NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Beyond Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “our”), has a planned business objective to develop, acquire, and deploy disruptive strategic software technology and market-changing business models through selling our own products and the acquisitions of existing companies. The Company currently owns and operates a data company and is actively seeking acquisition opportunities in high growth sectors such as psychedelics, cryptocurrency, ESports and Logistics among others.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 included herein include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Service 800 Inc., and Customer Centered Strategies, LLC (“CCS”), which the Company has an 80% investment interest.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
NOTE 2. SELECTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates are used in the determination of depreciation and amortization and the valuation for non-cash issuances of equity instruments, income taxes, and contingencies, among others. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 606-10, Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue as we transfer control of deliverables (products, solutions and services) to our customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. To recognize revenue, we apply the following five step approach: (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 the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. We account for a contract based on the terms and conditions the parties agree to, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated by the completion of a survey. Revenue is recognized and customers are billed at the point in time a survey occurs or when a related service is complete. The Company may require a deposit from new customers for set up costs or as down payments. These amounts are not significant to the financial statements.
Valuation of Derivative Instruments
ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
Management used the following inputs to value the Derivative Liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022:
| | March 31, 2022 Derivative Liability | |
Expected term | | 1 year | |
Exercise price | | $ | 0.00008 | |
Expected volatility | | | 196 | % |
Expected dividends | | None | |
Risk-free rate | | | 1.63 | % |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company reviews all of the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s updates periodically to ensure the Company’s compliance of its accounting policies and disclosure requirements to the Codification Topics.
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. As a result, the new standard may affect net income and EPS, and therefore performance measures, and increase debt levels which may impact debt covenant compliance.
ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted.
The Company will continue to monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements. The Company has taken the position that any future standards will not be disclosed to the extent they are not material to our operations.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using GAAP, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because of recent events, the Company cannot state with certainty of its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, and negative cash flows from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in attempting to raise capital from additional debt and equity financing. Due to its nominal revenues, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue, including through the acquisition of Service 800 and CCS or through a merger transaction with a well-capitalized entity. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, or if the funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate our plans to continue to develop and expand our operations or in the extreme situation, cease operations altogether.
NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS
On November 23, 2021, the Company entered into a simple agreement for future equity (the “SAFE”) with Cityfreighter, Inc. (“Cityfreighter”), pursuant to which the Company invested $250,000 (the “Purchase Amount”). Cityfreighter is a California based developer of electric low-floor trucks for the last mile delivery industry. Beyond Commerce received customary representations and warranties from Cityfreighter. The SAFE provides the Company with the right to either (a) future equity in Cityfreighter when it completes an Equity Financing (as defined below), or (b) future equity in Cityfreighter or cash proceeds if there is a liquidity or dissolution event.
On December 2, 2021 the Company executed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Elettricars (of Italy) to attain the exclusive U.S. rights to its low-speed electric vehicle (“LSEV”). Elettricars is focused on manufacturing and commercializing a low-speed electric vehicle (“LSEV”), a 4-wheeled motor vehicle, not an ATV, with a top speed of 25 mph and weighs less than 3,000 lbs. The Company paid Elettricars an initial payment in the amount of $50,000 in connection with the execution of a Definitive Agreement, which was being held in escrow. During the first quarter the parties determined not to proceed with the transaction and the $50,000 in escrow was returned to the Company.

On November 27, 2018, the Company received funding in conjunction with a convertible promissory note and a security purchase agreement dated November 27, 2018, in the amount of $250,000. The lender was Auctus Fund LLC. The notes have a maturity of August 27, 2019 and interest rate of 12% per annum and are convertible at a price of 60% of the lowest trading price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed for the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately prior to conversion. Additionally, if the stock price falls below par value, additional shares will be issued at the lower conversion rate so that stocks continue to be issued at par value. The note may be prepaid but carries a penalty in association with the remittance amount, as there is an accretion component to satisfy the note with cash. The Company is currently negotiating an extension with the noteholder as it is currently past due. As a result of a default provision, the interest rate has increased to 24% and additional principal was added in the amount of $15,000. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance is $112,259.
Effective February 28, 2019 as a component of the closing of the business combination between Beyond Commerce, Inc. and Service 800, Jean Mork Bredeson, Founder and President of Service 800, the Company issued a $2,100,000 three-year 5.5% promissory note to Ms. Bredeson. Interest only payments are required during the first year of the note. The $2,100,000 promissory note is personally guaranteed by the estate of George Pursglove whose executor is Geordan Pursglove, the Company’s President and CEO.
