its execution and acting hereunder, Secured Party is entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities provided to it as agent under the Credit Agreement.

 

5.11 Conflict with Certain Agreements. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Security Agreement and a provision that is in the Subscription Agreement or the Convertible Note, the provisions of the Subscription Agreement and/or the Convertible Note shall control; provided, however, the inclusion in this Security Agreement of a provision with respect to which there is no corresponding provision in the Subscription Agreement shall not constitute a conflict with any provision of the Subscription Agreement.

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 17.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the date hereof, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the tenth Business Day following the date (the "Share Delivery Date") on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than ten Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (other than income taxes of the holder) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means $1.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 14.

(d) Limitations on Exercises; Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this subsection, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.

 

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) ("Other Shares of Common Stock") of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

 

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

 
4

 

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If the Company enters into or is party to a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity and Holder to comply with the provisions of this Section 4(b). The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action that is required hereunder to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to its shareholders.

9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Required Holders; provided that no such action may increase the exercise price of any Warrant or decrease the number of shares or class of stock obtainable upon exercise of any Warrant without the written consent of the Holder. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Warrants then outstanding.

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada.

(c) to the extent, if any, not included in clause (a) above, all products severed or extracted from the ground and all Accounts, General Intangibles and products and Proceeds thereof or related thereto, regardless of whether any such products are in raw form or processed for sale and regardless of whether or not Debtor had an interest in such products before extraction or severance;

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

In order to induce Secured Party to accept this Security Agreement, Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party (which representations and warranties will survive the creation of the Secured Obligations and any other extension of credit under the Convertible Note) that:

 

2.2 Ownership and Liens. Except for the security interest of Secured Party granted in this Security Agreement, the security interest of other parties who have executed Subscription Agreements for the Convertible Notes, and other Permitted Liens, Debtor owns good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any other Liens. Debtor has full right, power and authority to grant to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral provided by Debtor in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any other Liens, adverse claims and options other than Permitted Liens. No other Lien created by Debtor or is known by Debtor to exist with respect to any Collateral; and to the best of such Debtor’s information and belief, no financing statement or other security instrument is on file in any jurisdiction covering such Collateral, other than those in favor of Secured Party and other Permitted Liens. At the time the security interest in favor of Secured Party attaches, good and marketable title to all after-acquired Property included within the Collateral provided by Debtor, free and clear of any other Liens, other than Permitted Liens, will be vested in Debtor.

 

 
3

 

 

2.3 Status of Accounts. Each Account of Debtor now existing represents, and each Account of Debtor hereafter arising will represent, the valid and legally enforceable indebtedness of a bona fide account debtor arising from the sale or lease or rendition by Debtor of goods and/or services and is not and will not be subject to contra accounts, set-offs, defenses or counterclaims by or available to account debtors obligated on the Accounts of Debtor except as disclosed to Secured Party in writing or where any such contra account, set-off, defense or counterclaim could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; such goods will have been delivered to, or be in the process of being delivered to, and such services will have been rendered by Debtor to the account debtor and accepted by the account debtor; and the amount shown as to each Account of Debtor on Debtor’s books will be the true and undisputed amount owing and unpaid thereon, subject to any discounts, allowances, rebates, credits and adjustments to which the account debtor has a right and which have been disclosed to Secured Party in writing or which could not reasonable result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.4 Status of Related Rights. All Related Rights of Debtor are, and those hereafter arising will be, valid and genuine.

 

2.5 Location. Debtor’s chief executive office and chief place of business is located at the address set forth in the opening paragraph of this Security Agreement. The office where Debtor keeps its records concerning the Accounts of Debtor and the General Intangibles of Debtor and the original of all the Related Rights of Debtor has the same address as Debtor’s chief executive office and chief place of business. No Equipment and/or Inventory is covered by a certificate of title (other than certain motor vehicles and aircraft) pursuant to applicable law. The jurisdiction of organization for Debtor is the State of Nevada.

 

2.6 Secured Party’s Security Interest. This Security Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in the Collateral provided by Debtor securing the Secured Obligations. All filings (which filings with Governmental Authorities are described in Article IV of this Security Agreement) and other actions necessary to perfect or protect such security interest have been duly or will be promptly taken by Debtor. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration or other public notice of such security interest is necessary in any governmental office or jurisdiction in order to perfect such security interest or to continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or for filings upon the occurrence of any of the events stated in Section 4.10 of this Security Agreement. Such perfected security interest in the Collateral constitutes a first-priority (except as to Permitted Liens) security interest under the Code.

