Under its business plan implemented in February 2020, the Company is an innovation incubator platform devoted to globally important paradigm shifts in technology, sustainable and carbon negative products development and practical deployment worldwide. The Company seeks to license and develop innovative technologies in the sustainable and renewable energy field.
Accounting policies and procedures are listed below. The Company has adopted a December 31 year-end.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
the Company had
Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted under outstanding convertible debt and outstanding common stock warrants.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets,
including intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost
carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the
undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the
undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as
the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company evaluated long lived assets for impairment determined
| 10 |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| · | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| · | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| · | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. We measure our investment in marketable securities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s trading securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments and derivative liabilities are valued on a recurring basis.
The following summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

Stock- Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees and non- employees be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not adopted a Stock Option Plan and has not issued any options.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method of depreciation over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. When items of fixed assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.
| 11 |
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014- 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018.
Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. The Company recognized revenue from the sale of services at the time in which the services are delivered pursuant to the contract.
The Company had $
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation primarily the change to the Company’s par value being reflected retroactively and to reclassify related party convertible debt.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company had net losses of $
NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operation or on the reported amounted of its assets and liabilities upon adoption.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, which results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 affects the diluted earnings per share calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 allows entities to use a modified or full retrospective transition method and is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This discussion and analysis may include statements regarding our expectations with respect to our future performance, liquidity, and capital resources. Such statements, along with any other non-historical statements in the discussion, are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors listed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC''). We do not assume an obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements contained herein.
The outbreak of COVID-19 evolved into a global pandemic as COVID-19 spread to many regions of the world. In response to COVID-19, governmental authorities around the world implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures have and may continue to adversely affect workforces, customers, supply chains, consumer sentiment, economies, and financial markets. In addition, decreased consumer spending has and may continue to lead to an economic downturn globally.
Specifically, numerous state and local jurisdictions have and may in the future impose shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, shut-downs of non-essential businesses, and similar government orders and restrictions on their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in temporary facility closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and travel restrictions, among other effects, thereby adversely impacting our operations. As a result of COVID-19, we have experienced a reduction in sales of our products and slower lead times with respect to the manufacturing of our products. In addition, a downturn in the United States economy may have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending which may have a significant impact on our business operations and/or our ability to generate revenues and profits.
The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, including variants such as the delta variant, and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts of COVID-19 on our business; however, these effects could have a material impact on our operations and financial condition.
Overview and Financial Condition
We are an innovative entrant into the green technology licensing and construction space, and as a recently registered publicly traded company with our initial S-1 registration statement declared effective as of January 15, 2021 and our common stock registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on April 27, 2022, we are one of the few publicly-traded green technology development firms in the U.S. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have more than two years of implementing our business plan under new management following our change of control in late February 2020.
Our total operating and other expenses in excess of our gross profit have resulted in a net loss of $6,632,146 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and a net loss of $2,254,686 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which, considered in light of our past financial performance, give rise to the going concern statement below. In furthering our business, as described in Item 1 above concerning our business and operations, we are seeking to license commercially viable green technologies that fulfill concrete market demands, and develop product applications that we can sell into the market. Our technology licensing and product development activities are spearheaded by Julia Otey-Raudes, our Chief Executive Officer.
Green Construction Division – USA and Canada
Spruce Engineering & Construction, Inc. – Canada
Asset Purchase Agreement
On October 4, 2021, Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Spruce Construction, Inc., an Alberta Business Corporation (“Spruce Construction”) and Timothy Boetzkes ("Boetzkes"), a resident of the Province of Alberta, Canada and the sole shareholder of Spruce Construction, pursuant to which, the Company, Boetzkes and Spruce Construction agreed to effect an asset purchase agreement for existing construction equipment and form a new Canadian engineering and construction company in Canada. The Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement for the purpose of launching a green construction division in Alberta, Canada.
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Boetzkes one million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and assume as liability a contingent cash payment to Spruce Construction in the amount of approximately $104,000, specifically to pay, from future net cash flow over the next 12 months, certain of Spruce Construction’s expenses and liabilities , to purchase from Spruce Construction substantially all of the assets and business of Spruce Construction, consisting of vehicles, tools and equipment for the construction industry, the Spruce Construction name, and the existing book of construction business of Spruce Construction. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company, Boetzkes and Patrick Laurie, the CEO of the Company’s Canadian technology subsidiary, ECOIG Canada, have formed a new Alberta Business Corporation to own and deploy the acquired construction assets, named Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc. The Company owns 85% of the voting interests of Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc., with Boetzkes owning 10% and Patrick Laurie 5%.
The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions to closing, as disclosed in the term sheet for the project disclosed by the Company and filed as Exhibit 10.1 in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2021. The Company is accounting for the acquisition as a business combination under the guidance of ASC805.
On April 21, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment number one to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Boetzkes and Spruce Construction, to extend the due date for the contingent cash payments under the Asset Purchase Agreement in the amount of approximately $104,000 USD ($130,000 CAD) due to Spruce Construction under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement the $104,000 USD ($130,000 CAD) payment was due at 6 months after closing, and pursuant to the April 21, 2022 first amendment, that payment was due at 12 months after the closing date, or October 3, 2022. As of the date of this filing, none of the contingent cash payments have been made to Spruce Construction under the Asset Purchase Agreement. On December 29, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment number two to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Boetzkes and Spruce Construction, to extend the due date and establish a monthly pay schedule for the approximately $104,000 USD ($130,000 CAD) due to Boetzkes and Spruce Construction under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the December 29, 2022 second amendment, monthly payments of $4,000 are now due beginning on January 31, 2023 to continue until the entire balance is paid. Additionally, the Company agreed to provide compensation to Boetzkes of one million restricted common shares in consideration for the failure to pay by the original APA deadline, which was a result of inadequate net cash flows within Spruce Engineering & Construction, Inc.

