Note 1. Organization, Recent History, and Description of Businesses-Past and Present
Description of Businesses: Present and Recent Past
IronClad Encryption Corporation (formerly Butte Highlands Mining Corporation) is a company developing and licensing cyber software technology to secure data files (stored and at rest) and electronic communications (in motion from electronic transmission over the internet or through telephone systems). Data at rest and in motion are both safeguarded from unauthorized access through the use of dynamic encryption and perpetual authentication.
InterLok Key Management, Inc. (“InterLok”, formerly InterLok Key Management, LLC) is the company that initially developed and maintained the patents and was formed in Texas on June 12, 2006 and incorporated ten years later on June 16, 2016.
On January 6, 2017 InterLok entered into a Share Exchange Agreement ("Share Exchange") with Butte Highlands Mining Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholders of InterLok Key Management, Inc. exchanged all 56,655,891 outstanding shares of InterLok’s common stock for 56,655,891 shares of Class A common stock of Butte Highlands Mining Company.
The Share Exchange was treated as a “reverse merger” with InterLok Key Management, Inc. which is deemed—for accounting recognition purposes—as the accounting acquirer and Butte Highlands Mining Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting. The reverse merger is deemed a recapitalization and the consolidated financial statements represent the substantive continuation of the operations and thus the prior year financial statements of operations are the operating results of its subsidiary InterLok Key Management, Inc., while the capital structure (in terms of authorized preferred and common stock) of its parent Butte Highlands Mining Company remains intact.
Subsequently, the company was renamed IronClad Encryption Corporation to better identify with IronClad’s products and services.
IronClad Encryption Corporation is a next-generation cyber defense company that secures digital assets and communications across a wide range of industries and technologies. IronClad Encryption-powered solutions use our patented Dynamic Encryption and Perpetual Authentication technologies to make all known key-based encryption technologies virtually impossible to compromise. Dynamic Encryption Technology eliminates vulnerabilities caused by exposure of any single encryption key by continuously changing encryption keys and keeping the keys synchronized in a fault-tolerant manner.
Perpetual Authentication Technology uses multiple virtual channels for encryption so that in the event one channel is compromised, the other channels maintain encryption integrity. Together, these technologies not only eliminate the single point of failure problem created by having keys exposed through brute force, side channel, or other types of attack, but do so with very low latency and system performance overhead. Developers, MSPs, MSSPs and IT organizations can now easily and effectively integrate ultra-secure authentication and encryption measures across essentially all mediums. This includes the latest processors and operating systems, legacy hardware and software, within or between networks, and on compartmentalized data or entire databases.
History
The “Company” is the term used in these statements and notes to refer to the entity originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1929. The registered name of the Company until early in 2017 was Butte Highlands Mining Company (“Butte”).

Butte was formed to explore and mine primarily for gold in the Butte Highlands’ “Only Chance” mine, south of Butte, Montana. Butte ceased operating as a mining company in 1942. The Company was reorganized in October 1996 for the purpose of acquiring and developing additional mineral properties. At the time of the 1996 reorganization, stockholders representing approximately 76% of the outstanding capital stock could not be located. In order to obtain the voting quorum necessary for the special meetings of shareholders to authorize the reorganization, Butte obtained an order from the Superior Court of Spokane County, Washington appointing a trustee for the benefit of those stockholders who could not be located.
By May 17, 2007, eleven years after the reorganization and very limited results from its mining activities, the Company had disposed of all of its historical mineral properties or mining claims and eventually became a “shell company” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
In 2009, Butte registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purpose of becoming a reporting company. The Company’s common stock then became listed on the OTCBB, but in time the Company also listed its common stock to trade on the OTC QB electronic market, one of the OTC Markets Group over-the-counter markets, where the Company’s common stock is now listed.
Then, following ten years of being a shell company with only nominal activity and limited cash or other assets, the business focus of Butte changed early in 2017. Most notably the Company raised significant capital to implement its new business and financial plans to further develop the licensing and commercial use of its patented encryption software. The change caused Butte to lose its previous shell company status.
The Company also changed its state of incorporation to Nevada and its name to IronClad Encryption Corporation (“IronClad”) and changed the stock symbol from BTHI to IRNC to more appropriately reflect the fundamental change of its business to developing cyber encryption technology and away from its historical mining activities. On October 16, 2017, the Company redomiciled in Delaware from Nevada and adopted a certificate of incorporation and bylaws as a Delaware corporation. The terms “Company”, “IronClad” and “Butte” all refer to the same individual corporate entity, but the uses of the IronClad and Butte names are used to refer to different eras of the Company’s long history. The historical eras generally coincide with the changes in business focus before and after the first weeks of 2017.
The business changes are a result of a common stock exchange transaction, accounted for as a “reverse merger”, between Butte and the owners of InterLok Key Management, Inc. (at the time an independent and privately-held Texas corporation) whereby InterLok became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Butte. Butte issued shares of its common stock in exchange for acquiring all of the common stock of InterLok. Through December 31, 2017, InterLok was the only subsidiary of the Company and InterLok’s patents and line of business now are the main basis of the business of the Company on a consolidated basis. During the transition three month period ended March 31, 2018; the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary IronClad Pipeline IC, Inc. (“Pipeline”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IronClad and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The above unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information

