Business Overview

 

We currently operate three niche e-commerce websitesthrough which we sell auto parts that are directly listed on these websites as well as across marketplace and social media sites, includingthrough online marketplaces and social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Google. These websites are:

 

LiftKits4LESS.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus)
Bumpers4LESS.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus)
TruckBedCovers4LESS.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus)

 

We operate these websites as an e-commerce retailerand distributor of auto and truck parts, including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers,and shocks. The e-commerce auto equipment market is composed of two segments, the direct replacement referred to as the “OE”(Original Equipment) market, typically used for automobile repairs, and the after-market automobile parts market, typically for customizationof vehicles. We deal exclusively in the aftermarket.

 

On August 26, 2021, we launched a beta test version ofwhat we plan to be our flagship website, Autoparts4less.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus).During this beta testing period we plan to make available and market products listed by numerous sellers with a plan to complete our presentvision for autoparts4less.com and become fully operational by May 2022. Autoparts4less.com will be distinguished from our other threewebsites in that it will operate as a streamlined automotive marketplace, as opposed to an e-commerce retailer, with hundreds ofsellers offering both aftermarket and Original Equipment Manufacturer (otherwise known as “OEM”) parts who will be solelyresponsible for shipping, refunds, and inquiries regarding parts.

NASDAQ listing requirements include, among other things, a stock price threshold of $4.00for a period of 30 days.

Risk Factor Summary

 

The following is a summary of the more significantrisks relating to our Company. A more detailed description of each of the risks can be found below in this Prospectus under the caption“Risk Factors.”

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Any significant disruption in service on our computer systems or caused by our third-party storage and system providers could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers.
   
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt or adversely impact our future business, financial condition and results of operations is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
   
There is substantial doubt as to whether we can continue as a going concern.
   
Our financial results will fluctuate in the future, which makes them difficult to predict.
   
Our costs may grow more quickly than our revenues, which may negatively affect our potential profitability.
   
We cannot assure you that we will effectively manage our growth.
   
The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.
   
If we fail to acquire new customers, or fail to do so in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable to increase net revenue per active customer or continue to report profitable results of operations.
   
Our success depends in part on our ability to increase our net revenue per active customers; if we fail to increase customer loyalty and repeat purchasing as well as maintain high levels of customer engagement, our growth prospects and revenue will be materially adversely affected.

 

- 4 -


 

Uncertain acceptance and maintenance of our brand.
   
If we do not successfully optimize and operate our fulfillment network our business could be harmed.
   
Risks associated with the suppliers from whom our products are sourced could materially adversely affect our financial performance as well as our reputation and brand.
   
Our arrangements with most of our suppliers do not provide for the long-term availability of merchandise or the continuation of particular pricing practices, nor do they usually restrict such suppliers from selling products to other buyers.
   
We depend on our suppliers to perform certain services regarding the products that we offer.
   
Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to provide our customers a cost-effective shopping platform that is able to respond and adapt to rapid changes in technology.
   
Significant merchandise returns could harm our business.
   
We may be subject to product liability claims if people or property is harmed by the products we sell.
   
We are subject to risks related to online payment methods.
   
If demand for our products slows, then our business may be materially adversely affected.
   
Our online auto parts market is highly competitive and we may be unable to compete effectively.
   
If we are unable to compete successfully against other businesses that sell the products that we sell, we could lose customers and our sales and profits may decline.
   
Consolidation among our competitors may negatively impact our business.
   
Our failure to protect our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our brand name and profitability.
   
Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
   
Failure to comply with federal, state and international laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.
   
We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company.
   
Because the President of our wholly owned subsidiary has a controlling interest in our voting shares, he can exert significant control over our business and affairs.
   
There are potential conflicts of interest between the interests of common shareholders and the ownership interests of the holders of Series B.
   
We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders; we may be unable to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.
   
