Note
1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature
of Operations
MamaMancini’s
Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as Mascot Properties, Inc.) was organized on July 22, 2009 as a Nevada
corporation. The Company has a year-end of January 31.
The
Company is a manufacturer and distributor of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce, beef meat loaf and
other similar meats and sauces. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States, with a large concentration
in the Northeast and Southeast.
Basis
of Presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which
in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations
for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 filed on April 21, 2016. The Company
assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements
for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined
in that context. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements but
does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results
of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending January 31, 2017.
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “
Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30):
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
,” during the first quarter of 2016. In accordance with the guidance,
$26,620 of unamortized debt issuance costs, associated with the Company’s debt, were reclassified from other assets, as
previously reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2016, to line of credit, net.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred
a net loss available to common shareholders of $580,435 and $3,101,343 during the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively. Also, as of October 31, 2016, the Company had $655,030 in cash, and working capital of $1,857,956. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In their report for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2016, the Company’s auditors have expressed an opinion that, as a result of the conditions noted, there is substantial
doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s
plans include using cash flows and/or refinancing transactions to reduce the Company’s maturing debt and for
general working capital purposes. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory
obsolescence and the fair value of share-based payments.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect
of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements,
which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations
are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business
failure.
The
Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected
to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic
conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including the general downturn in the economy, and (iii)
the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product.
These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company held no cash equivalents at October 31, 2016 or January 31, 2016.
The
Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial
institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts
receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require
collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the
outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if
receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management.
The maximum accounting loss from the credit risk associated with accounts receivable is the amount of the receivable recorded,
which is the face amount of the receivable net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of October 31, 2016 and January 31,
2016, the Company had reserves of $2,000.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at average cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. Inventory was comprised of the following at
October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016:

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
For
purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s
short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Stock
Issuance Costs
Stock
issuance costs are capitalized as incurred. Upon the completion of the offering, the stock issuance costs are reclassified to
equity and netted against proceeds. In the event the costs are in excess of the proceeds, the costs are recorded to expense. In
the case of an aborted offering, all costs are expensed. Offering costs recorded to equity for the nine months ended October 31,
2016 and 2015 were $0 and $351,219, respectively.
Research
and Development
Research
and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015
were $38,529 and $33,877, respectively. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015
were $106,316 and $77,435, respectively.
Shipping
and Handling Costs
The
Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as general and administrative expenses.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenue for products when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(2) the product is delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related
customer receivable is reasonably assured. There is no stated right of return for products.
The
Company meets these criteria upon shipment.
Expenses
such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows:

Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Costs include
product development, freight, packaging, and print production costs.
Advertising
Costs
incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred. Producing and communicating
advertising expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 were $377,429 and $434,966, respectively. Producing
and communicating advertising expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1,148,986 and $1,873,524, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “
Compensation – Stock Compensation”
(“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation.
It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts
for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees
in accordance with ASC 505-50 “
Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees
”.
The
Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at
their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Share-based
payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards
issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more
readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally
the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed
in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling,
general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded
as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
For
the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, share-based compensation amounted to $115,277 and $81,242, respectively. For
the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, share-based compensation amounted to $488,039 and $199,051, respectively. During
the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, share-based compensation included stock issuance costs of $84,547 paid in form
of warrants.
For
the nine months ended October 31, 2016, when computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following
variables:
|

The
expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99.
The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does
not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
The
expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry
peers and used an average of those volatilities. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable
periods.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Earnings
per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term
is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available
to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the
period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred
stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned)
from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation
of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect
the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options
or warrants.
Pursuant
to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23, diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate
or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and
their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method
unless the provisions of Paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied.
Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid
stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and
purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: (a.) exercise of options and warrants
shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued,
(b.) the proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
(See Paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.), and (c.) the incremental shares (the difference between the number
of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Since
the Company reflected a net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, the
effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if outstanding, would have been anti-dilutive and therefore is not included
in the table below.
The
computations of basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows:

Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are provided in accordance with ASC No. 740, “
Accounting for Income Taxes
”. A deferred tax asset or liability
is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred
tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes
in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The
Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012.
Reclassification
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition
guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard’s core principle (issued as ASU 2014-09 by the FASB), is that a company will recognize
revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract,
estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each
separate performance obligation. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented
in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers
the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as
of the original effective date. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating its adoption method and the impact of the standard on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “
Interest
- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
. The amendments in this ASU
require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction
from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for
debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments
is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective
basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects
of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in
an accounting principle. These disclosures include the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition
method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, and the effect of the change on
the financial statement line items (i.e., debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during
the nine months ended October 31, 2016.
In
July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “
Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”
,
which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under current inventory standards,
the market value requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value and net realizable value less an approximately
normal profit margin. The new guidance replaces market with net realizable value defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary
course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to
determine and consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory.
The standard is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within
that annual period, which is our fiscal year 2018. The amendment is to be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements
and disclosures.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases (Topic 842).”
Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required
to recognize, for all leases of 12 months or more, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the
right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of
financial statements better understand the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. This ASU is effective for public reporting
companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be adopted
using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on its condensed
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “
Compensation – Stock Compensation”
(topic 718). The FASB
issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based
payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified,
including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on
the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the new standard.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations
and Licensing
” (topic 606). In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net)”
(topic 606). These amendments provide additional
clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance
obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides
a customer with either a right to use an entity’s intellectual property or a right to access an entity’s intellectual
property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal
versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10
and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, which we intend to adopt for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
In
May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements
and Practical Expedients”
, which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash
consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
“Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts
and Cash Payments”
(“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and
cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply,
in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently
in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material
effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