As a component of the Service 800 transaction, in lieu of the entire cash payment of $2,100,000 being made to Ms. Bredeson, a $210,000 amount was to be withheld until May 30, 2019 and continues to be outstanding. This note does not carry any interest obligations. Also, as all cash and accounts receivables at the effective date of the closing were to be retained by Ms. Bredeson, this allocation of cash is to be distributed quarterly on a non interest basis as true-ups are derived, which amounted to $1,409,169 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31 2021, respectively. Although holdbacks did not initially include interest obligations, we agreed to begin accruing interest at 15% in October 2019.
On March 30, 2021 the Company through its Service 800 Inc. subsidiary, received $150,000 in funding in conjunction with a promissory note under the SBA Loan Program. Borrower will be obligated to repay to the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due under the Loan, including principal and interest. This loan is a 30-year term note, bearing 3.75% interest due March 30, 2051. Installment payments, including principal and interest, of $731 monthly, will begin twelve (12) months from the date of the promissory note.
On July 19, 2021, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Geordan G. Pursglove, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the principal amount of $1,500,000, in satisfaction of Mr. Pursglove’s accrued salary owing of $1,239,800 and recognized a $260,200 loss on extinguishment of debt. The Note accrues interest at 2% per annum, with the principal and interest payments due in twelve equal monthly installments. At the holder’s election, the Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share equal to 100% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The cash maturity date is July 19, 2022. There was a conversion of $150,000 in Quarter one, which can be referred to in Note 6.
NOTE 6. COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2022, our authorized capital stock consisted of 30,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
During the three months ended, March 31, 2022, the Company issued 375,000,000 shares valued at $150,000 for the conversion of certain debt and accrued interest into shares of our stock and extinguishment of debt. Additionally, the Company issued 1,542,420,000 shares valued at $1,542,420 for the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock and issued 133,902,874 shares valued at $53,561 as part of the Company’s employment agreement with the Chief Financial Officer, Peter Stazzone.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
In March 2021, we approved authorization to issue up to 60,000,400 shares of preferred stock, which are designated Series A, B, C and undesignated Preferred Stock. As of November 14, 2021, we have 249.9999 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
We have designated 250 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
The Series A Preferred Stock will, with respect to each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, be entitled to three million (3,000,000) votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock standing in his, her or its name on the books of the corporation. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one million shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled, in the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, to receive payment or distribution of a preferential amount before any payments or distributions are received by any class or series of common stock. Subject to the prior or equal rights of the holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior or equal rights as to dividends and ranking ahead of the Common Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to therefore receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.
We have designated 51 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). One (1) share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total number of votes of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and other Preferred Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator. For the avoidance of doubt, if the total number of votes of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and other Preferred Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of one share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to 102,036 (e.g., ((0.019607 x 5,000,000) / 0.49) – (0.019607 x 5,000,000) = 102,036).
With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or by-laws. Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock. A stockholder that acquires common stock will not have an effective voice in the management of the Company.
We have designated 50,000,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).
The Series C Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank: (a) pari passu with the Corporation’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”); (b) junior to all other series of Preferred Stock, as such may be designated as of the date of this Designation, or which may be designated by the Corporation after the date of this Designation (the “Other Preferred”), and (c) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Corporation.
Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall vote on all matters requiring a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock and other classes of Preferred Stock entitled to vote, as a single class. Subject to the applicable beneficial ownership limitation, each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s Preferred Shares would be convertible using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Corporation eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the number of Conversion Shares is calculated. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will also be entitled to vote as a separate class with respect to any matter as to which such voting rights are required by applicable law.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 1,566,905 shares of Series C Preferred, valued at $3,837,647. This was part of a settlement the Company reached with Discover to redeem the secured redeemable convertible debenture dated August 7, 2018. The valuation was derived from a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,435,695 that represents the fair value of debt forgiveness, less the issuance of 598,048,320 common stock shares valued at par of $0.001, plus cash proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000 from the SPA that the Company entered into.
