PROSPECTUS

 

YUENGLING’S ICE CREAM CORPORATION

 

600,000,000 SHARES

 

COMMON STOCK

 

This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 600,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, by Trillium Partners, LP (“TRILLIUM”), which are Put Shares that we will put to TRILLIUM pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. TRILLIUM may also be referred to in this document as the Selling Security Holder.

 

The Purchase Agreement with TRILLIUM provides that TRILLIUM is committed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of our common stock. We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Put Shares included in this prospectus represent a portion of the shares issuable to TRILLIUM under the Purchase Agreement.

 

TRILLIUM is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement. No other underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. This offering will terminate 24 months after the registration statement to which this prospectus is made a part is declared effective by the SEC. TRILLIUM will pay us 85% of the Market Price during the Valuation Period, subject to a floor price of $0.005 per share, below which the Company shall not deliver a Put.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares of common stock offered by Selling Security Holder. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of our Put Shares under the Purchase Agreement. The proceeds will be used for general administrative expenses as well as for accounting and audit fees.

 

We will bear all costs associated with this registration.

Organizational History

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “YCRM,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”. We are currently active in the state of Nevada.

 

In November, 2023, after the close of the 2023 fiscal year, YCRM completed its acquisition of ReachOut Technology (“ReachOut”). ReachOut is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) that provides cybersecurity and IT services to Small to Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs). Management is highly experiences with business operation as well as acquisition and integration. After the closing of the ReachOut transaction, the Company agreed to assign the ice cream assets to Mid Penn Bank in return for the cancellation of the bank debt. The Company also ceased its Aureus Micro Markets operations at the time the ReachOut agreement was signed.

 

ReachOut’s Company History

 

Founding and Vision

 

ReachOut Technology was founded in 2010 by Rick Jordan, who envisioned creating a transformative force in the cybersecurity and IT services sector. The company was established with a focus on serving Small to Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs), a segment often underserved in terms of advanced IT solutions and cybersecurity. Rick Jordan, a recognized leader in cybersecurity and business, aimed to fill a critical gap in the IT services market, particularly in providing top-tier security solutions to SMBs. His vision was to create a company that not only offered exceptional IT support but also redefined the standards in cybersecurity services.

Growth and Expansion

 

Since its inception, ReachOut Technology has evolved significantly, growing both organically and through strategic acquisitions. Based in Mokena, Illinois, the company has expanded its reach and services over the years. ReachOut Technology’s areas of expertise have grown to include IT management, cloud services, compliance, data backup services, business strategy, IT consulting, phone systems/VoIP, and most notably, cybersecurity.

Case Study #1: Effective Response to a Ransomware Attack and Cybersecurity Enhancement

 

The Scenario:

 

A prominent logistics company, in the midst of deploying an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution, was evaluating its alert management processes. While they had a 24/7 response team, it wasn’t dedicated to security operations. The company sought to enhance its team’s capabilities cost-effectively, focusing on specialized threat response. During this critical phase, the company experienced a ransomware attack.

 

ReachOut Technology’s Intervention

 

ReachOut Technology swiftly stepped in as the company’s chosen digital forensics and incident response partner, and worked directly with the Secret Service and FBI. The team at ReachOut worked diligently to contain the threat, mitigate further damage, and investigate the attack’s origins. They implemented a managed detection and response system, providing round-the-clock threat management, aligning with the company’s long-term security strategy.

 

Post-incident, the logistics company transitioned smoothly back to normal operations, appreciating the effectiveness of ReachOut’s response. They decided to retain the 24/7 security monitoring services and further develop their security infrastructure. A transition plan was formulated to fully integrate the company’s chosen EDR solution, as initially planned before the ransomware incident.

 

Impact and Results:

 

- Rapid and Effective Incident Management: ReachOut’s global network of security and digital forensics experts enabled quick and efficient management of the ransomware attack, minimizing downtime and operational disruption.

 

- In-Depth Attack Analysis and Recovery: The digital forensics team provided a thorough analysis of the attack, uncovering critical information for recovery and identifying key areas for security enhancement.

 

- Enhanced Threat Intelligence: The logistics company benefited from ReachOut’s extensive experience in handling a wide range of cyber incidents, gaining valuable insights and improving their detection capabilities.

 

- Comprehensive Threat Visibility: With ReachOut’s technology-agnostic approach, the company achieved a holistic view of potential threats, enhancing their overall security posture.

 

- Optimized In-House Security Team: The 24/7 monitoring capabilities allowed the company’s security team to focus on complex systems, leveraging ReachOut’s expertise in frontline threat intelligence.

 

- Continuous Risk Assessment: Regular service reviews and ongoing monitoring ensured that the company stayed informed about their risk profile, reducing administrative burdens.

 

- Strengthened Cyber Resilience: The insights gained from the incident response and ongoing threat intelligence services provided by ReachOut Technology significantly bolstered the company’s defenses against future cyber threats.

Case Study #2: Strategic IT Transformation for a Growing Legal Firm

 

The Challenge:

 

A rapidly expanding legal services firm, facing challenges without an in-house IT team, was concerned about their outdated IT infrastructure. As the firm grew, they realized their current IT setup was not scalable and potentially non-compliant with industry regulations for secure data management. Lacking in-house expertise for strategic technology and cybersecurity decisions, they sought external assistance.

 

ReachOut Technology’s Solution:

 

Upon engagement, ReachOut Technology conducted a thorough assessment and identified that the firm’s computers and servers were significantly outdated, posing serious security risks. The first step was migrating the firm to a unified and secure cloud solution, ensuring all employees used consistent business software.

 

ReachOut Technology then proposed a new network design to replace the outdated infrastructure, which was impeding performance and employee productivity. This included transitioning to a cloud-based document management and retrieval solution, crucial for compliance with strict legal industry standards.

 

To streamline data storage and retrieval needs and allow for scalable growth, a cloud-based virtual server solution was implemented. Additionally, managed security solutions were put in place to ensure complete compliance with industry regulations.

 

The Impact:

 

- Operational Productivity and Growth: The new network design significantly improved operational productivity, setting the stage for the firm’s continued growth. ReachOut Technology provided comprehensive documentation for maintaining and managing the new systems to the client’s IT staff.

 

- Enhanced Data Access and Security: Migrating to the cloud for document storage and retrieval not only facilitated easy access to data across offices but also improved security.

 

- Ongoing Co-Managed IT Support: After the initial consulting engagement, the firm chose to retain ReachOut Technology’s services to augment their existing IT staff. This relieved them of routine duties and allowed them to focus on strategic goals for the future.

Traditional MSPs vs. ReachOut Technology’s Approach

 

Common Issues with Traditional MSPs:

 

1. Poor Response Time: Many IT service providers prioritize tickets based on arbitrary criteria, leading to significant delays in addressing issues. This can result in tickets being left unresolved for extended periods, causing frustration for clients.

 

2. Inefficient Support Lines: Often, support lines are managed by non-technical dispatch representatives, leading to further delays. When a technician does respond, they may lack a full understanding of the issue, necessitating further escalations and causing additional wait times.

 

3. Limited Strategic Advice: Smaller MSPs may not possess the necessary breadth and depth of talent, particularly in cybersecurity, which is crucial for growing businesses seeking to leverage the latest technology trends.

 

4. Basic Cybersecurity Services: Many MSPs offer limited cybersecurity services, typically focusing on basic antivirus and perimeter-based detection software. This approach leaves clients vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats like ransomware and may fail to meet specific industry security standards (e.g., HIPAA, CMMC).

 

ReachOut Technology’s Differentiated Approach:

 

1. Rapid and Prioritized Response: ReachOut Technology ensures that help desk calls are answered by experienced technicians within an average of one minute, with a focus on super-fast resolution times, often under 15 minutes. The priority of issues is determined by the client’s urgency, not arbitrary criteria.

 

2. Expert Technical Support: ReachOut’s support line is staffed by knowledgeable technicians who understand clients’ problems from the outset, reducing the need for escalations and ensuring quicker resolutions.

 

3. Proactive Strategic Engagement: ReachOut provides dedicated Executive and Technical Account Managers who engage proactively with clients. This includes weekly performance reviews, quarterly business reviews, scheduled cybersecurity stress tests, and support from a Professional Services team that includes vCIOs and vCISOs.

 

4. Advanced Cybersecurity Services: ReachOut boasts a large team of security professionals offering advanced security software solutions, backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). Services include anti-phishing training, custom audits, Business Continuity and Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) plans, ransomware protection, and fully managed security services. ReachOut specializes in building IT and cybersecurity solutions compliant with standards like HIPAA, NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, CIPA, and more.

 

ReachOut Technology stands out in the MSP landscape by addressing common pain points with rapid response times, expert support, strategic advice, and advanced cybersecurity services. This approach not only resolves the typical frustrations experienced with traditional MSPs but also positions ReachOut as a leader in providing comprehensive, client-focused IT and cybersecurity solutions.

ReachOut Technology’s Future Growth Strategy

 

1. Acquisitions to Increase Market Share:

 

Strategy: ReachOut plans to identify and acquire other MSP firms and cybersecurity assets, focusing on those with stable customer contracts and strong recurring revenue, as well as specialized technologies and complementary products.

