Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Business Organization

Monaker Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Monaker”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or “Company”) operate online marketplaces. We believe the most promising part of our business plan is the incorporation of Monaker’s proprietary Booking Engine and sizeable alternative lodging rental (ALR) properties into well-established marketplaces (i.e. a business-to-business (B2B) model) thereby facilitating easy access of alternative lodging rentals inventory to contracted global distributor partners.

The Company serves three major constituents: (1) property managers, (2) travelers, and (3) other travel/lodging distributors. Property managers integrate their detailed property listings into the Monaker Booking Engine with the goal of reaching a broad audience of travelers seeking ALRs, through distribution channels they could not access otherwise.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in the Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 29, 2020.

The results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending February 28, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These differences could have a material effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial position. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the fair value of investments, the carrying amounts of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, the valuation of stock options, and deferred income taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020.

Website Development Costs

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. All costs associated with the websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by “ASC 985-20-25” Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

1. Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results; 

2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and 

3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $104,226 and $73,451 during the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Convertible Debt Instruments

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The reclassification has no impact on the total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity and net loss for the period.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the customer has purchased the product, the occurrence of the earlier of date of travel or the date of cancellation has expired, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue for customer travel packages purchased directly from the Company are recorded gross (the amount paid to the Company by the customer is shown as revenue and the cost of providing the respective travel package is recorded to cost of revenues).

We generate our revenues from sales directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels of tours and activities at destinations throughout the world. We also generate revenue from commissions on bookings and sales of ancillary products and services.

Payments for tours or activities received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue at the earlier of the date of travel or the last date of cancellation (i.e., the customer’s refund privileges lapse).

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of cost of the tours and activities, commissions and merchant fees charged by credit card processors.

Selling and Promotions Expense

Selling and promotion expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.

Warrant Modifications

The Company treats a modification of the terms or conditions of an equity award in accordance with ASC Topic 718-20-35-3 by treating the modification as an exchange of the original award for a new award. In substance, the entity repurchases the original instrument by issuing a new instrument of equal or greater value, incurring additional compensation cost for any incremental value. Incremental compensation cost shall be measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award determined in accordance with the provisions of this Topic over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at that date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but it does provide guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, notes receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, related parties, line of credit and certain other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Going Concern

As of May 31, 2020, and February 29, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $117,901,844 and $115,852,897, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

We have very limited financial resources. We currently have a monthly cash requirement of approximately $385,000. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support the on-going operation and increased market penetration of our products including the development of national advertising relationships, and increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support current operations. We believe that in the aggregate, we could require several millions of dollars to support and expand the marketing and development of our travel products, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, office space and systems for managing the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from travel products are fully-implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. Our failure to obtain additional capital to finance our working capital needs on acceptable terms, or at all, will negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity. As of May 31, 2020, we had approximately $4,715,068 of current liabilities. We currently do not have the resources to satisfy these obligations, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern.

Management’s plans with regard to this going concern are as follows: the Company will continue to raise funds with third parties by way of public or private offerings, and management and members of the Board are working aggressively to increase the viewership of our products by promoting it across other mediums which we anticipate will result in higher revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate greater revenues. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Although we currently cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our second fiscal 2021 financial results or for the year ended February 28, 2021, we currently anticipate a significant decrease in year-over-year revenue (similar to the decrease in quarter-over-quarter revenue we experienced during the quarter ended May 31, 2020), which decreases we currently expect to continue throughout the remainder of fiscal 2021 and possibly beyond. However, the ultimate extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global travel and overall economic activity is unknown and impossible to predict at this time.

Separately, our capital requirements may increase in the near term and long-term due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting reduced demand for travel services, the increases in cancellations and re-bookings, and the extent to which such pandemic may further impact the ability of our customers to fulfill their payment obligations.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations since its contracts generally have an original expected term of one year or less and the Company recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company applies a practical expedient, as permitted within ASC 340, to expense as incurred the incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period of the asset that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less.

Leases

The Company utilizes operating leases for its offices. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-to-use assets, non-current, and operating lease liabilities current and non-current captions in the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-to-use assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease agreements may contain periods of free rent or reduced rent, predetermined fixed increases in the minimum rent and renewal or termination options, all impacting the determination of the lease term and lease payments to be used in calculating the lease liability. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease when determinable. As most of the Company’s leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, the Company uses a derived incremental borrowing rate based on borrowing options under its credit agreement. The Company applies a spread over treasury rates for the indicated term of the lease based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease.  

Recent Accounting Policies Adopted

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements [Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update)]. The new guidance requires entities that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We adopted this new guidance as of March 1, 2019.

The key difference between the previous guidance and the Update is the recognition of a right-to-use asset and lease liability on the statement of financial position for those leases previously classified as operating leases under the old guidance. Implementation of the Update will primarily impact the statement of financial position. It does not include provisions that would significantly impact the statements of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. Therefore, the operating right-to-use asset and operating lease liability were recorded on the balance sheet. There is no impact to retained earnings upon adoption. Our monthly rent payment is recorded as an expense on the straight-line basis on the statement of operations.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes accounts receivable, and available-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the new standard effective March 1, 2021 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (ASU 2020-01), which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, the accounting for equity method investments in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Note 2 – Notes Receivable, net

Current

$230,000 Promissory Note from Bettwork Industries Inc. 

On October 10, 2018, we entered into a Promissory Note with Bettwork Industries Inc. (“Bettwork”), a related party, in the amount of $200,000 which was amended and superseded by an Amended Promissory Note dated October 19, 2018, in the amount of $230,000 (the “Bettwork Note”). The Bettwork Note bears interest at 12% per year and matured on February 28, 2019. All interest and the principal balance are due and payable on the maturity date. The Bettwork Note includes a “Default Rate” of eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum and is secured by all of the outstanding preferred stock shares held by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bettwork (which provide for super-majority voting rights) and Bettwork is precluded from issuing additional shares of common stock or preferred stock without consent from Monaker. In November 2018, a payment of $40,000 was received and the outstanding principal balance of the Bettwork Note as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 is $190,000 and $190,000, respectively. An allowance for bad debt of $190,000 (i.e., 100%) was reserved against the Bettwork Note as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020; this amount was recognized as a bad debt expense and is included in general and administrative expenses.

On March 12, 2019, and effective on February 28, 2019, we and Bettwork entered into a First Amendment to Amended Promissory Note (the “Note Amendment”), which amended the Bettwork Note to: (a) extend the maturity date thereof from February 28, 2019 to August 31, 2019; (b) provide Monaker the right to convert the principal and accrued interest owed under the Bettwork Note into common stock of Bettwork at a conversion price of $0.75 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits and recapitalizations); and (c) provide that Bettwork is required to provide Monaker at least 10 days written notice before any prepayment of the Bettwork Note. The Note Amendment also included a beneficial ownership limit, prohibiting Monaker from converting the Bettwork Note, if doing so would result in Monaker (together with its affiliates and/or any persons acting as a group together with Monaker) beneficially owning more than 19.99% of Bettwork’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to such conversion, provided that, at the election of Monaker and with at least 61 days’ written notice to Bettwork, such beneficial ownership limitation may be decreased (but not increased) to whatever percentage Monaker may determine. The Bettwork Note had a balance of $190,000 at the time of the parties’ entry into the Note Amendment. Interest and principal had been paid through the date of the original maturity (in the amount of $40,000 of principal and $9,255 of interest as of February 28, 2019) and this Note Amendment is an extension to pay the principal, under the same terms and conditions as the Bettwork Note.

The Bettwork Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per year, payable on maturity. The Bettwork Note includes a “Default Rate” of eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum, is secured by all of the outstanding preferred stock shares held by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bettwork (which provides for super-majority voting rights) and Bettwork is precluded from issuing additional shares of common stock or preferred stock without consent from Monaker.

On October 10, 2019, and effective on August 31, 2019, we and Bettwork entered into the Second Amendment to Amended Promissory Note to extend the maturity date thereof from August 31, 2019 to February 29, 2020. All terms of the Bettwork Note remained unchanged. The Bettwork Note is currently in default.

$37,500 Promissory Note from Crystal Falls Investments LLC.

