Note 9: NOTES PAYABLE

 

The discussion of notes payable only includes those that existed as of April 30, 2023. For a discussion of all prior notes payable we refer you to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed September 14, 2023 for the fiscal year end April 30, 2023.

 

On April 11, 2021, the Company and the lender entered into an agreement whereby the lender converted the promissory note into 681 shares of Company stock, which were issued to the lender at a 20% discount from the closing price of the stock on the day prior to the conversion. In addition to the discount, the agreement contains a guarantee that the aggregate gross sales of the shares by the lender will be no less than $1,500,000 over the next three years and if the aggregate gross sales are less than $1,500,000 the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to the lender for the difference between the total gross proceeds and $1,500,000, which could result in an infinite number of shares being required to be issued.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option of the note payable to shares under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the conversion option qualified for equity classification. The Company also evaluated the profit guarantee under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined it to be a make-whole provision, which is an embedded derivative within the host instrument. As the economic characteristics are dissimilar to the host instrument, the profit guarantee was bifurcated from the host instrument and stated as a separate derivative liability, which is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivative.

 

On the date of conversion, the Company recognized a $1,501,914 loss on extinguishment of debt, which represented the difference between the promissory note and the fair value of the shares issued of $1,250,004, which were recorded in shares issued in connection with conversion of note payable within shareholders’ equity, as well as the derivative liability of $1,251,910, which was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability was $1,456,854 as of August 20, 2023.

 

On August 21, 2023, the Company amended its arrangement with MidCity and agreed to issue 42,500 shares of stock monthly for eight months to settle the profit guarantee under its prior note arrangement from April 2020. The parties agreed to a one-time true-up at March 31, 2024 if any further amounts are due MidCity at that time. As a result of this new agreement with MidCity fixing the terms of the guarantee, the Company has removed the criteria that created a net share settlement issue and thus no longer treats this as a derivative liability. The remaining liability has been adjusted against additional paid in capital at the date of the agreement.

 

On February 15, 2022, for and in consideration of $4,000,000 the Company conveyed, sold, transferred, set over, assigned and delivered to Slinger Bag Consignment, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Consignor”), all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to 13,000 units of certain surplus inventory, including all components, parts, additions and accessions thereto (collectively, the “Consigned Goods”). The Company has repaid the $4,000,000 as of April 30, 2023 (and as of October 31, 2022).

 

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a $500,000 note payable. The note was to mature on July 1, 2022 and bears interest at eight percent (8%) per year. The Company pays interest monthly and will pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the maturity date in which the outstanding principal is due. On August 1, 2022, the Company repaid the $500,000.

The closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 6, 2023, as reported by Nasdaq, was $8.84 per share, so the Warrants in respect of the initial advance under the Note are exercisable for up to 452,489 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The modification of the original January 6, 2023, loan represented a material modification, and the original loan has been extinguished, and the New Loan in the amount of $3,000,000 has been recorded.

Note 10: NOTES PAYABLE

 

The discussion of notes payable only includes those that existed as of April 30, 2022. For a discussion of all prior notes payable we refer you to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed May 17, 2023 for the fiscal year end April 30, 2022.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Mont-Saic to borrow $120,000. This loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.6% and was required to be repaid in full, together with all accrued, but unpaid, interest by June 30, 2021. On December 3, 2020, Mont-Saic entered into an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement with the Company’s exiting related party lender wherein Mont-Saic sold its full right, title and interest in this note to the Company’s related party lender (see Note 8).

On April 11, 2021, the Company and the lender entered into an agreement whereby the lender converted the promissory note into 27,233 shares of Company stock, which were issued to the lender at a 20% discount from the closing price of the stock on the day prior to the conversion. In addition to the discount, the agreement contains a guarantee that the aggregate gross sales of the shares by the lender will be no less than $1,500,000 over the next three years and if the aggregate gross sales are less than $1,500,000 the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to the lender for the difference between the total gross proceeds and $1,500,000, which could result in an infinite number of shares being required to be issued.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option of the note payable to shares under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the conversion option qualified for equity classification.

On the date of conversion, the Company recognized a $1,501,914 loss on extinguishment of debt, which represented the difference between the promissory note and the fair value of the shares issued of $1,250,004, which were recorded in shares issued in connection with conversion of note payable within shareholders’ equity, as well as the derivative liability of $1,251,910, which was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability was $1,456,854 and $1,061,550 as of April 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

On February 15, 2022, for and in consideration of $4,000,000 the Company conveyed, sold, transferred, set over, assigned and delivered to Slinger Bag Consignment, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Consignor”), all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to 13,000 units of certain surplus inventory, including all components, parts, additions and accessions thereto (collectively, the “Consigned Goods”). The Company has repaid the $4,000,000 as of April 30, 2023.