 

ARTICLE III

 

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

 

A deviation from the provisions of this Article IV shall not constitute a default under this Security Agreement if such deviation is consented to in writing by Secured Party. Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Article IV, from the date hereof and for so long as any part of the Secured Obligations is outstanding.

Debtor recognizes that one or more financing statements pertaining to the Collateral provided by Debtor will be filed in one or more filing offices. Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party of any condition or event that may change the proper location for the filing of any financing statements or other public notice or recordings for the purpose of perfecting a security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor will (a) promptly notify Secured Party of any change (i) in the location of the office where such Debtor keeps its records concerning its Accounts or (ii) in the “location” of such Debtor within the meaning set forth in the Code or the jurisdiction in which Debtor is incorporated, organized or formed; (b) prior to any of the Collateral provided by Debtor becoming so related to any particular real estate so as to become a fixture on such real estate, notify Secured Party of the description of such real estate and the name of the record owner thereof, to the extent such real estate is not already encumbered in favor or for the benefit of Secured Party to secure the Secured Obligations; and (c) promptly notify Secured Party of any change in Debtor’s name, identity or structure. In any notice furnished pursuant to this paragraph, Debtor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Security Agreement and contains facts that will or may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purpose of continuing perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral. Further, Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file, at the expense of such Debtor, any and all financing statements, pursuant to Article 9 of the Code, as Secured Party deems necessary, in its sole discretion, in conjunction with this Security Agreement.

 

ARTICLE IV


RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND WARRANTIES

 

4.1 With Respect to Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party is hereby fully authorized and empowered (without the necessity of any further consent or authorization from Debtor) and the right is expressly granted to Secured Party, and Debtor hereby constitutes, appoints and makes Secured Party, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for it and in its name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, in Secured Party’s name or Debtor’s name or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Secured Party and the other Secured Creditors, but at Debtor’s cost and expense, to exercise, without notice, all or any of the following powers at any time with respect to all or any of the Collateral:

 

(a) to notify account debtors or the obligors on the Accounts, the General Intangibles and the Related Rights to make and deliver payment to Secured Party;

 

(b) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due by virtue thereof and otherwise deal with proceeds;

 

(c) to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver any and all checks, notes, drafts, Documents and other negotiable and non-negotiable Instruments and Chattel Paper taken or received by Secured Party in connection therewith;

 

(d) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

 

(e) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same or the Proceeds or avails thereof or the relative goods, as fully and effectively as if Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof; and

 

 
5

 

 

(f) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to grant waivers and make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto; provided, however, Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to exercise any of the powers hereby conferred upon it and shall be without liability for any act or failure to act in connection with the collection of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Collateral.

 

4.2 Default Remedies. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may then, or at any time thereafter and from time to time, apply, set-off, collect, sell in one or more sales, lease, or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any brokers’ board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, at such price as Secured Party may deem fair, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and may hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Debtor or right of redemption. No such purchase or holding by Secured Party shall be deemed a retention by Secured Party in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. All demands, notices and advertisements and the presentment of Property at sale are hereby waived. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any applicable provision of the Code or other law requires Secured Party to give reasonable notice of any such sale or disposition or other action, Debtor hereby agrees that twenty days’ prior written notice shall constitute reasonable notice. Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Debtor. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party.

 

4.3 Proceeds. After the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral and all sums received or collected by Secured Party from or on account of the Collateral shall be applied by Secured Party to the Secured Obligations.

 

4.4 Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred upon Secured Party by this Security Agreement are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties. Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Secured Obligations or Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Secured Party be under any duty to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Secured Party shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession, but need not take any steps to keep the Collateral identifiable. Secured Party shall have no duty to comply with any recording, filing or other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority or enforceability of, or Secured Party’s rights in or to, any of the Collateral.

 

 
6

 

 

4.5 Secured Party’s Actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any Person, exhaust any Collateral or pursue any other remedy in Secured Party’s power, and Debtor waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement or of creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Secured Obligations from time to time. All dealings between Debtor and Secured Party, whether or not resulting in the creation of the Secured Obligations, shall conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Security Agreement. Until all the Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the commitments of the Lenders terminated, Debtor shall not have any right to subrogation, and Debtor waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Secured Party. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Secured Obligations, from time to time to (a) take and hold any other Property as collateral, other than the Collateral, as security for any or all of the Secured Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of the Collateral or such other Property to the Secured Obligations; and (b) apply the Collateral or such other Property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party in its discretion may determine, subject, however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and any applicable intercreditor agreement with any Secured Creditor.

 

4.6 Transfer of Secured Obligations and Collateral. Any of the Secured Obligations may be transferred, in whole or in part, and upon any such transfer, Secured Party may transfer any or all of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability with respect to the Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect to Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Secured Party shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. Secured Party may at any time deliver any or all of the Collateral to Debtor, whose receipt shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party shall thereafter be discharged from any liability therefor.

 

4.7 Cumulative Security. The execution and delivery of this Security Agreement in no manner shall impair or affect any other security (by endorsement or otherwise) for the Secured Obligations. No security taken hereafter as security for the Secured Obligations shall impair in any manner or affect this Security Agreement. All such present and future additional security is to be considered as cumulative security.

 

4.8 Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing Security Agreement and the grant of a security interest hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist until the Secured Obligations are paid in full as the same become due and payable; until Secured Party, upon request of Debtor, has executed a written termination statement, reassigned to Debtor, without recourse, the Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby and returned possession of the Collateral in its possession to Debtor.

 

4.9 Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party. Furthermore, regardless of whether or not the Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, powers and remedies are asserted, Secured Party shall have the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Secured Party may exercise its bankers’ lien or right of set-off with respect to the Secured Obligations in the same manner as if the Secured Obligations were unsecured.

 

 
7

 

 

4.10 Exercise of Rights. Time shall be of the essence for the performance by Debtor of any act under this Security Agreement or in respect of the Secured Obligations, but neither Secured Party’s acceptance of partial or delinquent payments nor any forbearance, failure or delay by Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy shall be deemed a waiver of any obligation of Debtor or of any right, power or remedy of Secured Party or preclude any other or further exercise thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

4.11 Remedy and Waiver. Secured Party may remedy any Default and may waive any Default without waiving the Default remedied or waiving any prior or subsequent Default.

 

4.12 Non-Judicial Remedies. Secured Party may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any and all legal rights which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Secured Party from resorting to judicial process at its option.

In this event (and in addition to all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement), Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Personal Property Security Registration System in effect in the province in which Borrower's principal place of business and/or the Collateral is located and under other applicable laws.

Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Lender to the payment of Liquidation Costs and any balance of such proceeds will be applied by Lender to the payment of the remaining Obligations or sums due under the Loan Documents in such order and manner of application as Lender may from time to time in its sole discretion determine.

 

10. Deficiency. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the Obligations in connection with the Term Loan, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency.

11. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of Lender as provided for in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents or existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents or existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lender of any one or more of such rights powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender of any or all such other rights powers or remedies.

 

12. Waiver. No failure by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Agreement or of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant or agreement of any such breach, or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times.

b. Disability. Upon the cessation of the Award Recipient's employment due to Disability, any Option held by such individual that was exercisable immediately before the Termination of Employment due to Disability shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Award Recipient's Termination of Employment (or, in the case of any ISO held by an Award Recipient who is Disabled, the first anniversary of the Award Recipient's Termination of Employment) and (ii) the expiration of the Term of the Option.

 

 
10

 

 

c. Death. Upon the Award Recipient's death (whether during his or her employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate or during any otherwise applicable post-termination exercise period, which in the case of an ISO, shall not exceed three (3) months), any Option held by such individual that was exercisable immediately before the Termination of Employment shall continue to be exercisable by the Beneficiary(ies) of the decedent, until the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of the Award Recipient's death and (ii) the expiration of the Term of the Option.

 

d. Other Terminations of Employment. Upon the Award Recipient's Termination of Employment for any reason other than Retirement, Disability, death or for Cause, any Option held by such individual that was exercisable immediately before the Termination of Employment shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the three-month period following the Award Recipient's Termination of Employment and (ii) the expiration of the Term of the Option.

 

e. Extension or Reduction of Exercise Period. In any of the foregoing circumstances, subject to Section 8, the Committee may extend or shorten the exercise period, but may not extend any such period beyond the Term of the Option as originally established (or, insofar as this paragraph relates to Stock Appreciation Rights, the Term of the SAR Award as originally established). Further, with respect to ISOs, as a condition of any such extension, the holder shall be required to deliver to the Corporation a release which provides that such individual will hold the Corporation and/or Affiliates harmless with respect to any adverse tax consequences the individual may suffer by reason of any such extension.

 

B. Stock Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the provisions of this subsection subject to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate. The Term of each SAR Award shall be fixed by the Committee and the maximum Term of each SAR Award shall be ten (10) years. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the Award Recipient a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess (if any) of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right Award as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the grant price, Term, manner of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement (cash, Shares or a combination thereof) and any other terms and conditions of any SAR Award. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any SAR Award as it may deem appropriate. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Award Agreement, any SAR Award must be exercised during the period of the Award Recipient's employment with the Corporation or Affiliate, provided that the provisions of Section 6(A)(4)(a)-(e) hereof shall apply for purposes of determining the exercise period in the event of the Award Recipient's Retirement, Disability, death or other Termination of Employment.

 

 
11

 

 

C. Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may make Restricted Stock Awards to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the provisions of this subsection subject to such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate.

 

1. Nature of Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions, including Performance Measures, as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate. Subject to the Committee's authority under Section 6(C)(3) below, the minimum Restriction Period with respect to a Restricted Stock Award that is subject to restrictions that are Performance Measures shall be one (1) year, and the minimum Restriction Period with respect to a Restricted Stock Award that is subject to restrictions that are not Performance Measures shall be three (3) years. The Committee may, as of the Date of Grant, designate an Award of Restricted Stock that is subject to Performance Measures as a Qualified Performance-Based Award.

 

2. Stock Certificates. Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by the issuance of a stock certificate(s), which shall be held by the Corporation. Such certificate(s) shall be registered in the name of the Award Recipient and shall bear an appropriate legend which refers to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award. Alternatively, shares of Restricted Stock under the Plan may be recorded in book entry form.

 

3. Forfeiture; Delivery of Shares. Except as may be otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, upon an Award Recipient's Termination of Employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable Restriction Period, all Shares of Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited and revert to the Corporation; provided, however, that the Committee may waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Award. Shares comprising any Restricted Stock Award held by the Corporation that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered to the Award Recipient (or his or her Beneficiary) promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived.

 

 
12

 

 

D. Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Individuals, subject to Section 8 hereof and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate. A Restricted Stock Unit shall represent an unfunded, unsecured right to receive one Share or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share.

 

1. Nature of Restrictions. Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be subject to such restrictions, including Performance Measures, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate. Subject to the Committee's authority under Section 6(D)(3) below, the minimum Restriction Period with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award that is subject to restrictions that are Performance Measures shall be one (1) year, and the minimum Restriction Period with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award that is subject to restrictions that are not Performance Measures shall be three (3) years. The Committee may, as of the Date of Grant, designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award.

 

2. Rights as a Stockholder. An Eligible Individual to whom Restricted Stock Units are granted shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to the Share represented by the Restricted Stock Unit Award. If so determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, Restricted Stock Units may include a dividend equivalent right, pursuant to which the Award Recipient will either receive cash amounts (either paid currently or on a contingent basis) equivalent to the dividends and other distributions payable with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Restricted Stock Units, or additional Restricted Stock Units with a Fair Market Value equal to such dividends and other distributions, as specified in the Award Agreement. Dividend equivalent rights that the Committee determines are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid or settled in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

 

3. Forfeiture/Settlement. Except as may be otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, upon an Award Recipient's Termination of Employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining vesting requirements or restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. Subject to Section 11(D) hereof, an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Shares as and when the Restricted Stock Units vest or at a later time permitted under Section 8 hereof and specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement.

 

E. Performance Awards. The Committee may grant Performance Awards (designated as Qualified Performance-Based Awards or not) to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(E), subject to Section 8 hereof and such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate. A Performance Award granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Shares), other securities, other Awards, or other property, and (ii) shall confer on the Award Recipient the right to receive a dollar amount or number of Shares upon the attainment of Performance Measures during any Performance Period, as established by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Performance Measures to be achieved during any Performance Period, the length of any Performance Period and the amount of any payment or number of Shares in respect of a Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee.

 

 
13

 

 

F. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(F), subject to Section 8 hereof and such other additional terms and conditions, including Performance Measures, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. Other Stock-Based Awards may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan.

 

G. General. Except as otherwise specified in the Plan or an applicable Award Agreement, the following provisions shall apply to Awards granted under the Plan:

 

1. Consideration for Awards. Other than the payment of the exercise price or grant price in connection with the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, Awards shall be made without monetary consideration or for such minimal monetary consideration as may be required by applicable law.

 

2. Forms of Payment under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers of Shares to be made by the Corporation or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise or satisfaction of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof), and may be made in a single payment or transfer, or in installments, and may be made upon vesting or such later date permitted under Section 8 hereof and specified in the applicable Award Agreement, and, in each case, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments.

 

3. Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by an Award Recipient otherwise than by will or by the laws of intestacy; provided, however, that, an Award Recipient may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a Beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Award Recipient and to receive any property distributable with respect to any Award upon the death of the Award Recipient. Each Award or right under any Award shall be exercisable during the Award Recipient's lifetime only by the Award Recipient or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Award Recipient's guardian or legal representative. No Award or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Corporation or any Affiliate.

 

 
14

 

 

4. Term of Awards. Subject to any specific provisions of the Plan, the term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee.

 

5. Securities Law Restrictions. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, OTC Markets, Inc., any other exchange on which Shares may be eligible to be traded or any applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

6. Deferring Awards. Under no circumstances may an Award Recipient elect to defer, until a time or times later than the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right or the settlement or distribution of Shares or cash in respect of other Awards, receipt of all or a portion of the Shares or cash subject to such Award, or dividends and dividend equivalents payable thereon.

 

SECTION 7
QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

 

A. Section 162(m) Exemption. The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder to any Award Recipient who is or may be a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) or otherwise subject to Section 162(m) in the tax year in which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is expected to be deductible to the Corporation qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and all such Awards shall therefore be considered Qualified Performance-Based Awards and this Plan shall be interpreted and operated consistent with that intention (including, without limitation, to require that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of members who satisfy the requirements for being "outside directors" for purposes of the Section 162(m) Exemption ("Outside Directors")). When granting any Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination that (i) the recipient is or may be a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) or otherwise subject to Section 162(m) with respect to such Award, and (ii) the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and the terms of any such Award (and of the grant thereof) shall be consistent with such designation (including, without limitation, that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of Outside Directors).

 

 
15

 

 

B. Limitation on Amendment. Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the achievement of one or more Performance Measures, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate, and no Qualified Performance-Based Award may be amended, nor may the Committee exercise any discretionary authority it may otherwise have under this Plan with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award, in any manner that would cause the Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption; provided, however, that (i) the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant of the applicable Award or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such Performance Measure will be waived upon the death or Disability of the Award Recipient (or under any other circumstance with respect to which the existence of such possible waiver will not cause the Award to fail to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption), and (ii) any rights to vesting or accelerated payment on a Change of Control shall apply notwithstanding this Section 7(B).

 

C. Maximum Cash Award. For purposes of the Section 162(m) Exemption, the maximum amount of compensation payable with respect to an Award granted under the Plan to any Award Recipient who is a "covered employee" (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) that is denominated as a dollar amount will not exceed $____________ for any calendar year.

 

D. Limitation on Action by the Full Board. The full Board shall not be permitted to exercise authority granted to the Committee to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause an Award designated as a Qualified Performance-Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to qualify for, the Section 162(m) Exemption.

 

SECTION 8
SECTION 409A OF THE CODE

 

It is the intention of the Corporation that no Award shall be "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. If the Committee determines that an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, then the Award shall be paid or settled only upon the Award Recipient's death, Disability, or Separation from Service, or upon a Change of Control, or upon such date(s) or pursuant to a schedule designated by the Committee, as specified in the applicable Award Agreement, subject to the following provisions:

 

 
16

 

 

1. Delay for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or the terms of an Award Agreement to the contrary, an Award that is granted to a Specified Employee and that is to be paid or settled upon such Specified Employee's Separation from Service shall not be paid or settled prior to the earlier of (i) the first business date following six months after the date of such Specified Employee's Separation from Service or (ii) the Specified Employee's death.

 

2. Distribution in the Event of Income Inclusion Under Code Section 409A. If an Award fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Award Recipient may receive payment in connection with the Award before the Award would otherwise be paid, provided, however, that the amount paid to the Award Recipient shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the amount payable under such Award, or (ii) the amount to be reported pursuant to Section 409A of the Code on the applicable Form W-2 (or Form 1099) as taxable income to the Award Recipient.