On January 13, 2020, we entered into a Promissory Note with Crystal Falls Investments LLC. (“Crystal” and the “Crystal Note”), a related party, in the amount of $37,500. The Crystal Note bears interest at 12% per year and matured on April 14, 2020. On April 16, 2020 and effective April 14, 2020, a first amendment to the Crystal Note was entered to extend the maturity date to August 14, 2020. All interest and the principal under the Crystal Note are due and payable on the maturity date. The Crystal Note includes a “Default Rate” of eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum and is secured by 2,000,000 shares of Bettwork’s common stock currently held in escrow. The Company has the right to elect at maturity of the Crystal Note to either take payment of the amount due (i) in cash, or (ii) pledged shares, or any combination of cash and shares. The outstanding principal balance of the Crystal Note as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 is $37,500 and $37,500, respectively.

Non-current

Conversion of $1,600,000 Promissory Note Into 2,133,333 Common Stock Shares of Bettwork Industries Inc. 

On November 21, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement and an addendum thereto (the “Purchase Addendum”) with A-Tech LLC (“A-Tech”) on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiary Parula Village Ltd. (“Parula”) whereby we purchased from A-Tech, through Parula, ownership of 12 parcels of land on Long Caye, Lighthouse Reef, Belize (the “Property”) for 240,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at a total of $1,500,000. As part of the same consideration, A-Tech agreed to construct 12 vacation rental residences on the Property within 270 days of closing of the transaction (the “Construction Obligation”); and the agreement provided that if the vacation rental residences were not completed within the 270 days, Monaker would cancel 12,000 shares, valued at $75,000 (of the previously issued 240,000 shares of restricted common stock) for each residence not completed. Additionally, in the event the average closing price of Monaker’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the 90th day after the closing of the transaction was less than $6.25 per share, Monaker was required to issue additional shares of restricted common stock such that the value of the shares issued to A-Tech totaled $1.5 million. On February 20, 2018 (the first business day following the 90th day after the closing), Monaker issued an additional 66,632 shares of common stock valued at $4.80 per share, for a total of $319,834, to meet the 90-day look-back provision for a guaranteed purchase price of $1.5 million. Bettwork and A-Tech share a common principal.

On May 31, 2018, Monaker and Bettwork entered into an agreement whereby Bettwork acquired the ‘right to own’ the Property from the Company in consideration for a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $1.6 million (the “Secured Note”). The amount owed under the Secured Note accrues interest at a fluctuating interest rate, based on the prime rate, and is due and payable on May 31, 2020. The repayment of the Secured Note is secured by a first priority security interest in the ‘right to own’ and subsequent to the exercise thereof, the Property. Bettwork may prepay the Secured Note at any time, subject to its obligation to provide the Company 15 days prior written notice prior to any prepayment. The Secured Note was convertible into shares of Bettwork’s common stock, at our option, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation. The conversion price of the Secured Note was $1.00 per share, unless, prior to the Secured Note being paid in full, Bettwork completed a capital raise or acquisition and issued common stock or common stock equivalents (including, but not limited to convertible securities) with a price per share (as determined in our reasonable discretion) less than the Conversion Price then in effect (each a “Transaction”), at which time the Conversion Price was to be adjusted to match such lower pricing structure associated with the Transaction (provided such repricing shall continue to apply to subsequent Transactions which occur prior to the Secured Note being paid in full as well). On July 2, 2018, this promissory note was exchanged for 2,133,333 shares of Bettwork’s common stock at $0.75 per share. The outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 is $0. A deferred gain liability of $1.6 million had been reserved against the Secured Note on May 31, 2018. Upon the exchange of the note for common stock shares of Bettwork, on July 2, 2018, the deferred gain liability reserve of $1.6 million was reversed and recognized in net income as other income, gain on sales of assets for the quarter ended August 31, 2018. Bettwork’s common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink market under the symbol “BETW”.

Conversion of $2,900,000 Promissory Note Into 3,866,667 Common Stock Shares of Bettwork Industries Inc. 

Effective on August 31, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bettwork. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we sold Bettwork:

Bettwork agreed to pay $2.9 million for the assets, payable in the form of a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “$2.9 Million Secured Note”). The amount owed under the $2.9 Million Secured Note accrues interest at the rate of (a) six percent per annum until the end of the last day of the month in which the sale occurred; and (b) the greater of (i) six percent per annum and (ii) the prime rate plus 3 3/4% per annum, thereafter through maturity, which maturity date is August 31, 2020, provided that the interest rate increases to twelve percent upon the occurrence of an event of default. As of May 31, 2020, and February 29, 2020, no interest income has been accrued.

