| Note 7. Stockholders' Equity | Series A Preferred Stock
On February 15, 2016, the Company and Mr. Solomita entered into Amendment No. 1, which amends the Employment Agreement. Amendment No. 1 provides that the Company shall issue Mr. Solomita one share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for Mr. Solomita agreeing not to terminate his employment with the Company for a period of five years from the date of Amendment No. 1. Amendment No. 1 effectively provides Mr. Solomita with a “change of control” provision over the Company in the event that his currently-held 55% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is diluted to less than a majority. In order to issue Mr. Solomita his one share of Series A Preferred Stock under Amendment No. 1, the Company created “blank check” preferred stock. Subsequently, the board of directors of the Company approved a Certificate of Designation creating the Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequently, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Solomita.
The one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita holds a majority of the total voting power so long as Mr. Solomita holds not less than 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, assuring Mr. Solomita of control of the Company in the event that his currently-held 55% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is diluted to a level below a majority.
Additionally, the one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita contains protective provisions, which precludes the Company from taking certain actions without Mr. Solomita’s (or that of any person to whom the one share of Series A Preferred Stock is transferred) approval. More specifically, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class:
Common Stock
During the year ended February 28, 2018:
Share issuance costs for the private placements amounted to $314,243, in aggregate, and were recorded as a reduction of the gross proceeds received.
During the year ended February 28, 2017:
The shares issued to investors were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance upon the private offering safe harbor provision of Rule 506 Regulation D.
January 2018 Private Placement (the “Private Placement”)
On January 9, 2018, the Company commenced a Private Placement Offering with the issuance of one unit for $12.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase 0.25 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share exercisable sixty days from the date of closing of the private placement round in the event that the Company does not file the Resale Registration Statement or prior to that date if the holder elects to forego its registration rights. The warrant expires one year from the date of issuance.
The Purchase Agreement provides the unit holder with certain registration rights, including resale registration rights, with respect to the common stock issued in connection with the Private Placement, as well as shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant and standard an anti-dilution protection clause for a period of ninety days, following the date of closing of the private placement round, which in the event the Company issues common stock for consideration of less than $12.00 per share allows for an adjustment to the conversion ratio.
At closing of round one of the Private Placement on January 11, 2018, the Company issued for an aggregate 617,667 common shares and warrants to purchase up to 154,416 shares of common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $7,412,000. On January 22, 2018, a warrant was exercised for 31,250 common shares for total proceeds of $375,000.
At closing of round two of the Private Placement on January 30, 2018, the Company issued for an aggregate 70,000 common shares and warrants to purchase up to 17,500 shares of common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $840,000. No warrants have been exercised.
In April 2018, as the Company did not file the Resale Registration Statements, the aforementioned warrants to purchase 140,666 common shares with an exercise price of $12.00 per share and an expiration date of no later than March 31, 2019 became exercisable.
Equity Incentive Plan
On July 6, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the granting of warrants, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan with an automatic share reserve increase, as defined in the Plan, effective March 1, 2018. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who designates eligible participants to be included under the Plan, the number of awards granted, the share price pursuant to the awards and the vesting conditions and period. The awards, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant and a life not exceeding 10 years from the grant date. However, where a participant, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of the Company, the life of the options shall not exceed 5 years.

These warrants collectively have a grant date fair value of $10,412,575, in aggregate, as determined by a Black-Scholes model and will be amortized over the vesting period.
