Shareholders' Equity | NOTE 15 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value. As of September 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017, there were 2,914,168 and 2,822,660 shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Series A Preferred stock Each issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 1.01; divided by (ii) the total number of Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding at the time of such vote, at each meeting of shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or consideration, including the election of directors. Holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of Common Shares as a single class. The Series A Preferred Stock has no liquidation value or preference. During the twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not issue any Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017, there were 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Series 1 Preferred Stock Dividends Holders of the Series 1 Preferred will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 10% of the purchase price per year, payable semiannually on the last day of March and September in each year. Dividends may also be paid, at our option, in additional shares of Series 1 Preferred, valued at their liquidation preference. The Series 1 Preferred will rank senior to the common stock with respect to dividends. Dividends will be entitled to be paid prior to any dividend to the holders of our common stock. Liquidation Preference The Series 1 Preferred will have a liquidation preference of $10 per share, equal to its purchase price. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, any amounts remaining available for distribution to stockholders after payment of all liabilities of our company will be distributed first to the holders of Series 1 Preferred, and then pari passu to the holders of the Series A preferred stock and our common stock. The holders of Series 1 Preferred will have preference over the holders of our common stock on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company. The holders of Series 1 Preferred will also have preference over the holders of our Series A preferred stock. Voting Rights Except as otherwise provided in the certificate of designation, preferences and rights or as required by law, the Series 1 Preferred will vote together with the shares of our common stock (and not as a separate class) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Except as required by law, each holder of shares of Series 1 Preferred will be entitled to two votes for each share of Series 1 Preferred held on the record date as though each share of Series 1 Preferred were 2 shares of our common stock. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred will vote as a class on any amendment altering or changing the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series 1 Preferred so as to affect them adversely. No Conversion The Series 1 Preferred will not be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock or any other security. Rank The Series 1 Preferred will rank with respect to distribution rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution and dividend rights, as applicable:
| ● | senior to our Series A preferred stock, common stock and any other class of capital stock we issue in the future unless the terms of that stock provide that it ranks senior to any or all of the Series 1 Preferred;
| ● | on a parity with any class of capital stock we issue in the future the terms of which provide that it will rank on a parity with any or all of the Series 1 Preferred;
| ● | junior to each class of capital stock issued in the future the terms of which expressly provide that such capital stock will rank senior to the Series 1 Preferred and the common stock; and
| ● | junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness.