The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions to closing, as disclosed in the term sheet for the project disclosed by the Company and filed as Exhibit 10.1 in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2021.
Lock-Up Leak-Out Agreement
On October 4, 2021, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, Boetzkes entered into a Lock-Up and Leak-Out Agreement with the Company pursuant to which, among other thing, such shareholder agreed to certain restrictions regarding the resale of the common stock issued pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement for a period of six months from the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, as more fully detailed therein.
Shareholders Agreement
On October 4, 2021, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a shareholders agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with Timothy Boetzkes and Patrick Laurie. Under the Shareholders Agreement, Patrick Laurie agreed to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Timothy Boetzkes agreed to serve as the Chief Operating Officer of Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc. The Shareholders Agreement provides for certain terms of governance, restrictive covenants including confidentiality and noncompetition, and transfer restrictions on the parties’ equity with regards to Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc.
Employment Agreements
On October 4, 2021, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc., of which the Company is the 85% voting equity holder, entered into employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with Timothy Boetzkes and Patrick Laurie, pursuant to which Patrick Laurie shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Timothy Boetzkes shall serve as the Chief Operating Officer of Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc. Ancillary to the Employment Agreements, Boetzkes and Laurie also entered into restricted stock award agreements governing their minority equity stakes in Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc., which provide for a repurchase option allowing Spruce Engineering & Construction Inc. to clawback equity in the event of the employees’ for-cause termination.
ECOX Spruce Construction, Inc. – USA
On January 4, 2022, the Company formed a subsidiary, ECOX Spruce Construction, Inc., a California corporation (“ECOX Spruce Construction”), for the purpose of starting a green construction division. Pursuant to a letter of intent (LOI) between ECOX and Edgar E. Aguilar ("Aguilar"), a resident of California and licensed California general contractor, Aguilar agreed to manage the operation of ECOX Spruce Construction’s construction business in California as its Responsible Managing Officer. Under the Company’s existing LOI with Aguilar, Blueprint Construction will own 20% of the equity interests of ECOX Spruce Construction Inc., and the Company will own 80%. ECOX Spruce Construction is in the process of securing a general contractor license in California, with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as principal applicant. That application was approved and the Company is in the process of securing workman’s compensation insurance and bonding so that the license will become active. Once ECOX Spruce Construction is fully licensed and bonded as a California general contractor, the Company intends to seek certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise.
Going Concern
Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, our independent auditors have indicated in their report on our December 31, 2021 financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which we have not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from our stockholders or other sources, as may be required. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior September 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements, and, if their revenues are less than $100 million, not providing an independent registered public accounting firm attestation on internal control over financial reporting. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $15,398 and $28,534, respectively. Furthermore, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,049,241 and $4,509,624 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our annual consolidated financial statements, meaning that there is substantial doubt we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. Our only sources for cash at this time are investments by others in this offering, selling our products and loans from our director. We must raise cash to implement our plan and stay in business.
Management believes that current trends toward lower capital investment in start-up companies pose the most significant challenge to the Company’s success over the next year and in future years. Additionally, with the January 15, 2021 effectiveness of our registration statement on Form S-1, as of January 15, 2021, the Company is obligated to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Company’s management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement is business plan and impede the speed of its operations.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. As our business model and strategy were reinvigorated with our February 2020 change in control and new management, we are in a start-up stage of operations, and in general have generated limited revenues since our inception. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations. Our success and performance are subject to all the normal risks inherent in the development of a new line of business, including our limited capital resources and the strength of our business partners’ business and financial positions, and the market for our green technologies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
On August 23, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Coventry SPA”) with Coventry Enterprises, LLC (“Coventry”), pursuant to which the Company issued a 10% promissory note (the “Coventry Note”) with a maturity date of May 9, 2023 (the “Coventry Maturity Date”), in the principal sum of $150,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Coventry Note, the Company agreed to pay $150,000 (the “Principal Sum”) to Coventry and to pay interest on the principal balance at the rate of 10% per annum. The Coventry Note carries an original issue discount (“OID”) of $30,000. Accordingly, on the Closing Date (as defined in the Coventry SPA), Coventry retained an additional $7,200 of legal fees and paid the purchase price of $112,800 in exchange for the Coventry Note. Coventry may convert the Coventry Note into the Company’s common stock (subject to the beneficial ownership limitations of 4.99% in the Coventry Note) in the event of default at a variable conversion price equal to 90% of the lowest per-share during the 20 trading day period before the conversion. The note requires monthly payments of $23,571 commencing on November 8, 2022.
On November 14, 2022, we filed with the SEC a Notification of Late Filing pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 indicating that we were unable to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which was due on or before November 14, 2022. We indicated at the time that we expected to file this quarterly report no later than November 19, 2022, which is the fifth calendar day filing extension period afforded registrants under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of November 19, 2022, however, we remained unable to file this quarterly report. As such, from November 19, 2022 until December 22, 2022, the date of filing of this Report, we were in default under the Coventry Note with respect to its compliance requirements, as a result of our delay in filing this quarterly report with the SEC. On December 21, 2022, the Company received a written notice of default from Coventry Enterprises, informing us that the default provisions of the note were in effect, bringing the principal balance of the note from $150,000 to $180,000.
