The Offering
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 575,428,571 shares of our common stock by DBR Capital, LLC, the selling stockholder (“DBR Capital”).
On April 27, 2020, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement with DBR Capital. The Investor Rights Agreement required us to file a registration statement registering DBR Capital’s resale of the shares within 30 calendar days; however, DBR Capital consented to extend that deadline to July 15, 2020, to accommodate the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K. Under a Voting Rights Agreement entered into between DBR Capital and certain of our stockholders, the stockholders agreed to reduce the size of our board of directors to five directors and to elect two designees of DBR Capital to fill two of those five seats. James Bell and David B. Rothrock are currently members of our board of directors as the designees of DBR Capital. Accordingly, DBR Capital is deemed to be an affiliate of ours.
On November 9, 2020, we completed a third closing with DBR Capital under the Securities Purchase Agreement originally entered into between the parties on April 27, 2020. At the third closing, DBR Capital purchased a $1,300,000 convertible secured promissory note. The promissory note is due on April 27, 2030, bears interest at the rate of 25% per year, is convertible into our common stock, at a conversion price of $0.007 per share, if certain benchmarks relating to the trading price and volume of the common stock are met, and is secured by the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement entered into between the parties as of May 15, 2020.
As part of the third closing, certain agreements previously entered into were amended as follows:
| ● | The April 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement was amended and restated to reduce the amount of the third closing and to add fourth and fifth closings now contemplated to occur on or before May 31, 2021, and August 31, 2021, respectively. The fourth and fifth closings are at the sole discretion of DBR Capital and we cannot provide any assurance that they will occur when contemplated or ever. The Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the issuance of additional shares of our common stock upon any event of default under the Notes. |
| | |
| ● | The April 27, 2020, and May 27, 2020, Notes were amended and restated to adjust the conversion price from approximately $0.0126 to $0.007 per share, consistent with the November 9, 2020, Note. |
| | |
| ● | The Investor Rights Agreement was amended to specify that David Rothrock is the investor director whose affirmative vote is required for certain actions and to require the approval of the investor director for any action taken by our board of directors. |
| | |
| ● | The Voting Agreement was amended to include provisions to expand our board of directors to seven members, leaving two seats vacant, and to allow DBR Capital to fill those vacancies and remove directors in the event of default by Investview. |
Additionally, certain of our founders entered into a Pledge Agreement, pledging certain common stock of their own as security to DBR Capital in the event of a default under the convertible promissory notes.
The principal under the Notes is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.007 per share, representing a total of 471,428,571 shares. Additionally, we agreed to issue DBR Capital 104,000,000 shares of our common stock if we default under one or more of the Notes (the “Default Shares”). If the entire amount owed under the Notes was converted and sold and the Default Shares were issued and sold, those shares would represent approximately 16.4% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after that conversion as of the date of this prospectus.
Sales of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any conversions of the Notes. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any conversions by DBR Capital.

Any forward-looking statements, including those regarding our or our management’s current beliefs, expectations, anticipations, estimations, projections, proposals, plans or intentions, are not guarantees of future performance or results or events and involve risks and uncertainties, such as those discussed in this prospectus.

Any forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this prospectus, and we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information about these risks contained in this prospectus, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus generally, before deciding to buy our securities. Any of the risks we describe below could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects. The market prices for our securities could decline if one or more of these risks and uncertainties develop into actual events and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. You should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes.
Risks Related to our Business
We have a limited operating history and, therefore, there is an elevated risk of potential business failure unless we can overcome the various obstacles inherent to an early stage business.
We have only limited prior business operations. Because of our limited operating history, investors may not have adequate information on which they can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Investors should be aware of the difficulties, delays, and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its early stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated research and development expenses, employment costs, and administrative expenses. We cannot assure our investors that our proposed business plans as described herein will materialize or prove successful, or that we will be able to finalize development of our products or operate profitably.
We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception (August 1, 2005), and we may never achieve profitability.
From our inception on August 1, 2005, through September 30, 2020, we have incurred cumulative losses of $52,536,063, recorded net losses from operations of $571,017 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and $21,285,191 for the year ended March 31, 2020, and our cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2020, was $583,955. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will achieve profitability in the immediate future or at all.
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, and our related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2020, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations, and the limited amount of funds on our balance sheet. We have prepared our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. This could make it more difficult to raise capital in the future.
Our operations and financial condition have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and that may continue.
In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first reported in Wuhan, China, resulting in thousands of confirmed cases of the disease in China. By January, the Chinese government implemented a quarantine protocol for Wuhan and implemented other restrictions for other major Chinese cities, including mandatory business closures, social distancing measures, and various travel restrictions, all of which have subsequently been adopted in countries throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, as COVID-19 spread outside of China, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak as a global pandemic. This continued pandemic could affect our business, employees, operating results, ability to obtain additional funding, product development programs, research and development programs, suppliers and third-party manufacturers. To date, the interrupted supply chains, lock-downs, and inability to deploy equipment to operations have had a significant negative effect on our SAFETek mining operations and that may continue.
We anticipate that COVID-19 and a prolonged public health crisis may negatively impact our financial condition and operating results; however, given the evolving health, economic, social, and governmental environments, the breadth and duration of the impact remains uncertain. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the duration of any business disruption or potential impact to our business resulting from the COVID-19 coronavirus is difficult to predict, but it may increase our costs or expenses.
We may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights and we may infringe the proprietary rights of others, which could result in costly litigation.
Our future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our products. We cannot assure that we will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and technology without our authorization. We also rely on trade secrets, common law trademark rights, and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment, and license agreements with employees, consultants, third-party developers, licensees, and customers. Our protective measures for these intangible assets afford only limited protection and may be flawed or inadequate.
Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and some foreign laws do not provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or patents that we may obtain, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, there has been an increase in the filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights, is costly and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the subject matter in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non-infringing alternatives.
Our business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in the securities markets or the economy in general.
We depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions. Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be reluctant to make their own investment decisions and thus decrease the demand for our products. Significant upturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be less proactive in seeking ways to improve the returns on their trading or investment decisions and, thus, decrease the demand for our products.
We may encounter risks relating to security or other system disruptions and failures that could reduce the attractiveness of our sites and that could harm our business.
Although we have implemented various security mechanisms, our business is vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, or loss of data. For instance, because a portion of our revenue is based on individuals using credit cards to purchase subscriptions over the Internet and a portion from advertisers that seek to encourage people to use the Internet to purchase goods or services, our business could be adversely affected by these break-ins or disruptions. Additionally, our operations depend on our ability to protect systems against damage from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failure, and other events beyond our control. Moreover, our website may experience slower response times or other problems for a variety of reasons, including hardware and communication line capacity restraints, software failures, or significant increases in traffic when there have been important business or financial news stories. These strains on our systems could cause customer dissatisfaction and could discourage visitors from becoming paying subscribers. Our websites could experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to the failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of information from us. These types of occurrences could cause users to perceive our website and technology solutions as not functioning properly and cause them to use other methods or services of our competitors. Any disruption resulting from these actions may harm our business and may be very expensive to remedy, may not be fully covered by our insurance, could damage our reputation, and discourage new and existing users from using our products and services. Any disruptions could increase costs and make profitability even more difficult to achieve.
We will need to introduce new products and services and enhance existing products and services to remain competitive.
Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and enhance our products and services. In addition, the adoption of new Internet, networking or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require us to incur substantial expenditures to enhance or adapt our services or infrastructure. There are significant technical and financial costs and risks in the development of new or enhanced products and services, including the risk that we might be unable to effectively use new technologies, adapt our services to emerging industry standards, or develop, introduce and market enhanced or new products and services. An inability to develop new products and services, or enhance existing offerings, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
We rely on external service providers to perform certain key functions.
We rely on a number of external service providers for certain key technology, processing, service, and support functions. External content providers provide us with crypto mining services, financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, research reports, and other fundamental data that we offer to clients. These service providers face technological and operational risks of their own. Any significant failures by them, including improper use or disclosure of our confidential client, employee, or company information, could cause us to incur losses and could harm our reputation.
We cannot assure that any external service providers will be able to continue to provide these services in an efficient, cost-effective manner or that they will be able to adequately expand their services to meet our needs. An interruption in or the cessation of service by any external service provider as a result of systems failures, capacity constraints, financial constraints or problems, unanticipated trading market closures, or for any other reason, and our inability to make alternative arrangements in a smooth and timely manner, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We could face liability and other costs relating to storage and use of personal information about our users.
Users provide us with personal information, including tax identification numbers, which we do not share without the user’s consent. Despite this policy of obtaining consent, however, if third persons were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate our users’ personal information, we could be subject to liability, including claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims, and misuses of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. New privacy legislation may further increase this type of liability. Furthermore, we could incur additional expenses if additional regulations regarding the use of personal information were introduced or if federal or state agencies were to investigate our privacy practices. We do not store user credit card information and rely upon our merchant processing partners to collect and store this information with the necessary Payment Card Industry Security Standards compliance in place. However, a breach of the merchant’s security standards could create liability for us.
Our business could be negatively affected if we are required to defend allegations of unfair competition and unfair false or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.
Advertising and marketing of our products in the United States are also subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) under the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTC Act. Among other things, the FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair false or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The FTC Act also makes it illegal to disseminate or cause to be disseminated any false advertisement. The FTC routinely reviews websites to identify questionable advertising claims and practices. Competitors sometimes inform the FTC when they believe other competitors are violating the FTC Act and consumers also notify the FTC of what they believe may be wrongful advertising. The FTC may initiate a nonpublic investigation that focuses on our advertising claims, which usually involves nonpublic, pre-lawsuit, extensive formal discovery. Such an investigation may be lengthy and expensive to defend and result in a publicly disclosed consent decree or settlement agreement. If no settlement can be reached, the FTC may start an administrative proceeding or a federal court lawsuit against us or our principal officers. The FTC often seeks to recover from the defendants, whether in a consent decree or a proceeding, any or all of the following: (i) consumer redress in the form of monetary relief or disgorgement of profits; (ii) significant reporting requirements for several years; and (iii) injunctive relief. In addition, most, if not all, states have statutes prohibiting deceptive and unfair acts and practices. The requirements under these state statutes are similar to those of the FTC Act.
We accept and hold cryptocurrencies, which may subject us to exchange risk and additional tax and regulatory requirements
We have recently begun accepting cryptocurrencies bitcoin and etherium as a form of payment. Cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender or backed by any government and have experienced significant price volatility, technological glitches, and various law enforcement and regulatory interventions. If we fail to comply with regulations or prohibitions applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines and other consequences. We also hold cryptocurrencies directly, subjecting us to exchange rate risk as well as the risk that regulatory or other developments and the recent price volatility may adversely affect the value of the cryptocurrencies we hold. The uncertainties regarding legal and regulatory requirements relating to cryptocurrencies or transactions using cryptocurrencies, as well as potential accounting and tax issues or other requirements relating to cryptocurrencies, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business could be negatively affected if we are required to defend allegations that our direct selling activities are fraudulent or deceptive schemes, are against public interest, or are the sale of unregistered securities.
Direct selling activities are regulated by the FTC, as well as various federal, state, and local governmental agencies in the United States and foreign countries. These laws and regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” schemes, which compensate participants primarily for recruiting additional participants without significant emphasis on product sales. Regulators may take the position that some or all of our products are deemed to be securities, the sale of which has not been registered. The laws and regulations governing direct selling are modified from time to time, and like other direct selling companies, we may be subject from time to time to government investigations related to our direct selling activities. This may require us to make changes to our business model and our compensation plan.
Our independent distributors could fail to comply with applicable legal requirements or our distributor policies and procedures, which could result in claims against us that could harm our business.
Our independent distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to directly provide the same oversight, direction, and motivation as we could if they were our employees. As a result, we cannot assure that our independent distributors will comply with applicable laws or regulations or our distributor policies and procedures.
Extensive federal, state, local, and international laws regulate our business, products and direct selling activities. Because we have expanded into foreign countries, our policies and procedures for our independent distributors differ slightly in some countries due to the different legal requirements of each country in which we do business.
Our proprietary systems may be compromised by hackers.
Our current products and other products and services that we may develop in the future will be based on proprietary software and customer-specific data that we protect by routine measures such as password protection, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, and similar measures. Any unauthorized access to our software or data could materially disrupt our business and result in financial loss and damages to our business reputation.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
We have a history of operating losses and expect to report future losses that may cause our stock price to decline.
For the operating period since inception through September 30, 2020, we have reported an accumulated deficit of $52,536,063. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we reported a net loss of $1,187,760 and a net loss from operations of $571,017, and for the year ended March 31, 2020, we reported a net loss of $21,285,191 and a net loss from operations of $9,093,419. We cannot be certain whether we will ever become profitable, or if we do, that we will be able to continue to be profitable. Also, any economic weakness or global recession may limit our ability to market our products. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result in investors losing a portion or all of their investment.
We will need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail.
Because our revenues are not yet sufficient to cover expenses or fund our growth, we need to secure ongoing funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate additional financing, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our products, our business operations will most likely be discontinued, and we will cease to be a going concern. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.
Our common stock price has been and may continue to be extremely volatile.
Our common stock has closed as low as $0.005 per share and as high as $0.043 per share since the beginning of our fiscal year that ended March 31, 2020. We believe this volatility may be caused, in part, by variations in our quarterly operating results, delays in development of our technologies, changes in market valuations of similar companies, and the volume of our stock in the market.
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the OTC Markets and technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price regardless of our operating performance. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this report is not necessarily an indicator of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future.
In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on our stock price.
Shares of our common stock may never become eligible for trading on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.
We cannot assure that we will ever be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on another national securities exchange. Listing on one of the Nasdaq markets or one of the national securities exchanges is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares, which could result in a loss of some or all of their investments.
If we fail to file periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock will not be able to be traded on the OTCQB.
Although our common stock trades on the OTCQB, a regular trading market for our common stock may not be sustained in the future. OTC Markets limits quotation on the OTCQB to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If we fail to remain current in the filing of our reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock will not be able to be traded on the OTCQB. The OTCQB is an inter-dealer market that provides significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
Because we have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon numerous factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and investment opportunities. Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur.
Certain provisions of Nevada law and of our corporate charter may inhibit a potential acquisition of our company, and this could depress our stock price.
Nevada corporate law includes provisions that could delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage information contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example:
| ● | without prior stockholder approval, our board of directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock and to determine the rights, privileges, and preferences of that preferred stock; |
| | |
| ● | there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and |
| | |
| ● | stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders. |
Our indemnification of our directors and officers may limit the rights of our stockholders.
While our board of directors and officers are generally accountable to our stockholders and us, the liability of our directors and officers to all parties is limited in certain respects under applicable state law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as in effect. Further, we have agreed or may agree to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities not attributable to certain limited circumstances. This limitation of liability and indemnity may limit rights that our stockholders would otherwise have to seek redress against our directors and officers.
Additional issuances of stock options and warrants, convertible notes, and stock grants will cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders.
Given our limited cash, liquidity, and revenues, it is likely that in the future, as in the past, we will issue additional warrants, stock grants, and convertible debt to finance our future business operations and acquisitions and strategic relationships. The issuance of additional shares of common stock, the exercise of warrants, and the conversion of debt to stock could cause additional dilution to our stockholders and could have further adverse effects on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. The 2018 increase in our authorized shares from two billion to ten billion increased the magnitude of this risk substantially.
The amount of authorized common stock may result in management implementing anti-takeover procedures by issuing new securities.
The proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our board of directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of our company with another entity. Although, we have no current plans to issue additional stock for this purpose, management could use the additional shares that are now available or that may be available after a possible further recapitalization to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction. Generally, no stockholder approval would be necessary for the issuance of all or any portion of the additional shares of common stock unless required by law or any rules or regulations to which we are subject.
Our stockholders may not recoup all or any portion of their investment upon our dissolution.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, our net remaining proceeds and/or assets, after paying all of our debts and liabilities, will be distributed to the holders of common stock on a pro-rata basis. We cannot assure that we will have available assets to pay to the holders of common stock any amounts upon such a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our company. In this event, our stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.
The issuance of our common stock to DBR Capital upon conversion of the Notes or upon our default may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the selling stockholder, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
Under the Notes, DBR Capital may convert up to $3.3 million into 471,428,571 shares that are registered for sale under this prospectus. If we default under one or more of the Notes, we are contractually obligated to issue an additional 104,000,000 Default Shares. If DBR Capital acquires some or all of those shares, it may sell all, some, or none of those shares. Therefore, conversions and by DBR Capital and issuance of the Default Shares could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by DBR Capital, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish.
In addition, the fixed conversion price of $0.007 for these shares may be lower than the trading price of our shares at the time of any conversion and sale by DBR Capital, which may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.