 

Approach: The acquisition process involves identifying potential liabilities, streamlining operations to reduce costs, and forecasting financial impacts before execution and integration.

 

2. Winning New Customers:

 

Objective: The company aims to significantly expand its customer base both domestically and internationally, tapping into new markets and sectors.

 

Method: This expansion will be achieved through targeted marketing, enhanced service offerings, and leveraging the company’s reputation for quality and innovation.

 

3. Expanding Within Existing Customers:

 

Land-and-Expand Approach: ReachOut intends to deepen its relationships with existing customers by selling subscriptions to additional users, offering suites with more functionality, and providing a la carte services.

 

Customer Engagement: This strategy involves understanding and responding to existing customers’ evolving needs, thereby increasing customer loyalty and revenue per customer.

 

4. Service Expansion and Innovation:

 

R&D Investment: Continued investment in research and development is planned to add new solutions to the product portfolio and enhance the reliability, availability, and scalability of the cloud security platform.

 

Innovation Focus: Emphasis on developing cutting-edge solutions that address emerging cybersecurity threats and IT service needs.

 

5. Targeting Additional Market Segments:

 

Market Expansion: ReachOut is targeting expansion into small businesses, the education sector, and companies requiring IT and cybersecurity compliance with U.S. state and federal government agencies.

 

Addressable Market Growth: This expansion aims to grow the company’s immediate addressable market in the near- to medium-term.

 

ReachOut Technology’s growth strategy is multifaceted, focusing on strategic acquisitions, customer base expansion, deepening relationships with existing clients, continuous innovation in services, and targeting new market segments. This approach positions the company for sustained growth and expansion in the evolving cybersecurity and IT services landscape.

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are and we will remain an “emerging growth company” as defined under The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

As an “emerging growth company”, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” disclosure;

 

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

no requirement that we hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

 

exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We have taken advantage of some of these reduced burdens, and thus the information we provide stockholders may be different from what you might receive from other public companies in which you hold shares.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

 

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $250 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports.

ABOUT THIS OFFERING

 

This offering relates to the resale of up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 in put shares (“Put Shares”) that we may put to TRILLIUM pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement. Assuming the resale of all 600,000,000 shares offered in this prospectus as Put Shares, this would constitute approximately 96.4% of our outstanding common stock. It is likely that the number of shares offered in this registration statement is insufficient to allow us to receive the full amount of proceeds under the Equity Financing Agreement.

 

The amount of $3,000,000 was selected based on our anticipated capital needs. Our ability to receive the full amount is largely dependent on the daily dollar volume of stock traded during the effective period. Based strictly on the current daily trading dollar volume up to February 20, 2024, we believe it is unlikely that we will be able to receive the entire $3,000,000.

 

On January 8, 2024, we entered into the Equity Financing Agreement with TRILLIUM pursuant to which, we have the right, for a two year period, commencing on the date of the Equity Financing Agreement (but not before the date which the SEC first declares effective this registration statement) (the “Commitment Period”), of which this prospectus forms a part, registering the resale of the Put Shares by TRILLIUM, to resell the Put Shares purchased by TRILLIUM under the Equity Financing Agreement.

 

In order to sell shares to TRILLIUM under the Equity Financing Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Company must deliver to TRILLIUM a written put notice on any trading day (the “Put Date”), setting forth the dollar amount to be invested by TRILLIUM (the “Put Notice”). For each share of our common stock purchased under the Equity Financing Agreement, TRILLIUM will pay 85% of the lowest closing bid price (“Closing Price”) of any trading day during the ten (10) trading days immediately following the date on which we have deposited an estimated amount of Put Shares to TRILLIUM’s brokerage account in the manner provided by the Equity Financing Agreement (the “Valuation Period”). We may, at our sole discretion, issue a Put Notice to TRILLIUM and TRILLIUM will then be irrevocably bound to acquire such shares.

 

The Equity Financing Agreement provides that the number of Put Shares to be sold to TRILLIUM shall not exceed the number of shares that when aggregated together with all other shares of our common stock which TRILLIUM is deemed to beneficially own, would result in TRILLIUM owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

 

We are relying on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The transaction does involve a private offering, TRILLIUM is an “accredited investor” and/or qualified institutional buyer and TRILLIUM has access to information about us and its investment.

 

Assuming the sale of the entire $3,000,000 in Put Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, we will be able to receive $3,000,000 in gross proceeds. Neither the Equity Financing Agreement nor any rights or obligations of the parties under the Equity Financing Agreement may be assigned by either party to any other person.

 

There are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the Equity Financing Agreement. These risks include dilution of stockholders, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.

 

TRILLIUM will periodically purchase our common stock under the Equity Financing Agreement and will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to TRILLIUM to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

Past Transactions With Trillium Partners, L.P.

 

In November 2023, YCRM issued a convertible note payable, warrants to purchase to the Company’s common stock and Series D Preferred Shares to Trillium Partners, L.P. The convertible note has principal of $470,000, bears interest at 12%, matures on May 31, 2025 and may be converted to common shares at the lower of $0.0003 or 50% of the lowest traded price during the thirty days prior to conversion. The warrants allow the holder to purchase 142,424,186 shares of common stock for $0.0003 (subject to certain specified adjustments) for a period of seven years from the date of issuance. The issuance of 1,000,000 Series D Preferred shares of stock, is entitled to 2% cumulative dividend based on the stated value ($1.00), has voting rights (based upon common stock equivalent shares) and are convertible into common stock at a percentage (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares.

 

On January 11, 2024, YCRM issued a convertible note payable and warrants to purchase to the Company’s common stock to Trillium Partners, L.P. The convertible note has principal of $539,000, bears interest at 12%, matures on May 31, 2025 and may be converted to common shares at the lower of $0.0003 or 50% of the lowest traded price during the thirty days prior to conversion. The warrants allow the holder to purchase 163,333,333 shares of common stock for $0.0003 (subject to certain specified adjustments) for a period of seven years from the date of issuance.

 

Capital Requirements

 

Analysis of our business acquisition and operations cost indicates a requirement of $3,000,000 or more. Based on market response to our products, services, and technologies, it is management’s opinion that we will require additional funding.

 

 

10

 

 

Risk Factors

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We will need to raise additional capital.

 

We will need to obtain additional operating capital either through equity offerings, debt offerings or a combination thereof, in the future. In addition, if, in the future, we are not capable of generating sufficient revenues from operations and its capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements, we may have to raise funds to allow us to continue to commercialize, market and sell our products. We cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct business. If we are unable to raise additional capital if required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly scale back, delay or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of our technology, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.

 

Our financial status raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents were $0 at October 31, 2023. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company has incurred a net loss of $424,031 and used cash in operations of $120,832. The working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit were $1,657,168, $2,014,190 and $4,456,156, respectively, at October 31, 2023. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form S-1. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise additional capital as needed from the sales of stock or debt. We continue to implement cost-cutting measures, raise equity through our effective S-1 private placement, restructure or repay our secured obligations and structure payment plans, if necessary, with vendors and service providers who are owed money. The accompanying consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this Form S-1 do not include any adjustments that might be required should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We continue to incur significant operating losses, and management expects that significant on-going operating expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement our business plan and develop and market our products. Implementation of our plans and our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our ability to market our technology and raise additional capital.

 

Management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, exchange offers, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means. In addition, we continue to explore opportunities to strategically monetize our technology and our services, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful with such plans. We have historically been able to raise capital through equity and debt offerings, although no assurance can be provided that we will continue to be successful in the future. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital through 2024 or otherwise, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

 

If our proposed marketing efforts are unsuccessful, we may not earn enough revenue to expand our operations.

 

Our success will depend on investment in marketing resources and the successful implementation of our marketing plan. Our marketing plan may include advertising and promotional materials and advertising campaigns in print and/or broadcast media. We cannot give any assurance that our marketing efforts will be successful. If they are not, revenue may not be sufficient to cover our fixed costs and we may not become profitable.

 

11

 

 

We may be unable to respond to rapid technology changes and innovative products.

 

In a constantly changing and innovative technology market with frequent new product introductions, enhancement and modifications, we may be forced to implement and develop new technologies into our products for anticipation of changing customer requirements that may significantly impact costs in order to retain or enhance our competitive position in existing and new markets.

 

There is intense competition in our market.

 

Our market is very saturated and intensely competitive. Our management is aware that failure to compete with direct market leading companies and new entrants will affect overall business. Therefore, the faster innovative applications and technologies are implemented to the developed product; the better the pricing and commercial business strategies management will be able to offer to businesses. Competitive factors in this market are all related to product performance, price, customer service, training platforms, reputation, sales and marketing effectiveness.

 

Future acquisitions may be unsuccessful and may negatively affect operations and financial condition.

 

The integration of businesses, personnel, product lines and technologies can be difficult, time consuming and subject to significant risks. Any difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and decrease our revenue.

 

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property.

 

Our ability to protect proprietary technology and operate without infringing the rights of others will allow our business to compete successfully and achieve future revenue growth. If we are unable to protect proprietary technology or infringe upon the rights of others, it could negatively impact our operating results.

 

If we lose our key personnel or are unable to hire additional personnel, we will have trouble growing our business.

