PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR

January 22, 2021

Subject to Completion

An offering statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Preliminary Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the offering statement filed with the Commission is qualified. This Preliminary Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor may there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. We may elect to satisfy our obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale to you that contains the URL where the Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.

  

THE GRAYSTONE COMPANY, INC.

 

UP TO 200,000,000 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

PRICE: $0.03 PER SHARE

MINIMUM INVESTMENT: $0.03 (1 SHARE)

SEE “SECURITIES BEING OFFERED” AT PAGE 40

 

The Graystone Company, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ours”) is offering a maximum of up to 200,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (referred to herein as the “Shares” or the “Class A Common Stock”) in a “Tier 2” offering under Regulation A (the “Offering”). The minimum investment amount per investor in this offering is $0.03, or one (1) share of Class A Common Stock.

 

This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold in this Offering. Offers and sales of the Shares will be made by our management, and specifically by our Chief Executive Officer, Anastasia Shishova, who will not receive any commissions or other remunerations for her efforts. We reserve the right to engage the services of a registered broker-dealer who will offer, sell and process the subscriptions for the Shares, although we do not presently expect to engage such selling agent. If any broker-dealer or other agent/person is engaged to sell our Shares, we will file a post-qualification amendment to the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part disclosing the names and compensation arrangements prior to any sales by such persons. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 17 in this Offering Circular.

 

All of the Shares being offered for sale by the Company in this Offering will be sold at a fixed price of $0.03 per share for the duration of the Offering. There is no minimum amount we are required to raise from the Shares being offered hereby. There is no guarantee that we will sell any of the Shares being offered in this Offering. Additionally, there is no guarantee that this Offering will successfully raise enough funds to implement our Company’s business plan or to pay for the expenses of this Offering. Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink No Information Tier of OTC Markets under the symbol, “GYST.” On January 20, 2021, the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock was $0.0138 per share. We are currently labeled as “Dark or Defunct” and have a red stop sign next to our name on OTC Markets because the Company has not made any required disclosures with OTC Markets since we filed our quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

 

The approximate date of the commencement of the sales of the Shares in this Offering will be within two calendar days from the date on which the Offering is qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) and on a continuous basis thereafter until the maximum number of Shares offered hereby are sold. All funds received in this Offering will not be placed in escrow and will be immediately available to us. All offering expenses will be borne by us and will be paid out of the proceeds of this Offering.

 

This Offering will terminate at the earlier of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold; (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date that the SEC deems this offering statement qualified, unless extended by our Company for an additional ninety (90) days, or (iii) the date the Offering is earlier terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion. At least every 12 months after this Offering has been qualified by the SEC, if the Offering is still ongoing at such time, the Company will file a post-qualification amendment to include the Company’s recent financial statements. The Company may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the Company. No sales of Shares will be made prior to the qualification of the Offering statement by the SEC.

Before the payment of our expenses in this Offering which we estimate will be approximately $47,500. See “Use of Proceeds” appearing on page 24 of this Offering Circular. All expenses of the offering will be paid for by us using the proceeds of this Offering.

  

If all the Shares are not sold in the Company’s Offering, there is the possibility that the amount raised may be minimal and might not even cover the costs of the Offering, which the Company estimates at $47,500. The proceeds from the sale of the securities will be placed directly into the Company’s account; any investor who purchases Shares will have no assurance that any monies, beside their own, will be subscribed to in the Offering. All proceeds from the sale of the securities are non-refundable, except as may be required by applicable laws. All expenses incurred in this Offering are being paid for by the Company from the proceeds of the Offering.

THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS

 

Our Shares are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this Offering is exempt from state law “Blue Sky” review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Shares offered hereby are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Shares are listed on a national securities exchange. “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Shares does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

 

To determine whether a potential investor is an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who:

 

 

1.

whose net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person; or

 

 

 

 

2.

had earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse or spousal equivalent exceeding $300,000 for those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year; or

 

 

 

 

3.

is holding in good standing one or more professional certifications or designations or credentials from an accredited educational institution that the SEC has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status; or

 

 

 

 

4.

is a “family client,” as defined by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, of a family office meeting the requirements in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and whose prospective investment in the issuer is directed by such family office pursuant to Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

 

For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Class A Common Stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this Offering Circular. The statements contained in this Offering Circular that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the value of our Class A Common Stock could decline, and an investor in our securities may lose all or part of their investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We have a limited operating history with respect to our new line of business. Such limited operating history may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

 

We have limited experience and a limited operating history as a company seeking to be a producer of wellness products in which to assess our future prospects as a company, as we only started this new line of business in November 2020 after the Reverse Merger was effected. In addition, the market for our planned products and services is highly competitive. If we fail to successfully develop and offer our products in an increasingly competitive market, we may not be able to capture the growth opportunities associated with them or recover our development and marketing costs, and our future results of operations and growth strategies could be adversely affected. Our limited operating history may not provide a meaningful basis for investors to evaluate our business, financial performance, and prospects.

 

Our management has concluded that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the period from November 6, 2020 to November 30, 2020.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses of $1,240 during the period ended November 30, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,240 as of November 30, 2020. In addition, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,140 as of November 30, 2020. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available to the Company, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is raised. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our products are not yet fully developed, and there is no guarantee that we will successfully develop our products.

 

The development of the Fertility and Longevity and Wellness products that we intend to produce is a costly, complex and time-consuming process, and the investment in product development often involves a long wait until a return, if any, is achieved on such investment. We continue to make investments in new products, which are inherently speculative. Unforeseen obstacles and challenges we encounter in development process may result in delays in or abandonment of product commercialization, may substantially increase the costs of development, and may negatively affect our results of operations. If we are unable to develop and commercialize our products successfully, it will significantly affect our viability as a company.

We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.

 

Our shareholders may lose their entire investment if we fail to execute our business plan. Our prospects must be considered in light of the following risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, competition, the erosion of ongoing revenue streams, the ability to retain experienced personnel and general economic conditions. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business plan. If we fail to successfully execute our business plan, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case our shareholders may lose their entire investment.

 

If we fail to increase our brand recognition, we may face difficulty in obtaining customers.

 

Because we have not yet started selling our products, we currently do not have strong brand identity or brand loyalty. We believe that establishing and maintaining brand identity and brand loyalty is critical to attracting customers once we have commercially viable products. Maintaining and enhancing our brand recognition in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of future products and is an important element in our effort to increase our customer base. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on our ability to maintain a sizeable and active customer base, our marketing efforts and our ability to provide reliable and useful products at competitive prices. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we will incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, in which case our business, operating results and financial condition, would be materially adversely affected.

 

Our business is subject to inherent risks relating to product liability and personal injury claims.

 

As a seller of products designed for human consumption, we are subject to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury. Our products consist of minerals, herbs and other ingredients that are classified as foods or dietary supplements and are not subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the United States. Our products could contain contaminated substances, and some of our products contain ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these ingredients could occur. We may also be obligated to recall affected products. If we are found liable for product liability claims, we could be required to pay substantial monetary damages. Furthermore, even if we successfully defend ourselves against this type of claim, we could be required to spend significant management, financial and other resources, which could disrupt our business, and our reputation as well as our brand name may also suffer. We do not carry product liability insurance. As a result, any imposition of product liability could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we do not have any business interruption insurance, and as a result, any business disruption or natural disaster could severely disrupt our business and operations and significantly decrease our revenue and profitability.

 

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations, and may incur significant penalties for noncompliance with such laws and regulations.

 

The manufacture, labeling and distribution of the products that we intend to distribute is regulated by various federal, state and local agencies. These governmental authorities may commence regulatory or legal proceedings, which could restrict the permissible scope of our product claims or the ability to sell our products in the future. The FDA regulates our products to ensure that the products are not adulterated or misbranded.

 

Failure to comply with FDA requirements may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. Our advertising is subject to regulation by the FTC under the FTCA. In recent years, the FTC has initiated numerous investigations of dietary and nutrition supplement products and companies. Additionally, some states also permit advertising and labeling laws to be enforced by private attorney generals, who may seek relief for consumers, seek class action certifications, seek class wide damages and product recalls of products sold by us. Any actions against us by governmental authorities or private litigants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Political, economic and regulatory policies may vary from country to country.

 

Changes in the general political, economic and regulatory policies of the countries that we plan to buy materials for our products from, or in which we plan to operate, may adversely affect our planned business activities, ability to execute our plan of operations and financial performance. Examples of political, economic and regulatory policy changes include, among others, changes in political leadership or system of government; changes in monetary and fiscal policy; expropriation or nationalization of businesses owned by foreigners; currency devaluation; the imposition of foreign exchange controls; changes to the tax code; renegotiation or nullification of existing licenses, permits, leases or other contracts or agreements; and financial crisis.

 

Our planned acquisition of raw materials from international sources subjects us to risk from currency fluctuations.

 

Because of our planned international sourcing of raw materials, we are going to be subject to risks from currency fluctuations, such as changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. dollar, as our initial raw materials are expected to be acquired from Japan. For example, if the value of the Japanese Yen were to increase compared to the value of the U.S. dollar, we could receive less value for purchases of raw materials when purchasing in Japan, which could force us to increase our prices, or settle for lower margins on our product sales. If either of these outcomes occur, our results of operations may be harmed.

 

Adverse publicity or consumer perception of our products and any similar products distributed by others could harm our reputation and adversely affect our sales and revenues.

 

We believe we are highly dependent upon positive consumer perceptions of the safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by other nutrition supplement companies. Consumer perception of nutrition supplements and our products, in particular, can be substantially influenced by scientific research or findings, national media attention and other publicity about product use. Adverse publicity from these sources regarding the safety, quality or efficacy of nutritional supplements and our products could harm our reputation and results of operations. The mere publication of news articles or reports asserting that such products may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such news articles or reports are scientifically supported or whether the claimed harmful effects would be present at the dosages recommended for such products.

 

The industry of Fertility and Longevity and Wellness dietary supplements and products is highly competitive, and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, financial condition and future growth.

 

The industry of Fertility and Longevity and Wellness-related supplements and products we intend to produce is highly competitive with respect to price, brand and product recognition and new product introductions. Several of our competitors are larger, more established and possess greater financial, personnel, distribution and other resources. We face competition (a) in the health food channel from a limited number of large nationally known manufacturers, private label brands and many smaller manufacturers of dietary and nutrition supplements; and (b) in the mass-market distribution channel from manufacturers, major private label manufacturers and others. Private label brands at mass-market chains represent substantial sources of income for these merchants and the mass-market merchants often support their own labels at the expense of other brands. As such, the growth of our brands within food, drug, and general mass-market merchants are highly competitive and uncertain. If we cannot compete effectively, we may not be profitable.

 

A shortage in the supply of key raw materials used needed to manufacture our products could increase our costs or adversely affect our sales and revenues.

 

Our inability to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or a material increase in the price of the raw materials used in our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The purchase of many of our products is discretionary, and may be negatively impacted by adverse trends in the general economy and make it more difficult for us to generate revenues.

 

Our business is affected by general economic conditions since our products are discretionary and we depend, to a significant extent, upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending. These factors include economic conditions and perceptions of such conditions by consumers, employment rates, the level of consumers' disposable income, business conditions, interest rates, consumer debt levels and availability of credit. Consumer spending on our products may be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions.

We may not be able to anticipate consumer preferences and trends within the diet and nutritional industry, which could negatively affect acceptance of our products by retailers and consumers and result in a significant decrease in our revenues.

 

Our products must appeal to a broad range of consumers, whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to rapid change. Our products will need to successfully meet constantly changing consumer demands. If our products are not successfully received by our customers, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be harmed.

 

Compliance with Regulation A and reporting to the SEC could be costly.

 

Compliance with Regulation A could be costly and requires legal and accounting expertise. We have limited experience complying with the provisions of Regulation A or making the public filings required by the rule. After this offering is qualified by the SEC, we’ll have to file an annual report on Form 1-K, a semiannual report on Form 1-SA, and current reports on Form 1-U. Our staff may need to be increased in order to comply with our Regulation A reporting requirements. Compliance with Regulation A will also require greater expenditures on outside counsel and outside auditors in order to remain in compliance. Failure to remain in compliance with Regulation A may subject us to sanctions, penalties, and reputational damage and would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. Therefore, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies and our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

 

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for companies under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year. Therefore, our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

 

We do not have any intellectual property rights, and our CEO is the holder of certain trademark applications, which she permits us to use, if she no longer permits such use or if she is unable to protect them or they become subject to intellectual property rights claims, our business may be harmed.

 

The particular formulas, blends, and components of the products we develop are important assets for us, as are the names for our product lines. We do not hold any patents protecting our intellectual property, and our CEO has filed a trademark applications for “Commodity Wellness” “Ferō”, and the slogan “Nourish the body, heal the Earth” recently, which have not yet been granted as of the date of this Offering Circular. Our CEO permits us the right to use the foregoing trademarks. However, there is no written agreement memorializing the right to use the trademarks and our CEO can choose to stop allowing us this right at any time. Further, various events outside of our control pose a threat to such intellectual property rights as well as to our business. Regardless of the merits of the claims, any intellectual property claims could be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle. In addition, if any claims against us are successful, we may have to pay substantial monetary damages or discontinue any of our practices that are found to be in violation of another party’s rights. We also may have to seek a license to continue such practices, which may significantly increase our operating expenses or may not be available to us at all. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete.

We are reliant on the efforts of our sole executive officer, Anastasia Shishova.

 

We rely on our Chief Executive Officer, Anastasia Shishova, and will need additional key personnel to grow our business, and the loss of key personnel or inability to hire key personnel could harm our business. We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our Chief Executive Officer, who has expertise that could not be easily replaced if we were to lose her services.

 

The ability of our Chief Executive Officer to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.

 

Voting control of the Company is held by Anastasia Shishova, our Chief Executive Officer, who owns approximately 90% of the voting power of the Company because she currently owns 46,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, which carries 2,500 votes per share, giving her voting control of the Company. Because of this voting control, she will be in a position to significantly influence membership of our board of directors, as well as all other matters requiring stockholder approval. The interests of our Chief Executive Officer may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of other officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority stockholders will have no way of overriding decisions made by our Chief Executive Officer.

 

There is a Voter Agreement between our Chief Executive Officer and our largest shareholder that may limit minority stockholder’s ability to influence corporate affairs.

 

On January 15, 2021, all of the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock entered into a Voter Agreement (the “Voter Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares in the Company in a manner such that the number of shares of Class B Common Stock authorized by the Company will not be increased above 51,000,000 without the unanimous consent of each holder of the Class B Common Stock. Further, pursuant to the Voter Agreement, the holders agreed not to vote in favor of the creation of any class of stock that will have superior rights to the Class B Common Stock without the approval of each Class B holders. The parties to the Voter Agreement include Anastasia Shishova, our Chief Executive Officer and Paul Howarth, our largest shareholder. Anastasia Shishova holds 46,000,000 Class B Common Stock shares of the Company and Paul Howarth holds 5,000,000 Class B Common Stock shares of the Company. The Voter Agreement therefore has the effect of preserving the voting rights of each of Ms. Shishova and Mr. Howarth, as each share of Class B Common Stock carries 2,500 votes per share, and together, these individuals own 51,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing all of the authorized Class B Common Stock. Therefore, no additional shares of Class B Common Stock can be authorized and issued without the consent of these two individuals, providing them with significant control over the Company’s business. It is unlikely that investors in this offering will have any meaningful ability to influence the Company’s operations.

 

The current outbreak of the coronavirus may have a negative effect on our ability to conduct our business and operations and may also cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and could materially harm our Company.

 

If the current outbreak of the coronavirus continues to grow, the effects of such a widespread infectious disease and epidemic may inhibit our ability to conduct our business and operations and could materially harm our Company. The coronavirus may cause us to have to reduce operations as a result of various lock-down procedures enacted by the local, state or federal government, which could restrict our ability to conduct our business operations. The coronavirus may also cause a decrease in spending on the types of products that we plan to offer, as a result of the economic turmoil resulting from the spread of the coronavirus and thereby having a negative effect on our ability to generate revenue from the sales of our products.. The continued coronavirus outbreak may also restrict our ability to raise funding when needed and may also cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole. The specific and actual effects of the spread of coronavirus are difficult to assess at this time as the actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of the Company. However, the spread of the coronavirus, if it continues, may cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and also may materially harm our Company.

We are a holding company and depend upon our subsidiary for our cash flows.

 

We are a holding company. All of our operations are conducted, and almost all of our assets are owned, by our subsidiary, NutraGyst. Consequently, our cash flows and our ability to meet our obligations depend upon the cash flows of our subsidiary and the payment of funds by this subsidiary to us in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise. The ability of our subsidiary to make any payments to us depends on its earnings, the terms of their indebtedness, including the terms of any credit facilities and legal restrictions. Any failure to receive dividends or distributions from our subsidiary when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering

 

Investment in our Class A Common Stock is speculative.

 

The Shares being sold in this offering are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in our Shares. Before purchasing any of our Shares, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

There is no current liquid market for the shares of our Class A Common Stock. We may not continue to satisfy the requirements for quotation on the Pink Tier of OTC Markets and, even if we do, an active market for our Class A Common Stock may not develop. Further, the Company currently has a “Dark or Defunct” status and a “Pink No Information” Stop Sign Symbol on OTC Markets related to the Class A Common Stock shares.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink No Information Tier of OTC Markets under the symbol, “GYST.” On January 20, 2021, the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the OTC Pink was $0.0138 per share. We are currently labeled as “Dark or Defunct” and have a red stop sign next to our name on OTC Markets because the Company has not made any required disclosures with OTC Markets since we filed our quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Under Regulation A, shares of Common Stock that we sell to non-affiliates of the Company in this Offering are freely tradeable and not restricted. Any securities purchased in this Offering by affiliates of the Company are considered control securities. Nonetheless, even though our Class A Common Stock shares are quoted, that does not mean that there is or will be a liquid market for our Class A Common Stock. Whether or not we’re quoted on a market, or listed on an exchange, investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment for some time, or be able to pledge their shares as collateral, or be able to hold the stock in a traditional brokerage account. Without a liquid market for our Class A Common Stock, it may be impossible for shareholders to be able to value their stock, reducing or eliminating the value of the stock as an incentive. Even if we continue to satisfy the requirements of the OTC Markets Pink Tier, it is not a stock exchange. As a result, there may be significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our Class A Common Stock than there would be if our shares were listed on a stock exchange, which may lead to lower trading prices for our Class A Common Stock.

 

Our Class A Common Stock price may decrease due to factors beyond our control.

 

The stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for early stage companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our stock, if a trading market for our stock ever develops. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of their stock in the public market, the price of our stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity-related securities, in the future at a price we deem appropriate.

 

The market price of our stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control:

 

 

·

variations in our quarterly operating results,

 

·

changes in general economic conditions,

 

·

changes in market valuations of similar companies,

 

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or capital commitments,

 

·

poor reviews, and

 

·

the addition or loss of key managerial and collaborative personnel.

The market price for our Class A Common Stocks is particularly volatile which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your Class A Common Stock shares at or above your purchase price, or at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.

 

The market for our Class A Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Class A Common Stock shares will be at any time, or if our Class A Common Stock shares will be able to continue to trade, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of Class A Common Stock shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

 

The sale and issuance of additional shares of our Class A Common Stock could cause dilution as well as the value of our Class A Common Stock to decline.

Investors’ interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue up to 555,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are Class A Common Stock, 51,000,000 are Class B Common Stock and 4,000,000 are Preferred Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock has a par value of $.0001. Each share of Class B Common Stock has a par value of $0.001. Each share of Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.0001. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our Class A Common Stock. If we do sell or issue more Class A Common Stock, any investors’ investment in the Company will be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in the Company’s Class A Common Stock could seriously decline in value.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares. The SEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

 

 

·

that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and

 

·

the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

  

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

 

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and

 

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

  

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

 

·

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and

 

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Class A Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Table of Contents

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. 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. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Class A Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board.

 

We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.

 

The stock market in general, and the shares of early-stage companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies involved. If these fluctuations occur in the future, the market price of our shares could fall regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If the market price or volume of our shares suffers extreme fluctuations, then we may become involved in this type of litigation, which would be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources from managing our business.

 

As a public company, we may also from time to time make forward-looking statements about future operating results and provide some financial guidance to the public markets. Projections may not be made timely or set at expected performance levels and could materially affect the price of our shares. Any failure to meet published forward-looking statements that adversely affect the stock price could result in losses to investors, stockholder lawsuits or other litigation, sanctions or restrictions issued by the SEC.

There is a risk the Offering will not close.

 

There are numerous possible scenarios pursuant to which this Offering may be abandoned prior to any closing, including a material adverse change or event in the capital markets, which could make it impracticable to consummate the Offering. The emergence of material litigation regarding the Company, the outbreak of war or hostilities, or the Company’s determination that the Offering should be delayed, suspended, or abandoned, due to these or other unforeseeable events.

 

DILUTION

 

The term ’dilution’ refers to the reduction (as a percentage of the aggregate Shares outstanding) that occurs for any given share of stock when additional Shares are issued. If all of the Shares in this offering are fully subscribed and sold at the maximum price of $0.03 per share, the Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 57.74% of the total Shares of the Company. The Company anticipates that subsequent to this Offering the Company may require additional capital and such capital may take the form of Common Stock, other stock or securities or debt convertible into stock. Such future fund raising will further dilute the percentage ownership of the Shares sold herein in the Company.

 

As of the date of this Offering, the net tangible book value of the Company was approximately $(0.000), based on 146,391,521 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular, that equates to a net tangible book value of approximately $(0.000) per share of Class A Common Stock on a proforma basis. Net tangible book value per share consists of shareholders’ equity divided by the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. The pro forma net tangible book value, assuming full subscription in this Offering, would be $0.0173 per share of Common Stock.

 

Purchasers of our Class A Common Stock in this Offering will experience an immediate dilution of net tangible book value per share from the public offering price. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of shares of Class A Common Stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after this Offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The offering price of the Shares has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. We cannot assure you that a public market for our securities will develop or continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price.

  

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold in this Offering. Offers and sales of the Shares will be made by our management, and specifically by our Chief Executive Officer, Anastasia Shishova, who will not receive any commissions or other remunerations for her efforts. We reserve the right to engage the services of a registered broker-dealer who will offer, sell and process the subscriptions for the Shares, although we do not presently expect to engage such selling agent. If any broker-dealer or other agent/person is engaged to sell our Shares, we will file a post-qualification amendment to the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part disclosing the names and compensation arrangements prior to any sales by such persons.

 

The Company has 146,391,521 shares of its Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular. The Company is offering up to 200,000,000 Shares in this Offering. All of the Shares being offered for sale by the Company in this Offering will be sold at a fixed price of $0.03 per share for the duration of the Offering. There is no minimum amount we are required to raise from the Shares being offered hereby. There is no guarantee that we will sell any of the Shares being offered in this Offering. Additionally, there is no guarantee that this Offering will successfully raise enough funds to implement our Company’s business plan or pay for the expenses of this Offering, which we estimate to be $47,500. Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink No Information Tier of OTC Markets under the symbol, “GYST.” On January 20, 2021, the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the OTC Pink was $0.0138 per share. We are currently labeled as “Dark or Defunct” and have a red stop sign next to our name on OTC Markets because the Company has not made any required disclosures with OTC Markets since we filed our quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

 

The approximate date of the commencement of the sales of the Shares will be within two calendar days from the date on which the Offering is qualified by the SEC and on a continuous basis thereafter until the maximum number of Shares offered hereby are sold. All funds received in this Offering will not be placed in escrow and will be immediately available to us. All offering expenses will be borne by us and will be paid out of the proceeds of this Offering.

 

This Offering will terminate at the earlier of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold; (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date that the SEC deems this offering statement qualified, unless extended by our Company for an additional ninety (90) days, or (iii) the date the Offering is earlier terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion. At least every 12 months after this Offering has been qualified by the SEC, if the Offering is still ongoing at such time, the Company will file a post-qualification amendment to include the Company’s recent financial statements. The Company may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the Company. No sales of Shares will be made prior to the qualification of the Offering statement by the SEC.

We are committed to developing products that promote wellness and environmental responsibility, by seeking to create quality products and using recycled and biodegradable materials for packaging. We are committed to have our operations be carbon neutral through a series of interventions that protect, improve, and restore nature. Recognizing the next decade represents a critical window for the world to accelerate progress on climate change, we are focused on developing products that we believe are not only good for the human body, but also sustainable and good for the Earth.

The address of our web site is www.thegraystonecompany.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, the website is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this Offering Circular.

 

Organizational History

 

The Graystone Company, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of New York on May 27, 2010 under the name of Argentum Capital, Inc.,. The Company was reincorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2011 and subsequently changed its name to The Graystone Company, Inc. on January 14, 2011. The Company was reincorporated in Colorado on May 1, 2016. The Company is domiciled in the state of Florida, where it maintains its corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

 

Reverse Merger

 

Pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) between the Company and NutraGyst Inc., dated November 6, 2020, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NutraGyst, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“NutraGyst”), in exchange for 46,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The parties also agreed that, upon the closing of the transactions agreed upon in the Acquisition Agreement, new directors and officers of Graystone would be appointed by NutraGyst. The foregoing description of the Acquisition Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Acquisition Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On November 6, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company executed the Reverse Merger with NutraGyst, Inc. whereby the Company acquired 100% of NutraGyst, in exchange for 46,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common stock. Immediately prior to the Reverse Merger, there were 146,391,521 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 617 shares of Preferred shares outstanding, MT Soeparmo was the sole officer/director of the Company and Paul Howarth had 97% of the voting power of the Company. After the Reverse Merger, the Company had 146,391,521 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 51,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 617 shares of Preferred shares outstanding. Additionally, on November 10, 2020, MT Soeparmo resigned as officer and director and Anastasia Shishova was appointed as CEO and Director and Greg Tucker was appointed as Director.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company issued 46,000,000 shares of its unregistered Class B Common Stock to the shareholder of NutraGyst, which was our CEO, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of NutraGyst’s common stock, representing 100% of its issued and outstanding common stock and as a result of the Reverse Merger, NutraGyst became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each share of Class B Common Stock has voting rights equal to 2,500 votes per share compared to Class A Common Stock voting rights equal to 1 vote per share. As a result, our CEO Anastasia Shishova owned approximately 90% of the voting power of the Company after the Reverse Merger.

 

Prior to the Reverse Merger, the Company had no operations, assets or liabilities. As such, as a result of the Reverse Merger, the business of NutraGyst became the business of the Company going forward.

Our Mission

 

We are committed to have our operations be carbon neutral through a series of interventions that protect, improve, and restore nature. Recognizing the next decade represents a critical window for the world to accelerate progress on climate change, we are focused on developing products that we believe are not only good for the human body, but also sustainable and good for the Earth by seeking to use recycled and biodegradable materials for packaging. Additionally, the Company has joined a charity program replanting trees in partnership with the US Forest Service and National Forest Foundation. For each product sold, we will plant a tree in one of the US National Forests. For each 2 trees we plant, we will help to remove one (1) ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Our goal is to support wildfire recovery, improve water quality, and mitigate climate change. We joined this program in November 2020.

 

We plan to generate revenues through the sales of our planned products. We have not sold any products or generated any revenues to date.

 

Principal Products and Services

 

We are primarily focused on developing products for two planned product lines in (i) Fertility and (ii) Longevity and Wellness. We intend to create products for these lines using original supplement blends formulated by the Company based on an innovative and sustainable approach. We intend to design and produce products with high-end, quality ingredients that are plant based, Non-GMO, gluten and lactose-free. It is planned that these products will be distributed by NutraGyst, Inc.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has not yet fully implemented our business plan. Final versions of our planned products are still in development, and the Company has not yet sold any products. The following is a description of the Company’s planned products under each of the Fertility and Longevity and Wellness product lines, as well as their current status of development.

 

Fertility Product Line: Ferō

 

We are currently developing products for our Fertility product line under the applied for, but not yet granted, trademark “Ferō. For our Fertility line, we intend to offer products in three sub-categories related to fertility:

 

 

·

Fertility Support (Ferō Fertility)

 

·

Prenatal and Postnatal Personal Hygiene and Beauty (Ferō Beauty)

 

·

Baby Care Products (Ferō Baby)

Table of Contents

  

Ferō Fertility: The primary product we intend to offer under this product line is our “5 Day Fertility Detox Kit” which is a unique modified fasting program that we have developed. This is an all-inclusive modified fasting program for both men and women that aims to help to increase their chances of conception. We designed our fertility kit with the expertise of world-renowned doctors, based on decades of their scientific research suggesting that modified fasting helps the whole body get ready for conceiving through detoxification, enhancing quality of sperm in men, and regulating ovulation in women, seeking to create an ideal environment for conception in general. We believe that our 5-day modified fasting program sets the scene for the body to balance its hormones while maximizing liver function. It also allows burning of excess fat and lowering stress levels, all of which could be damaging to human reproductive ability. Autophagy is the body’s natural mechanism of regeneration that initiates in humans after 18-20 hours of fasting, with maximum detox benefits occurring once the 48–72 hour mark has been reached. Fasting for such long periods of time can be not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally challenging, thus most people fail before they are able to achieve the benefits of autophagy. We are designing our 5 Day Fertility Detox Kit with the aim to solve that issue and make the process of restrictive eating as easy and safe as possible. Our planned kit consists of everything we believe a customer needs to accomplish the modified fast in 5 days, providing an optimal amount of nutrients and electrolytes while helping the body to achieve its natural autophagy state. Each day of our 5 Day Fertility Detox Kit will include proprietary blend of supplements, pre-packaged plant-based meals and drinks rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and electrolytes for adequate rehydration, seeking to put less stress on your body than other conventional fasting methods while still giving you the same regenerative benefits. We expect to launch 5 Day Fertility Detox Kit in the 4th quarter of 2021.