Plan of Operations
We are now under the leadership of Joseph Cammarata, Chief Executive Officer, who was installed on December 3, 2019, to properly position the company as a financial technology (“FINTECH”) operation. At this time, we were in final phases of the establishment of Apex Tek, LLC, SAFETek, LLC and the full registration of SAFE Management LLC, our Registered Investment Advisor when we began this re-alignment. Shortly after this undertaking, we began to experience effects of COVID 19 on various aspects of our business operations. As a result, we needed to preserve capital and make necessary cutbacks to ensure we could survive the conditions created by the pandemic along with preparing for the unforeseen post pandemic global economic climate.
Our subsidiaries and their operations, if any, include the following:
| - | Kuvera LLC and Kuvera France distribute our financial education platform and services that are dedicated to the individual consumer. Kuvera and Kuvera France are managed by Chad Garner, President of Kuvera, and utilize an affiliate or network marketing model for distribution. In late 2019, early 2020, as COVID 19 was beginning to spread worldwide, the Kuvera companies completed a product and bonus plan rebuild and was able to launch these services and create stabilized monthly revenue. |
| | |
| - | Apex Tek, LLC and SAFETek, LLC, our subsidiaries that sold the APEX package, saw rapid growth during fiscal 2020. Under the program we sold high powered data processing equipment to our customers and they leased the equipment back to us. We began to experience difficulties in sourcing equipment for the program which later revealed itself to be early supply chain issues related to COVID 19. The supply chain, delivery, customs, and lack of human resources caused by global and U.S. lockdowns further caused issues in deploying the equipment. On June 30, 2020, we temporarily discontinued the APEX program to assess the delays, audit the transaction and determine our ability to meet the lease commitments. The assessment took place in July and August and indicated we would not be able to meet the APEX lease obligations and would be in default to the lease holders. In September, our board of directors voted to approve a buyback program wherein all APEX purchasers were offered a 48-month promissory note to ensure a 125% return of their purchase price in exchange for cancellation of the lease and our purchase of all rights and obligations under the lease. The buyback program also ensured all APEX purchasers were able to purchase a protection plan from a third-party provider, wherein each purchaser could protect their initial purchase price and obtain 50% of their APEX purchase price at five years or 100% of the APEX purchase price at ten years. The lease buyback program closed on November 30, 2020, with approximately 99% of the APEX purchasers accepting the offer. Apex Tek, LLC will discontinue operations while SAFETek LLC will continue to operate and expand its high-speed processing operations. |
| | |
| - | SAFE Management LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodity Trading Advisor, did not receive the necessary marketing and management required for growth and is currently being reviewed for restructuring and alignment to our future goals. |
| | |
| - | United Games, United League, and Investment Tools & Training, LLC have had no operations and will be restructured or eliminated completely as we continue to streamline operations. |
We are concentrating our efforts on the distribution capabilities of Kuvera and the growth of SAFETek processing operations to ensure all efforts are aligned to reach our primary goal of profitability. Further, we have entered into strategic partnerships and have closed a multi-part financing agreement with DBR Capital, LLC, which included adding James Bell and David Rothrock to our board of directors. The consultation of DBR Capital, LLC along with the FINTECH leadership of Joseph Cammarata has established us as a diversified financial technology and global distributor organization that operates through its subsidiaries to provide financial education tools, content, research and management of digital asset technology that mines cryptocurrencies, with a focus on Bitcoin mining and the generation of digital assets.
Results of Operations
Year Ended March 31, 2020, Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2019
Revenues
Revenue, net, decreased $5,475,491, or 18%, from $29,659,081 for the year ended March 31, 2019, to $24,183,590 for the year ended March 31, 2020. The majority of the decrease can be explained by our decrease in subscription sales of $4,598,029, which was due to attrition and an overhaul in the compensation plan of Kuvera during the third quarter, which resulted in a loss of repeat subscription customers. The remainder of the decrease was due to our sales of equipment and cryptocurrency mining service revenue fees earned in the prior year, versus no such sales in the current year, explaining $2,635,879 of the decrease. These decreases were offset by an increase in mining revenue and fees earned in the current year, versus no such sales in the prior year, explaining $1,758,417 of the offsetting increase. Our gross billings decreased by 25%, or $8,762,934, to $26,229,949 in the year ended March 31, 2020, versus $34,992,883 in the year ended March 31, 2019; however, this was offset by refunds, incentives, credits, chargebacks, and amounts paid to suppliers.
Operating Costs
Operating costs decreased $322,928, or 1%, from $33,599,937 for the year ended March 31, 2019, to $33,277,009 for the year ended March 31, 2020, mainly because of a decrease in our commissions of $7,961,708, or 37%, from $21,526,326 for the year ended March 31, 2019, to $13,564,618 for the year ended March 31, 2020 offset by the increase in our general and administrative expenses of $3,437,913, or 83%, from $4,121,279 for the year ended March 31, 2019, to $7,559,192 for the year ended March 31, 2020 and in our salary and related expenses of $2,321,066, or 54%, from $4,272,355 for the year ended March 31, 2019, to $6,593,421 for the year ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in commissions was a result of our bonus plans paying out beyond our maximum threshold in the prior period due to certain bonus programs in place, which has since been adjusted to reduce such payouts. For the year ended March 31, 2020 commissions as a percent of total net revenue was 56%, versus 73% in the prior year. The increase in general and administrative and salary and related expenses can be explained by the Company recording $3,098,643 worth of stock for services and compensation and by incurring administrative costs for the APEX program that was launched during the year ended March 31, 2020.
Other Income (Expense)
We recorded other expense of $12,184,389 for the year ended March 31, 2020, which was a difference of $11,217,918, or 1,161%, from the prior period other expense of $966,471. The change is due to the gain on bargain purchase recorded as a result of the United Games, LLC and United League, LLC acquisition that took place during the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared to no such gain in the current period. Additionally, in the current period there was interest expense recorded of $10,677,768 offset by a gain on debt extinguishment of $2,018,791 and a gain on fair value of derivative liability of $571,231, whereas in the prior period interest expense was only $1,862,461, there was a gain on debt extinguishment of $19,387, and a loss on fair value of derivative liability of $214,376.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended March 31, 2020, we incurred a loss of $21,285,191. However, we were able to generate $4,624,767 in cash through our operating activities. We used this cash, along with $624,374 of cash generated from financing activities to fund the purchase of $5,245,606 worth of fixed assets. As a result, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,533 to $137,177 as compared to $133,644 at the beginning of the fiscal year.
As of March 31, 2020, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets equal to a working capital deficit of $14,123,625. A year ago, at March 31, 2019, the working capital deficit was $2,222,990.
The above matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we raised $4,484,979 in cash proceeds from related parties, $2,527,452 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements, and $825,000 from the sale of common stock.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the coronavirus will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the company. To date, the Company is experiencing challenges in multiple areas of the organization and the full economic impact is yet to be established.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we made significant strides and wide sweeping changes. While we believe they will be beneficial to our bottom line, there is no assurance of this. Some of the concerns we face going forward will continue, including but not limited to:
| ● | Supply chain issues for Apex Tek, LLC and the sourcing of miners due to the worldwide COVID pandemic and manufacturing slow downs |
| | |
| ● | SAFETek, LLC operations not scaling according to projections with decreased output due to mining difficulty and operational cost |
| | |
| ● | Regulatory reform that could adversely impact the use and demand of digital currencies |
| | |
| ● | The recent Bitcoin (BTC) halving event that further reduced mining output in addition to the supply chain issues |
Apex Tek, LLC and SAFETek, LLC carry additional risk and generated recent losses, however, they also provide Investview a stake in 4IR, HPC, app development, fintech, blockchain and personal money management sectors. Each of these are areas that are targeted for significant growth spurred by innovations through technology which solidify our position in the fintech space.
While our liabilities are larger than our assets it is important to note that we seek to further reduce our operating expense. The assets we have acquired and will continue to seek out are those of technology, mobile apps, and human resources. These assets are not easily defined on our balance sheet but represent our ability to carry out our objectives which we believe will ultimately lead to positive cash flow, reduced debt and then profitability.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Revenues
We recorded net revenue of $7,753,337 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was an increase of $511,213 or 7%, from the prior period revenue of $7,242,124. The increase can be explained by our $2,493,739 increase in mining revenues earned in the current year as a result of our cryptocurrency mining operations versus no such revenue in the prior year. This was offset by a decrease in subscription sales of $1,980,867, which was mostly due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and its overall impact to the economy. Our gross billings increased by 3%, or $266,075, to $8,096,604 in the three months ended September 30, 2020, versus $7,830,529 in the three months ended September 30, 2019; however, this was offset by refunds, incentives, credits, chargebacks, and amounts paid to suppliers.
Operating Costs and Expenses
We recorded operating costs and expenses of $7,182,320 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was a decrease of $2,132,923, or 23%, from the prior period’s operating costs and expenses of $9,315,243. The decrease can be explained by the decrease in our salary and related expenses of $1,751,038, or 68%, from $2,567,592 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, to $816,554 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, the decrease in commissions of $930,464, or 21%, from $4,347,177 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, to $3,416,713 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and the decrease in our general and administrative expenses of $998,287, or 73%, from $1,363,113 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, to $364,826. These decreases were offset by the increase in cost of sales and service of $1,435,764 or 497% from $289,045 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,724,809 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in cost of sales and service was a result of mining costs incurred in the current period as it related to the increase in mining revenue. The decrease in commissions was a result of our bonus plans paying out beyond our maximum threshold in the prior period due to certain bonus programs in place, which has since been adjusted to reduce such payouts. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 commissions as a percent of total net revenue was 44%, versus 60% in the prior period. Lastly, decreases in salary and general and administrative expenses was due to the Company terminating the sales program related to the APEX package and being able to cut back on operating costs that existed in the prior period, along with our cancellation of 200,000,000 shares that were returned in conjunction with the termination of a Joint Venture Agreement which resulted in the reversal of previously recorded expense of $951,956.
Other Income and Expenses
We recorded other expense of $1,756,480 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was a difference of $2,077,871, or 647%, from the prior period other income of $321,391. The change is due to a loss on fair value of derivative liability of $20,847 recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a gain of $2,358,447 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2019
Revenues
We recorded net revenue of $13,343,153 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, which was a decrease of $1,410,684 or 10%, from the prior period revenue of $14,753,837. The decrease can be explained by our $5,249,323 decrease in subscription sales offset by our $3,836,285 increase in mining revenues earned in the current year as a result of our cryptocurrency mining operations versus no such revenue in the prior year. The decrease in subscription sales was due to attrition and an overhaul in the compensation plan of Kuvera during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, resulting in a loss of repeat subscription customers, coupled with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and its overall impact to the economy. Our gross billings decreased by 13%, or $2,120,107, to $14,003,123 in the six months ended September 30, 2020, versus $16,123,230 in the six months ended September 30, 2019; however, this was offset by refunds, incentives, credits, chargebacks, and amounts paid to suppliers.
Operating Costs and Expenses
We recorded operating costs and expenses of $15,778,934 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, which was a decrease of $1,873,163, or 11%, from the prior period’s operating costs and expenses of $17,652,097. The decrease can be explained by the decrease in our salary and related expenses of $1,674,057, or 45%, from $3,711,446 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, to $2,037,389 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, the decrease in commissions of $2,425,603, or 26%, from $9,216,147 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, to $6,790,544 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. These decreases were offset by the increase in cost of sales and service of $2,104,635 or 395% from $532,498 for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to $2,637,133 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in cost of sales and service was a result of mining costs incurred in the current period as it related to the increase in mining revenue. The decrease in commissions was a result of our bonus plans paying out beyond our maximum threshold in the prior period due to certain bonus programs in place, which has since been adjusted to reduce such payouts. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 commissions as a percent of total net revenue was 51%, versus 62% in the prior period. Lastly, decreases in salary expenses was due to the Company terminating the sales program related to the APEX package and being able to cut back on operating costs that existed in the prior period.
Other Income and Expenses
We recorded other expense of $3,662,484 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, which was a difference of $1,808,605, or 98%, from the prior period other expense of $1,853,879. The change is due to an increase in interest expense recorded in the six months ended September 30, 2020 as it relates to the interest required to be recognized on the financial liability recorded for our APEX sale and leaseback transactions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $6,101,547. However, we were able to generate $661,629 in cash through our operating activities. We used this cash, along with $1,942,338 of cash generated from financing activities to fund operations and fund the purchase of $1,717,289 worth of fixed assets. As a result, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased by $886,678 to $1,023,855 as compared to $137,177 at the beginning of the fiscal year.
As of September 30, 2020, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets equal to a working capital deficit of $18,383,173. As of March 31, 2020, the working capital deficit was $14,123,625.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult, and subjective estimates and judgments.
Basis of Accounting
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SAFETek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. Through March 31, 2019 we had determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we previously conducted business with, was a variable interest entity and we were the primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to those of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, through March 31, 2019 we had consolidated the accounts of this variable interest entity into the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, because the Company did not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, the Company had allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a component of noncontrolling interest. As of April 1, 2019 Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. had no operations and ceased to exist, therefore, as of that date, no consolidation of the entity is necessary and we recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $53,739 to eliminate the intercompany account with Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Sale and Leaseback
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, APEX Tex, LLC, we sold high powered data processing equipment (“APEX”) to our customers and they leased the equipment back to SAFETek, LLC, another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We account for these transactions under ASC 842-40 where the leaseback has been deemed a sales-type lease due to the lease term generally covering the entire economic life of the equipment and our likelihood to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term. In accordance with ASC 842-40 we have recorded the data processing equipment as a fixed asset on our balance sheet and we have accounted for the amounts received for the equipment as a financial liability, in other liabilities on our balance sheet. Further, we will recognize interest on the financial liability over the term of the lease to ensure the financial liability equates to the total amounts to be paid over the life of the lease. During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we had the following activity related to our sale and leaseback transactions:
| | Total Financial Liability | | | Contra-Liability | | | Net Financial Liability | | | Current [1] | | | Long Term | |
Balance as of March 31, 2020 | | $ | 53,828,000 | | | $ | (38,535,336 | ) | | $ | 15,292,664 | | | $ | 11,407,200 | | | $ | 3,885,464 | |
Proceeds from sales of APEX | | | 5,001,622 | | | | - | | | | 5,001,622 | | | | | | | | | |
Interest recorded on financial liability | | | 8,348,378 | | | | (8,348,378 | ) | | | - | | | | | | | | | |
Payments made for leased equipment | | | (2,125,300 | ) | | | - | | | | (2,125,300 | ) | | | | | | | | |
Interest expense | | | - | | | | 3,995,914 | | | | 3,995,914 | | | | | | | | | |
Balance as of September 30, 2020 | | $ | 65,052,700 | | | $ | (42,887,800 | ) | | $ | 22,164,900 | | | $ | 14,077,200 | | | $ | 8,087,700 | |
[1] Represents lease payments to be made in the next 12 months
The $42,887,800 is expected to be recognized into interest as follows:
Remainder of 2021 | | $ | 4,782,861 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 | | | 9,565,721 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 | | | 9,565,721 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 | | | 9,565,721 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and beyond | | | 9,407,776 | |
| | $ | 42,887,800 | |
During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we received additional proceeds for APEX sales which were recorded in the customer advance amount shown on our balance sheet, resulting in a net increase in the account of $81,845 since March 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020 we have ceased selling the APEX package. We may re-introduce APEX at a later date after further evaluation of the model.
Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period, therefore we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.
Equipment Sales
We generate revenue from the sale of high-speed computer processing equipment that is used for any of the following intense processing activities: protein folding, CGI rendering, Game Streaming, Machine & Deep Learning, Mining, Independent Financial Verification, and general high-speed computing. We recognize equipment sales revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver an equipment package to our customers which includes hardware, software, and firmware and is drop-shipped to a hosting data center. We receive payment at the time of purchase and recognize revenue when the equipment package is delivered and ready for maintenance and hosting, which our customers arrange for, and obtain, from a separate third party that provides such services.
Cryptocurrency Mining Service Revenue
In the past we generated revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency mining services to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. We recognized cryptocurrency mining service revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation was to arrange for the third-party to provide mining services to our customers and payment is received at the time of purchase, therefore revenue was recognized upon receipt of payment. We recognized revenue in the amount of the fee to which we are entitled to as an agent, or the amount of consideration that we retained after paying the third-party the consideration received in exchange for the services the third-party was to provide.
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we lease equipment under a sales-type lease and use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe are applicable or would have a material impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.
Trends, Risks, and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results
We have sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise.
Potential Fluctuations in Annual Operating Results
Our annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: the demand for our products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the commercial and consumer financing; price competition or pricing changes in the market; technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions; and economic conditions specific to the consumer financing sector.
Our annual results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions, or other matters. Particularly at our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results may fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
Management of Growth
We may experience growth, which will place a strain on our managerial, operational, and financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth if it occurs, we must devote management attention and resources to improve our financial strength and our operational systems. Further, we will need to expand, train, and manage our sales and distribution base. There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively manage our existing operations or the growth of our operations, or that our facilities, systems, procedures, or controls will be adequate to support any future growth. Our ability to manage our operations and any future growth will have a material effect on our stockholders.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB tier of OTC Markets, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTCQB tier of OTC Markets, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB tier. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB tier. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
BUSINESS
Corporate History
Investview, Inc. was incorporated on January 30, 1946, under the laws of the state of Utah as the Uintah Mountain Copper Mining Company. In January 2005, we changed domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Voxpath Holding, Inc.