Bettwork may prepay the $2.9 Million Secured Note at any time, subject to its obligation to provide us 15 days prior written notice prior to any prepayment. The $2.9 Million Secured Note is convertible into shares of Bettwork’s common stock, at our option, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation (which may be waived by us with at least 61 days prior written notice). The conversion price of the $2.9 Million Secured Note is $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”), unless, prior to the $2.9 Million Secured Note being paid in full, Bettwork completes a capital raise or acquisition and issues common stock or common stock equivalents (including, but not limited to convertible securities) with a price per share (as determined in our reasonable discretion) less than the Conversion Price then in effect (each a “Transaction”), at which time the Conversion Price will be adjusted to match such lower pricing structure associated with the Transaction (provided such repricing shall continue to apply to subsequent Transactions which occur prior to the Secured Note being paid in full as well). On July 2, 2018, this promissory note was exchanged for 3,866,667 shares of Bettwork’s common stock at $0.75 per share. The outstanding principal balance of the $2.9 Million Secured Note as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 is $0, and, an allowance of $2,900,000 (i.e., 100%) had been reserved against the $2.9 Million Secured Note since its inception on August 31, 2017, through the date of exchange. Upon the exchange of the note into common stock shares of Bettwork on July 2, 2018, the deferred gain liability reserve of $2.9 million was reversed and recognized in net income as other income, gain on sales of assets for the quarter ended August 31, 2018. Bettwork’s common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink market under the symbol “BETW”.

Note 3 – Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We assess the potential impairment of our equity method investments when indicators such as a history of operating losses, negative earnings and cash flow outlook, and the financial condition and prospects for the investee’s business segment might indicate a loss in value.

Verus International, Inc and NestBuilder.com Corp (OTCMKTS: VRUS)

We have recognized an impairment loss on investment in unconsolidated affiliate. As of May 31, 2020, and February 29, 2020, Monaker owned 16,345,101 shares of Verus International, Inc. (formerly known as RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“Verus”)) Series A Preferred Stock. This interest was written down to zero ($0) as of February 28, 2015.

On December 22, 2017, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Verus, NestBuilder.com Corp. (“Nestbuilder”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) relating to the dismissal with prejudice of certain pending lawsuits with Verus, including Case No.: 1:16-cv-24978- DLG in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. As part of the Settlement Agreement, Monaker agreed to pay Nestbuilder $100,000 and to issue 20,000 shares of Monaker’s restricted common stock to person(s) to be designated by Nestbuilder; Verus reinstated to Monaker 44,470,101 shares of Verus Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and ratified all rights under the Certificate of Designation as reformed and amended (to provide for a conversion ratio of 1 share of Verus common stock for each 1 share of Verus Series A preferred stock converted) and remove any dividend obligations. The Verus designation was also amended to provide us with anti-dilution protection below $0.05 per share. Also, as part of the Settlement Agreement, Monaker received 49,411 shares of common stock of Nestbuilder. The agreement further provided for each party to dismiss the above referenced lawsuits with prejudice and for general releases from each party.

On April 10, 2019 and effective on February 8, 2019, we entered into an Inducement Agreement with Verus. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, we agreed to amend the designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Verus (the “Series A Preferred Stock”)(of which we held 44,470,101 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of our entry into the Inducement Agreement, which converts into common stock of Verus, and votes on all stockholder matters, on a one-for-one basis, subject to the Ownership Blocker (discussed below)), to remove certain anti-dilution rights described therein; and Verus agreed to issue us 152,029,899 shares of its common stock (valued at approximately $2.2 million, based on a then current trading price of Verus’ common stock of approximately $0.015 per share), following Verus’ planned increase in authorized shares of common stock, pursuant to the anti-dilution rights of that certain Settlement Agreement by and among the Company, Verus, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC and NestBuilder.com Corp. executed on or about December 22, 2017, as previously disclosed. The designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, as amended, includes a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, preventing the Company from converting such Series A Preferred Stock into common stock of Verus (and reducing the voting rights of such preferred stock proportionally), if upon such conversion, the Company, its affiliates and/or any group which it is a part of, would own greater than 9.99% of Verus’ common stock (the “Ownership Blocker”).

