NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company currently has a License Agreement with IGL Pharma, Inc., an entity in which the Company’s Executive Chairman serves as President and holds a non-controlling equity interest.

 

The Company currently maintains an executive office in Florida, which is leased by an investment firm in which the Company’s General Counsel serves as an officer but does not hold any equity or voting rights. The Company has no formal agreement for this space and pays no rent.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company received $174,999 from its equity method investee, EPH, as management fee revenue. The Company did not receive any revenue from EPH in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Due to the Separation Agreement disclosed in Note 4, management fee revenues received during the period ended March 31, 2020 have been presented on the statement of operations as discontinued operations (see Note 9 – Discontinued Operations). Management fee revenues were the Company’s primary source of revenue during that period.

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company owes to EPH $34,136 of notes payable and accrued interest which is included in notes payable-related parties on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $45,500 of proceeds from short-term notes payable with officers and directors of the Company bearing interest at 10%. As of March 31, 2021, $7,500 of principal remains outstanding on certain of these short-term notes payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, $23,000 of these short-term notes payable was converted into 23 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock at a conversion ratio of $1,000 per share, and warrants to purchase 65,714 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share, which resulted in no gain or loss on conversion (see Note 9).

 

During the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred approximately $37,551 and $27,104 in legal fees with a law firm in which the Company’s audit committee chair is an employee. As of March 31, 2021, accounts payable and accrued expenses include $20,099 for legal fees due to the law firm for services.