Government Regulation
We have historically positioned the company as a knowledge provider and educator that seeks to augment a user’s informed decision-making process, rather than to act as a conductor of investment decisions or a representative of investment services. As such, most of our activities do not fall within the scope of securities industry regulation. Most of our products and services also do not require that any representative distributing our services conduct themselves as an investment advisor or broker. However, our subsidiary S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, recently received its registration and disclosure approval from the National Futures Association. S.A.F.E. Management, LLC is now a New Jersey State Registered Investment Adviser (“RIA”), Commodities Trading Advisor (“CTA”), and Commodity Pool Operator registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and is approved by the CFTC for over the counter FOREX advisory services. As a New Jersey-registered RIA, we are required to comply with the laws and regulations of those states in which we have the requisite number of customers governing the activities of investment advisers and the fees they can charge, as well as certain provisions of the Investment Adviser Act of 1940. As a CFTC registered CTA, Commodity Pool Operator, and FOREX adviser, we are required to comply with federal law and CFTC rules regulating those activities.
We have established these registrations and the advisory structure to offer automated trade execution, which is managed by S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, in its capacity as an RIA, for equities and equity options and in its capacity as a CTA for commodities, futures, and OTC Forex. In addition, SAFE provides traditional advisory services for clients who do not wish to trade for themselves. Automation of trades is only available through S.A.F.E. Management. No additional approvals are required for any of our current business activities. The cost of maintaining this additional regulated entity could have a material adverse effect on our business and could subject us to regulatory enforcement actions.
We are subject to government regulation in connection with securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies as well as laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally. We are also increasingly subject to governmental regulation and legislation specifically targeting Internet companies, such as privacy regulations adopted at the local, state, national and international levels and taxes levied at the state level. Due to the increasing use of the internet, enforcement of existing laws, such as consumer protection regulations, in connection with web-based activities has become more aggressive, and it is expected that new laws and regulations will continue to be enacted at the local, state, national, and international levels. Such new legislation, alone or combined with increasingly aggressive enforcement of existing laws, could have a material adverse effect on our future operating performance and business.
Employees
As of December 15, 2020, we had 20 employees.
Internet Address
Additional information concerning our business can be found on our website at www.investview.com for the most up-to-date corporate financial information, presentation announcements, transcripts, and archives. Information regarding our products and services offered by our wholly owned subsidiary, Kuvera LLC, may be found at www.kuveraglobal.com. SAFE Management LLC services can be viewed at www.safeadvglobal.com. Apex Tek LLC product information can be found at: www.apextekglobal.com and SAFETek, LLC information is available at www.safeteksolutions.com. Web site links provided in may change in the future. We make available free of charge on our website our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with or furnish it to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Competition
We face competition for each of our product categories, but do not have a similar competitor with the full suite of services offered by us. Each of the financial education products, alerts, tools, and newsletters face competition from similar product companies, such as TheStreet.com, Motley’s Fool, Jim Cramer, and similar subscription-based financial research services. The personal money management education and tools face competition from free mobile apps designed for the same purpose, although our personal money management does not advertise or entice the user to refinance and secure new loans and is a pure management tool that serves the individual and not the advertiser. Our tax management tools and education have limited competition, and we have deployed Deductr as our tool of choice. Our combined suite of products for one monthly subscription price, cancellable at any time by the user and distributed exclusively by the active members through the optional bonus plan for those who choose to sell the service to others, is what sets us apart.
We believe our competitive advantages include:
| ● | one of the most generous bonus programs in the network marketing segment; |
| | |
| ● | a management team with extensive experience in financial education and market strategy research/technology |
| | |
| ● | a young and motivated distributor base; |
| | |
| ● | a large demographic that services all genders, race, religion, and nationalities; and |
| | |
| ● | a delivery platform that enables us to launch new products quickly and efficiently worldwide. |
Our competitive weaknesses include translation challenges as we continue international expansion and components of our distributor backend that are programmed by third-party providers.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, we sold $41,500 worth of high-speed computer processing equipment to our then chief executive officer. This revenue was included in the equipment sales reported on our statement of operations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we completed a third closing with DBR Capital under the Securities Purchase Agreement originally entered into between the parties on April 27, 2020. At the third closing, DBR Capital purchased a $1,300,000 convertible secured promissory note. The promissory note is due on April 27, 2030, bears interest at the rate of 25% per year, is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.007 per share if certain benchmarks relating to the trading price and volume of the common stock are met, and is secured by the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement entered into between the parties as of May 15, 2020.
As part of the third closing, certain agreements previously entered into were amended as follows:
| ● | The April 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement was amended and restated to reduce the amount of the third closing and to add fourth and fifth closings now contemplated to occur on or before May 31, 2021, and August 31, 2021, respectively. The fourth and fifth closings are at the sole discretion of DBR Capital and we cannot provide any assurance that they will occur when contemplated or ever. The Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the issuance of additional shares of our common stock upon any event of default under the Notes. |
| ● | The April 27, 2020, and May 27, 2020, Notes were amended and restated to adjust the conversion price from approximately $0.0126 to $0.007 per share, consistent with the November 9, 2020, Note. |
| | |
| ● | The Investor Rights Agreement was amended to specify that David Rothrock is the investor director whose affirmative vote is required for certain actions and to require the approval of the investor director for any action taken by our board of directors. |
| | |
| ● | The Voting Agreement was amended to include provisions to expand our board of directors to seven members, leaving two seats vacant, and to allow DBR Capital to fill those vacancies and remove directors in the event of default. |
| | |
| ● | We agreed to issue DBR Capital 104,000,000 Default Shares if we default under one or more of the Notes. |
Additionally, certain of our founders entered into a Pledge Agreement, pledging certain common stock of their own as security to DBR Capital in the event of a default under the convertible promissory notes.