6,142,856 shares of Bettwork Industries Inc. Common Stock (formerly OTC Pink: BETW)

On July 2, 2018, three Secured Convertible Promissory Notes aggregating $5,250,000 (as described in “Note 2 – Note Receivable”), evidencing amounts we were owed by Bettwork, were exchanged for 7,000,000 shares of Bettwork’s common stock at $0.75 per share for a fair value of $5,250,000 as of July 2, 2018. Bettwork’s common stock had a readily determinable fair value as it was quoted on the OTC Pink market under the symbol “BETW”.

On November 29, 2018 and December 6, 2018, the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with each of (a) the Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust, of which Donald Monaco is the trustee and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company; and (b) Charcoal Investment Ltd, which entity is owned by Simon Orange, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, respectively (collectively, the “Purchasers” and the “Stock Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed to sell each of the Purchasers 428,572 shares of restricted common stock (857,144 in total) of Bettwork, which the Company then held (out of the 7 million shares of restricted common stock obtained by the Company pursuant to that certain Debt Conversion Agreement entered into with Bettwork, dated July 3, 2018, as previously disclosed) for an aggregate of $300,000 ($600,000 in total), or $0.70 per share. The purchase price for the Bettwork shares was determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, based on among other things, the then recent trading prices of Bettwork’s common stock on the OTC Pink Market, as publicly reported. As additional consideration for entering into the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Company granted each of the Purchasers an option to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of Bettwork for $700,000 ($0.70 per share), which option is exercisable by the applicable Purchaser at any time prior to the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the closing date of the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement. The allocation of the original acquisition price to the shares purchased by the Monaco Trust resulted in a realized loss on the sale of marketable securities of $21,429. The allocation of the original acquisition price to the shares purchased by Charcoal resulted in a realized loss on the sale of marketable securities of $21,429.

As of August 31, 2018 (the end of the last fiscal quarter prior to the entry into the Stock Purchase Agreements), the Company had valued the above-noted shares of Bettwork’s common stock at the stock’s trading price which was $0.70 per share. The carrying value of the Bettwork shares have been marked to market at the end of each reporting period through May 31, 2020.

On February 29, 2020, the shares of Bettwork’s common stock were trading at $0.25 per share which decreased the fair value of the 6,142,856 remaining shares of Bettwork common stock to $1,535,714 and caused an accumulated fair value loss of $6,081,427 to be realized. The change in fair value of $6,081,427 is recognized in net income (loss) as other income, valuation loss, net, as of February 29, 2020.

As of the first quarter ended on May 31, 2020, the 6,142,856 remaining shares of Bettwork’s common stock were trading at $0.183 per share valued at $1,124,143, which decreased the fair value by $411,571 for the quarter.

Recruiter.com Group, Inc., formerly Truli Technologies Inc (OTCQB: RCRT)

On August 31, 2016, Monaker entered into a Marketing and Stock Exchange Agreement with Recruiter.com (“Recruiter”). The Agreement required Monaker to issue to Recruiter 75,000 shares of Monaker common stock in exchange for 2,200 shares of Recruiter common stock. Also, Monaker issued to Recruiter an additional 75,000 shares of Monaker common stock for marketing initiatives within the Recruiter platform. In essence, Monaker issued 75,000 shares of its common stock to purchase 2,200 shares of Recruiter, and Monaker issued an additional 75,000 shares of its common stock as a prepayment for marketing and advertising within the Recruiter platform. Recruiter was at that time a private company with a platform that companies and individuals use for employment placements. Monaker’s investment in Recruiter was valued at May 31, 2019 at $412,247.

On January 15, 2019, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger / Merger Consideration, Truli Technologies Inc which subsequently changed its name to Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RCRT) (“Recruiter.com”) acquired Recruiter and Monaker exchanged its 2,200 shares in Recruiter for 11,141,810 shares of Recruiter.com common stock.

On August 22, 2019, Recruiter.com announced a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-80. This resulted in a reduction in the shares of Recruiter.com’s common stock held by the Company from 11,141,810 shares to 139,273 shares, which shares were valued at $2.70 per share at market closing on the date of the reverse.

As of February 29, 2020, each share of Recruiter.com’s common stock was valued at $2.25 per share which decreased the fair value of the 139,273 shares of Recruiter.com common stock to $313,363 and caused an accumulated fair value loss of $160,164 to be realized. The change in fair value of $160,164 is recognized in net income as other income, valuation loss, net, as of February 29, 2020.

As of the first quarter ended on May 31, 2020, the 139,273 shares of Recruiter.com’s common stock were trading at $2.75 per share and valued at $383,001, which increased the fair value of such shares by $69,638 for the quarter.