4 - Investment in Meatball Obsession, LLC
During
2011 the Company acquired a 34.62% interest in Meatball Obsession, LLC (“MO”) for a total investment of $27,032. This
investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, investments are recorded at acquisition cost plus
the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses of the entity.
At
December 31, 2011 the investment was written down to $0 due to losses incurred by MO.
The
Company’s ownership interest in MO has decreased due to dilution. At October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, the Company’s
ownership interest in MO was 12% and 12%, respectively.

a related party. The Manufacturer is co-owned by the CEO and President of the Company. The Company analyzed the relationship with
the Manufacturer to determine if the Manufacturer is a variable interest entity as defined by FASB ASC 810 “
Consolidation
”.
Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that the Manufacturer is a variable interest entity but the Company is not
the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity and therefore consolidation is not required. In addition, based on the
analysis the Company determined that the CEO and President of the Company is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest
entity and bears the risk of loss. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company grants to the Manufacturer a revocable license
to use the Company’s recipes, formulas, methods and ingredients for the preparation and production of Company’s products,
for manufacturing the Company’s product and all future improvements, modifications, substitutions and replacements developed
by the Company. The Manufacturer in turn grants the Company the exclusive right to purchase the product. Under the terms of the
agreement the Manufacturer agrees to manufacture, package, and store the Company’s products and the Company has the right
to purchase products from one or more other manufacturers, distributors or suppliers. In September 2016, the agreement was amended
and restated to extend the agreement until August 2, 2021. The amended agreement contains a perpetual automatic renewal clause
for a period of one year after the expiration of the initial term. During the renewal period either party may cancel the contract
with written notice nine months prior to the termination date. The term of this Agreement shall expire on the later of the expiration
date or a date which is three (3) years following a Change of Control. For purposes of the agreement, a Change of Control shall
occur when a third party who is not currently a shareholder of the Company acquires control of at least fifty-one percent (51%)
of the voting shares of the Company.
Under
the terms of the agreement if the Company specifies any change in packaging or shipping materials which results in the manufacturer
incurring increased expense for packaging and shipping materials or in the Manufacturer being unable to utilize obsolete packaging
or shipping materials in ordinary packaging or shipping, the Company agrees to pay as additional product cost the additional cost
for packaging and shipping materials and to purchase at cost such obsolete packaging and shipping materials. If the Company requests
any repackaging of the product, other than due to defects in the original packaging, the Company will reimburse the Manufacturer
for any labor costs incurred in repackaging. Per the agreement, all product delivery shipping costs are the expense of the Company.
The Company agreed with the Manufacturer at the end of the last fiscal year that Company would purchase a minimum of $963,000
of product each month and that any amount below that sum would be a charge of 12% of that shortfall each month. In return, the
Manufacturer obligated itself to offer the Company competitive prices and would not co-pack for other suppliers and would either
maintain or lower its payable to the Company each quarter. In addition, the Manufacturer agreed to rebate the Company any overage
of gross margin above 12% each month.
From
time to time the Company will make investments in equipment located at the Manufacturer’s facility. The equipment
is capitalized and depreciated by the Company over the estimated useful life.
During
the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company purchased inventory of $2,931,539 and $2,210,261, respectively,

The
Company entered into a fourth Financial Advisory and Investment Banking Agreement with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”)
effective April 1, 2015 (the “Spartan Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Spartan Advisory Agreement, the Company
shall pay to Spartan a non-refundable monthly fee of $10,000 through October 1, 2015. The monthly fee shall survive any termination
of the Agreement. Additionally, (i) if at least $4,000,000 is raised in the Financing, the Company shall pay to Spartan a non-refundable
fee of $5,000 per month from November 1, 2015 through October 2017; and (ii) if at least $5,000,000 is raised in the Financing,
the Company shall pay to Spartan a non-refundable fee of $5,000 per month from November 1, 2017 through October 2019. If $10,000,000
or more is raised in the Financing, the Company shall issue to Spartan shares of its common stock having an aggregate value of
$5,000 (as determined by reference to the average volume weighted average trading price for the last five trading days of the
immediately preceding month) on the first day of each month during the period from November 1, 2015 through October 1, 2019.
The
Company upon closing of the Financing shall pay consideration to Spartan, in cash, a fee in an amount equal to 10% of the aggregate
gross proceeds raised in the Financing and 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Financing for expenses incurred by
Spartan. The Company shall grant and deliver to Spartan at the closing of the Financing, for nominal consideration, five year
warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock
(and/or shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of securities or upon conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable
securities) sold at such closing. The warrants shall be exercisable at any time during the five year period commencing on the
closing to which they relate at an exercise price equal to the purchase price per share of common stock paid by investors in the
Financing or, in the case of exercisable, convertible, or exchangeable securities, the exercise, conversion or exchange price
thereof. If the Financing is consummated by means of more than one closing, Spartan shall be entitled to the fees provided herein
with respect to each such closing.
During
the year ended January 31, 2016, the Company paid to Spartan a one-time engagement fee of $10,000. In connection with the Initial
Closing, the Company agreed to pay an aggregate cash fee and non-accountable allowance of $157,300. The Company also granted warrants
to purchase 179,259 shares of common stock at $0.675 per share. The warrants have a grant date fair value of $84,547 which is
treated as a direct cost of the Financing and has been recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital. During the nine