THE CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTES
General
On April 27, 2020, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement with DBR Capital. The Investor Rights Agreement required us to file a registration statement registering DBR Capital’s resale of the shares within 30 calendar days; however, DBR Capital consented to extend that deadline to July 15, 2020, to accommodate the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K. Under a Voting Rights Agreement entered into between DBR Capital and certain of our stockholders, the stockholders agreed to reduce the size of our board of directors to five directors and to elect two designees of DBR Capital to fill two of those five seats. James Bell and David B. Rothrock are currently members of our board of directors as the designees of DBR Capital.
On November 9, 2020, we completed a third closing with DBR Capital under the Securities Purchase Agreement originally entered into between the parties on April 27, 2020. At the third closing, DBR Capital purchased a $1,300,000 convertible secured promissory note. The promissory note is due on April 27, 2030, bears interest at the rate of 25% per year, is convertible into our common stock, at a conversion price of $0.007 per share, if certain benchmarks relating to the trading price and volume of the common stock are met, and is secured by the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement entered into between the parties as of May 15, 2020.
As part of the third closing, certain agreements previously entered into were amended as follows:
| ● | The April 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement was amended and restated to reduce the amount of the third closing and to add fourth and fifth closings now contemplated to occur on or before May 31, 2021, and August 31, 2021, respectively. The fourth and fifth closings are at the sole discretion of DBR Capital and we cannot provide any assurance that they will occur when contemplated or ever. The Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the issuance of additional shares of our common stock upon any event of default under the Notes. |
| | |
| ● | The April 27, 2020, and May 27, 2020, Notes were amended and restated to adjust the conversion price from approximately $0.0126 to $0.007 per share, consistent with the November 9, 2020, Note. |
| ● | The Investor Rights Agreement was amended to specify that David Rothrock is the investor director whose affirmative vote is required for certain actions and to require the approval of the investor director for any action taken by our board of directors. |
| | |
| ● | The Voting Agreement was amended to include provisions to expand our board of directors to seven members, leaving two seats vacant, and to allow DBR Capital to fill those vacancies and remove directors in the event of default. |
Additionally, certain of our founders entered into a Pledge Agreement, pledging certain common stock of their own as security to DBR Capital in the event of a default under the convertible promissory notes.
The principal under the Notes is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.007 per share, representing a total of 471,428,571 shares. Additionally, we agreed to issue DBR Capital 104,000,000 Default Shares if we default under one or more of the Notes. If all the entire amount owed under the Notes was converted and sold and the Default Shares were issued and sold, those shares would represent approximately 16.4% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after that conversion as of the date of this prospectus.
Sales of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any conversions of the Notes. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any conversions by DBR Capital.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus relates to the possible resale of up to 575,428,571 shares of our common stock by DBR Capital, the selling stockholder. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the agreements executed in connection with the selling stockholder’s agreement to purchase the shares.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, which we entered into on April 27, 2020, concurrently with our execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to provide certain registration rights respecting sales by DBR Capital of the shares of our common stock issued to it upon conversion of the Notes. See the description under the heading “The Convertible Secured Promissory Notes” for more information.
The selling stockholder may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we issue to it upon conversion of the Notes or issuance of the Default Shares. The selling stockholder may sell some, all, or none of its shares. We do not know whether or when the selling stockholder will choose to convert some or all of the amounts due under the Notes into shares of our common stock or how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the conversion of the Notes.
The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares that it may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder and reflects its holdings as of December 15, 2020. Except as described herein, neither the selling stockholder nor any of its affiliates has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with our company or any of our predecessors or affiliates. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” includes the selling stockholder and any of its respective donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale-related transfer. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, assignees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common stock on the OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| | |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| | |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| | |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| | |
| ● | an agreement with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| | |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| | |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| | |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
DBR Capital may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction, not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
DBR Capital and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be, “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions, and markups that, in the aggregate, would exceed 8%.
Because DBR Capital may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholder.
We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of: (i) 120 days after April 27, 2030; or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Expenses, Indemnification
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock sold by the selling stockholder and will bear all expenses related to the registration of this offering, but will not pay for any commissions, fees, or discounts, if any, relating to the sale of the common stock sold by the selling stockholder. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Supplements
In the event of a material change in the plan of distribution disclosed in this prospectus, the selling stockholder will not be able to effect transactions in the shares pursuant to this prospectus until such time as a post-effective amendment to the registration statement is filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Voting Rights
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters properly submitted to a vote of stockholders on which holders of common stock are entitled to vote.

Preferred Stock
Our Board has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our Board.
The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.
Series B Preferred
General
As of the date of this prospectus, we had 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized and 51,720 shares of Series B Preferred issued and outstanding.
Our Board may, without the approval of holders of the Series B Preferred or our Common Stock, designate additional series of authorized preferred stock ranking junior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred and authorize the issuance of such shares. Designation of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred will require approval of the holders of Series B Preferred, as described below in “Voting Rights.”
No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption
The Series B Preferred has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Shares of the Series B Preferred will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem or otherwise repurchase them. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series B Preferred.
Ranking
The Series B Preferred ranks, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up:
| (1) | senior to all classes or series of our common stock (except where common stockholders have contractual rights and preferences described in paragraph (2) below) and to all other equity securities issued by us other than equity securities referred to in paragraph (3) below; |
| (2) | junior to future equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank senior to the Series B Preferred with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up (See “Voting Rights” below); |
| (3) | effectively junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness (including indebtedness convertible to our common stock or preferred stock). |
Dividends
Holders of shares of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 13% of the Stated Value of $25 per share per annum (equivalent to $3.25 per annum per share). Plan of Distribution – Escrow Agreement.”
No dividends on shares of Series B Preferred shall be authorized by our Board or paid or set apart for payment by us at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of ours, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series B Preferred will accrue whether or not we have earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by our Board. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred that may be in arrears, and holders of the Series B Preferred will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described above. Any dividend payment made on the Series B Preferred shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to those shares.
Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series B Preferred have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than in shares of common stock or in shares of any series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Nor shall any other distribution be declared or made on shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Also, any shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall not be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by us (except by conversion into or exchange for our other capital stock that we may issue ranking junior to the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up).
When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series B Preferred and the shares of any other series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series B Preferred, all dividends declared on the Series B Preferred and any other series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series B Preferred shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series B Preferred and such other series of preferred stock that we may issue shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series B Preferred and such other series of preferred stock that we may issue (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such preferred stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred that may be in arrears.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred will be entitled to be paid out of the assets we have legally available for distribution to our stockholders, with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of our common stock or any other class or series of our capital stock we may issue that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred as to liquidation rights.
In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our available assets are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of our capital stock that we may issue ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series B Preferred and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share rateably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Holders of Series B Preferred will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of no fewer than 30 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets. The consolidation or merger of us with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other entity with or into us, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our property or business, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us (although such events may give rise to the special optional redemption to the extent described below).
Redemption
The Series B Preferred is not redeemable by us prior to the three-year anniversary of the date of first issuance of each respective share, except upon a change of control.
On and after the three year anniversary of the date of each issuance, we may, at our option and upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, whether before or after the three year anniversary of the date of the first issuance, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, within 120 days after notice of such Change of Control, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions shall have acquired our stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition).
Voting Rights
Holders of the Series B Preferred do not have any voting rights, except as set forth below or as otherwise required by the Nevada Revised Statutes.
On each matter on which holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to vote, each share of Series B Preferred will be entitled to one vote.
So long as any shares of Series B Preferred remain outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series B Preferred outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), amend, alter, repeal or replace our amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation, including by way of a merger, consolidation or otherwise in which we may or may not be the surviving entity, so as to materially and adversely affect and deprive holders of Series B Preferred of any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred (each, an “Event”).
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
Except as expressly stated in the Amended Certificate of Designation or as may be required by applicable law, the Series B Preferred do not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.
No Conversion Rights
The Series B Preferred is not convertible into our common stock of the Company. However, if the Company effects any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of a new series of preferred stock paying a cash dividend in excess of 13% (a “Subsequent Series Preferred Stock”), the Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all or some of the Series B Preferred Stock then held for such Subsequent Series Preferred Stock.
No Pre-emptive Rights
The holders of the Series B Preferred will not, as holders of Series B Preferred, have any pre-emptive rights to purchase or subscribe for our common stock or any other security.
Change of Control
Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change of control or takeover attempt, which is opposed by management and our Board.
Anti-Dilution Rights
The Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred provides that if we effect a stock dividend, a stock split or a reverse split of the Series B Preferred, the dividend and redemption rates will be proportionately adjusted.

Stockholders of Investview, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Investview, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2020, and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020, and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and its current cash flow is not enough to meet current needs. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to this matter are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Nature of Business
We own a number of companies that each operate independently, but are accretive to one another. We are establishing a portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries delivering leading-edge technologies, services, and research, dedicated primarily to the individual consumer. Following is a description of each of our companies.
Kuvera, LLC provides research, education, and investment tools designed to assist the self-directed investor in successfully navigating the financial markets.

In addition to trading tools and research, we also offer full education and software applications to assist the individual in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting, and proper tax management. Each product subscription includes a core set of trading tools/research along with the personal finance management suite to provide an individual with complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage his or her financial situation. Different packages are available through a monthly subscription that can be cancelled at any time at the discretion of the customer. A unique component of the product marketing plan is the distribution method whereby all subscriptions are sold via current participating customers who choose to distribute and sell the services by participating in the bonus plan. The bonus plan participation is purely optional but enables individuals to create an additional income stream to further support their personal financial goals and objectives.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SAFETek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. Through March 31, 2019 we had determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we previously conducted business with, was a variable interest entity and we were the primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to those of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, through March 31, 2019 we had consolidated the accounts of this variable interest entity into the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, because the Company did not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, the Company had allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a component of noncontrolling interest. As of April 1, 2019 Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. had no operations and ceased to exist, therefore, as of that date, no consolidation of the entity is necessary and we recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $53,739 to eliminate the intercompany account with Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Financial Statement Reclassification
Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Foreign Exchange
We have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. into our consolidated financial statements and have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. through March 31, 2019. The operations of Kuvera France S.A.S. are conducted in France and its functional currency is the Euro. The operations of Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. were conducted in Colombia and its functional currency is the Colombian Peso.
The financial statements of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. are prepared using their respective functional currency and have been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Stockholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity (deficit).
The following rates were used to translate the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into USD at the following balance sheet dates.
| | March 31, 2020 | | | March 31, 2019 | |
Euro to USD | | | 1.10314 | | | | 1.12200 | |
Colombian Peso to USD | | | n/a | | | | 0.00031 | |
The following rates were used to translate the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into USD for the following operating periods:
| | Year ended March 31, | |
| | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
Euro to USD | | | 1.11122 | | | | 1.13580 | |
Colombian Peso to USD | | | n/a | | | | 0.00033 | |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentration of credit risk include cash, accounts receivable, and advances. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, cash balances that exceeded FDIC limits were $0, and we have not experienced significant losses relating to these concentrations in the past.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no cash equivalents.
Receivables
Receivables are carried at net realizable value, representing the outstanding balance less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. We had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Cryptocurrencies
We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets (“cryptocurrencies”) and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other current assets. We record cryptocurrencies at fair market value and recognize the change in the fair value of our cryptocurrencies as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the fair value of our cryptocurrencies was $101,610 and $142,061, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we recorded $(815) and $113,369 as realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $16,241 and $106,488 as realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019 fixed assets were made up of the following:
| | Estimated | | | | | | |
| | Useful | | | | | | |
| | Life | | March 31, | | | March 31, | |
| | (years) | | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | | 10 | | $ | 12,792 | | | $ | 11,372 | |
Computer equipment | | 3 | | | 19,533 | | | | 14,661 | |
Data processing equipment | | 3 | | | 3,213,815 | | | | - | |
| | | | | 3,246,140 | | | | 26,033 | |
Accumulated amortization | | | | | (248,529 | ) | | | (12,505 | ) |
Net book value | | | | $ | 2,997,611 | | | $ | 13,528 | |
Total depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was $490,642 and $5,332, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement
We account for our intangible assets and long-term license agreement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Further, ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires an intangible asset to be amortized over its useful life and for the useful life to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
In June of 2017 we issued 80,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $2,256,000 for a 15-year license agreement. Annual amortization over the 15-year life is expected to be approximately $150,400 per year. Amortization recognized for the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was $150,812 and $150,400, respectively, and the long-term license agreement was recorded at a net value of $0 and $1,983,220 as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In June of 2018 we purchased United Games, LLC and United League, LLC and recorded the transaction as a business combination (see Note 5). Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019 intangible assets were made up of the following:
| | Estimated | | | | | | |
| | Useful | | | | | | |
| | Life | | March 31, | | | March 31, | |
| | (years) | | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
FireFan mobile application | | 4 | | $ | 331,000 | | | $ | 331,000 | |
Back office software | | 10 | | | 408,000 | | | | 408,000 | |
Tradename/trademark - FireFan | | 5 | | | 248,000 | | | | 248,000 | |
Tradename/trademark - United Games | | 0.45 | | | 4,000 | | | | 4,000 | |
Customer contracts/relationships | | 5 | | | - | | | | 825,000 | |
| | | | | 991,000 | | | | 1,816,000 | |
Accumulated amortization | | | | | (298,118 | ) | | | (239,315 | ) |
Net book value | | | | $ | 692,882 | | | $ | 1,576,685 | |
Amortization expense is expected to be as follows:
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 | | $ | 173,150 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 | | | 173,150 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 | | | 115,338 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 | | | 55,748 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and beyond | | | 175,496 | |
| | $ | 692,882 | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by us be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
Effective March 31, 2020 we fully impaired data processing equipment that had a cost basis of $2,025,500 and we fully impaired our long-term license agreement that had a cost basis of $2,256,000 because we deemed the assets carrying amount was not recoverable as of that date. As a result, impairment expense of $1,770,881 and $1,832,408 for the equipment and the license agreement, respectively, was recorded for the year ended March 31, 2020. During the year ended March 31, 2020 we impaired the value of the customer contracts/relationships originally acquired in our purchase of United Games, LLC and United League, LLC, therefore recognizing impairment expense of $627,452.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
| Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access. |
| | |
| Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: |
| | |
| | - | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| | - | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; |
| | - | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and |
| | - | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| | |
| Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). |
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of March 31, 2020:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Cryptocurrencies | | $ | 101,610 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 101,610 | |