 

In addition to our 5 Day Fertility Detox Kit, Ferō Fertility will also include fertility supplements for both male and female designed to increase the chances of conception, as well as prenatal and post-natal vitamins to provide key nutrients that help women along their path to pregnancy and afterwards.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we are working on finalizing the formulas and individual products that will be included in the 5 Day Fertility Detox Kit and the blends for the fertility, pre-natal and post-natal supplements that we also intend to offer under the Ferō Fertility line. We expect to launch the fertility, pre-natal and post-natal supplements in September 2021 and the 5 Day Fertility Detox Kit in November 2021.

 

Ferō Beauty: This category of our product line is planned to consist of feminine hygiene and skin care products with safe and effective formulas, specifically designed for women who are pregnant or preparing for pregnancy and are looking for products that are plant based with simple ingredients without chemicals, toxins, or artificial fragrances. The line will consist of daily necessities such as anti-stretchmark oils and lotions, a gentle feminine hygiene wash and wipes, and a menstrual cup for those who is not yet pregnant and looking to avoid toxins that are commonly found in most feminine hygiene products like tampons and pads. Our philosophy for this line is that women should not have to compromise between what works and what is good for a women’s pregnant body.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we are working on finalizing the individual products and formulations that will be included under the Ferō Beauty product line. We expect to launch this brand and the products under this brand in 2022.

 

Ferō Baby: Once a woman becomes pregnant, she is not only looking for the safest and most effective products to support her own body during that special time, but also the safest products for her baby’s needs. With that thought in mind, Ferō Baby will include safe newborn essentials products for sensitive baby skin like gentle baby wash, wipes, after-bath lotion, and a rash balm.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we are working on finalizing the formulations for the products we intend to include in this line, as well as determining the specific products that will ultimately be included in this product line at launch. We expect to launch this brand in 2022.

Longevity and Wellness Product Line: Commodity Wellness:

 

We are currently developing the following products for our Longevity and Wellness product line under the applied for, but not yet granted, trademark “Commodity Wellness:

 

Mushroom Immunity Support Extract: This is a proprietary blend of Japanese mushrooms in a form of a liquid concentrate for better absorption. Our proprietary blend contains a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that help naturally slow down the aging process of a human body, support the immune system, and fight inflammation without harmful side effects that many conventional drugs have.

 

Fucoidan Based Longevity Booster. This is a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant blend with rejuvenating properties. The main ingredient of this proprietary blend is fucoidan, a complex polysaccharide found in many species of brown seaweed. According to information published by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as of January 2021, studies on fucoidan suggest that it can prevent the growth of cancer cells and has antiviral, neuroprotective, and immune-modulating effects. Other benefits include anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulant (prevents blood clotting), anti-thrombotic (reduces the formation of clots), anti-angiogenic (reduces the growth of new blood vessels), anti-viral, anti-tumor, and anti-oxidant effects on the body.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company is working to finalize the product formulas for our custom original supplement blends. The Company is also developing the packaging of these products for marketing and branding purposes. The Company estimates that it will launch these products under the Commodity Wellness name by July 2021.

 

The Market for our Products

 

Fertility Market

 

The global fertility supplements market size is projected to reach $2.39 billion by 2025, according to a report published by Grand View Research, Inc. in July 2019. It is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 7.4% until 2025. Declining fertility rates, caused in part by consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and cigarettes, is anticipated to fuel the demand for fertility supplements. In fact, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 10 percent of the United States female population (ages 15-44) have difficulty getting or staying pregnant. This means more than 6.1 million women in the United States alone face fertility issues, according to data published by the Office of Women’s Health in April 2019, which is a division of the U.S Department of Health and Services. Unfortunately, women are not the only ones who may experience infertility problems. This issue affects both men and women equally. According to January 2019 data published by the CDC, in about 35% of couples with infertility, a male factor is identified along with a female factor. In about 8% of couples with infertility, a male factor is the only identifiable cause. Almost 9% of men aged 25 to 44 years in the United States reported that they or their partner saw a doctor for advice, testing, or treatment for infertility during their lifetime.

 

The Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) fertility supplement segment is expected to witness significant growth due to the rising consumer awareness regarding the health benefits and nutritional value of these products according to a report published by Grand View Research, Inc. in July 2019. Self-medication, cost effectiveness, and convenience of direct purchase is expected to boost the demand of fertility supplements. Additionally, factors such as growing geriatric population and rising interest for preventive healthcare have surged the demand for fertility supplements, in turn spurring the growth of the fertility supplements market.

 

According to a report published by IMARC Group in March 2020, the global feminine hygiene products market size reached US$ 26.0 Billion in 2019. Feminine hygiene products refer to personal care products which are used by women during vaginal discharge, menstruation and other bodily functions related to genitalia. They play a crucial role in maintaining a woman’s reproductive health and supporting proper intimate hygiene practices so as to avoid infections. According to IMARC Group, the market is projected to reach a value of US$ 37.2 Billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period (2020-2025).

Longevity and Wellness Market

 

The increasing health consciousness among people is one of the primary factors stimulating the demand for wellness supplements. Consumers are increasingly realizing the benefits of preventive health over treatments, thereby displaying a shift towards healthier lifestyles. In addition, the growing awareness regarding wellness products is fueling the market. The rising aging population is also working in favor of the market as aged people have poorer immunity system in general. Moreover, the rising disposable income of consumers in developing regions is triggering their sales in such regions, thereby augmenting the overall market.

 

The wellness supplements market is expected to gain market growth from 2020 to 2027, according to a report published by Data Bridge Market Research in 2020. The report analyses the market to account to $386.29 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.45% in the above-mentioned forecast period. The growing awareness towards healthy lifestyles among the people globally will help in driving the growth of the wellness supplements market.

 

Competition

 

The markets for OTC supplements in both fertility and longevity and wellness are highly competitive. We face competition from a number of large, brand-name pharmaceutical and consumer product companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Bayer AG, GSK, Nestle S.A. (Gerber), Abbott Nutrition, Aurobindo Pharma, and Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. Competition is based on a variety of factors, including price, quality, assortment of products, customer service, marketing support, and reputation. We believe our core competitive strengths will be our product quality, which we intend to be plant based, Non-GMO, gluten and lactose-free – all of which we believe are well-suited to consumer tastes in today’s climate. Further, we believe our environmental-focus will be an effective marketing tool to help us stand out from other companies that are creating products in these spaces. We seek to, but may not be able to effectively compete with such competitors.

 

Marketing

 

The Company plans to market its products through various media channels. We will primarily focus our marketing efforts on Amazon through online advertisements. We also intend to advertise through social media influencers and infertility support groups.

 

We plan to offer our products for sale in the United States.

 

Distribution

 

We intend to offer our products on our company website (www.thegraystonecompany.com) and on Amazon. Our initial target market is Asia, with a focus on Japan – however, our products will also be available for sale in the United States upon launch. Information contained on, or accessible through, our company website or out webpages on are not a part of, and are not incorporated by reference into, this Offering Circular.

 

Suppliers

 

The Company has relationships with several third party suppliers, and is not reliant on any particular supplier for its intended product offerings. While certain of the organic compounds we use in our products can be impacted by weather patterns and other natural events, but we have not faced any supply issues to date with obtaining raw materials for our products. Additionally, we do not anticipate entering into contracts with suppliers. We will be purchasing our products based on purchase orders only with our suppliers.

 

We plan to source the primary raw materials for our products from Japan. Because of our planned international sourcing of raw materials, we are going to be subject to risks from currency fluctuations, such as changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly between the Japanese Yen and the US dollar, as our initial raw materials are expected to be acquired from Japan. For example, if the value of the Japanese Yen were to increase compared to the value of the U.S. dollar, we could receive less value for purchases of raw materials when purchasing in Japan, which could force us to increase our prices, or settle for lower margins on our product sales. If either of these outcomes occur, our results of operations may be harmed.

However, our CEO has applied for the trademarks for the brand names “Commodity Wellness” and “Ferō” along with the slogan “Nourish the body, heal the Earth” and has allowed the Company the right to use these trademarks for its products when and if they are issued.

Government Regulation

 

The United States Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) is generally responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of (1) prescription and over the counter drugs; (2) biologics including vaccines, blood & blood products, and cellular and gene therapies; (3) foodstuffs including dietary supplements, bottled water, and baby formula; and (4) medical devices including heart pacemakers, surgical implants, prosthetics, and dental devices.

 

Regarding its regulation of drugs, the FDA process requires a review that begins with the filing of an investigational new drug (IND) application, with follow on clinical studies and clinical trials that the FDA uses to determine whether a drug is safe and effective, and therefore subject to approval for human use by the FDA.

 

Aside from the FDA’s mandate to regulate drugs, the FDA also regulates dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. This law prohibits manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. This means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of the law and FDA regulations, including, but not limited to the following labeling requirements: (1) identifying the supplement; (2) nutrition labeling; (3) ingredient labeling; (4) claims and (5) daily use information.

 

Our products will be regulated under FDA Guidelines and Regulations. The ingredients used by the Company for the production of its products are classified as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe). To the best of the Company’s knowledge all the products under development conform to the FDA guidelines for safety, and quality manufacturing. However, there can be no assurance that this is the case and we will have to comply with all applicable FDA guidelines when seeking to sell our products.

 

The Company believes other countries where it intends to sell its products may or may not require regulatory approvals, but in the event the products require these, the process we believe will be fairly short, as the products contain no medicinal or controlled substances.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may, however, become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

The Company’s primary focus is developing and marketing proprietary products for two categories: (1) Longevity and Wellness and (2) Fertility. We plan to generate revenues through the sales of our planned products. We have not sold any products or generated any revenues to date.

 

Recent Developments

 

Reverse Merger

 

Pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) between the Company and NutraGyst Inc., dated November 6, 2020, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NutraGyst, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“NutraGyst”), in exchange for 46,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The parties also agreed that, upon the closing of the transactions agreed upon in the Acquisition Agreement, new directors and officers of Graystone would be appointed by NutraGyst. The foregoing description of the Acquisition Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Acquisition Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On November 6, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company executed the Reverse Merger with NutraGyst, Inc. whereby the Company acquired 100% of NutraGyst, in exchange for 46,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common stock. Immediately prior to the Reverse Merger, there were 146,391,521 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 617 shares of Preferred shares outstanding, MT Soeparmo was the sole officer/director of the Company and Paul Howarth had 97% of the voting power of the Company. After the Reverse Merger, the Company had 146,391,521 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 51,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 617 shares of Preferred shares outstanding. Additionally, on November 10, 2020, MT Soeparmo resigned as officer and director and Anastasia Shishova was appointed as CEO and Director and Greg Tucker was appointed as Director.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company issued 46,000,000 shares of its unregistered Class B Common Stock to the shareholder of NutraGyst, which was our CEO, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of NutraGyst’s common stock, representing 100% of its issued and outstanding common stock and as a result of the Reverse Merger, NutraGyst became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each share of Class B Common Stock has voting rights equal to 2,500 votes per share compared to Class A Common Stock voting rights equal to 1 vote per share. As a result, our CEO Anastasia Shishova owned approximately 90% of the voting power of the Company after the Reverse Merger.

 

Prior to the Reverse Merger, the Company had no operations, assets or liabilities. As such, as a result of the Reverse Merger, the business of NutraGyst became the business of the Company going forward.

 

Change in Fiscal Year

 

On November 7, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a change in our Fiscal Year from December 31 to November 30 in connection with our acquisition of NutraGyst. The change in fiscal year became effective for our 2020 fiscal year, which began on November 6, 2020 (date of inception of NutraGyst) and ended November 30, 2020. NutraGyst had a fiscal year of November 30. Due to the reverse acquisition with NutraGyst, all of the financial statements prior to the acquisition date are of NutraGyst and accordingly we have presented consolidated financial statements for the period of inception for NutraGyst, which began on November 6, 2020 and ended on November 30, 2020.

 

Recapitalization

 

For financial accounting purposes, the Reverse Merger was treated as a reverse acquisition by NutraGyst, and resulted in a recapitalization with NutraGyst being the accounting acquirer and the Company as the acquired company. The consummation of this Reverse Merger resulted in a change of control of the Company. Accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the Reverse Merger are those of the accounting acquirer, NutraGyst and have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Merger completed on November 6, 2020, and represent the operations of NutraGyst. The consolidated financial statements after the acquisition date, through November 30, 2020 include the balance sheets of both companies at historical cost, the historical results of NutraGyst and the results of the Company from the acquisition date. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.

 

Going Concern Matters

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses of $1,240 during the period ended November 30, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,240 as of November 30, 2020. In addition, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,140 as of November 30, 2020. Management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors.

 

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

 

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

Results of Operations

 

There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated revenues from our operations to date. The Company has incurred operating losses of $1,240 during the period ended November 30, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,240 as of November 30, 2020.

 

We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. (See “Risk Factors”). To become profitable and competitive, we must develop our business plan and execute the plan. Our management will attempt to secure financing through various means including borrowing and investment from institutions and private individuals.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 30, 2020, the Company had no cash on hand or other capital resources. Anastasia Shishova, our Chief Executive Officer, has loaned the Company $1,140 to pay for certain operating expenses. We do not have any external sources of capital and are dependent upon continued capital contributions from our managementuntil we begin receiving proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering or are able to raise funds from third-parties. No officer or director, however, is under any obligation to advance us any funds and there are no third-parties that have committed to investing in, or funding the Company.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The Company began working on its new line of business in November 2020 after the Reverse Merger was completed with NutraGyst. The Company has started developing products for its intended product lines in Fertility and Longevity and Wellness. These products are still in development as of the date of this Offering Circular. We are currently finalizing the initial individual products we plan on to launching under these brands. We expect the first product that we launch will be the Fucoidan Based Longevity Booster product under the Commodity Wellness brand in the 3rd quarter of 2021.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have yet not sold any products or generated any revenues.

 

For the twelve months following the commencement of this Offering, we will seek to sell our Shares and, after paying certain expenses incurred in connection with this Offering, to use the net proceeds from this Offering invest in developing and marketing our products and other permissible activities in accordance with our business plan. We plan to start developing, marketing and selling products in accordance with our business model. The Company currently does not have any contracts with third parties related to the products it intends to develop and sell. The Company plans to enter into agreements with third parties for raw materials, distribution, and marketing. We also plan on engaging technology developers in order to enable us to make sales of our planned products on our website. Our specific plan of operations over the next 12-month period is as follows:

 

Months 0-3: Completion of development of our initial products in Longevity and Wellness. We expect to launch the initial products in Longevity and Wellness (under the “Commodity Wellness” brand) by July 2021, which is intended to be the Fucoidan Based Longevity Booster. We believe this will require $200,000 in funds to accomplish.

 

Months 4-6: Finalization of the initial product packaging for our initial products. We will prepare and begin marketing our initial products and begin selling our products on our website and on Amazon. Our initial marketing efforts will be focused primarily on advertising via social media and influencers. We believe these activities will require $1,300,000 in funds to accomplish. The Company believes, for the initial products to launch, the $1,300,000 would be sufficient for product acquisition and marketing expenses for the next 12 months.

 

Months 7-9: We will begin development of the 2nd group of products we intend to launch, which we expect will consist of Ferō Fertility . We expect to launch these products in the 4th quarter of 2021, using the same marketing and sales channels as our initial batch of products. We believe that development and marketing of these products will require $1,500,000 for product development, acquisition and marketing for 12 months.

 

 
34

Table of Contents

 

Months 10-12: We will begin development of the 3rd group of products we intend to launch, which we expect will consist of the Ferō Beauty and Baby lines. We expect to launch these products prior to the 2nd quarter of 2022, using the same marketing and sales channels described above. We believe that development and marketing of these products will require $3,000,000 in total.

 

In order to complete our intended plan of operations, we believe $6,000,000 in Offering proceeds will be required. If we raise less than $6,000,000 from the sale of Shares in this Offering, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, depending on the amount of proceeds received in this Offering and the amount of revenues we are generating from our business, which we believe we will start generating within the next 12 months and may be able to use to help fund our operations. For example, if we raise less than $6,000,000, we may have focus on launching only one or two of the three product lines we intend to launch, and may have to reduce the scope of our intended product offerings under such product line(s). Our product and brand launches may also be delayed, as we either seek additional financing or wait to generate sufficient revenues from our product sales to fund our plan of operations. While we believe that there is no minimum amount of proceeds we must receive from this Offering in order to continue our business operations, if we do not raise at least $1,500,000 in proceeds from this offering, or 25% of the maximum offering amount, will be required to seek additional funding within the next 6 months to implement our plan of operations. We may seek to raise funds from additional offerings of debt or equity securities of the Company, take out a business loan, or we may request additional funds from our Chief Executive Officer, Anastasia Shishova.

 

Covid-19 Effects

 

If the current outbreak of the coronavirus continues to grow, the effects of such a widespread infectious disease and epidemic may inhibit our ability to conduct our business and operations and could materially harm our Company. The coronavirus may cause us to have to reduce operations as a result of various lock-down procedures enacted by the local, state or federal government, which could restrict our ability to conduct our business operations. The coronavirus may also cause a decrease in spending on the types of products that we plan to offer, as a result of the economic turmoil resulting from the spread of the coronavirus and thereby having a negative effect on our ability to generate revenue from the sales of our products.. The continued coronavirus outbreak may also restrict our ability to raise funding when needed and may also cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole. The specific and actual effects of the spread of coronavirus are difficult to assess at this time as the actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of the Company. However, the spread of the coronavirus, if it continues, may cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and also may materially harm our Company.

 

Trends Information

 

The core elements of our growth strategy include developing a product line with a strong brand awareness. We plan to invest significant resources product development and marketing, and we anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future, particularly marketing costs and research and development of new products. These investments are intended to contribute to our long-term growth; however, they may affect our short-term profitability.

 

Our Company plans to raise funds from this Offering, to use to commence operations, and as of the date of this Offering Circular we have not begun production or selling any products. All our operations to date have been developing our business plan, developing our product line and analysis the specific need of our targeted customers for these products. Accordingly, we have not experienced any recognizable trends in the last fiscal year.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. We have identified below the critical accounting policies which are assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain and that are of critical importance and have a material impact on our financial statements. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below involve the most complex management judgments due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions necessary in determining the related asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are discussed throughout this MD&A, where such policies have a material effect on reported and expected financial results.

 

A complete listing of our significant policies is included in Note 2 to our financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, management expectations for future performance, and other assumptions as appropriate. We re-evaluate estimates on an ongoing basis; therefore, actual results may vary from those estimates.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Voting control of the Company is held by Anastasia Shishova, our Chief Executive Officer, who owns approximately 90% of the voting power of the Company because she currently owns 46,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, which carries 2,500 votes per share, giving her voting control of the Company. Because of this voting control, she will be in a position to significantly influence membership of our board of directors, as well as all other matters requiring stockholder approval. The interests of our Chief Executive Officer may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of other officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority stockholders will have no way of overriding decisions made by our Chief Executive Officer.

 

 
38

Table of Contents

 

Our CEO has the ability to control the Company and will have the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including, but not limited to:

 

 

·

Election of the Board of Directors

 

·

Removal of any Directors

 

·

Amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws;

 

·

Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination.

  

Our CEO will thus have control over the Company’s management and affairs. Accordingly, this ownership may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.

 

Due to Related Party

 

During the period ended November 30, 2020, the Company borrowed, from our CEO, a total amount of $1,140 for payments of operating expense on behalf of the Company. As of November 30, 2020, the Company recorded a note payable of $1,140. The note payable is not evidenced by a written note, is unsecured and bears no interest and is due upon demand. As of January 21, 2021, the Company has borrowed a total amount of $18,940 from our CEO for payments of operation expenses on behalf of the Company and recorded a note payable total of $18,940.

Equity Transactions

 

On November 6, 2020, pursuant to the Reverse Merger, the Company issued to Anastasia Shishova a total of 46,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in exchange for her 100% interest in NutraGyst, Inc.

 

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions

 

Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s), Director(s) and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional Directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our Directors will continue to approve any related party transactions.

 

Conflict of Interest Policies

 

Our governing instruments do not restrict any of our directors, officers, stockholders or affiliates from having a pecuniary interest in an investment or transaction in which we have an interest or from conducting, for their own account, business activities of the type we conduct. However, we plan that our policies will be designed to eliminate or minimize potential conflicts of interest. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a director’s, officer’s or employee’s private interest interferes in any way, or appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. We plan to adopt a policy that discloses personal conflicts of interest. This policy will provide that any situation that involves, or may reasonably be expected to involve, a conflict of interest must be disclosed immediately to our directors and subsequently to our shareholders in our next semi-annual or annual report. These policies may not be successful in eliminating the influence of conflicts of interest. If they are not successful, decisions could be made that might fail to reflect fully the interests of all stockholders.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

 

Prior to the Offering, there are 146,391,521 Shares issued and outstanding. Upon closing of this Offering, if it is fully subscribed, 346,391,521 Shares will be issued and outstanding.

 

All of the Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable unless purchased by our affiliates.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any person who is or has been an affiliate of ours during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned shares for at least six months is entitled to sell, within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this Offering Circular, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

 

·

1% of the then-outstanding Shares, which will equal approximately 3,463,915 Shares immediately after this offering; and

 

 

 

 

·

the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, subject to the filing of a Form 144 with respect to the sale.

  

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

 

A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least six months is entitled to sell his or her shares under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations described above, subject only to the availability of current public information about us during the six months after the initial six-month holding period is met. After a non-affiliate has beneficially owned his or her shares for one year or more, he or she may freely sell his or her shares under Rule 144 without complying with any Rule 144 requirements.

 

We are unable to estimate the number of shares that will be sold under Rule 144, since this will depend on the market price for our Class A Common Stock, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the Class A Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a significant public market for the Class A Common Stock will develop or be sustained after the offering. Any future sale of substantial amounts of the Class A Common Stock in the open market may adversely affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock offered by this Offering Circular.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

 

State Securities – Blue Sky Laws

 

Transfer of our Shares may be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our Shares may not be traded in such jurisdictions.

Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time.

 

We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in states which require Shares to be qualified before they can be resold by holders of Shares.

We will be required to file: an annual report with the SEC on Form 1-K; a semi-annual report with the SEC on Form 1-SA; current reports with the SEC on Form 1-U; and a notice under cover of Form 1-Z.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the shareholders and board of directors of

The Graystone Company, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Graystone Company, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of November 30, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from November 6, 2020 (inception) to November 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows from November 6, 2020 (inception) to November 30, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2020

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Organization and Operations

 

The Graystone Company, Inc. (“Graystone”, “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was originally incorporated in the State of New York on May 27, 2010 under the name of Argentum Capital, Inc. Graystone was reincorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2011 and subsequently changed our name to The Graystone Company, Inc on January 14, 2011. Graystone was reincorporated in Colorado on May 1, 2016. Graystone is domiciled in the state of Florida, and its corporate headquarters are in Florida and maintains it US executive office in Fort Lauderdale, FL for mailing purposes. The Company selected November 30 as its fiscal year end.

 

Our business and registered office is located at 401 E. Las Olas Blvd #130-321, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. Our telephone number is (954) 251-2833. Our E-Mail address is investors@thegraystonecompany.com.

 

The address of our web site is www.thegraystonecompany.com. The information at our web site is for general information and marketing purposes and is not part of this report for purposes of liability for disclosures under the federal securities laws.

 

Following its November 6, 2020, acquisition of 100% ownership interest of NutraGyst, a Colorado Corporation ("NutraGyst"). The Graystone Company is a product development and marketing company focused on building sustainable personal health and wellness products. The Company’s primary focus is developing and marketing proprietary products for two categories: (1) Longevity and Wellness and (2) Fertility.

 

Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On November 7, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a change in our Fiscal Year from December 31 to November 30 in connection with our acquisition of NutraGyst. The change in fiscal year became effective for our 2020 fiscal year, which began on November 6, 2020 (date of inception of NutraGyst) and ended November 30, 2020. NutraGyst had a fiscal year of November 30. Due to the reverse acquisition with NutraGyst, all of the financial statements prior to the acquisition date are of NutraGyst and accordingly we have presented consolidated financial statements for the period of inception for NutraGyst, which began on November 6, 2020 and ended on November 30, 2020.

 

Share Exchange and Reorganization

 

On November 6, 2020, the Company executed a reverse merger with NutraGyst, Inc. whereby the Company acquired 1,000,000 shares of NutraGyst’s common stock representing 100% of NutraGyst’s outstanding stock, in exchange for 46,000,000 shares of The Graystone Company’s unregistered Class B Common stock. Immediately prior to the reverse merger, there were 146,391,521 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 617 shares of Preferred shares outstanding, MT Soeparmo was the sole officer/director and Paul Howarth had 97% of the voting power of the Company. After the reverse merger, the Company had 146,391,521 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 51,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and 617 shares of Preferred shares outstanding. Additionally, MT Soeparmo resigned as officer and director and Anastasia Shishova was appointed as CEO and Director and Greg Tucker was appointed as Director. Additionally, Anastasia Shishova now owns 90% of the voting power of the Company.

 

On November 6, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), NutraGyst merged into The Graystone Company, Inc., and became a 100% subsidiary of Graystone Company. Furthermore, the Company entered into and closed on a share exchange agreement with Graystone and its shareholders. At the date of acquisition, The Graystone Company had no assets, liabilities or operations.

 

Each share of Class B Common Stock has voting rights equal to 2,500 votes per share compared to Class A Common Stock voting rights equal to 1 vote per share. As a result, Anastasia Shishova owned approximately 90% of the voting power of the Company after the reverse merger.

Recapitalization

 

For financial accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition by NutraGyst, and resulted in a recapitalization with NutraGyst being the accounting acquirer and Graystone Company as the acquired company. The consummation of this reverse acquisition resulted in a change of control. Accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the acquisition are those of the accounting acquirer, NutraGyst and have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the reverse acquisition completed on November 6, 2020, and represent the operations of NutraGyst. The consolidated financial statements after the acquisition date, November 30, 2020 include the balance sheets of both companies at historical cost, the historical results of NutraGyst and the results of the Company from the acquisition date. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.

 

Going Concern Matters

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses of $1,240 during the period ended November 30, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,240 as of November 30, 2020. In addition, current liabilities exceed current assets by $1,140 as of November 30, 2020.

 

Management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. See Note 6 – Subsequent Events.

 

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

 

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

 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General principles

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The fiscal year end is November 30.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. FASB ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures (“FASB ASC 850”) requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance. Related party transactions typically occur within the context of the following relationships:

 

·

Affiliates of the entity;

·

Entities for which investments in their equity securities is typically accounted for under the equity method by the investing entity;

·

Trusts for the benefit of employees;

·

Principal owners of the entity and members of their immediate families;

·

Management of the entity and members of their immediate families.

Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

Consolidation Policy

 

For November 30, 2020, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, NutraGyst. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, at the date acquired.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products by: (1) identify the contract (if any) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract (if any); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract (if any); and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Other than The Company has no outstanding contracts with any of its’ customers. The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms.

 

For contracts with customers, ownership of the goods and associated revenue are transferred to customers at a point in time, generally upon shipment of a product to the customer or receipt of the product by the customer and without significant judgments. Advance payments are typically required for commercial customers and are recorded as current liability until revenue is recognized. Advance payments are not required for government customers. The majority of contracts typically require payment within 30 to 60 days after transfer of ownership to the customer.

 

Advertising and marketing expenses

 

Advertising and marketing expenses are charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive income, as incurred.

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes”. This codification prescribes the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for carry-forward tax losses. Deferred taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accounting guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements, under which a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accordingly, the Company would report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company elects to recognize any interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

 

Share-Based Expense

 

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

 

Share-based expense totaled $0 for the period ending November 30, 2020.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. As of November 30, 2020, there are no convertible shares that were dilutive instruments and are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

 

Fair value measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent counter-party in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. A three-tier hierarchy is established to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs); and establishes a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

 

 
F-10

Table of Contents

 

The hierarchy is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

 

Level 1

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

 

Level 2

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

 

Level 3

significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities).

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and due to related parties. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

 

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended November 30, 2020.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies relating to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. If the assessment of the contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 217-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminate the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment should be recorded. Any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed once recognized. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate any material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

As of November 30, 2020, the Company recorded note payable of $1,140. The note is unsecured and bears no interest and is due upon demand.

 

NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Class A Common Stock: The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock ($0.0001 par value). All outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. Holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by shareholders and also are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefore. Unless otherwise required by the Colorado General Corporation Law, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall vote as a single class with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation. Upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our Class A and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata all assets remaining available for distribution to shareholders after payment of all liabilities and provision for the liquidation of any shares of preferred stock at the time outstanding. Our Class A Common Stock has no cumulative or preemptive rights or other subscription rights. The payment of dividends on our Class A Common Stock is subject to the prior payment of dividends on any outstanding preferred stock, if any.

 

Class B Common Stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue up to 51,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock ($0.001 par value). All outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The Class B shares do not have the right to convert into Series A. Holders of our Class B Common Stock are entitled to two thousand five hundred (2,500) votes per share on matters to be voted on by shareholders and also are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors at the rate as those declared for Class A shareholder times 10. For example, if the Class A common Shareholders receive as a whole class a $10,000 dividend then the Class B shareholders as a whole class shall receive $100,000. Unless otherwise required by the Colorado General Corporation Law, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall vote as a single class with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation. Upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our Class A and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata all assets remaining available for distribution to shareholders after payment of all liabilities and provision for the liquidation of any shares of preferred stock at the time outstanding. Our Class B Common Stock has no cumulative or preemptive rights or other subscription rights.

The Series B Preferred Shares have no special voting rights, no conversion rights, no liquidation preference and no dividend rights.

 

NOTE 5. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Utilization of the NOL carry forwards, which expire 20 years from when incurred, of approximately $1,140 for federal income tax reporting purposes, may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). These ownership changes may limit the amount of the NOL carry forwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an "ownership change" as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders.

 

NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated events occurring between the end of the fiscal year, November 30, 2020 to the date when the financial statements were issued:

 

Based on this review, other than as described above, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the interim financial statements.

Any shareholder entitled to participate in an annual meeting may apply to the district court in the county in Colorado where the corporation’s principal office is located or, if the corporation has no principal office in Colorado, to the district court of the county in which the corporation’s registered office is located to seek an order that a shareholder meeting be held if an annual meeting was not held within six months after the close of the corporation’s most recently ended fiscal year or fifteen months after its last annual meeting, whichever is earlier.

Any person who participated in a call of or demand for a special meeting effective under C.R.S. § 7-107-102(1) may apply to the district court in the county in Colorado where the corporation’s principal office is located or, if the corporation has no principal office in Colorado, to the district court of the county in which the corporation’s registered office is located to seek an order that a shareholder meeting be held if: (i) notice of the special meeting was not given within thirty days after the date of the call or the date the last of the demands necessary to require calling of the meeting was received by the corporation pursuant to C.R.S. § 7-107-102(1); or (ii) the special meeting was not held in accordance with the notice.

1

 

   

Notice of a special meeting shall include a description of the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of an annual meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes of the meeting except the purpose or purposes shall be stated with respect to (i) an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation, (ii) a merger or share exchange in which the corporation is a party, (iii) a sale, lease, exchange or other disposition, other than in the usual and regular course of business, of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation, with or without the goodwill, (iv) a dissolution of the corporation, or (v) any other purpose for which a statement of purpose is required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act.

 

Notice shall be given personally or by mail, private carrier, telegraph, teletype, electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication by or at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer or the officer or persons calling the meeting. If mailed and if in a comprehensible form, such notice shall be deemed to be given and effective when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears in the corporation’s current record of shareholders, with postage prepaid. If written notice is given other than by mail, and provided that such notice is in a comprehensible form, the notice is given and effective at the earliest of: (i) the date received; (ii) five days after mailing; or (iii) the date shown on the return receipt, if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee.

 

If requested by the person or persons lawfully calling such meeting, the notice shall be given at corporate expense.

 

When a meeting is adjourned to another date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place of such meeting is announced before adjournment at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which may have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 120 days, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a new notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting as of the new record date.

 

A shareholder may waive notice of a meeting before or after the time and date stated in the notice as the date or time when any action will occur or has occurred by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice. Such waiver shall be delivered to the corporation for filing with the corporate records provided that such delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the effectiveness of the waiver. Further, by attending a meeting either in person or by proxy, a shareholder waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting unless the shareholder objects at the beginning of the meeting to the holding of the meeting or the transaction of business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective notice. By attending the meeting, the shareholder also waives any objection to consideration in the meeting of a particular matter not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

 

No notice need be sent to any shareholder if three successive notices mailed to the last known address of such shareholder have been returned as undeliverable until such time as another address for such shareholder is made known to the corporation. In order to be entitled to receive notice of any meeting, a shareholder shall advise the corporation in writing of any change in such shareholder’s mailing address as shown on the corporation’s books and records.

 

Section 2.5 FIXING OF RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to (i) be given notice of any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, (ii) to vote at any meeting, (iii) take any other action, (iv) receive distributions or share dividends, or (v) demand a special meeting, or to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix a future date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy days and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days, prior to the date of the meeting or the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed by the directors, the record date shall be the day before the first notice of the meeting is given to shareholders, or the date on which the Board of Directors authorizes a distribution, as the case may be. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders is made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting. Unless otherwise specified when the record date is fixed, the time of day for such determination shall be as of the corporation’s close of business on the record date.

 

 
2

 

    

Notwithstanding the above, the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting or entitled to be given notice of action so taken shall be the date a writing upon which the action is taken is first received by the corporation. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting shall be the date of the earliest of any of the demands pursuant to which the meeting is called, or the date that is 60 days before the date the first of such demands is received by the corporation, whichever is later.

 

Section 2.6 VOTING LISTS. After a record date is fixed for a shareholders’ meeting, the Secretary shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to be given notice of such meeting or any adjournment thereof. The list shall be arranged by voting groups and within each voting group by class or series of shares, shall be in alphabetical order within each class or series, and shall show the address of and the number of shares of each class or series held by each shareholder. For the period beginning the earlier of ten days prior to the meeting or two business days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing through the meeting and any adjournment thereof, this list shall be kept on file at the principal office of the corporation or at a place (which shall be identified in the notice of the meeting or any adjournment thereof) in the city where the meeting will be held. Such list shall be available for inspection on written demand by any shareholder (including for the purpose of this Section 2.6 any holder of voting trust certificates) or his or her agent or attorney during regular business hours and during the meeting or adjournment thereof. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

 

Any shareholder, his or her agent, or attorney may upon written demand copy the list during regular business hours and during the period it is available for inspection, provided (i) the shareholder has been a shareholder for at least three months immediately preceding the demand or holds at least five percent of all outstanding shares of any class of shares as of the date of the demand, (ii) the demand is made in good faith and for a purpose reasonably related to the demanding shareholder’s interest as a shareholder, (iii) the shareholder describes with reasonable particularity the purpose and the records the shareholder desires to inspect, (iv) the records are directly in connection with the described purpose, and (v) the shareholder pays a reasonable charge covering the costs of labor and material for such copies, not to exceed the estimated cost of production and reproduction.

 

Section 2.7 QUORUM. One-third of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by a voting group, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. If no specific voting group is designated in the Articles of Incorporation or under the Colorado Business Corporation Act for a particular matter, all outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a voting group. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty days for any one adjournment without further notice. However, if the adjournment is for more than one hundred twenty days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during such meeting of that number of shareholders whose absence would cause there to be less than a quorum.

 

Section 2.8 MANNER OF ACTING. If a quorum is present, an action on a matter other than the election of directors by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast within the voting group opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is otherwise required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

 

Section 2.9 PROXIES. A shareholder may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. A shareholder may also appoint a proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, teletype, or other electronic transmission providing a written statement of the appointment to the proxy, a proxy solicitor, proxy support service organization, or other person duly authorized by the proxy to receive appointments as agent for the proxy, or to the corporation. The transmitted appointment shall set forth or be transmitted with written evidence from which it can be determined that the shareholder transmitted or authorized the transmission of the appointment. The proxy appointment form shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation before or at the time of the meeting. The appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the corporation and is valid for eleven months unless a different period is expressly provided in the appointment form or similar writing.

 

 
3

 

    

Any complete copy, including an electronically transmitted facsimile, of an appointment of a proxy may be substituted for or used in lieu of the original appointment for any purpose for which the original appointment could be used.

 

An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest. An appointment made irrevocable is revoked when the interest with which it is coupled is extinguished, but such revocation does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless (i) the corporation had notice that the appointment was coupled with an interest and notice that such interest is extinguished is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment or (ii) other notice of the revocation of the appointment is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment. Other notice of revocation, may, in the discretion of the corporation, be deemed to include the appearance at a shareholders meeting of the shareholder who granted the proxy and his or her voting in person on any matter subject to a vote at such meeting.

 

The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment.

 

The corporation shall not be required to recognize an appointment made irrevocable if it has received a writing revoking the appointment signed by the shareholder either personally or by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact, notwithstanding that the revocation may be a breach of an obligation of the shareholder to another person not to revoke the appointment.

 

A transferee for value of shares subject to an irrevocable appointment may revoke the appointment if the transferee did not know of its existence when he or she acquired the shares and the existence of the irrevocable appointment was not noted on the certificate representing the shares or on the information statement for shares without certificates.

 

Section 2.10 VOTING OF SHARES. Except as otherwise provided in this Section or in the Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote, except in the election of directors, and each fractional share shall be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. At each election for directors, every shareholder entitled to vote at such election has the right to vote, in person or proxy, all of the shareholder’s votes for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the shareholder has a right to vote unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise. Cumulative voting shall not be permitted in the election of directors or for any other purpose. At each election of directors, that number of candidates equaling the number of directors to be elected, having the highest number of votes cast in favor of their election, shall be elected to the Board of Directors.