(Unaudited)
Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the three month transition period ended March 31, 2018 (or for the year ended December 31, 2017).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished here include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2019.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative operating losses since inception. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve its objectives and attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations. As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $24,325,166. The Company's working capital deficit is $7,906,002 (current assets minus current liabilities; current liabilities in this case being greater than current assets).
Achievement of the Company's objectives will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing, to generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and to effectively manage product and software development, operating and capital costs. The Company is in a development stage and has generated no operating revenue, profits or positive cash flows from operations (except for operations related to IronClad Pipeline IC, Inc. which are now discontinued).
The Company plans to fund its future operations by potential sales of its common stock or by issuing debt securities. However, there is no assurance that IronClad will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets nor the implication of associated bankruptcy costs should IronClad be unable to continue as a going concern.
Revenue Recognition and Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC 606 — Revenue From Contracts With Customers
. We recognize revenue when we have identified a contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction prices, when we allocate the transaction prices to the performance obligation in the contract and we recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance in the contract. Revenues for the three and six month periods were recognized as services were performed and invoiced to the customer based on the standard hourly rates agreed to in the terms of the contract.

We record trade accounts receivable at net realizable value where appropriate. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts, if any, to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. While the Company does have an exposure to a concentration of credit risk (of one customer at this point) we view the risk is limited due the financial strength and liquidity of the multi-billion dollar energy customer that has operated profitably for over a century.
Fair Value Measures
The Company's financial instruments, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10-50
Financial Instruments—Overall
(and subtopics)
, include cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. All instruments are accounted for on an historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates their fair values at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018.
The standards under ASC 820
Fair Value Measurement
define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
At September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company did not have any assets measured at fair value other than cash and deposits. The Company does have conversion features embedded in its convertible notes payable. The fair value measurement of those features, using a Binomial options pricing valuation model at September 30, 2018, is $5,268,834, using a term of six months; stock value between $0.44 and $0.62; volatility between 164.9% and 214.3% and a risk free interest rate between 2.16% and 2.36%. The value at March 31, 2018 using a Black Scholes valuation model was $234,138. The amounts are reported as a derivative liability on the balance sheet.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10- 25
Income Taxes – Recognition
. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis amounts of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax asset amounts if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by ASC 740-10-25-5 to allow recognition of such an asset. See Note 10.
Capitalization of Patent and Trademark Costs
The Company capitalizes its legal, patent agent and related filing fees and costs directly associated with the patents it holds and is developing. The amounts are carried as an intangible asset in the financial statements. The costs of the patents or trademarks are amortized ratably (expensed) over the expected useful technological or economic life of the individual assets. The legal life of a patent is typically about 17 years. See Note 4.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to provide greater line item detail for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. This change in classification has no effect on previously reported cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and had no effect on the previously reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for any period
.
New Accounting Requirements and Disclosures
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
FASB issued standard
ASU 2018-07 — Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting
related to changes in stock compensation. IronClad has early adopted this new standard in the current period and recognition of expenses for outstanding options were re-evaluated for compliance and will be recognized on a straight line basis through final vesting of the respective options.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses at the balance sheet date and for the period then ended. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements include:
estimates in the calculation of share-based compensation expense,
estimates in the value of our embedded derivative liabilities,
estimates made in our income tax calculations, and
estimates in the assessment of possible litigation claims against the company.
We are subject to claims and liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses when such losses are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Note 3. Accounts Receivable and Revenue
Customer Service
During the three month transition period ended March 31, 2018, IronClad formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Ironclad Pipeline IC, Inc. which began generating a modest level of revenue through a moderately profitable service contract with a major energy company in the eastern United States. The services were to provide an array of services in support of an infrastructure project.
The $0 and $301,978 of receivables at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 respectively are for $0 and $229,745, respectively, of services rendered and the balance is for reimbursable costs incurred, approved by