 

We depend to a large extent on the abilities of our key management. The loss of any key employee or our inability to attract or retain other qualified employees could seriously impair our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, marketing, management, accounting and administrative personnel. We plan to hire additional personnel in all areas of our business as we grow. Competition for qualified personnel is intense. As a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel. We may also be unable to retain the employees that we currently employ or to attract additional technical personnel. The failure to retain and attract the necessary personnel could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Because our executive officers collectively own a majority of our outstanding shares, they can elect our directors without regard to other stockholders’ votes.

 

Our CEO, Richard Jordan, has majority voting control through his ownership of 475,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. As a result, he may elect all of our directors, who in turn elect all executive officers, without regard to the votes of other stockholders. The voting control of Mr. Jordan gives him the ability to authorize change-in-control transactions, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and other matters that may not be in the best interests of our minority stockholders. In this regard, Mr. Jordan has absolute control over our management and affairs.

 

Acquisitions, investments and other strategic relationships and alliances, if pursued, may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, operating losses, and expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:

 

12

 

 

Diversion of management time and attention from daily operations;

 

Difficulties integrating acquired businesses, technologies and personnel into our business;

 

Inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and/or required financing on favorable terms;

 

Entry into new markets in which we have little previous experience;

 

Potential loss of our key employees, key contractual relationships or key customers of acquired companies; and

 

Assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies.

 

If these types of transactions are pursued, it may be difficult for us to complete these transactions quickly and to integrate these acquired operations efficiently into its current business operations. Any acquisitions, investments or other strategic relationships and alliances by us may ultimately harm our business and financial condition. In addition, future acquisitions may not be as successful as originally anticipated and may result in impairment charges.

 

We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings as we are required to reassess our goodwill or other intangible assets arising from acquisitions.

 

We are required under U.S. GAAP to review our intangible assets, including goodwill for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization and slower or declining growth rates in our industry. We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined.

Risks Related to Consolidated Operations

 

Since we have acquired ReachOut and changed our focus to cyber security, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future consolidated business.

 

We completed the ReachOut acquisition on November 9, 2023. Therefore, our limited consistent operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations and your purchase of our securities. Therefore, we are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a newly combined business. These risks are described below under the risk factor titled “Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.”

 

Failure to manage our growth may be detrimental to our business because our infrastructure may not be adequate for expansion

 

The Reachout acquisition and any planned acquisition require a substantial expansion of our systems, workforce and facilities. We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. The substantial growth in our operations as a result of the Reachout and planned acquisitions is expected to place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. Reachout’s growth strategy includes broadening its service and product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing leading technologies. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.

 

To the extent we acquire other businesses, we will also need to integrate and assimilate new operations, technologies and personnel. The integration of new personnel will continue to result in some disruption to ongoing operations. The ability to effectively manage growth in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management processes. We will need to continue to improve operational, financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our work force. There can be no assurance that we would be able to accomplish such an expansion on a timely basis. If we are unable to affect any required expansion and are unable to perform under contracts on a timely and satisfactory basis, the reputation and eligibility to secure additional contracts in the future could be damaged. The failure to perform could also result in a contract terminations and significant liability. Any such result would adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth, which would hurt our financial performance.

 

In addition to employees hired from Reachout and any other companies which we may acquire, we will need to expand our employee infrastructure for managerial, operational, financial and other resources at the parent company level. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.

 

In order to manage our future growth, we will need to continue to improve our management, operational and financial controls and our reporting systems and procedures. All of these measures will require significant expenditures and will demand the attention of management. If we do not continue to enhance our management personnel and our operational and financial systems and controls in response to growth in our business, we could experience operating inefficiencies that could impair our competitive position and could increase our costs more than we had planned. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

14

 

 

Our business depends on experienced and skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract and integrate skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for us to manage our business and complete contracts.

 

The success of our business depends on the skill of our personnel. Accordingly, it is critical that we maintain, and continue to build, a highly experienced management team and specialized workforce, including sales professionals. Competition for personnel, particularly those with expertise in government consulting and a security clearance is high, and identifying candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult. We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy given our anticipated hiring needs, or we may need to provide higher compensation or more training to our personnel than we currently anticipate. In addition, our ability to recruit, hire and indirectly deploy former employees of the U.S. Government is subject to complex laws and regulations, which may serve as an impediment to our ability to attract such former employees.

 

Our business is labor intensive and our success depends on our ability to attract, retain, train and motivate highly skilled employees, including employees who may become part of our organization in connection with future acquisitions. The increase in demand for consulting, technology integration and managed services has further increased the need for employees with specialized skills or significant experience in these areas. Our ability to expand our operations will be highly dependent on our ability to attract a sufficient number of highly skilled employees and to retain our employees and the employees of companies that we have acquired. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining enough employees to achieve our desired expansion or staffing plans. Furthermore, the industry turnover rates for these types of employees are high and we may not be successful in retaining, training or motivating our employees. Any inability to attract, retain, train and motivate employees could impair our ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects and to accept new client engagements. Such inability may also force us to increase our hiring of independent contractors, which may increase our costs and reduce our profitability on client engagements. We must also devote substantial managerial and financial resources to monitoring and managing our workforce. Our future success will depend on our ability to manage the levels and related costs of our workforce.

 

In the event we are unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, we may experience delays in completing contracts in accordance with project schedules and budgets, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results, harm our reputation and cause us to curtail our pursuit of new contracts. Further, any increase in demand for personnel may result in higher costs, causing us to exceed the budget on a contract, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and harm our relationships with our customers.

 

We expect to expand our business, in part, through future acquisitions, but we may not be able to identify or complete suitable acquisitions, which could harm our financial performance.

 

Acquisitions are a significant part of our growth strategy. We continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments and acquisitions. In such evaluations, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities and the risks and cost of potential liabilities. We plan to use acquisitions of companies or technologies to expand our project skill-sets and capabilities, expand our geographic markets, add experienced management and increase our product and service offerings. Although we have identified several acquisition considerations, we may be unable to implement our growth strategy if we cannot reach agreement with acquisition targets on acceptable terms or arrange required financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms. In addition, the time and effort involved in attempting to identify acquisition candidates and consummate acquisitions may divert members of our management from the operations of our company.

 

Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

If we are successful in consummating acquisitions, those acquisitions could subject us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

 

15

 

 

the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in dilution to our existing stockholders;

 

we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve market position as planned;

 

we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Company’s management, technical, financial and other resources;

 

key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;

 

we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting;

 

we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements;

 

our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;

 

we may incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition;

 

we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and

 

we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated.

 

We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate or profitably manage any acquired business. In addition, we cannot assure you that, following any acquisition, our continued business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any future period. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Insurance and contractual protections may not always cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments, which could adversely affect our financial results.

 

Although we maintain insurance and intend to obtain warranties from suppliers, obligate subcontractors to meet certain performance levels and attempt, where feasible, to pass risks we cannot control to our customers, the proceeds of such insurance, warranties, performance guarantees or risk sharing arrangements may not be adequate to cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments that may be required in the future.

 

We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that the Company or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

 

Upon completion of any acquisitions by the Company, we may be subject to claims that our acquired companies and their employees may have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products, which could severely harm our business.

 

16

 

 

The loss of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or other key personnel may adversely affect our operations.

 

The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon the operation, experience, and continued services of certain of its officers, including our CEO, as well as other key personnel. While our CEO and the executive officers of Reachout are expected to be employed under future employment contracts, there is no assurance we will be able to retain their services. The loss of our CEO or several of the other key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. If the CEO or other executive officers were to leave, we would face substantial difficulty in hiring a qualified successor and could experience a loss in productivity while any successor obtains the necessary training and experience. In addition, our CEO, CFO and other key personnel do not have prior experience in SEC reporting obligations. Furthermore, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on the lives of any executive officer and their death or incapacity would have a material adverse effect on us. The competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of certain key personnel could adversely affect our business.

 

Internal system or service failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

 

Any system or service disruptions, including those caused by ongoing projects to improve our information technology systems and the delivery of services, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business including, among other things, an adverse effect on our ability to bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. We are also subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats, natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks or other events, which could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.

 

We expect to enter into joint ventures, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties.

 

We expect to enter into joint ventures, teaming and other arrangements. These activities involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the joint venture or applicable entity failing to satisfy its obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business arrangements.

 

Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and any violation of these requirements could harm our business.

 

We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anticorruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with diverse and changing legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. We are also focused on expanding our business in industries, which are highly regulated and may expose us to increased compliance risk. Violations of one or more of these diverse legal requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations.

 

17

 

 

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations may be materially harmed.

 

We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

 

Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Weak economic conditions sustained uncertainty about global economic conditions, concerns about future U.S. budgetary cuts, or a prolonged or further tightening of credit markets could cause our customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on technology products or services or put downward pressure on prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. In the event of extreme prolonged adverse market events, such as a global credit crisis, we could incur significant losses.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

We are eligible to be treated as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which we refer to as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Form S-1 and our periodic reports and proxy statements and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are only required to provide two years of audited financial statements and two years of selected financial data in this Form S-1. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.0 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the Commission following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS “Act. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls in the future.

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Our directors and executive officers beneficially own a significant number of shares of our common stock. Their interests may conflict with our outside stockholders, who may be unable to influence management and exercise control over our business.

