NOTE
1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE
OF OPERATIONS
Sunstock,
Inc. (“Sunstock” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware
to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Sunstock may
attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with Sunstock. The combination
will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company
will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or
Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that Sunstock will be successful in locating
or negotiating with any target company. Sunstock has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company
to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On
July 18, 2013, the Company has changed its name from Sandgate Acquisition Corporation to Sunstock, Inc.
On
July 18, 2013, Jason Chang and Dr. Ramnik S. Clair were named as the directors of the Company.
On
October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build
out a retail store which the Company opened in February 2014. The Company opened its second retail store in May 2014. On August
21, 2014 the first store was forced to close due to below code electrical wiring the landlord had provided. Perishable inventory
at this store was relocated to the second store as nonperishables were moved into storage along with fixed assets. The Company’s
second store was relocated in December of 2015 under lease running through June 2017 and operated on a month to month lease from
then until the store was closed in September 2018. The Company currently operates no variety retail stores.
The
Company plans to continue purchasing more precious metals in silver and currently searching for a hotel in the Central California
are as their previous selection in escrow during the 4th quarter of 2017 did not close.
On
October 22, 2018, Sunstock, Inc. acquired all assets and liabilities of Mom’s Silver Shop, Inc. of Sacramento, California.
Included in the assets acquired was approximately $60,000 in precious metals inventory and approximately $13,000 in net fixtures.
Also included were any licenses and permits, customer lists, logo, trade names, signs, and websites. Financing of the purchase
was by $20,056 cash, $33,000 unsecured note payable with principle payments of $1,000 per week for 33 weeks starting January 1,
2019 with 4.5% annual interest accrued on the unpaid balance (total accrued interest due August 27, 2019), and the assumption
of liabilities and lease obligations. Mom’s Silver Shop had unaudited net revenues of approximately $4,800,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2015, $4,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, $3,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, and
$2,500,000 in 2018 to the date of acquisition. Mom’s Silver Shop specializes in buying and selling gold, silver, and rare
coins, and is one of the leading precious metals retailers in the greater Sacramento metropolitan area.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial
statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing
the accompanying financial statements.
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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by the Company’s management include realizability and valuation of inventories, valuation
of derivatives, and value of stock-based transactions.
CONCENTRATION
OF RISK
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places
its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation limit as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
INVENTORIES
COLLECTIBLE
COINS – MOM’S SILVER SHOP
The
Company acquired Mom’s Silver Shop in October 2018 to enter the market for collectible coins. The Company acquires collectible
coins from both companies and individuals and then marks them up for resale. The inventory is recorded at lower of cost or market.
Inventory can fluctuate in relation to when it is purchased and when it is sold. Collectible coins inventory was $126,456
at September 30, 2019 compared to $20,947 at December 31, 2018.
At
each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventory quantities on hand and on order and records a provision for
excess quantities and obsolescence. Among other factors, the Company considers historical demand and forecasted demand in relation
to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence
and net realizable value. In addition, the Company considers changes in the market value of components in determining the net
realizable value of its inventory. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable
values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories.
PRECIOUS
METALS AND COINS HELD FOR INVESTMENT - SUNSTOCK
Inventories at September 30, 2019 also include
approximately $401,090 of bullion and bullion coins and approximately $358,834 at December 31, 2018 and are acquired and
initially recorded at fair market value. Currently, the Company anticipates holding its precious metals as a long-term investment.
Depending on market conditions, the Company anticipates holding its silver holdings until the market price exceeds $50 per ounce.
Likewise, the Company does not plan to sell its gold holdings unless the market price exceeds $2,500 per ounce. The fair market
value of the bullion and bullion coins is comprised of two components: 1) published market values attributable to the costs of
the raw precious metal, and 2) a published premium paid at acquisition of the metal. The premium is attributable to the additional
value of the product in its finished goods form and the market value attributable solely to the premium may be readily determined,
as it is published by multiple reputable sources. The Company’s inventory is subsequently recorded at fair market values
on a quarterly basis. The fair value of the inventory is determined using pricing and data derived from the markets on which the
underlying commodities are traded. Precious metals commodities inventories are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
The Company has continuously experienced a shortage of cash and has had significantly past due obligations. While the Company’s
preference is to hold the silver bullion to achieve long-term gains, the bullion is available to pay current obligations should
the Company not be able to raise cash through issuance of stock or notes payable. Thus, the Company believes that including the
silver bullion in current assets under inventory is appropriate.
The
change in fair value of the precious metals was included in the financial statements herein as recorded on the Company’s
Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on investments in precious metals of $42,256 for the nine months ended September
30, 2019 and an unrealized loss on investments in precious metals of $52,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3
to 5 years. Any leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
LONG-LIVED
ASSETS
The
Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value
of the related asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December
31, 2018. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services
will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
On
January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which
replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces
of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that
a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed
disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance.