Note 5 – Line of Credit and Notes Payable

The National Bank of Commerce (FKA: Republic Bank)

On June 15, 2016, we entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Republic Bank, Inc. of Duluth, Minnesota (“Republic”), in the maximum amount of $1,000,000. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 1% (updated daily until maturity), payable monthly in arrears beginning on July 15, 2016. Any amounts borrowed under the line of credit are originally due on June 15, 2017; however, on June 12, 2017, the line of credit was extended for 90 days through September 13, 2017. On December 22, 2016, the revolving line of credit was increased to $1,200,000; all other terms of the revolving line of credit remained unchanged. On September 15, 2017, we entered into a replacement revolving line of credit agreement with Republic, which replaced and superseded the prior line of credit with Republic. The replacement revolving line of credit extended the due date of the Line of Credit to September 15, 2018. On September 15, 2018, we entered into another replacement revolving line of credit agreement with Republic, which replaced and superseded the prior line of credit with Republic and extended the due date of the Line of Credit to September 15, 2019.

On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into a commercial debt modification agreement with Republic to extend the maturity date of the line of credit to December 15, 2019. On December 6, 2019, the Company entered into another commercial debt modification agreement with National Bank of Commerce (which merged with Republic)(“National Bank”) to extend the maturity date of the line of credit to June 30, 2020. The line of credit, as amended and extended, provides that amounts borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 1% (updated daily until maturity), payable monthly in arrears beginning on September 28, 2018.

On May 7, 2020, the Company entered into a new Promissory Note with National Bank (the “New Note”). The Note replaced the prior promissory note we had in place with National Bank and extended the due date of the prior note from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The New Note also amended the interest rate of the prior note to provide that amounts due under the New Note accrue interest at the rate of prime plus 3% (which rate is currently 6.25%)(the interest rate of the prior note was prime plus 1%), subject to a floor of 4.5%. The New Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The New Note contains standard and customary events of default.

As of May 31, 2020, and February 29, 2020, $1,192,716 and $1,192,716, respectively, is outstanding under the line of credit.

Interest expense charged to operations relating to this line of credit was $16,068 and $19,171 for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has accrued interest as of May 31, 2020 and 2019 of $3,230 and $-0-, respectively.

Note Purchase Agreement: Iliad Research and Trading, L.P.

On April 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (“Iliad”), pursuant to which the Company sold the Lender a Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $895,000 (the “Note”). Iliad paid consideration of $800,000 for the Note, which included an original issue discount of $80,000 and reimbursement of Iliad’s transaction expenses of $15,000.

The Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures 12 months after its issuance date (i.e., on April 3, 2021). From time to time, beginning six months after issuance, Iliad may redeem a portion of the Note, not to exceed an amount of $200,000 per month. In the event we do not pay the amount of any requested redemption within three trading days, an amount equal to 25% of such redemption amount is added to the outstanding balance of the Note. Under certain circumstances the Company may defer the redemption payments up to three times, for a duration of 30 days each, provided that upon each such deferral the outstanding balance of the Note is increased by 2%. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Note at any time subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 15% of the amount of the outstanding balance to be prepaid. For so long as the Note remains outstanding, the Company has agreed to pay to Iliad 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock, which payments will be applied towards and will reduce the outstanding balance of the Note, which percentage increases to 30% upon the occurrence of, and continuance of, an event of default under the Note (each an “Equity Payment”). Each time that we fail to pay an Equity Payment, the outstanding balance of the Note automatically increases by 10%. Additionally, in the event we fail to timely pay any such Equity Payment, Iliad may seek an injunction which would prevent us from issuing common or preferred stock until or unless we pay such Equity Payment.

Pursuant to the Note, we provided Iliad a right of first refusal to purchase any promissory note, debenture or other debt instrument which we propose to sell, other than sales to officers or directors of the Company and/or sales to the government. Each time, if ever, that we provide Iliad such right, and Iliad does not exercise such right to provide such funding, the outstanding balance of the Note increases by 3%. Each time, if ever, that we fail to comply with the terms of the right of first refusal, the outstanding balance of the Note increases by 10%. Additionally, upon each major default described in the Note (i.e., the failure to pay amounts under the Note when due or to observe any covenant under the Note Purchase Agreement (other than the requirement to make Equity Payments)) the outstanding balance of the Note automatically increases by 15%, and for each other default, the outstanding balance of the Note automatically increases by 5%, provided such increase can only occur three times each as to major defaults and minor defaults, and that such aggregate increase cannot exceed 30% of the balance of the Note immediately prior to the first event of default.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note, the Company has entered into a Security Agreement with Iliad (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the obligations of the Company are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to the priority lien and security interest of National Bank (as defined above) which secures amounts due under its $1.2 million line of credit.