 

Except as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction upon a finding that the purpose of this Section would not be violated in the circumstances presented to the court, the shares of the corporation are not entitled to be voted if they are owned, directly or indirectly, by a second corporation, domestic or foreign, and the corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the shares entitled to vote for directors of the second corporation; provided, however, that this provision shall not limit the power of the corporation to vote any shares, including the corporation’s own shares, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

 

Redeemable shares are not entitled to be voted after notice of redemption is mailed to the holders and a sum sufficient to redeem the shares has been deposited with a bank, trust company, or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay the holders the redemption price on surrender of the shares.

Section 2.11 CORPORATION’S ACCEPTANCE OF VOTES. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, is entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation and give it effect as the act of the shareholder.

 

If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, is nevertheless entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or proxy appointment revocation and to give it effect as the act of the shareholder if:

 

(a) the shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity;

 

(b) the name signed purports to be that of an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation;

 

(c) the name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation;

 

(d) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment, or proxy appointment revocation;

Section 2.12 ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Unless the Articles of Incorporation require that such action be taken at a shareholders’ meeting any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon consent to such action in writing. No action pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless the corporation has received writings that describe and consent to the action, signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the action. Any such writing may be received by the corporation by electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication providing the corporation with a complete copy thereof, including a copy of the signature thereto. Action taken pursuant to this Section shall be effective as of the date the corporation receives writings describing and consenting to the action signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the action, unless all of the writings specify another date as the effective date of the action, in which case such other date shall be the effective date of the action.

 

Any shareholder who has signed a writing describing and consenting to action taken pursuant to this Section may revoke such consent by a writing signed by the shareholder describing the action and stating that the shareholder’s prior consent thereto is revoked, if such writing is received by the corporation prior to the date the last writing necessary to effect the action is received by the corporation.

If any shareholder revokes his or her consent as provided for herein prior to what would otherwise be the effective date, the action proposed in the consent shall be invalid. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the corporation first receives a writing upon which the action is taken.

 

Action taken under this Section has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of the shareholders and may be described as such in any document.

 

Section 2.13 VOTING BY BALLOT. Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote unless the presiding officer shall order or any shareholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

 

Section 2.14 MEETINGS BY TELECOMMUNICATION. Any or all of the shareholders may participate in an annual or special shareholders’ meeting by, or the meeting may be conducted through the use of, any means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting may hear each other during the meeting. A shareholder participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Section 3.1 GENERAL POWERS. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business affairs of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in the Colorado Business Corporation Act or the Articles of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall make all decisions regarding all managers’ salaries, bonuses, corporate borrowings, expansion, issuance of stock, and similar major corporate actions.

 

Section 3.2 PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES. A director of the corporation shall discharge his or her duties as a director, including his or her duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he or she may serve, in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In discharging his or her duties, a director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by persons and groups listed in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 3.2; but he or she shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he or she has knowledge concerning the matter in question that makes such reliance unwarranted. A director shall not be liable as such to the corporation or its shareholders for any action he or she takes or omits to take as a director if, in connection with such action or omission, he or she performed the duties of the position in compliance with this Section. Those persons and groups on whose information, opinions, reports, and statements a director is entitled to rely are:

 

(a) one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

(b) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

(c) a committee of the board of which the director is not a member if the director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

 

Section 3.3 NUMBER, TENURE, AND QUALIFICATIONS. The number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, but in no instance shall there be less than one director nor more than nine directors, and in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten an incumbent director’s term. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified. Directors shall be natural persons who are eighteen years of age or older but need not be residents of the State of Colorado or shareholders of the corporation.

 

In the event that there is more than one director of the corporation, there may be a Chairman of the Board, who has been elected from among the directors. He or she shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors. He or she shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

Section 3.4 REGULAR MEETINGS. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without notice immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders. The Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or without the State of Colorado, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

 

Section 3.5 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chief Executive Officer or, if there are more than two directors, by any two directors.

Section 3.6 NOTICE. Notice of the date, time and place of any special meeting shall be given to each director at least two days prior to the meeting. Notice shall be given personally or by mail, private carrier, telegraph, teletype, electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication. If mailed and if in a comprehensible form, such notice shall be deemed to be given and effective when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the director at his or her address as it appears in the corporation’s current records, with postage prepaid. If written notice is given other than by mail, and provided that such notice is in a comprehensible form, the notice is given and effective at the earliest of: (i) the date received; (ii) five days after mailing; or (iii) the date shown on the return receipt, if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee.

 

A director entitled to notice of a meeting may waive notice of a meeting before or after the time and date of the meeting stated in the notice by a writing signed by such director. Such waiver shall be delivered to the corporation for filing with the corporate records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions to the effectiveness of the waiver. Further, a director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to him or her of the meeting unless at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon his or her later arrival, the director objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective notice and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

 

Section 3.7 QUORUM. A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors shall consist of one-half of the directors in office immediately before the meeting begins.

Section 3.9 INFORMAL ACTION BY DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the directors or committee members and may be stated as such in any document. Unless the consent specifies a different effective time or date, action taken under this Section is effective at the time or date the last director signs a writing describing the action taken, unless, before such time, any director has revoked his or her consent by a writing signed by the director and received by the Chief Executive Officer of the corporation.

 

Section 3.10 TELEPHONIC MEETINGS. The Board of Directors may permit any director (or any member of a committee designated by the Board) to participate in a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating in the meeting may hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting in this manner is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

 

Section 3.11 VACANCIES. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders or the Board of Directors. If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board, the directors may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.

If elected by the directors, the director shall hold office until the next annual shareholders’ meeting at which directors are elected. If elected by the shareholders, the director shall hold office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office; except that, if the director’s predecessor was elected by the directors to fill a vacancy, the director elected by the shareholders shall hold the office for the unexpired term of the last predecessor elected by the shareholders.

 

If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders, and, if one or more of the remaining directors were elected by the same voting group, only such directors are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the directors.

 

Section 3.12 RESIGNATION. Any director of the corporation may resign at any time by giving written notice to the corporation. The resignation of any director shall take effect upon receipt by the corporation of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. When one or more directors shall resign from the board, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

The notice of the meeting shall state that the purpose of one or the purposes of the meeting is removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast in favor of removal exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.

 

Section 3.14 COMMITTEES. By resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors in office at the time, the directors may designate one or more directors to constitute a committee, any of which shall have such authority in the management of the corporation as the Board of Directors shall designate and as shall be prescribed by the Colorado Business Corporation Act and Article XI of these Bylaws.

 

Section 3.15 COMPENSATION. By resolution of the Board of Directors and irrespective of any personal interest of any of the members or the Board of Directors, each director may be paid his or her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a stated salary as director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or both.

Section 3.16 PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee of the board when action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to all action taken unless (i) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his or her arrival, to the holding of the meeting or the transaction of business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting, (ii) the director contemporaneously requests that his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action taken be entered in the minutes of the meeting, or (iii) the director causes written notice of his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action to be received by the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or by the corporation promptly after the adjournment of the meeting. A director may dissent to a specific action at a meeting, while assenting to others. The right to dissent to a specific action taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the board shall not be available to a director who voted in favor of such action.

If the appointment of officers shall not be held at such meeting, such appointment shall be held as soon thereafter as practicable. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly appointed and shall have qualified or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

 

Section 4.3 REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION. Any officer or agent may be removed by the Board of Directors at any time, with or without cause, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed or to the corporation. Appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights.

 

An officer or agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the corporation. The resignation is effective when the notice is received by the corporation unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date, the Board of Directors may permit the officer to remain in office until the effective date and may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board of Directors provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date, or the Board of Directors may remove the officer at any time before the effective date and may fill the resulting vacancy. An officer’s resignation does not affect the corporation’s contract rights, if any, with the officer.

Section 6.3 SHARES WITHOUT CERTIFICATES. Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of any of its classes or series of shares without certificates.

Within a reasonable time following the issue or transfer of shares without certificates, the corporation shall send the shareholder a complete written statement of the information required on certificates by the Colorado Business Corporation Act.

 

Section 6.4 CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. If shares of the corporation are represented by certificates, the certificates shall be respectively numbered serially for each class of shares or series thereof, as they are issued, may bear the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof, and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by the Chief Executive Officer or President and by the Treasurer or by the Secretary; provided that such signatures may be in facsimile if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar other than the corporation itself or its employee. If the person who signed, either manually or in facsimile, a share certificate no longer holds office when the certificate is issued, the certificate is nevertheless valid. Each certificate shall state on its face the name of the corporation, the fact that the corporation is organized or incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, the name of the person to whom issued, the date of issue, the class (or series of any class), and the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, represented thereby. A statement of the designations, preferences, qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and special or relative rights of the shares of each class shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificates which the corporation shall issue, or in lieu thereof, the certificate may set forth that such a statement or summary will be furnished to any shareholder upon request without charge. Each certificate shall be otherwise in such form as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors and as shall conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares may be listed.

Section 6.6 LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. Any shareholder claiming that his or her certificate for shares is lost, stolen, or destroyed may make an affidavit or affirmation of that fact and lodge the same with the Secretary of the corporation, accompanied by a signed application for a new certificate. Thereupon, and upon the giving of a satisfactory bond of indemnity to the corporation not exceeding an amount double the value of the shares as represented by such certificate (the necessity for such bond and the amount required to be determined by the Chief Financial Officer of the corporation), a new certificate may be issued of the same tenor and representing the same number, class and series of shares as were represented by the certificate alleged to be lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Future services shall not constitute payment or partial payment for shares of the corporation. The promissory note of a subscriber or an affiliate of a subscriber shall not constitute payment or partial payment for shares of the corporation unless the note is negotiable and is secured by collateral, other than the shares being purchased, having a fair market value at least equal to the principal amount of the note. For purposes of this Section “promissory note” means a negotiable instrument on which there is an obligation to pay independent of collateral and does not include a non-recourse note.