The
Company’s principal activities from which it generates revenue are product sales. Revenue is measured based on considerations
specified in a contract with a customer. A contract exists when it becomes a legally enforceable agreement with a customer. These
contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Consideration
is typically paid at time of sale via credit card, check, or cash when products are sold direct to consumers.
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product to the customer, which for the Company is transfer
of a product to customers. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred
to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer
of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company has concluded the sale of product and
related shipping and handling are accounted for as the single performance obligation.
The
transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the
customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to
which the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. We do not issue refunds.
The
Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in a contract by transferring control over a product to
a customer when product is shipped based on fulfillment by the Company. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both
imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are
excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred
to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of product sales. The Company does not accept returns.
EARNINGS
(LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic
earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result
from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and
have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would reduce the reported loss per share
and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentially
dilutive shares that were included in the diluted loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the years then
ended.
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial assets on a recurring basis. A fair value hierarchy is used to rank
the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair
value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level
1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level
2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can
be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities.
At
September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and accounts
payable. The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company has not posted operating income since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of approximately $65,800,000 as
of September 30, 2019. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations
to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders
and/or other third parties.
These
condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its
obligations and continue its operations for the next year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations,
successfully locating and negotiating with an acquisition target.
There
is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities
that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-07, Improvements
to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The amendments in the update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include
share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of
Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost
(that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period).
The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services
to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify
that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer, or (2) awards granted
in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim
periods within that fiscal year. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share; Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity; Derivatives and Hedging;
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily
Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with
a Scope Exception. An entity will no longer have to consider “down round” features (i.e., a provision in an equity-linked
financial instrument or an embedded feature that reduces the exercise price if the entity sells stock for a lower price or issues
an equity-linked instrument with a lower exercise price) when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments
or embedded features are indexed to its own stock. An entity that presents earnings per share (EPS) under ASC 260 will recognize
the effect of a down round feature in a freestanding equity-classified financial instrument only when it is triggered. The effect
of triggering such a feature will be recognized as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in basic
EPS. The new guidance will require new disclosures for financial instruments with down round features and other terms that change
conversion or exercise prices. The ASU also replaces today’s indefinite deferral of the guidance in ASC 480-10 for certain
mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests
with a scope exception. The amendments in Part I of ASU 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, the amendments in Part II do not require any transition guidance because those
amendments do not have an accounting effect. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows; Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
The new standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice.
The eight issues are: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments
with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration
payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of
corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned insurance policies; distribution received from equity method investees;
beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.
The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within fiscal periods
beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE
3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In
March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard clarifies the implementation
guidance on principal versus agent considerations in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 addresses
that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. When an entity is a principal
(that is, if it controls the specific good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer) and satisfies
a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled
in exchange for the specific good or service transferred to the customer. When an entity is an agent and satisfies a performance
obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange
for arranging for the specific good or service to be provided by the other party. The new standard is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. This standard did not have
a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance,
lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement
date: A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted
basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified
asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made
to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize
lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business
entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective
transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented
in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired
before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The primary
impact to the financial position upon adoption was the recognition, on a discounted basis, of the minimum commitments on
the balance sheet under our noncancelable operating lease resulting in the recording of a right of use asset and lease obligation.
The
following table summarizes the impact of Topic 842 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet upon adoption on January 1, 2019:

NOTE
6 - RELATED PARTY BALANCES
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company was provided loans totaling $219,000 by the Company’s CEO. The loans bear
interest at 6% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2018, $49,750 of the loans were converted into 33,300,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in a loss from settlement of debt of $840,058. In connection with the acquisition
of Mom’s Silver Shop, the Company incurred a $33,000 note payable to the former owner of Mom’s Silver Shop, of which
$0 is still outstanding at September 30, 2019.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Jason Chang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and director, purchased 302,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate of approximately $172,850 in cash and the Company recorded an additional
$4,798,150 as stock based compensation based on the closing prices on the grant dates. During the nine months ended September
30, 2019, the parents of Jason Chang purchased 90,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate of approximately
$25,000 in cash and the Company recorded an additional $975,000 as stock based compensation based on the closing prices on the
grant dates.
NOTE
7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company entered into a lease agreement in October 2018 for 1,088 square feet of retail shop space for Mom’s Silver Shop.
The lease requires combined monthly payments of base rent and triple net of $1,866 per month for sixty months.
Operating
lease right of use assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the present value of our remaining
lease payments over the remaining lease term. We do not allocate lease payments to non-lease components; therefore, fixed payments
for common area maintenance and administrative services are included in our operating lease right of use assets and liabilities.
We use our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of our lease payments, as the implicit rate in our lease
is not readily determinable.