Sale and Leaseback
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, APEX Tex, LLC, we sell high powered data processing equipment (“APEX”) to our customers and they lease the equipment back to SAFETek, LLC, another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We account for these transactions under ASC 842-40 where the leaseback has been deemed a sales-type lease due to the lease term generally covering the entire economic life of the equipment and our likelihood to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term. In accordance with ASC 842-40 we have recorded the data processing equipment as a fixed asset on our balance sheet and we have accounted for the amounts received for the equipment as a financial liability, in other liabilities on our balance sheet. Further, we will recognize interest on the financial liability over the term of the lease to ensure the financial liability equates to the total amounts to be paid over the life of the lease. During the year ended March 31, 2020 we recorded deferred interest of $40,792,735 as a contra-liability, of which $2,257,399 was recognized into interest, resulting in $38,535,336 expected to be recognized into interest as follows:
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 | | $ | 8,081,463 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 | | | 8,158,547 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 | | | 8,158,547 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 | | | 8,158,547 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and beyond | | | 5,978,232 | |
| | $ | 38,535,336 | |
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we had the following activity related to our sale and leaseback transactions:
Proceeds from sales of APEX | | $ | 16,143,265 | |
Debt extinguished with the issuance of APEX | | | 100,000 | |
Interest recognized on financial liability | | | 2,257,399 | |
Payments made for leased equipment | | | (3,208,000 | ) |
Total financial liability | | | 15,292,664 | |
Other current liabilities [1] | | | (11,407,200 | ) |
Other long-term liabilities, net of deferred interest | | $ | 3,885,464 | |
[1] Represents lease payments to be made in the next 12 months
As of March 31, 2020 we have received proceeds of $392,310 in additional deposits for APEX sales, which has been recorded in the customer advance amount shown on our balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period, therefore we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.
Equipment Sales
We generate revenue from the sale of high-speed computer processing equipment that is used for any of the following intense processing activities: protein folding, CGI rendering, Game Streaming, Machine & Deep Learning, Mining, Independent Financial Verification, and general high-speed computing. We recognize equipment sales revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver an equipment package to our customers which includes hardware, software, and firmware and is drop-shipped to a hosting data center. We receive payment at the time of purchase and recognize revenue when the equipment package is delivered and ready for maintenance and hosting, which our customers arrange for, and obtain, from a separate third party that provides such services.
Cryptocurrency Mining Service Revenue
In the past we generated revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency mining services to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. We recognized cryptocurrency mining service revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation was to arrange for the third-party to provide mining services to our customers and payment is received at the time of purchase, therefore revenue was recognized upon receipt of payment. We recognized revenue in the amount of the fee to which we are entitled to as an agent, or the amount of consideration that we retained after paying the third-party the consideration received in exchange for the services the third-party was to provide.
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we lease equipment under a sales-type lease and use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.
Revenue generated for the year ended March 31, 2020, was as follows:

Foreign revenues for the year ended March 31, 2019 were approximately $27.3 million while domestic revenue for the year ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $2.3 million.
Advertising, Selling, and Marketing Costs
We expense advertising, selling, and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising, selling, and marketing costs include costs of promoting our product worldwide, including promotional events. Advertising, selling, and marketing expenses for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, totaled $1,696,133 and $878,936, respectively.
Income Taxes
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
We follow ASC Subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share, which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
| | March 31, 2020 | | | March 31, 2019 | |
Options to purchase common stock | | | - | | | | 35,000 | |
Warrants to purchase common stock | | | - | | | | 5,052,497 | |
Notes convertible into common stock | | | 45,743,298 | | | | 52,162,055 | |
Total | | | 45,743,298 | | | | 57,249,552 | |
Lease Obligation
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset account, the operating lease liability, current account, and the operating lease liability, long term account in our balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected the practical expedient and will not separate non-lease components from lease components and will instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with the lease components as a single lease component.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe are applicable or would have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $46,382,174 as of March 31, 2020, along with a net loss of $21,285,191 for the year ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $14,123,625. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended March 31, 2020, we raised $4,484,979 in cash proceeds from related parties, $2,527,452 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements, and $825,000 from the sale of common stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we obtained $10,049,435 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements (see Note 13). Additionally, subject to a Securities Purchase agreement entered into in April 2020 we have a commitment from an investor to purchase a $9 million promissory note on or before October 31, 2020, subject to certain conditions.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the coronavirus will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the company. To date, the Company is experiencing challenges in multiple areas of the organization and the full economic impact is yet to be established.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we made significant strides and wide sweeping changes. While we believe they will be beneficial to our bottom line, there is no assurance of this. Some of the concerns we face going forward will continue, including but not limited to:
| ● | Supply chain issues for Apex Tek, LLC and the sourcing of miners due to the worldwide COVID pandemic and manufacturing slow downs |
| | |
| ● | SAFETek, LLC operations not scaling according to projections with decreased output due to mining difficulty and operational cost |
| | |
| ● | Regulatory reform that could adversely impact the use and demand of digital currencies |
| | |
| ● | The recent Bitcoin (BTC) halving event that further reduced mining output in addition to the supply chain issues |
Apex Tek, LLC and SAFETek, LLC carry additional risk and generated recent losses, however, they also provide Investview a stake in 4IR, HPC, app development, fintech, blockchain and personal money management sectors. Each of these are areas that are targeted for significant growth spurred by innovations through technology which solidify our position in the fintech space.
While our liabilities are larger than our assets it is important to note that we seek to further reduce our operating expense. The assets we have acquired and will continue to seek out are those of technology, mobile apps, and human resources. These assets are not easily defined on our balance sheet but represent our ability to carry out our objectives which we believe will ultimately lead to positive cash flow, reduced debt and then profitability.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of United Games, LLC and United League, LLC
On July 20, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with United Games Marketing LLC, a Utah limited liability company, to purchase its wholly owned subsidiaries United Games, LLC and United League, LLC for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock. United Games, LLC and United League, LLC provide distributor marketing back-office and commission tools and online sports gaming experience for users of their applications distributed through their networks of affiliates therefore we expect significant synergies to exist as a result of combining operations.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB (ASC Topic 805). The following table summarizes the purchase accounting for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition and the gain on bargain purchase which resulted from the fair value of the intangible assets acquired exceeding the fair value of our common stock given as consideration:
Cash | | $ | 3,740 | |
Receivables | | | 361,345 | |
Intangible assets (see Note 2) | | | 1,816,000 | |
Total assets acquired | | | 2,181,085 | |
| | | | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | 409,803 | |

Net assets acquired | | | 1,771,282 | |
| | | | |
Consideration [1] | | | 800,000 | |
| | | | |
Gain on bargain purchase | | $ | 971,282 | |
| [1] | The 50,000,000 shares of our common stock transferred as consideration in accordance with the Purchase Agreement was valued on July 20, 2018, the date of acquisition, based on the weighted equity fair value of $0.016 per share as determined by a third-party valuation firm. |
United Games, LLC and United League, LLC recorded combined revenue of $1,331,542 and a combined net income of $26,059 since the July 20, 2018 acquisition date, which were included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019.
The table below represents the pro forma revenue and net income (loss) for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, assuming the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2017, pursuant to ASC Subtopic 805-10-50. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual results of our operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on this date nor does it purport to predict the results of operations for future periods:

[1] | We periodically receive advances for operating funds from our current majority shareholders, officers, directors and other related parties, including entities that are owned, controlled, or influenced by our owners or management. These advances are due on demand, generally have no set interest rates associated with them, and are unsecured. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we received $2,484,979 in cash proceeds from advances, incurred $769,999 in interest, and repaid related parties a total of $1,292,160. Also during the year ended March 31, 2020 we settled $1,880 of amounts that were recorded as due prior to March 31, 2018, settled $100,000 by issuing APEX units, and settled $500,000 with the issuance of common stock. |
[2] | A member of the senior management team advanced funds of $100,000 on August 17, 2018, under a short-term promissory note due to be repaid on August 31, 2018. On August 31, 2018 the note was amended to be due on demand or, in absence of a demand, due on August 31, 2019. The note had a fixed interest payment of $5,000, which was recorded as interest expense in the statement of operations during the year ended March 31, 2019. During the year ended March 31, 2020 we made repayments of $105,000 on the note. |

[3] | We entered into a $1,000,000 promissory note with Joeseph Cammarata, our Chief Executive Officer, on January 30, 2020. The term of the note is one year, at which time the principal and interest of 20%, or $200,000 will be due. During the year ended March 31, 2020 we recognized $33,333 of interest expense on the note. |
| |
[4] | During the year ended March 31, 2020 we entered into an employment agreement with Jayme McWidener as our Chief Financial Officer. At the date we entered into the employment agreement we owed her firm, Mac Accounting Group, LLP, $75,000, which was reclassified as a related party accounts payable balance on our balance sheet. We made repayments on the liability of $20,000 since the date we entered into the employment agreement. |
In addition to the above related party debt transactions that were outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 we entered into a $3,600,000 convertible promissory note with a member of the senior management team on July 23, 2019. We received proceeds of $1,000,000 from the note, including $900,000 in cash and $100,000 which offset amounts owing to the lender. In accordance with the terms of the note we were required to repay a monthly minimum payment of $50,000 beginning January of 2020 through June of 2020 and a monthly minimum payment of $100,000 beginning July of 2020 until the total principal amount has been repaid. The lender had the right to convert up to $2,600,000 of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.005 per share, subject to adjustment. At inception we recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,000,000 as a debt discount (see Note 10) and we recorded $2,600,000 as a debt discount, representing the difference between the face value of the note and the proceeds received. Effective March 31, 2020 we entered into a settlement agreement to issue 200,000,000 shares of our common stock (see Note 10) to repay the $3,600,000 convertible promissory note and $500,000 worth of short-term advances (see [1] above), for a total of $4,100,000 worth of related party debt settled.

[7] | In January 2019, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and received proceeds of $135,000 after incurring loan fees of $3,000. The note incurs interest at 12% per annum and has a maturity date of April 11, 2020. The Convertible Promissory Note has a variable conversion rate that is 65% of the lowest closing price during the previous 15-trading-day period, subject to adjustment. Therefore, the conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative instrument (see Note 8). At inception, we recorded a debt discount of $138,000 and captured loan fees, recorded as interest expense, of $450,005. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded amortization of the debt discount of $23,152 into interest expense and recorded additional interest expense on the note of $3,448.

[8] | In February 2019, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and received proceeds of $240,000. The note was issued with a $30,000 original issue discount and loan fees of $3,000, incurred interest at 12% per annum, and had a maturity date of August 6, 2019. In accordance with the terms of the note, we issued 22,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Returnable Shares”) to the note holder as a commitment fee (see Note 10), provided, however, the Returnable Shares must be returned to us if the note is fully repaid and satisfied prior to the date which is 180 days following the issue date. The Convertible Promissory Note had a variable conversion rate that was 65% of the lowest trading price during the previous 20-trading-day period, subject to adjustment. Therefore, the conversion feature was accounted for as a derivative instrument (see Note 8). We allocated the proceeds of the note to the common stock issued and to the fair value of the note, taking into consideration the fair value of the conversion feature. As a result, the common stock was valued at $69,871, we recorded a debt discount of $270,000, and captured loan fees, recorded as interest expense, of $120,128. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded amortization of the debt discount of $72,514 into interest expense and recorded additional interest expense on the note of $4,172.

[9] | In March 2019, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and received proceeds of $135,000 after incurring loan fees of $3,000.

