Overview

 

RMX is a technology company focusing on developing, marketing, and delivering video-compression-based software and hardware products, built on our proprietary and patented Video Adaptive Systems Technology (VAST) video compression technology. We are working to pioneer the future of tactical video communication through our flagship VAST product. Our proprietary AV1-based video encoding technology enables high-quality video streaming over ultra-low bandwidth connections, making video possible where it was previously impossible. Our strategic goal is to establish VAST as the default tactical encoder and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) solution for defense and government operations worldwide.

 

Our primary business focus is the development and delivery of resilient compression technologies that enhance customer experiences with high-quality and low-latency video. Military and government organizations face an increasingly data-hungry operational landscape where video intelligence is critical, yet existing communication networks severely limit video capabilities. From our experience and understanding, tactical radio communication bands have been primarily voice-based and were considered unsuitable for video transmission, creating operational gaps in mission-critical scenarios.

 

This challenge is now expanding beyond defense as the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technologies creates an exponential surge in demand for video data and video compression across all sectors. Current networks and infrastructure were simply not designed for this scale of data movement, creating a looming crisis in bandwidth, storage, and power consumption. We plan to initially expand into the telecommunications, mining and medical sectors.

 

RMX achieved several key milestones in 2024, including successful quotation on the OTCQB® Venture Market of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “RMXI” in November 2024 with trading beginning in January 2025. Looking ahead, we aim to uplist to a senior exchange in 2025 while expanding our market penetration through strategic partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Our Historical Performance

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While we had cash of $396,870 and $2,267,956 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we had revenue of $137,646 and $42,241 and a net loss of $10,295,846 and $5,921,731 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We estimate that we will be able to conduct our planned operations using currently available capital resources for the next two months. We will seek to fund our operations through securities offerings, including this offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. However, the Company may not be able to raise adequate funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements from capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all. Advances from an officer or stockholder may likewise be unavailable. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed and generate significantly higher revenues than operating expenses to achieve profitability would impact its going concern status and would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy and continue as a going concern. For further discussion, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern”.

Our Industry

 

The demand for robust and widespread connectivity and access to real-time video and data is surging in response to the need for more resilient communications in the face of rising geopolitical threats. We are strategically positioned to influence and shape the defense segment of the global video streaming software market, which is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3% from 2023 to 2028 (ResearchandMarkets.com, Video Streaming Software Market by Component (Solutions, Services), Streaming Type, Deployment Mode, Delivery Channel (Pay-Tv, Internet Protocol Tv, Over-The-Top), Monetization Model, Vertical and Region – Global Forecast to 2028, June 2023). We believe VAST fundamentally reshapes what’s possible in tactical video through its revolutionary software-based approach. Unlike hardware-dependent solutions, VAST can operate on virtually any computing platform while delivering exceptional compression ratios and quality:

 

  HD video streaming at >200 Kbps and SD video at <50 Kbps (as low as 10 Kbps)

 

  Direct point-to-point streaming over any IP-based network without intermediary servers

 

  Performance on low Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) hardware including Raspberry Pi

 

  Complete control over the entire video pipeline enabling rapid adaptation to new requirements

 

  Comprehensive support for military metadata standards including STANAG/MISB KLV

 

Through extensive field validation across multiple tactical radio frequency (RF) bands in active military use—from KU/KA-band satellite communications to high frequency (HF) radio (what we believe is a historical first for video)—VAST has proven its ability to deliver reliable, high-quality video in environments where competing solutions have not been shown to operate.

 

VAST has been rigorously tested through 23 field demonstrations with U.S. Special Operations Forces and other elite units in 2024 alone. These evaluations have consistently validated VAST’s ability to transform tactical communications by enabling video streaming across previously unsuitable networks. The impact is immediate and quantifiable: 30-50% reduction in bandwidth requirements, significant cuts in storage needs, and dramatically lower power consumption. For military users, VAST enables video streaming across multiple actively used tactical frequency bands, creating entirely new operational capabilities for situational awareness and command and control. As military and commercial organizations grapple with exponentially increasing demands for video data, we believe VAST provides a sustainable path forward through unmatched efficiency. Our technology isn’t designed to just solve today’s tactical video challenges—it’s designed to enable the next generation of video-driven capabilities while ensuring underlying infrastructure remains viable and cost-effective.

 

Our Products and Services

 

Our product portfolio centers around the VAST video platform:

 

  VAST Video Encoder – Our core software-based video encoder, optimized for ultra-low bandwidth transmission over challenged networks. The encoder supports various deployment options including hardware appliances and virtual implementations.

 

  VAST Controller & VAST Vue – Management and playback applications for controlling VAST encoders and viewing transmitted video. VAST Vue offers cross-platform support (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux) with advanced features for tactical operations.

 

  VAST SDK – A comprehensive development kit allowing partners to integrate VAST technology into their existing solutions, enabling custom applications for specialized use cases.

 

Our Market Strategy

 

We operate in two primary markets:

 

  Government and Defense – This is our current focus where VAST has demonstrated significant impact by enabling video streaming across tactical communications networks previously considered unsuitable for video. Through partnerships with system integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), we are embedding VAST technology across multiple programs through established contract vehicles.

 

  Commercial Applications – We plan to address commercial applications through the CRISP platform (rebranded VAST), initially in the telecommunications, mining and medical sectors. We deliver our technology as a managed service solution, creating predictable recurring revenue streams while solving critical video delivery challenges across telecommunications, security, and enterprise markets.

Our Competition

 

Several key competitors offer video encoding solutions tailored for the specific requirements of the defense industry. These competitors have established themselves as prominent players, and their solutions compete with our VAST video platform. We believe our top competitors are AnsuR Technologies, Digital Barriers, Videosoft Global Ltd. and VITEC.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that we have competitive strengths, some of which are discussed below, that position us favorably in each aspect of our business. Our competitive position is built on several fundamental advantages that set VAST apart from all alternatives in the tactical video market:

 

  Low-Latency Simultaneous Multi-Stream Encoding and Decoding. VAST’s low latency encoding reduces the time it takes between recording a video and playing it back. This is accomplished by utilizing our sophisticated compression techniques that enable the video data to be processed and delivered more quickly. This is crucial in scenarios like military operations, video conferencing and live streaming where real-time video is essential. A more fluid and responsive watching experience is achieved by using low latency encoding, which helps to ensure that there is little lag or delay between the video source and the user.

 

  Unmatched Tactical Network Validation. VAST has been validated on every tactical RF band in active military use today, from high-bandwidth KU/KA-band satellite communications to tactical S and L-Band MANET networks, all the way down to HF radio—what we believe is a historical first for video transmission. This comprehensive validation across the entire spectrum of military communications means VAST works reliably in environments where competing solutions have not been shown to function.

 

  Direct Streaming Architecture. Unlike competitors who rely on intermediary servers or gateways, VAST streams directly over any IP-based network, point-to-point or multi-point. This direct streaming architecture eliminates additional hardware requirements, reduces latency, enhances security, and dramatically simplifies deployment in tactical environments. VAST’s ability to function without “man in the middle” infrastructure makes it uniquely suited for austere and denied environments where additional network components represent both vulnerability and logistical burden.

 

  Superior Performance on Low SWaP-C Hardware. VAST’s software-based approach is designed to deliver exceptional performance on minimal hardware, functioning effectively on platforms as modest as Raspberry Pi while competitors require specialized encoders or GPU acceleration. This fundamental efficiency translates directly to reduced SWaP-C—critical considerations in tactical deployments where every ounce and watt matters.

 

  Molecular-Level Pipeline Control. We maintain complete control over every aspect of the capture, encoding, and streaming pipeline at a “molecular level.” This comprehensive control enables us to adapt new features, support emerging standards, and overcome technical challenges with agility that we believe off-the-shelf solutions cannot match. Unlike black-box commercial encoders, VAST can be precisely tailored to the unique requirements of tactical communications, with the flexibility to evolve as mission needs change.

 

  Quality Under Extreme Constraints. Through our advanced AV1 implementation, VAST maintains superior visual quality even at bitrates as low as 10-50 Kbps—conditions where competing solutions have been shown to produce unusable imagery. We believe this capability to deliver actionable video intelligence over severely constrained networks fundamentally changes what’s possible in tactical communications, enabling video streaming over tactical communication bands previously considered unsuitable for video transmission.

 

  Comprehensive Military Standard Support. VAST fully supports military-standard metadata formats, including STANAG/MISB KLV, enabling seamless integration with existing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms. We believe this native compatibility with established military standards eliminates integration barriers while preserving critical mission data alongside video feeds.

As validated through extensive field testing with U.S. Special Operations Forces and other military units throughout 2024, VAST doesn’t just improve existing video capabilities—it enables entirely new operational possibilities by making video viable across the full spectrum of tactical communications networks. The Company expects this breakthrough capability to create an entirely new market opportunity beyond simple improvements to existing video solutions. 

 

Our Growth Strategies

 

We have developed a focused, actionable growth strategy centered on establishing VAST as the standard for tactical video in defense and government operations:

 

  U.S. Government Standardization. Our primary path to establishing VAST as the standard for tactical video is through formal Program Executive Office (PEO) acceptance, particularly with major acquisition authorities like PEO Soldier. Rather than pursuing individual unit sales, we are working directly with program offices to position VAST as a GOTS solution. This designation would establish VAST as the standard video encoding platform across the U.S. Department of Defense and partner agencies. We have already secured Authority to Operate (ATO) on U.S. Army networks through PEO Soldier and the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN), laying the groundwork for broader adoption. Our comprehensive Partner and OEM Program, which launched in February 2025, complements this approach by providing system integrators with the tools to integrate VAST within program requirements and specifications. This dual strategy—formal program acceptance combined with a robust partner ecosystem—is designed to ensure VAST becomes embedded in the technical requirements for future programs while enabling immediate deployment through established prime contractors who already have the relationships and contract vehicles to rapidly scale adoption across numerous government programs.

 

  Integration with Existing U.S. Government and Tactical Systems. Our growth strategy prioritizes seamless integration with widely deployed tactical systems and platforms. Our integration initiatives are designed to ensure VAST becomes embedded within the existing and emerging tactical systems ecosystem, driving adoption through compatibility with the platforms soldiers already rely on, while enhancing their capabilities in bandwidth-constrained environments.

 

  Technical Validation Through Field Operations. We have established VAST’s capabilities through an extensive program of field demonstrations and technical evaluations with elite military units. In 2024 alone, we completed 23 successful field and laboratory tests with defense partners, military end users, and foreign military allies. In 2025, we are building on these successes with an expanded testing program focused on operational validation with strategic units and commands. Each successful demonstration further validates VAST’s performance in authentic operational environments while building relationships with key decision-makers and technical influencers. These exercises provide warfighters direct experience with VAST’s capabilities, which we believe will generate organic demand and advocacy within operational units that ultimately drives formal program adoption.

 

  Research & Development (R&D) Focused on Network Efficiency. Our R&D roadmap is specifically targeted at enhancing VAST’s value proposition in tactical networking environments. We envision VAST evolving into a comprehensive situational awareness platform through initiatives like VUDO, which integrates video, mapping, and sensor data for core C4ISR use cases, and VADER, which enables reliable video streaming in DDIL environments via an advanced UDP format. Complemented by Bandwidth AI for adaptive video optimization and ruggedized edge computing solutions, these efforts ensure VAST’s resilience, flexibility, and effectiveness at the tactical edge. These R&D initiatives maintain our focus on solving the most challenging video transmission problems in tactical environments while expanding VAST’s capabilities beyond simple video encoding into a comprehensive tactical data platform.

 

  Path to Becoming the GOTS Standard for Tactical Video. Our ultimate strategic objective is for VAST to be designated as the GOTS solution for tactical video across the DoD and allied forces. We are executing a deliberate pathway toward this goal through actively engaging with key DoD acquisition authorities to position VAST for formal designation as the GOTS solution for tactical video encoding, securing ATO on U.S. Army networks, maintaining our CRADA partnerships, working with military standards bodies to establish our AV1-based compression approach as an open standard for tactical video, and pursuing additional security certifications. These strategic initiatives are intended to create a reinforcing cycle: each new integration and field validation drives additional interest, while our GOTS designation initiatives address the long-term sustainability and standardization requirements of the DoD. Through this comprehensive approach, we are creating the momentum and institutional support necessary for VAST to become the official standard for tactical video encoding in defense and government sectors.

Additionally, we plan to expand into commercial applications, initially in the telecommunications, mining and medical sectors, with our CRISP platform (rebranded VAST). CRISP, our proprietary compression technology, stands for Compressed Rate Intelligent Streaming Protocol. Both CRISP and VAST will be deployed as Platform As A Service (PaaS) software based multi-year contracts, which will allow for a stable and predictable revenue stream going forward.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

Regulation A provides that a filer can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same adoption period for new or revised accounting standards as public companies.

 

Upon the completion of this Offering, we may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. As defined in the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is defined as a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

 

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

 

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

If we are required to publicly report under the Exchange Act as an “emerging growth company”, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, though if the market value of our Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates were to exceed $700 million, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company.

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

 

Dual Class Structure

 

Under our articles of incorporation, we are authorized to issue two classes of Class A Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and any number of classes of preferred stock. Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on proposals requiring or requesting shareholder approval, and Class B Common Stock is entitled to one hundred votes on any such matter. A share of Class B Common Stock may be voluntarily converted into a share of Class A Common Stock. A transfer of a share of Class B Common Stock will result in its automatic conversion into a share of Class A Common Stock upon such transfer, subject to certain exceptions, including that the transfer of a share of Class B Common Stock to another holder of Class B Common Stock will not result in such automatic conversion. Class A Common Stock is not convertible. Other than as to voting and conversion rights, the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have the same rights and preferences and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters.

 

In this offering, we are offering Class A Common Stock. Makena Investment Advisors, LLC, which is beneficially owned by Michael Chermak, our Executive Chairman, and Basestones, Inc. own 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, which amounts to 200,000,000 votes. Prior to the commencement of this offering, there were 10,425,244 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 10,425,244 votes, 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 200,000,000 votes, and no preferred shares outstanding. As a result, out of a total of 10,425,244 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, Makena Investment Advisors, LLC and Basestones, Inc. control approximately 95.0% of the voting power before this offering.

Summary of Risk Factors

 

An investment in our Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section immediately following this offering circular summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report.

 

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

 

Our success depends in large part on the continuing efforts of a few individuals and our ability to attract, retain and motivate new personnel to expand our operations.

 

If we are unable to maintain, train and build an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully.

 

We will require additional financing to accomplish our business strategy.

 

Our success depends on the reception by market for our technology products.

 

We face significant competition.

 

If we do not build brand awareness and brand loyalty, our business may suffer.

 

Supply limitations may adversely affect our operations.

 

If we fail to develop or protect its intellectual property adequately, our business could suffer.

 

Our products could become obsolete.

 

Our initial product introductions could result in increased costs in the future.

 

We may face risks associated with our use of certain artificial intelligence and machine learning models.

 

Our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems.

 

Current and future legal action would cause our costs to increase.

 

COVID-19 or another pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease may cause a material adverse effect on our business.

 

 

9

 

 

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

We are subject to governmental regulations, which can change, and any failure to comply with these regulations may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of our products, in addition to laws and governmental regulations that may be adopted in the future.

 

Failures, or perceived failures, to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security requirements in the variety of jurisdictions in which we operate may adversely impact our business, and such legal requirements are evolving, uncertain and may require improvements in, or changes to, our policies and operations.

 

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock

 

Our dual class voting structure has the effect of concentrating the voting control to holders of our Class B Common Stock, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, and your interests may conflict with the interests of these stockholders. It may also adversely affect the trading market for our Class A Common Stock due to exclusion from certain stock market indices.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB, which may limit the liquidity and price of our securities and make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

We have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and our use of the offering proceeds may not yield a favorable return on your investment. Additionally, we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree or in the most effective way.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

Boustead Securities, one of the Lead Selling Agents, owned approximately 9.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company prior to commencement of this offering. This ownership interest in our company creates a conflict of interest with the interests of investors in this offering in that Boustead Securities will benefit through ownership of our shares if the offering is consummated.

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 contained in the subscription package, before purchasing our securities. We have listed below (not necessarily in order of importance or probability of occurrence) what we believe to be the most significant risk factors applicable to us, but they do not constitute all of the risks that may be applicable to us. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this offering circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

 

The Company is an early, startup stage entity with limited operating history. The Company only had nominal cash as of the date of commencement of this offering. The revenue and income potential of the Company’s business and market are unproven. This makes an evaluation of the Company and its prospects difficult and highly speculative. There can be no assurances that: (a) the Company will be able to develop products or services on a timely and cost effective basis; (b) the Company will be able to generate any increase in revenues; (c) the Company will have adequate financing or resources to continue operating its business and to provide services to customers; (d) the Company will earn a profit; (e) the Company can raise sufficient capital to support operations by attaining profitability; or (f) the Company can satisfy future liabilities.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report.

 

We had minimal cash as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and had net losses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. While we had cash of $396,870 and $2,267,956 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we had revenue of $137,646 and $42,241 and a net loss of $10,295,846 and $5,921,731 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We will seek to fund our operations through securities offerings, including this offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would impact our going concern status and would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through this offering and through private placement offerings are discussed elsewhere in this offering circular. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise sufficient capital will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this offering circular do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate this offering or our inability to continue as a going concern.

 

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

 

The planned growth of our commercial operations may place a significant strain on our management and on our operational and financial resources and systems. To manage growth effectively, we will need to maintain a system of management controls, and attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train and manage management-level and other employees. Failure to manage our growth effectively could cause us to over-invest or under-invest in infrastructure, and result in losses or weaknesses in our infrastructure, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Any failure by us to manage our growth effectively could have a negative effect on our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals and strategies.

 

Our success depends in large part on the continuing efforts of a few individuals and our ability to attract, retain and motivate new personnel to expand our operations.

 

We depend substantially on the continued services and performance of our existing management team and there is no guarantee that they will continue to be employed by us in the future. The loss of services of any of our non-long term current management team could hurt our business and our financial condition, and results of operations could suffer. Our success also will depend on our ability to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing, and business development personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. If we fail to successfully attract, assimilate and retain a sufficient number of qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing, business development and administrative personnel, our ability to manage, maintain and expand our business could suffer.

 

11

 

If we are unable to maintain, train and build an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully.

 

As we grow, we may not be able to secure sales personnel or organizations that are adequate in number or expertise to successfully market and sell our brand and products on a global scale. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capability, train our sales force effectively or provide any other capabilities necessary to commercialize our brand, we will need to contract with third parties to market and sell our brand. If we are unable to establish and maintain compliant and adequate sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to increase our revenue, may generate increased expenses, and may not continue to be profitable.

 

We will require additional financing to accomplish our business strategy.

 

We require substantial working capital to fund our business development plans, and we expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations for at least the next six (6) to eighteen (18) months. Depending upon sales volume generated by our business during that time, we also anticipate the possibility of having to raise additional funds in order to achieve our plans and accomplish our immediate and longer-term business strategy. These additional funds likely will be raised through the issuance of Company’s securities in debt and/or equity financings. If we are unable to raise these additional funds on terms acceptable to us, we will be required to limit our expenditures for continuing our product development activities and expanding our sales and marketing operations, reduce our work force, or find alternatives to fund our business on terms that are not as favorable to the Company. Any such actions would impair our product development and expansion plans, reduce potential revenues, increase operating losses, and adversely affect the value of the Company.

 

Our success depends on the reception by market for our technology products.

 

Our ability to generate revenues will depend significantly on our ability to attract a sufficient number of users of the Company’s VAST products. If we are unable to successfully market our products to our target markets and gain a sufficient number of users, any future revenues will be significantly impacted. In addition, any factors adversely affecting the demand for, or market acceptance of, our products could materially reduce our revenues and result in adverse market perceptions of our Company and its products.

 

We face significant competition.

 

We believe that our success will depend heavily upon achieving market acceptance of our products before our competitors introduce more advanced competing products. Current and new competitors, however, may be able to develop and introduce better or more desirable products in advance of us or at a lower cost. In addition, some of our current and potential competitors have longer and/or more established operating histories, greater industry experience, greater name recognition, established customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. To be competitive, we must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change, evolving standards and regulations, and our competitors’ innovations by continually working to improve the design of our products, enhancing our products, as well as improving and increasing our marketing and distribution channels. Increased competition could result in a decrease in the desirability of our products, a decrease in the use of our products by customers, loss of market share and brand recognition, and a reduction in the projected revenues from our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive pressures faced by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

If we do not build brand awareness and brand loyalty, our business may suffer.

 

Due in part to the substantial resources available to many of our competitors, our opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant market share may be limited. The importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. Successfully promoting and positioning of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, our ability to offer reliable and desirable products at competitive rates, and customer perceptions of the value of our products. If our planned marketing efforts are ineffective or if customer perceptions change, we may need to increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand awareness and loyalty among customers, which could divert financial and management resources from other aspects of our business or cause our operating expenses to increase disproportionately to our revenues. This would cause our business and operating results to suffer.

 

12

 

Supply limitations may adversely affect our operations.

 

Our business strategy depends, to a significant extent, on the availability of relatively stable prices for costs of creative and technical contract workers used in the design, update and creation of our products. As a small company, we may not have much leverage in dealing with these third parties with respect to timeliness of delivery, costs, or quality or quantity of supplies or services. Our inability to acquire quality supplies or services in sufficient quantity and/or on a timely and/or cost-effective basis could materially adversely affect our financial performance.

 

If we fail to develop or protect its intellectual property adequately, our business could suffer.

 

We have attempted, and may attempt, to develop certain intellectual property of our own, but cannot assure that we will be able to obtain exclusive rights in trade secrets, patents, trademark registrations and copyright registrations. At this time, we are unsure of what types of intellectual property might be developed. The cost of developing, applying for and obtaining such enforceable rights is expensive. Even after such enforceable rights are obtained, there are significant costs for maintaining and enforcing them. We may lack the resources to put in place exclusive protection and enforcement efforts. Our failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of its intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we were to develop intellectual property, we may seek to enforce its intellectual property rights on others through litigation. Our claims, even if meritorious, may be found invalid or inapplicable to a party we believe infringes or has misappropriated its intellectual property rights. In addition, litigation can:

 

be expensive and time consuming to prosecute or defend;

 

result in a finding that we do not have certain intellectual property rights or that such rights lack sufficient scope or strength;

 

divert management’s attention and resources; or

 

require us to license its intellectual property.

 

The Company cannot be certain of the outcome of any litigation. Any royalty or licensing agreement, if required, may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. The Company’s failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could prevent the development or distribution of the Company’s products and services and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

We may rely on trademarks or service marks to establish a market identity for its products or services. To maintain the value of our trademarks or service marks, we might have to file lawsuits against third parties to prevent them from using marks confusingly similar to or dilutive of our registered or unregistered trademarks or service marks. We also might not obtain registrations for its pending or future trademark or service marks applications, and might have to defend its registered trademark or service marks and pending applications from challenge by third parties. Enforcing or defending our registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks might result in significant litigation costs and damages, including the inability to continue using certain marks.

 

The laws of foreign countries in which we may contemplate doing business in the future may not recognize intellectual property rights or protect them to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Adverse determinations in a judicial or administrative proceeding could prevent us from offering or providing its products or services or prevent us from stopping others from offering or providing competing services, and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our products could become obsolete.

 

Technological obsolescence of our technologies and products is always a possibility. There is no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing related products using similar processes and marketing strategies, or that they will not develop technologies and products that are more effective than any which we are developing or will develop. Our ability to compete will depend on the continued timely enhancement and development of technologies and products. There is no assurance that we will be able to keep pace with technological developments or that our products will not become obsolete.

 

13

 

Our initial product introductions could result in increased costs in the future.

 

Because we are still in the initial phase of introducing our initial VAST products to the market, we do not know whether there will be design defects or problems with programming, which we are not currently aware of but which could be identified by our customers, which problems could delay future sales, or result in product redesign, recall or repair, and, ultimately, loss of market share, and any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

 

We may face risks associated with our use of certain artificial intelligence and machine learning models.

 

Our business utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to add AI-based applications to our products and to drive efficiencies in our business. As with many technological innovations, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. Our products and services utilize machine learning algorithms, predictive analytics, and other artificial intelligence technologies. If these artificial intelligence or machine learning models are incorrectly designed, the performance of our products, services, and business, as well as our reputation, could suffer or we could incur liability through the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party.

 

Additionally, we are making, and plan to make in the future, investments in adopting artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies across our business. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and we face significant competition from other companies in our industry as well as an evolving regulatory landscape. These efforts, including the introduction of new products or changes to existing products, may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. Changes to existing regulations, their interpretation or implementation or new regulations could impede our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, and also may increase our estimated costs in this area. In addition, market acceptance of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies is uncertain, and we may be unsuccessful in our product development efforts. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems.

 

Our business is highly dependent on maintaining effective information systems as well as the integrity and timeliness of the data we use to serve our customers, support them and operate our business. Because of the large amount of data that we collect and manage, it is possible that hardware or software failures or errors in our systems could result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that we collect to be incomplete or contain significant inaccuracies. If our data were found to be inaccurate or unreliable due to fraud or other error, or if we, or any of the third-party service providers we engage, were to fail to maintain information systems and data integrity effectively, we could experience operational disruptions that may impact our participants and providers and hinder our ability to provide services, retain and attract participants, manage our participant risk profiles, establish reserves, report financial results timely and accurately and maintain regulatory compliance, among other things.

 

Current and future legal action would cause our costs to increase.

 

There are presently no legal actions pending against the Company or to which it or any of its property are subject, nor to its knowledge are any such proceedings contemplated. However, any legal action in the future will result costs of defense that would be variable and would be expected to increase as compared to historic legal expenses incurred by the Company. Additionally, the Company anticipates a general increase in legal counsel cost going forward due to the increased compliance costs of the legal work that may be necessary for implementing the Company’s business plan of expansion.

 

14

 

COVID-19 or another pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease may cause a material adverse effect on our business.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide.

 

The spread of COVID-19 has adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in a significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity. The global deterioration in economic conditions, which may have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending or investing, could also impact our business and demand for our services. For instance, consumer spending and investing may be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions, including a rise in unemployment, and decreased consumer confidence resulting from the pandemic. Changing consumer and investor behaviors as a result of the pandemic may also have a material impact on our revenue.

 

As a result of a resurgence in COVID-19, or another pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease, our business could be subject to additional governmental regulations, including updated COVID-19 protocols, which could have a material impact on our business.

 

We expect that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could require us to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. We may also experience limitations in employee resources. In addition, our operations could be disrupted if any of our employees were suspected of having COVID-19 or another infectious disease, which could require quarantine of some or all such employees or closure of our facilities for disinfection. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 or another pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this offering circular, including the effectiveness of vaccines and other treatments, and other new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. To the extent COVID-19 or another pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

 

Adverse market, economic and political conditions, including the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, recent events in the Middle East, recent trade disputes and other events or circumstances beyond our control could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Another economic or financial crisis or rapid decline of the consumer economy, significant concerns over energy costs, geopolitical issues, including the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, recent events in the Middle East, recent trade disputes between the U.S. and other countries resulting in the imposition of increased tariffs on products imported into the U.S., and the availability and cost of credit can contribute to increased volatility, diminished expectations for the economy and the markets, and high levels of structural unemployment by historical standards. Market, political and economic challenges, including dislocations and volatility in the credit markets, general global economic uncertainty, uncertainty or volatility from matters such as the implementation of the governing agenda of President Donald J. Trump, and changes in governmental policy on a variety of matters such as trade, tariffs and manufacturing policies may adversely affect the economy and financial markets, our financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our shares.

 

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

We are subject to governmental regulations, which can change, and any failure to comply with these regulations may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We are subject to substantial governmental regulations affecting our business. These include, but are not limited to, data privacy and protection laws, regulations, policies and contractual obligations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage, processing and use of personal information or personal data, which among other things, impose certain requirements relating to the privacy and security of personal information. The variety of laws and regulations governing data privacy and protection, and the use of the internet as a commercial medium are rapidly evolving, extensive, and complex, and may include provisions and obligations that are inconsistent with one another or uncertain in their scope or application.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we might collect and store in our internal and external data centers, cloud services and networks sensitive data, including our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business collaborators, as well as personal information of our customers and employees. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. The number and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions that companies have experienced from third parties has increased over the past few years. Despite our security measures, it is impossible for us to eliminate this risk. 

 

15

 

A number of U.S. states have enacted data privacy and security laws and regulations that govern the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, storage, disposal, and protection of personal information, such as social security numbers, financial information and other sensitive personal information. For example, all 50 states and several U.S. territories now have data breach laws that require timely notification to affected individuals, and at times regulators, credit reporting agencies and other bodies, if a company has experienced the unauthorized access or acquisition of certain personal information. Other state laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, or the CCPA, among other things, contain disclosure obligations for businesses that collect personal information about residents in their state and affords those individuals new rights relating to their personal information that may affect our ability to collect and/or use personal information. Effective January 1, 2023, we will also become subject to the California Privacy Rights Act, which expands upon the consumer data use restrictions, penalties and enforcement provisions under the CCPA, and Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act, another comprehensive data privacy law. Effective July 1, 2023, we became subject to the Colorado Privacy Act and Connecticut’s An Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring, which are also comprehensive consumer privacy laws. Effective December 31, 2023, we became subject to the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, regarding business handling of consumers’ personal data. Further, there are several legislative proposals in the United States, at both the federal and state level, that could impose new privacy and security obligations. We cannot yet determine the impact that these future laws and regulations may have on our business.

 

New and evolving regulations and compliance standards for cybersecurity, data protection, privacy, and internal IT controls are often created in response to a major cyberattack and will increasingly impact organizations like our company. The fear of non-compliance, failed audits, and material findings may compel us to spend more to ensure we are in compliance, which may result in costly, one-off implementations to mitigate potential fines or reputational damage. The high costs associated with failing to meet regulatory requirements, combined with the risk of fallout from security breaches, has elevated this topic from the IT organization to the executive and board level. We may therefore spend additional time and money ensuring we will meet possible or unforeseeable future data protection regulations. 

 

Our business is, and may in the future be, subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including working conditions, labor, immigration and employment laws, and health, safety and sanitation requirements. We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any potential legislative or regulatory proposals on our business. Any changes to the legal and regulatory framework applicable to our business could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

 

Our failure to comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations, or to maintain necessary permits or licenses, could result in liability that could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Our business may be materially impacted by government actions taken in response to COVID-19 or another pandemic. See “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—COVID-19 or another pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease may cause a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of our products, in addition to laws and governmental regulations that may be adopted in the future.

 

We manufacture and sell products that contain electronic components, and such components may contain materials that are subject to government regulation in both the locations where we develop, manufacture and assemble our products, as well as the locations where we sell our products. In addition, chipset solution technology is subject to considerable regulatory uncertainty as the law evolves to catch up with the rapidly evolving nature of the technology itself, all of which are beyond our control.

 

The industry may become subject to increased legislation and regulation. Further, the legislation or regulations in different countries may impose different standards, which may be conflicting. Any legislation or regulations which impose standards, or which impose liability is likely to increase our manufacturing cost as well as the cost of compliance. Among other things, certain applicable laws and regulations require or may in the future require the submission of annual reports to the certain governmental agencies certifying that such products comply with applicable performance standards, the maintenance of manufacturing, testing, and distribution records, and the reporting of certain product defects to such regulatory agency or consumers. If our products fail to comply with applicable regulations, we and/or our products could be subjected to a variety of enforcement actions or sanctions, such as product recalls, repairs or replacements, warning letters, untitled letters, safety alerts, injunctions, import alerts, administrative product detentions or seizures, or civil penalties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Failures, or perceived failures, to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security requirements in the variety of jurisdictions in which we operate may adversely impact our business, and such legal requirements are evolving, uncertain and may require improvements in, or changes to, our policies and operations.

 

Our current and potential future operations and sales subject us to laws and regulations addressing privacy and the collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer and protection of a variety of types of data. For example, the European Commission has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation and California recently enacted the CCPA, both of which provide for potentially material penalties for non- compliance. These regulations may, among other things, impose data security requirements, disclosure requirements, and restrictions on data collection, uses, and sharing that may impact our operations and the development of our business. While, generally, we do not have access to, collect, store, process, or share information collected by its solutions unless its customers choose to proactively provide such information to it, our products may evolve both to address potential customer requirements or to add new features and functionality. Therefore, the full impact of these privacy regimes on our business is rapidly evolving across jurisdictions and remains uncertain at this time.

 

We may also be affected by cyberattacks and other means of gaining unauthorized access to its products, systems, and data. For instance, cyber criminals or insiders may target us or third parties with which it has business relationships in an effort to harm them or their proper use, or the data stored in them, resulting in direct and indirect damages, including disruption, interruption or severance of operations, ransomware, leaks and data loss, theft of property, espionage, harm to reputation, harm to public trust and rehabilitation expenses. We work to prevent and reduce exposure to the risk of cyberattacks, with strategies including use of information security systems, assimilation of a culture of data security (including training for managers and employees), refinement and adjustment of procedures, internal control programs, and auditing and support with the assistance of experts in the field.

 

Our operations are rich in technology and computing and may be exposed to risks related to the stability of the information systems, their compatibility with the scope of its operations, information security, technical failures, overload of system servers and the like. Impairment of the stability of computer systems and inability on our part to return our systems to normal operation within a reasonable timeframe, or the lack of technological ability to meet commitments or the expectations of potential customers and strategic partners, may damage our reputation and harm our business outcomes.

 

We are assessing the continually evolving privacy and data security regimes and measures it believes are appropriate in response. Since these data security regimes are evolving, uncertain and complex, especially for a global business like ours, it may need to update or enhance its compliance measures as its products, markets and customer demands further develop and these updates or enhancements may require implementation costs. The compliance measures we adopt may prove ineffective. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with current and future regulatory or customer-driven privacy, data protection, and information security requirements, or to prevent or mitigate security breaches, cyberattacks, or improper access to, use of, or disclosure of data, or any security issues or cyberattacks affecting us, could result in significant liability, costs (including the costs of mitigation and recovery), and a material loss of revenue resulting from the adverse impact on its reputation and brand, loss of proprietary information and data, disruption to its business and relationships, and diminished ability to retain or attract customers and business partners. Such events may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity, and could cause customers and business partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.

 

Industry and other market data used in this offering circular or in periodic reports that we may in the future file with the SEC, including those undertaken by us or our engaged consultants, may not prove to be representative of current and future market conditions or future results.

 

This offering circular includes or refers to, and periodic reports that we may in the future file with the SEC may include or refer to, statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties and surveys and studies that we undertook ourselves regarding the market potential for our current services.

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock

 

Our dual class voting structure has the effect of concentrating the voting control to holders of our Class B Common Stock, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, and your interests may conflict with the interests of these stockholders.

 

We adopted a dual class voting structure such that our ordinary shares consist of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and we are authorized to issue any number of classes of preferred shares. Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on proposals requiring or requesting stockholder approval, and Class B Common Stock is entitled to one hundred votes on any such matter. In this offering, we are offering Class A Common Stock. Makena Investment Advisors, LLC, which is beneficially owned by Michael Chermak, our Executive Chairman, and Basestones, Inc. own 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, which amounts to 200,000,000 votes. Prior to the commencement of this offering, there were 10,425,244 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 10,425,244 votes, 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 200,000,000 votes, and no preferred shares outstanding. As a result, out of a total of 10,425,244 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock representing total voting power of 210,425,244 votes, Makena Investment Advisors, LLC and Basestones, Inc. control approximately 95.0% of the voting power before this offering.

 

Following this offering, taking into consideration the Class A Common Stock expected to be offered hereby, even if 100% of such shares are sold, Makena Investment Advisors, LLC and Basestones, Inc. will retain controlling voting power in the Company based on having approximately 93.8% of the combined voting power of our outstanding Class A Common Stock. Makena Investment Advisors, LLC and Basestones, Inc. will have the ability to control the outcome of most matters requiring stockholder approval, including:

 

the election of our board of directors and, through our board, decision making with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers;

 

mergers, de-mergers and other significant corporate transactions;

 

changes to our constitution; and

 

our capital structure.

 

This voting control and influence may discourage transactions involving a change of control of the Company, including transactions in which you, as a holder of our Class A Common Stock, might otherwise receive a premium for your shares.

 

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our Units may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

 

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for our Units is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our board of directors has determined the offering price in its sole discretion. The fixed offering price for our Units has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for our units may not be supported by the current value of our company or our assets at any particular time.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB, which may limit the liquidity and price of our securities and make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is currently quoted on OTCQB, which is a significantly less liquid and more volatile market than a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE or Nasdaq. Quotation on OTCQB does not impose the same quantitative or corporate governance standards required for listing on a national exchange. As a result, investors may find it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations and pricing for our Class A Common Stock, and trading volume may be limited. This reduced liquidity may also make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares at desired prices or within the timeframe they prefer. Furthermore, because our shares are traded on an over-the-counter market, broker-dealers may be less willing to make a market in our shares, which may also negatively impact the market price and liquidity of our Class A Common Stock. Additionally, continued eligibility for quotation on OTCQB is subject to our compliance with certain ongoing requirements, including timely financial reporting and minimum bid price standards. If we fail to maintain compliance, we could be delisted, which could further impair liquidity and marketability of our securities and potentially increase the volatility of our share price.

 

We have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and our use of the offering proceeds may not yield a favorable return on your investment. Additionally, we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree or in the most effective way.

 

Our board of directors will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds.” Based on unforeseen technical, commercial or regulatory issues, we could spend the proceeds in ways with which you may not agree. Moreover, the proceeds may not be invested effectively or in a manner that yields a favorable or any return, and consequently, this could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will utilize the net proceeds in a manner that enhances value of the Company. If the Company fails to spend the proceeds effectively, the Company’s business and financial condition could be harmed, and there may be the need to seek additional financing sooner than expected.

 

18

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their Class A Common Stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our Class A Common Stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

 

Boustead Securities, one of the Lead Selling Agents, owned approximately 9.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company prior to commencement of this offering. This ownership interest in our company creates a conflict of interest with the interests of investors in this offering in that Boustead Securities will benefit through ownership of our shares if the offering is consummated.

 

Boustead Securities owns 1,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, or approximately 9.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company prior to commencement of this offering. Since Boustead Securities owns a material amount of shares of Class A Common Stock of our company, they will benefit if our company successfully raises capital. One way that Boustead Securities will benefit is that the book value of the shares of our Class A Common Stock held by Boustead Securities will increase as a result of the offering especially given that Boustead Securities only paid a nominal price for their shares of our Class A Common Stock and the fair market value of their holdings of our shares will also increase since the price at which securities are being sold in this offering is significantly higher than the price paid by Boustead Securities. As one of the Lead Selling Agents for the offering, Boustead Securities must undertake a due diligence investigation of our company, negotiate the offering price of the securities being sold in this offering with our company and undertake other actions designed to protect investors in this offering. Given the conflict of interest resulting from ownership of our shares by Boustead Securities, there is a risk that they may serve their own interests to the detriment of the interests of investors in this offering. 

  

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, including purchasers of Class A Common Stock in this offering or restrict our operations.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity and/or debt financings and collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of Class A Common Stock.

 

To the extent that we raise additional capital through debt financing, it would result in increased fixed payment obligations and a portion of our operating cash flows, if any, being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. In addition, debt financing may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that impose operating restrictions, such as restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, the making of certain capital expenditures or the declaration of dividends.

 

19

 

We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Class A Common Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the value of our Class A Common Stock.

 

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets before distributions to our stockholders. In addition, any preferred stock, if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.

 

Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Class A Common Stock and diluting your interest in our company.

 

This offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis without a minimum and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy if the maximum amount of Units is not sold.

 

If you purchase our Units and less than all of the offered Units are sold, the risk of losing your entire investment will be increased. We are offering our Units on a “best efforts” basis without a minimum, and we can give no assurance that all of the offered Units will be sold. If less than the maximum number of Units offered is sold, we may be unable to fund all the intended uses described in this offering circular from the net proceeds anticipated from this offering without obtaining funds from alternative sources or using working capital that we generate. Alternative sources of funding may not be available to us at what we consider to be a reasonable cost, and the working capital generated by us may not be sufficient to fund any uses not financed by offering net proceeds. No assurance can be given to you that any funds will be invested in this offering other than your own.

 

We are not required to raise any minimum amount in this offering before we may utilize the funds received in this offering. Investors should be aware that there is no assurance that any monies beside their own will be invested in this offering.

 

Because there is no minimum amount of subscriptions which we must receive before accepting funds in the offering, you will not be assured that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or satisfy its working capital requirements and will bear the risk that we will be unable to secure the funds necessary to meet our current and anticipated financial obligations.

 

We may terminate this offering at any time during the offering period.

 

We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time, regardless of the number of shares sold. In the event that we terminate this offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the shares offered hereby, whatever amount of capital that we have raised at that time will have already been utilized by our company and no funds will be returned to subscribers.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The table below sets forth the estimated net proceeds we expect to receive from this offering, assuming the sale of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the Units and based on an offering price of $3.50 per Unit.

 

   25%   50%   75%   100% 
Units sold   714,286    1,428,571    2,142,857    2,857,142 
Gross proceeds  $2,500,001   $4,999,999   $7,500,000   $9,999,997 
Offering expenses  $651,250   $832,500   $1,013,750   $1,195,000 
Net proceeds  $1,848,751   $4,167,499   $6,486,250   $8,804,997 

 

We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

 

   Offer of
714,286
Units
(25%)
   Offer of
1,428,571
Units
(50%)
   Offer of
2,142,857
Shares
(75%)
   Offer of
2,857,142

(100%)
 
Product development (20%)  $369,750   $833,500   $1,297,250   $1,760,999 
Research and development (20%)  $369,750   $833,500   $1,297,250   $1,760,999

Working capital and general corporate (20%)  $369,750   $833,500   $1,297,250   $1,760,999 
Total  $1,848,751   $4,167,499   $6,486,250   $8,804,997 

 

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed offering price of $3.50 per Unit would increase or decrease the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $2.6 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this offering circular, remains the same and after deducting the estimated selling agent commissions payable by us.

 

The foregoing represents our current intentions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering based upon our present plans and business conditions. Our management, however, will have broad discretion in the way that we use the net proceeds of this offering. Pending the final application of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock — We have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and our use of the offering proceeds may not yield a favorable return on your investment. Additionally, we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree or in the most effective way.

 

22

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that will restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock We have never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

DILUTION

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors is the amount by which the offering price paid by the purchasers of the shares of our Class A Common Stock sold in this offering exceeds the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined at any date by subtracting our total liabilities from the total book value of our tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be outstanding at that date.

 

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2024, was approximately $(453,429), or approximately $(0.04) per share of Class A Common Stock (which includes shares sold in this offering as of December 31, 2024).

 

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our Class A Common Stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock immediately after completion of this offering. Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate, substantial dilution. The following table illustrates dilution after giving effect to (i) the issuance of 404,274 shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of private placement warrants, and (ii) our sale of up to an additional 2,757,955 shares of our Class A Common Stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $3.50 per Unit.

 

Offering price per Unit  $3.50 
Historical net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2024  $(0.04)
Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock to existing stockholders  $0.74 
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock after this offering  $0.70 
Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering  $2.80 

 

The following table sets forth the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock previously issued and sold to existing investors, the total consideration paid for the foregoing and the average price per share of Class A Common Stock paid, or to be paid, by existing owners and by the new investors. The calculation below is based on the assumed offering price of $3.50 per Unit, before deducting estimated selling agent commissions and offering expenses, in each case payable by us.

 

   Shares Purchased   Total Consideration  

Average

Price

 
   Number   Percent   Amount   Percent  

Per Share

 
Existing shareholders   12,479,431    81.9%  $7,710,280    44.4%  $0.62 
New investors   2,757,955    18.1%  $9,652,843    55.6%  $3.50 
Total   15,237,386    100.0%  $17,363,123    100.0%  $1.14 

 

The outstanding share information in the table above is based on 10,479,431 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024, and excludes:

 

5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that are reserved for issuance under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2022 Plan;

 

211,015 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of placement agent’s warrants;

 

2,825,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of private placement warrants;

 

922,500 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued for services;

 

up to 2,857,142 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants to be issued to investors in this offering; and

 

up to 285,714 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to be issued to the Lead Selling Agents in connection with this offering.

 

To the extent that any outstanding options or warrants are exercised, new options, restricted stock units or other securities are issued under our stock-based compensation plans, or new shares of preferred stock are issued, or we issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this offering circular. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this offering circular, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

 

Overview

 

RMX is a technology company focusing on developing, marketing, and delivering video-compression-based software and hardware products, built on our proprietary and patented Video Assured Secure Transmission (VAST) video compression coding and decoding algorithms and methodologies. Our primary business focus is the development and delivery of resilient and secure internet communications technologies (ICTs) that enhance customer experiences with high-quality and low-latency video. Our core product line of video encoder appliances and virtual management appliances are designed to function in austere, industrial, and virtual environments to deliver highly reliable streaming video and situational awareness, with wieldiness and ease of use for non-technical customers. Our goal is to deliver unquestionably secure video content at the highest possible quality to meet customers’ needs for trustworthy and verifiable high-definition video.

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our operations experienced changes in revenue, expenses, and net loss. This section discusses our financial condition and results of operations, focusing on key drivers of performance and areas requiring further explanation.

 

Our Historical Performance

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While we had cash of $396,870 and $2,267,956 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we had revenue of $137,646 and $42,241 and a net loss of $10,295,846 and $5,921,731 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We estimate that we will be able to conduct our planned operations using currently available capital resources for the next two months. We will seek to fund our operations through securities offerings, including this offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. However, the Company may not be able to raise adequate funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements from capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all. Advances from an officer or stockholder may likewise be unavailable. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed and generate significantly higher revenues than operating expenses to achieve profitability would impact its going concern status and would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy and continue as a going concern. For further discussion, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern”.

 

Recent Developments

 

On January 1, 2025, we issued stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 88,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, at an exercise price of $3.50, under the 2022 Plan, to three of our employees.

Pursuant to the agreements, we sold 32 units at a price of $25,000 per unit for gross proceeds of $800,000.

On January 30, 2025, February 27, 2025, and March 27, 2025, we conducted closings of our Regulation A offering, pursuant to which we sold 37,548 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our Class A Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our Class A Common Stock, at a price of $3.50 per unit, for gross proceeds of $131,418. We issued Boustead Securities and Digital Offering, who are acting as the Lead Selling Agents, five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,876 shares of Class A Common Stock, exercisable on a cashless basis, with an exercise price of $4.375 per share, subject to adjustment.

Pursuant to the agreement, we sold 20 units at a price of $25,000 per unit for gross proceeds of $500,000.

 

On April 15, 2025, we entered into a share exchange agreement with RMX Industries Inc. and its shareholders, pursuant to which we issued 8,555,393 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the shareholders’ shares resulting in RMX Industries Inc. becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. From our founding, we have been a highly efficient remote-first company, which has been able to continue to function as normal even with pandemic-related stay at home orders and other regulations. We have also exploited certain trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its acceleration of global growth in virtual services. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The resulting global deterioration in economic conditions and financial volatility may have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending or investing, could also impact our business and demand for our services.

 

Although COVID-19 has not impacted our business, the extent to which COVID-19 or another pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this offering circular, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See also “Risk Factors – COVID-19 or another pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease may cause a material adverse effect on our business” above.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

 

our ability to acquire new customers and users or retain existing customers and users;

 

our ability to offer competitive pricing;

 

our ability to broaden product or service offerings;

 

industry demand and competition;

 

our ability to leverage technology and use and develop efficient processes;

 

our ability to attract and retain talented employees and contractors; and

 

market conditions and our market position.

Emerging Growth Company

 

Regulation A provides that a filer can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same adoption period for new or revised accounting standards as public companies.

 

Upon the completion of this Offering, we may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. As defined in the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is defined as a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

 

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

 

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

If we are required to publicly report under the Exchange Act as an “emerging growth company”, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, though if the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company.

 

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

Revenue

 

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $137,646 and was due to sale of services and software related to video compression technology. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $42,241 and was due to the assembly and testing of antennas for a customer.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our total operating expenses of $10,042,045 for the year ended December 31, 2024 were mainly due to employee compensation including options, research and development expenses, marketing expenses and professional services provided to the Company. Our total operating expenses of $5,957,364 for the year ended December 31, 2023 were mainly due to research and development expenses, payroll compensation and benefits, marketing expenses, and professional services provided to the Company.

 

Loss From Operations

 

Our loss from operations of $9,941,185 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was mainly due to employee compensation including options, research and development expenses, marketing expenses and professional services provided to the Company. Our loss from operations of $5,928,925 for the year ended December 31, 2023 was mainly due to research and development expenses, payroll compensation and benefits, marketing expenses, and professional services provided to the Company.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss of $10,295,846 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was mainly due to employee compensation including options, research and development expenses, marketing expenses and professional services provided to the Company. Our net loss of $5,921,731 for the year ended December 31, 2023 was mainly due to research and development expenses, payroll compensation and benefits, marketing expenses, and professional services provided to the Company.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had a consolidated cash balance of $396,870. As of December 31, 2023, we had a consolidated cash balance of $2,267,956. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from sales of our securities.

 

Management has prepared estimates of operations and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations and equity financings to fund our operations and to service our debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. Since January 2025, we have raised $1,431,418 in private placements of units and through our Regulation A offering. If we are unable to raise the additional funds, our currently available cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next two months. In the future, we may require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which we are expected to be able to realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

28

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. While we had cash of $396,870 and $2,267,956 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we had revenue of $137,646 and $42,241 and a net loss of $10,295,846 and $5,921,731 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through securities offerings, including this offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

However, the sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

 

Debt

 

As of the date of this offering circular, we have not incurred any debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this offering circular, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. They have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period when an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) or the straight-line attribution method. Under 718-10-30-20D the determination of whether a valuation method is reasonable, or whether an application of a valuation method is reasonable, shall be made based on the facts and circumstances as of the measurement date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company had revenue of $137,646 and $42,241 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

No federal income taxes were owed for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

RMX is a technology company focusing on developing, marketing, and delivering video-compression-based software and hardware products, built on our proprietary and patented Video Adaptive Systems Technology (VAST) video compression technology. We are working to pioneer the future of tactical video communication through our flagship VAST product. Our proprietary AV1-based video encoding technology enables high-quality video streaming over ultra-low bandwidth connections, making video possible where it was previously impossible. Our strategic goal is to establish VAST as the default tactical encoder and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) solution for defense and government operations worldwide.

 

Our primary business focus is the development and delivery of resilient compression technologies that enhance customer experiences with high-quality and low-latency video. Military and government organizations face an increasingly data-hungry operational landscape where video intelligence is critical, yet existing communication networks severely limit video capabilities. From our experience and understanding, tactical radio communication bands have been primarily voice-based and were considered unsuitable for video transmission, creating operational gaps in mission-critical scenarios.

 

This challenge is now expanding beyond defense as the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technologies creates an exponential surge in demand for video data and video compression across all sectors. Current networks and infrastructure were simply not designed for this scale of data movement, creating a looming crisis in bandwidth, storage, and power consumption. We plan to initially expand into the telecommunications, mining and medical sectors.

 

RMX achieved several key milestones in 2024, including successful quotation on OTCQB under the symbol “RMXI” in November 2024 with trading beginning in January 2025. Looking ahead, we aim to uplist to a senior exchange in 2025 while expanding our market penetration through strategic partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Our Historical Performance

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While we had cash of $396,870 and $2,267,956 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we had revenue of $137,646 and $42,241 and a net loss of $10,295,846 and $5,921,731 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We estimate that we will be able to conduct our planned operations using currently available capital resources for the next two months. We will seek to fund our operations through securities offerings, including this offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. However, the Company may not be able to raise adequate funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements from capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all. Advances from an officer or stockholder may likewise be unavailable. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed and generate significantly higher revenues than operating expenses to achieve profitability would impact its going concern status and would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy and continue as a going concern. For further discussion, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern”.

 

Our Industry

 

The demand for robust and widespread connectivity and access to real-time video and data is surging in response to the need for more resilient communications in the face of rising geopolitical threats. We are strategically positioned to influence and shape the defense segment of the global video streaming software market, which is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3% from 2023 to 2028 (ResearchandMarkets.com, Video Streaming Software Market by Component (Solutions, Services), Streaming Type, Deployment Mode, Delivery Channel (Pay-Tv, Internet Protocol Tv, Over-The-Top), Monetization Model, Vertical and Region – Global Forecast to 2028, June 2023). We believe VAST fundamentally reshapes what’s possible in tactical video through its revolutionary software-based approach. Unlike hardware-dependent solutions, VAST can operate on virtually any computing platform while delivering exceptional compression ratios and quality:

 

  HD video streaming at >200 Kbps and SD video at <50 Kbps (as low as 10 Kbps)

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that we have competitive strengths, some of which are discussed below, that position us favorably in each aspect of our business. Our competitive position is built on several fundamental advantages that set VAST apart from all alternatives in the tactical video market:

 

  Low-Latency Simultaneous Multi-Stream Encoding and Decoding. VAST’s low latency encoding reduces the time it takes between recording a video and playing it back. This is accomplished by utilizing our sophisticated compression techniques that enable the video data to be processed and delivered more quickly. This is crucial in scenarios like military operations, video conferencing and live streaming where real-time video is essential. A more fluid and responsive watching experience is achieved by using low latency encoding, which helps to ensure that there is little lag or delay between the video source and the user.

 

  Unmatched Tactical Network Validation. VAST has been validated on every tactical RF band in active military use today, from high-bandwidth KU/KA-band satellite communications to tactical S and L-Band MANET networks, all the way down to HF radio—what we believe is a historical first for video transmission. This comprehensive validation across the entire spectrum of military communications means VAST works reliably in environments where competing solutions have not been shown to function.

 

  Direct Streaming Architecture. Unlike competitors who rely on intermediary servers or gateways, VAST streams directly over any IP-based network, point-to-point or multi-point. This direct streaming architecture eliminates additional hardware requirements, reduces latency, enhances security, and dramatically simplifies deployment in tactical environments. VAST’s ability to function without “man in the middle” infrastructure makes it uniquely suited for austere and denied environments where additional network components represent both vulnerability and logistical burden.

 

  Superior Performance on Low SWaP-C Hardware. VAST’s software-based approach is designed to deliver exceptional performance on minimal hardware, functioning effectively on platforms as modest as Raspberry Pi while competitors require specialized encoders or GPU acceleration. This fundamental efficiency translates directly to reduced SWaP-C—critical considerations in tactical deployments where every ounce and watt matters.

 

  Molecular-Level Pipeline Control. We maintain complete control over every aspect of the capture, encoding, and streaming pipeline at a “molecular level.” This comprehensive control enables us to adapt new features, support emerging standards, and overcome technical challenges with agility that we believe off-the-shelf solutions cannot match. Unlike black-box commercial encoders, VAST can be precisely tailored to the unique requirements of tactical communications, with the flexibility to evolve as mission needs change.

 

  Quality Under Extreme Constraints. Through our advanced AV1 implementation, VAST maintains superior visual quality even at bitrates as low as 10-50 Kbps—conditions where competing solutions have been shown to produce unusable imagery. We believe this capability to deliver actionable video intelligence over severely constrained networks fundamentally changes what’s possible in tactical communications, enabling video streaming over tactical communication bands previously considered unsuitable for video transmission.

 

  Comprehensive Military Standard Support. VAST fully supports military-standard metadata formats, including STANAG/MISB KLV, enabling seamless integration with existing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms. We believe this native compatibility with established military standards eliminates integration barriers while preserving critical mission data alongside video feeds.

 

As validated through extensive field testing with U.S. Special Operations Forces and other military units throughout 2024, VAST doesn’t just improve existing video capabilities—it enables entirely new operational possibilities by making video viable across the full spectrum of tactical communications networks. The Company expects this breakthrough capability to create an entirely new market opportunity beyond simple improvements to existing video solutions.

Our Growth Strategies

 

We have developed a focused, actionable growth strategy centered on establishing VAST as the standard for tactical video in defense and government operations:

 

  U.S. Government Standardization. Our primary path to establishing VAST as the standard for tactical video is through formal Program Executive Office (PEO) acceptance, particularly with major acquisition authorities like PEO Soldier. Rather than pursuing individual unit sales, we are working directly with program offices to position VAST as a GOTS solution. This designation would establish VAST as the standard video encoding platform across the U.S. Department of Defense and partner agencies. We have already secured Authority to Operate (ATO) on U.S. Army networks through PEO Soldier and the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN), laying the groundwork for broader adoption. Our comprehensive Partner and OEM Program, which launched in February 2025, complements this approach by providing system integrators with the tools to integrate VAST within program requirements and specifications. This dual strategy—formal program acceptance combined with a robust partner ecosystem—is designed to ensure VAST becomes embedded in the technical requirements for future programs while enabling immediate deployment through established prime contractors who already have the relationships and contract vehicles to rapidly scale adoption across numerous government programs.

 

  Integration with Existing U.S. Government and Tactical Systems. Our growth strategy prioritizes seamless integration with widely deployed tactical systems and platforms. Key integration initiatives include:

 

  TAK Integration. The Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) has emerged as the default Command and Control (C2) and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) system for warfighters across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and allied forces. Through our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), we are developing native VAST integration within the TAK ecosystem, enabling direct streaming of ultra-low bandwidth video to soldiers’ end devices. This integration will position VAST as a core capability within the most widely deployed situational awareness platform in the tactical environment.

 

  C4ISR Platform Compatibility. We are in the process of establishing working relationships with leading C4ISR platforms including Vidterra Compass, Haivision Kraken, and Sierra Nevada Corporation’s TRAX system. These integrations embed VAST capabilities within established battlefield management systems, extending video capabilities to previously bandwidth-constrained scenarios while maintaining familiar user interfaces for operators.

 

  Remote Vehicle and Sensor Operations. VAST is supporting critical U.S. Army modernization programs including the Optionally Manned Vehicle (OMV) and Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) programs through the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (DEVCOM C5ISR) Center. By enabling reliable video streaming over constrained tactical datalinks, VAST will significantly enhance remote operation capabilities without requiring additional communications infrastructure.

 

  UAS and Munitions Sensor Integration. We are developing direct integration with video sensors deployed on unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and advanced munitions platforms. These integrations will enable operators to maintain high-quality video feeds for target identification and battle damage assessment even in contested electromagnetic environments or at extended operational ranges.

 

  AI Image and Video Collection Systems. VAST’s software-defined architecture supports both human and machine-based video consumption. Our modular design can be modified to support edge AI applications, optimizing video streams specifically for computer vision algorithms while dramatically reducing bandwidth requirements for AI training data collection. With this dual-purpose capability, VAST is poised to become a critical enabler for both human-in-the-loop and autonomous systems.

 

  Metadata Support. VAST fully supports military-standard Key-Length-Value (KLV) metadata (STANAG/MISB), ensuring interoperability with existing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms and maintaining critical mission data alongside video feeds.

 

40

 

These integration initiatives are designed to ensure VAST becomes embedded within the existing and emerging tactical systems ecosystem, driving adoption through compatibility with the platforms soldiers already rely on, while enhancing their capabilities in bandwidth-constrained environments.

 

  Technical Validation Through Field Operations. We have established VAST’s capabilities through an extensive program of field demonstrations and technical evaluations with elite military units. In 2024 alone, we completed 23 successful field and laboratory tests with defense partners, military end users, and foreign military allies, including:

 

  USSOCOM Arctic Warrior exercises demonstrating video streaming in extreme cold-weather environments;

 

  HF radio trials with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), achieving first-ever video terminal conferencing (VTC) streaming over HF radio;

 

  Technical evaluations with the 75th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Fort Benning, validating VAST in tactical field conditions;

 

  Ultra High Frequency (UHF) TACSAT streaming demonstrations, enabling video over previously voice-only satellite channels; and

 

  Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) integration testing, bringing video capability to this next-generation military satellite communications system.

 

In 2025, we are building on these successes with an expanded testing program focused on operational validation with strategic units and commands, including:

 

  Continued integration with Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) elements;

 

  Expanded collaboration with PEO Soldier programs to support formal adoption;

 

  Foreign Military Sales (FMS) partner trials in Colombia and Peru supporting counternarcotics operations; and

 

  Participation in high-profile technical exercises including Tough Stump Rodeo and Cosmic Ram.

 

Each successful demonstration further validates VAST’s performance in authentic operational environments while building relationships with key decision-makers and technical influencers. These exercises provide warfighters direct experience with VAST’s capabilities, which we believe will generate organic demand and advocacy within operational units that ultimately drives formal program adoption.

 

  Research & Development (R&D) Focused on Network Efficiency. Our R&D roadmap is specifically targeted at enhancing VAST’s value proposition in tactical networking environments:

 

  VAST VUDO. Our VAST Unified Data Operations (VUDO) capability will serve as both a flexible solution for video management and the foundation for our TAK integration. VUDO is designed to enhance VAST to function as a complete solution for core C4ISR use cases, integrating video, mapping, and sensor data into a unified operational picture. This development will transform VAST from a video-specific tool into a comprehensive situational awareness platform optimized for disconnected and austere environments.

 

  VADER. This initiative focuses on improving video and data streaming through a novel User Datagram Protocol (UDP) streaming data format that introduces Forward Error Correction (FEC) with minimal bandwidth overhead. VADER represents a potential breakthrough for tactical communications in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) bandwidth environments, enabling reliable video transmission over highly contested or degraded networks while maintaining VAST’s ultra-low bandwidth profile.

 

  Bandwidth AI. We are developing intelligent systems that can automatically configure video pipelines based on network conditions, optimizing for available bandwidth while maintaining critical visual information. This capability will enable VAST to dynamically adapt to changing network conditions without operator intervention, ensuring continuous video delivery even as tactical communications are degraded or intermittent.

 

  Edge Computing Optimization. Our development efforts include tactical Raspberry Pi implementations and advanced U.S. Miliary Standard (MIL-STD) enclosures for VAST’s tactical products with customizable hardware Input/Output (I/O). These ruggedized solutions are designed to bring VAST’s capabilities to the absolute edge of the battlefield while maintaining minimal SWaP-C requirements. This focus on miniaturization and hardening will extend VAST’s operational footprint to individual warfighters, unmanned systems, and forward-deployed sensors.

These R&D initiatives maintain our focus on solving the most challenging video transmission problems in tactical environments while expanding VAST’s capabilities beyond simple video encoding into a comprehensive tactical data platform.

 

  Path to Becoming the GOTS Standard for Tactical Video. Our ultimate strategic objective is for VAST to be designated as the GOTS solution for tactical video across the DoD and allied forces. We are executing a deliberate pathway toward this goal through:

 

  GOTS Designation Initiative. We are actively engaging with key DoD acquisition authorities to position VAST for formal designation as the GOTS solution for tactical video encoding. This designation would establish VAST as the standard, government-owned video solution across all services, ensuring consistent implementation and interoperability while reducing procurement complexity.

 

  Authority to Operate (ATO): We have secured ATO on U.S. Army networks through both PEO Soldier and ITN, which will enable seamless deployment across U.S. Army systems. This critical certification removes a significant barrier to adoption and establishes VAST as a trusted solution within the DoD’s most demanding security frameworks.

 

  CRADA Partnerships. Our CRADA with USSOCOM provides direct access to key military entities, which we believe will accelerate integration and adoption. This partnership enables continual refinement of VAST to meet evolving DoD requirements while providing a pathway for transition to a GOTS solution.

 

  Open Standards Development. We are working with military standards bodies to establish our AV1-based compression approach as an open standard for tactical video, ensuring long-term sustainability and interoperability across platforms and systems.

 

  Security Certifications. We are pursuing additional security certifications including those required for classified environments, ensuring VAST can operate across the full spectrum of military operations from unclassified to top secret networks.

 

These strategic initiatives are intended to create a reinforcing cycle: each new integration and field validation drives additional interest, while our GOTS designation initiatives address the long-term sustainability and standardization requirements of the DoD. Through this comprehensive approach, we are creating the momentum and institutional support necessary for VAST to become the official standard for tactical video encoding in defense and government sectors.

 

Additionally, we plan to expand into commercial applications, initially in the telecommunications, mining and medical sectors, with our CRISP platform (rebranded VAST). CRISP, our proprietary compression technology, stands for Compressed Rate Intelligent Streaming Protocol.

 

  RMX Telecoms. With the massive increase in video and Internet-of-Things (IoT), mobile network operators are rapidly adopting compression techniques to maximize existing infrastructure. According to PwC’s Perspectives from the Global Telecom Outlook 2023–2027, global data consumption over telecom networks will nearly triple, from 3.4 million petabytes (PB) in 2022 to 9.7 million PB in 2027, driven largely by video traffic. We seek to capitalize on this with CRISP to deliver a cost-effective solution for the telecommunications industry.

 

  RMX Mining. We intend to support semi-autonomous mining techniques, including remote loader technology. Remote loader technology with CRISP will provide advanced video streaming capabilities to participate in underground pilot deployments and assist in the development of case studies to validate and quantify the benefits of the five-meter cycle – a transformative mining method that the technology enables and is poised to transform the underground mining industry.

 

  RMX Medical. We are developing data compression technology designed specifically to meet the demands of the medical industry. By enabling ultra-efficient compression of complex medical imagery—such as MRI, CT, and X-ray scans—we will drastically reduce storage requirements and transmission times without sacrificing fidelity, which we anticipate will not only streamline diagnostics and telemedicine but also accelerate the training of AI models by delivering optimized datasets faster and more cost-effectively.

 

Both CRISP and VAST will be deployed as Platform As A Service (PaaS) software based multi-year contracts, which will allow for a stable and predictable revenue stream going forward.

Our Intellectual Property

 

On August 8, 2022, the Company entered into a worldwide, perpetual and exclusive license agreement with Cytta Corporation, or Cytta, for its proprietary SUPR ISR (Superior Utilization of Processing Resources – Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) system, namely AI powered secure video compression technology that offers superior streaming in HD/4K/8K compared to open standard codecs, and delivers real-time compression of video streams for surface, airborne, and underwater ISR applications, including environments where video streams are transmitted beyond line-of-sight. In consideration of the license agreement, Cytta was issued 5,100,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock and will receive a royalty of five percent of net sales of licensed product revenues and licensed service revenues over a ten-year period.

 

On January 31, 2023, we submitted an application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, for a trademark for VAST. The USPTO requested certain information to support this trademark filing. On November 1, 2023, we responded to the USPTO’s initial request. On February 6, 2024, the USPTO issued a Notice of Allowance, which established the due date for the filing of the Statement of Use (SOU) or a Request for Extension of Time to file a Statement of Use (Extension Request). We filed Extension Requests on August 6, 2024, and February 5, 2025, which the USPTO granted. As of the date of this offering circular, the application is still pending.

 

On March 14, 2023, the Company completed an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement for the purchase of US Patent No. 9,451,291 (Fast DWT-Based Intermediate Codec Optimized For Massively Parallel Architecture), issued on September 20, 2016, and the developed source code related to the patent. This patented technology will help the Company achieve higher functionality and an asymmetric performance advantage over competing technologies, supporting computer vision needs with maximum compression at extremely low latencies. The Company made a one-time payment of $200,000 for the patent.

 

The protection of our intellectual property and all corresponding rights throughout the world, including our trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, trade names, domain names, goodwill, patents, copyrights, works of authorship (whether or not copyrightable), software and trade secrets, know-how, and proprietary and other confidential information, together with all applications, registrations, renewals, extensions, improvements and counterparts in connection with any of the preceding, is essential to the success of our business. We will seek to protect our intellectual property rights by filing applications in various copyright, patent, trademark, and other government offices, as applicable, and relying on applicable laws and regulations in the U.S. and internationally, as well as a variety of administrative procedures. We are seeking to register our core brands as domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the U.S. and many other jurisdictions. We will also have a program to continue to secure, police, and enforce trademarks, service marks, trade dresses, logos, trade names, and domain names that correspond to our brands in markets of interest. We may file patent applications in the U.S. and extend them into international jurisdictions covering specific aspects of our proprietary technology and innovations. We also rely on contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights where appropriate when offering or procuring products and services. We have routinely entered into confidentiality, invention disclosure, assignment agreements with our employees and contractors, and non-disclosure agreements with external parties with whom we conduct business to control access to, and use and disclosure of, our proprietary information.

The lease is month-to-month and the monthly rent payment with common area maintenance charges and taxes is $5,062.

 

We do not currently lease or own any other real property.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

 

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to substantial governmental regulations affecting our business. These include, but are not limited to, data privacy and protection laws, regulations, policies and contractual obligations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage, processing and use of personal information or personal data, which among other things, impose certain requirements relating to the privacy and security of personal information. The variety of laws and regulations governing data privacy and protection, and the use of the internet as a commercial medium are rapidly evolving, extensive, and complex, and may include provisions and obligations that are inconsistent with one another or uncertain in their scope or application.

 

Numerous laws and regulatory schemes have been adopted at the national and state level in the United States, and in some cases internationally, that have a direct impact on our business and operations. For example:

 

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which went into effect on January 1, 2020, provides consumers the right to know what personal data companies collect, how it is used, and the right to access, delete, and opt out of the sale of their personal information to third parties. It also expands the definition of personal information and gives consumers increased privacy rights and protections for that information. The CCPA also includes special requirements for California consumers under the age of 16. In addition, the European Union and United Kingdom have adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which likewise impose significant data protection obligations on enterprises, including limitations on data uses and constraints on certain uses of sensitive data. Effective January 1, 2023, we also became subject to the California Privacy Rights Act, which expands upon the consumer data use restrictions, penalties and enforcement provisions under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act, another comprehensive data privacy law. Effective July 1, 2023, we became subject to the Colorado Privacy Act and Connecticut’s An Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring, which are also comprehensive consumer privacy laws. Effective December 31, 2023, we became subject to the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, regarding business handling of consumers’ personal data. Additionally, comprehensive privacy laws in Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and Texas are scheduled to take effect in 2024 and 2025, further expanding consumer data protection requirements.

 

We operate in non-United States markets and are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, as well anti-corruption laws and regulations in other countries. These laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other improper payments of cash (or anything else of value) to government officials and other persons in order to obtain or retain business. Our business operations also must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations, collectively, the Trade Controls, including rules administered by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the United States Department of State, the United States Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant authorities. The sale or supply of specific goods and services to nations, governments, individuals, or other entities that the U.S. has embargoed or sanctioned is restricted or prohibited by export control laws and economic sanctions laws, and certain encryption items must be exported with permission. Additionally, several nations have laws in place or are considering regulations that might limit our ability to import specific encryption technologies, including through import permits and licensing requirements.

 

As our technology has both commercial and defense uses, we closely adhere to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) regulations, standards, and procurement rules. Given our expected sales to the U.S. federal government, we must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), which intricately outline procurement processes and prerequisites for government contractors, and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), a supplementary framework addressing DoD acquisitions. Additionally, our engagement in software and data storage technologies necessitates the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), which is a mandatory standard for DoD contractors relating to safeguarding sensitive unclassified information. We believe our established processes ensure our compliance with the requisite cybersecurity benchmarks, ensuring that our contributions to defense remain technologically robust and secure. Lastly, as the reach of our technologies extends beyond U.S. borders, this potentially bringing us under the scope of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) since our technology derivatives might fall within the export and import parameters of defense-related articles and services listed on the United States Munitions List (USML). In such instances, strict customer vetting and licensing requirements will apply.

Officers serve at the discretion of the board of directors. There is no arrangement or understanding between any director or executive officer and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as a director, nominee or officer.

 

Family Relationships

 

Karl Kit, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our board of directors, and Maxwell Kit, our Chief Marketing Officer, are father and son. No other family relationships exist between any of our directors and executive officers. There are no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others pursuant to which any person referred to above was selected as a director or member of senior management.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

 

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

 

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

 

been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

Corporate Governance

 

Governance Structure

 

We chose to appoint a separate Executive Chairman of the Board who is not our Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors has made this decision based on their belief that a separate Executive Chairman of the Board can act as a balance to the Chief Executive Officer. Due to the small size of our board of directors and the early stage of our operations, we do not currently have, and do not currently intend to establish, any committees of the board of directors, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors currently performs the functions of those committees.

 

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The board of directors oversees that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the board’s oversight of the various risks facing our company. In this regard, our board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives. While the board oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the board and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.

 

A copy of the code of ethics has been filed as an exhibit to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part. We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure as well as by SEC filings, as permitted or required by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four (4) business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics.

 

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

We are a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes and certain provisions of our bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our bylaws and to the statutory provisions.

 

In general, any officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in our best interest, and were not unlawful. Unless such person is successful upon the merits in such an action, indemnification may be awarded only after a determination by independent decision of our board of directors, by legal counsel, or by a vote of our stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the person to be indemnified.

 

48

 

The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with an action brought on our behalf is generally the same as those set forth above; however, with respect to such actions, indemnification is granted only with respect to expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action. In such actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner believed to have been in our best interest and have not been adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct.

 

Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements which may be entered into in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes also grant us the power to purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and such a policy may be obtained by us.

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our articles of incorporation eliminate or limit the liability of our directors to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty as a director.

 

We have entered or intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. Each indemnification agreement will provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements will provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

 

We are in the process of obtaining standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to us with respect to payments which we may make to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

 

The definitive selling agency agreement, filed as an exhibit to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, will provide for indemnification, under certain circumstances, by the lead selling agent of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

These awards offer us and our shareholders the possibility of future value, depending on the long-term price appreciation of our Class A Common Stock and the award holder’s continuing service with us.

 

Stock options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of shares of our Class A Common Stock at a purchase price that is fixed at the time of the grant of the option.

Stock appreciation rights, or SARs, which may be granted alone or in tandem with options, have an economic value similar to that of options. When an SAR for a particular number of shares is exercised, the holder receives a payment equal to the difference between the market price of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the shares under the SAR. Again, the exercise price for SARs normally is the market price of the shares on the date the SAR is granted. Under the 2022 Plan, holders of SARs may receive this payment – the appreciation value – either in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise. The form of payment will be determined by us.

 

Restricted stock are awards of a right to receive shares of our Class A Common Stock on a future date. Restricted Stock Unit Awards are evidenced by award agreements in such form as our board of directors shall from time to time establish. Restricted stock shares can take the form of awards of restricted stock, which represent issued and outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock subject to vesting criteria, or restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of our Class A Common Stock subject to satisfaction of the vesting criteria. Restricted shares are forfeitable and non-transferable until the shares vest. The vesting date or dates and other conditions for vesting are established when the shares are awarded.

 

Our board of directors may grant Class A Common Stock to any eligible recipient as a bonus, or to grant stock or other awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the 2022 Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements.

 

The 2022 Plan also provides for performance awards, representing the right to receive a payment, which may be in the form of cash, shares of Class A Common Stock, or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established goals.

 

All of the permissible types of awards under the 2022 Plan are described in more detail below.

  

Administration of the 2022 Plan: The 2022 Plan is currently administered by our board of directors. All questions of interpretation of the 2022 Plan, of any award agreement or of any other form of agreement or other document employed by us in the administration of the 2022 Plan or of any award shall be determined by the board, and such determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the 2022 Plan or such award, unless fraudulent or made in bad faith. Any and all actions, decisions and determinations taken or made by the board of directors. in the exercise of its discretion pursuant to the 2022 Plan or award agreement or other agreement thereunder (other than determining questions of interpretation pursuant to the preceding sentence) shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest therein.

 

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan will be those employees, consultants and directors of us or of any of our subsidiaries.

 

Shares Available Under the 2022 Plan: The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan shall be 5,000,000 shares and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Class A Common Stock or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits, merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend. Shares subject to an award under the 2022 Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited or expires again become available for grants under the 2022 Plan.

 

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights:

 

General. Stock options and SARs shall be evidenced by award agreements specifying the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered thereby, in such form as the board of directors shall from time to time establish. Each Stock option grant will identify the option as an ISO or Nonstatutory Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options. That determination will include: (i) the number of shares subject to any option; (ii) the exercise price per share; (iii) the expiration date of the option; (iv) the manner, time and date of permitted exercise; (v) other restrictions, if any, on the option or the shares underlying the option; and (vi) any other terms and conditions as the administrator may determine.

 

Option Price. The exercise price for each stock option or SAR shall be established in the discretion of the board of directors; provided, however, that the exercise price per share for the stock option or SAR shall be not less than the fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock on the effective date of grant of the stock option or SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a stock option or SAR may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such stock option or SAR is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

 

56

 

Exercise of Options. Stock options may be immediately exercisable but subject to repurchase or may be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the board of directors and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such stock option. No stock option or SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such stock option or SAR. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the board of directors in the grant of a stock option or SAR, any stock option or SAR granted hereunder shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the stock option or SAR, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions. The board of directors may set a reasonable minimum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be exercised at any one time.

 

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, such term cannot exceed ten years provided that in the case of holders of more than 10% of our total combined voting stock, such term cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date if the holder’s service with our company or a subsidiary terminates before the expiration date. The option may remain exercisable for specified periods after certain terminations of employment, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement, with the precise period during which the option may be exercised to be established by the administrator and reflected in the grant evidencing the award.

 

Incentive Stock Options. Stock options intending to qualify as ISOs may only be granted to employees, as determined by the board of directors. No ISO shall be granted to any person if immediately after the grant of such award, such person would own Class A Common Stock, including Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding awards held by him or her under the 2022 Plan or any other plan established by the Company, amounting to more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company. To the extent that the award agreement specifies that an Option is intended to be treated as an ISO, the Option is intended to qualify to the greatest extent possible as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and shall be so construed; provided, however, that any such designation shall not be interpreted as a representation, guarantee or other undertaking on the part of the Company that the Option is or will be determined to qualify as an ISO. If and to the extent that any shares of Stock are issued under a portion of any Option that exceeds the $100,000 limitation of Section 422 of the Code, such shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be treated as issued under an ISO notwithstanding any designation otherwise.  

 

Restricted Stock Awards: Stock awards can also be granted under the 2022 Plan. A stock award is a grant of shares of Class A Common Stock or of a right to receive shares in the future. These awards will be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the administrator shall determine at the date of grant. Those may include requirements for continuous service and/or the achievement of specified performance goals.

 

Restricted Stock Units: RSU Awards shall be evidenced by award agreements in such form as the board of directors shall from time to time establish. The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each RSU Award shall be established by the board of directors in its discretion. Except as may be required by Applicable Law or established by the board of directors, no monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving an RSU Award. Shares issued pursuant to any RSU Award may (but need not) be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or Performance Criteria, as shall be established by the board and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such award.

 

Performance Criteria: Under the 2022 Plan, Performance Criteria means business criteria including, but not limited to: revenue; revenue growth; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings per share; operating income; pre- or after-tax income; net operating profit after taxes; economic value added (or an equivalent metric); ratio of operating earnings to capital spending; cash flow (before or after dividends); cash-flow per share (before or after dividends); net earnings; net sales; sales growth; share price performance; return on assets or net assets; return on equity; return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; total shareholder return; improvement in or attainment of expense levels; and improvement in or attainment of working capital levels or Performance Criteria. Any Performance Criteria may be used to measure the Company’s performance as a whole or any of the Company’s business units and may be measured relative to a peer group or index.

 

57

 

Performance Awards. Performance awards shall be evidenced by award agreements in such form as the board of directors shall from time to time establish. Each performance award shall entitle the participant to a payment in cash or Class A Common Stock upon the attainment of Performance Criteria and other terms and conditions specified by the board of directors. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of any Performance Criteria, the amount to be paid under a performance award may be adjusted by the board of directors on the basis of such further consideration as the board of directors in its sole discretion shall determine. The board of directors may, in its discretion, substitute actual Class A Common Stock for the cash payment otherwise required to be made to a participant pursuant to a performance award.

 

Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The board of directors may grant Class A Common Stock to any eligible recipient as a bonus, or to grant Class A Common Stock or other awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the 2022 Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, provided that, in the case of participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the board of directors to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Class A Common Stock or other awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Class A Common Stock or awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the board of directors.

 

Other Material Provisions: Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board of directors also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The board also has the authority to alter or amend the 2022 Plan or any outstanding award or may terminate the 2022 Plan as to further grants, provided that no amendment will, without the approval of our stockholders, to the extent that such approval is required by law or the rules of an applicable exchange, increase the number of shares available under the 2022 Plan, change the persons eligible for awards under the 2022 Plan, extend the time within which awards may be made, or amend the provisions of the 2022 Plan related to amendments. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the 2022 Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 210,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 196,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (ii) 3,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share and (iii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.

 

The following description summarizes important terms of the classes of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws which have been filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.

 

As of the date of this offering circular, there were (i) 19,476,246 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

There is currently no established public trading market for our securities, and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held of record and the holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to one hundred (100) votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. A share of Class B Common Stock may be voluntarily converted into a share of Class A Common Stock. A transfer of a share of Class B Common Stock will result in its automatic conversion into a share of Class A Common Stock upon such transfer, subject to certain exceptions, including that the transfer of a share of Class B Common Stock to another holder of Class B Common Stock will not result in such automatic conversion. Class A Common Stock is not convertible. Other than as to voting and conversion rights, the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have the same rights and preferences and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters.

 

Under our articles of incorporation and bylaws, any corporate action to be taken by vote of shareholders other than for election of directors shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

Holders of Class A Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Class A Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to determine the designations and the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights (including the number of votes per share), redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions and the number of shares constituting the series. Our board of directors could, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and which could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

 

Investor Warrants to be Sold to the Public in Connection with this Offering

 

General. Each investor warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share, which is an 83.33% premium over the unit price of the securities offered hereby. This exercise price will be adjusted if specific events, summarized below, occur. A holder of warrants will not be deemed a holder of the underlying stock for any purpose until the warrant is exercised.

 

61

 

Warrant Agent. The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agency agreement between Transfer Online, Inc., as warrant agent, and us.

 

Exercisability. The warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is three years after their original issuance. The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice. If a registration (or offering) statement registering (or qualifying) the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

  

Exercise Price. The price per share of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is $5.50 per share or 183.33% of the offering price for each unit in this offering. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Class A Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

  

Adjustments in Certain Events. We will make adjustments to the terms of the warrants if certain events occur as described below. If prior to the exercise of any warrants, we effect one or more stock splits, stock dividends or other increases or reductions of the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or property, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the warrants shall (i) if a net increase shall have been effected in the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, be proportionately increased, and the exercise price payable per share of Class A Common Stock subject to the warrant shall be proportionately reduced, and, (ii) if a net reduction shall have been effected in the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, be proportionately reduced and the exercise price payable per share of Class A Common Stock subject to the warrant shall be proportionately increased. We may, in our sole discretion, lower the exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock subject to the warrant at any time prior to the expiration date for a period of not less than 30 days.

 

In the event of a capital reorganization or reclassification of our Class A Common Stock, the warrants will be adjusted so that thereafter each warrant holder will be entitled to receive upon exercise the same number and kind of securities that such holder would have received if the warrant had been exercised before the capital reorganization or reclassification of our Class A Common Stock.

 

If we merge or consolidate with another corporation, or if we sell our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation, we will make provisions so that warrant holders will be entitled to receive upon exercise of a warrant the kind and number of securities, cash or other property that would have been received as a result of the transaction by a person who was our stockholder immediately before the transaction and who owned the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the warrant was exercisable immediately before the transaction. No adjustment to the warrants will be made, however, if a merger or consolidation does not result in any reclassification or change in our outstanding Class A Common Stock.

 

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Class A Common Stock, the holder of a warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Class A Common Stock until the holder exercises the warrant.

 

62

 

Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of any warrant, and a holder shall not have the right exercise any investor warrants, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted exercise set forth on an applicable exercise notice, such attempted exercise would result in the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the SEC), including any Attribution Parties beneficially owning a number of shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the warrant).

 

Lead Selling Agents’ Warrants

 

Upon the closing of this offering, there will be up to 285,714 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrants and the Unit warrants contained within the Agent Warrants. See “Plan of Distribution—Lead Selling Agents’ Warrants” below for a description of the Agent Warrants.

 

Stock Options

 

On November 23, 2022, we adopted the Reticulate Micro, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2022 Plan. The purpose of the 2022 Plan is to grant restricted stock and stock options to our officers, employees, directors, advisors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2022 Plan is 5,000,000 shares. Cancelled and forfeited stock options and stock awards may again become available for grant under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan expires on November 23, 2032. For further information, please see “Executive Compensation – 2022 Equity Incentive Plan”.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring us, even if the acquisition would benefit our stockholders. Such provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of our company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares, or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of our company.

 

Dual Class Structure

 

Under our articles of incorporation, we are authorized to issue two classes of Class A Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and any number of classes of Preferred Stock. Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on proposals requiring or requesting shareholder approval, and Class B Common Stock is entitled to one hundred votes on any such matter. A share of Class B Common Stock may be voluntarily converted into a share of Class A Common Stock. A transfer of a share of Class B Common Stock will result in its automatic conversion into a share of Class A Common Stock upon such transfer, subject to certain exceptions, including that the transfer of a share of Class B Common Stock to another holder of Class B Common Stock will not result in such automatic conversion. Class A Common Stock is not convertible. Other than as to voting and conversion rights, the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have the same rights and preferences and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters.

 

In this offering, we are offering shares of Class A Common Stock. Makena Investment Advisors, LLC, which is beneficially owned by Michael Chermak, our Executive Chairman, and Basestones, Inc. own 2,000,000 shares of our outstanding Class B Common Stock, which amounts to 200,000,000 votes. Prior to the commencement of this offering, there were 10,425,244 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 10,425,244 votes, 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 200,000,000 votes, and no preferred shares outstanding. As a result, out of a total of 10,425,244 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock representing total voting power of 210,425,244 votes, the holders of our Class B Common Stock control approximately 95.0% of the voting power before this offering. Following this offering, taking into consideration the shares of Class A Common Stock expected to be offered hereby, even if 100% of such shares are sold, Makena Investment Advisors, LLC and Basestones, Inc. will retain controlling voting power in the Company based on having approximately 93.8% of all voting rights. This concentrated control may limit or preclude the ability of others to influence corporate matters including significant business decisions for the foreseeable future.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes

 

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we have elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s control share acquisition laws (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.378 - 78.3793), which prohibit an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing specific threshold ownership percentages, unless the acquirer obtains the approval of the issuing corporation’s stockholders. The first such threshold is the acquisition of at least one-fifth but less than one-third of the outstanding voting power.

 

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we have also elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s combination with interested stockholders statute (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.411 - 78.444), which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the corporation unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10 percent or more of the corporation’s voting stock, or otherwise has the ability to influence or control the corporation’s management or policies.

 

Bylaws

 

In addition, various provisions of our bylaws may also have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of the Company that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, and except as provided by Nevada law, our board of directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws by a vote of not less than a majority of our directors. Any bylaw provision adopted by the board of directors may be amended or repealed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors. Our bylaws also contain limitations as to who may call special meetings as well as require advance notice of stockholder matters to be brought at a meeting. Additionally, our bylaws also provide that no director may be removed by less than a two-thirds vote of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on the removal. Our bylaws also permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships. These provisions will prevent a shareholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees.

 

Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for shareholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our shareholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Shareholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a shareholder who was a shareholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given us timely written notice, in proper form, of the shareholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove shareholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Authorized but Unissued Shares 

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock are available for our board of directors to issue without stockholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including raising additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee stock plans. The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy context, tender offer, merger or other transaction since our board of directors can issue large amounts of capital stock as part of a defense to a take-over challenge. In addition, we have authorized in our articles of incorporation 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are currently designated or outstanding. However, the board acting alone and without approval of our stockholders can designate and issue one or more series of preferred stock containing super-voting provisions, enhanced economic rights, rights to elect directors, or other dilutive features, that could be utilized as part of a defense to a take-over challenge. 

 

Supermajority Voting Provisions

 

Nevada Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, require a greater percentage. Although our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not currently provide for such a supermajority vote on any matters, our board of directors can amend our bylaws and we can, with the approval of our stockholders, amend our articles of incorporation to provide for such a super-majority voting provision. 

 

Cumulative Voting

 

Furthermore, neither the holders of our Class A Common Stock nor the holders of our preferred stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of the present ownership by a few shareholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other shareholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing its board of directors.

Each Warrant allows the holder to purchase one additional share of Class A Common Stock, or Warrant Share, at an exercise price of $5.50 per Warrant Share, subject to certain adjustments, over a 36-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the Warrant.

The Company intends to complete multiple closings in this offering. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the Company.

 

Engagement Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC and Digital Offering, LLC

 

We are currently party to an engagement agreement dated May 9, 2024, with Digital Offering, LLC and Boustead Securities, LLC, who we refer to as the Lead Selling Agents. The Lead Selling Agents have agreed to act as our exclusive lead managing selling agents for the offering. The Lead Selling Agents have made no commitment to purchase all or any part of the Units being offered but have agreed to use their best efforts to sell such Units in the offering. As such, the Lead Selling Agents are an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

 

The term of the engagement agreement began on May 9, 2024, and will continue until the earlier to occur of: (a) the date that either party gives the other at least ten (10) days written notice of the termination of the agreement, which termination may occur with or without cause, (b) May 31, 2025, or (c) the date that the offering is consummated. The engagement agreement provides that the Lead Selling Agents may engage other FINRA member broker-dealers that are registered with the SEC to participate as soliciting dealers for the offering. We refer to these other broker-dealers as soliciting dealers or members of the selling group. Upon engagement of any such soliciting dealer, the Lead Selling Agents will be permitted to re-allow all or part of its fees and expense allowance as described below. Such soliciting dealer will also be entitled to receive the benefits of our engagement agreement with the Lead Selling Agents, including the indemnification rights arising under the engagement agreement upon their execution of a soliciting dealer agreement with the Lead Selling Agents that confirms that such soliciting dealer is so entitled. As of the date hereof, we have been advised that the Lead Selling Agents have retained Sutter Securities, Inc. to participate in the offering as soliciting dealers. We will not be responsible for paying any placement agency fees, commissions or expense reimbursements to any soliciting dealers retained by the Lead Selling Agents. None of the soliciting dealers (i) is purchasing any of our Units in the offering and (ii) is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of our Units, but will instead arrange for the sale of shares to investors on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that they need only use their best efforts to sell the Units. In addition to the engagement agreement, we plan on entering into a definitive selling agency agreement with the Lead Selling Agents prior to the commencement of the offering.

 

Offering Expenses

 

We are responsible for all offering fees and expenses, including, without limitation, the following: (i) fees and disbursements of our legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals we engage; (ii) fees and expenses incurred in the production of offering documents, including design, printing, photograph, and written material procurement costs; (iii) all filing fees, including those charged by FINRA; (iv) all of the legal fees related to FINRA clearance; (v) applicable fees and expenses of our Units on a nationally recognized securities exchange, (vi) due diligence fees of $75,000 and reasonable and documented legal costs up to a maximum of $85,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the $75,000 due diligence fee, which has already been advanced, and the $85,000 legal fees once advanced to the Lead Selling Agents will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a).

 

66

 

Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination

 

In the event the offering does not close or the selling agency agreement is terminated for any reason, we have agreed to reimburse the Lead Selling Agents for all unreimbursed, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and disbursements, including its legal fees, up to $85,000.

 

Selling Agents’ Commission

 

We have agreed that the definitive selling agency agreement will provide for us to pay a cash commission equal to 7.25% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the offering, which shall be allocated by the Lead Selling Agents to members of the selling group and soliciting dealers in its sole discretion.

 

Selling Agents’ Warrants

 

Upon the closing of the offering, we have agreed to issue warrants, the Selling Agents’ Warrants, to the Lead Selling Agents to purchase a number of our Units equal to 5.00% of the total number of our Units sold in the offering. The Selling Agents’ Warrants will be exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the offering. The exercise price for the Selling Agents’ Warrants will be the amount that is 125% of the offering price, or $4.375 per Unit. The exercise price for the warrants included in the Units issuable upon exercise of the Selling Agents’ Warrants will be $5.50 per share. The Selling Agents’ Warrants will not be redeemable. The Selling Agents’ Warrants will provide for cashless exercise, and immediate “piggyback” registration rights, with a duration of five years from the date of commencement of sales in the offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D)), with respect to the registration or qualification of the Units underlying the Selling Agents’ Warrants. We have registered the Selling Agents’ Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Selling Agents’ Warrants in the offering.

 

The Selling Agents’ Warrants and the Units underlying the Selling Agents’ Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Lead Selling Agents, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Selling Agents’ Warrants or the Class A Common Stock underlying the Selling Agents’ Warrants, nor will the Lead Selling Agents or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Selling Agents’ Warrants or the underlying Class A Common Stock for a period of 180 days from the date of commencement of sales in the offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any selling agent or selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Selling Agents’ Warrants or the underlying shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Selling Agents’ Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the Class A Common Stock underlying such warrants) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend or stock split.

If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to the payments the Lead Selling Agents or the soliciting dealers, and their respective affiliates and controlling persons may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.

Our Relationship with the Lead Selling Agents and the Soliciting Dealers

 

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, Lead Selling Agents and soliciting dealers and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their clients, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of our company. As of the date of the commencement of this offering, Boustead Securities owned 1,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, or approximately 9.7% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. See “Risk Factors Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock Boustead Securities, one of the Lead Selling Agents, owned approximately 9.7% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company prior to commencement of this offering. This ownership interest in our company creates a conflict of interest with the interests of investors in this offering in that Boustead Securities will benefit through ownership of our shares if the offering is consummated.” for more information. The Lead Selling Agents and the soliciting dealers and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

 

From May 2024 to March 2025, the Company conducted private placements of (i) shares of its Class A Common Stock and (ii) units, with each unit consisting of an unsecured promissory note and a five year warrant to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. Boustead Securities, who is acting as one of the Lead Selling Agents in this offering, acted as the placement agent in the private placements. Pursuant to the Company’s engagement letter agreement with Boustead Securities, as amended, in addition to payments of a success fee of $86,000, and a non-accountable expense allowance of $5,900, the Company agreed to issue Boustead Securities five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,890 shares of Class A Common Stock in aggregate, exercisable on a cashless basis, with an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

 

The foregoing warrants and the Class A Common Stock underlying the foregoing warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. Boustead Securities, or its permitted assignees under such rule, may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the foregoing warrants or the Class A Common Stock underlying the foregoing warrants, nor will Boustead Securities or its permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the foregoing warrants or the underlying Class A Common Stock for a period of 180 days from the date of commencement of sales in the offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any selling agent or selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the foregoing warrants or the underlying shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period.

Investment Procedures

 

Procedures for Subscribing through Sutter Securities, Inc.

 

Sutter Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Boustead Securities, is a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Sutter Securities has been appointed by the Lead Selling Agents, as a soliciting dealer for the offering.

  

In order to subscribe to purchase the Units, a prospective investor must electronically complete and execute a subscription agreement and provide payment to the Sutter Securities, Inc. escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). When submitting the subscription request, a prospective investor is required to agree to various terms and conditions by checking boxes and to review and electronically sign any necessary documents. We will not accept any subscription agreements prior to the SEC’s qualification of the offering.

 

Escrow Account

 

Except with respect to investors who are clients of Other Broker-Dealers (as defined below) with clearing agreements in place, investors will be required to deposit their funds into the Escrow Account with Sutter Securities. We may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. Any such funds that Sutter Securities receives shall be held in escrow until a closing of the offering takes place or such other time as mutually agreed between the Company and Boustead Securities, and then used to complete securities purchases, or returned if this offering fails to close. All subscribers will be instructed by the Company or its agents to transfer funds by wire or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. Sutter Securities will also accept credit cards for investor subscriptions. Our escrow agreement with Sutter Securities and the implementation of the Escrow Account and actions of the parties to the escrow agreement will be governed by rules 10b-9 and 15c2-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act. We will pay Sutter Securities $2,500 to set up the escrow account and a cash management fee of 0.25% on disbursed proceeds.

 

Other Procedures for Subscribing

 

We refer to other broker-dealers that clear through their respective clearing firms and who may participate in the offering as “Other Broker-Dealers.” Other Broker-Dealers with clearing agreements shall provide the Lead Selling Agents with executed subscriptions and delivery sheets from their clients and shall settle the transactions with the Lead Selling Agents through clearing firms on closing.

 

Prospective investors investing through Sutter Securities or Other Broker-Dealers will acquire our Units through book-entry order by opening an account with Sutter Securities or an Other Broker-Dealer, or by utilizing an existing Sutter Securities account or account with an Other Broker-Dealer. In each such case, the account will be an account owned by the investor and held at the clearing firm of such Other Broker-Dealer, as the clearing firm for the exclusive benefit of such investor. The investor will also be required to complete and submit a subscription agreement. Subscriptions for Units acquired through an account at Sutter Securities, or an Other Broker-Dealer, are all processed online at https://invest.reticulate.io. Subscriptions will be effective only upon our acceptance, and we reserve the right to reject any subscription in whole or in part.

The clearing firm, as the clearing firm, will maintain the individual shareholders beneficial records for accounts at Sutter Securities or Other Broker-Dealers. All other investors that participate through the Escrow Account shall have their shares held at Transfer Online, Inc. in digital book entry. Such shares may be transferred to the investor’s outside brokerage account by requesting their outside broker dealer to effect such transfer. Request for transfer may only be made by the outside broker dealer of the investor.

 

You may not subscribe to the offering prior to the date the offering is deemed qualified by the SEC, which we will refer to as the qualification date. Before the qualification date, you may only make non-binding indications of your interest to purchase securities in the offering. For any indication of subscription agreements received after the qualification date, we have the right to review and accept or reject the subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. If rejected, we will return all funds to the rejected investor within ten (10) business days. If accepted, the funds will remain in the Escrow Account until we determine to have a closing of the offering and upon such closing, the funds in the Escrow Account will then be disbursed to us as well as to our legal counsel and the Lead Selling Agents for offering costs and fees.

 

Non-U.S. investors may participate in the offering by depositing their funds in the Escrow Account and any such funds that the Escrow Account receives shall be held in the Escrow Account until the closing of the offering or such other time as mutually agreed between the Company and the Lead Selling Agents, and then used to complete securities purchases, or returned if the offering fails to close.

After we receive your complete, executed subscription agreement (a form of which is attached to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part) and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been transferred to the Escrow Account, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions

Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request the return of your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

 

How to Calculate Net Worth

 

For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Units.

 

In order to purchase the Units and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, for so long as our Units are not listed on a national securities exchange, an investor in our Units will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

 

No Minimum Offering Amount

 

There is no minimum offering amount in this offering and we may close on any funds that we receive. Potential investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that any other funds will be invested in this offering other than their own funds.

 

No Selling Security holders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the Company.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The Company has engaged Transfer Online, Inc., a registered transfer agent with the Commission, who will serve as transfer agent to maintain stockholder information on a book-entry basis.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB under the symbol “RMXI”, which is a significantly less liquid and more volatile market than a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE or Nasdaq. There is no guarantee that our Class A Common Stock will continue to be quoted on OTCQB. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Class A Common Stock, including shares issued upon the conversion of convertible notes, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after this offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our Class A Common Stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

Immediately following the closing of this offering, we expect to have 13,237,386 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, assuming completion of the maximum offering hereunder.

 

Previously issued shares of Class A Common Stock that were not offered and sold in this offering, as well as shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and subject to employee stock options, are or will be upon issuance, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if such public resale is registered under the Securities Act or if the resale qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Class A Common Stock for at least twelve months, or at least six months in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the ninety (90) days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

 

1% of the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock then outstanding; or

 

1% of the average weekly trading volume of our Class A Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

 

Rule 701

 

In general, Rule 701 allows a shareholder who purchased shares of our capital stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell those shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until ninety (90) days after the date of this offering circular before selling shares pursuant to Rule 701.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock that is being issued pursuant to this offering. This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold our Class A Common Stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of the Non-U.S. Holder’s particular investment or other circumstances. Accordingly, all prospective Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock.

 

This summary is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, all as in effect or in existence on the date of this offering circular. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income or estate tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could alter the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Class A Common Stock as described in this summary. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will not take a contrary position with respect to one or more of the tax consequences described herein and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of our Class A Common Stock.

 

As used in this summary, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Class A Common Stock that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

 

an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership;

 

an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

 

a trust, if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (as defined in the Code) has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Class A Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships that hold our Class A Common Stock and partners in such partnerships should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences that may apply to them as a consequence of owning and disposing of our Class A Common Stock.

 

This summary does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a Non-U.S. Holder and does not address any special tax rules that may apply to particular Non-U.S. Holders, such as:

 

a Non-U.S. Holder that is a financial institution, insurance company, tax-exempt organization, pension plan, broker, dealer or trader in securities, dealer in currencies, U.S. expatriate, controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company;

 

a Non-U.S. Holder holding our Class A Common Stock as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other integrated transaction or as hedge, straddle or synthetic security;

 

a Non-U.S. Holder that holds or receives our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or

 

a Non-U.S. Holder that at any time owns, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more of our outstanding Class A Common Stock.

 

74

 

In addition, this summary does not address any U.S. state or local, or non-U.S. or other tax consequences, or any U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences for beneficial owners of a Non-U.S. Holder, including shareholders of a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company that holds our Class A Common Stock.

 

Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Class A Common Stock.

 

Distributions on Our Common Stock

 

We do not currently expect to pay any cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock. If we make distributions of cash or property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our Class A Common Stock) with respect to our Class A Common Stock, any such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax rules. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock and will reduce (but not below zero) such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from a disposition of our Class A Common Stock subject to the tax treatment described below in “— Dispositions of Our Common Stock.”

 

Distributions on our Class A Common Stock that are treated as dividends and that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons. An exception may apply if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for, and properly claims, the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty and the dividends are not attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder may be eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and its jurisdiction of tax residence. Dividends that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will not be subject to the U.S. withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) in accordance with the applicable certification and disclosure requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (unless the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the Non-U.S. Holder’s earnings and profits (attributable to dividends on our Class A Common Stock or otherwise) that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. The amount of taxable earnings and profits is generally reduced by amounts reinvested in the operations of the U.S. trade or business and increased by any decline in its equity.

 

The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. A Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their eligibility for benefits under any relevant income tax treaty and the manner of claiming such benefits.

 

The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “—Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “—FATCA Withholding.”

Dispositions of Our Common Stock

 

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including U.S. withholding tax) on gain recognized on any sale or other disposition of our Class A Common Stock unless:

 

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); in such case, the gain would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise) and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the “branch profits tax” described above may also apply;

 

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and meets certain other requirements; in such case, except as otherwise provided by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses, generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax, even if the Non-U.S. Holder is not treated as a resident of the United States under the Code; or

 

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of (i) the five-year period ending on the date of disposition and (ii) the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our Class A Common Stock.

 

Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming in the future, a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC is made from time to time and depends on the relative fair market values of our assets, there can be no assurance in this regard. If we were a USRPHC, the tax relating to disposition of stock in a USRPHC generally will not apply to a Non-U.S. Holder whose holdings, direct, indirect and constructive, constituted 5% or less of our Class A Common Stock at all times during the applicable period, provided that our Class A Common Stock is “regularly traded on an established securities market” (as provided in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations) at any time during the calendar year in which the disposition occurs. However, no assurance can be provided that our Class A Common Stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any possible adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to them if we are, or were to become, a USRPHC.

 

The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “—Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “—FATCA Withholding.”

 

Federal Estate Tax

 

Any shares of our Class A Common Stock that are owned (or treated as owned) by an individual who is not a U.S. citizen or resident of the United States (as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death will be included in that individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax or other treaty provides otherwise and, therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to dividends paid by U.S. corporations in some circumstances, but will not apply to payments of dividends on our Class A Common Stock to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person or is otherwise entitled to an exemption. However, the applicable withholding agent generally will be required to report to the IRS (and to such Non-U.S. Holder) payments of dividends on our Class A Common Stock and the amount of U.S. federal income tax, if any, withheld from those payments. In accordance with applicable treaties or agreements, the IRS may provide copies of such information returns to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.

 

76

 

The gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our Class A Common Stock may be subject, in certain circumstances discussed below, to U.S. backup withholding and information reporting. If a Non-U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of any of our Class A Common Stock outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the disposition proceeds are paid to the Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, the U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting, but not U.S. backup withholding, will apply to a payment of disposition proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if a Non-U.S. Holder sells our Class A Common Stock through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a United States person or has certain enumerated connections with the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

 

If a Non-U.S. Holder receives payments of the proceeds of a disposition of our Class A Common Stock to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment will be subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the broker a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (which may result in the Non-U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund), provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

FATCA Withholding

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and related Treasury guidance (commonly referred to as FATCA) impose U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% on payments to certain foreign entities of (i) U.S.-source dividends (including dividends paid on our Class A Common Stock) and (ii) the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source dividends (including sales or other dispositions of our Class A Common Stock). This withholding tax applies to a foreign entity, whether acting as a beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign entity complies with (i) certain information reporting requirements regarding its U.S. account holders and its U.S. owners and (ii) certain withholding obligations regarding certain payments to its account holders and certain other persons. Accordingly, the entity through which a Non-U.S. Holder holds its Class A Common Stock may affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. While withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Class A Common Stock on or after January 1, 2019, U.S. Treasury Regulations proposed in December 2018 eliminate such withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations until final U.S. Treasury Regulations are issued. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of FATCA in their particular circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Reticulate Micro, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Reticulate Micro, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations. Therefore, the Company has stated substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 consolidated 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 audit, 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 entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

F-2

 

Going Concern

 

As described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from its inception through December 31, 2024, and expects to incur additional losses in the future.

 

We determined the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to the estimation and uncertainty regarding the Company’s future cash flows and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions in estimating these cash flows.

 

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s assertion on its ability to continue as a going concern included the following, among others:

 

We reviewed the Company’s working capital and liquidity ratios and forecasted revenue, operating expenses, and uses and sources of cash used in management’s assessment of whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date. This testing included inquiries with management, comparison of prior period forecasts to actual results, consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, the Company’s financing arrangements in place as of the report date, market and industry factors and consideration of the Company’s relationships with its financing partners.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  The Company has incurred losses since its inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $16,554,687 as of December 31, 2024, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenue adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or debt financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or debt financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available to the Company, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations.

 

Due to uncertainties related to these matters, there exists a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and are expressed in United States dollars.

 

F-8

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds, the fair value of which approximates cost. The Company maintains its cash balances with a high-credit-quality financial institution. At times, such cash may be more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 -Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2024, and 2023. The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its Level 1 financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximates its fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Fair values were estimated to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature, and they are receivable or payable on demand.

 

The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and reporting units and long-lived assets used in the related asset impairment tests utilize inputs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs expensed were $849,542 and $523,789, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period when an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) or the straight-line attribution method.

 

F-9

 

Under 718-10-30-20D the determination of whether a valuation method is reasonable, or whether an application of a valuation method is reasonable, shall be made based on the facts and circumstances as of the measurement date. Factors to be considered under a reasonable valuation method include, as applicable:

 

  a. The value of tangible and intangible assets of the nonpublic entity

 

  b. The present value of anticipated future cash flows of the nonpublic entity

 

  c. The market value of stock or equity interests in similar corporations and other entities engaged in trades or businesses substantially similar to those engaged in by the nonpublic entity for which the stock is to be valued, the value of which can be readily determined through nondiscretionary, objective means (such as through trading prices on an established securities market or an amount paid in an arm’s-length private transaction)

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, share-based compensation expensed was $1,921,720 and $2,533,521, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has adopted Section 360-10-35 of the FASB ASC for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-20 if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.

 

Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-21, the Company’s long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes in circumstances that may trigger an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group); (b) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition; (c) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (d) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and (f) a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

 

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

F-10

 

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

 

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use leased assets over the agreed upon term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term.

 

For operating leases, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, using the rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable. If the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement. The operating lease ROU assets are calculated as the present value of the remaining lease payments plus unamortized initial direct costs and any prepayments, less unamortized lease incentives received.

 

Operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. We have elected to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease ROU assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease component payments that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenues from three sources: (1) software license and subscription, (2) professional services and other revenues, and (3) hardware.

 

Software license and subscription revenues include software license revenues from the sales of software licenses and subscription fees from customers accessing the Company’s services. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, for example, overage fees, contingent fees or service level penalties, the Company includes an estimate of the amount it expects to receive for the total transaction price if it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

 

The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the application of the following steps:

 

  identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

 

  identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  determination of the transaction price;

 

  allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

  recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

 

Professional Services and Other Revenues. The Company’s professional services contracts are either on a time and materials, fixed price or subscription basis. These revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time and materials contracts, on a proportional performance basis for fixed price contracts or ratably over the contract term for subscription professional services contracts. Other revenues consist primarily of training revenues recognized as such services are performed.

 

Hardware. Our hardware is generally highly dependent on, and interrelated with, the underlying operating system and cannot function without the operating system. In these cases, the hardware and software license are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when ownership is transferred to resellers or directly to end customers through retail stores and online marketplaces.

 

F-11

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment over $2,500 are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, three years; computer equipment, three to five years; leasehold improvements, shorter of lease term or estimated useful life; and furniture and equipment, one to 10 years.

 

3. REVENUES

 

License, hardware and support revenue consisted of the following:

6. INTANGIBLE ASSET – PROPERTY LICENSE

 

On August 8, 2022, the Company entered a worldwide, perpetual and exclusive license agreement with Cytta Corporation, or Cytta, for its proprietary SUPR ISR (Superior Utilization of Processing Resources – Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) system. In consideration of the license agreement, Cytta was issued 5,100,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock and will receive a royalty of five percent of net sales of licensed product revenues and licensed service revenues over a ten-year period for any products containing their content.

 

On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement with Basestones Capital Ltd., for the purchase of US Patent No. 9,451,291 (Fast DWT-Based Intermediate Codec Optimized For Massively Parallel Architecture), issued on September 20, 2016, and the developed source code related to the patent. The Company made a one-time payment of $200,000 for the patent.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company compares the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Impairment loss on long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.