 

As of the date of this Form S-1, our executive officers directors and the original equity investors in ReachOut Technology together beneficially own approximately 87.5% of our shares of common stock through the ownership of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the CEO owns 475,000 shares of Series A preferred stock the voting rights for the Series A shares entitles the shareholder to voting rights equal to the number of common shares outstanding 232,977,455 which will always grant the holder a majority voting capability. As a result, our executive officers and directors may be able to: elect or defeat the election of our directors, amend or prevent amendment to our certificates of incorporation or bylaws, effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction, and control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote. Accordingly, our outside stockholders may be unable to influence management and exercise control over our business.

 

19

 

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so you will not receive any return on your investment in our Company prior to selling your interest in the Company.

 

We have never paid any dividends to our common stockholders as a public company. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we determine that we will pay cash dividends to the holders of our common stock, we cannot assure that such cash dividends will be paid on a timely basis. The success of your investment in the Company will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation. As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company and, for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.

 

Anti-Takeover, Limited Liability and Indemnification Provisions

 

Some provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and by-laws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Our Board of Directors has the ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock without future shareholder approval. This makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares and/or any other transaction that might otherwise be deemed to be in their best interests, and thereby protects the continuity of our management and limits an investor’s opportunity to profit by their investment in the Company. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:

 

diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,

 

  putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board of Directors, or

 

  effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.

 

Our indemnification of our officers and directors may cause us to use corporate resources to the detriment of our stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. This limitation does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as iGAunctive relief or rescission. Our Articles of Incorporation requires us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Nevada law.

 

Under Nevada law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:

 

  conducted himself or herself in good faith, reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and

 

  in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

20

 

 

These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred, by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is found liable to the corporation, no indemnification will be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish.

 

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

 

The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition, proxy statement, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will need to certify that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other financial personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent account and certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities or our ability to list our shares on any national securities exchange.

 

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal controls’ requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected. As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.

 

21

 

 

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.

 

Our stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

  our ability to execute our business plan and complete prospective acquisitions;

 

  changes in our industry;

 

  competitive pricing pressures;

 

  our ability to obtain working capital financing;

 

  additions or departures of key personnel;

 

  limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;

 

  sales of our common stock;

 

  operating results that fall below expectations;

 

  regulatory developments;

 

  economic and other external factors;

 

  period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;

 

  our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies;

 

  the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC;

 

  changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our common stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common stock;

 

  the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common stock; and

 

  any future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

22

 

 

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, the price may not reflect our value, and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.

 

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, our common stock is available to be traded and is held by a small number of holders, and the price may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps including utilizing investor awareness campaigns and firms, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business. Any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require that we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business, and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of the Company due to, among other things, the availability of sellers of our shares.

 

If an active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there is currently a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms are not willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Many lending institutions will not permit the use of low-priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans. Furthermore, our securities are currently traded on the OT Markets where it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about these companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.

 

Our common stock may be deemed a “penny stock,” which would make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or another national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenues of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in these securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, in anticipation of which, the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

Our Form S-1 filings disclose the dilutive effect of the Company’s stock sales under various offerings.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of shares.

 

23

 

 

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

 

There may be risks associated with us having become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any offerings on our behalf.

 

Any substantial sale of stock by existing shareholders could depress the market value of our stock, thereby devaluing the market price and causing investors to risk losing all or part of their investment.

 

Stockholders, including our directors and officers hold a large number of our outstanding shares. We can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sale, will have on the prevailing market price of our shares of common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress prevailing market prices for the shares. Such sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price which it deems appropriate.

 

Our issuance of preferred stock in the future may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, permits us to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may designate. As a result, our Board of Directors may authorize a series of preferred stock that would grant to preferred stockholders’ preferential rights to our assets upon liquidation; the right to receive dividends before dividends become payable to our common stockholders; the right to redemption of the preferred stock prior to the redemption of our common stock; and super-voting rights to our preferred stockholders. To the extent that we designate and issue such a class or series of preferred stock, the rights of our common stockholders may be impaired.

Risks Related to Our IP

 

Our Success May Depend on Our Ability to Obtain and Protect the Proprietary Information.

 

As we acquire companies with intellectual property (“IP”) that is important to the development of our business model, we will need to:

 

  obtain valid and enforceable patents;

 

  protect trade secrets; and

 

  operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others.

 

We will be able to protect our proprietary technology from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that such proprietary rights are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. Any non-confidential disclosure to or misappropriation by third parties of our confidential or proprietary information could enable competitors to quickly duplicate or surpass our technological achievements, thus eroding our competitive position in our market.

 

The patent application process, also known as patent prosecution, is expensive and time-consuming, and we and our current or future licensors and licensees may not be able to prepare, file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that we or our current licensors, or any future licensors or licensees, will fail to identify patentable aspects of inventions made in the course of development and commercialization activities before it is too late to obtain patent protection on them. Therefore, these and any of our patents and applications may not be prosecuted and enforced in a manner consistent with the best interests of our business. It is possible that defects of form in the preparation or filing of our patents or patent applications may exist, or may arise in the future, for example with respect to proper priority claims or inventorship. If we or our current licensors or licensees, or any future licensors or licensees, fail to establish, maintain or protect such patents and other intellectual property rights, such rights may be reduced or eliminated. If our current licensors or licensees, or any future licensors or licensees, are not fully cooperative or disagree with us as to the prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of any patent rights, such patent rights could be compromised. If there are material defects in the form or preparation of our patents or patent applications, such patents or applications may be invalid and unenforceable. Any of these outcomes could impair our ability to prevent competition from third parties, which may harm our business.

 

The patent applications that we may own or license may fail to result in issued patents in the United States or in other countries. Even if patents do issue on such patent applications, third parties may challenge the validity, enforceability or scope thereof, which may result in such patents being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable. For example, U.S. patents can be challenged by any person before the new USPTO Patent Trial and Appeals Board at any time within the one-year period following that person’s receipt of an allegation of infringement of the patents. Patents granted by the European Patent Office may be similarly opposed by any person within nine months from the publication of the grant. Similar proceedings are available in other jurisdictions, and in the United States, Europe and other jurisdictions third parties can raise questions of validity with a patent office even before a patent has granted. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged, our patents and patent applications may not adequately protect our intellectual property or prevent others from designing around our claims. If the breadth or strength of protection provided by the patents and patent applications we hold or pursue with respect to our product candidates is successfully challenged, then our ability to commercialize such product candidates could be negatively affected, and we may face unexpected competition that could harm our business. Further, if we encounter delays in our clinical trials, the period of time during which we or our collaborators could market our product candidates under patent protection would be reduced.

 

The degree of future protection of our proprietary rights is uncertain. Patent protection may be unavailable or severely limited in some cases and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage. For example:

 

25

 

 

  we might not have been the first to invent or the first to file the inventions covered by each of our pending patent applications and issued patents;

 

  others may be able to make, use, sell, offer to sell or import products that are similar to our products or product candidates but that are not covered by the claims of our patents; others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies;

 

  the proprietary rights of others may have an adverse effect on our business;

 

  any proprietary rights we do obtain may not encompass commercially viable products, may not provide us with any competitive advantages or may be challenged by third parties;

 

  any patents we obtain or our in-licensed issued patents may not be valid or enforceable; or

 

  we may not develop additional technologies or products that are patentable or suitable to maintain as trade secrets.

 

If we fail to prosecute, maintain and enforce patent protection for our product candidates, our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates could be harmed and we might not be able to prevent competitors from making, using and selling competing products. This failure to properly protect the intellectual property rights relating to our product candidates could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.

 

Even where laws provide protection, costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and the outcome of such litigation would be uncertain. If we or one of our collaborators were to initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering the product candidate, the defendant could assert an affirmative defense or counterclaim that our patent is not infringed, invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant defenses and counterclaims alleging non-infringement, invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, anticipation or obviousness, and lack of written description, definiteness or enablement. Patents may be unenforceable if someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld material information from the USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. The outcomes of proceedings involving assertions of invalidity and unenforceability are unpredictable. It is possible that prior art of which we and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution exists, which would render our patents invalid. Moreover, it is also possible that prior art may exist that we are aware of, but that we do not believe are relevant to our current or future patents, that could nevertheless be determined to render our patents invalid. If a defendant were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability of our patents covering one of our product candidates, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on such product candidate. Such a loss of patent protection would harm our business. Moreover, our competitors could counterclaim in any suit to enforce our patents that we infringe their intellectual property. Furthermore, some of our competitors have substantially greater intellectual property portfolios, and resources, than we do.

 

Our ability to stop third parties from using our technology or making, using, selling, offering to sell our technology is dependent upon the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents that cover these activities. If any patent we currently or in the future may own or license is deemed not infringed, invalid or unenforceable, it could impact our commercial success. We cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be issued from any patent applications we currently or may in the future own or license from third parties.

 

To the extent that consultants or key employees apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to our product candidates, disputes may arise as to who has the proprietary rights to such information and product candidates, and certain of such disputes may not be resolved in our favor. Consultants and key employees that work with our confidential and proprietary technologies are required to assign all intellectual property rights in their inventions and discoveries created during the scope of their work to our company. However, these consultants or key employees may terminate their relationship with us, and we cannot preclude them indefinitely from dealing with our competitors.