The Note Purchase Agreement and the Note contain customary events of default. As described in the Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the outstanding balance of the Note will become automatically due and payable, and upon the occurrence of other events of default, Iliad may declare the outstanding balance of the Note immediately due and payable at such time or at any time thereafter. After the occurrence of an event of default (and upon written notice from Iliad), interest on the Note will accrue at a rate of 22% per annum, or such lesser rate as permitted under applicable law. The Note Purchase Agreement prohibits Iliad from shorting our stock through the period that Iliad holds the Note.

The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of Iliad and its affiliates in the event that they incur loss or damage related to, among other things, a breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Purchase Agreement.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

On May 8, 2020, the Company obtained a $176,534 loan (the “Loan”) from The Commercial Bank (the “Lender”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the “CARES Act”. The Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “PPP Note”), dated effective May 8, 2020, issued by the Company to the Lender. The Note is unsecured with a 2-year term, matures on May 8, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 8, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP. The PPP Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the Loan will be available to the Company to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, rent, utilities and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP (including that up to 75% of such Loan funds are used for payroll). The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the respective Loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part. With respect to any portion of the Loan that is not forgiven, the Loan will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the PPP Note and cross-defaults.

Note 6 –Related Party Promissory Notes and Transactions

The Company has entered into three promissory notes, two with two Directors (the “Director Notes”) and one with the Donald P.

Preferred stock

The aggregate number of shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue is up to One Hundred Million (100,000,000), with a par value of $0.00001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) with the exception of Series A Preferred Stock shares having a $0.01 par value per share. The Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in series. The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and the articles of incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized and designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company and shall be entitled to one hundred (100) votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. There are no outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shares outstanding.

Per the terms of the Certificate of Designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock (as amended), subject to the availability of authorized and unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may, by written notice to the Company:

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Company, either voluntary or involuntary (any of the foregoing, a “liquidation”), holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this Company to the holders of the common Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof an amount per share equal to $1.00 for each share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) from the beginning of the dividend period in which the liquidation occurred to the date of liquidation.

The Company had 0 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020.

Dividends in arrears on the previously outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shares totaled $1,102,066 as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020. These dividends will only be payable when and if declared by the Board.

Share Repurchase Transactions

During the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock by Monaker.

Common Stock

During the quarter ended May 31, 2020, the following shares of common stock and other securities were issued and granted:

The Company had 13,270,589 and 13,064,339 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively.

Common Stock Warrants

On July 31, 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 613,000 shares of common stock in connection with a private placement offering of 613,000 shares of common stock and warrants. The warrants were exercisable immediately at $5.25 per share and expire on July 30, 2022. These warrants contain a subsequent equity sale reset “down round”, which provides that if the Company sells or grants any option to purchase any common stock of the Company at any effective price per share less than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price shall be reduced to equal that lower exercise price.

During January 2018, the Company entered into a First Amendment To Warrant (“Amendment”) agreement with Pacific Grove Capital LP (“Pacific Grove”) which amended the warrants then held by Pacific Grove (acquired on July 31, 2017). This amendment led to a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock held by Pacific Grove from $5.25 per share to $2.625 per share. This exercise price reduction was to incentivize the exercise of these warrants and to raise cash.

Additionally, as a result of the reduction in the exercise price of the Pacific Grove warrants which was agreed to pursuant to the Amendment, the anti-dilution provisions of the purchase agreement entered into with the purchasers pursuant to the July 31, 2017 purchases was triggered. Specifically, because the Company issued shares of common stock below (a) the $5.00 price per share of the securities sold pursuant to the purchase agreement, the purchasers were due an additional 14,458 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (b) the $5.25 exercise price of the warrants sold pursuant to the purchase agreement (and the warrants granted to the placement agent), automatically decreased to $5.125 per share.

