The short-term convertible note issued
to several lenders, disclosed in note 13(m)(n)(p)(q) above have conversion rights that are linked to the Company’s stock price,
typically at a factor ranging from 70% to 75% of an average stock price over a period ranging from 15 to 30 days. The number of shares
issuable upon conversion of these convertible notes is therefore not determinable until conversion takes place. In order to estimate the
potential impact of the conversion of these convertible notes, we calculate what the expected gain or loss would amount to based on a
Black Scholes valuation model which takes into account the following factors:
|
● |
Historical share price volatility; |
|
● |
Maturity dates of the underlying securities being
valued; |
|
● |
Risk free interest rates; and |
|
● |
Expected dividend policies of the Company. |
This expected gain or loss gives rise
to a derivative liability which is recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss with a corresponding liability
recorded on the balance sheet.
The value of the derivative financial
liabilities above was re-assessed at February 29, 2020 and a total of $695,432 was charged to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement
of loss and comprehensive loss. The value of the derivative liability will be re-assessed at each financial reporting period, with any
movement thereon recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which it is incurred.