 

26

 

 

If we are unable to prevent disclosure of our trade secrets or other confidential information to third parties, our competitive position may be impaired.

 

We also may rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. Our ability to stop third parties from obtaining the information or know-how necessary to make, use, sell, offer to sell or import our products or practice our technology is dependent in part upon the extent to which we prevent disclosure of the trade secrets that cover these activities. Trade secret rights can be lost through disclosure to third parties. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors, outside scientific collaborators and other advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our trade secrets to third parties, resulting in loss of trade secret protection. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how, which would not constitute a violation of our trade secret rights. Enforcing a claim that a third party is engaged in the unlawful use of our trade secrets is expensive, difficult and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, recognition of rights in trade secrets and a willingness to enforce trade secrets differs in certain jurisdictions.

 

If we are sued for infringing intellectual property rights of third parties, it will be costly and time consuming, and an unfavorable outcome in that litigation could harm our business.

 

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing, violating or misappropriating the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. Our own technologies we acquire or develop may infringe, violate or misappropriate the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties, or we may be subject to third-party claims of such infringement. Numerous U.S. and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties, exist in the fields in which we are developing our product candidates. Because some patent applications may be maintained in secrecy until the patents are issued, because publication of patent applications is often delayed, and because publications in the scientific literature often lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we were the first to invent the technology or that others have not filed patent applications for technology covered by our pending applications. We may not be aware of patents that have already issued that a third party might assert are infringed by our product candidates. It is also possible that patents of which we are aware, but which we do not believe are relevant to our product candidates, could nevertheless be found to be infringed by our product candidates. Moreover, we may face patent infringement claims from non-practicing entities that have no relevant product revenue and against whom our own patent portfolio may thus have no deterrent effect. In the future, we may agree to indemnify our manufacturing partners against certain intellectual property claims brought by third parties.

 

Intellectual property litigation involves many risks and uncertainties, and there is no assurance that we will prevail in any lawsuit brought against us. Third parties making claims against us for infringement, violation or misappropriation of their intellectual property rights may seek and obtain iGAunctive or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to further develop and commercialize our product candidates. Further, if a patent infringement suit were brought against us, we could be forced to stop or delay research, development, manufacturing or sales of the product or product candidate that is the subject of the suit. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would cause us to incur substantial expenses and, would be a substantial diversion of resources from our business. In the event of a successful claim of any such infringement, violation or misappropriation, we may need to obtain licenses from such third parties and we and our partners may be prevented from pursuing product development or commercialization and/or may be required to pay damages. We cannot be certain that any licenses required under such patents or proprietary rights would be made available to us, or that any offer to license would be made available to us on commercially reasonable terms. If we cannot obtain such licenses, we and our collaborators may be restricted or prevented from manufacturing and selling products employing our technology. These adverse results, if they occur, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects, and the value of our shares.

 

27

 

 

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or other intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

 

The defense and prosecution of contractual or intellectual property lawsuits, USPTO interference or derivation proceedings, European Patent Office oppositions and related legal and administrative proceedings in the United States, Europe and other countries, involve complex legal and factual questions. As a result, such proceedings may be costly and time-consuming to pursue and their outcome is uncertain.

 

Litigation may be necessary to:

 

  protect and enforce our patents and any future patents issuing on our patent applications;

 

  enforce or clarify the terms of the licenses we have granted or may be granted in the future;

 

  protect and enforce trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary rights that we own or have licensed, or may license in the future; or

 

  determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of third parties and defend against alleged patent infringement.

 

Competitors may infringe our intellectual property. As a result, we may be required to file infringement claims to stop third-party infringement or unauthorized use. This can be expensive, particularly for a company of our size, and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patent claims do not cover its technology or that the factors necessary to grant an iGAunction against an infringer are not satisfied. An adverse determination of any litigation or other proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated, interpreted narrowly, or amended such that they do not cover our product candidates. Moreover, such adverse determinations could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing, or issuing with limited and potentially inadequate scope to cover our product candidates or to prevent others from marketing similar products.

 

Interference, derivation or other proceedings brought at the USPTO, may be necessary to determine the priority or patentability of inventions with respect to our patent applications or those of our licensors or potential collaborators. Litigation or USPTO proceedings brought by us may fail or may be invoked against us by third parties. Even if we are successful, domestic or foreign litigation or USPTO or foreign patent office proceedings may result in substantial costs and distraction to our management. We may not be able, alone or with our licensors or potential collaborators, to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect such rights as fully as in the United States.

 

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation or other proceedings, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation or other proceedings. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation or proceedings, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments or public access to related documents. If investors perceive these results to be negative, the market price for our common stock could be significantly harmed.

 

Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of patent-related disputes, including patent litigation, more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.

 

28

 

 

We may not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. The requirements for patentability may differ in certain countries, particularly in developing countries. Moreover, our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights may be adversely affected by unforeseen changes in foreign intellectual property laws. Additionally, laws of some countries outside of the United States do not afford intellectual property protection to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of some countries, particularly developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property rights. This could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or the misappropriation of our other intellectual property rights. For example, many foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, if our ability to enforce our patents to stop infringing activities is inadequate. These products may compete with our products, and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

 

Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and resources from other aspects of our business. Furthermore, while we intend to protect our intellectual property rights in major markets for our products, we cannot ensure that we will be able to initiate or maintain similar efforts in all jurisdictions in which we may wish to market our products. Accordingly, our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate.

Risks Related to this Offering.

 

TRILLIUM WILL PAY LESS THAN THE PREVAILING MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

The common stock to be issued to TRILLIUM pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement will be purchased at an 85% discount to the (“Market Price”, which is the lowest closing trading price (the closing trading price as reported by Bloomberg LP) of the common stock for any single trading day during the ten consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our notice to TRILLIUM of our election to put shares pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement (the “Valuation Period”). TRILLIUM has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If TRILLIUM sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, TRILLIUM may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.

 

Future issuances of common shares may be adversely affected by the Equity Line.

 

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of issuances and sales by us, including pursuant to the Equity Line under the Equity Financing Agreement, or sales by our existing shareholders, of common stock, or the perception that these issuances and sales could occur. Sales by our shareholders might also make it more difficult for us to issue and sell common stock at a time and price that we deem appropriate. It is likely that the sale of shares by TRILLIUM will depress the market price of our common stock.

 

Draw downs under the Equity Financing Agreement may cause dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, TRILLIUM has committed to purchase up to $3,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock. From time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, and at our sole discretion, we can present TRILLIUM with a Put Notice requiring TRILLIUM to purchase shares of our common stock. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by TRILLIUM will be 85% of the Market Price, subject to a floor price of $0.005 per share, below which the Company shall not deliver a Put. provided that the number of shares to be purchased by TRILLIUM may not exceed the number of shares that, when added to the number of shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by TRILLIUM, would exceed 9.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding. As a result, our existing shareholders will experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any of the shares by TRILLIUM. The issue and sale of the shares under the Purchase Agreement may also have an adverse effect on the market price of the common shares. TRILLIUM may resell some, if not all, of the shares that we issue to it under the Purchase Agreement and such sales could cause the market price of the common stock to decline significantly. To the extent of any such decline, any subsequent puts would require us to issue and sell a greater number of shares to TRILLIUM in exchange for each dollar of the put amount. Under these circumstances, the existing shareholders of our company will experience greater dilution. The effect of this dilution may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to decrease further, both because of the downward pressure on the stock price that would be caused by a large number of sales of our shares into the public market by TRILLIUM, and because our existing stockholders may disagree with a decision to sell shares to TRILLIUM at a time when our stock price is low, and may in response decide to sell additional shares, further decreasing our stock price. If we draw down amounts under the Equity Line when our share price is decreasing, we will need to issue more shares to raise the same amount of funding.

 

There is no guarantee that we will satisfy the conditions to the Equity Financing Agreement.

 

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we can require TRILLIUM to purchase, at our discretion, up to $3,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock in the aggregate, there can be no assurances given that we will be able to satisfy the closing conditions applicable for each put. Further, there are limitations on the number of shares in that each draw down amount is limited to the lowest closing bid price during the Valuation Period, subject to the floor. In addition, the number of shares to be purchased by TRILLIUM may not exceed the number of shares that, when added to the number of shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by TRILLIUM, would exceed 9.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding. Other conditions include requiring that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part remains effective at all times during the term of the Purchase Agreement, that there is no material adverse change to our business on the date of delivery of a Put Notice and that our common stock continues to trade of the OTC Markets. If we fail to satisfy the applicable closing conditions, we will not be able to sell the put shares to TRILLIUM.

 

30

 

 

There is no guarantee that we will be able to fully utilize the Equity Line.

 

There are limitations on the number of put shares that may be sold in each put. The number of put shares that TRILLIUM shall be obligated to purchase in a given put shall not exceed the number of shares that, when added to the number of shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by TRILLIUM, would exceed 9.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding. Thus, our ability to access the bulk of the funds available under the Purchase Agreement depends in part on TRILLIUM’s resale of stock purchased from us in prior puts. If with regard to a particular put, the share volume limitation is reached, we will not be able to sell the proposed put shares to TRILLIUM. Accordingly, the Equity Line may not be available at any given time to satisfy our funding needs.

 

Sales of put shares under the Purchase Agreement could result in the possibility of short sales.

 

Although TRILLIUM has agreed not to enter into any “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act), of our common stock, the sale after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares of common stock reasonably expected to be purchased under a put notice is not deemed a “short sale.” Accordingly, TRILLIUM may enter into sales or other arrangements it deems appropriate with respect to shares of our common stock after it receives a put notice under the Purchase Agreement so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number of put shares expected to be purchased under the applicable put notice. Any downward pressure on the market price of our common stock due to the issue and sale of common stock under the Equity Line could encourage short sales. If the market price of our common stock decreases during the put period it will reduce the amount paid by TRILLIUM for the put shares. In a short sale, a prospective seller borrows common shares from a shareholder or broker and sells the borrowed common shares. The prospective seller hopes that the common share market price will decline, at which time the seller can purchase common shares at a lower price for delivery back to the lender. The seller profits when the common share market price declines because it is purchasing common shares at a price lower than the sale price of the borrowed common shares. Such sales could place downward pressure on the market price of the common stock by increasing the number of common shares being sold, which could further contribute to any decline of the market price of the common shares.

 

There is uncertainty as to number of subscription shares and the amount TRILLIUM will pay for the put shares.

 

The actual number of shares we will issue in any particular put or in total under the Purchase Agreement is uncertain. Subject to certain limitations in the Purchase Agreement, we have the discretion to give a put notice at any time throughout the term. The number of shares we must issue after giving a put notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common shares during the put Valuation Period. TRILLIUM will receive more shares if the market price of our common stock declines. Since the price per share of each put share will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the put Valuation Period, the actual amount TRILLIUM will pay for the put shares included in any particular put will decrease if the market price of our common stock declines.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

 

This S-1 contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This filing and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023.

 

We caution that these factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in this prospectus

 

Overview

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “YCRM,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”. We are currently active in the state of Nevada.

 

In November, 2023, after the close of the 2023 fiscal year, YCRM completed its acquisition of ReachOut Technology (“ReachOut”). ReachOut is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) that provides cybersecurity and IT services to Small to Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs). Management is highly experiences with business operation as well as acquisition and integration. After the closing of the ReachOut transaction, the Company agreed to assign the ice cream assets to Mid Penn Bank in return for the cancellation of the bank debt. The Company also ceased its Aureus Micro Markets operations at the time the ReachOut agreement was signed.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended October 31, 2023, compared to the Year Ended October 31, 2022

 

Revenue

 

We had $20 in revenue for the year ended October 31, 2023, compared to $0 for the year ended October 31, 2022. This is a very small increase in revenue and the overall lack of sales is due to a loss in retail food service customers.

Going Concern

 

As of October 31, 2023, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our operations.

 

We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have not yet generated any revenue. As a result of these and other factors, our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

 

Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: (i) obtaining funding from new investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency, and (ii) implementing our plan of operation to generate sales. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to resolve our liquidity problems and increase profitability in our business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

Plan of Distribution

 

This prospectus relates to the resale of 600,000,000 Shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, by the Selling Security Holder consisting of Put Shares that we will put to TRILLIUM pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement.

 

The Selling Security Holder may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The Selling Security Holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  privately negotiated transactions;

 

  broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Security Holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

  through the writing of options on the shares;

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale; and any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

According to the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, neither TRILLIUM nor any affiliate of TRILLIUM acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any short sales during the term of this offering.

 

The Selling Security Holder may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Security Holder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a Selling Security Holder will attempt to sell shares of Common Stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The Selling Security Holder cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Security Holder. In addition, the Selling Security Holder and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus are “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a Selling Security Holder. The Selling Security Holder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. Otherwise, all discounts, commissions or fees incurred in connection with the sale of our common stock offered hereby will be paid by the Selling Security Holder.

 

37

 

 

The Selling Security Holder acquired the securities offered hereby in the ordinary course of business and has advised us that it has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by the Selling Security Holder. We will file a supplement to this prospectus if the Selling Security Holder enters into a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for sale of common stock being registered. If the Selling Security Holder uses this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the Selling Security Holder. The Selling Security Holder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

 

TRILLIUM is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the sale of our common stock under the Equity Financing Agreement. For each share of common stock purchased under the Equity Financing Agreement, TRILLIUM will pay 85% of the Market Price during the Valuation Period, subject to a floor price of $0.005 per share, below which the Company shall not deliver a Put.

 

We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of our common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. If any of these other expenses exists, we expect TRILLIUM to pay these expenses. We have agreed to indemnify TRILLIUM and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $35,976. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by TRILLIUM. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Equity Financing Agreement.

 

Sales Pursuant to Rule 144

 

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Regulation M

 

We have advised the Selling Security Holder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Security Holder and their affiliates. Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for, or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Accordingly, the selling stockholder is not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution it taking place. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Security Holder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

State Securities Laws

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

Expenses of Registration

 

We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These expenses are estimated to be $32,000, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees. The selling stockholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.

Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

 

Market Information

 

There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “YCRM”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

 

OTC Markets securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Markets securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Markets issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

Our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets on July 31, 2015. As of February 21, 2024, approximately 5% of the fiscal 2023 weighted average (fiscal 2023) of our shares have traded on OTC Markets and the current market price for our common shares is $0.0075 per share.

 

Stockholders of Our Common Shares

 

As of February 21, 2024, there were approximately 1,000 holders of record of our common stock.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding the sale, are subject to additional restrictions. Such person is entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

 

  1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding, which will equal 3,494,887 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or

 

  the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

Provided, in each case that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

Registration Rights

 

As part of the Equity Financing Agreement entered into with TRILLIUM, on January 8, 2024, the Company and TRILLIUM entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”). Under the terms of the Registration Agreement the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Shares within 30 days of January 8, 2024. The Company is obligated to keep such registration statement effective until (i) three months after the last closing of a sale of Shares under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the date when TRILLIUM may sell all the Shares under Rule 144 without volume limitations, or (iii) the date TRILLIUM no longer owns any of the Shares.

 

We have not granted registration rights to any other persons other than TRILLIUM at this time.

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

  1. We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

 

  2. Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws both provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors, to the fullest extent, permitted by Nevada law.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, directors and 10% or greater beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based upon a review of those forms and representations regarding the need for filing for the year ended October 31, 2022, we believe all necessary forms have been filed.

 

44

 

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our directors and executive officers have not been personally involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

  any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
     
  any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
     
  being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities;
     
  being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
     
  being subject of, or a party to, any Federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any Federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
     
  being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no familial relationships among any of our directors or officers.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

 

Board Committees

 

Our board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee due the board’s limited size and the Company’s limited operations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Director Compensation

 

At this time, our directors do not receive cash compensation for serving as members of our Board of Directors. The term of office for each director is one year or until his/her successor is elected at our annual meeting and qualified. The duration of office for each of our officers is at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no nominating, auditing committee, or compensation committee. Therefore, the selection of a person or election to the Board of Directors was neither independently made nor negotiated at arm’s length.

 

During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, our sole director, Mr. Dickson, received no compensation for director services.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End. There were no outstanding equity awards as of October 31, 2023.

 

Board Committees

 

We do not currently have any committees of the Board of Directors. Additionally, due to the nature of our intended business, the Board of Directors does not foresee a need for any committees in the foreseeable future.

(1) Unless as otherwise indicated in the following table and the footnotes, our named executive officers and directors’ address in the following table is c/o ReachOut Technology, 8910 W. 192nd St. Suite N, Mokena, IL 60448.
(2) Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) because of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power concerning the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this Form 10.
(3) In calculating any percentage in the following table of common stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the following table is based on 349,488,710 shares of common stock, outstanding as of the filing date of this Form 10-K and 699,082,277 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 475,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Jordan. (The Shares A Preferred Stock are convertible into such number of shares of common stock resulting in two-thirds (66.67%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a post-conversion basis.)
(4) In calculating any percentage in the following table of common stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the following table is based on 349,488,710 shares of common stock, outstanding as of the filing date of this Form 10-K. 2,365,687,358 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 7,338,079 shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by Richard Jordan, 24,407,776 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 75,710 shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by Kingsley Charles, and 56,325,836 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 174,716 shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by KHBH LLC (The Shares C Preferred Stock are convertible into such number of shares of common stock resulting in 87.50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a post-conversion basis.)
(5) In calculating any percentage in the following table of common stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the following table is based on 349,488,710 shares of common stock, outstanding as of the filing date of this Form 10-K and 49,926,959 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by Trillium Partners, LP.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

In June 2022, Everett Dickson advanced the Company $6,000 for a general operating expense. The $6,000 was repaid the following month.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, a $5,500 payment was mistakenly made to a company controlled by Everett Dickson. The amount is to be repaid. This amount was applied to the note payable during the year ended October 31, 2023.Pickle Jar the company benefiting from this error, advanced the Company $22,000, on September 1, 2023. The amount due to the Company from Pickle Jar was offset against this new advance leaving a note payable to Pickle Jar of $16,500. The funds advanced were used by the Company to repay the balance due on a convertible note held by Quick Capital, LLC. (see note 8)

 

On August 17, 2023, Everett Dickson paid $1,910, to a consultant of the Company’s. The transaction is considered a loan advance and is evidenced by a note payable (below) issued to Everett Dickson.

 

On September 1, 2023, Everett Dickson directly paid $13,500 to Diagonal Lending LLC on behalf of the Company paying the amount of the agreed settlement extinguishing the balance due on the convertible note due. The transaction is considered a loan advance and is evidenced by a note payable (below) issued to Everett Dickson.

 

On September 1, 2023, Everett Dickson deposited $2,000, into the Company’s bank accounts to fund payments. The transaction is considered a loan advance and is evidenced by a note payable issued to Everett Dickson. As of October 31, 2023 the note balance due to Everett Dickson is $17,410, is due upon demand and does not bear interest.

 

On January 14, 2023, the Company granted 30 million restricted common shares to Robert C. Bohorad. The Company signed a letter of intent with Mr. Charles Green and Mr. Bohorad on October 26, 2022, where Mr. Bohorad will become Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The purpose of the issuance is to retain and incentivize the individuals in their efforts to manage the Company and foster its success. The shares were valued at $0.006, the closing stock price on the date of grant, for total non-cash compensation of $180,000. The amount was to be recognized over a one-year period. On September 15, 2023, Robert C. Bohorad returned the 30 million restricted common shares to the Company.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid Robert C. Bohorad, YICA’s Chief Operating Officer, $7,000 and $22,000 for compensation, respectively. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Mr. Bohorad forgave $53,000 of accrued compensation. The Company and Mr. Bohorad have agreed that the balance due of $30,000, will be paid by March 31, 2024. See Note 9.

 

On October 30, 2023, the Company awarded Mr. Bohorad 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to facilitate the preparation of financial statements and in the transition of the Company to new ownership. (see note 15)

 

Director Independence

 

We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined in Section 803A of the NYSE Amex LLC Company Guide. Since the OTC Markets does not have rules regarding director independence, the Board makes its determination as to director independence based on the definition of “independence” as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and American Stock Exchange (“Amex”).

Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

 

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corp. and Subsidiary (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, net losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

YUENGLING’S ICE CREAM CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2023

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “YCRM,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for bad debt on accounts receivable, reserves on inventory, valuation of intangible assets for impairment analysis, valuation of the lease liability and related right-of-use asset, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of redeemable preferred stock and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary YIC Acquisitions Corp. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

F-7

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors the banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the years ended October 31, 2023 or 2022.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company no longer has an obligation to transfer $50,000 to Mid Penn Bank as security pursuant to the Agreement of Sale and Security Agreement between Mid Penn Bank and Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corp., last amended July 31, 2023. On January 9, 2024, the Company signed an agreement with Mid Penn Bank assigning the ice cream-related assets to Mid Penn Bank in return for Mid Penn Bank cancelling the two bank loans with Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

All unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Company’s borrowings are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt. Amortization of these costs is reported as interest and financing costs included in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost is principally determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically assesses if any of the inventory has expired or if the value has fallen below cost. When this occurs, the Company recognizes an expense for inventory write down. Total inventories at October 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0 and $56,212, respectively. Inventory consists of lids for pint size containers. During the year ended October 31, 2023, $56,190 of expired inventory was written off.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. During the year ended October 31, 2023, $30,300 of property related to an abandoned business venture were written off.

 

F-8

 

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution. As of October 31, 2023, there are obligations to issued Series A Preferred Stock which are convertible into 1,020,062,029 shares of common stock. The total potentially dilutive shares calculated is 1,020,062,029. It should be noted that contractually the limitations on obligation to issue Series A Preferred Stock that limit the number of shares converted to either 9.99% of the then outstanding shares. The Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors holds a control block of Series A Preferred Stock which confers upon him a majority vote in all Company matters including authorization of additional common shares or to reverse split the stock. As of October 31, 2023, and 2022, potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

 

               
    October 31,
2023
    October 31,
2022
 
Series A Preferred Stock Payable     1,020,062,029       89,095,509  
Third party convertible debt     -       17,607,000  
Total     1,020,062,029       106,702,909  

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options

 

The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

 

F-9

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows the FASB Fair Value Measurements standard, as they apply to its financial instruments. This standard defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. The standard requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value and carrying amounts of current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

 

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.

 

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

 

The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

 

The carrying amounts of Notes Payable approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

 

The table below classify the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2022.

 

2022:

 

                               
Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Gains  
Derivative   $ -     $ -     $ 247,034     $ 73,670  
Total   $ -     $ -     $ 247,034     $ 73,670  

 

F-10

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.

 

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of October 31, 2023, and 2022, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery. YIC Acquisitions Corp (Yuengling’s Ice Cream) generates its revenue through the sale of pints to retailers, through the online sales of pints directly to consumers, and through the sale of 3gallon tubs to food service establishments, such as restaurants, stadiums, and universities. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery or, for online sales, at the time of the transaction. Retailers and food service customers’ terms are generally 15 or 30 days. Online sales are paid via credit card and funds are generally received within 30 days.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,456,156, had a net loss of $424,031, and net cash used in operating activities of $120,832 for the year ended October 31, 2023. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock and/or debt financing is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

F-11

 

 

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT

 

Property and Equipment are first recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows between three and five years.

 

Long lived assets, including property and equipment, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Maintenance and repair expenses, as incurred, are charged to expense. Betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any gain or loss on the disposition included as income.

 

Property and equipment stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation consisted of the following:

 

               
    October 31,
2023
    October 31,
2022
 
Property and equipment   $ -     $ 30,300  
Less: accumulated depreciation     -       -  
Property and equipment, net   $ -     $ 30,300  

 

Property and equipment consisted of shelving and racks purchased for the Aureus Micro Markets business, which has been put on hold. Since the Company has yet to place the fixed assets into service management determined that they should be fully impaired. The Company recognized impairment expense of $30,300 for the year ended October 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 5 – LOAN RECEIVABLE

 

On May 17, 2022, the Company and Revolution Desserts, LLC (“Revolution”) terminated the Definitive Agreement entered into on April 30, 2022. The primary reason for the termination is the regulatory delays in qualifying the Company’s Reg 1-A. Per the terms of the original agreement, the Company has advanced Revolution $80,000, which has been accounted for as a note receivable. No loan terms have been established as of October 31, 2022. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of this receivable the Company has written the receivable off and recognized $80,000 of bad debt expense, during the year ended October 31, 2022.

The Company determines its valuation allowance on deferred tax assets by considering both positive and negative evidence in order to ascertain whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Due to the history of losses the Company has generated in the past, the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets in the U.S. can be realized as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

 

The Company is not currently under any international or any United States federal, state and local income tax examinations for any taxable years. All of the Company’s net operating losses are subject to tax authority adjustment upon examination.

Equity Financing Agreement with Trillium Partners, LP

 

On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) with Trillium Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TRILLIUM”). Under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, TRILLIUM will purchase, at the Company’s election, up to $3,000,000 of the Company’s registered common stock (the “Shares”).

 

During the term of the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company may at any time deliver a “put notice” to TRILLIUM thereby requiring TRILLIUM to purchase a certain dollar amount of the Shares. Simultaneous with the delivery of such Shares, TRILLIUM shall deliver payment for the Shares. Subject to certain restrictions, the purchase price for the Shares shall be equal to 85% of the Market Price during the Valuation Period as such capitalized terms are defined in the Agreement, subject to a floor of $0.005 per share, below which the Company shall not deliver a Put. “Valuation Period” shall mean the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing the first trading day following a) the Put Notice and b) clearing of the Estimated Shares delivered in connection with a Put Notice.

At the end of the Valuation Period, if the number of Estimated Shares delivered to the Investor is greater than the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Put Notice, then Investor shall return to Company the difference between the Estimated Shares and the actual number of Shares issuable pursuant to the Put Notice. If the number of Estimated Shares is less than the shares issuable pursuant to the Put Notice, then the Company shall issue additional shares to Investor equal to the difference.

 

II-2

 

 

The number of Shares sold to TRILLIUM shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock of the Company then beneficially owned by TRILLIUM, would result in TRILLIUM owning more than 9.99% of all of the Company’s common stock then outstanding. Additionally, TRILLIUM may not execute any short sales of the Company’s common stock. Further, the Company has the right, but never the obligation to draw down.

The Company is obligated to keep such registration statement effective until (i) three months after the last closing of a sale of Shares under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the date when TRILLIUM may sell all the Shares under Rule 144 without volume limitations, or (iii) the date TRILLIUM no longer owns any of the Shares.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors, and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted our director, officer, or other controlling person in connection with the securities registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”)

 

Mr. Jordan:

 

I have acted as counsel to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the proposed sale of up to 600,000,000 shares of common stock held by the Company (the “Shares”).

 

In connection therewith, I have examined and relied upon original, certified, conformed, photostat or other copies of (a) the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company; (b) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company; (c) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto; and (d) such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers of the Company and other documents, agreements and instruments as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions herein contained.

 

In all such examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, and the conformity to originals or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, photostat or other copies. In passing upon certain corporate records and documents of the Company, I have necessarily assumed the correctness and completeness of the statements made or included therein by the Company as to all matters of fact, and I express no opinion thereon.

 

Based on my examination mentioned above, I am of the opinion that the Shares are legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

I am an attorney admitted to practice in Maryland. I am familiar with the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws, and I have made such inquiries with respect thereto as I consider necessary to render this opinion with respect to a Nevada corporation. This opinion letter is opining upon and is limited to the current federal securities laws of the United States and, Nevada law, including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently exist. I express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to my firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am included within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Matheau J. W. Stout

The number of Estimated Shares shall be derived by dividing the Put Amount by the closing bid price for the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the Put Notice. If the number of Estimated Shares delivered to Purchaser is greater than the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Put Notice, then Purchaser shall return to Company’s transfer agent the difference between the Estimated Shares and the actual number of shares issuable pursuant to the Put Notice. If the number of Estimated Shares is less than the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Put Notice, then the Company shall issue additional shares to Purchaser equal to the difference.

 

The Closing of a Put shall occur upon the first Trading Day following the end of the Valuation Period. The Investor shall deliver the Purchase Amount specified in the Put Notice (less deposit and clearing fees) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company if the aforementioned receipt and approval are confirmed before 9:30 AM ET or on the following Trading Day if receipt and approval by the Investor’s broker is made after 9:30 AM EST (“Closing Date” or “Closing”). In addition, on or prior to such Closing Date, each of the Company and Investor shall deliver to each other all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered or reasonably requested by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

 

2.5 OVERALL LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange which limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the shares of Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”). If such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a delisting on the Principal Market then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The parties understand and agree that the Company’s failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Securities or the Investor’s obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2.5.

 

6

 

 

2.6 LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that number of Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.

4.11 EMPLOYEE RELATIONS. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is involved in any union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that relations with their employees are good.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in the SEC Documents or such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company reasonably believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.16 REGULATORY PERMITS. The Company and its Subsidiaries have in full force and effect all certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits from the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities and comparable foreign regulatory agencies, necessary to own, lease or operate their respective properties and assets and conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, approval, authorization or permit, except for such certificates, approvals, authorizations or permits which if not obtained, or such revocations or modifications which, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

14

 

 

4.17 INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles by a firm with membership to the PCAOB and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

4.18 NO MATERIALLY ADVERSE CONTRACTS, ETC.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

 

4.20 CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents filed at least ten (10) days prior to the date hereof and except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company could obtain from disinterested third parties, none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, such that disclosure would be required in the SEC Documents.

4.21 DILUTIVE EFFECT. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon purchases pursuant to this Agreement will increase in certain circumstances including, but not necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common Stock declines during the period between the Effective Date and the end of the Open Period. The Company’s executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect on the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, and with full understanding of the implications, that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that, subject to such limitations as are expressly set forth in the Registered Offering Transaction Documents, its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon purchases pursuant to this Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

 

4.22 NO GENERAL SOLICITATION.

Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public information to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements, therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall be construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

Furthermore, the Company agrees that it will not file any other Registration Statement for other securities, until thirty (30) calendar days after the Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC.

 

2.4 Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2.1, if the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC informs the Company that all of the unregistered Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform the Investor and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the SEC and/or (ii) withdraw the Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (the “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-1 to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering.

3.1 The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective and shall keep such Registration Statement effective until the earlier to occur of the date on which (A) the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities; or (B) the Investor has no right to acquire any additional shares of Common Stock under the Equity Financing Agreement (the “Registration Period”).

THIS AGREEMENT, made this January 9, 2024, among Mid Penn Bank, a Pennsylvania banking corporation (“Creditor”), YIC Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Debtor”), and YIC Corporation, (f/k/a Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation) a Pennsylvania corporation (“Yuengling’s” or “Original Assignor”).

 

Recitals

 

WHEREAS, Debtor is the owner of certain ice cream-related assets (“Assets”) acquired through a UCC Article 9 sale by Mid Penn Bank on or about June 18, 2019. As consideration for the purchase of the Assets, Debtor agreed to assume the debt of Yuengling Ice Cream Corp, a Pennsylvania business corporation, now called YIC Corporation. A copy of the original outstanding Debt is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

WHEREAS, Debtor is indebted to Creditor, Debtor’s principal creditor, in the amount of approximately One Million One Hundred Ninety One Thousand Two Hundred Seven and 5/100 Dollars ($1,191,207.05) (the “Debt”).

 

WHEREAS, Debtor has offered to transfer and assign all of its ice cream-related assets to Creditor, if Creditor releases Debtor from all debt owed to Creditor.

 

WHEREAS, This Agreement shall not affect the guarantors of the Debt which will be subject to further negotiation between the Creditor and the Guarantors.

 

WHEREAS, Creditor deems it advisable to acquire all of Debtor’s ice cream-related assets and operate its business directly.

 

WHEREAS, YIC Corporation, the original owner and assignor of certain ice cream-related assets, agrees, for this purpose alone, to sign off on this transaction between Debtor and Creditor to ensure Creditor has the proper title/ownership of the ice cream-related assets.

 

It is therefore agreed:

 

1. Transfer of assets by Debtor to Creditor. Debtor shall transfer, convey, and assign to Creditor on the Closing Date as hereinafter defined, in cancellation of the Debt of approximately One Million One Hundred Ninety One Thousand Two Hundred Seven and 5/100 Dollars ($1,191,207.05) owing by it to Creditor, Debtor’s business AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS, and all other of Debtor’s ice cream-related assets and property, of every kind, nature, and description, without limitation and wherever located, owned, or held by Debtor or to which Debtor is entitled on the Closing Date, except the following (the “Excluded Assets”):

 

(a) All cash in the Mid Penn Bank account on the Closing Date;

 

(b) Corporate seal, Certificate of Incorporation, minute books, stock books, and other records having to do with the corporate organization or capitalization of Debtor; and

 

(c) Rights which accrue or will accrue to Debtor under this agreement.

 

The ice cream-related assets which Debtor shall transfer and assign hereunder (the “Assets to be Acquired”) shall consist of those owned by Debtor on the Closing Date, without limitation, except for Excluded Assets.

 

 

 

 

2. Assumption of liabilities of Debtor. Subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, Creditor shall assume, pay, perform, or discharge in accordance with the respective terms thereof the following liabilities and obligations of Debtor and no other:

 

(a) The Trademark License Agreements attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

It being the intent that the following liabilities shall not be assumed by Creditor:

 

(a) All liabilities of Debtor; and

 

(b) All liabilities or indebtedness or obligations owing by Debtor to Guarantor.

 

3. Documents of transfer. The conveyance, transfer, assignments, and delivery of the Assets to be Acquired by Creditor shall be effected by bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, deeds, and other instruments of transfer and conveyance in such form as Creditor shall request. Debtor shall, at any time, and from time to time after the Closing Date, upon the request of Creditor execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or shall cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered, all such further acts, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, deeds, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, and assurances as may be required for effectively selling, assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, assuring, and confirming to Creditor, or to its successors and assigns, or for aiding and assisting in collecting and reducing to possession any or all of the Assets to be Acquired. If Debtor is unwilling or, for any reason, unable to take any of the foregoing actions, Debtor hereby authorizes and empowers Creditor (or any duly authorized officer of Creditor) in its (or his) own name, or in the name of its (or his) nominee, or in the name of, and as attorney hereby irrevocably constituted for, Debtor, to take any and all such action.

 

4. Extinguishment of indebtedness. On the Closing Date, Creditor shall accept the Assets to be Acquired in full satisfaction of the Debt of Debtor to Creditor. Creditor acknowledges that it shall recognize the unpaid balance of the Debt as an uncollectible loss, subject to effectuation of the terms and conditions and consummation of the Closing as provided in this agreement. On and after the Closing Date, with respect to Debtor, the Debt shall be null, void and of no effect.

 

(a) To the extent that the assignment of any contract, license, lease, commitment, or receivable to be assigned to Creditor shall require the consent of any other party to such contract, license, lease, commitment, or receivable, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof. Debtor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, on or before the Closing Date, the consent of the other party to such contract, license, lease, commitment, or receivable to the assignment thereof to Creditor. If such consent is not obtained on or before the Closing Date, Debtor shall cooperate with Creditor in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for Creditor the benefits under any such contract, license, lease, commitment, or receivable, including enforcement, at the cost and for the benefit of Creditor, of any and all rights of Debtor against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such other party or otherwise.

 

5. Closing. The Closing under this agreement shall take place at 10:00 am eastern daylight time, at the Creditor’s offices located at 2407 Park Drive, Harrisburg, PA 17110, on January 9, 2024, or at such other time and place as shall be fixed by an agreement between counsel for the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). From and after the Closing Date, Debtor shall not engage in any business or other activity, except as is required to complete its winding up, liquidation, and dissolution or as is contemplated or required by this agreement.

 

6. Debtor’s representations. Debtor represents and warrants to Creditor as follows:

 

(a) Organization and standing. Debtor is duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and is duly qualified, licensed, and in good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of Pennsylvania.

(f) Contracts. Annexed hereto as Exhibit D is a complete and correct list and summary description of all material contracts and agreements, oral or written, to which Debtor is a party at the date hereof, other than those described in other exhibits and other than arrangements made in the ordinary course of business which terminate or are terminable by Debtor on or before the Closing Date.