 

3. Distribution Necessary to Satisfy Applicable Tax Withholding. If the Corporation is required to withhold amounts to pay the Award Recipient’s portion of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) or 3121(v)(2) with respect to an amount that is or will be paid to the Award Recipient under the Award before the amount otherwise would be paid, the Committee may withhold an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount payable under such Award, or (ii) the aggregate of the FICA taxes imposed and the income tax withholding related to such amount.

 

4. Delay in Payments Subject to Code Section 162(m). In the event the Corporation reasonably anticipates that the payment of benefits under an Award would result in the loss of the Corporation's Federal income tax deduction with respect to such payment due to the application of Code Section 162(m), the Committee may delay the payment of all such benefits under the Award until (i) the first taxable year in which the Corporation reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment were made during such year, the deduction of such payment would not be barred by application of Code Section 162(m) or (ii) during the period beginning with the date of the Award Recipient's Separation from Service (or, for Specified Employees, the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Award Recipient's Separation from Service) and ending on the later of (A) the last day of the taxable year of the Corporation which includes such date or (B) the 15th day of the third month following the date of the Award Recipient's Separation from Service (or, for Specified Employees, the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Award Recipient's Separation from Service).

 

5. Delay for Payments in Violation of Federal Securities Laws or Other Applicable Law. In the event the Corporation reasonably anticipates that the payment of benefits under an Award would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, the Committee may delay the payment until the earliest date at which the Corporation reasonably anticipates that making of such payment would not cause such violation.

 

 
17

 

 

6. Delay for Insolvency or Compelling Business Reasons. In the event the Corporation determines that the making of any payment of benefits on the date specified under an Award would jeopardize the ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern, the Committee may delay the payment of benefits until the first calendar year in which the Corporation notifies the Committee that the payment of benefits would not have such effect.

 

7. Administrative Delay in Payment. In the case of administrative necessity, the payment of benefits under an Award may be delayed up to the later of the last day of the calendar year in which payment would otherwise be made or the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date on which payment would otherwise be made. Further, if, as a result of events beyond the control of the Award Recipient (or following the Award Recipient's death, the Award Recipient's Beneficiary), it is not administratively practicable to calculate the amount of benefits due to the Award Recipient as of the date on which payment would otherwise be made, the payment may be delayed until the first calendar year in which calculation of the amount is administratively practicable.

 

8. No Award Recipient Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the period during which payment of benefits under an Award will be made occurs, or will occur, in two calendar years, the Award Recipient shall not be permitted to elect the calendar year in which the payment shall be made.

 

SECTION 9
WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

 

The Corporation will, as permitted by applicable law, withhold an amount no less than the minimum and no more than the maximum statutory Canadian, US Federal, state, province and/or local withholding taxes (or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment for the Corporation) no later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of an Award Recipient for Canadian, US Federal, state, province local or foreign income or employment or other tax. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, each Award Recipient may satisfy any such tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means: (i) a cash payment; (ii) by delivery to the Corporation of already-owned Shares which have been held by the individual for at least six (6) months having a Fair Market Value, as of the Tax Withholding Date, sufficient to satisfy the amount of the withholding tax obligation arising from an exercise or vesting of an Award; (iii) by authorizing the Corporation to withhold from the Shares otherwise issuable to the individual pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award, a number of shares having a Fair Market Value, as of the Tax Withholding Date, which will satisfy the amount of the withholding tax obligation; or (iv) by a combination of such methods of payment. If the amount requested is not paid, the Corporation may refuse to satisfy the Award. The obligations of the Corporation under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Corporation and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Award Recipient. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Shares.

 

 
18

 

 

SECTION 10
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

A. Amendments to and Termination of the Plan. The Committee or the Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan at any time by written resolution, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of the Award Recipients with respect to a previously granted Award without such Award Recipient's consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code, stock exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Corporation's stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law (including Section 422 of the Code) or the listing standards of the applicable stock exchange.

 

B. Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 6(H), the Committee may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, but no such amendment shall cause a Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption or, without the Award Recipient's consent, materially impair the rights of any Award Recipient with respect to an Award, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules. Furthermore, no amendment may be made to a NQSO Award or a SAR Award which would cause the exercise price or the grant price (as applicable) to be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the Date of Grant except as provided in Section 3(D).