the customer, billed (and paid promptly). Payment terms are for payment to be made within 30 days; the receivables were collected well within that period. There are no billings subsequent September 30, 2018.
In mid-July 2018 our customer notified the Company of its intent to exercise an option in its contract to end our services under the contract. Consequently, our services were discontinued effective July 28, 2018. Revenue earned and invoiced through that point in time was $200,975. The customer also elected to retain the services of the individuals previously employed by IronClad Pipeline IC, Inc. on a going forward basis. All invoiced amounts that were billed for services under the contract through the end-date of the contract were submitted, approved and paid promptly and in full by the customer. No further services will be provided to this customer and thus no further revenue will be earned from this customer in the foreseeable future.

Amortization expenses for intangible assets during the six month period ended September 30, 2018 and the six month period ended September 30, 2017 were $30 and $15, respectively. Costs totaling $382,536 for new patents and trademarks under development (but as yet not awarded) are capitalized at September 30, 2018. The patents and trademarks under development will not be amortized until formally issued. To the extent that a patent or trademark is not ultimately awarded the associated costs will be expensed accordingly at the time such an outcome is apparent.
In addition to its three original patents IronClad has also filed fourteen patent applications during the period ended September 30, 2018 (both in the US and internationally). These pending patents expand upon the initial scope of the original “seminal” patents and provide up to twenty additional years of enforceable intellectual property rights regarding authentication, validation, and encryption for all electronic transmissions associated devices. IronClad’s current and original patent portfolio includes three issued and granted US patents. Of the three original granted patents, one patent expired in September 2017, another expired in March 2018 and the third of the original patents expired in June 2018. Any remaining amounts on these three patents was written off at September 30, 2018
IronClad has received allowances from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for six new patents, and expects to have these and one additional patent, for a total of seven patents issued by the USPTO no later than December 31, 2018. In addition, IronClad plans to convert seven more patents by December 31, 2018, and expects them to be allowed in the first half of 2019. International patent protection has also been filed for all fourteen of these pending patents.
Note 5. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had $0 and $0 on deposit in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
The Company did have a nominal exposure to a concentration of credit risk: all of our revenue was from one customer. However, we viewed the risk as limited because of the financial strength and liquidity of the multi-billion dollar energy customer that has operated profitably for more than a century.
All invoice amounts that were billed for services under the contract through the end date of our contract with the customer were submitted, approved and were paid promptly and in full by the customer. Our nominal credit risk to the one customer is now only in the past.
Note 6 Related Party Transactions
At September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 the Company owed approximately $34,653 and $79,542 in accounts payable to management and related parties.
During the three month transition period ended March 31, 2018, IronClad entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to $500,000 at 8.5% interest. The Company had borrowed the full amount of the loan, repaid $100,000 and then amended the loan and reborrowed $100,000. As of September 30, 2018 all $500,000 of the original principal and the subsequent $100,000 draw ($600,000 in cumulative repayments) were repaid and the only amount owed under the agreement is the cumulative accrued interest of $17,816.
The Company pledged 500,000 of its common stock as collateral under the terms of the Agreement. In the event of default by the Company, the lender is entitled to receive one share of Company common stock for every one dollar in principle, interest, penalties, and fees that are owed and outstanding by the Company to the lender.
The Agreement is also supported by a personal $500,000 guarantee from the President of the Company.
See also Note 13 regarding stock option awards to management of the Company.
Note 7. Notes Payable
Securities Purchase Agreement, Convertible Note 12%
On June 26, 2017 IronClad entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue a 12% convertible note payable for an aggregate principal amount of $78,500 with the intent of meeting certain conditions precedent to closing and funding on or before July 7, 2017. The closing conditions were met prior to that date and the convertible note payable was closed and funded on July 6, 2017. The Company received cash proceeds of $75,000 net of transaction costs of $3,500. The $3,500 is recorded as a discount amount on the note payable and will be amortized as interest expenses over the life of the note. $1,226 was amortized in the three month period ended September 30, 2018; accrued interest payable at September 30, 2018 was zero.
The note matured on March 30, 2018 and interest costs accrue on the unpaid principal balance at 12% annually until March 30, 2018, and after that if not paid at maturity interest accrues annually at 22% until the principal amount and all interest accrued and unpaid are paid.

The holder of the note, at its sole election, could convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred and eighty days following the date of the note (dated June 26, 2017) and ending on the later of i) the maturity date, or ii) the date of payment of a default amount, if any.
The shares to be issued are a function of a variable conversion price which is 65% of a market price defined to be the lowest one day closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the fifteen-day trading period ending on the last trading day prior to exercising the conversion right. The Company will keep available authorized shares reserved, initially 289,846 shares, but in any event authorized shares equal to six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the note from time to time.
The conversion feature of the note represents an embedded derivative. The derivative value at December 23, 2017 was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Accounting recognition of $126,578 for the fair value of the derivative liability, $73,272 (net of $4,116 of amortization) was recorded as a contra liability to the original $78,500 recorded liability of the underlying convertible note, and a $49,190 loss was recognized as a fair valuation adjustment to earnings.
Between January 10, 2018 and January 28, 2018, the note holder exercised its rights under the conversion provisions and through operation of the five conversion elections was issued, in total, 50,322 shares of stock which effectively repaid the loan balance.

Commitment Note and Convertible Note
On August 24, 2017, IronClad entered into an Investment Agreement to establish an equity line of funding for the potential future issuance and purchase of IronClad’s shares of Class A common stock. See Note 8.
As consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of IronClad’s Class A common stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement, IronClad issued to the counterparty of the agreement a seven-month 10% convertible promissory note (the “Commitment Note”) in the principal amount of $100,000. The Commitment Note matures on March 24, 2018. The Commitment Note is convertible into shares of IronClad’s Class A common stock at the fixed price of $3.25 per share; provided, however, that at any time and from time to time after a default (as of September 30, 2017, and to the date of the filing of this report, no events of default have occurred) occurs solely due to the fact the Commitment Note is not retired on or before the maturity date, all or any part of the Commitment Note is convertible into shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a per share price equal to the lower of: (a) $3.25 or (b) 65% of the average of the two lowest per share trading prices of the Class A common stock during the twenty consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date.

The Commitment Note is included as a financing fee expense at the date of the transaction. The Commitment Note was to finance the $100,000 cost of the commitment fee to the counterparty of the Investment Agreement and is accordingly included in the financing fee expenses for the period ended September 30, 2017. The amount of the commitment fee could be reduced by $35,000 or $17,500 if a registration statement registering the shares that would be issued under the equity line becomes effective within 90 or 135 days, respectively, of August 24, 2017.
The registration statement was declared effective on December 18, 2017 a period less than 135 days (but more than 90 days) after August 24, 2017. Consequently, the principal balance of the commitment fee was reduced by $17,500 and $100,000 of financing fee expenses originally recognized in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 were adjusted to reflect a lower $82,500 financing fee expense.
On August 24, 2017, in connection with the entry into the Investment Agreement, IronClad also issued a 10% convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $330,000 with a 10% original issue discount (“OID”). The initial consideration in the amount of $165,000 was funded on August 24, 2017. The Company received net proceeds of $150,000 (which represents the deduction of the 10% original issue discount for the note holder’s due diligence and legal fees). The Company may make additional borrowings in such amounts and at such dates as the note holder may choose in its sole discretion. The balance of an individual borrowing matures seven months from its funding date.
The Convertible Note also has an embedded beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) based on a stated conversion price of $1.00 per share. The market price of a share of IronClad’s common stock at the time of the first borrowing under the note was $3.50 thus establishing an intrinsic value of $2.50 on that date.
The Company received the first borrowing for $165,000 under the Convertible Note on August 24, 2017 and net cash proceeds of $150,000 were received after deducting for the original issue discount and lender transaction costs of $15,000. An additional $12,000 of costs was incurred by IronClad directly relating to the note. Both the $15,000 and the $12,000 are recorded as discount amounts on the $165,000 note payable and are amortized as interest expenses over the life of the borrowing. The maturity date of this borrowing under the note is seven months from its funding date which is March 24, 2018.
On March 26, 2018 the Convertible Note holder elected to convert $10,000 of principal balance into 9,958 shares of Class A common stock.
On June 1, 2018 the Convertible Note holder elected to convert an additional $20,000 of principal balance into 32,219 shares of Class A common stock.
On July 17, 2018 the Convertible Note holder elected to convert an additional $20,000 of principal balance into 61,538 shares of Class A common stock.
On August 23, 2018 the Convertible Note holder elected to convert an additional $10,000 of principal balance into 73,260 shares of Class A common stock.
On September 14, 2018 the Convertible Note holder elected to convert an additional $20,000 of principal balance into 236,686 shares of Class A common stock.
The valuation of the BCF related to the $165,000 borrowing on the Convertible Note and with an intrinsic value of $2.50 per share (based on a $3.50 closing price less the $1.00 per share conversion price) was approximately $424,407 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. That amount was recorded as a contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. The amount of the beneficial

conversion feature formally recorded was $138,000 ($165,000 net of $27,000) and is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan. The full amount of the conversion feature was amortized as interest expense through the March 24, 2018 maturity date of the note.
On October 23, 2017, a second borrowing of $82,500 under the Convertible Note for $330,000 was closed and funded. The Company received net proceeds of $75,000 after deducting for original issue discount and lender transaction costs of $7,500. An additional $6,000 of costs was incurred by IronClad relating to the Convertible Note. Both the $7,500 and the $6,000 were recorded as discount amounts on the $82,500 note payable and amortized as interest expenses over the life of the borrowing. The maturity date of this borrowing under the Convertible Note was also defined to be seven months from its borrowing date which was May 24, 2018. The market price of a share of IronClad’s common stock at the time of funding was $4.40 making the intrinsic value of the derivative $3.40. The valuation of the BCF was estimated to be approximately $289,000 and is capped at $69,000, the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. The full amount of the conversion feature was amortized as interest expense through the May 24, 2018 maturity date of the note.
On March 15, 2018, a third and final borrowing of $82,500 under the Convertible Note for $330,000 was closed and funded. The Company received net proceeds of $75,000 after deducting for original issue discount and lender transaction costs of $7,500 and an additional $6,000 of loan closing costs incurred by IronClad. The maturity date of this borrowing under the Convertible Note is also defined to be seven months from its borrowing date which is October 24, 2018. The market price of a share of IronClad’s common stock at the time of funding was $1.85 making the intrinsic value of the derivative $0.85.
The valuation of the BCF related to the $82,500 borrowing on the Convertible Note and with an intrinsic value of $0.85 per share (based on a $1.85 closing price less the $1.00 per share conversion price) was approximately $109,861 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. That amount was recorded as a contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature formally recorded was $69,000 ($82,500 net of $13,500) and is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan. The unamortized balances of the OID and BCF at September 30, 2018 are $946.26 and $4,836.45, respectively.
On March 24, 2018 both the Commitment Note ($100,000 contractually reduced to $82,500 in 2017) and the first tranche of the 10% Convertible Note for $165,000 (less the $10,000 conversion in late March) reached their maturity dates and, except for a $10,000 conversion by the note holder on the Convertible Note, were not repaid in cash. Consequently both notes were in “maturity date default” and, pursuant to the terms of the loans, were convertible at the lesser of $3.25 for the Commitment Note, and $1.00 for $165,000 note or 65% of the average lowest two trades for the prior 20 days, resulting in an initial recognition for derivative treatments for both notes.
The valuation of the derivative liability related to the $82,500 borrowing on the Convertible Note and with an intrinsic value of $0.70 per share (based on a $1.67 closing price less the $0.97 per share present value of the conversion price) was approximately $79,138 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. That amount was recorded as a new contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. This results in a net liability value of $3,362 at the time. The amount was amortized as interest expense over an estimated “remaining” three month life of the already matured loan. At June 30, 2018, the $79,138 was fully amortized.
The valuation of the derivative liability related to the $165,000 (reduced to $155,000) borrowing on the Convertible Note and with an intrinsic value of $0.70 per share (based on a $1.67 closing price less the $0.97 per share present value of the conversion price) was approximately $158,276 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. That amount was recorded as a new contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and

transaction costs), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. Since the undiscounted (and unconverted) amount of the note was $155,000 the derivative valuation was recorded as $155,000.
The amount was amortized as interest expense over an estimated “remaining” three month life of the already matured loan. On June 1, 2018 $20,000 of the note was converted, reducing the outstanding balance to $135,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018 an additional $50,000 of the note was converted, reducing the outstanding balance to $85,000. The full amount of the contra liability was amortized as interest expense through the three month amortization period that ended on June 24, 2018.
At May 23, 2018 the second tranche of the 10% Convertible Note for $82,500 reached its maturity date and was not repaid in cash. Consequently the note was in “maturity date default” and pursuant to the terms of the loan was convertible at the lesser of $1.00 or 65% of the average lowest two trades for the prior 20days, resulting in initial recognition for derivative treatment.
The valuation of the derivative liability related to the $82,500 borrowing on the Convertible Note and with an intrinsic value of $0.6912 per share is approximately $57,024 using a Binomial pricing model. That amount is recorded as a new contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs). The amount will be amortized as interest expense over an estimated “remaining” three month life of the already matured loan
At June 30, 2018 the prior period’s derivative liabilities were re-measured, as the notes were still outstanding, the derivative liability was revalued using a binomial pricing model. At period end the total valuation of new derivative liabilities related to three loans was approximately $1,730,692 for individual valuation amounts of $558,338, $637,153 and $535,201.
Convertible Notes, 12%
On January 25, 2018 IronClad entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue a new 12% convertible note payable for an aggregate principal amount of $88,000. The Company received cash proceeds of $85,000 net of transaction costs of $3,000. The $3,000 is recorded as a discount amount on the note payable and will be amortized as interest expenses over the life of the note. The general terms of the note, except for the principal amount borrowed, are identical to the initial 12% Convertible note entered into in 2017 and converted earlier in January 2018.
The note matures on October 30, 2018 and interest costs accrue on the unpaid principal balance at 12% annually until October 30, 2018, and after that if not paid at maturity interest accrues annually at 22% until the principal amount and all interest accrued and unpaid are paid.
The holder of the note, at its sole election, could convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred and eighty days following the date of the note (dated January 25, 2018) and ending on the later of i) the maturity date, or ii) the date of payment of a default amount, if any.
The shares to be issued are a function of a variable conversion price which is 65% of a market price defined to be the lowest one day closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the fifteen-day trading period ending on the last trading day prior to exercising the conversion right. The Company would keep available authorized shares reserved, initially 289,846 shares, but in any event authorized shares equal to six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the note from time to time. At June 30, 2018 a derivative liability with an intrinsic value of $0.2404 was $57,990 using a binomial pricing model and was recorded as a discount to the note.

On February 27, 2018 IronClad entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue a 12% convertible note payable for an aggregate principal amount of $53,000. The Company received cash proceeds of $50,000 net of transaction costs of $3,000. The $3,000 is recorded as a discount amount on the note payable and will be amortized as interest expenses over the life of the note. The general terms of the note, except for the principal amount borrowed, are identical to the initial 12% Convertible note entered into in 2017 and converted earlier in January 2018.
The note matures on November 03, 2018 and interest costs accrue on the unpaid principal balance at 12% annually until November 30, 2018, and after that if not paid at maturity interest accrues annually at 22% until the principal amount and all interest accrued and unpaid are paid.
The holder of the note, at its sole election, may convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred and eighty days following the date of the note (dated February 27, 2018) and ending on the later of i) the maturity date, or ii) the date of payment of a default amount, if any.
The shares to be issued are a function of a variable conversion price which is 65% of a market price defined to be the lowest one day closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the fifteen-day trading period ending on the last trading day prior to exercising the conversion right. The Company will keep available authorized shares reserved, initially 289,846 shares, but in any event authorized shares equal to six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the note from time to time.
The conversion feature of the note represents an embedded derivative. The derivative liability with an intrinsic value of $0.2981 was $42,862 using a binomial pricing model and was recorded as a discount to the note.
On August 21, 2018 the loan principal was repaid plus accrued interest, both totaling $75,620, and the note was fully retired.
New Convertible Note, 10%
On June 26, 2018 IronClad entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue a 10% convertible note payable for an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The Company received cash proceeds of $235,000 net of transaction costs of $15,000. The $15,000 is recorded as a discount amount on the note payable and will be amortized as interest expenses over the life of the note. The general terms of the note, except for the principal amount borrowed, are nearly identical to the initial 10% Convertible note entered into in 2017.
The note matures on December 26, 2018 and interest costs accrue on the unpaid principal balance at 10% annually until December 26, 2018, and after that if not paid at maturity interest accrues annually at 24% until the principal amount and all interest accrued and unpaid are paid.
The holder of the note, at its sole election, may convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at any time on or following the date of the Note from the and ending on the later of i) the maturity date, or ii) the date of payment of a default amount, if any.
The shares to be issued are a function of a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share, or an alternate variable conversion price, triggered by events such as stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings which is 70% of a market price defined to be the lowest five day closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the twenty-day trading period ending on the last trading day prior to exercising the conversion right. The

Company will keep available authorized shares reserved, initially 3,081,854 shares, but in any event authorized shares equal to five times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the note from time to time.
The conversion feature of the note represents an embedded derivative. A derivative liability with an intrinsic value of $0.03281 was $189,211 using a binomial pricing model and was calculated as a discount to the note. That amount is recorded as a new contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs and amounts discussed immediately below), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable.
As a commitment fee for the Note, the Company issued the holder 240,384 shares of common stock to be held in escrow until the Note is repaid. The holder will keep the shares, if the Note is not retired prior to its maturity date. The shares were valued at $165,865 and were recorded as a discount on the note.
Included in the share purchase agreement was a common stock purchase warrant issued by the Company to the holder to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share, exercisable for four years. The warrants were valued at $43,121 using a Black Scholes option pricing model and were recorded as a discount on the note.
The sum of the $14,672 unamortized original issue discount ($15,000 at the outset of the loan) plus the $43,121 recorded value of the warrants, plus the $165,865 valuation of the commitment fee related to the 240,384 shares plus the $189,211 valuation of the derivative related to the conversion feature total $412,869 which is in excess of the $250,000 value of the loan principal. Total amounts to be recorded as contra loan amounts cannot exceed the $250,000 nominal amount of the loan.
Because of the derivative nature of the $189,211 valuation of the conversion feature, $162,869 of the total $412,869 amount is recorded as an expense in the current period and reported as a financing expense.
On October 11, 2018 the Holder elected to convert $100,000 of the principal amount into 1,210,654 shares of restricted common stock.
On November 1, 2018 the remaining loan principal of $150,000 was repaid plus accrued interest, both totaling $158,873.28 and the note was fully retired.

Interest is to be paid annually in cash on March 1, 2019 and 2020. There is no penalty for any early principal repayments. The Company has pledged 500,000 of its common stock as collateral under the terms of the Agreement. In the event of default by the Company, the lender is entitled to receive one share of Company common stock for every one dollar in principle, interest, penalties, and fees that are owed and outstanding by the Company to Layer 3 Communications.
The Agreement is also supported by a personal $500,000 guarantee from an officer of the Company.
Terms of the Agreement specify the use of funds to be limited to only supporting the operations of its new service contract. The terms of the Agreement were amended, effective June 11, 2018, to also permit the use of funds for certain new patent application filings of IronClad.
On March 16, 2018, IronClad purchased several lines of corporate insurance coverage for a set of annual premiums that totaled $30,719. To pay for the coverage, IronClad paid $2,631 down on the coverages and entered into a financing agreement to borrow the $28,087 balance owed for the coverage. Interest on the loan is approximately 6% and the loan is repaid by eleven monthly principal and interest installment payments of $2,631 each. The cost of the insurance is recorded as a prepaid asset and is being amortized monthly over the annual period of the coverages. During the period ended September 30, 2018 this note was paid in full.
New Loan Agreement including Convertible Note, 9%
On July 11, 2018 IronClad entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) to issue a 9% convertible note payable for an aggregate principal amount of $270,000 comprised of the first note (“First Note”) being in the amount of $135,000.00, and the remaining note in the amount of $135,000.00, (a “Back End Note”). The Company received cash proceeds of $126,500 from the First Note net of transaction costs of $8,500. The $8,500 is recorded as a discount amount on the note payable and will be amortized as interest expenses over the life of the note.
The First Note matures on July 11, 2019 and interest costs accrue on the unpaid principal balance at 9% annually until July 11, 2019, and after that if not paid at maturity interest accrues annually at 24% until the principal amount and all interest accrued and unpaid are paid.
The Back End Note carries the same terms as the First Note, except it may not be repaid, but only converted. The Company is under no obligation to accept the Back End Note, but may do so at its sole discretion, following 180 days from the date of the note (dated July 11, 2018). As part of the SPA, the Holder issued the Company a collateralized secured promissory note in the amount of $131,500 that may be exchanged for cash against the Back End Note.
The holder of the note, at its sole election, may convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at any time during the period beginning on the date which is 180 days following the date of the note (dated July 11, 2018) and ending on the later of i) the maturity date, or ii) the date of payment of a default amount, if any.
The shares to be issued are a function of a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share for six months, and thereafter until maturity at a variable conversion price which is 65% of a market price defined to be the lowest trading price for the Company’s common stock during the fifteen-day trading period ending on the last trading day prior to exercising the conversion right. The Company will keep available authorized shares reserved, initially 1,730,000 shares, but in any event the number of reserved shares at least equals 400% of the number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note.

The valuation of the derivative liability related to the $135,000 borrowing on the First Note and with an intrinsic value of $0.54 per share is approximately $248,386 using a binomial pricing model. That amount is recorded as a contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. The amount of the derivative liability formally recorded is $126,500 ($135,000 net of $8,500) and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan. The remaining $121,886 is expensed as financing fees.

Note 10. Income Taxes
Federal and state income taxes are not currently due since IronClad has had losses since inception. Since the Company provides services to a customer in Virginia, IronClad is also subject to Virginia state income tax reporting.
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25
Income Taxes – Recognition.
Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.
Significant components of the deferred tax asset amounts at an anticipated tax rate of 21% for the period ended September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 are as follows:

Note 11. Share Exchange Agreement
On January 6, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with InterLok Key Management, Inc. wherein Butte agreed to issue 56,655,891 restricted shares of Butte’s common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of InterLok Key Management, Inc. common stock. InterLok Key Management, Inc. is engaged in the business of developing and licensing its patented key-based encryption methods.
On January 6, 2017, Butte completed its Share Exchange Agreement with the owners of InterLok and issued 56,655,891 restricted shares of Butte’s common stock to 29 persons and entities in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of InterLok Key Management, Inc.’s common stock. Immediately following completion of the share exchange agreement, the Company’s new board of directors elected, through a series of board resolutions and regulatory filings, to change the Company’s name to IronClad Encryption Corporation from Butte, to move the Company to Nevada from Delaware, and to change its stock trading symbol to IRNC from BTHI.
The Share Exchange was treated as a reverse merger with InterLok Key Management, Inc. deemed, for accounting recognition purposes, the accounting acquirer and Butte Highlands Mining Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting. The reverse merger is deemed a recapitalization and the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of operations represent the substantive continuation of the operations and thus the financial statements of InterLok Key Management, Inc., while the capital structure (with respect to authorized, issued and outstanding shares of preferred and common stock) of Butte Highlands Mining Company--now using the name IronClad--remains intact.
Note 12. Share Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plan
The Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders subsequently approved, the IronClad Encryption Corporation 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of January 6, 2017. The purpose of the Plan is to foster and promote the long-term financial success of the Company and thereby increase stockholder value. The Plan provides for the award of equity incentives to certain employees, directors, or officers of, or key advisers or consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth or success of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan is thirty million (30,000,000) shares of Class A common stock. On October 17, 2017, in connection with the change of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors adopted the Amended and Restated IronClad Encryption Corporation 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”).
Additionally, from time to time, we issue non-compensatory warrants, such as warrants issued to investors.
Restricted Stock
The fair value of restricted stock awards classified as equity awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the date of grant. Such awards do not grant any rights as a shareholder of the company until a certificate for the vested shares of common stock has been issued. During the year ended December 31, 2017, 287,500 shares were granted for services, none were forfeited (none were issued prior to 2017). Expenses of approximately $709,000 were recorded in connection with the stock issued as grants for services; $349,000 for business development and $360,000 for investor relations.