NOTE

LITIGATION
On
June 18, 2018, Power Up Lending Group, LTD. (“Power Up”), filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York that
Sunstock and Jason Chang (president and CFO of Sunstock and board member) and Rammk Clair (board member of Sunstock) materially
breached the October 24, 2017, December 19, 2017, and April 16, 2018 notes payable to Power Up by, in June 2018, changing Sunstock’s
transfer agent in violation of the Notes and Agreements, and existing letter of instructions and authorizations, refusing to provide
a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and also failing to maintain sufficient
reserves of stock so as to permit and accommodate the conversion requests of Power Up to go forward. Power Up has requested judgment
against Sunstock for $160,180 with default interest, judgment against Sunstock for reasonable legal fees and costs of litigation,
three judgments against Jason Chang and Rammk Clair for $160,180 and interest for each judgment, and a temporary restraining order
and a preliminary and permanent injunction directing Sunstock, Jason Chang, and Rammk Clair to take all steps necessary and proper
to permit the conversion of debt into stock and to deliver the stock to Power Up.
On
June 22, 2018, EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) sent a letter to Sunstock stating that Sunstock was in default on the June
5, 2017 note payable and the October 11, 2017 note payable to EMA. Among other defaults, the letter stated that Sunstock was in
default due to refusing to provide a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and
also failing to maintain sufficient reserves of stock. The letter asks for at least $332,884.
On
December 26, 2018, EMA filed a lawsuit in Federal Court for breach of contract.

default on the May 24, 2017 note payable and the October 11, 2017 note payable to Auctus. Among other defaults, the letter stated

LITIGATION
(CONTINUED)
On
July 10, 2018, the attorney for Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”), sent a letter to Sunstock stating that
Sunstock was in default on the December 8, 2017 note payable to Crown Bridge. The letter stated that Sunstock was in default due
to changing Sunstock’s transfer agent in violation of the note, and existing letter of instructions and authorizations,
refusing to provide a replacement irrevocable letter of instruction from the newly appointed transfer agent and also failing to
maintain sufficient reserves of stock so as to permit and accommodate the conversion requests of Crown Bridge to go forward. The
letter requested that Sunstock immediately contact Crown Bridge to demonstrate compliance with the note. On August 15, 2018, the
attorney for Crown Bridge sent another letter to Sunstock stating that Sunstock owed Crown Bridge $221,470, and that if Sunstock
did not respond by August 21, 2018 in regards to payment, then a lawsuit would be filed. In August 2019, the United States
District Court Southern District of New York entered a default judgement totaling $141,776 in favor of Crown Bridge Partners against
the Company.
On
March 7, 2019, the United States Court of Massachusetts issued electronic order 38 stating that the Court granted on the merits
summary judgement on violation of contract claims for the plaintiffs (Auctus Fund, LLC and EMA Financial, LLC) and found Sunstock
in default.
On
May 6, 2019, the United States District Court of the District of Massachusetts issued an Order to Show Cause in the case of Auctus
Fund, LLC and EMA Financial, LLC Vs. Sunstock, Inc. The Court ordered Auctus to show cause within 21 days why the Court had jurisdiction
at the outset of the case and why the Court ought not to vacate its entry of summary judgement for Auctus, EDF No. 38. The Court
said that it had taken no action with regard to EMA’s claim. The Company is currently awaiting a further issuance by the
Court.
On
May 30, 2019, the United States District Court of Massachusetts issued an order in the case of Auctus Fund, LLC vs. Sunstock,
Inc. that the Court was satisfied that Auctus compliant raised colorable securities law claims and, accordingly, the Court ruled
that it had subject matter jurisdiction to enter summary judgment on Auctus’ contract claims.
On
June 20, 2019, Power Up Lending Group filed a motion with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, accepting
judgement of $160,180 plus interest on the three notes with the Company. The Company believes that the interest will be that applicable
to each note. In addition, Power Up Lending Group included in the motion that the Company establish a reserve of 63,317,183,000
of common shares. The Company believes that Power Up Lending Group is entitled to either $160,180 plus interest or to common shares,
but not both. The Company currently has only 1,388,888,888 authorized common shares and is seeking legal advice on the
variance between authorized shares and reserve requested.
On
July 29, 2019, Power Up Lending Group converted $1,180 in principal and $6,480 in accrued interest of its October 21, 2017 debt
into 2,070,270 shares of common stock. The total of $7,660 will be applied against the $160,180 plus interest.
INDEMNITIES
AND GUARANTEES
The
Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified
party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents,
as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has agreed to indemnify
its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies,
and is generally tied to the life of the agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the
maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor
incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees
in the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTE
9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The
Company evaluates its debt instruments, or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts
qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments
and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value
of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded
as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement
of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked
to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially
classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at
the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
The
Company applies the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument,
or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument
or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially
settled in an entity’s own common stock.
From
time to time, the Company has issued notes with embedded conversion features. Certain of the embedded conversion features contain
price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the Company has classified all conversion features as derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2019, and has estimated
the fair value of these embedded conversion features using a binomial options pricing model with the following assumptions:
