Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, and supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training. Our business units are described below.

 

  Ø Digipath Labs, Inc. Digipath Labs’ mission is to provide pharmaceutical-grade analysis and testing to the cannabis industry, under ISO-17025:2017 guidelines, to ensure consumers and patients know exactly what is in the cannabis they ingest and to help maximize the quality of our clients’ products through research, development, and standardization. Digipath has been operating a cannabis-testing lab in Nevada since 2015 and has plans to open labs in other states and countries that have legalized the sale of cannabis, beginning with California.
     
  Ø GroSciences, Inc. Launched during the first fiscal quarter of 2019 to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from cannabis through the testing process. GroSciences plans to develop and license specific formulations to other producers and product makers in the industry, and to market and sell its “Tru-Hemp ID” Kit which distinguishes industrial hemp from drug-type cannabis.
     
  Ø VSSL Enterprises, Ltd. Acquired in March 2020, and based in British Colombia, Canada, VSSL is a cannabis genomics, plant sciences and consulting firm that builds predictive tools for the cannabis industry, and uses molecular and bioinformatics tools to deliver unique solutions suited to its customers’ business models.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with GAAP and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which were under common control and ownership at March 31, 2020:

 

    Jurisdiction of

DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company and subsidiaries will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “Digipath” or “DIGP”. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its customers are within the United States.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of lab testing services through our subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc.

 

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products for licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our products consist of handheld devices used to test cannabis for THC, CBD and CBG levels under our GroSciences, Inc. subsidiary. We have not yet commenced sales of this product.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting this ASU for the six-month period ending March 31, 2020 or the year ended September 30, 2019.

DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.

 

The new standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before October 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.

 

The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. The new standard did not have a material impact.

 

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $15,785,230, and as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Acquisition from Affiliate

 

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VSSL Enterprises Ltd (“VSSL”), Kyle Joseph Remenda (“Remenda”), Philippe Olivier Henry, PhD (“Henry”), Audim Ventures Ltd. (“Audim”), and Britt Ash Enterprises Ltd. (“Britt Ash” and, together with Remenda, Henry and Audim, the “VSSL Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of VSSL’s outstanding shares of capital stock from the VSSL Stockholders for consideration consisting of 6,500,000 shares of Digipath’s common stock and a cash payment of $200,000. The closing of the acquisition occurred on March 11, 2020. The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $373,750 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of closing.

DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Mr. Remenda, who held 45% of the VSSL’s shares prior to its acquisition by the Company, is the CEO of VSSL and was appointed as Digipath’s Chief Executive Officer in September 2019 in connection with the execution of the binding letter of intent with respect to the Company’s acquisition of VSSL. In addition, Mr. Henry, who also held 45% of VSSL’s shares prior to its acquisition by the Company, was engaged as a consultant by Digipath in September 2019.

 

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase resulted in the recognition of $592,621 of goodwill reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. According to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

 

    March 11,  
    2020  
Consideration:        
Cash   $ 200,000  
Fair value of 6,500,000 shares of common stock     373,750  
Liabilities assumed     20,600  
Total consideration   $ 594,350  
         
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired assumed:        
Cash   $ 143  
Accounts receivable     1,585  
Total fair value of assets assumed     1,729  
Consideration paid in excess of fair value (Goodwill)(1)   $ 592,621  

 

(1)The consideration paid in excess of the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recognized as goodwill.

 

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s leases its operating and office facilities, and sub-leases one of the units, under non-cancelable real property lease agreements that expire on May 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company also has a financing lease for lab equipment subject to the recently adopted ASU 2016-02. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects to enter into a new lease upon expiration. The operating and office facility leases contain provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Note 15 - Income Tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $13,400,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.

 

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

 

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued.

 

PPP Loan

 

On May 13, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc., borrowed $179,920 from WebBank Corp (“Lender”), pursuant to a Promissory Note issued by Digipath Labs to Lender (the “PPP Note”). The loan was made pursuant to the Payroll Protection Program established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Note bears interest at 1.00% per annum, payable monthly beginning December 13, 2020, and is due on May 13, 2022. The PPP Note may be repaid at any time without penalty.

 

Under the Payroll Protection Program, the Company will be eligible for loan forgiveness up to the full amount of the PPP Note and any accrued interest. The forgiveness amount will be equal to the amount that the Company spends during the 8-week period beginning May 13, 2020 on payroll costs, payment of rent on any leases in force prior to February 15, 2020 and payment on any utility for which service began before February 15, 2020. The maximum amount of loan forgiveness for non-payroll expenses is 25% of the amount of the PPP Note. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness under the PPP Note in whole or in part.

 

The PPP Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in a claim for the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Note.

 

Subscriptions Payable

 

On April 6, 2020 we issued 500,000 shares on subscriptions payable pursuant to an award dated, January 27, 2020, whereby the Company awarded 500,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for investor relations services to be performed from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020.

Overview

 

Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, and supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training. Our business units as of March 31, 2020 are described below.

 

  Ø Digipath Labs, Inc. Digipath Labs’ mission is to provide pharmaceutical-grade analysis and testing to the cannabis industry, under ISO-17025:2017 guidelines, to ensure consumers and patients know exactly what is in the cannabis they ingest and to help maximize the quality of our clients’ products through research, development, and standardization. Digipath has been operating a cannabis testing lab in Nevada since 2015 and has plans to open labs in other states and countries that have legalized the sale of cannabis, beginning with California.
     
  Ø GroSciences, Inc. Launched during the first fiscal quarter of 2019 to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from cannabis through the testing process. GroSciences plans to develop and license specific formulations to other producers and product makers in the industry, and to market and sell its “Tru-Hemp ID” Kit which distinguishes industrial hemp from drug-type cannabis.
     
  Ø VSSL Enterprises, Ltd. Acquired in March 2020, and based in British Colombia, Canada, VSSL is a cannabis genomics, plant sciences and consulting firm that builds predictive tools for the cannabis industry, and uses molecular and bioinformatics tools to deliver unique solutions suited to its customers’ business models. The acquisition resulted in $592,621 of goodwill, which will be evaluated for impairment at year-end. The operations did not have significant impact on the results of operations for Digipath, Inc. for the periods presented.

 

While the Company’s financial performance was not negatively impacted by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s cannabis testing operations have significantly declined following the end of the most recent quarter. This is due to the decline in the Nevada cannabis markets resulting in turn from the substantial decline in Nevada tourism resulting from COVID-19. Management is unable to predict when testing operations will revert to historical levels.

Cost of sales consists primarily of labor, depreciation, maintenance on lab equipment, and supplies consumed in our testing operations. The increased cost of sales in the current period was primarily due to increased labor related to turnover and competition for employees within the industry. Our gross margins of approximately 34% during the three months ended both March 31, 2020 and 2019, translated to $34,228 of increased gross profit in the current period. We intend to continue to automate processes through equipment enhancements to improve our margins, and implemented a new lab management system, and purchased a new triple quad machine on December 26, 2019 that we expect will help increase our testing capacity and decrease our variable costs.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $406,919, compared to $418,505 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $11,586, or 3%. The expenses consisted primarily of marketing, rent, salaries and wages, and travel expenses.

Professional fees included non-cash, stock-based compensation of $100,902 and $122,574 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Professional fees increased primarily due to increased legal fees associated with our acquisition of VSSL during the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

    2020     2019  
Operating Activities   $ (456,504 )   $ (690,634 )
Investing Activities     (335,648 )     (96,375 )
Financing Activities     558,384       1,125,000  
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash   $ (233,768 )   $ 337,991  

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $456,504, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $690,634 for the same period ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our decreased net loss.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $335,648, compared to $96,375 for the same period ended March 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to investments made for cannabis testing equipment and the purchase of VSSL Enterprises, Ltd. in the current period.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $558,384, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,125,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2019. The current period consisted primarily of $550,000 of proceeds received on convertible note financing and proceeds of $56,500 from the sale of stock, as offset by $35,387 of principal payments on an equipment lease and $12,729 of principal payments on an equipment loan, compared to $500,000 of proceeds received on convertible debt financing and $625,000 received from the sale of stock in the comparative period.

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2020, our balance of cash on hand was $89,971. We currently may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and expand our lab testing business. As we continue to develop our lab testing business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs.

 

25

 

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, and, as set forth above, the Company’s cash on hand is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation. In addition, additional financing may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue was recognized when the following criteria had been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

 

Our revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products for licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

27

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

We are not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

We have identified the following risk factor in addition to those included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Additional risks not presently known to us or other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact our business and the global economy. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to obtain financing when required.

 

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19 or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, customers, and other commercial partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, following the end of our most recent quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s cannabis testing operations significantly declined due to the decline in the Nevada cannabis markets resulting in turn from the substantial decline in Nevada tourism resulting from COVID-19. COVID-19 has also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which could impair our ability to raise capital when needed.

 

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

 

The following issuances of equity securities by the Company were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020:

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

On May 13, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc., borrowed $179,920 from WebBank Corp (“Lender”), pursuant to a Promissory Note issued by Digipath Labs to Lender (the “PPP Note”). The loan was made pursuant to the Payroll Protection Program established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Note bears interest at 1.00% per annum, payable monthly beginning December 13, 2020, and is due on May 13, 2022. The PPP Note may be repaid at any time without penalty.

 

Under the Payroll Protection Program, the Company will be eligible for loan forgiveness up to the full amount of the PPP Note and any accrued interest. The forgiveness amount will be equal to the amount that the Company spends during the 8-week period beginning May 13, 2020 on payroll costs, payment of rent on any leases in force prior to February 15, 2020 and payment on any utility for which service began before February 15, 2020. The maximum amount of loan forgiveness for non-payroll expenses is 25% of the amount of the PPP Note. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness under the PPP Note in whole or in part.