Additionally, as a result of the reduction in the exercise price of the Stadlin warrants which was agreed to pursuant to the amendment, the anti-dilution provisions of the purchase agreement and the purchasers’ warrants granted in connection therewith was triggered. Specifically, because the Company issued shares of common stock below (a) the $5.00 price per share of the securities sold pursuant to the purchase agreement, the purchasers were due an additional 1,220 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (b) the $5.125 exercise price of the warrants sold pursuant to the purchase agreement (and the warrants granted to the placement agent), the exercise price of such warrants remained unchanged at $5.125 per share.

At first, the warrants were accounted for as part of Company equity since the warrants were considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. However, under ASC 815, the “down round” protection can sever the indexing to the Company’s own stock and the warrants could be accounted for as derivative liabilities at the time the reset was triggered, which is how the Company accounted for such warrants, and the change in fair value resulting from the reset of $26,060 was recognized as change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 intends to reduce the complexity associated with the issuer’s accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Specifically, the Board determined that a down round feature (as defined) would no longer cause a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or an embedded conversion option) to be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings and is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the new standard during 2017, preventing the need to account for the Company to account for the outstanding warrants that contain down round features as derivative instruments.

As a result of the Company’s April 2019 underwritten offering, the exercise price of the warrants to purchase 724,000 shares of common stock granted as part of the Company’s October 2, 2018 registered offering were automatically adjusted from $2.85 per share to $2.00 per share.

The following table sets forth common stock purchase warrants outstanding as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, and changes in such warrants outstanding for the three months ended May 31, 2020:

At May 31, 2020, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 1,277,071 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.23 and a weighted average remaining life of 2.06 years.

At February 29, 2020, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 1,347,391 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.32 and a weighted average remaining life of 2.30 years.

Related Party Transactions

Dividends in arrears on the previously outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shares totaled $1,102,066 as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020. These dividends will only be payable when and if declared by the Board. The dividends are owed to Donald P. Monaco, our Chairman, and William Kerby, our CEO and a director.

However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

On March 28, 2016, the Company was presented with a Demand for Arbitration, pursuant to Rule 4(a) of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Rules of Arbitration, whereby Acknew Investments, Inc. and Vice Regal Developments Inc. (Claimants) are arguing that $700,000 is due to them, even though they have already been paid said amounts through preferred shares that were issued as a guarantee and which Claimants converted into shares of common stock. In connection with the purchase of the stock of the entity that eventually became RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (and subsequently Verus International, Inc.), the Company issued 380,000 shares of Monaker Series D Preferred Stock shares with a value of $1,900,000, which was considered the $1,200,000 value of the stock portion of the purchase price, and was also meant to guaranty the payment of the balance of $700,000. The Company contends that the obligation to pay the $700,000 was extinguished with the conversion of the Monaker Series D Preferred Stock shares into shares of common stock. The date for arbitration has not been set and the Company will vehemently defend its position.

The Company is unable to determine the estimate of the probable or reasonable possible loss or range of losses arising from the above legal proceedings; however, the Company denies the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to vehemently defend itself against the allegations. As of May 31, 2020, there has been no further update on the arbitration.

On March 14, 2014, a lawsuit was filed by Lewis Global Partners in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida Case No. LACE 14-005009 005009 alleging breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In particular the lawsuit alleged that:

On April 5, 2019, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Lewis Global relating to the dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit with Lewis Global. The agreement further provided for general releases from each party.

On April 27, 2020, the Company filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief against IDS, Inc. (“IDS”) and certain other defendants affiliated with IDS in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. Pursuant to the complaint, the Company alleges causes of action against the defendants, including IDS, based on among other things, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, rescission, and breach of contract, and seeks a temporary and permanent injunction against the defendants, requiring such persons to return the 1,968,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “IDS Shares”) issued to IDS pursuant to the terms of an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement in August 2019 (the “IP Purchase Agreement”) and preventing such persons from selling or transferring any IDS Shares, seeks damages from the defendants, rescission of the IP Purchase Agreement, attorneys fees and other amounts.

The complaint was filed as a result of IDS’s failure to deliver the intellectual property assets which the Company purchased pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement (the “IP Assets”), certain other actions of IDS and the other defendants which the Company alleges constitutes fraud and to seek to unwind the IP Purchase Agreement and provide damages to the Company due to IDS’s and the other defendants’ breaches thereunder.