During the first quarter of 2022, 154,242 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to 1,542,420,000 shares of common stock.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
A complaint against the Company, dated February 5, 2020, has been filed in Hennepin County, Minnesota, by Jean Mork Bredeson, the former President and former owner of Service 800, making certain claims related to the Company’s acquisition of Service 800, seeking in excess of $1.6 million in damages. On March 16, 2020, the Company and Service 800 filed an answer, counterclaim and third-party claim against Ms. Bredeson and defendants Allen Bredeson and Jeff Schwedinger, former employees of Service 800. Answers and Affirmative and Additional Defenses to Third Party Claims were filed by Ms. Bredeson on April 7, 2020 and by Mr. Schwedinger on April 9, 2020 and, on April 24, 2020, Ms. Bredeson filed a Motion to Dismiss. The Court denied in full Ms. Bredeson’s motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement. Subsequently, using a wholly owned entity she controls, Ms. Bredeson filed another matter, captioned Green Valley Associates Inc. vs Service 800 Inc., 27-CV-20-13800. Although Ms. Bredeson is seeking to have the matters handled by separate judges, the Company sought consolidation of the two matters before Judge Klein, the judge who denied Ms. Bredeson’s motion to dismiss, but the consolidation was denied. Ms. Bredeson also has since filed, and then withdrawn, other motions, without allowing them to reach Judge Klein. Ms. Bredeson’s motion for summary judgment was ruled against by Judge Klein. The discovery has closed in both cases. On March 14, 2022 the judge granted the Company’s motion for sanctions against Bredeson for spoilation of documents that were likely to be relevant in the case. The judge also found that the Company was likely to be prejudiced by her conduct, so a sanction was warranted. On March 23, 2022 the judge granted the plaintiff’s motion for reimbursement of legal services by the Company incurred in opposing counterclaims brought by the Company in the amount of $95,506 as allowed by Minnesota statutes.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, states that a firm must distinguish between losses that are probable, reasonably probable or remote. If a contingent liability is deemed probable, it must be directly reported in the financial statements. In July 2010, the FASB issued ASC 450-20 that updated the Standard and uses “probable,” “reasonably possible,” and “remote” to determine the likelihood of the future event that will confirm a loss, an impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability.
Accrual of a loss contingency is required when (1) it is probable that a loss has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (2) the amount can be reasonably estimated. No accrual has been made in the above matter as the determination is that a loss is not probable as of March 31, 2022 nor can a loss be reasonably estimated.
In addition to the above, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Other than as set forth above, to our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or any of our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Operating Lease
We currently lease virtual office space at 3773 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite: 500 Las Vegas, NV 89169. We pay an annual fee of $120 for this lease. There is also a location in Minnesota for Service 800, Inc. On February 20, 2020 the company moved Service 800, Inc. to 110 Cheshire Lane, Minnetonka Minnesota 55305. Service 800 leases 3,210 square feet of office space under an operating lease agreement with Carlson Center East LLC. The lease, which expires June 30, 2023, requires base monthly rents of $4,160, plus operating expenses.
The public entity guidance in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Our accounting policy is to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet.
The Company leases office space under an operating lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease, right-of-use assets, and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. The implicit rates with the Company’s operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgement. The company determines its incremental borrowing rate for each lease using its then-current borrowing rate. Certain of the Company’s leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company establishes the number of renewal options periods used in determining the operating lease term based upon its assessment at the inception of the operating lease. The option to renew the lease may be automatic, at the option of the Company, or mutually agreed to between the landlord and the Company. Once the facility lease term has begun, the present value of the aggregate future minimum lease payments is recorded as a right-of-use asset.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. There are no options to extend or terminate the leases. The Company has no other leases yet to commence.
NOTE 8. RELATED PARTIES
On July 19, 2021, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Geordan G. Pursglove, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the principal amount of $1,500,000, in satisfaction of Mr. Pursglove’s accrued salary owing of $1,239,800 and $260,200 for loss on settlement. The Note accrues interest at 2% per annum, with the principal and interest payments due in twelve equal monthly installments. At the holder’s election, the Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share equal to 100% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The cash maturity date is July 19, 2022. On February 8, 2022 there was a conversion of $150,000 worth of shares issued.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company issued 133,902,874 shares of common stock valued at $53,561 as part of the Company’s employment agreement with the Chief Financial Officer, Peter Stazzone.
NOTE 9. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
The Company follows ASC 260-10, which requires presentation of basic and diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Convertible debt that is convertible into 4,780,883,321 and 1,819,902,063 shares of the Company’s common stock are not included in the computation, along with 249,999,900 and 249,999,900 of the Company’s preferred stock after conversion, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there are 687,760 shares of series C preferred stock issued and outstanding that are convertible into 6,877,600,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, there are 16,666,667 and 16,666,667 warrants that are exercisable into shares of stock as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations as of March 31, 2022 and 2021:
| | Three-month period ended March 31, | |

Loss from continuing operations | | $ | (651,389 | ) | | $ | (6,295,045 | ) |
Consolidated net loss | | $ | (651,389 | ) | | $ | (6,295,045 | ) |
Weighted average shares used for diluted earnings per share | | | 13,682,864,073 | | | | 4,087,460,718 | |
Incremental Diluted Shares | | -* | | | -* | |
Weighted Average shares used for diluted earnings per share | | | 13,682,864,073 | | | | 4,087,460,718 | |
Net income (loss) per share: | | | | | | | | |
Basic and Diluted: continuing operations | | $ | (0.00 | ) | | $ | (0.00 | ) |
Basic and Diluted: discontinued operations | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |

Total Basic and Diluted loss per share | | $ | (0.00 | ) | | $ | (0.00 | ) |
* | The shares associated with convertible debt, preferred stock, stock options and stock warrants are not included because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive (i.e., reduce the net loss per common share). |