Therefore, the conversion feature was accounted for as a derivative instrument (see Note 8). At inception, we recorded a debt discount of $138,000 and captured loan fees, recorded as interest expense, of $64,492. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded amortization of the debt discount of $4,831 into interest expense and recorded additional interest expense on the note of $726.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we were required to repay $1,399,000 by making daily ACH payments of $6,823. Accordingly, we recorded $446,604 as a debt discount at the inception of the agreement, which was the difference between the funds received plus the earlier debt paid off, and the amount that was to be repaid. |
Effective December 10, 2019 this debt was refinanced and the outstanding balance of $839,514 was rolled into a new Secured Merchant Agreement for future receivables. During the year ended March 31, 2020, prior to the refinance, we repaid $559,486 and amortized $446,605 into interest expense related to the August 2019 arrangement. As a result of the refinancing arrangement we received proceeds of $854,801. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we were required to repay $2,448,250 by making daily ACH payments of $10,999. Accordingly, we recorded $753,935 as a debt discount at the inception of the agreement, which was the difference between the funds received plus the earlier debt paid off, and the amount that was to be repaid. During the year ended March 31, 2020, after the refinance, we repaid $747,932 and amortized $277,232 into interest expense related to the new December 2019 arrangement.
[11] | During August 2019, we entered into a Secured Merchant Agreement for future receivables with an entity that provides quick access to working capital. In August 2019, we received proceeds from this arrangement of $418,381 after paying off $382,000 from an October 2018 agreement (see notation [4] above). In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we were required to repay $1,189,150 by making daily ACH payments of $5,801. Accordingly, we recorded $388,769 as a debt discount at the inception of the agreement, which was the difference between the funds received plus the earlier debt paid off, and the amount that was to be repaid. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we repaid $853,203 and amortized $312,912 into interest expense. |

[12] | In March 2020, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and received proceeds of $200,000 after incurring loan fees of $3,000. The note incurs interest at 10% per annum and has a maturity date of June 2, 2021. The Convertible Promissory Note has a variable conversion rate that is 65% of the average of the two lowest trading prices during the previous 15-trading-day period, subject to adjustment. Therefore, the conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative instrument (see Note 8). At inception, we recorded a debt discount of $203,000 and captured loan fees, recorded as interest expense, of $116,077. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we amortized $11,626 into interest expense, and recorded additional interest expense on the note of $1,446. |
[13] | In March 2020, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and received proceeds of $150,000 after incurring loan fees of $3,000. The note incurs interest at 10% per annum and has a maturity date of June 10, 2021. The Convertible Promissory Note has a variable conversion rate that is 65% of the average of the two lowest trading prices during the previous 15-trading-day period, subject to adjustment. Therefore, the conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative instrument (see Note 8). At inception, we recorded a debt discount of $153,000 and captured loan fees, recorded as interest expense, of $148,432. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we amortized $6,711 into interest expense, and recorded additional interest expense on the note of $838. |
In addition to the above debt transactions that were outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, during the year ended March 31, 2020, we also received proceeds of $200,000 from two additional short-term notes ($100,000 each) and received proceeds of $140,000, $100,000, and $125,000 from three separate convertible promissory notes. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we recorded interest expense of $30,000 for fixed interest and extension fees on the short-term notes and made total cash payments of $230,000 to extinguish the interest and principal amounts due on the short-term notes. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we accounted for the conversion features in the convertible notes as a derivative instrument, therefore at inception recorded a debt discounts of $374,000 and captured loan fees, recorded as interest expense, of $945,060. By the time we repaid the convertible notes we had amortized the full debt discount of $374,000 into interest expense, recorded additional interest expense on the notes of $119,931 (inclusive of prepayment penalties), and paid off the notes, accrued interest, and prepayment penalties for $493,931.
NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
During the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had the following activity in our derivative liability account:
Derivative liability at March 31, 2018 | | $ | - | |
Derivative liability recorded on new instruments | | | 1,144,525 | |

We use the binomial option pricing model to estimate fair value for those instruments convertible into common stock, at inception, at conversion or settlement date, and at each reporting date. During the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the assumptions used in our binomial option pricing model were in the following range:
| | | Year Ended March 31, | |
| | | 2020 | | | | 2019 | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 0.17% - 2.13 | % | | | 2.40% - 2.58 | % |
Expected life in years | | | 0.03 - 1.25 | | | | 0.35 - 1.25 | |
Expected volatility | | | 224% - 381 | % | | | 222% - 268 | % |
NOTE 9 – OPERATING LEASE
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Leases are classified as either finance or operating with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on April 1, 2019. We did not record a lease asset and lease liability as of the adoption date as we had no lease arrangements or lease obligation at that time.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we entered two operating leases for office space in Eatontown, New Jersey (the “Eatontown Lease”) and Kaysville, Utah (the “Kaysville Lease”). We have the option to extend the three-year lease term of the Eatontown Lease for a period of one year. In addition, we are obligated to pay twelve monthly installments to cover an annual utility charge of $1.75 per rentable square foot for electric usage within the demised premises. As the lessor has the right to digitally meter and charge us, these payments were deemed variable and will be expensed as incurred. During the year ended March 31, 2020 the variable lease costs amounted to $2,217. At commencement of the Eatontown Lease, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities amounted to $110,097. We have the option to extend the twelve-and-a-half-month lease term of the Kaysville Lease for a period of one year. At commencement of the Kaysville Lease, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities amounted to $21,147.
Operating lease expense was $41,027 for the year ended March 31, 2020. Operating cash flows used for the operating leases during the year ended March 31, 2020 was $33,694. As of March 31, 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.15 years and the weighted average discount rate was 12%.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of March 31, 2020 were as follows:
2021 | | $ | 56,794 | |
2022 | | | 48,000 | |
2023 | | | 16,000 | |
Total | | | 120,794 | |
Less: Interest | | | (13,996 | ) |

Operating lease liability, long term | | $ | 50,268 | |
[1] Represents lease payments to be made in the next 12 months
NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 and our board of directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges, and preferences of that preferred stock.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 our Board of Directors approved the designation of 2,000,000 of the Company’s shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock holders are entitled to 500 votes per share, are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 12% per annum of the liquidation price, equal to $1.20 per share, and can convert one Series B Preferred Stock share into 500 shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock Transactions
During the year ended March 31, 2020, we issued 59,215,648 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of $825,000. Effective March 31, 2020 we entered into a settlement agreement to issue 200,000,000 shares of our common stock to repay a $3,600,000 convertible promissory note and $500,000 worth of short-term advances, for a total of $4,100,000 worth of related party debt settled (see Note 6).
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we issued 522,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $4,561,500 based on the market value on the day of issuance, to multiple employees for services and compensation, which is subject to forfeiture if the employee is not in good standing at the time the shares are fully vested, or in some cases, if certain milestones are not met. Of the $4,561,500 value we recognized $2,836,843 as an expense during the year ending March 31, 2020 and the remaining $1,724,657 will be recognized ratably over the vesting term. In addition to the shares issued to employees, we also issued an additional 15,618,592 shares of common stock, valued at $261,800 based on the market value on the day of issuance, for services.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we repurchased 5,150 shares of common stock for $102 and we cancelled 22,500,000 shares that were returned in accordance with the terms of a Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 6), reducing common stock by $22,500 and increasing additional paid in capital by the same. We also cancelled 200,000,000 shares returned in conjunction with the termination of a Joint Venture Agreement entered into in March of 2019, reducing common stock by $200,000, reducing additional paid in capital by $3,180,000, offset with a reduction in our prepaid asset of $3,380,000. During the year ended March 31, 2020 we recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,000,000 related to a convertible promissory note entered into with a related party (see Note 6).
In conjunction with the sale of common stock during the year ended March 31, 2018, we provided a guarantee to certain individuals such that we would issue additional shares of our common stock if the average closing price of our common stock fell below $0.02 per share on the 20 days preceding the 18-month anniversary of the date the shares were originally sold. As a result of this guarantee, we had recorded $626,388 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $525,000 to remove the previously recorded offering costs. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $101,387 to remove the previously recorded offering costs.
During the year ended March 31, 2019, we issued 50,000,000 shares of common stock for the acquisition of United Games, LLC and United League, LLC (see Note 5). We also issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in August and 1,000,000 shares of common stock in March, valued at $10,000 and $17,600, respectively, based on the market price on the day of issuance, to an employee for compensation. The shares are subject to forfeiture if the employee is not in good standing six months after the date of issuance. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the $10,000 was recognized as expense and of the $17,600 we recognized $2,933 as an expense and $14,667 was recorded as a prepaid asset. Also during the year ended March 31, 2019, we issued 400,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $6,760,000 based on the market price on the date of issuance, for an agreement to partner with a third party to generate future revenues. The 400,000,000 shares are subject to forfeiture for five years from the date of issuance, such that shares will be deemed earned upon meeting certain milestones. We are recognizing the expense ratably over the five-year term and recorded $96,307 in expense during the year ended March 31, 2019, while recording $6,663,693 as a prepaid asset as of March 31, 2019. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement that provides cash of $1,000,000 in exchange for shares of our common stock. In conjunction with that agreement, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock that was accounted for as offering costs, increasing common stock by $3,000 and decreasing additional paid-in capital by $3,000, to offset any proceeds from the future equity transactions resulting from the agreement. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we issued 22,500,000 shares as a commitment fee in conjunction with a debt arrangement, whereby the shares were valued at $69,871 based on the allocation of debt proceeds (see Note 7). Also during the year ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 7,000,000 shares of common stock for $91,000.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had 3,214,490,408 and 2,640,161,318 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, we may be or have been involved in legal proceedings from time to time. Below is a description of all legal proceedings we were involved in during the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:
| ● | In February 2018, we received a subpoena from the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). We complied with the terms of the subpoena, negotiated a resolution of this matter with the CFTC staff, and a final order was issued on September 14, 2018. Under the order, we did not admit or deny any of the allegations, agreed to pay a fine of $150,000, and agreed not to act as an unregistered Commodities Trading Advisor in the future. As of March 31, 2020, we have paid all amounts owed to CFTC and no unpaid balance remains. |

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company used an effective tax rate of 30% when calculating the deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax provision below.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of March 31, 2020 and 2019:
| | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | | |
NOL carryover | | $ | 7,215,400 | | | $ | 2,363,900 | |
Accrued Payroll | | | 207,100 | | | | 209,100 | |
Amortization | | | 275,700 | | | | 49,100 | |

Valuation allowance | | | (6,808,900 | ) | | | (2,622,400 | ) |
Total long-term deferred income tax assets | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, due to the following:
| | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
Book income (loss) | | $ | (6,385,600 | ) | | $ | (1,493,400 | ) |
Stock for services | | | 929,600 | | | | 32,800 | |

