NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company evaluates its debt instruments,
or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately
accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as
a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair
value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other
expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date
and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject
to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification
date.
The Company applies the accounting standard
that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s
own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of
a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.
From time to time, the Company has issued notes
with embedded conversion features. Certain of the embedded conversion features contain price protection or anti-dilution features
that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company has classified
all conversion features as derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2019, and has estimated the fair value of these embedded
conversion features using a binomial options pricing model with the following assumptions:
