PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, _________________, 2017

 

ZENERGY BRANDS, INC.

 

212,423,706 Shares

 

Of

 

Class A Common Stock

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 212,423,706 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), by the selling stockholders named herein (each, a “Selling Stockholder” and collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”). Included in this amount are up to 155,756,579 shares of our Common Stock that we are registering for resale by Bellridge Capital, LP (“Bellridge”). Of these shares, 150,000,000 are issuable to Bellridge under an equity line in the amount of $2,500,000 (the “Equity Line”) established by the Bellridge Securities Purchase Agreement, as more fully described in this prospectus. An additional 5,756,579 shares were issued to Bellridge as a commitment fee. Also included in this amount are up to 56,667,127 shares of our Common Stock that we are registering for resale by certain Selling Stockholders that are issuable to such Selling Stockholders upon conversion of certain convertible promissory notes and upon exercise of a warrant to purchase up to 920,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). This prospectus may be used by the Selling Stockholders to resell, from time to time, those shares of our Common Stock included herein. For information about the Selling Stockholders, see “Selling Stockholders” on page 56. Our Common Stock is presently quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the trading symbol “ZNGY.” On November 6, 2017, the last sale price of our Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets was $0.0145 per share.

 

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from our sale of our shares of Common Stock under the Equity Line to Bellridge and upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Selling Stockholders may sell the shares of Common Stock described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

The Selling Stockholders, and any participating broker-dealers, are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute their Common Stock. We will be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; provided, however, that we will not be required to pay any underwriters’ discounts or commissions relating to the securities covered by the registration statement.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and we will be subject to reduced public reporting requirements. See “Emerging Growth Company Status.”

 

Persons effecting transactions in the shares should confirm the registration of these securities under the securities laws of the states in which transactions occur or the existence of applicable exemptions from such registration.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements we make concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Some forward-looking statements appear under the headings “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” When used in this prospectus, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “foresees,” “seeks,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “goal,” “target” or “intends” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of any such words) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this prospectus.

 

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. However, these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things, the matters discussed in this prospectus in the sections captioned “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:

 

limitations on our ability to continue operations and implement our business plan;
   
our history of operating losses;
   
the timing of and our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms;
   
the effects of changing economic conditions;
   
the loss of members of the management team or other key personnel;
   
competition from larger, more established companies with greater economic resources than we have;
   
costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims, which may not be covered by insurance;
   
costs and damages relating to pending and future litigation;
   
the impact of additional legal and regulatory interpretations and rulemaking and our success in taking action to mitigate such impacts;
   
control by our principal equity holders; and
   
the other factors set forth herein, including those set forth under “Risk Factors.”

 

There are likely other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us in this prospectus apply only as of the date of this prospectus and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. All later written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or a person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the reports we file with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. You should carefully read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, particularly the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

However, this prospectus includes industry data that we obtained from internal surveys, market research, publicly available information and industry publications. The market research, publicly available information and industry publications that we use generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. The information therein represents the most recently available data from the relevant sources and publications and we believe remains reliable.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights material information concerning our business and this offering. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making your investment decision. You should carefully read the entire prospectus and the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the information presented under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the financial data and related notes, before making an investment decision. This summary contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from future results contemplated in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors such as those set forth in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

In this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, the “Company,” “Zenergy,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to Zenergy Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries.

 

Our Company

 

We are a business-to-business company, whose business platform is a combined offering of energy services and smart controls. Our business model is based upon the belief that these two aspects, combined with an ever-increasing commercial demand for more sustainable business practices will continue to be burgeoning trends. Historically, services such as electricity and natural gas have been provided by monopoly based companies; these legacy entities are in the business of selling commodity and related services and naturally, selling as much of these (kilo-watt-hours of electricity and thermal units of natural gas) as possible. In some cases, it has been this way for nearly a century. However, the growing demand from commercial and municipal entities for responsible energy, more control and transparency, and overall sustainability, have proven to be at odds with the mission of these legacy entities. Zenergy offers a unique value proposition to commercial, industrial, and municipal customers whereby we offer a means to reduce their utility expenses anywhere from 20% up to 60% through energy-efficient and smart control products and services.

 

Toward making our claim in the marketplace, we have built a service offering that we have deemed “Energy as a Service” and/or “Sustainability as a Service”. We also have plans to complement this offering by launching a “Retail Energy Platform” that, when combined, are expected to position us to become a provider of a unique suite of energy usage and management products and services to commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers which we refer to as “target customers”. Currently, we (i) provide energy brokerage and procurement services, (ii) sell commercial energy conservation equipment, load factor improvement technologies, HVAC & Refrigeration based technologies, LED lighting and lighting controls, and (iii) plan to sell commercial energy utility services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade Electric, LLC (“Enertrade”), a Texas based Retail Electric Provider as further discussed below.

 

The foundation of our unique selling proposition is based on our Zero Cost Program. This is a turnkey solution that enables our target customers to upgrade their older, inefficient customer premise equipment and assets, allowing for installation of energy-efficient retrofits such as HVAC and refrigeration motor controllers, load factor improvement technologies, building-envelope-based technologies, weatherization-based technologies, smart controls, and LED lighting, all at no up-front cost to them. The Zero Cost Program will be facilitated through an industry standard agreement referred to as a Managed Energy Services Agreement (“MESA”). Under the MESA, Zenergy will be obligated to develop, arrange financing for, install and maintain all energy efficiency measures and equipment installed by Zenergy. Zenergy will retain ownership of all installed equipment. The minimum term of the MESA is expected to be five years with an expected average of seven years. Under the terms of the MESA, our customers will be obligated to pay us a portion of their savings in utility costs following the installation of our equipment; these are referred to as “Service Payments”. Service Payments are expected to be fixed payments made on a monthly basis over the term of the agreement from the customer to Zenergy and these payments are expected to scale down over the term of the MESA, allowing the customer to reap more and more of the dollar savings from the respective utility company each year.

 

Effectuating a successful MESA will require us to implement credit review and standard underwriting procedures. This process includes, but is not limited to, the following: standard credit screening provided by credit reporting agencies (i.e. Experian), business profile reports from Dun & Bradstreet, review of trade credit and references, confirmation that client has been in operation for greater than 10 years, and our proprietary review and assessment of historical accounting records and industry landscape. In order for Zenergy to effectively market, sell, and implement MESAs, Zenergy must utilize third-party financing entities to provide project and strategic financing toward fulfilling its working capital requirements to acquire and install the equipment required under the MESA. For this reason, we engaged in discussions with advisors and investment banks for the purpose of procuring a long-term and scalable financing solution for this aspect of our business.

With respect to our retail energy plans, through a Texas PUC approved and licensed “Retail Electric Provider” or “REP”, we plan to target end-use customers in the commercial and industrial sectors. While many of our customers are expected to be existing Zero Cost Customers, we also plan to market our retail electricity service in general. Members of our management team have experience in building Retail Electric Providers. We believe that this experience and industry expertise will help us build a viable and well-rounded energy services company, with a large emphasis on conservation and sustainability. Furthermore, we believe that the combination of our energy conservation products and our ability to provide retail energy services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade will provide us with a significant advantage over our competitors. We believe that this combination will allow us to offer a very unique value proposition to the customer.

 

We do not know whether we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy or whether our business strategy will ultimately be successful. Our growth strategy is largely dependent on our ability to secure project financing for the Zero Cost contracts currently in our pipeline and develop synergies with that business following the completion of our plan to engage in the sale of electric energy to retail customers in Texas by acquiring Enertrade. As is typically the case involving products and service offerings, anticipation of demand and market acceptance are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The success of our products and planned service offerings primarily depends on consumer interest and acceptance. In general, achieving market acceptance for our products and planned energy utility services will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, which we may not have available, to create awareness and demand among customers and clients. Furthermore, the completion of the acquisition of Enertrade is dependent on our ability to raise the funds we need to complete the purchase and complete the conditions to closing discussed below. See “Description of Business—Zenergy Power & Gas, Inc.”

 

Recent Developments

 

Corporate Name Change and Share Increase

 

As part of our rebranding and marketing efforts focused on our energy and smart controls business, our board of directors unanimously approved on October 18, 2017 the change of our corporate name from The CHRON Organization, Inc. to Zenergy Brands, Inc. In addition, the board of directors unanimously approved on October 18, 2017 to increase our authorized Class A Common Stock from 1,450,000,000 shares to 1,700,000,000 shares, which such shares will be issuable on such terms and conditions as the board of directors may determine from time to time. Subsequent to our board of directors’ approval of these amendments, the holders of a majority of the voting power of our voting stock, on October 18, 2017 approved, by written consent, the amendments. The consenting stockholders and their respective approximate ownership percentages of our voting stock totaled an aggregate of 78.8% of the outstanding voting stock. In addition, we changed our ticker symbol on the OTCQB to “ZNGY”.

 

The amendments and ticker symbol change discussed above became effective on December 1, 2017 following the completion of processing by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

 

Bellridge Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On November 3, 2017, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Bellridge, pursuant to which Bellridge has agreed to purchase from us up to $2,500,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations from time to time over a 24-month period commencing four trading days after the date of effectiveness of a registration statement which provides for the resale of such shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The shares issuable to Bellridge under the Equity Purchase Agreement are being offered pursuant to this prospectus. The likelihood that the Company will receive the full amount of proceeds available under the Equity Purchase Agreement and its reliance on Bellridge as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. At a price per share of $0.009, the Company would have to issue 277,777,778 shares to access the full $2,500,000 available under the agreement with Bellridge (the “Total Commitment”). No fees or commissions are required to be paid upon the sale to Bellridge of these shares. The Company agreed to reimburse Bellridge $12,500 for legal fees incurred in connection with this transaction.

 

    2  

 

 

Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement which provides for the resale of the shares, we may direct Bellridge, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $250,000 of shares (each a “Draw Down”) that is no more than 300% of the average trading volume of our common stock during the 10-day period immediately prior to the Draw Down. The purchase price of the shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement is 80% multiplied by the lowest trade price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to each Draw Down notice representing a 20% discount.

 

As consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, we issued Bellridge 5,756,579 shares of common stock.

 

The Company also entered into a memorandum of understanding with Bellridge dated as of November 3, 2017 (the “MOU”). The MOU requires the Company to, among other things, file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Commission (the “Debenture Registration Statement”) on or before December 25, 2017 to register the resale by Bellridge of all Debenture Registrable Securities. “Debenture Registrable Securities” means (i) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures issued to Bellridge by the Company (collectively the “Debentures”) including the 10% Original Issue Convertible Debenture issued by the Company to Bellridge on March 17, 2017 and the 10% original Issue Convertible Debenture issued by the Company to Bellridge on June 20, 2017 and (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the exercise of warrants issued to Bellridge by the Company (the “Warrants”) as of the date of the MOU; subject to any limits that may be imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and provided that a share of Common Stock shall cease to be a Debenture Registrable Security upon the earliest to occur of the following: (a) its sale pursuant to the Debenture Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (B) it becomes eligible for resale by its holder under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required thereunder and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. If the Company has not filed the Debenture Registration Statement with the Commission by December 25, 2017 (unless the registration of the Debenture Registrable Securities is prohibited by the Securities and Exchange Commission) or the Debenture Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission by February 28, 2018, then (a) the face amount of each of the outstanding Debentures shall increase by 150%, (b) the Purchaser may declare an event of default under the Debentures and (c) the Purchaser may avail itself of any other rights and remedies it has under the Debenture, or at law or otherwise. The rights provided in this section are in addition to and not in lieu of any rights the Purchaser has under the Securities Purchase Agreements, between the Purchaser and the Company, entered into in connection with the Debentures and Warrants. In the event that the Commission prohibits the Debenture Registration Statement, then the penalties in the MOU shall not apply, and the Company agrees to repay the Debentures pursuant to the documentation entered into on March 17, 2017 and June 20, 2017 (as referenced above).

 

Greentree Financial Financing

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Financial Advisory Agreement with Greentree Financial Group, Inc. (“Greentree”) whereby Greentree agreed to provide financial advisory services to the Company including reviewing target company acquisitions and due diligence, financial review, and assistance with consolidated accounting for acquisitions and perform such other work as requested by the Company. The Company agreed to pay Greentree the sum of $25,000 for such services by issuing Greentree a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $25,000 due July 31, 2018 (the “Greentree Advisory Note”). The Greentree Advisory Note bears interest rate of 8% per annum and is due on July 31, 2018. The Greentree Advisory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the maturity date with a penalty of 10% of the sum of the outstanding principal and interest provided that the Company shall provide the holder with 15 days’ prior written notice of its intent to prepay. Holder shall have the option to elect to convert at any time prior to prepayment. The holder has the right, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the conversion price. The per share conversion price is equal to the lowest per share trading price for the 20-day trading period prior to the conversion date multiplied by 60%; however, the conversion price shall not be less than $0.001. The Greentree 10% OID Notes (as defined below) are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Advisory Note or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.9% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company. Further, the holder of the Greentree Advisory Note may not convert the note if such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock to exceed 9.9%. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the holder’s non-accountable legal fees and certificate processing cost by adding $1,500 to the principal amount of each conversion but in no event, shall the total conversion costs exceed $10,000.

On August 1, 2017 (the “Greentree Original Issue Date”), the Company entered into and closed on the transaction set forth in the Loan Agreement (the “Greentree Loan Agreement”) it entered into with Greentree for the sale of the Company’s 10% original issue discount convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $425,000 and warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.035 per share. Pursuant to the Greentree Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Greentree upon closing for a purchase price of $67,500: (i) 10% Original Issue Discount 8% Convertible Note (the “Greentree 10% OID Notes”) in the principal amount of $75,000 (the “Greentree Note”); and (ii) warrants (the “Greentree Warrants”) to purchase 4,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.035 per share (subject to adjustments under certain conditions as defined in the Greentree Warrants). The Greentree Loan Agreement provides that Greentree shall purchase, subject to its approval in its sole discretion, an additional Greentree 10% OID Note in the principal amount of $100,000 upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part (the “Second Greentree Note”) and an additional Greentree 10% OID Note in the principal amount of $250,000 upon the Company reaching a sales goal of $1,000,000 in any fiscal quarter. The maturity date of the note is July 31, 2018 and the maturity date of the additional Greentree 10% OID Notes will be 12 months from the date of such note. The Company agreed to pay Greentree $2,000 at closing for Greentree’s legal document preparation and requires the Company to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), among other things.

Pursuant to the Vista Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Vista upon closing for a purchase price of $220,000: (i) 20% Original Issue Discount 8% Convertible Note (the “Vista” 20% OID Notes”) in the principal amount of $220,000 (the “Note”); and (ii) security purchase agreement to issue 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company agreed to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), among other things. The Vista 20% OID Notes are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Vista 20% OID Notes or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.9% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased by the holder upon 61 days notice to the Company. Further, the holder of the Vista 20% OID Notes may not convert the note if such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock to exceed 9.9%.

Crown Bridge Financing – November 2017

 

Effective on November 15, 2017, the Company completed the sale to Crown Bridge of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $138,000 (the “November 2017 Crown Bridge Note” or “note”) and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 920,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant”), both of which were dated November 3, 2017. Crown Bridge purchased the note and agreed to pay aggregate consideration of up to $120,000 with an original issue discount of $18,000 in tranches as follows: $46,000 of principal amount was funded by payment of $40,000 on the effective date and the balance may be funded in Crown Bridge’s sole discretion at any time. The first tranche of funding under the November 2017 Crown Bridge Note carries a prorated original issue discount of $6,000.00 and bears interest at the rate of 5% per year. Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the note at a rate per annum equal to 5% on the basis of a 365-day year. Any amount of principal or interest on this note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) twelve (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid. The principal amount of the note and interest are payable on the maturity date which is 12 months after the funding date of each tranche.

 

Crown Bridge is entitled to, at any time or from time to time, convert the Note into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price per share equal to sixty percent (60%) of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the note. The conversion price of the note is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if we issue or sell convertible promissory notes that are convertible for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect or includes a longer look back period than provided in the note. If this should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable or in the case of a more favorable look back period, the look back period shall be adjusted to such greater number of days. The note contains representations, warranties, events of default, beneficial ownership limitations, prepayment options, and other provisions that are customary of similar instruments.

 

The note is not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by Crown Bridge and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the note or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by Investor of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by Crown Bridge upon 61 days notice to us.

 

The November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years and entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The exercise price of the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. In addition, the exercise price of provided for in the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect. If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. In addition, the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant may become exercisable on a cashless basis if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the exercise price then in effect. Market price means the highest traded price of our Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of any exercise notice issued by the holder of the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant.

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We elected to take advantage of all of these exemptions.

 

    11  

 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until those standards are applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We will be an emerging growth company until the last day of the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first common equity offering, although we will lose that status earlier if our annual revenues exceed $1.0 billion, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in any three-year period or if we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

The Company has accounted for discontinued operations prior to January 1, 2016 under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . Under this guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. In November 2015, we exited the restaurant industry and has shifted its strategy to energy conservation and smart control services. Management believes this adequately qualifies as a strategic shift under Update No. 2014-08. As of December 31, 2015, we did not generated any revenue from our new services. A reconciliation of amounts included in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 is as follows:

 

    2015  
Revenue   $ 20,100

RISK FACTORS

 

Investment in our securities involves a number of substantial risks. You should not invest in our securities unless you are able to bear the complete loss of your investment. In addition to the risks and investment considerations discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, the following factors should be carefully considered by anyone purchasing the securities offered through this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and investors could lose all or a part of their investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

Our limited operating history and our failure since inception to achieve an operating profit makes our future prospects and financial performance unpredictable.

 

We commenced selling retail smart home technologies in 2016 and, as a result, we have a limited operating history upon which a potential investor can evaluate our prospects and the potential value of an investment in our company. Moreover, we have shifted our focus from the selling of smart home technologies in early 2017, transitioning to focus on commercial customers, while utilizing our smart controls platform to focus on energy conservation products and services. Our plans to continue pursuing the purchase of the aforementioned Enertrade Electric REP have remained, however, our focus will be on acquiring commercial, industrial and municipal customers. We remain subject to the risks inherently associated with new business enterprises. Our prospects are subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, including the risk that we will not be able to implement our business strategy. If we are unable to implement our business strategy and grow our business, our business will be materially adversely affected.

 

A significant disruption in our computer systems or a cyber security breach could adversely affect our operations.

 

We rely extensively on our computer systems to manage our business. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, cyber security breaches, vandalism, severe weather conditions, catastrophic events and human error, and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. If our systems are damaged, fail to function properly or otherwise become unavailable, we may incur substantial costs to repair or replace them, and may experience loss of critical data and interruptions or delays in our ability to perform critical functions, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Any compromise of our security could also result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, loss or misuse of the information and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could harm our business.

 

Our ability to protect the confidential information of our customers and investors may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions.

 

We process certain sensitive data from our customers and investors. While we have taken steps to protect confidential information that we receive or have access to, our security measures could be breached. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our systems could cause confidential borrower and investor information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our software are exposed and exploited, our relationships with borrowers and investors could be severely damaged, and we could incur significant liability.

 

Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, federal regulators and many federal and state laws and regulations require companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause borrowers and investors to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation, we could lose borrowers and investors and our business and operations could be adversely affected.

 

Any significant disruption in service on our platform or in our computer systems, including events beyond our control, could prevent us from processing or posting payments on loans, reduce the attractiveness of our marketplace and result in a loss of borrowers or investors.

 

    14  

 

 

In the event of a system outage and physical data loss, our ability to perform our obligations and conduct our business would be materially and adversely affected. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology are critical to our operations, customer service, reputation and our ability to attract new and retain existing borrowers and investors.

 

Any interruptions or delays in our service, whether as a result of third-party error, our error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm our relationships with our customers and investors and our reputation. Additionally, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage. These factors could prevent us from conducting our business, damage our brand and reputation, divert our employees’ attention, reduce our revenue, subject us to liability and cause customers and investors to abandon our company, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we lose the services of any of our key management personnel, our business could suffer.

 

Our future success significantly depends on the continued service and performance of Mr. Rodriguez, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Young, our Chairman of the Board and Treasurer. Competition for these employees is intense and we may not be able to attract and retain key personnel. We do not maintain any “key man” or other related insurance. The loss of the service of Mr. Rodriguez or Mr. Young, or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel as needed, could materially harm our business.

 

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, increased costs as a result of being a public reporting company.

 

On June 20, 2017, we became a public reporting company. As a public reporting company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a non-reporting company, including costs associated with our SEC reporting requirements. We expect that the additional reporting and other obligations imposed on us under the Exchange Act, will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of our related legal, accounting and administrative activities significantly. Management estimates that compliance with the Exchange Act reporting requirements as a reporting company will cost in excess of $75,000 annually. Given our current financial resources, these additional compliance costs could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and ability to achieve profitable results. These increased costs will require us to divert money that we could otherwise use to expand our business and achieve our strategic objectives.

 

Our industry is highly competitive.

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry. We face competition from much larger and more established commercial energy efficiency & conservation companies (i.e. Schneider Electric, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Sempra Energy) that have or may have greater capital and other resources than us. Competitors that are larger in scale and have greater resources may benefit from greater economies of scale and other lower costs that permit them to offer more favorable terms to consumers (including lower service costs) than we offer, causing such consumers to choose to enter into contracts with such competitors. These alternatives may influence customers’ desire to subscribe to our services at rates and fees we consider appropriate. These competitors may also benefit from greater name recognition and superior advertising, marketing, promotional and other resources. To the extent that such competitors utilize any competitive advantages in markets where our business is more highly concentrated, the negative impact on our business may increase over time. In addition to potentially reducing the number of new customers we are able to originate; increased competition could also result in increased customer acquisition costs and higher attrition or customer default rates that could negatively impact us over time. The benefit offered to larger competitors from economies of scale and other lower costs may be magnified by an economic downturn in which customers put a greater emphasis on lower cost products or services. In addition, we face competition from regional competitors that concentrate their capital and other resources in targeting local markets.

 

Pricing pressure from these competitors or failure to achieve pricing based on the competitive advantages previously identified above could prevent us from maintaining competitive price points for our products and services resulting in lost customers or in our inability to attract new customers and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

    15  

 

 

We rely on long-term contractual obligations of customers and customer attrition can have a material adverse effect on our results.

 

Like many businesses, our business is subject to macroeconomic and demographic factors that may negatively impact the results of operations. For example, an economic recession, regardless of severity, could adversely affect our customers’ ability to honor their payment obligations, or worse, may force them into bankruptcy. Moreover, potential problems with the quality of our products or services, unfavorable publicity, and preference for lower pricing/cost models of similar products or services offered by our competitors may increase customer attrition. As a result of all these factors, we may fail to retain our customers for a sufficient period of time to be profitable, meaning the financial condition of our business and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

In addition, we amortize or depreciate our capitalized customer acquisition costs based on the estimated life of the customer relationship. If attrition rates rise significantly, we may be required to accelerate the amortization of expenses or the depreciation of assets related to such customers or to impair such assets, which could adversely impact our reported GAAP financial results.

 

Litigation, complaints or adverse publicity could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

From time to time, we engage in the defense of, and may in the future be subject to, certain investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business. Any resulting actions or negative customer sentiment or publicity could reduce the volume of our new customer originations or increase attrition of existing customers. Any of the foregoing may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

We are highly dependent on our ability to attract, train, and retain an effective sales force and other key personnel.

 

Our business is highly dependent on our ability to attract, train and retain an effective sales force, for both full time employee positions and independent contractor opportunities. In addition, because sales representatives become more productive as they gain experience, retaining those individuals is very important for our success. If we are unable to attract, train and retain an effective sales force, our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, our business is dependent on our ability to attract and retain other key personnel in other critical areas of our business. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel in our business, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

 

We must successfully upgrade and maintain our information technology systems.

 

We rely on various information technology systems to manage our operations. There are inherent costs and risks associated with maintaining, modifying and/or changing these systems and implementing new systems, including potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate our systems, demands on management time and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. In addition, our information technology system implementations may not result in productivity improvements at a level that outweighs the costs of implementation, or at all. The implementation of new information technology systems may also cause disruptions in our business operations and have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows and operations.

 

Privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

In the course of our operations, we gather, process, transmit and store customer information, including personal, payment, credit, utility usage and other confidential and private information. We use some of this information for operational, forecasting, risk management and marketing purposes in accordance with our privacy and data protection policies. We also rely on proprietary and commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to protect against unauthorized use or access of such information.

 

Our collection, retention, transfer and use of this information are regulated by privacy and data protection laws and regulations, industry standards and protocols. Our compliance with these various requirements increases our operating costs, and additional laws, regulations, standards or protocols (or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations) in these areas may further increase our operating costs and adversely affect our ability to effectively market our products and services. Our failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations, standards or protocols could result in a loss of customer data, fines, sanctions and other liabilities and additional restrictions on our collection, transfer or use of customer data. In addition, our failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations, standards or protocols could result in a material adverse effect on our reputation, customer attrition, new customer origination, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Criminals and other nefarious actors are using increasingly sophisticated methods, including cyber-attacks, to capture or alter various types of information relating to customers, to engage in illegal activities such as fraud and identity theft, and to expose and exploit potential security and privacy vulnerabilities in corporate systems and web sites. Unauthorized intrusion into the portions of our systems and data storage devices that process and store customer confidential and private information, or the loss of such information, may result in negative consequences. In addition, third parties, including our partners and vendors, could also be a source of security risk to us in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure. Moreover, we cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology protecting the networks that access our products and services. Any such compromises or breaches to the systems or loss of data, whether by us, our partners and vendors, or other third parties or as a result of employee error or malfeasance or otherwise, could cause interruptions in operations and damage to our reputation, subject us to costs and liabilities and materially and adversely affect sales, revenues and profits, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

We are subject to payment related risks.

 

We accept payments using a variety of methods, including credit card, debit card, direct debit from customer’s bank account, and consumer invoicing. For existing and future payment options, we offer to our customers, we may become subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements, and fraudulent attacks. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower profitability. We rely on third parties to provide payment-processing services, including the processing of credit cards, debit cards, and electronic checks, and it could disrupt our business if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us. We are also subject to payment card association operating rules, including data security rules, certification requirements, and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, or if our data security systems are breached or compromised, we may be liable for card issuing banks’ costs, subject to fines and higher transaction fees, and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from our customers, process electronic funds transfers, or facilitate other types of online payments, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected. See “—Privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data could have a material adverse effect on our business.”

 

We may fail to obtain or maintain necessary licenses or otherwise fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

 

Our business is subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements and may become subject to additional such requirements in the future. Although we believe we are in material compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements, in the event that these laws, regulations or licensing requirements change, we may be required to modify our operations or to utilize resources to maintain compliance with such laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with such laws, regulations or licensing requirements as may be in effect from time to time could have a material adverse effect on us. If we expand the scope of our products or services, or our operations in new markets, we may be required to obtain additional licenses and otherwise maintain compliance with additional laws, regulations or licensing requirements.

 

Our business operates in changing market environments influenced by various state and federal legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding the restructuring of the energy industry, including competition in the generation and sale of energy and natural gas. We will need to continually adapt to these changes. Any such change in governmental regulations and legislation could negatively impact our financial operations.

 

Increased adoption of laws purporting to characterize certain charges in our customer contracts as unlawful, may adversely affect our operations.

 

If customers’ cancel prior to the end of the initial term of the contract, other than in accordance with the contract, we may, under the terms of the customer contract, charge the customer the amount that would have been paid over the remaining term of the contract. Several states have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws restricting the charges that can be imposed upon contract cancellation prior to the end of the initial contract term. Such initiatives could negatively impact our business and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Adverse rulings regarding these matters could increase legal exposure to customers against whom such charges have been imposed and the risk that certain customers may seek to recover such charges from us through litigation or otherwise. In addition, the costs of defending such litigation and enforcement actions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

    17  

 

 

The technology we employ may become obsolete, which could require significant capital expenditures.

 

Our industry is subject to continual technological innovation. Our products and services interact with the hardware and software technology of systems and devices located at our customers’ properties. We may be required to implement new technologies or adapt existing technologies in response to changing market conditions, customer preferences, industry standards or inability to secure necessary intellectual property licenses, which could require significant capital expenditures. It is also possible that one or more of our competitors could develop a significant technical advantage that allows them to provide additional or superior products or services, or to lower their price for similar products or services, that could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Our inability to adapt to changing technologies, market conditions or customer preferences in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Our future operating and financial results are uncertain.

 

We have a limited operating history and we are unable to predict our future performance. Our future performance and operating results depend on, among other things: (i) our ability to procure a scalable funding solution with respect to project financing for our Zero Cost customer contracts, (ii) our ability to acquire new customers, including our ability to scale the number of new customers generated through inside sales and other channels; (iii) our ability to successfully develop and market new and innovative products and services; (iv) the level of product, service and price competition; (v) the degree of saturation in, and our ability to further penetrate, existing markets; (vi) our ability to manage growth, revenues, origination or acquisition costs of new customers and attrition rates, the cost of servicing our existing customers and general and administrative costs; and (vii) our ability to attract, train and retain qualified employees. If our future operating and financial results suffer as a result of any of the other reasons mentioned above, or any other reasons, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Our business is subject to macroeconomic, microeconomic and demographic factors that may negatively impact our results of operations.

 

Our business is generally dependent on national, regional and local economic conditions. Historically, both the U.S. and worldwide economies have experienced cyclical economic downturns, some of which have been prolonged and severe. These economic downturns have generally coincided with, and contributed to, increased energy costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence and spending, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. These conditions and concerns result in a decline in business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment.

 

We cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the specific markets where our customers are located.

 

Our inside sales channel depends on third parties and other sources that we do not control to generate leads that we then convert into customers. If our third-party partners and lead generators are not successful in generating leads for our inside sales channel, if the quality of those leads deteriorates, or if we are unable to generate leads through other sources that are cost effective and successfully convert into customers, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or and results of operations.

 

Also, our customers consist largely of business owners and small commercial enterprises, who are subject to economic, credit, financial and other risks, as applicable. These risks could materially and adversely affect a customer’s ability to make required payments to us on a timely basis. Any such decrease or delay in customer payments may have a material adverse effect on us. As a result of financial distress, customers may apply for relief under bankruptcy and other laws relating to creditors’ rights. In addition, customers may be subject to involuntary application of such bankruptcy and other laws relating to creditors’ rights. The bankruptcy of a customer could adversely affect our ability to collect payments, to protect our rights, and otherwise realize the value of our contract with the customer. This may occur as a result of, among other things, application of the automatic stay, delays and uncertainty in the bankruptcy process and potential rejection of such customer contracts. Our customers’ inability to pay, whether as a result of economic or credit issues, bankruptcy or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or and results of operations.

 

    18  

 

 

We depend on a limited number of suppliers to provide our products and services. Our product suppliers, in turn, rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide significant components and materials used in our products. A change in our existing preferred supply arrangements or a material interruption in supply of products or third-party services could increase our costs or prevent or limit our ability to accept and fill orders for our products and services.

 

We source and purchase important components of our energy conservation solutions from a myriad of different suppliers and manufacturers. Should such suppliers cease to manufacture the products we purchase from them or become unable to timely deliver these products in accordance with our requirements, or should they choose not to do business with us, we may be required to locate alternative suppliers. In addition, any financial or other difficulties our suppliers face may have negative effects on our business. We may be unable to locate alternate suppliers on a timely basis or to negotiate the purchase of respective materials and/or equipment on favorable terms, if at all. If any of these suppliers cease to or are unable to provide components and materials in sufficient quantity and of the requisite quality, and if there are not adequate alternative sources of supply, we could experience significant delays in the supply of equipment. Any such delay in the supply of equipment of the requisite quality could adversely affect our ability to originate and/or on-board customers in a timely manner. This would result in delays in or loss of future revenues and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Also, if previously installed components and materials were found to be defective, we might not be able to recover the costs associated with the recall, repair or replacement of such products, across our installed customer base, and the diversion of personnel and other resources to address such issues could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

We rely on certain third-party providers of licensed software and services integral to the operations of our business.

 

Certain aspects of the operation of our business depend on third-party software and service providers. We rely on certain software technology that we license from third parties and use in our products and services to perform key functions and provide critical functionality. With regard to licensed software technology, we are, to a certain extent, dependent upon the ability of third parties to maintain, enhance or develop their software and services on a timely and cost-effective basis, to meet industry technological standards and innovations to deliver software and services that are free of defects or security vulnerabilities, and to ensure their software and services are free from disruptions or interruptions. Further, these third-party services and software licenses may not always be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

If our agreements with third-party software or services vendors are not renewed or the third-party software or services become obsolete, fail to function properly, are incompatible with future versions of our products or services, are defective or otherwise fail to address our needs, there is no assurance that we would be able to replace the functionality provided by the third-party software or services with software or services from alternative providers. Furthermore, even if we obtain licenses to alternative software or services that provide the functionality we need, we may be required to replace hardware installed at our customers’ businesses, including peripherals, to affect our integration of or migration to alternative software products. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

We are highly dependent on the proper and efficient functioning of our computer, data back-up, information technology, wireless networks and processing systems, platform and monitoring systems.

 

Our ability to keep our business operating is highly dependent on the proper and efficient operation of our computer systems, information technology systems, data-processing systems, and our own internal intellectual property including but not limited to CRM, ERP and energy risk management software platforms. Although we depend on redundant central monitoring facilities, back-up computer and power systems and disaster recovery tests, if there is a catastrophic event, natural disaster, security breach, negligent or intentional act by an employee or other extraordinary event, we may be unable to provide our customers with uninterrupted services. Furthermore, because computer and data back-up and processing systems are susceptible to malfunctions and interruptions, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience service failures in the future. A significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of any computer or data back-up and processing system could adversely affect our ability to keep our operations running efficiently and respond to alarm system signals. If a malfunction results in a wider or sustained disruption, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

    19  

 

 

We are subject to unionization and labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.

 

Currently, none of our employees are represented by a union. Attempts may be made to organize all or part of our employee base. As we continue to grow, and enter different regions, unions may make further attempts to organize all or part of our employee base. If some or all of our workforce were to become unionized, and the terms of the collective bargaining agreement were significantly different from our current compensation arrangements, it could increase our costs and adversely impact our profitability. Additionally, responding to such organization attempts could distract our management and result in increased legal and other professional fees; and, potential labor union contracts could put us at increased risk of labor strikes and disruption of our operations.

 

Our business is subject to a variety of employment laws and regulations and may become subject to additional such requirements in the future. Although we believe we are in material compliance with applicable employment laws and regulations, in the event of a change in requirements, we may be required to modify our operations or to utilize resources to maintain compliance with such laws and regulations. Moreover, we may be subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual or class actions or government enforcement actions relating to alleged employment discrimination, employee classification and related withholding, wage-hour, labor standards or healthcare and benefit issues. Our failure to comply with applicable employment laws and regulations and related legal actions against us, may affect our ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Product or service defects or shortfalls in customer service could have an adverse effect on us.

 

Our inability to provide products, services or customer service in a timely manner or defects with our products or services, including products and services of third parties that we incorporate into our offerings, could adversely affect our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation. In addition, our inability to meet customers’ expectations with respect to our products, services or customer service could increase attrition rates or affect our ability to generate new customers and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.

 

We are exposed to greater risk of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failure, than may be inherent in other businesses

 

The nature of the products and services we provide potentially exposes us to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures than may be inherent in other businesses. If customers believe that they incurred losses as a result of our action or inaction, the customers (or their insurers) have and could in the future bring claims against us. Although our service contracts contain provisions limiting our liability for such claims, no assurance can be given that these limitations will be enforced, and the costs of such litigation or the related settlements or judgments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that we are adequately insured for these risks. Certain of our insurance policies and the laws of some states may limit or prohibit insurance coverage for punitive or certain other types of damages or liability arising from gross negligence. If significant uninsured damages are assessed against us, the resulting liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Insurance policies may not cover all of our operating risks and a casualty loss beyond the limits of our coverage could negatively impact our business.

 

We are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to the provision of our products and services and business operations. In addition to contractual provisions limiting our liability to customers and third parties, we maintain insurance policies in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as required by law and that we believe are reasonable and prudent. See “—We are exposed to greater risk of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failure, than may be inherent in other businesses.” Nevertheless, such insurance may not be adequate to protect us from all the liabilities and expenses that may arise from claims for personal injury, death or property damage arising in the ordinary course of our business and current levels of insurance may not be able to be maintained or available at economical prices. If a significant liability claim is brought against us that is not covered by insurance, then we may have to pay the claim with our own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

    20  

 

 

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

 

Unforeseen events, or the prospect of such events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues including health epidemics or pandemics and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and climate conditions, whether occurring in the U.S. or elsewhere, could disrupt our operations, disrupt the operations of suppliers or have an adverse effect on our customers’ operations or impact their ability to continue to make respective service payments, or could result in political or economic instability. These events could reduce demand for our products and services, make it difficult or impossible to receive equipment from suppliers or impair our ability to deliver products and services to customers on a timely basis. Any such disruption could damage our reputation and cause customer attrition. We could be subject to claims or litigation with respect to losses caused by such disruptions. Our property and business interruption insurance may not cover a particular event at all or be sufficient to fully cover our losses.

 

We are required, from time to time, to place our employees and technicians at our customers’ properties to install products or provide services, which could give rise to claims against us .

 

If we fail to properly install our products or provide our services to any of our customers, we could damage or cause a material adverse change to a customer’s premise, equipment and/or property, which could give rise to claims against us. This could include, but not be limited to any of the following; possible claims of errors and omissions based on the alleged actions of our personnel, including harassment, theft of client property, criminal activity and other claims. Furthermore, we may be exposed to risks associated with product liability claims in the event that the use or installation of our products and services results in injury or damage, and we may have limited insurance coverage to protect against such claims. As a distributor of multiple product lines, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims or class action suits in the event that the use of the certain products we sell or install results in injury or damage. The risk of any such claims arising against the Company may contribute to the loss of customers and have a negative impact on the business and/or results of operations.

 

We generally rely on the infrastructure of local utilities or independent transmission system operators to provide electricity to, and to obtain information about, our customers .

 

Any utility infrastructure failure could negatively impact our customer satisfaction, our operation, our financial operation and/or could have an overall general material negative impact on its business and results of operations.

 

Our conservation products have not been sold on a focused basis to a mass market audience (small and mid-commercial entities) before, and it is not certain whether they will be accepted by the market .

 

If our products are not accepted by the market, our business plans, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will suffer.

 

Regarding operations as an REP; revenues and results of operations may be negatively impacted by price volatility in market prices for power, natural gas prices, and/or decreases in market heat rates .

 

Profits from our operation depend largely on market prices for energy and natural gas and prevailing retail energy and natural gas rates. Market prices may fluctuate substantially over relatively short periods of time and demand for energy and natural gas can fluctuate dramatically. Also, at times, there may be political pressure, or pressure from regulatory authorities to impose price limitations, bidding rules and other mechanisms to address volatility and other issues in these markets. Wholesale energy prices also correlate with market heat rates (a measure of efficiency of the marginal price-setting generator of energy), which could be diminished if demand for energy decreased or if additional generation facilities are built in areas where we operate. All of these various drivers could have adverse effects on profits, revenues and operating margins for REP’s.

 

Our assets or positions cannot be fully hedged against changes in commodity prices and market heat rates, and hedging transactions may not work as planned or hedge counterparties may default on their obligations.

 

As an REP, we cannot always fully hedge for our retail obligations (energy risk), when there are changes in natural gas prices or market heat rates because of the size of its position relative to market liquidity. To the extent that our REP has unhedged positions, fluctuating commodity prices and/or market heat rates can materially impact the results of our operation and financial position, either favorably or unfavorably. To manage our financial exposure related to commodity price fluctuations, we will routinely enter into contracts to hedge portions of purchase and sale commitments within established risk management guidelines. Although we plan to devote a considerable amount of time and effort to the establishment of risk management procedures, as well as the ongoing review of the implementation of these procedures, the procedures in place may not always function as planned and cannot eliminate all the risks associated with these activities. As a result of these and other factors, we cannot precisely predict the impact that risk management decisions may have on our businesses, results of operations or financial position.

 

    21  

 

 

To the extent that an REP engages in hedging and risk management activities, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties that owe us money, energy or other commodities as a result of market transactions will not perform their obligations.

 

Should the counterparties to hedging and risk management contracts fail to perform, we may be forced to enter into alternative hedging arrangements or honor the underlying commitment at then-current market prices. In such event, we may incur losses in addition to amounts, if any, already paid to the counterparties.

 

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and this Offering

 

Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock and make it difficult for our security holders to resell their shares .

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets. Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our Common Stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a stock exchange like NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our Common Stock.

 

Our Common Stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float, and you may not be able to sell your shares for more than what you paid.

 

The market price of our Common Stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.

 

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
     
  the absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
     
  we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held;
     
  overall stock market fluctuations;
     
  announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors;
     
  actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
     
  conditions or trends in the industry;
     
  litigation;
     
  changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
     
  future sales of Common Stock;
     
  departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
     
  general market conditions.

 

    22  

 

 

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

Our Common Stock is thinly traded.

 

Although our Common Stock trades on the OTCQB, there is limited trading in our Common Stock in the over-the-counter market. Such thinly traded, illiquid stocks are more susceptible to significant and sudden price changes than stocks that are widely followed by the investment community and that are actively traded on an exchange. Thus, we cannot assure investors that there will at any time in the future be an active trading market for our Common Stock. Our stock is not listed on a stock exchange and we currently do not intend to seek listing on an exchange. Even if we successfully list the Common Stock on a stock exchange, we nevertheless could not assure shareholders that an organized public market for our Common Stock would develop. Investors should purchase shares for long-term investment only and should purchase our securities if and only if they are capable of making and are seeking to make a long-term investment in the Company.

 

Our Common Stock is a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”

 

Our Common Stock is a “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Because we have a per-share price below $5.00, these rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

 

Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following:

 

  If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.
     
  If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.

 

However, investors who have signed arbitration agreements may have to pursue their claims through arbitration.

 

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect your ability to resell our Common Stock.

 

Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments.

 

For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance that our Common Stock will cease to be classified as a “penny stock” in the future.

 

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our Common Stock, which could depress the price of our Common Stock.

 

    23  

 

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares of Common Stock, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares of Common Stock, and thereby depress our price per share of Common Stock.

 

Our securities are traded on the OTCQB, which may not provide as much liquidity for our investors as more recognized senior exchanges such as the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national or regional exchanges.

 

Our securities are quoted on the OTCQB. The OTC Markets are inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on these OTC Markets are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets. Quotes for stocks included on the OTC Markets are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Markets may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the price of our securities may be adversely affected.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

 

We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed and the price of our securities could decline.

 

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers (but not us) an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In the event that our principal executive officer or principal financial officer determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our securities will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and the market value of our securities may be negatively affected.

 

Our officers and directors have voting control, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

 

As of September 30, 2017, our officers and directors beneficially owned an aggregate of 377,152,650 of our Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares, or 100.0%, of our Class B common stock. Each share of our Common Stock has one vote per share, and each share of our Class B common stock has 200 votes per share. Accordingly, our officers and directors control a majority (82%) of our voting power and therefore are able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. Our officers and directors may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated voting power may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

    24  

 

 

As board members, each of Messrs. Rodriguez and Young owes a fiduciary duty to our stockholders and must act in good faith and in a manner, he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As stockholders, each of Messrs. Rodriguez and Young is entitled to vote his shares in his own interest, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally.

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the 929,043,334 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of October 26, 2017, approximately 575,391,000 shares are tradable without restriction. Given the limited trading of our Common Stock, resale of even a small number of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include a prohibition on cumulative voting, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include prohibiting an interested stockholder from entering into a combination with the Company unless certain conditions are met. Further, our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 2,000,000 have been designated as Series A preferred stock, with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

  have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
     
  comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

  submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency”; and
     
  disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our consolidated financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

    25  

 

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the price of our securities may be more volatile.

 

Other Risks

 

There are other unidentified risks.

 

The risks set forth above are not a complete list of the risks facing our potential investors. We acknowledge that there may exist significant risks yet to be recognized or encountered to which we may not be able to effectively respond. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in addressing these risks or future potential risks, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in Nevada on May 28, 1999 as Paragon Polaris Strategies.com, Inc. In May 2010, we merged with Texas Hill Country Barbecue, Inc., and on June 2, 2010, changed our name to Texas Hill Country Barbecue, Inc. On August 21, 2010, we filed our Initial Company Information and Disclosure Statement with the OTC Markets, changed our name to Texas Hill Country Barbecue, Inc. and our stock-trading symbol to “THCB”. In March 2013, we changed our name to South American Properties with the new stock symbol of “SAMP”. In October 2014, we changed our name to USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. and our trading symbol to “USAR.” Effective on March 24, 2016, we changed our name to The Chron Organization, Inc. and our stock trading symbol to “CHRO”. Effective on December 1, 2017, we changed our name to Zenergy Brands, Inc. and our stock trading symbol to “ZNGY”. We are now engaged in the business of selling energy conservation products and services with plans to sell retail electricity services to commercial, industrial and municipal customers.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a business-to-business company, whose business platform is a combined offering of energy services and smart controls. Our business model is based upon the belief that these two aspects, combined with an ever-increasing commercial demand for more sustainable business practices will continue to be burgeoning trends. Historically, services such as electricity and natural gas have been provided by monopoly-based companies; these legacy entities are in the business of selling commodity and related services and naturally, selling as much of these as possible. In some cases, it has been this way for nearly a century. However, the growing demand from commercial and municipal entities for responsible energy, more control and transparency, and overall sustainability have proven to be at odds with the mission of these legacy entities. Zenergy offers a unique value proposition to commercial, industrial, and municipal customers whereby we offer a means to reduce their utility expenses anywhere from 20% up to 60% through energy-efficient and smart control products.

 

Toward making our claim in the marketplace, we have built a service offering that we have deemed “Energy as a Service” and/or “Sustainability as a Service”. We also have plans to complement this offering by launching a “Retail Energy Platform” that, when combined, are expected to position us to become a provider of a unique suite of energy usage and management products and services to commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers which we refer to as our “target customers”. Currently, we (i) provide energy brokerage and procurement services, (ii) sell commercial energy conservation equipment, load factor improvement technologies, HVAC & Refrigeration based technologies, LED lighting and lighting controls, and (iii) plan to sell commercial energy utility services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade Electric, LLC (“Enertrade”), a Texas based Retail Electric Provider as further discussed below.

 

    26  

 

 

The foundation of our unique selling proposition is based on our Zero Cost Program. This is a turnkey solution that enables our target customers to upgrade older, inefficient customer premise equipment and assets, allowing for installation of energy-efficient retrofits such as HVAC and refrigeration motor controllers, load factor improvement technologies, building-envelope-based technologies, weatherization-based technologies, smart controls, and LED lighting at no up-front cost to our clients. The Zero Cost Program will be facilitated through an industry standard agreement referred to as a Managed Energy Services Agreement (“MESA”). Under the MESA, Zenergy will be obligated to develop, arrange financing for, install and maintain all energy efficiency measures and equipment installed by Zenergy. Zenergy will retain ownership of all installed equipment. The minimum term of the MESA is expected to be five years with an expected average of seven years. Under the terms of the MESA, our customers will be obligated to pay us a portion of their savings in utility costs following the installation of our equipment; these are referred to as “Service Payments”. Service Payments are expected to be fixed payments made on a monthly basis over the term of the agreement from the customer to Zenergy and these payments are expected to scale down over the term of the MESA, allowing the customer to reap more and more of the dollar savings from the respective utility company each year.

 

Effectuating a successful MESA will require us to implement credit review and standard underwriting procedures. This process includes, but is not limited to, the following: standard credit screening provided by credit reporting agencies (i.e. Experian), business profile reports from Dun & Bradstreet, review of trade credit and references, confirmation that client has been in operation for greater than 10 years, and our proprietary review and assessment of historical accounting records and industry landscape. In order for Zenergy to effectively market, sell, and implement MESAs, Zenergy must utilize third-party financing entities to provide project and strategic financing toward fulfilling its working capital requirements to acquire and install the equipment required under the MESA. For this reason, we have engaged in discussions with advisors and investment banks for the purposes of procuring a long-term and scalable financing solution for this aspect of our business.

 

With respect to our retail energy plans, through a Texas PUC approved and licensed “Retail Electric Provider” or “REP”, we plan to target end-use customers in the commercial and industrial sectors. While many of our customers are expected to be existing Zero Cost Customers, we also plan to market our retail electricity service in general. Members of our management team have experience in building Retail Electric Providers. We believe that this experience and industry expertise will help us build a viable and well-rounded energy services company, with a large emphasis on conservation and sustainability. Furthermore, we believe that the combination of our energy conservation products and our ability to provide retail energy services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade will provide us with a significant advantage over our competitors. We believe that this combination will allow us to offer a very unique value proposition to the customer.

 

Zenergy Solutions, Inc.

 

Zenergy Solutions, Inc. (formerly Zen Technologies, Inc.), our wholly owned subsidiary (“Zenergy Solutions”) is a next-generation technology service provider committed to bringing all the benefits of smart controls and energy conservation solutions to millions of business owners across the U.S. Zenergy Solutions provides commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers with building automation systems, retail energy, and energy conservation solutions so that these entities can be smarter and more energy-efficient, thereby increasing their enterprise value while responsibly contributing to the environment by reducing their harmful carbon emissions. We are in the early stages of rolling out these products and services and are poised for further growth as we seek to identify the most effective sales and marketing channels as we work towards perfecting our operating processes, policies and procedures.

 

Additionally, with our Zero Cost Program, we have the ability to upgrade our customers with the latest energy saving equipment and controls at no upfront cost to them. This line of equipment and services includes, but is not limited to, LED lighting, weatherization services, motor controllers, EC motor controllers, HVAC accessories, smart devices and controls, solar, geo-thermal generation, oxidized water solutions, energy capacitors and energy storage devices.

 

About the Zero Cost Program for Commercial, Industrial, and Municipal Customers

 

The Zero Cost Program is a turnkey solution that enables our target customers to upgrade older, inefficient equipment and lighting controls at no up-front cost to them with future service fees paid to us from a portion of the savings it creates.

 

The process for the Zero Cost Program starts with a site survey to determine the current equipment and operating environment of the prospective customer. Once a survey is complete, Zenergy Solutions creates a proposal detailing the solutions needed in order to maximize savings out of that individual business. Every business is different and solutions are tailored for each business. Upon approval from the customer, Zenergy Solutions will install the upgrades, controls and components that power the customer’s business, enabling it to be more energy-efficient. The savings is expected to range anywhere between 15% and as much as 60%.

 

    27  

 

 

The Zero Cost Program works through a “Services Agreement”. This means that our clients will have no initial upfront costs. This Services Agreement carries a full warranty for the term of the initial agreement. The businesses are expected to begin saving money immediately from lower energy consumption. Through the Services Agreement, Zenergy Solutions will finance the equipment and installation for all the chosen upgraded technologies and conservation solutions, which are billable in a separate invoice over the term of the agreement.

 

Over the first two quarters of 2017, Zenergy Solutions has created a pipeline of commercial prospects and has acquired eight commercial clients, representing approximately 400 different actual locations where site surveys are being scheduled. These include convenience stores, gas stations, hotels, and schools, several with the initial phase of installations already underway while we are seeking credit approval from some. For example, one of our clients owns a chain of over 50 convenience stores (with gas stations). Zenergy Solutions also entered into a referral agreement with The Oklahoma Groceries Association (the “Groceries Association”) representing over 1,800 locations to offer this Program to its members. We pay the Groceries Association an agreed-on portion of the revenues we collect from the MESA’s we enter into with members of their association. Additionally, Zenergy has entered into a referral agreement with one of the largest suppliers of equipment and services in the hotel industry, which owns and/or manages over 300 hotels and represents thousands of locations nationwide. We pay this company an agreed-on portion of the revenues we collect from the MESA’s we enter into with customers they refer to us.

 

Marketing

 

The Company plans to utilize several distribution channels for our product offerings including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  Company Branded & Affiliate Internet Marketing: This encompasses our own Internet marketing efforts, as well as working with third party websites that provide utility connection services to new homeowners or families moving into a new city.
     
  Referral Partner Network: Also, known as an “Agent Network”, is a network of independent contractors who serve as referral sources for our products and services in exchange for an ongoing commission fee. This model has been the source of most all of our “Zero-Cost” customers and prospects to date.
     
  Network Marketing Channels: Also referred to as “Multi-Level-Marketing” or “Direct Sales Organizations”, these consist of groups of independent contractors who market and serve as distributors for similar or related products and services. We are currently engaged in discussions with several different Network Marketing entities for the purposes of entering into a joint marketing/client vendor relationship.

 

Operations

 

Chairman, Mr. Byron Young, and CEO and President, Mr. Alex Rodriguez, two renowned entrepreneurs with a proven track record of building hyper-growth companies, lead our management team. Together, they represent a combined 40 years of experience in the deregulated services industries (telecommunications, wireless, internet services, and electricity and natural gas retail services). Under this executive leadership duo, we have begun to build a management team comprising senior management members who represent an additional 50 years of cumulative experience in the home alarm, home automation, and home entertainment industries.

 

We have developed a fully customized, internal enterprise resource planning (ERP) system (“Zenergy Plus”) that is designed to allow us to accommodate thousands of customer enrollments from a myriad of marketing channels, on a national basis. Zenergy Plus allows the Company to automate and manage, in real time, customers’ needs from point of sale through logistics and installation, and all the way through the renewal process at the end of the five or seven-year service term. We believe that this operational infrastructure will allow us to deliver a consistent, quality customer experience.

 

Furthermore, our fully integrated customer experience allows our sales representatives, customer service representatives and installation technicians to work closely together to provide the customer with an integrated process from contract origination to daily use. We believe that our customer service representatives deliver a quality customer service experience that enhances our brand and improves customer satisfaction. Customer service representatives will generally resolve most maintenance and service related questions over the telephone or through remote-access to the customer’s system.

 

    28  

 

 

Field Service Operations

 

We have created a network of professional third-party field service technicians (“FSTs”) throughout the United States, who reside in their service territories, to provide prompt service to our commercial customers. FSTs undergo comprehensive training on our products and services. FSTs are also trained and equipped to handle everything from installation to general day-to-day maintenance or services issues that may come up. Many of our FST’s are independent contractors or third-party service organizations who provide outsourced service personnel for several service providers such as cable or alarm companies.

 

We do not maintain a costly physical warehouse, retail or office locations for our FSTs. Instead, we provide FSTs with adequate supplies of products and materials. Field service inventories are replenished by shipments that are processed through the Zenergy Plus platform and made from our strategic suppliers straight to the customer’s location. The Zenergy Plus platform is fully integrated with all of our various trading partners, infrastructure providers, ordering systems, and logistical and shipment systems. Moreover, it provides a user interface and/or log-in capabilities for Zenergy employees, Zenergy FST’s, and even for customers, wherein they can make payments, research past billing history. The Zenergy Plus platform also schedules appointments, routes technicians, and follows up with customers to ensure that every service was performed to their satisfaction.

 

Customer Service

 

Our customer service center is in Dallas, Texas and is staffed with our employees. Hours of operation are Mon - Fri from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Central Standard Time. All employees who work in our customer service department undergo training on regulatory requirements, general corporate, product and technical training and billing related issues. Customer service representatives are required to pass background checks and, depending upon their job function, may require licensing by certain state jurisdictions.

 

Key Systems

 

As previously stated above, we have developed our own customized ERP/CRM software platform, which we implemented in August of 2016. This operating platform is an integrated enterprise resource planning and a customer relationship management and billing system, which we’ve aptly named “Zenergy Plus”. The Zenergy Plus system is based on a well-established enterprise-scale cloud solution. We believe that the Zenergy Plus system will be able to scale with our business, providing the flexibility to accommodate the multiple customer support and billing models resulting from the anticipated expansion in our product and service packages over time. It also allows for operational efficiency by not requiring the entry of data multiple times and improving data accuracy.

 

Billing

 

Customers are billed approximately 20-30 calendar days after an installation has been completed. The customer’s initial payment is manually run and then each payment is automatically run according to the payment schedule the customer agreed. All payments are paid electronically, either via ACH or company credit card. This is accomplished via the Zenergy Plus system.

 

Zenergy Power & Gas, Inc. (“Zenergy Power and Gas”, formerly Zen Energy, Inc.)

 

Background on Energy Industry and Deregulation

 

Until the 1980s, generation, transmission, distribution and sales/marketing or supply of electricity and natural gas in the United States were conducted by local publicly-funded monopolies. In the 1980s and 1990s, state legislatures began passing laws designed to create competitive retail sales and supply in the natural gas markets. Electricity deregulation in the United States followed approximately a decade later with 24 states that allow the resale of electricity in one form or another.

 

Electricity Industry Overview

 

There are three primary components of the electricity industry:

 

    29  

 

 

Generation: Electricity is most often generated at a power plant or station. The industry employs a variety of technologies to generate electricity such as traditional thermal (coal, natural gas, and oil), nuclear power, as well as renewable resources, including wind, water, sunlight, biofuels, and wood waste. Historically, government and private investor-owned utility companies controlled the electricity generation component.

 

Transmission & Distribution: Following the generation of electricity, high voltage transmission lines carry the electricity throughout the power system to electrical substations. In many markets, Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) manage the electricity flows, maintain reliability, and administer transmission access for the electric transmission grid in a defined region. RTOs and ISOs coordinate and monitor communications among the generator, distributor and Energy Retailer. Additionally, RTOs and ISOs manage the real-time electricity supply and demand. The transmission system is regulated by FERC.

 

Once the electricity has been transmitted through the high voltage power grid, Local Distribution Company’s (LDCs) direct the electricity from the high voltage transmission systems to lower voltage distribution networks, which ultimately connect the ‘‘last mile’’ to the customer. These networks are comprised of lines of various voltage levels, substations, transformers, and meters. These lines are regulated by state public utility commissions and managed by the LDCs.

 

Retail Sales of Energy (Customer Service & Billing): In states that have authorized deregulation or retail competition, Energy Retailers (also referred to as “Retail Energy Providers”) market and sell electricity to end-users, providing customers with alternatives to purchasing their electricity from their LDC. Energy Retailers typically do not generate electricity and instead buy wholesale electricity from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, directly from a generation facility, from financial institutions, from the ISOs and RTOs, or from energy companies that actively trade power. Energy Retailers then resell the electricity to end-user customers at unregulated rates, earning the difference between the delivered wholesale price and the end-user price.

 

Retail Electricity Market

 

The retail electricity market can be categorized into two main customer segments: (i) residential and small business, and (ii) large commercial and industrial. Energy Retailers operate in the retail electricity market by providing a variety of renewable, fixed and variable rate electricity contracts to customers for varying periods of time. In general, large commercial and industrial customers are serviced by fixed price contracts for up to five years. By contrast, residential and small-to-medium size commercial customers are typically serviced by short-term month-to-month variable price contracts or fixed term, fixed price contracts for up to one or two years. Some Energy Retailers focus only on one customer segment (e.g. residential), while others focus on the full spectrum of customers.

 

In many cases (dependent by state), Energy Retailers may use the LDC to invoice and collect from customers for energy supply and other costs. Under arrangements entered into between the Energy Retailers and the LDCs, LDCs remain responsible for the delivery of the electricity from the ISO or RTO to the customer’s residence or place of business. This ensures reliability to the markets.

 

Competitive Landscape

 

The deregulation of the electricity industry is a practice that has been occurring since the 1990’s. However, because of the complex nature and various aspects of the energy industry, the pace has been slow. The reason behind this is that the deregulation of the energy industry happens upon two, in some cases, three different frameworks. First, you have the wholesale aspects of the energy industry, which include the building of, owning and managing independent power plants or power trading companies. Secondly, you have the retail aspect of deregulation. In some cases, these happen at a federal level, however, in most cases of the retail aspects of deregulation, this must occur on a state-by-state basis, as it is largely a legislative action. The legislative action must then be followed up and supported by the respective Independent System Operator (ISO), in other words “the grid” in that geographic area.

 

As it pertains to Zenergy Power & Gas, we plan to enter into and expand into all deregulated energy markets, however, today, we are exclusively concerned with and focused on the retail electric industry in the state of Texas, otherwise known as the ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) market. The deregulation of Texas has been considered by many industry insiders and policy makers as the “poster child for deregulation”, as cited by ABACCUS Report in the Albany Times when reporting that the state of “New York ranked 2 nd best for electricity competition”, after the Texas market taking 1 st place 2 . This is mostly because it has been very successful; it has been an economic stimulus and has fostered competition. Texans pay among the lowest electricity rates in the nation and the age of innovative products in electricity is now showing early signs of potential success. This latter aspect is where we plan to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the market.

 

    30  

 

 

As of the time of this filing, there are well over 100 entities that are licensed as a Retail Electric Provider in the state of Texas. However, only approximately 60 of these are operational and of these 60, some are focused only on commercial customers, some only on residential, and a few equally on both of these customer demographics. Moreover, of the 60 operational Retail Energy Providers, it is safe to assume that only approximately 15 to 20 are relevant; by this, we mean any Retain Energy Provider that is serving over 10,000 customers.

 

Since 2009 and the constant of low natural gas prices, most markets, including Texas, have experienced a very low cost of goods sold. This has brought most Retail Energy Providers into a margin game where they are paying very little attention to the actual value they could bring to their customers. Very few are focused on their value and even fewer are focused on being different. Most of the differentiation in the market is around who can write their contracts more creatively to fool their customers.

 

Conversely, Zenergy Power & Gas plans to enter the market differently with most of our focus on our differentiation and the value we plan to bring to customers. Zen Energy’s plans are different in the following ways:

 

  Time of Use Products (TOU) and Renewable Focused: Zenergy Power & Gas plans to offer a fully integrated TOU electricity product to work in conjunction with its Zero Cost conservation and controls solutions to completely integrate a consumer’s behavior with their energy usage. A TOU product offers a variable price throughout the day so that consumers can adjust their behavior to coincide with lower energy prices. Additionally, Zenergy Power & Gas plans to purchase primarily from renewable sources, so consumers can be assured to know they are doing their part in contributing to a cleaner environment and more sustainable business.
     
  Demand Response: This term essentially means the ability to turn off (or power down) energy-consuming devices during peak times when energy prices are at their highest. In the Texas market place, energy prices change every 15 minutes throughout the day. During the peak season, it’s not uncommon for prices to increase 10, 50, or even 100-fold during super peak hours. Zenergy Power & Gas will have the opportunity to offer customers on-demand, demand-response options that will allow customers to participate in revenue share opportunities.

 

Energy Business Operations

 

The Company plans to take advantage of synergies between our subsidiaries Zenergy Solutions and Zenergy Power & Gas, and, ultimately, Enertrade. Following completion of the acquisition of Enertrade, customer services, marketing, and most all back-office functions would be considered shared services between the companies. The most important functions that require subject matter experts include customer provisioning and energy risk management (procurement, margin control, forecasting, and wholesale settlements). For these two areas, we have begun the hiring process for the appropriate managers and executives.

 

Entry into the Energy Marketplace

 

The Company plans to enter the retail electricity market by acquiring a Texas-based licensed Retail Electric Provider. The Company is in the final stages of completing its acquisition of Enertrade pursuant to the terms of an agreement entered into between the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Zenergy Power & Gas and Enertrade, whereby Zenergy Power & Gas has agreed to acquire 85% of Enertrade from its members (the “Enertrade Sellers”). Conditions precedent to closing the transaction include, but are not limited to, (i) the Sellers obtaining all material consents, approvals, permits, authorization from, notifications to, and filings with any governmental entities including, without limitations, the Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUCT) and (ii) all approvals, consents and waivers shall have been obtained from Enertrade’ s wholesale supplier.

 

The purchase price for the interest in Enertrade is $1,650,000 with the initial payment of $500,000 at closing (subject to certain adjustments that may increase or decrease the initial amount) and a $1,150,000 promissory note without interest (subject to be adjusted downward for any increase in the initial payment) and payable in two equal installments, the first of which is due 90 days from the closing date and the second due 180 days from the closing date. The Company was obligated to close this transaction no later than March 21, 2017. Although we have not closed yet, the parties have continued to pursue obtaining the required consents in cooperation with Enertrade and the Enertrade Sellers and we have an oral understanding with such parties to extend the closing date while pursuing such consents.

 

    31  

 

 

As partial consideration for the Enertrade Sellers’ retention of an interest in Enertrade, the Sellers or their principals agreed to enter into a services agreement pursuant to which the Enertrade Sellers shall be obligated to present to the Company all opportunities to provide retail electricity and electric services to residential and commercial consumers within the Republic of Mexico as and when such opportunities arise and pursuant to which the Company will agree to purchase electricity supply to service such Republic of Mexico business opportunities accepted by the Company subject to credit terms established by its supplier.

 

Employees

 

As of October, 2017, we had approximately 15 full-time employees, excluding our installation technicians, sales representatives, contract IT developers and certain other support professionals who are independent contractors, all of which total an approximate 60 entities and/or individuals. None of our employees is currently represented by a labor union or trade council. Most our employees are located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metropolitan area. We believe that we generally have good relationships with our employees, and have not experienced any labor disputes.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. There are no legal proceedings currently pending against us that we believe would have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations, and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

Our principal office is located at 5851 Legacy Circle, Suite 600, Plano, TX 7502. We lease approximately 8,000 square feet of office space under a sublease arrangement on a month to month basis. Rent for this space is $12,000 per month, which includes furniture and communications equipment.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

This prospectus relates to shares of our Common Stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders in this offering. See “Selling Stockholders.” However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of the Commitment Shares to Bellridge pursuant to the Bellridge Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

We intend to use the proceeds that we may receive from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Equity Line to Bellridge and the exercise of the Warrants for general working capital purposes. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares to Bellridge or any Warrants will be exercised.

 

We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to draw down any or all of the Total Commitment, such that the proceeds received would be a source of financing for us nor can we provide any assurance that the holder of the Warrants will exercise them.

 

We intend to raise additional capital through equity and debt financing, as needed, though there cannot be any assurance that such funds will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the rate at which we expand our business operations, procure a scalable funding solution for Zero Cost Customers, roll out our products and services and complete the planned acquisition of Enertrade.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto and consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

    32  

 

 

Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this prospectus. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a business-to-business company, whose business platform is a combined offering of energy services and smart controls. Toward making our claim in the marketplace, we have built a service offering that we have deemed “Energy as a Service” and/or “Sustainability as a Service”. We also have plans to complement this offering by launching a “Retail Energy Platform” that, when combined, are expected to position us to become a provider of a unique suite of energy usage and management products and services to commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers which we refer to as “target customers”. Currently, we (i) provide energy brokerage and procurement services, (ii) sell commercial energy conservation equipment, load factor improvement technologies, HVAC & Refrigeration based technologies, LED lighting and lighting controls, and (iii) plan to sell commercial energy utility services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade Electric, LLC (“Enertrade”), a Texas based Retail Electric Provider as further discussed below.

 

We plan to organically grow our business operations via the acquisition of Zero Cost customers and the sales of electricity services to commercial, industrial and municipal end-use customers. Furthermore, we plan to continue to work towards fulfilment of the conditions precedent to complete our planned acquisition of Enertrade as discussed in this report. We do not know whether we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy or whether our business strategy will ultimately be successful. Our growth strategy is largely dependent on our ability to secure project financing for the Zero Cost contracts currently in our pipeline and develop synergies with that business following the completion of our plans to engage in the sale of electric energy to retail customers in Texas by acquiring Enertrade. As is typically the case involving products and service offerings, anticipation of demand and market acceptance are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The success of our products and planned service offerings primarily depends on consumer interest and acceptance. In general, achieving market acceptance for our products and planned energy utility services will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, which we may not have available, to create awareness and demand among customers and clients. Furthermore, the completion of the acquisition of Enertrade is dependent on our ability to raise the funds we need to complete the purchase and complete the conditions to closing discussed below. For these reasons and our limited operating history, we cannot currently predict our future revenues or expenses.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this registration statement. The results discussed below are for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. For comparative purposes, we are comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Revenue. Total revenue was $23,585 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $565 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of the Company’s soft launch of its selling retail smart home technology and controls and monitoring services during the second quarter of 2017.

 

Cost of goods sold and Gross Profit (loss) . Our cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $22,570 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is a result of increases in our sales. Our gross profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was ($1,985) compared to $565 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases are a result of increases in our sales.

 

    33  

 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses . Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,90,696 and $956,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the development of our product and service offering and ramping up our sales efforts, consisting primarily of increases in salary and wages of approximately $226,100, contractor and consulting expense of 385,700, legal and professional expenses of 66,000, rent of $101,600, insurance of $25,800, and information technology expenses of $26,200.

 

Loss from operations and net loss . Loss from operations and net loss were ($2,164,422) and ($1,104,795) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, other expenses cost of goods sold, partially offset by an increase in revenues. We expect continued loss from operations for the foreseeable future as we ramp up our sales efforts in our existing business.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this registration statement. The results discussed below are for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. For comparative purposes, we are comparing the three months ended September 30, 2017, to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Revenue. Total revenue was $13,460 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $565 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of the Company’s soft launch of its selling retail smart home technology and controls and monitoring services during the third quarter of 2017.

 

Cost of goods sold and Gross Profit (loss) . Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2017 of $3,450 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is a result of increases in our sales. Our gross profit (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 10,010 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increases are a result of increases in our sales. In addition, the Company has recorded revenues with respect to commissions earned from its energy brokering business.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses . Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $641,343 and $437,567 for the three’ months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the development of our product and service offering and ramping up our sales efforts, consisting primarily of increases in salary and wages of approximately $18,800, contractor and consulting expense of $157,850, and rent of $25,700.

 

Loss from operations and net loss . Loss from operations and net loss were ($831,469) and ($525,727) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, other expenses cost of goods sold, partially offset by an increase in revenues. We expect continued loss from operations for the foreseeable future as we ramp up our sales efforts in our existing business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital deficit of $1,562,863 as of September 30, 2017 compared to a working capital deficit of $529,476 as of December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in borrowings, subscription liabilities, accounts payables and accrued payroll. Working capital consisted of total current assets of $147,216 offset by current liabilities of $1,710,079 as of September 30, 2017 and total current assets of $92,460 offset by current liabilities of $621,936 as of December 31, 2016.

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $1,459,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to net cash flows provided in operating activities of $856,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of the net loss associated with the launch of our current business. Net cash flow used in investing activities was $92,746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $18,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $92,746 was used to develop software.

 

Our primary source of liquidity has been proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and equity securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,531,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $1,049,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received $429,050 from the sale of common stock, $125,000 from the sale of preferred stock, $963,000 from proceeds from convertible promissory notes, $40,000 from proceeds from notes payable and $20,000 from proceeds from issuance of stock in our subsidiary.

Cash Requirements

 

Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for more than 12 months. Accordingly, we will have to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and the audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reports a net loss of $2,164,422 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $1,771,738 for the year ended December 31, 2016, and an accumulated deficit of $4,493,312 as of September 30, 2017.

 

The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,5362,863 and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,459,590 at September 30, 2017. The Company’s revenue from operations is not sufficient to meet its working capital needs and will be dependent on funds raised to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Arrangements with the Selling Stockholders

 

Bellridge Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On November 3, 2017, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Bellridge, pursuant to which Bellridge has agreed to purchase from us up to $2,500,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations from time to time over a 24-month period commencing four trading days after the date of effectiveness of a registration statement which provides for the resale of such shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The shares issuable to Bellridge under the Equity Purchase Agreement are being offered pursuant to this prospectus. The likelihood that the Company will receive the full amount of proceeds available under the Equity Purchase Agreement and its reliance on Bellridge as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. At a price per share of $0.009, the Company would have to issue 277,777,778 shares to access the full $2,500,000 available under the agreement with Bellridge. No fees or commissions are required to be paid upon the sale to Bellridge of these shares. The Company agreed to reimburse Bellridge $12,500 for legal fees incurred in connection with this transaction.

 

Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement which provides for the resale of the shares, we may direct Bellridge, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $250,000 of shares (each a “Draw Down”) that is no more than 300% of the average trading volume of our common stock during the 10-day period immediately prior to the Draw Down. The purchase price of the shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement is 80% multiplied by the lowest trade price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to each Draw Down notice representing a 20% discount.

 

We will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Bellridge but we may not request a Draw Down less than ten business days apart.

 

As consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, we issued Bellridge 5,756,579 shares of common stock.

 

    36  

 

 

The Company also entered into a memorandum of understanding with Bellridge dated as of November 3, 2017 (the “MOU”). The MOU requires the Company to, among other things, file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Commission (the “Debenture Registration Statement”) on or before December 25, 2017 to register the resale by Bellridge of all Debenture Registrable Securities. “Debenture Registrable Securities” means (i) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures issued to Bellridge by the Company (collectively the “Debentures”) including the 10% Original Issue Convertible Debenture issued by the Company to Bellridge on March 17, 2017 and the 10% original Issue Convertible Debenture issued by the Company to Bellridge on June 20, 2017 and (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the exercise of warrants issued to Bellridge by the Company (the “Warrants”) as of the date of the MOU; subject to any limits that may be imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and provided that a share of Common Stock shall cease to be a Debenture Registrable Security upon the earliest to occur of the following: (a) its sale pursuant to the Debenture Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (B) it becomes eligible for resale by its holder under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required thereunder and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. If the Company has not filed the Debenture Registration Statement with the Commission by December 25, 2017 (unless the registration of the Debenture Registrable Securities is prohibited by the Securities and Exchange Commission) or the Debenture Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission by February 28, 2018, then (a) the face amount of each of the outstanding Debentures shall increase by 150%, (b) the Purchaser may declare an event of default under the Debentures and (c) the Purchaser may avail itself of any other rights and remedies it has under the Debenture, or at law or otherwise. The rights provided in this section are in addition to and not in lieu of any rights the Purchaser has under the Securities Purchase Agreements, between the Purchaser and the Company, entered into in connection with the Debentures and Warrants. In the event that the Commission prohibits the Debenture Registration Statement, then the penalties in the MOU shall not apply, and the Company agrees to repay the Debentures pursuant to the documentation entered into on March 17, 2017 and June 20, 2017 (as referenced above).

 

Greentree Financial Financing

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Financial Advisory Agreement with Greentree whereby Greentree agreed to provide financial advisory services to the Company including reviewing target company acquisitions and due diligence, financial review, and assistance with consolidated accounting for acquisitions and perform such other work as requested by the Company. The Company agreed to pay Greentree the sum of $25,000 for such services by issuing Greentree the Greentree Advisory Note in the principal amount of $25,000 due July 31, 2018. The Greentree Advisory Note bears interest rate of 8% per annum and is due on July 31, 2018. The Greentree Advisory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the maturity date with a penalty of 10% of the sum of the outstanding principal and interest provided that the Company shall provide the holder with 15 days’ prior written notice of its intent to prepay. Holder shall have the option to elect to convert at any time prior to prepayment. The holder has the right, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the conversion price. The per share conversion price is equal to the lowest per share trading price for the 20-day trading period prior to the conversion date multiplied by 60%; however, the conversion price shall not be less than $0.001. The Greentree 10% OID Notes are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Advisory Note or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.9% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company. Further, the holder of the Greentree Advisory Note may not convert the note if such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock to exceed 9.9%. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the holder’s non-accountable legal fees and certificate processing cost by adding $1,500 to the principal amount of each conversion but in no event, shall the total conversion costs exceed $10,000.

On August 1, 2017, the Greentree Original Issue Date, the Company entered into and closed on the transaction set forth in the Greentree Loan Agreement it entered into with Greentree for the sale of the Company’s 10% original issue discount convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $425,000 and warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.035 per share. Pursuant to the Greentree Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Greentree upon closing for a purchase price of $67,500: (i) Greentree 10% OID Notes in the principal amount of $75,000; and (ii) the Greentree Warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.035 per share (subject to adjustments under certain conditions as defined in the Greentree Warrants). The Greentree Loan Agreement provides that Greentree shall purchase, subject to its approval in its sole discretion, an additional Greentree 10% OID Note in the principal amount of $100,000 upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and an additional Greentree 10% OID Note in the principal amount of $250,000 upon the Company reaching a sales goal of $1,000,000 in any fiscal quarter. The maturity date of the note is July 31, 2018 and the maturity date of the additional Greentree 10% OID Notes will be 12 months from the date of such note. The Company agreed to pay Greentree $2,000 at closing for Greentree’s legal document preparation and requires the Company to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), among other things. The holder of the Greentree 10% OID Notes has the right, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of the note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the conversion price. The per share conversion price is the lowest per share trading price for the 20-day trading period immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by 60%; however, the conversion shall not be less than $0.001. The Greentree 10% OID Notes may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part prior to maturity with a penalty or premium equal to 10% of the outstanding principal and interest accrued as of the prepayment date provided that the Company provides the holder of the note 15 days’ advance written notice of any prepayment. The Greentree 10% OID Notes are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Greentree 10% OID Notes or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.9% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company. Further, the holder of the Greentree 10% OID Notes may not convert the note if such exercise would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock to exceed 9.9%. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the holder’s non-accountable legal fees and certificate processing costs of $1,500 for each conversion up to a maximum of $10,000.

Warrant . In further consideration for the Greentree Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Greentree a warrant to purchase 4,250,000 shares of its Common Stock that may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time until the last calendar day of the month in which the third anniversary of the issuance date occurs. The exercise price of the warrant is $0.035 per share. If the market price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the exercise price, Greentree may elect a cashless exercise pursuant to the terms set forth in the warrant. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrant are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of our Common Stock, as well as the issuance of options or other rights to purchase Common Stock at a price less than the exercise price of the warrant. An adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split or other reduction in the authorized Common Stock of the Company shall not exceed a reduction of greater than 1 for 20 regardless of the amount of the reduction of the Common Stock of the Company.

Any amount of principal or interest on the Auctus Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid, the Auctus Default Interest.

Crown Bridge purchased the Crown Bridge Note in the principal amount of $46,000 for a purchase price of $40,000 and the June 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant. The purchase price for the Crown Bridge Note was $40,000, thereby reflecting an original issue discount of $6,000 (i.e., the spread between the face amount of the Crown Bridge Note of $46,000 and the purchase price of $40,000). The Crown Bridge Note carries a prorated original issue discount of $6,000.00 and bears interest at the rate of 5% per year. On August 23, 2017, the Company paid off the Crown Bridge Note.

 

The Crown Bridge Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years and entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The exercise price of the Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. In addition, the exercise price of provided for in the Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect. If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. In addition, the Crown Bridge Warrant may become exercisable on a cashless basis if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the exercise price then in effect. Market price means the highest traded price of our Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of any exercise notice issued by the holder of the Crown Bridge Warrant.

 

Effective on November 15, 2017, the Company completed the sale to Crown Bridge of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $138,000 (the “November 2017 Crown Bridge Note” or “note”) and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 920,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant”), both of which were dated November 3, 2017. Crown Bridge purchased the note and agreed to pay aggregate consideration of up to $120,000 with an original issue discount of $18,000 in tranches as follows: $46,000 of principal amount was funded by payment of $40,000 on the effective date and the balance may be funded in Crown Bridge’s sole discretion at any time. The first tranche of funding under the November 2017 Crown Bridge Note carries a prorated original issue discount of $6,000.00 and bears interest at the rate of 5% per year. Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the note at a rate per annum equal to 5% on the basis of a 365-day year. Any amount of principal or interest on this note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) twelve (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid. The principal amount of the note and interest are payable on the maturity date which is 12 months after the funding date of each tranche.

 

Crown Bridge is entitled to, at any time or from time to time, convert the Note into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price per share equal to sixty percent (60%) of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the note. The conversion price of the note is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if we issue or sell convertible promissory notes that are convertible for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect or includes a longer look back period than provided in the note. If this should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable or in the case of a more favorable look back period, the look back period shall be adjusted to such greater number of days. The note contains representations, warranties, events of default, beneficial ownership limitations, prepayment options, and other provisions that are customary of similar instruments.

 

The note is not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by Crown Bridge and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the note or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by Investor of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by Crown Bridge upon 61 days notice to us.

 

The November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years and entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The exercise price of the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. In addition, the exercise price of provided for in the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect. If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. In addition, the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant may become exercisable on a cashless basis if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the exercise price then in effect. Market price means the highest traded price of our Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of any exercise notice issued by the holder of the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant.

 

No shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the November 2017 Crown Bridge Convertible Note or upon exercise of the November 2017 Crown Bridge Warrant are included in this prospectus.

The amounts shown below also exclude late fees and liquidated damages, if applicable, because no such amounts are due at the present and we are unable to determine if any such amounts will be due in the future. The computation of such amounts, should they become due, is included in the footnotes to the table. The timing of the payments shown below assumes that the Selling Stockholders will not convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes into our Common Stock and that we will not prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes. If the Selling Stockholders do convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes into our Common Stock, all accrued interest on the portion of the note that is converted will be due and payable at the time of conversion. If we prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes, all accrued interest on the portion of the note that is prepaid will be due and payable at the time of conversion together. In an effort to approximate the maximum possible interest payments to the Selling Stockholders under the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes, the table below assumes that the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, will not become effective until after the respective dates of each of the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes , and that the initial payment of accrued interest under the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes will be paid on the respective maturity dates of each of the Outstanding Selling Stockholder Notes.

Cash Requirements

 

Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for more than 12 months. Accordingly, we will have to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and the audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $2,164,422 and $1,104,795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $4,493,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $2,328,890 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,562,863 and $529,476, respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,459,590 and $856,557, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016.

 

The Company’s revenue from operations is not sufficient to meet its working capital needs and will be dependent on funds raised to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the following policies below as critical to its business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

    49  

 

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management 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 and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than continued current involvement, some transactions prior to December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the financial statements included in this Registration Statement.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents –The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash on-hand at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $11,060 and $51,710, respectively. There were no cash equivalents on-hand at December 31, 2015.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we did not have any 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 that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

 

As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), we are not required to provide the information called for by Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

 

MANAGEMENT

 

Board of Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table sets forth the names, positions and ages of our directors and executive officers as of the date of this prospectus. Each director is elected at our annual meeting of shareholders and holds office for three years, or until his successor is elected and qualified. Officers are elected by our board of directors and their terms of office are at the discretion of our board.

 

Name   Age   Position
Alex Rodriguez   42   President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer & Director
Byron T. Young   42   Chairman of the Board & Treasurer

 

Alex Rodriguez has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and as a member of our board of directors since December 2015. Mr. Rodriguez has 15 years of energy experience and a total of 20 years of business experience at the C-Level across the energy, telecom and information technology industries. Mr. Rodriguez is a business development and marketing executive that has successfully launched five different companies that were collectively responsible for nearly $6 billion in sales revenue over the course of his career in the energy industry. This experience includes, but is not limited to the following private companies SYNRG Marketing (Chief Business Officers & Partner) and Utility Choice Electric (VP of Sales & Marketing) from 2001 through 2003, AmPro Energy (VP if Business Development) from 2003 through 2004, Stream Energy and Ignite (Founder & Managing Partner) from 2004 through end of 2009. In August 2004, Mr. Rodriguez co-founded and served as Managing Partner of Stream Energy, a fast-growing retail energy provider that provided electricity and natural gas services to approximately 400,000 customers and grossed over $2 billion within the first four years of operation. Upon his exit from Stream Energy in late 2009, Mr. Rodriguez founded and still serves as Chairman of NAUP Capital, LP (today known as NAUP Investments, LLC), which is an energy holding company and venture development firm with holdings in energy, solar, energy brokerage and energy software related entities. In his position at NAUP, Mr. Rodriguez founded and grew several companies. Diversegy LLC and EPIQ Energy, LLC were among these NAUP projects. Rodriguez served as CEO for these companies and was successful in selling both of these companies to an NYSE publicly traded energy company (Genie Energy) in December of 2013. Diversegy LLC is a national energy brokerage company that advises commercial, industrial and municipal customers regarding their natural gas and power needs. The board of directors believes that Mr. Rodriguez’s experience in business development and successful growth and sales in the energy industry, as well as his understanding of energy sector business operations, will be valuable in executing our business strategy.

 

Byron T. Young has served as our Treasurer and as our Chairman of the Board since December 2015. As the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Young oversees the Company’s vision, growth, strategies and expansion efforts. He has over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience founding several technology-based companies and leading them through an exit strategy and/or into profitable growth stages. His experience encompasses the telecommunications, wireless, software and energy industries. In the early 1990s, Mr. Young founded several paging services companies that operated profitably through the peak of the paging services space. This led him to found a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (C-LEC) in 2001 under the name of Extel Enterprises, which was ultimately sold to publicly traded Usurf America, Inc. in 2004. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Young founded a Retail Energy Provider in 2005 under the name Young Energy, LLC, which provides electricity and natural gas services to residential and commercial customers in Texas and where Mr. Young currently serves as a senior advisor and board member. Most recently, in 2010, Mr. Young founded Assist Wireless, a wireless communication company providing prepaid cellular voice and data as well as government subsidized lifeline services to over 130,000 customers across four states. He currently serves as CEO of Assist Wireless. The board of directors believes that Mr. Young’s experience founding and operating technology-based companies provides him with an intimate knowledge of our day-to-day operations, business and competitive environment, as well as our opportunities, challenges and risks.

There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our directors, executive officers, significant employees or control persons has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Our board of directors has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our board believes that the establishment of committees of our board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.

 

We are not currently listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system that has a requirement that certain of the members of our board of directors be independent. In evaluating the independence of its members and the composition of its planned committees, the board of directors utilizes the definition of “independence” developed by the Nasdaq Stock Market and in SEC rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards of audit committee members and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The board of directors has determined that none of its current members is independent.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors.

 

Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

As with most small, early stage companies until such time as we further develop our business, achieve a stronger revenue base and have sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our board of directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We expect that we will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Once adopted, we will make the code of business conduct and ethics available on our website at www.chronorganization.com . We intend to post any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

 

Board Structure

 

Our Board has not chosen to separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the fact that our operations are sufficiently limited that such separation would not serve any useful purpose.

 

    52  

 

 

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

 

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk and for identifying our risk exposures and communicating such exposures to our board. Our board is responsible for designing, implementing and overseeing our risk management processes. The board does not have a standing risk management committee, but administers this function directly through the board as a whole. The whole board considers strategic risks and opportunities and receives reports from its officers regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility as necessary. We believe our board’s leadership structure facilitates the division of risk management oversight responsibilities and enhances the board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different areas of our business risks and our risk mitigation practices.

 

Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company by sending communications to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer at 15505 Long Vista Drive, Suite 250, Austin, Texas 78728. If stockholders feel that their questions have not been sufficiently addressed through communications with the Chief Executive Officer, they may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending their communications to the Board of Directors, c/o the Chief Executive Officer at the same address.

 

Director Compensation

 

Historically, our non-employee directors have not received compensation for their service outside the compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below, but we may compensate our directors for their service in the future. We reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings. We also intend to allow our non-employee directors to participate in any equity compensation plans that we adopt in the future.

Loan from Chairman

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company issued a convertible secured promissory note in the amount of up to $200,000 of which $193,000 in loan advances have been made by Mr. Young to the Company. Interest on the amount outstanding under the note accrues at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 2.0% or the highest lawful rate, as defined in the note. The outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on December 31, 2016. Through an amendment to the note, the due date has been extended to April 1, 2017.

 

The note may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty to the extent that Mr. Young has not exercised his conversion rights.

 

Upon an event of default, Mr. Young may declare all amounts due under the note due and payable without the need to give notice or demand. Events of default under the note include the failure to pay any amount due under the note and a failure to remedy the nonpayment within five calendar days and the bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or other similar event of the Company. From and after the occurrence of an event of default, amounts due under the note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of 18% or the highest lawful rate, payable on demand.

 

Mr. Young has the option at any time and from time to time to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.003, subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination and reclassification of our Common Stock.

 

The note may be transferred upon prior written notice to the Company to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

In further consideration for the $200,000 loan to the Company, the Company issued Mr. Young a warrant to purchase 32,166,667 shares of its Common Stock that may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time until the last calendar day of the month in which the fifth anniversary of the issuance date occurs.

 

The exercise price of the warrant is the greater of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 200% of the conversion price per share of Common Stock as defined in the convertible promissory note. If the market price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the exercise price, Mr. Young may elect a cashless exercise pursuant to the terms set forth in the warrant.

 

The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrant are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of our Common Stock, as well as the issuance of options or other rights to purchase Common Stock at a price less than the exercise price of the warrant.

 

Subject to applicable laws, the warrant may be transferred at Mr. Young’s option in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We do not have in effect any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

 

Penny Stock Regulations

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

    57  

 

 

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the possible resale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders named in the table below of any or all of the shares of Common Stock that has been or may be issued by us to the Selling Stockholders, including shares issuable to Bellridge under the Equity Line and shares issuable to Greentree, L&H, 2 Plus 2, Auctus and Morningview upon conversion of the Greentree Note, the L&H Note, the 2 Plus 2 Note, the Auctus Note and the Morningview Note, respectively. For additional information regarding the transactions relating to the issuance of Common Stock covered by this prospectus, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Arrangements with Selling Stockholders” above.

 

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholders and the shares of Common Stock that they may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders, and reflects holdings as of October 26, 2017. As used in this prospectus, the term “Selling Stockholders” includes the Selling Stockholders, and any donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the shares of Common Stock that the Selling Stockholders may offer under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of its shares offered by this prospectus. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale of any of the shares.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholders has voting and investment power. With respect to the Equity Line with the Selling Stockholders, because the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Bellridge Securities Purchase Agreement is determined on each settlement date, the number of shares that may actually be sold by us under the Bellridge Securities Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Selling Stockholders, including any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby which were acquired under the Equity Line on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to prevailing market prices, fixed prices or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  exchange distributions in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlements of short sales;
     
  transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  writings or settlements of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  combinations of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other methods permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

    60  

 

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) the sale of all of the securities pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person.

The following description of our capital stock is based upon our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, our amended and restated bylaws and applicable provisions of law, in each case as currently in effect. This discussion does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated bylaws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize 1,750,000,000 shares for issuance, each with a par value of $0.001 per share, as follows: 1,700,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 40,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 2,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, 893,807,571 shares of our Class A Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock, and 500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

General . The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Voting . The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings) and the holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to 200 votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings). Unless required by law, there shall be no cumulative voting. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by (in addition to any vote of the holders of one or more series of Series A Preferred Stock that may be authorized by the Board) the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote. Further, holders of the Common Stock shall have no right to vote on the designations, preferences, limitations and relative or other rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or any series thereof (collectively, the “Preferences”), or on any amendment, alteration or repeal of the Preferences or the Series A Preferred Stock, at any time, whether before or after the issuance thereof.

 

    61

Liquidation Preference . The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any liquidation preference.

 

Voting . Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the certificate of designations or as required by law, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not entitle the holders thereof to vote on any matter submitted for shareholder action, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.

 

Conversion . The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the rate of 10 common shares for each preferred share (10-1 conversion rate) (the “Conversion Right”). The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exercise the Conversion Right one year from purchase date of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Redemption Rights; Redemption . To the extent not prohibited by law, all or a portion of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by us for a period of one year from the date of issuance at an amount equal to 130% of the original issue price.

 

Registration Rights

 

In accordance with the Bellridge Registration Rights Agreement, the Greentree Registration Rights Agreement, the L&H Registration Rights Agreement, the 2 Plus 2 Registration Rights Agreement, the Auctus Registration Rights Agreement and the Morningview Registration Rights Agreement, Bellridge, Greentree, L&H, 2 Plus 2, Auctus and Morningview, respectively, are entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible promissory notes issued to Bellridge, Greentree, L&H , 2 Plus 2 , Auctus and the Morningview SPA, respectively (the “Selling Stockholder Registrable Securities”).

 

We are obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the Selling Stockholder Registrable Securities. Upon becoming effective, such registration statement shall remain effective at all times until the earliest of (i) the date that the Selling Stockholders may sell all of the Selling Stockholder Registrable Securities required to be covered by such registration statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the need for current public information as required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (ii) the date the Selling Stockholders no longer own any of the Selling Stockholder Registrable Securities. We must also take such action as is necessary to register and/or qualify the Selling Stockholder Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue-sky laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States.

 

We will pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the registrations described above. However, we will not be responsible for any broker or similar concessions or any legal fees or other costs of the Selling Stockholders.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law and Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation

 

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

    62  

 

 

Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for the authority to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, of which 2,000,000 have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock as described above. The balance of the Preferred Stock, which if issued, could make it more difficult and could discourage a third party from acquiring us.

 

Prohibition on Cumulative Voting

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that a director may only be removed from office for cause by a vote of the majority of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders held for the purpose of removing a director.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Interested Stockholder Statute

 

We are subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (NRS Law Sections 78.411 and 78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the Company, 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% or more of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

NRS limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation include provisions that require the Company to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the NRS, our directors or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of our company, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the NRS. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect our company, our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the NRS and in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws.

 

Dividends

 

Historically, we have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Payment of future dividends on our Common Stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We may determine to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business.

 

    63  

 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our Common Stock or the availability of shares of our Common Stock for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. The availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock acquired through the exercise of outstanding warrants could materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, sales of our Common Stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse as described below, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing market price to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.

 

Sale of Restricted Shares

 

As of October 26, 2017, there were 929,043,334 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The 212,423,706 shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus will be freely tradable, other than by any of our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144(a) under the Securities Act, without restriction or registration under the Securities Act.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including a person who may be deemed an “affiliate” of a company, who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months may sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: (1) 1% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (2) if and when the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under Rule 144. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements as to the manner of sale, notice, and availability of current public information about our company. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of us at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale by such person, and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares for at least one year, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the restrictions described above.

 

We cannot estimate the number of shares of our Common Stock that our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Securities Transfer Corporation, located at 2901 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 380, Plano, Texas 75093. Securities Transfer Corporation’s telephone number is (469) 633-0101.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION’S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Statutes and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

1. Organization – Nature of Operations

 

The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company” or “CHRO”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 28, 1999. On March 24, 2016 FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) approved the name and CUSIP change from USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. to The Chron Organization, Inc. (OTCQB: CHRO). The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “The Chron Organization, Inc.”, to reflect the change in direction of the Company’s business to smart home technologies and the next generation in energy utility services.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Zen Technologies, Inc. The business platform is a combined by the offering of energy services and smart controls. The business model is based upon the belief that these two aspects, combined with an increasing commercial demand for more sustainable business practices will continue to be burgeoning trends. The Company offers a unique value proposition to commercial, industrial, and municipal customers whereby the offer is a means to reduce utility expenses through energy-efficient and smart control products and services. In addition to these services the Company will also provide electricity needs to its customer base through its retail electricity provider subsidiary.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principals of Consolidation –  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Chron Organization, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Zen Technologies, Inc. and Zen Energy, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates  – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management 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 and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See further information in Note 3.  Going Concern .

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents  – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses  – As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 prepaid expenses totaled $50,824 and $40,750, respectively. The balance of prepaid expenses consists of business insurance and rent related expenses.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments -  The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short- and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Stock –  Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive shares outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

 

    September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
             
Related party convertible promissory notes     58,333,333       64,333,333  
Related Party Warrants     32,166,667       32,166,667  
Convertible promissory notes     194,633,333       25,000,000  
Warrants     19,161,000       10,000,000  
Diluted shares outstanding     303,961,000       131,500,000  

 

   F- 6  

 

 

Income Taxes –  The Company estimates its current tax position together with its future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and other reserves for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management must then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, prior year carryback, or future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent management believes that recovery is unlikely, management establishes a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty these assets will be used in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition  - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales. They are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs –  The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature -  The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to mezzanine equity. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Classification  The Company had classified the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheets as the stock was contingently redeemable. Upon the occurrence of certain change in control events that are outside the Company’s control, including liquidation, sale or transfer of the Company, holders of the convertible preferred stock could cause redemption for cash. Pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the SEC finds that a BCF should be separated from a convertible instrument and recorded in additional paid-in capital. However, Company’s filing with the SEC should present BCF as mezzanine equity in order to distinguish them from permanent equity. The balance sheet reflects the redeemable equity instruments as mezzanine equity separate from permanent equity.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). This update is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2014-15 as of the required effective date of December 31, 2016. The Company performed a working capital analysis as of December 31, 2016 to determine whether or not this disclosure was appropriate and included the additional disclosure in Note 3 – Going Concern.

 

When evaluating the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, Management considered the current financial condition, including liquidity sources at the date that the financial statements were issued, the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due or anticipated within one year after the date that the financial statements were issued, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations considering its current financial condition, and other conditions and events, when considered in conjunction with the items pervious mentioned, that may adversely affect its ability to meet its obligations. The Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 as discussed in Note 3 – Going Concern.

3. Going Concern

 

Based on an analysis by the Company under ASU 2014-15, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of these financial statements. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and twelve months ended December 31, 2016 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $2,164,422 and $1,104,795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $4,493,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $2,328,890 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,562,863 and $529,476, respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,459,590 and $856,557, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the 2017 fiscal year, the Company intends to continue its efforts to raise funds to support its efforts through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company has raised $1,531,050 from sales of its common stock, preferred stock, and notes payable.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt. At the present time, the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institution.

7. Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and twelve months ended December 31, 2016, as the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes available in each period. Additionally, it is uncertain if the Company will have taxable income in the future, so a valuation allowance has been established for the full value of net tax assets. The deferred tax asset consists of net operating loss carry forwards and the Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $1,527,726 and $713,387, respectively for federal income tax purposes. This net operating loss carry forwards may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2036 and may be limited in their use due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership.

On July 1, 2016, the Company exchanged 165,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Chron Energy, Inc. (“CEI”), a Nevada corporation to related parties (consisting of the company’s Chief Compliance Officer and an LLC managed by the Company’s President). CEI possessed intellectual property and strategic relationships (the “Assets”) that are integral to the Company’s entrance into the home automation and retail electric provider markets. Generally, the total acquisition consideration price would be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the total of estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed would then be recognized as goodwill. At the date of merger, CEI had no liabilities and the Assets had no carrying value on the books. Since the acquisition was with related parties, no increase in the carrying value of the Assets or goodwill can be realized on the books of the Company.

This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased by the holder upon 61 days notice to the Company. Further, the holder of the Vista 20% OID Notes may not convert the note if such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock to exceed 9.9%.

 

Registration Rights Agreement. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Vista dated as of October 2, 2017 as required pursuant to the terms of the Vista Loan Agreement (the “Vista Registration Rights Agreement”).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

The Chron Organization, Inc.

Plano, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Chron Organization, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this mater are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

 

1. Organization – Nature of Operations

 

The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company” or “CHRO”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 28, 1999. On March 24, 2016 FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) approved the name and CUSIP change from USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. to The Chron Organization, Inc. (OTC PINK: CHRO). The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “The Chron Organization, Inc.”, to reflect the change in direction of the Company’s business to smart home technologies and the next generation in energy utility services.

 

While the FINRA-registered name prior to March 24, 2016 and other registrations may imply and continue to imply an association with the restaurant industry, the Company has no plans or intentions to develop any business within that industry. Further, the entirety of the management team formally associated with the restaurant industry have resigned and new management has been brought in to transition the Company into a different industry entirely.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Zen Technologies, Inc. That subsidiary has since been renamed Zenergy Solutions, Inc. (Zenergy). The Company intends to provide energy conservation services to commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers through Zenergy. In addition to these services, the Company will also provide electricity needs to its customer base through its retail electricity provider subsidiary.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principals of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Chron Organization, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Zen Technologies, Inc. (now Zenergy Solutions, Inc.) All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management 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 and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than continued current involvement, some transactions prior to December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in these financial statements. See further information in Note 7. Discontinued Operations .

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses – As of December 31, 2016 prepaid expenses totaled $40,750. The balance of prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2016, consists of business insurance and rent related expenses. There were no prepaid expenses at December 31, 2015.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As stated above, the Company has discontinued its restaurant activities and as such has determined that the restaurant related assets have no future value and therefore have been written off at December 31, 2015. The carrying value of short- and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Stock – Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

 

   F- 21  

 

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
             
Convertible promissory notes   $ 22,924,901     $ 20,000,000  
Related party convertible promissory notes     64,333,333       43,666,667  
Related Party Warrants     32,166,667       21,833,333  
Warrants     10,000,000       -  
Diluted shares outstanding   $ 129,424,901     $ 85,500,000  

 

Income Taxes – The Company estimates its current tax position together with its future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and other reserves for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management must then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, prior year carryback, or future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent management believes that recovery is unlikely, management establishes a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty these assets will be used in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to mezzanine equity. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Classification - . Pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the SEC finds that a BCF should be separated from a convertible instrument and recorded in additional paid-in capital. However, Company’s filing with the SEC should present BCF as mezzanine equity in order to distinguish them from permanent equity. The balance sheet reflects the redeemable equity instruments as mezzanine equity separate from permanent equity.

3. Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $1,771,738 and $315,856 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $2,328,890 and $557,152 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $529,476 and $140,221 respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,205,814 and $62,546, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the 2016 fiscal year, the Company intends to continue its efforts to raise funds to support its efforts through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company has raised $687,234 from sales of its common stock.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt. At the present time, the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institution.

 

4. Notes Payable

 

Line of Credit

 

On November 13, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) with a third-party for up to $68,000. The Line of Credit carried an interest rate of 3% per annum. In the event of a default under the Line of Credit, the interest rate on the Line of Credit would increase to the lower of 12% per annum or the maximum amount allowed by law. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company settled the note payable in the amount of $68,000 with the issuance of 7,588,888 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. With the issuance of the shares, the Company was released of all existing and potential claims.

 

5. Related Party Convertible Promissory Note

 

As of December 31, 2016, and 2015, the Company had an outstanding related party convertible promissory note of $193,000 and $131,000, respectively, with a maximum availability of $200,000 (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Notes”). See Note 8. Related Party Transactions.

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to a related party (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Note”). The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 2% per annum. The principal balance and accrued interest under the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $193,000 and $131,000, and $3,358 and $264, respectively, and is due on April 30, 2017.

 

The Holder of the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest to shares of common stock of the Company. The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note can be converted by the Holder in part from time to time after the issuance date by submitting notice of conversion. The November 2015 Convertible Promissory Note is convertible at a $0.003 per share conversion price.

 

The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note contained a beneficial conversion feature which resulted in a debt discount of $155,650 which was recorded as a reduction in carrying value of the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 a charge to debt discount in the amount of $143,011 and $10,423, respectively and was expensed as interest expense. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the debt discount was $1,986 and $95,186, respectively.

 

In connection with the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note, the Holder was issued a total of 32,166,667 warrants exercisable at $0.05 expiring in November 2020 (the “Warrants”). The Company determined the fair value of the warrants which resulted in a debt discount of $37,366 which was recorded as a reduction in carrying value of the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Conversion Rate is defined as seventy percent (70%) of the volume weighted average price over the prior ten (10) day trading period from the date of notice of conversion, but in no event, shall the Conversion price be less than $0.02.

The November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature which resulted in a debt discount of $99,123 which was recorded as a reduction in carrying value of the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes and offset in additional mezzanine equity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. A charge to debt discount in the amount of $4,130 was expensed through interest expense. At December 31, 2016, the debt discount was $94,993.

 

In connection with the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes, the Holders were issued 4,000,000 warrants exercisable at $0.05 expiring in November 2019 (the “Warrants”). The Company determined the fair value of the warrants which resulted in a debt discount of $13,409, recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity and is being amortized over the life of the warrants. The balance of the fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2016 was $12,850.

 

Convertible Promissory Note Summary

 

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features and the fair value of the warrants underlying the Convertible Promissory Notes were calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes Model. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Convertible Promissory Note as of December 31, 2016:

 

    December 31, 2016  
       
Convertible Promissory Note   $ 500,000  
Less: debt discount     (228,059 )
Warrants     (38,105 )
Total net carrying value   $ 233,836  

 

7. Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes available in each period. Additionally, it is uncertain if the Company will have taxable income in the future so a valuation allowance has been established for the full value of net tax assets. The deferred tax asset consists of net operating loss carry forwards and the Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $713,387 and $189,432, respectively for federal income tax purposes. This net operating loss carry forwards may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2036 and may be limited in their use due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership.

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
             
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 713,387     $ 189,432  
Less: valuation allowance     (713,387 )     (189,432 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The Company has valued its net deferred tax asset at zero with a valuation allowance due to the substantial doubt taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize the deferred tax asset.

 

8. Related Party Transactions

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued the Chairman of the Board a convertible promissory note, (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Note”) in an amount up to $200,000 along with 32,166,667 warrants. The note accrues interest at 2% per annum. The issuance of the financial instruments was made in the ordinary course of business, and were given fair market treatment. The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note matures on April 30, 2017. See Note 5. Related Party Convertible Promissory Note.

 

Additionally, the Company merged with a company controlled by related parties. See Note 10. Merger.

9. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company has accounted for discontinued operations prior to January 1, 2016 under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . Under this guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. As described in Note 1. The Company has exited the restaurant industry and has shifted its strategy to home automation and energy conservation services. Management believes this adequately qualifies as a strategic shift under Update No. 2014-08. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not generated any revenue from its new services. A reconciliation of amounts included in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 as follows:

 

Revenue   $ 20,100  
Selling general and administrative expenses     (201,161 )
Other Expenses     (3,531 )
Loss from continued operations   $ (184,592 )

 

10. Merger

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company exchanged 165,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Chron Energy, Inc. (“CEI”), a Nevada corporation to related parties (consisting of the company’s Chief Compliance Officer and an LLC managed by the Company’s President). CEI possessed intellectual property and strategic relationships (the “Assets”) that are integral to the Company’s entrance into the home automation and retail electric provider markets. Generally, the total acquisition consideration price would be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the total of estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed would then be recognized as goodwill. CEI had no liabilities and the Assets had no carrying value on the books. Since the acquisition was with related parties, no increase in the carrying value of the Assets or goodwill can be realized on the books of the Company.

 

There was no change of control of the Company as a result of the Merger. See Note 8 . Related Party Transitions .

 

11. Shareholder Equity

 

On February 11, 2016, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation.

As of December 31, 2016, there are 853,262,525 Class A Common Stock shares issued, ten million (10,000,000) Class B Common Stock shares issued, and there has been no issuance of Preferred Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock shall have one vote and each share of Class B Stock shall have 200 votes. The votes of Class A and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class.

12. Contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies including possible disputes and lawsuits. Management believes that any outcome of such contingences will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of future operations.

The table below lists various expenses payable in connection with the sale and distribution of the securities being registered hereby. All the expenses are estimates, except the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration fee. All such expenses will be borne by the Company; none of the expenses will be borne by the selling stockholders.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The only statute, charter provision, by-law, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officers of the registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:

 

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, limit the liability of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for: (i) breach of the directors’ duty of loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) the unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Nevada law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a director’s duty of care, and this provision of our certificate of incorporation has no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunction or rescission, based upon a director’s breach of the duty of care.

 

The effect of the foregoing is to require us to indemnify our officers and directors for any claim arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful

At present, the Company does maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance coverage.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Effective on June 8, 2017, the Company completed the sale to Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”) of a convertible promissory note (the “Crown Bridge Note”) and a common stock purchase warrant (the “Crown Bridge Warrant”). Crown Bridge purchased the Crown Bridge Note in the principal amount of $46,000 for a purchase price of $40,000 and the Crown Bridge Warrant to purchase 920,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The purchase price for the Crown Bridge Note was $40,000, thereby reflecting an original issue discount of $6,000 (i.e., the spread between the face amount of the Crown Bridge Note of $46,000 and the purchase price of $40,000). The Crown Bridge Note carries a prorated original issue discount of $6,000.00 and bears interest at the rate of 5% per year. On August 23, 2017, the Company paid off the Crown Bridge Note.

 

The Crown Bridge Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years and entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The exercise price of the Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. In addition, the exercise price of provided for in the Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of its Class A common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect. If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. In addition, the Crown Bridge Warrant may become exercisable on a cashless basis if the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds the exercise price then in effect. Market price means the highest traded price of our common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of any exercise notice issued by the holder of the Crown Bridge Warrant.

The Vista Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to, among other things, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (1) file a registration statement covering Vista’s resale of the common stock underlying the Vista 20% OID Notes within ninety (90) days following the Original Issue Date. If the Company fails to comply with the registration requirements or a registration statement ceases to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose, the Company is obligated to pay Vista liquidated damages.

 

Bellridge Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On November 3, 2017, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Bellridge, pursuant to which Bellridge has agreed to purchase from us up to $2,500,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations from time to time over a 24-month period commencing four trading days after the date of effectiveness of a registration statement which provides for the resale of such shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The shares issuable to Bellridge under the Equity Purchase Agreement are being offered pursuant to this prospectus. The likelihood that the Company will receive the full amount of proceeds available under the Equity Purchase Agreement and its reliance on Bellridge as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. At a price per share of $[___], the Company would have to issue [__] shares to access the full $2,500,000 available under the agreement with Bellridge. No fees or commissions are required to be paid upon the sale to Bellridge of these shares. The Company agreed to reimburse Bellridge $12,500 for legal fees incurred in connection with this transaction.

 

Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement which provides for the resale of the shares, we may direct Bellridge, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $250,000 of shares (each a “Draw Down”) that is no more than 300% of the average trading volume of our common stock during the 10-day period immediately prior to the Draw Down. The purchase price of the shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement is 80% multiplied by the lowest trade price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to each Draw Down notice representing a 20% discount.

 

II- 9

 

 

We will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Bellridge but we may not request a Draw Down less than ten business days apart.

 

The shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, convertible notes and warrants and preferred stock issued by the Company were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Securities Act”).

 

The Class A common stock issued in connection with the conversion of convertible notes were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

  (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
   
  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
   
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement;
   
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
   
  (4) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
   
  (A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
   
  (B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§ 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§ 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

II- 10

 

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

  (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
   
  (1) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) or under the securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
   
  (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities as that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
