On December 1, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note payable to Mr. Rory J. Cutaia, the Company’s majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer, to consolidate all loans and advances made by Mr. Cutaia to the Company as of that date. The note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, secured by the Company’s assets, and matured on February 8, 2021, as amended. A total of 30% of the original note balance or $375,000 was convertible to common stock and was converted in 2018 while the remaining note balance of $825,000 is not convertible. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made payments of $100,000. On February 25, 2021 the Company extended the note to February 8, 2023 with no changes to the other terms of the note agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the note amounted to $725,000. |

In February 2021, the Mr. Cutaia and Company amended the note payable and extended the maturity date from February 8, 2021 to February 8, 2023 or an extension of two years. In exchange for the extension, the Company issued Mr. Cutaia warrants to purchase 138,889 shares of common stock with a fair value of $287,000. The warrants are fully vested, exercisable at $2.61 per share and will expire in three years. There were no other changes to the original terms of the note payable. In accordance with ASC 450-70, modifications or exchanges are considered extinguishments with gains or losses recognized in current earnings if the terms of the new debt and original instrument are substantially different. The instruments are considered “substantially different” when the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. As the fair value of the warrants granted amounted to $287,000 for which is approximately 40% of the outstanding note payable, pursuant to ASC 470, the Company accounted the modification as an extinguishment of debt which requires the measurement of the modified debt and additional consideration to be at fair value. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $287,000 and a corresponding credit to contributed capital. |