 

C. Payment of Benefits Upon Termination of Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, the Corporation may settle any outstanding Award that is not subject to Code Section 409A as soon as is practicable following such termination and may settle any outstanding Award that is subject to Code Section 409A in accordance with one of the following:

 

1. the termination and liquidation of the Plan within twelve (12) months of a complete dissolution of the Corporation taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1)(A); provided that the amounts deferred under this Plan are included in the Participants' gross incomes in the latest of the following years (or, if earlier, the taxable year in which the amount is actually or constructively received): (i) the calendar year in which the Plan is terminated; (ii) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

 

 
19

 

 

2. the termination and liquidation of the Plan pursuant to irrevocable action taken by the Committee or the Corporation within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control; provided that all Aggregated Plans are terminated and liquidated with respect to each Participant that experienced the Change of Control, so that under the terms of the termination and liquidation, all such Participants are required to receive all amounts of deferred compensation under this Plan and any other Aggregated Plans within twelve (12) months of the date the Committee or the Corporation irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and liquidate this Plan and the Committee or the Corporation, as the case may be, takes all necessary action to terminate and liquidate such other Aggregated Plans;

 

3. the termination and liquidation of the Plan, provided that: (i) the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the Corporation's financial health; (2) the Committee or the Corporation, as the case may be, terminates and liquidates all Aggregated Plans; (3) no payments in liquidation of this Plan are made within twelve (12) months of the date the Committee or the Corporation irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and liquidate this Plan, other than payments that would be payable under the terms of this Plan if the action to terminate and liquidate this Plan had not occurred; (4) all payments are made within twenty four (24) months of the date on which the Committee or the Corporation irrevocably takes all action necessary to terminate and liquidate this Plan; and (5) the Corporation does not adopt a new Aggregated Plan at any time within three (3) years following the date on which the Committee or the Corporation irrevocably takes all action necessary to terminate and liquidate the Plan.

 

SECTION 11
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

A. Conditions for Issuance. The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Corporation in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or Award Agreements made pursuant thereto, with respect to any Award other than an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (i) listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the applicable stock exchange; (ii) any registration or other qualification of such Shares of the Corporation under any state or Federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and (iii) obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or Federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable, and, with respect to any Award that is subject to Code Section 409A, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan if the Corporation reasonably anticipates that such issuance or delivery would violate applicable Federal securities laws or other applicable law, provided the Corporation issues or delivers the Shares at the earliest date on which the Corporation reasonably anticipates that such issuance or delivery would not cause such violation.

 

 
20

 

 

B. Additional Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees. Participation in the Plan shall not affect an individual's eligibility to participate in any other benefit or incentive plan of the Corporation.

 

C. No Contract of Employment or Rights to Awards. The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time. No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to receive an Award under the Plan. Receipt of an Award shall not confer upon the Award Recipient any rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to such Award except as specifically provided in the Agreement relating to the Award.

 

D. Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the reinvestment of dividend equivalent rights in additional Restricted Stock Units payable in Shares shall only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that sufficient Shares are not available, such reinvestment of dividends and dividend equivalent rights shall be made in the form of a grant of Restricted Stock Units equal in number to the Shares that would have been obtained by such reinvestment and the terms of which Restricted Stock Units shall provide for settlement in cash.

 

E. Subsidiary Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a Subsidiary of the Corporation, the Corporation may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the employee in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled shall revert to the Corporation.

 

 
21

 

 

F. Governing Law and Interpretation. The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except to the extent preempted by Federal law. To the extent that any Award is subject to Code Section 409A, the terms of the Award Agreement and this Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and the Regulations and interpretative guidance promulgated thereunder. The captions of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

 

G. Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations. The Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Corporation to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

 

H. Expenses. The expenses of the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation.

 

I. Acceptance of Terms. By accepting an Award under the Plan or payment pursuant to any Award, each Award Recipient, legal representative and Beneficiary shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his or her acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Committee or the Corporation. A breach by any Award Recipient, his or her Beneficiary(ies), or legal representative, of any restrictions, terms or conditions contained in the Plan, any Award Agreement, or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Award will, unless waived in whole or in part by the Committee, cause a forfeiture of such Award.

 

J. Vesting. Subject to Section 4(A) of this Plan, and except as otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, full value equity awards under this Plan that are based on time vesting shall have a minimum vesting period of three years, and full value equity awards under this Plan that are based on performance vesting shall have a minimum vesting period of one year.
