-ü- (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form  

N-CEN, Form N-CSR or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the

(c)  The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. 


PART III – NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

IronClad Encryption Corporation (the “Company” or “IronClad”) has determined that it is not able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed date without unreasonable effort or expense.  IronClad has limited internal staff resources. The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

 

In the last thirty months the Company has also entered into approximately 24 note agreements of which 22 were convertible (4 in the nine month period ending December 31, 2019). Of the notes, 9 (all convertible) are outstanding at December 31, 2019 (there are also 9 related derivative liabilities still outstanding of 22 since inception).

 

In addition, over 50 note conversions of principal to common stock have occurred on several of the loans during the three month period ended December 31, 2019 during which the Company issued 2,006,659,876, and then subsequent to December 13, 2019 an additional 555,690,115 shares of its Class A shares.  The convertible loans have beneficial conversion features or derivative liability elements requiring complex quantitative valuation efforts and reporting requirements at inception, on dates of conversions, and at subsequent reporting periods.  Due to these factors, IronClad needs additional time to complete its reporting on the Form 10-Q for the three month period.

 

PART IV – OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification.

 

         David G. Gullickson               888                  362-7972 x710

                 (Name)                   (Area Code)         (Telephone Number)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports) been filed?  If the answer is no, identify report(s).      ü Yes  --- No

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal

year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?   ü Yes  --- No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

Net losses to be reported for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 are approximately $2,850,000.

Net operating losses are estimated to be about $2,380,000.  The net operating losses disclosed here are reflective of similar rates of cost incurrence and losses reported for the three month period ended December 31, 2018 ($2,952,133).  One difference between the current nine-month period and the prior period is that the prior year included revenue ($780,211) and related service costs of a project, since ended, that is not a part of revenue ($0 this fiscal quarter and year) and expenses in the current year.

Net losses for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the prior period in 2018 also vary as a result of fluctuations in interest and financing fee costs and gains and losses related to valuations and revaluations, as appropriate, of derivative liabilities and related fluctuations in our stock price.

Common shares outstanding at December 31, 2019: 2,310,104,896; & 2,865,795,011 as of the date of this filing.