At March 31, 2020, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $24,051,000 that may be offset against future taxable income for the year 2021 through 2040. However, due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the NOL accumulated prior to the April 1, 2017, acquisition can only offset future income of up to $13,837 per year until expired. Should additional changes in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards in future years may be further limited.
No tax benefit from continuing or discontinued operations have been reported in the March 31, 2020, consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
We comply with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 in accounting for our uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We have determined that we have no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740.
We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. We had no accruals for interest and tax penalties at March 31, 2020 and 2019.
We do not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next 12 months.
We are required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, in New York State, New Jersey, and in Utah. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before March 31, 2016. During the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 we paid income taxes of $7,383 and $70,768, respectively.
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we received proceeds of $2,091,135 in short-term advances from related parties, $2,000,000 from a short-term promissory note with a related party, and $400,000 from a short-term promissory note with a non-related party. Additionally, we received $505,300 in proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program as established by the CARES Act, along with an additional $500,000 in proceeds from a loan with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we repurchased 9,079 shares of our common stock from a third party. These shares were immediately canceled. Also subsequent to March 31, 2020 we issued 21,000,000 shares of our common stock for services and compensation.
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, we have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and have determined that there are no additional subsequent events that require disclosure.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SafeTek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. Through March 31, 2019 we had determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we previously conducted business with, was a variable interest entity and we were the primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to those of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, through March 31, 2019 we had consolidated the accounts of this variable interest entity into the consolidated financial statements. Further, because the Company did not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, the Company had allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a component of noncontrolling interest. As of April 1, 2019 Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. had no operations and ceased to exist, therefore, as of that date, no consolidation of the entity was necessary and we recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $53,739 to eliminate the intercompany account with Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Reclassification
Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Foreign Exchange
We have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. into our consolidated financial statements. The operations of Kuvera France S.A.S. are conducted in France and its functional currency is the Euro.
The financial statements of Kuvera France S.A.S. are prepared using their functional currency and have been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Stockholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Cryptocurrencies
We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets (“cryptocurrencies”) and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other current assets. We record cryptocurrencies at fair market value and recognize the change in the fair value of our cryptocurrencies as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the fair value of our cryptocurrencies was $155,628 and $96,022, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded $1,096 and $176,817 as a total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2019 we recorded $(667) and $25,330 as a total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded $1,096 and $85,331 as a total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 we recorded $(1,077) and $(122,080) as a total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
As of September 30, 2020 fixed assets were made up of the following:
| | Estimated | | | | |
| | Useful | | | | |
| | Life | | | | |
| | (years) | | | Value | |
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | | | 10 | | | $ | 12,792 | |
Computer equipment | | | 3 | | | | 21,143 | |
Data processing equipment | | | 3 | | | | 7,095,515 | |
| | | | | | | 7,129,450 | |
Accumulated depreciation as of September 30, 2020 | | | | | | | (1,211,446 | ) |
Net book value, September 30, 2020 | | | | | | $ | 5,918,004 | |
Total depreciation expense for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $982,819 and $36,007, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement
We account for our intangible assets and long-term license agreement in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Further, ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires an intangible asset to be amortized over its useful life and for the useful life to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
In June of 2017 we issued 80,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $2,256,000 for a 15-year license agreement. Amortization recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $75,406, respectively, and the long-term license agreement was recorded at a net value of $0 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 due to the asset being impaired as of March 31, 2020.

In June of 2018 we purchased United Games, LLC and United League, LLC and recorded the transaction as a business combination. Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. As of September 30, 2020 intangible assets were made up of the following:
| | Estimated | | | | |
| | Useful | | | | |
| | Life | | | | |
| | (years) | | | Value | |
FireFan mobile application | | | 4 | | | $ | 331,000 | |

Net book value, September 30, 2020 | | | | | | $ | 606,070 | |
Amortization expense for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $86,812 and $169,539, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to be as follows:
Remainder of 2021 | | $ | 86,338 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 | | | 173,150 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 | | | 173,150 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 | | | 32,589 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 | | | 6,148 | |
Fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 and beyond | | | 134,695 | |
| | $ | 606,070 | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we fully impaired data processing equipment that had a cost basis of $84,939 and we fully impaired a computer that had a cost basis of $1,609 because the assets were no longer in use. The accumulated depreciation of the assets at the time they were written off was $19,903, therefore we recognized impairment expense of $66,645 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. No impairment expense was recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2019.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
| Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access. |
| | |
| Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: |
| - | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| - | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; |
| - | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and |
| - | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). |

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature.

Sale and Leaseback
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, APEX Tex, LLC, we sold high powered data processing equipment (“APEX”) to our customers and they leased the equipment back to SAFETek, LLC, another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We account for these transactions under ASC 842-40 where the leaseback has been deemed a sales-type lease due to the lease term generally covering the entire economic life of the equipment and our likelihood to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term. In accordance with ASC 842-40 we have recorded the data processing equipment as a fixed asset on our balance sheet and we have accounted for the amounts received for the equipment as a financial liability, in other liabilities on our balance sheet. Further, we will recognize interest on the financial liability over the term of the lease to ensure the financial liability equates to the total amounts to be paid over the life of the lease. During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we had the following activity related to our sale and leaseback transactions:

As of September 30, 2020 we have ceased selling the APEX package. We may re-introduce APEX at a later date after further evaluation of the model.
Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we lease equipment under a sales-type lease and use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.
Revenue generated for the six months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows:

Net Income (Loss) per Share
We follow ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
| | September 30, 2020 | | | September 30, 2019 | |
Options to purchase common stock | | | - | | | | 35,000 | |

Totals | | | 161,975,538 | | | | 59,050,867 | |
Lease Obligation
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset account, the operating lease liability, current account, and the operating lease liability, long term account in our balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
INVESTVIEW, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected the practical expedient and will not separate non-lease components from lease components and will instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with the lease components as a single lease component.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has not yet adopted that they believe are applicable or would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $52,536,063 as of September 30, 2020, along with a net loss of $6,101,547 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $583,955 and a working capital deficit of $18,383,173. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt and equity financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, we raised $1,405,300 in cash proceeds from new debt arrangements and raised $4,474,137 in cash proceeds from related parties. Additionally, net cash provided by operations was $661,629 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we received gross proceeds of $93,300 in connection with our Unit Offering (see NOTE 11). Additionally, subject to a Securities Purchase agreement entered into in April 2020 we have a commitment from an investor to purchase a $9 million promissory note on or before October 31, 2020, subject to certain conditions.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the coronavirus will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the company. To date, the Company is experiencing challenges in multiple areas of the organization and the full economic impact is yet to be established.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 we made significant strides and wide sweeping changes. While we believe they will be beneficial to our bottom line, there is no assurance of this. Some of the concerns we face going forward will continue, including but not limited to:
| ● | Supply chain issues for Apex Tek, LLC and the sourcing of miners due to the worldwide COVID pandemic and manufacturing slow downs |
| | |
| ● | SAFETek, LLC operations not scaling according to projections with decreased output due to mining difficulty and operational cost |
| | |
| ● | Regulatory reform that could adversely impact the use and demand of digital currencies |
| | |
| ● | The recent Bitcoin (BTC) halving event that further reduced mining output in addition to the supply chain issues |

(Unaudited)
Apex Tek, LLC and SAFETek, LLC carry additional risk and generated recent losses, however, they also provide Investview a stake in 4IR, HPC, app development, fintech, blockchain and personal money management sectors. Each of these are areas that are targeted for significant growth spurred by innovations through technology which solidify our position in the fintech space.
While our liabilities are larger than our assets it is important to note that we seek to further reduce our operating expense. The assets we have acquired and will continue to seek out are those of technology, mobile apps, and human resources. These assets are not easily defined on our balance sheet but represent our ability to carry out our objectives which we believe will ultimately lead to positive cash flow, reduced debt and then profitability.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During the year ended March 31, 2020 our Board of Directors approved the designation of 2,000,000 of the Company’s shares of preferred stock as Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), each with a stated value of $25 per share. Our Series B Preferred Stock holders are entitled to 500 votes per share, are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 13% per annum of the stated value, equal to $3.25 per annum per share.
During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we commenced a security offering to sell a total of 2,000,000 units at $25 per unit (“Unit Offering”), such that each unit consisted of: (i) one share of our newly authorized Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) five warrants each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant share. Each Warrant offered is immediately exercisable on the date of issuance, will expire 5 years from the date of issuance, and its value has been classified as a fair value liability due to the terms of the instrument (see NOTE 7). During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we sold 46,612 units for gross proceeds of $1,165,300, therefore recorded the issuance of 46,612 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the grant of 233,060 warrants during the period. Of the gross proceeds, $6,499 was allocated to the warrants and recorded as a derivative liability and $1,158,801 was allocated to the preferred stock ($47 recorded as the par value and $1,158,754 allocated to additional paid in capital). Also in conjunction with the Unit Offering we paid $21,000 of offering costs which was allocated between the preferred stock and warrants. The $20,994 allocated to the preferred stock decreased additional paid in capital due to the underlying instrument being classified as equity and the $6 allocated to the warrants was immediately expensed as offering costs due to the underlying instrument being classified as a fair value liability.
Preferred Stock Dividends
During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded $52,342 for the cumulative cash dividends due to the shareholders of our Series B Preferred Stock and paid $14,567 of these amounts owing. As a result we recorded $37,775 as a dividend liability on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.
Common Stock
During the six months ended September 30, 2020, we issued 21,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $399,000 based on the market value on the day of issuance, for services and compensation, which is subject to forfeiture if the employee or contractor is not in good standing at the time the shares are fully vested. Of the $399,000 value we recognized $128,497 as an expense during the six months ending September 30, 2020 and the remaining $270,503 will be recognized ratably over the vesting term. In addition, during the six months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $666,738 as expense due to the vesting of shares of common stock previously issued.
During the six months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 9,079 shares of our common stock from a third party for $272 and repurchased 106,000,000 shares of our common stock from former members of our senior management team and founders for $120,000, all of which was recorded in Accounts Payable on our balance sheet at September 30, 2020.

In the ordinary course of business, we may be, or have been, involved in legal proceedings from time to time. During the six months ended September 30, 2020 we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASE
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Leases are classified as either finance or operating with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on April 1, 2019. We did not record a lease asset and lease liability as of the adoption date as we had no lease arrangements or lease obligation at that time.
In August 2019 we entered an operating lease for office space in Eatontown, New Jersey (the “Eatontown Lease”) and in September 2019 we entered an operating lease for office space in Kaysville, Utah (the “Kaysville Lease”). We have the option to extend the three year lease term of the Eatontown Lease for a period of one year. In addition, we are obligated to pay twelve monthly installments to cover an annual utility charge of $1.75 per rentable square foot for electric usage within the demised premises. As the lessor has the right to digitally meter and charge us accordingly, these payments were deemed variable and will be expensed as incurred. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 the variable lease costs amounted to $831 and $1,662, respectively. At commencement of the Eatontown Lease, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities amounted to $110,097. At commencement of the Kaysville Lease, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities amounted to $21,147. As of October 1, 2020, the Company began leasing the property located in Kaysville on a month to month basis.
Operating lease expense was $16,397 and $32,794 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. Operating cash flows used for the operating leases during the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 were $16,897 and $32,794. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term was 1.83 years and the weighted average discount rate was 12%.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:
Remainder of 2021 | | $ | 24,000 | |
2022 | | | 48,000 | |
2023 | | | 16,000 | |
Total | | | 88,000 | |
Less: Interest | | | (8,572 | ) |
Present value of lease liability | | | 79,428 | |
Operating lease liability, current [1] | | | (48,000 | ) |
Operating lease liability, long term | | $ | 31,428 | |
[1] Represents lease payments to be made in the next 12 months
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we paid $7,601 of dividends that were accrued as of September 30, 2020. Also, subsequent to September 30, 2020, we received gross proceeds of $93,300 in connection with our Unit Offering.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statures and “Article VII—Indemnification of Officers, Directors, and Others” of the Registrant’s amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is contrary to public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and therefore, is unenforceable.

As a result of this guarantee, we had recorded $626,388 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $525,000 to remove the previously recorded offering costs. During the six months ended September 30, 2019, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $101,387 to remove the previously recorded offering costs.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| | |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
| |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
| |
| The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| | |
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Eatontown, New Jersey, on the 17th day of December, 2020.