 

The PPP Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in a claim for the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Note.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DIGIPATH, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) with its principal executive office at 6450 Cameron Blvd., Suite 113, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118, promises to pay to the order of Elizabeth Parker or its registered assigns (the “Holder” or “Payee”), the principal amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Principal Amount”), on August 11, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as this Note is required or permitted to be repaid as provided hereunder, and to pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding Principal Amount of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

Each payment by the Company pursuant to this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds. The Company (i) waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note and (ii) agrees to pay to the Holder of this Note, on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement and collection of this Note.

 

This Note has been issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into between the Company and the Payee, and is secured by a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in favor of Payee covering certain collateral (the “Collateral”), all as more particularly described and provided therein, and is entitled to the benefits thereof. The Security Agreement and any and all other documents executed and delivered by the Company to Payee under which Payee is granted liens on assets of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Security Documents.” The security interests of Payee under the Security Agreement are subordinate to the security interests of the existing note holders of the Company pursuant to that certain Subordination and Consent Agreement of even date herewith.

Unless otherwise defined in this Note, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

1. Principal Repayment

 

A. Optional Prepayment. At any time from and after the Issue Date, the Company may prepay this Note, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

 

B. Notice of Prepayment. Before the Company shall be permitted to prepay this Note pursuant to 1A hereof, the Company shall provide ten (10) days prior notice to the Payee of its intent to make such prepayment, which notice shall state the date and amount of such prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”). The Payee shall have the option at any time prior to the Prepayment Date to elect to convert this Note pursuant to Section 5 below.

 

2. Computation and Payment of Interest.

 

A. Base Interest Rate. Subject to Sections 2B and 2C below, the outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of none (9%) percent per annum.

 

B. Penalty Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid Principal Amount shall be increased to fifteen (15%) percent per annum.

 

C. Maximum Rate. In the event that it is determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (“Applicable Usury Laws”), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Maximum Rate”), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident.

 

D. Payment of Interest. Interest shall be paid monthly on the first day of each month, beginning March 1, 2020, on the Maturity Date and each other date as the Principal Amount of this Note is repaid in cash as provided hereunder.

No remedy conferred in this Note upon any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereinafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

5. Conversion of Note.

 

A. Optional Conversion. The Holder of this Note shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date on which the Company makes payment in full of the Principal Amount of this Note in accordance herewith, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable thereunder to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest to be so converted the “Conversion Amount”) into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company at an initial conversion price per share equal to $0.15 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in subsection 5E below. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at the Conversion Price are referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares.”

 

6
     

 

B. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Holder may void the Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 5B upon 65 days prior notice to the Company or without any notice requirement upon an Event of Default.

 

C. Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Before the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5A, such holder shall give written notice to the Company in the form attached hereto as Annex A (“Conversion Notice”), at its principal corporate office, by email, facsimile or otherwise, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the Conversion Amount and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. On or before the third (3rd) business day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC, or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144.

 

(ii) All Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Note will, upon issuance, be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

D. Authorized Shares. At all times the Company shall have authorized and shall have reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes at the then effective Conversion Price. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at any time, the Conversion Price is decreased, the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon the conversion of this Note shall be proportionately increased.

 

7
     

 

E. Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Conversion Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

 

(i) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

(ii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (i) above, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Conversion Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price, as adjusted.

 

(iii) In case of any reorganization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (including any such reorganization, reclassification or change in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or of any sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person or entity, this Note shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note would have been converted prior to such transaction. The provisions of this subsection (iii) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers or sales immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale.

 

8
     

 

6. Amendments and Waivers.

 

The provisions of this Note may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, if such amendment, modification or supplement is in writing and consented to by the Company and the Holder. No failure or delay on the part of the Payee in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Payee shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Payee, and such payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently for any reason invalidated, set aside and/or required to be repaid by the Payee to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made by the Payee or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

7. Miscellaneous.

 

A. Parties in Interest. All covenants, agreements and undertakings in this Note binding upon the Company or the Payee shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the Payee, respectively, whether so express or not.

 

B. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

C. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PAYEE AND THE COMPANY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE PAYEE OR THE COMPANY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PAYEE’S PURCHASING THIS NOTE.

10. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may, without notice to or demand upon the Company, declare this Agreement to be in default, and the Secured Party shall thereafter have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or of any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located.

 

11. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Company, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Company acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Company or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 11.

12. No Waiver. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems expedient.

 

13. Waivers by Company. The Company waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Company assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Secured Party may deem advisable. The Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 9.2. The Company further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

 

14. Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

  5  

 

 

15. Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Company shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Secured Party in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Secured Party’s rights under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Secured Party may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Company, and the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Obligations.

 

16. Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Company hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral.

 

17. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA. The Company agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State or any federal court sitting therein and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Company by mail at the address specified in Section 5. The Company hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.

 

18. Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein.
