2.Products in market segments showing high growth, 20% plus.
3.Products with excellent consumer acceptance.
4.Companies and Brands with a proven track record and a dynamic management team.
5
With these criteria, Management identified and executed a term sheet with Ambhar Global Spirits LLC (see discussion of Brand 5 below), and has identified a distillery with which it is negotiating acquisition. Management has already identified the targets we will acquire with the Use of Proceeds from this offering.
The Company has also designated a new class of stock, Preferred Series C, which it may issue only for mergers, acquisitions and strategic partnerships or investment. (please see Description of Securities for more information about the Preferred Series C Stock)
During the second quarter of 2021, the company acquired Betta4u Brands Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fury Beverages LLC, Rhino Spirits LLC, Zegen, and brands Tickle Water and Neo Alkaline Water. Betta4u Brands was incorporated on 20 February 2018 (Betta4u Brands ) and acquired by EARI via a Share Exchange Agreement. Betta4u Brands Inc. is a beverage sales marketing and business development company and operates the website, www.betta4ubrands.com. Over the last two years, Betta4u Brands has acquired US based brands and companies Neo Alkaline Water, Tickle Water, Fury Beverages LLC, Rhino Spirits LLC and a Philippine based Distribution company, Zegen. For the year ended December 31 2020, Betta4u Brands Inc. and its subsidiaries sold approximately $750,000 of product, which was significantly lower than approximately $6M in 2019, due to the pandemic. With the use of proceeds from the offering, the company will reinvigorate and expand sales, distribution and marketing efforts for all the brands.
Brands in the Water Category - 1) Neo Water and 2) Tickle Water
Entertainment Arts Research Inc. intends to grow Neo and Tickle Water by introducing new packaging and by appointing key personnel, already identified in strategic market segments. Product development is well underway in new and emerging categories in this functional hydration segment. Management believes the sparkling and alkaline water segment of the beverage industry is poised for exceptional growth over the next five years. Functional water is one of the biggest trends in non-alcoholic beverages currently. Functional water is water that has been enhanced with nutrients or other ingredients in an aim to provide additional health and wellness benefits, such as stress relief and skin, hair, and nail care. In 2015, sales of functional bottled water amounted to 3.24 billion U.S. dollars in the United States and are expected to grow to a value of over five billion dollars by 2022.
Brand 3: Sports Beverage and Functional Hydration - Fury Beverages
Fury Beverages LLC., a Minnesota corporation formed on April 03, 2012 (Fury) was acquired by Betta4u Brands in the second quarter of 2021 via a membership acquisition agreement. Fury is a sports hydration drink hat sells its products under the brand Natures Fury and operates the website https://www.drinkfury.com. Its business model is identical to that of Tickle and Neo Water, whereby production is outsourced to various contract packers and the route to market is similar. For the year ended December 31 2020, Fury Beverages sold approximately $240,000 Dollars in product. With the use of proceeds from the offering, we will produce inventory and expand our sales and marketing efforts. Sports Drinks powered through the pandemic to over $7.5 billion in sales over the past year. Yet even as the categorys dominant brands continue to expand the space - analysts are predicting it to pass $10 billion by 2024
Entertainment Arts Research Inc. intends to grow Fury by achieving economies of scale with the groups brands in the areas of production, sales networks, distribution, customer acquisition, administration, freight, logistics and marketing. Management believe that the three segments of the beverage industry operated in, namely craft spirits, functional waters and nutritional sports drinks are poised for exceptional growth over the next five years.
Brand 4: Rhino Vodka
During the course of 2020, Betta4u Brands acquired Rhino Spirits LLC (D/B/A White Rhino Vodka), a California registered corporation that was formed on July 28, 2016 (White Rhino) via a membership acquisition
6
agreement. White Rhino Vodka operates the website, https://www.whiterhinovodka.com nd its business model is to produce, market and develop premium spirit brands in the craft spirit alcohol segment with contract packers and distributors. For the year ended December 31 2020, White Rhino had no revenue due to the pandemic but sold approximately $20,000 of product in 2019 to test the market in Southern California, where it was exceptionally well received by consumers. With the use of proceeds from the offering, we will build inventory, expand sales and marketing efforts with plans well underway for national distribution. The brand has committed to donate a portion of revenue to the International White Rhino foundation, a worthy cause to save the White Rhino from extinction.
Management believes the craft spirit category; specifically flavored vodka is poised for exceptional growth over the next five years. The alcoholic beverages market is forecast to grow by nearly 19 percent by 2024 to over 1.7 trillion U.S. dollars in value from an initial value of 1.5 trillion dollars. In 2020, the global market size of alcoholic beverages amounted to over 1.49 trillion U.S. dollar. The yearly revenue decreased by around 200 billion dollars compared to 2019. While estimates assume that the market size will again increase in 2021, it will take at least until 2022 before the market recovers and surpass the 2019 pre-pandemic revenue. However, the Statista Consumer Market Outlook estimates that by 2025 the global market size of alcoholic beverages will increase to over 2.2 trillion U.S. dollars.
Brand 5: Ambhar Tequila (Prospective)
We have continued to identify and negotiate the acquisition of beverage companies that will be accretive to our balance sheet. We have recently executed a term sheet and are finalizing the definitive documents for the acquisition of Ambhar Global Spirits LLC, owner of the Ambhar Tequila brand with a website of https://ambhar.com/index.php (Ambhar), which we disclosed on otcmarkets.com1.
Ambhar is a fast growing, ultra-premium 100% agave tequila brand that was first launched in the U.S. in 2011, and in Mexico in 2013. AMBHAR is currently distributed in Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and is available for purchase nationally through a managed ecommerce platform. Internationally, the brand is distributed in Mexico, the UK, parts of Canada, and in duty free. Additional markets are scheduled to soon open, including California.
Product Description AMBHAR Tequila is a high-quality, luxury spirit available in five marks: Plata (blanco), Reposado, Añejo, and newly launched Cristalino and Extra Añejo. We are also currently working on two additional variants, AMBHAR Smoky and AMBHAR Cannabis (subject to regulations per markets). Our tequila is elegantly presented in a distinctive and eye-catching Cognac-like bottle, adorned with our signature Dragonfly emblem (a symbol of joy, life, and luck).
Ambhar was valued at was valued at $12 million USD based upon standard market valuation based on cases of Tequila sold to date. Per the executed term sheet, we will acquire 51% of Ambhar and have the right to acquire the other 49% of the LLC upon successful completion of our funding obligation set forth in the term sheet of $3 million USD for Ambhar working capital, which will mostly be spent on marketing, which is set forth as part of the Use of Proceeds of this Offering. The $12 million valuation will make it a significant portion of our balance sheet: 50%.
During the last 3 fiscal years, Ambhar had sales of $1,232,097 (2018); $1,439,058 (2019); and $530,336 (2020). Management believes the 2020 sales figures are an outlier because of the Covid-19 pandemic; Ambhar has projected 2021 sales of $2,600,000 with the financials it provided in due diligence. These unaudited financial statements are attached at Exhibit 99.1 in accordance with paragraph (b)(7)(iii) on part F/S of Form 1-A. Ambhar was the subject of a Harvard Business Review case study regarding its growth strategy2, which management has used to evaluate the provided projection figures. The case study is also available from our office. - see Where I can Find More Information on page 42.

Risks Related to Our Business
Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks as more fully described in the section titled Risk Factors. These risks include, but are not limited to the following:
·Our limited operating history by which potential investors may measure our chances of achieving success in under our business model. In addition, our executive officers have a lack of experience in managing companies similar to the Company.
·Our ability to pay significant indebtedness.
·Our ability to effectively operate our business segments and respond to the highly competitive and rapidly evolving marketplace and regulatory environment in which we intend to operate.
·Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses.
·Our management teams lack of prior managerial experience managing a divers portfolio of businesses.
·No active market for our common stock exists or may develop, and you may not be able to resell your common stock at or above the initial public offering price.
·Our ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand.
8
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The discussions and information in this Offering Circular may contain both historical and forward-looking statements. To the extent that the Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of our business, please be advised that our actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from our current expectations. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements above for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this Offering Circular.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
We have a limited operating history in our current business plan as a beverage brand conglomerate, so there is limited track record on which to judge our business prospects and management.
We have limited operating history as a diversified holding company and in our business segment of beverage brands upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. You must consider the risks and difficulties we face as a small operating company with limited operating history.
If we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely harmed. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and we cannot assure you that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. The Companys prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by small operating companies with limited operating history, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Operating results will depend upon many factors, including our success in attracting and retaining motivated and qualified personnel, our ability to establish short term credit lines or obtain financing from other sources, such as the contemplated Regulation A offering, our ability to develop and market new products, control costs, and general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.
The Companys success is reliant on one executive who is predominantly responsible for operations and identifying strategic business opportunities.
The Companys success depends substantially upon one key employee. If he becomes unable or unwilling to perform his functions for the Company, its chances for success will be greatly diminished and the Company may not be able to survive. The Company does not maintain key-person insurance for this executive, and does not have a contingent plan for his death or incapacity at this time. From time to time, there may be changes in the Companys executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives. Such changes in the Companys executive management team may be disruptive to its business. There can be no assurances the Company will be able to find or hire competent executives so it will not be as dependent on one employee. The Company does not maintain a chief financial officer or in house bookkeeper and so is totally reliant on third parties for the maintenance of its books, preparation of financial statements, and financial analysis of strategic partners and acquisitions.
The Current Coronavirus Pandemic May Adversely Affect the Global Economy and the Companys Operations
As has been widely reported, the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and a related respiratory disease (COVID-19) in China resulted in the spread to additional countries throughout the world, including the United States, leading to a global pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions and volatility in the global supply chain, market and economies, and those disruptions have since intensified and will likely continue for some time. Concern about the potential effects of COVID-19 and the effectiveness of measures being put in place by global governmental bodies
9
at various levels as well as by private enterprises (such as workplaces, trade groups, amateur and professional sports leagues and conferences, places of worship, schools and retail establishments, among others) to contain or mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have adversely affected economic conditions and markets globally, and have led to significant, sustained and unprecedented volatility in the financial markets. Measures implemented in the United States to limit the spread of COVID-19, such as quarantines, event cancellations and social distancing, will significantly limit economic activity. There can be no assurance that such measures or other additional measures implemented from time to time will be successful in limiting the spread of the virus and what effect those measures will have on the economy generally or on the Company.
There can be no assurance that any measures undertaken by the federal government, or by state or local governments, will be effective to mitigate the negative near-term and potentially longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment, construction and the global economy more generally.
Many businesses have moved to a remote working environment, temporarily suspended operations, laid-off or furloughed a significant percentage of their workforce or shut down completely. Other businesses have transitioned or may in the future transition all or a substantial portion of their operations to remote working environments (as a result of state or local requirements or otherwise in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). Although the Company had already implemented a remote work environment, there is no assurance that the continued remote working environment will not have a material adverse impact on the Company or its customers, which may adversely impact the Company and its operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic did not require the closure of Company operations. The Company suspended in-person client and business development meetings in late March 2020. During the timeframe in which in- person meetings were suspended, Company management reallocated resources to on-line client and business development.
Managements outlook for the near-term business operations will mirror the overall continued reopening of business operations within the state of North Carolina. For the Company to return to pre-COVID-19 levels of operation, it will be necessary businesses across the states of North Carolina to be allowed to return to full operations and capacities.
Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services. In the spring of 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19, a significant portion of the U.S. population are subject to stay at home or similar requirements. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers (both issuers using our services and investors investing on our platform) and our sales cycles, impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. To date, the COVID-19 outbreak, has significantly impacted global markets, U.S. employment numbers, as well as the business prospects of many small business (our potential clients). To the extent COVID- 19 continues to wreak havoc on the markets and limits investment capital or personally impacts any of our key employees, it may have significant impact on our results and operations.
We will need but may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.
We have relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we hope to rely more predominantly on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate significant cash from our operating activities in the future to funds our continuing operations. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations
10
because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any investor interest in its securities.
We have a history of losses and we expect significant increases in our costs and expenses to result in continuing losses for at least the foreseeable future.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we generated a loss of approximately ($114,895), bringing the accumulated deficit to approximately ($10,331,620) at December 31, 2019. Increases in costs and expenses may result in a continuation of losses for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will be commercially successful.
We have outstanding debt and lease commitments, which is secured by our assets and it may make it more difficult for us to make payments on the notes and our other debt and lease obligations.
As of December 31, 2020, we had liabilities totaling approximately $362,710. Our debt commitments could have important consequences to you. For example, they could:
·make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future for our acquisitions and operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service or other general corporate requirements;
·require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayment of our debt and the interest associated with our debt rather than to other areas of our business;
·limit our operating flexibility due to financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, creating liens on our properties, making acquisitions or paying dividends;
·make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;
·place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
·make us more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business.
Our ability to meet our debt service and lease obligations depends on our future financial and operating performance, which will be impacted by general economic conditions and by financial, business and other competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors could include operating difficulties, increased operating costs, competition, regulatory developments and delays in our business strategies. Our ability to meet our debt service and lease obligations may depend in significant part on the extent to which we can successfully execute our business strategy and successfully operate our business segments. We may not be able to execute our business strategy and our business operations may be materially impacted.
If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or future sufficient borrowings are not available to us under our credit agreements or from other sources we might not be able to service our debt and lease commitments, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to service our debt and lease commitments, due to inadequate liquidity or otherwise, we may have to delay or cancel acquisitions, sell equity securities, sell assets or restructure or refinance our debt. We might not be able to sell our equity securities, sell our assets or restructure or refinance our debt on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, the terms of our agreements with original equipment manufacturers or debt agreements may prohibit us from pursuing any of these alternatives.
Regulatory issues. We are subject to a wide variety of regulatory activities, including:
Governmental regulations, claims and legal proceedings. Governmental regulations affect almost every aspect of our business, including the fair treatment of our employees, wage and hour issues, and our financing activities with customers. We could also be susceptible to claims or related actions if we fail to operate our business in accordance with applicable laws.
Accounting rules and regulations. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is currently evaluating several significant changes to generally accepted accounting standards in the U.S., including the rules governing the
11
accounting for leases. Any such changes could significantly affect our reported financial position, earnings and cash flows. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission is currently considering adopting rules that would require us to prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which could also result in significant changes to our reported financial position, earnings and cash flows.
Inadequacy of capital. The expected gross offering proceeds of a maximum of $15,000,000 may never be realized. While we believe that such proceeds will capitalize and sustain us to allow for the continued execution and operation of our business segments, if only a fraction of this Offering is sold, or if certain business segments financially underperform expectations, we may have inadequate funds to fully develop our business. Although we believe that the proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to help sustain our development process and business operations, there is no guarantee that we will raise all the funds needed to adequately fund the operations of our business segments.
We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue marketing our brands or close acquisitions of new brands for our Beverage Brand Portfolio.
We will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. This capital will be necessary to acquire the the brands we are targeting and to diversify our beverage for our target demographics for sales and marketing business. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.
We may pursue strategic transactions which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.
Any future strategic acquisition or disposition of assets or a business could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business or segregating assets and operations to be disposed of; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the acquisition or disposition or against any business we may acquire; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; and (v) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies.
If we enter into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations, particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. A material disposition could require the amendment or refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness or a portion thereof.
We rely on our management team, which has little experience working together.
We depend on a small number of executive officers and other members of management to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and operating business segments, and to manage employees and consultants. Our success will be dependent on the personal efforts of Bernard Rubin and Richard Papaleo, our president and CEO respectively, and such other key personnel. Any of our officers or employees can terminate his or her employment relationship at any time, and the loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. Our management team has worked together for only a very short period of time and may not work well together as a management team.
We may need to raising additional capital by issuing additional securities which could hurt the market for our securities or be on terms more favorable than those of our current shareholders.
We will need to, or desire to, raise substantial additional capital in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among others:
·Our degree of success in generating revenue from our Beverage Brand Portfolio;
·The costs of establishing or acquiring sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities for our beverage brands;
12
·The extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies, and other strategic relationships; and
·The costs of financing unanticipated working capital requirements and responding to competitive pressures.
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, we will reduce the percentage of ownership of the then-existing shareholders, and the holders of those newly-issued equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those possessed by our then-existing shareholders. Additionally, future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Common Stock at any given time.
Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Employees.
Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:
·breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
·act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
·unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Nevada General Corporation Law; or
·transactions for which the directors derived an improper personal benefit.
These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability in our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Risks of borrowing.
If we incur additional indebtedness, a portion of our future revenues will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to our rights. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of our assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, ability to generate revenue, operating results or financial condition.
Unanticipated obstacles to the operations of our business segments.
Marketing of our beverage brands may be capital intensive and subject to ever diffusing attention span and tastes and trends. The Board of Directors believes that the market projections and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of our principals and advisors. The Board of Directors reserve the right to make significant modifications to our stated strategies depending on future events.
13
Risks of operations.
Our operating results may be volatile, difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which may be outside of our control. Due to the nature of our target markets and our lack of experience in them, we may be unable to accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results. There are no assurances that we can generate significant revenue or achieve profitability. We anticipate having a sizeable amount of fixed expenses, and we expect to incur losses due to the execution of our business strategy, continued development efforts and related expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues while containing costs and operating expenses if we are to achieve profitability. We cannot be certain that we will ever achieve sufficient revenue levels to achieve profitability.
Minimal employees or infrastructure.
We will have a small number of employees and we dont have any operational infrastructure or prior operating history. We intent to rely on our management team, our advisors, third-party consultants, outside attorneys, advisors, accountants, auditors, and other administrators. The loss of services of any of such personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and there can be no assurance that if any or all of such personnel were to become unavailable, that qualified successors can be found, on acceptable terms.
Limitation on remedies; indemnification.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, provides that officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates shall only be liable to the Company and its shareholders for losses, judgments, liabilities and expenses that result from the fraud or other breach of fiduciary obligations. Additionally, we intend to enter into corporate indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors consistent with industry practice. Thus, certain alleged errors or omissions might not be actionable by the Company. Our governing instruments also provide that, under the broadest circumstances allowed under law, we must indemnify its officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates for losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Company, including liabilities under applicable securities laws.
No dividends or return of profits.
We have not had any profits from any operations to date. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our operations. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Force Majeure.
Our business is uniquely susceptible to unforeseen delays or failures that are caused by forces of nature and related circumstances. These factors are outside and beyond our control. Delay or failure may be due to any act of God, fire, war, terrorism, flood, strike, labor dispute, disaster, transportation or laboratory difficulties or any similar or dissimilar event beyond our control. We will not be held liable to any shareholder in the event of any such failure.
We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.
Our growth is expected to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. As our businesses grow in scale and attract more customers, there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations or that our management will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully grow and scale our services, products and offerings. Our operating results will also depend on our ability to expand sales and marketing commensurate with the growth of our diversified businesses. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
Maintaining favorable brand recognition is essential to our success, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
14
Our business is heavily dependent upon the favorable brand recognition that our Beverage Brand Portfolio brand names have in the markets in which they participate. Factors affecting brand recognition are often outside our control, and our efforts to maintain or enhance favorable brand recognition, such as marketing and advertising campaigns, may not have their desired effects. In addition, it may be difficult to monitor or enforce such requirements, particularly in foreign jurisdictions and various laws may limit our ability to enforce the terms of these agreements or to terminate the agreements. Any decline in perceived favorable recognition of our brands could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Changes in U.S., global or regional economic conditions.
A decrease in economic activity in the United States or in other regions of the world in which we plan to offer our beverages could adversely affect demand, thus reducing our ability to generate revenue. A decline in economic conditions could reduce our users interest in utilizing our products and services. In addition, an increase in price levels generally, or in price levels in a particular sector such as ingredients needed to appeal to discerning tastes, could result in a overall decrease in disposable income and higher prices for products outside of domestic needs, all of which could also adversely affect our revenues and, at the same time, increase our costs.
Fluctuations in beverage ingredient and supply costs or reduced supplies could harm our business.
We could be adversely affected by limitations on certain ingredients, the imposition of mandatory international trade allocations or closing of international borders (such as what has been seen in the COVID19 Pandemic). A severe or protracted disruption of fuel supplies or significant increases in fuel prices could have a material adverse effect on supply chains and our financial condition and results of operations, either by directly interfering with our normal activities or by disrupting travel and leisure upon which a significant portion of our alcohol beverage sales business relies.
The concentration of our accounting and information technology functions at a limited number of facilities in North Carolina creates risks for us.
We have concentrated our accounting functions for the United States in one office location in Cornelius, North Carolina. In addition, our major information systems are centralized in our office location in Cornelius. A disruption of normal business at any of our principal office location in Cornelius, North Carolina, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire or explosion) or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and systems activities.
The misuse or theft of information we possess could harm our reputation or competitive position, adversely affect the price at which shares of our common stock trade or give rise to material liabilities.
We possess non-public information with respect to individuals, including our customers and our current and former employees, and businesses, as well as non-public information with respect to our own affairs. The misuse or theft of that information by either our employees or third parties could result in material damage to our brand, reputation or competitive position or materially affect the price at which shares of our Common Stock trade. In addition, depending on the type of information involved, the nature of our relationship with the person or entity to which the information relates, the cause and the jurisdiction whose laws are applicable, that misuse or theft of information could result in governmental investigations or material civil or criminal liability. The laws that would be applicable to such a failure are rapidly evolving and becoming more burdensome.
If we acquire any businesses in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, or have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We intend to pursue growth primarily through internal growth, but from time to time we may consider opportunistic acquisitions which may be significant. Any future acquisition would involve numerous risks including, without limitation:
·potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;
·difficulty integrating the acquired business; and
15
·exposure to unknown liabilities, including litigation against the companies we may acquire.
If we make acquisitions in the future, acquisition-related accounting charges may affect our balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, the financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. We may not be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions.
Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.
Depending on the current state of international markets, any one recall on any specific brand of our beverages, can incur a loss of business to us. However at this time we offer a variety of beverages to mitigate such an event.
If we are unable to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced leads and the cost of marketing increases, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
The price and other terms at which we can acquire beverage distribution leads vary based on specific markets and other conditions. For example, certain states offer tax incentives, therefore sales leads in said states are usually higher priced. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase a sufficient number of sales leads at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of qualified sales leads, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms when we acquire Marketing dollars and are unable to pass on any increased costs to our customers, then our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.
We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim our current or future products or services infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. As the number of small batch beverages increase taking advantage of similar market trends there will be increasingly overlap in brand identifications and tread-dress, companies such as ours consolidating multiple brands may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If required, we may not be able to obtain such royalty or license agreements or obtain them on terms acceptable to us.
Failure to comply with federal and state privacy laws and regulations, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new privacy laws or regulations, could adversely affect our business.
A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. Further, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self- regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web cookies for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business. Our ability to collect marketing data could be adversely effected.
No assurances of protection for proprietary rights; reliance on trade secrets.
In certain cases, we may rely on trade secrets to protect intellectual property, proprietary technology and processes, which we have acquired, developed or may develop in the future. There can be no assurances that secrecy
16
obligations will be honored or that others will not independently develop similar or superior products or technology. The protection of intellectual property and/or proprietary technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons even where proprietary claims are unsubstantiated. The prosecution of proprietary claims or the defense of such claims is costly and uncertain given the uncertainty and rapid development of the principles of law pertaining to this area. We may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of intellectual property, technology information and data, which may be deemed proprietary to others.
We currently have a small sales and marketing organization. If we are unable to expand our direct media and marketing services to promote our beverage brands and related products, the commercial appeal and brand awareness for our products and services may be diminished.
We currently have a small sales and marketing organization. The Company may expand the core sales and marketing team to oversee the sales and marketing of our Entertainment Arts Research! business. We will incur significant additional expenses and commit significant additional management resources to expand and grow our sales force. We may not be able to build on the expansion of these capabilities despite these additional expenditures. If we elect to rely on third parties to sell our products in the U.S., we may receive less revenue than if we sold our products directly. In addition, although we would intend to diligently monitor their activities, we may have little or no control over the sales efforts of those third parties. In the event we are unable to develop and expand our own sales force or collaborate with a third party to sell our products, we may not be able to operate our products and/or services which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue. We may not be able to enter into any marketing arrangements on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to enter into a marketing arrangement for our products, we may not be able to develop an effective sales force to successfully operate our products and/or services. If we fail to enter into marketing arrangements for our products and are unable to develop an effective sales force, our ability to generate revenue would be limited.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
Our Offering differs significantly from an underwritten initial public offering.
This is not an underwritten initial public offering. This listing differs from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
·There are no underwriters. Consequently, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery;
·There can be no assurance that we will be able to stay current with OTC Bulletin Board Pink Current Information requirements;
·There may be low trading volume of our Common Stock limiting their liquidity;
·We are not currently working with a market maker, therefore is no underwriters option to purchase additional shares to help stabilize, maintain, or affect the public price of our Common Stock;
·Given that there will be no underwriters option to purchase additional shares or otherwise underwriters in engaging in stabilizing transactions, there could be greater volatility in the public price of our Common Stock during the period immediately following qualification of this Offering; and
·We will not conduct a traditional roadshow with underwriters prior to the qualification of this Offering. As a result, there may not be efficient price discovery with respect to our ordinary shares or sufficient demand among investors immediately after our listing, which could result in a more volatile public price of our ordinary shares.
Such differences from an underwritten initial public offering could result in a volatile market price for our Common Stock and uncertain trading volume and may adversely affect your ability to sell your Common Stock.
The public price of our Common Stock may be volatile, and could, following a sale decline significantly and rapidly.
17
As this Offering is taking place via a process that is not an underwritten initial public offering, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery with respect to the opening trades on securities exchange markets. Following this Offering, the public price of our Common Stock on the OTCPNK exchange may lead to price volatility.
No minimum capitalization.
We do not have a minimum capitalization and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. It is possible we may only raise a minimum amount of capital, which could leave us with insufficient capital to operate our business segments, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
We may not be able maintain a listing of our Common Stock.
To maintain our listing on the OTCPNK exchange, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate the maintenance requirements for continued listing of our Common Stock, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the OTCPNK Market may materially impair our stockholders ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. In addition, in order to maintain our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file our regular quarterly reports on otcmarkets.com. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee that such amendment will be qualified promptly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause a delay in the trading of offering Shares. For all of the foregoing reasons, you may experience a delay between the closing of your purchase of shares of our Common Stock and the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock. In addition, the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.
There may be significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our Common Stock, which may lead to lower trading prices for our Common Stock.
This Offering has not been reviewed by independent professionals.
We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Shares, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Shares.
There has been no public market for our Common Stock prior to this Offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their shares may not develop.
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this Offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering is based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares will trade following the completion of this offering. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial offering price.
The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The offering price for our Common Stock is based on a number of factors. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this Offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock, will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects. Our financial performance, our industrys overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general
18
could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price includes:
·actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;
·increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our Common Stock to demand a higher yield;
·changes in earnings estimates;
·changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·actions or announcements by our competitors;
·adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·actions by stockholders;
·speculation in the press or investment community; and
·our intentions and ability to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing.
We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.
Sales of our Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.
In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six (6) months, may not sell more than one percent (1%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (90) day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. However, Rule 144 will only be available for resale in the ninety (90) days after the Company files its semi-annual reports on Form 1-SA and annual reports on Form 1-K, unless the Company voluntarily files interim quarterly reports on Form 1-U, which the Company has not yet decided to do. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.
Our failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.
We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, managements assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of managements assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firms attestation to or report on managements assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.
Management discretion as to the actual use of the proceeds derived from this Offering.
The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under Use of Proceeds. However, we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently
19
contemplated which we deem to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board of Directors with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors who purchase our Common Stock will be entrusting their funds to our Board of Directors, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.
The offering price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined and does not reflect the value of the company, our assets or our business.
The offering price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined by our management and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value. We arbitrarily established the offering price considering such matters as the state of our business development and the general condition of, and opportunities present in, the industry in which we operate. No assurance can be given that our Common Stock Shares, or any portion thereof, could be sold for the offering price or for any amount. If profitable results are not achieved from our operations, of which there can be no assurance, the value of our Common Stock sold pursuant to this Offering will fall below the offering price and become worthless. Prospective investors should not consider the offering price of the Common Stock as indicative of their actual value. The offering price bears little relationship to our assets, net worth, or any other objective criteria.
General securities investment risks.
All investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will receive a return of its capital. The value of our Common Stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government intervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.
Multiple securities offerings and potential for integration of our offerings.
We are currently and will in the future be involved in one or more additional offers of our securities in other unrelated securities offerings. Any two or more securities offerings undertaken by us could be found by the SEC, or a state securities regulator, agency, to be integrated and therefore constitute a single offering of securities, which finding could lead to a disallowance of certain exemptions from registration for the sale of our securities in such other securities offerings. Such a finding could result in disallowance of one or more of our exemptions from registration, which could give rise to various legal actions on behalf of a federal or state regulatory agency and the Company.
Offering not reviewed by independent professionals.
We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Common Stock, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Common Stock.
We cannot guarantee that we will sell any specific number of Common Stock shares in this Offering.
There is no commitment by anyone to purchase all or any part of the Common Stock Shares offered hereby and, consequently, we can give no assurance that all of the Common Stock shares in this Offering will be sold. Additionally, there is no underwriter for this Offering; therefore, you will not have the benefit of an underwriters due diligence efforts that would typically include the underwriter being involved in the preparation of this Offering Circular and the pricing of our Common Stock shares offered hereunder. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that we will raise enough capital from this Offering to further our development and business activities in a meaningful manner. Finally, prospective investors should be aware that we reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify this Offering at any time without notice, to reject any subscription in whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective purchaser fewer Common Stock Shares than the number for which he or she subscribed.
20
Investors will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment, and will experience additional dilution in the future.
If you purchase our Common Stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution because the price you pay will be substantially greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. Since we will require funds in addition to the proceeds of this Offering to conduct our planned business, we will raise such additional funds, to the extent not generated internally from operations, by issuing additional equity and/or debt securities, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders (including purchasers of our Common Stock in this Offering).
We may be unable to meet our current and future capital requirements from capital raised by this Offering.
Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the rate and success of our development efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products and services and other related services, our ability to establish and maintain our agreements with the services currently operating, our ability to maintain and expand our user base, the rate of expansion of our user community, the level of resources required to develop and operate our products and services, information systems and research and development activities, the availability of software and services provided by third-party vendors and other factors. The capital requirements relating to development of our technology and the continued and expanding operations of our business segments will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of such capital requirements. However, we are dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional financing that will be required in order to operate our business segments and execute on our business plans. However, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to operate our business segments, we would be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
There may be little to no volume in the trading of our common stock, and you may not be able to resell your Common Stock at or above the initial public offering price.
There can no assurance that our Common Stock shares will maintain a sufficient trading market sufficient for the shares in this offering. If no active trading market for our Common Stock is sustained following this Offering, you may be unable to sell your shares when you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider attractive or satisfactory. The lack of an active market may also adversely affect our ability to raise capital by selling securities in the future or impair our ability to license or acquire other product candidates, businesses or technologies using our shares as consideration.
The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors in our Common Stock may lose all or a part of their investment.
If a market for our Common Stock develops following this Offering, the trading price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The market prices for securities of penny-stock companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
·actual or anticipated adverse results or delays in our research and development efforts;
·our failure to operate our business;
·unanticipated serious safety concerns related to our business;
21
·adverse regulatory decisions;
·legal disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our intellectual property, government investigations and the results of any proceedings or lawsuits, including patent or stockholder litigation;
·changes in laws or regulations applicable to our businesses;
·our dependence on third parties;
·announcements of the introduction of new products by our competitors;
·market conditions in our business sectors;
·announcements concerning product development results or intellectual property rights of others;
·future issuances of our Common Stock or other securities;
·the addition or departure of key personnel;
·actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
·announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;
·our failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;
·issuances of debt or equity securities;
·trading volume of our Common Stock;
·sales of our Common Stock by us or our stockholders in the future;
·overall performance of the equity markets and other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors, including changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·failure to meet or exceed any financial guidance or expectations regarding development milestones that we may provide to the public;
·ineffectiveness of our internal controls;
·general political and economic conditions;
·effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events;
·other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control; and
·publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts.
Further, price and volume fluctuations result in volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our Common Stock. Price volatility of our common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our Common Stock is low. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these Risk Factors, could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock.
22
A sale of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert managements attention and harm our business. The stock markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the Common Stock of pharmaceutical companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of a companys securities. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often is expensive and diverts managements attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.
Our semi-annual operating results may fluctuate significantly.
We expect our operating results to be subject to semi-annual fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:
·variations in the level of expenses related to our business segments;
·any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;
·regulatory developments affecting our business and industry; and
·our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments we may make or receive under these arrangements.
If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation.
Generally, a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the ownership of a companys stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability for us.
The number of securities traded on an ATS may be very small, making the market price more easily manipulated.
While we understand that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to manipulate the trading price of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our Common Stock because the ATS we choose may be a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.
The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the
23
reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.
If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Our management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this Offering.
We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this Offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see Use of Proceeds below for more information.
Our Common Stock could be subject to the Penny Stock rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission if it were publicly traded and may be difficult to sell.
Our shares of Common Stock are considered to be penny stocks because they are not registered on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association, pursuant to Rule 3a51- 1(a) under the Exchange Act. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a persons account for transactions in penny stocks and that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which 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 common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
The market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
·control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
24
·boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
·excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.
The foregoing risk factors are not to be considered a definitive list of all the risks associated with an investment in our Offered Shares. This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about our business, our industry, and the industry of our clients. When used in this Offering Circular, the words expects, anticipates, estimates, intends, believes and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The cautionary statements made in this Offering Circular should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Offering Circular.
25
Assuming the sale by us of the Maximum Offering of $15,000,000 and no estimated expenses, the total net proceeds to us would be $14,287,500 less the portion of the Offering that is allotted for sales on behalf of noteholders converting their debt holding of convertible debt; we currently intend to use the net proceeds as set forth below. We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such transactions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of Common Stock. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds, if any. The following table represents managements best estimate of the uses of the net proceeds received from the sale of Common Stock assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Common Stock shares offered for sale in this Offering.

Because the offering is a best efforts offering without a minimum offering amount, we may close the offering without sufficient funds for all the intended purposes set out above, or even to cover the costs of this offering.
The amounts set forth above are estimates, and we cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates.

See Risk Factors.
This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.
We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies, although we have no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

Overview
Entertainment and Arts Research, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 19, 1999 as a real estate rental corporation under the name Property Investors Ventures, Inc. On November 24, 2008 the company effectuated a reverse merger and changed its name to Entertainment and Arts Research, Inc. The Company creates, develops and publishes apps, video games, web content and interactive entertainment.
Throughout the first half of fiscal year 2021, the Company gradually transitioned to becoming a diversified conglomerate of beverage brands.

The Companys transition was accomplished with the following transactions;
1)Acquisition of assets of StreetBeatz Inc, a video streaming network that develops branding, marketing and advertising content for Foodys Video and Social Media Platform worldwide. StreetBeatz Brands Inc consists of 50% holdings of Foody TV Acquisitions of Florida Inc and 100% of (Assets) Sports & Entertainment TV.
2)Acquisition of Betta4u Brands Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries and brands;
a)Fury Beverages LLC,

Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the Company ended December 31, 2020. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the unaudited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Companys financial statements and notes thereto. The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing basis unless otherwise noted.
29
Summary of Results
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal to no revenue.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.
The recognition of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
$16,695 at June 30, 2021.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
$44,874 at June 30, 2021
The Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.
30
Inventory
For Q2 of Fiscal year 2021 Inventory of finished goods was $179,793
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Companys management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required. The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering inventory.
Property and Equipment
None at present or for fiscal year 2021
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
None at present or for fiscal year 2021
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
No events or changes in circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Companys long- lived assets reported at December 31, 2020 and 2021.
Current Plan of Operations
Our plan of operations is to shift into a diversified holding company of various beverage brands with growth oriented development can trajectory that can take advantage of our dedicated specialized media marketing operations to grow their sales and distribution. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development and sales and marketing of our beverage brands and ongoing internal research and development. At this time, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of such costs. We intend to continue to build our corporate and operational infrastructure and to build interest in our product and service offerings and as such are unable to project those costs at this time.
As noted above, the pivot to this plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital immediately. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of shares offered for sale in this Offering Circular we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months.
We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders.
Even if we raise additional capital in the near future, if our operating business segments fail to achieve anticipated financial results, our ability to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operating business segments would likely be seriously impaired. If in the future we are not able to demonstrate favorable financial results or projections from our operating business segments, we will not be able to raise the capital we need to
31
continue our then current business operations and business activities, and we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.
Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant product revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
Company Growth Strategy
Our long-term strategy is focused on four priorities: expanding and diversifying our revenues from sales of our own brands of beverages; improving our sales and marketing effectiveness of our media operations through analysis of our marketing data grow sales of our branded beverages faster; disciplined acquisition of upstart beverage brands; developing a stream of revenue from providing our sales and marketing services to third party brands.
Credit Facilities
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had notes payable of $283,300 in convertible notes payable, other current liabilities of $18,486 and accounts payable of $60,924. Other than the foregoing, and to vendors and service providers in the ordinary course of our business, we do not have any other credit facilities or other access to bank credit. The Company has added $400,000 in additional in convertible notes payable so far in fiscal year 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any derivative financial instrument or other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
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 Companys management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with 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 therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Litigation
From time to time we become the subject of litigation that is incurred in the ordinary course of its business. However, to date, we have not been made aware of any actual, pending or threatened litigation against the Company.
32
Property
We lease and maintain our primary offices at 19109 W. Catawba Avenue, Suite 200, Cornelius, NC 28031. We do not currently own any real estate.

Transfer Agent and Registrar
38
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, NV 89014, telephone 702-974-1444, www.empirestock.com. The transfer agent is registered under the Exchange Act and operates under the regulatory authority of the SEC and FINRA.
Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker- dealers presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.
We plan to retain any earnings for the foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.
The shares are being offered by us on a best-efforts basis by our officers, directors and employees, with the assistance of independent consultants, and possibly through registered broker-dealers who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and finders.
There is no aggregate minimum to be raised in order for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a rolling basis. This means we will be entitled to begin applying dollar one of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the Use of Proceeds contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
We are including in this Offering, the underlying common stock for conversions of our outstanding convertible promissory notes. The cumulative outstanding balance of these convertible notes is presently $680,000, and we are common stock for conversion of up to $700,000 in notes is allotted for this Offering. The average conversion price for these notes is $.10 (a 1/3 discount to the Offering Price) so up 7,000,000 shares of Offering stock may be issued to these noteholders as part of the Offering. The Company has 7 outstanding convertible promissory notes. One is in default with a balance of $206,000 and so maybe converted at anytime. One is a demand note for $175,000 (issued for an acquisition) and also may be converted at any time. The remaining promissory notes were are due at various times in 2022 and may only be converted on or after their due date, though management may negotiate early conversion to clear debt from the balance sheet and stop further interest from accruing.
We may pay selling commissions to participating broker-dealers who are members of FINRA for shares sold by them, equal to a percentage of the purchase price of the Common Stock shares. We may pay finders fees to persons who refer investors to us. We may also pay consulting fees to consultants who assist us with the Offering, based on invoices submitted by them for advisory services rendered. Consulting compensation, finders fees and brokerage commissions may be paid in cash, Common Stock or warrants to purchase our Common Stock. We may also issue shares and grant stock options or warrants to purchase our common stock to broker- dealers for sales of shares attributable to them, and to finders and consultants, and reimburse them for due diligence and marketing costs on an accountable or non-accountable basis. We have not entered into selling agreements with any broker-dealers to
39
date, though we may engage a FINRA registered broker-dealer firm for offering administrative services. Participating broker-dealers, if any, and others may be indemnified by us with respect to this offering and the disclosures made in this Offering Circular.

ENTERTAINMENT ARTS RESEARCH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Entertainment and Arts Research, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 19, 1999 as a real estate rental corporation under the name Property Investors Ventures, Inc. On November 24, 2008 the company effectuated a reverse merger and changed its name to Entertainment and Arts Research, Inc. The Company creates, develops and publishes apps, video games, web content and interactive entertainment.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
(A) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative instruments and recorded debt discount, valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation of in-kind contribution of services and interest.
(B) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.
(C) Loss Per Share
In accordance with the accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share at December 31, 2020 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

F-5
(D) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(E) Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company specifically derives income from the following:
1.App and game design development, contract for services
2.Clients pay a fee for a feature app or downloading apps
3.Consulting services for consulting on designs
4.In the future clients will pay for products and services that help build brand identity. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 there was no revenue.
(F) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from m selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.
The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:
·Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
·Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, notes payable - related party, loan payable - related party, convertible notes payable, convertible notes payable - related party and deferred rent payable. The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3 (see Note 8).
(G) Embedded Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
F-6
(H) Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
(I) Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
(J) Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
(K) Stock-Based Compensation - Non Employees
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Sub- topic 505-50).
Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Companys most recent private placement memorandum (PPM), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black- Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:
·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holders expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holders expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term
F-7
of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
·Expected volatility of the entitys shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Companys current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within theexpected term of the share options and similar instruments.
·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505- 50- 45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505 -50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.
Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.
(L) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
F-8
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has minimal operations, has negative working capital a stockholders deficit and limited revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

ENTERTAINMENT ARTS RESEARCH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
Company Overview and History
Entertainment and Arts Research, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 19, 1999 as a real estate rental corporation under the name Property Investors Ventures, Inc. On November 24, 2008, the company effectuated a reverse merger and changed its name to Entertainment and Arts Research, Inc.
On 4 January 2021, the company issued preferred stock which resulted in a change of control and management. (see the disclosure of change of control). The company continues to develop virtual reality applications and software but will now diversify into streaming media channels and packaged consumer goods in the beverage space. This diversification and growth by acquisition strategy will allow the company to generate immediate revenue from existing consumer brands that will in turn be supported by owned media, with content generation to market and advertise our brands.
Our mailing address is Entertainment Arts Research Inc., 19109 West Catawba Ave, Suite 200, Cornelius, NC 28031 and our telephone number is (980) 999-0270. The company website address is www.earigroup.com
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company specifically derives income from the following:
1.Virtual Reality Application design development, contract for services.
2.Business Consulting Services
3.Streaming Media Channels and Advertising
For the period June 30 31 to June 30, 2021, there was $254,636 in total revenue.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from m selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.
The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:
·Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
F-15
markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
·Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, notes payable - related party, loan payable - related party, convertible notes payable, convertible notes payable - related party and deferred rent payable. The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3.
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Stock-Based Compensation - Non Employees
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Sub- topic 505-50).
F-16
Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Companys most recent private placement memorandum (PPM), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black- Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:
·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10- 50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holders expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holders expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
·Expected volatility of the entitys shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Companys current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505- 50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non- forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.
F-17
Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
$16,695 at June 30, 2021.
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
$44,874 at June 30, 2021.
The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.
Inventory
$178,793 at June 30, 2021
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company's management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required. The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering Inventory.
Property and Equipment
None at June 30, 2021
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
None at 30 June 2021
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
F-18
Going Concern
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing to ensure the continuing existence of the business. The Company is in the process of concluding acquisitions that generate revenue in the global consumer goods market.
On January 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Biznet Worldwide Ventures Inc. to acquire Streetbeatz Brands Inc (A Wyoming Corporation) along with their holdings, Foody TV Acquisitions of Florida Inc and Sports & Entertainment TV for $250,000 and 5 million common shares of EARI. The company plans to fund Streetbeatz Brands Inc with $250,000 over a 12-month period and in return, will receive 25% of all profits that are generated.
On June 1, 2021, the Issuer executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding Common and Series A Preferred Stock, which represents the controlling interest, of Betta4u Brands Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the issuance 32 million new shares of common stock and payment of $250 thousand USD cash in tranches as it brings in new funding. The Issuer has not yet issued the common stock that is part of the consideration for the acquisition. Betta4u Brands Inc., owns and operates Neo Water, Tickle Water, Zegen Company, Fury Beverages LLC and Rhino Spirits LLC
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
None
Loans payable
At September 30, 2017 the note payable shown on the balance sheet of $283,300 is comprised of $48,000 plus $235,300 discussed above. The Company calculated a derivative liability using the black shoes module using a volitivity rate of 198% and a risk-free interest rate of .017% which resulted in a liability of $8,117. On January 12, 2021, a judgement was filed and approved for $206,000 from funds that were accepted by the company on June 2, 2015. The company has entered into an interim agreement with a funding group to acquire this note once the judgement has been vacated.
The company has secured funding commitments and is currently negotiating with several investment groups to restructure all outstanding loan notes and finance required for working capital.

Chief Executive Officer
Entertainment Arts Research, Inc.
19109 W. Catawba Avenue, Suite 200
Cornelius, NC 28031
Dear Mr. Rubin:
I have acted, at your request, as special counsel to Entertainment Arts Research, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company), for the purpose of rendering an opinion as to the legality of 200,000,000 shares of common stock offered by the Company at $0.075 per share of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share to be offered and distributed by the Company (the Shares), pursuant to an Offering Statement filed under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 1-A, for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of the Shares (Offering Statement).
In rendering this opinion, I have reviewed (a) statutes of the State of Nevada, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein; (b) true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of Company and all amendments thereto; (c) the By-Laws of the Company; (d) selected proceedings of the board of directors of the Company authorizing the issuance of the Shares; (e) certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials; (f) and such other documents of the Company and of public officials as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein.
I have assumed (a) all of the documents referenced herein (collectively, the "Documents") are true and correct copies of the original documents and the signatures on such documents are genuine; (b) the persons that executed the Documents have the legal capacity to execute the Documents; and (c) the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding instruments is not affected by any (i) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (ii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.
Based upon my review described herein, it is my opinion the Shares are duly authorized and when/if issued and delivered by Company against payment therefore, as described in the offering statement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Offering Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form 1-A, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. The forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Nevada corporation law; and, I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Nevada, as specified herein.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption Legal Matters in the Offering Circular constituting a part of the Offering Statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of the opinion set forth herein to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur following the date hereof.
Sincerely,
MILAN SAHA, ESQ.