Our flagship website, Autoparts4less.com, is currentlybeing beta tested, and our plan is for it to become fully operational by May 2022; should we experience errors or other problems in ourdevelopment of the website, our costs will increase and our results of operations will be negatively impacted.

Risks Related to the Reverse Stock Split

 

We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will remain high enough for the reverse split to have the intended effect of complying with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement;  if we effect a reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that we will meet NASDAQ’s other minimum requirements or standards.
   
Even if the reverse stock split increases the market price of our common stock and we meet NASDAQ’s initial listing requirements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock and Warrants.
   
The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.
   
Following the reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.
   
As a result of the timing of the reverse stock split, up listing to NASDAQ and pricing of this Offering, potential investors will not have an opportunity to check the actual post-split market price before confirming their purchases in this Offering.
   
Our reverse stock split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our Common Stock.

 

Risks Relating to our NASDAQ Application

 

We cannot assure that the market price of our common stock will attain the $4.00 required price level for a 30 day period to list our common stock on NASDAQ (while still quoted on the OTCQB) or thereafter maintain the required $1.00 stock price thereafter on NASDAQ.
   
There is no assurance that our application to NASDAQ will be approved, including that we may be unable to comply with all of NASDAQ’s other initial listing requirements or standards.
   
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock and Warrants.

 

Please see “Risk Factors” beginningon page 11 of this Prospectus for a more detailed discussion of these risks. Additional risks, beyond those summarized above ordiscussed under the caption “Risk Factors” or described elsewhere in this Prospectus may also materially and adverselyimpact our business, operations or financial results.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a highdegree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this Prospectus,before purchasing our securities. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations orprospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this Prospectus, including statementsin the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary StatementRegarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

There is substantial doubt as to whether wecan continue as a going concern.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been preparedassuming that we will continue as a going concern. As more fully explained in Note 2 to our financial statements for our fiscal year endingJanuary 31, 2021, which includes management’s plans regarding this uncertainty, we had a negative working capital of $4,344,055and an accumulated deficit of $20,381,977 and stockholders’ deficit of $6,090,190 as of and for the year ended January 31, 2021.Further, we had a negative working capital of $5,686,673 and an accumulated deficit of $25,268,357 for our quarter ending October 31,2021. As of October 31, 2021 we only had cash and cash equivalents of $350,299 and approximately $1,836,000 of short-term debt in default.Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2021.

 

Our financial results will fluctuate in the future, which makes themdifficult to predict.

 

Our financial results may fluctuate in the future.Additionally, we have a limited operating history with the current scale of our business, which makes it difficult to forecast futureresults. As a result, you should not rely upon our past financial results as indicators of future performance. You should consider therisks and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly growing companies in evolving markets. Our financial results in any given quartercan be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control, including:

 

The extent to which COVID-19 outbreak as well as the impact of the variants and the levels of vaccinations will impact business and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and may add to the risks described below.
   
Our ability to maintain and grow our user base. 
   
Our suppliers may suffer downturns or financial instability.
   
Development and introduction of new products by our competitors.
   
Increases in marketing, sales, service, and other operating expenses that we may incur to grow and expand our operations and to remain competitive.
   
Our ability to maintain gross margins and operating margins;
   
Changes affecting our suppliers and other third-party service providers;
   
Adverse litigation judgments, settlements, or other litigation-related costs; and
   
Changes in business or macroeconomic conditions including regulatory changes.

 

Any one or a combination of the above factors mayhave a negative impact on our results of operations and which could result in our never achieving profitability.

 

We cannot assure you that we will effectivelymanage our growth.

 

We intend to hire additional support personnel andprogrammers, offer new products from our suppliers, substantially increase our marketing and promotion campaign and launch new websites.The growth and expansion of our business create significant challenges for our management, operational, and financial resources, includingmanaging multiple relationships and interactions with users, distributors, vendors, and other third parties. As we continue to grow andrefine our information technology systems, internal

 

- 11 -


 

management processes, internal controls and proceduresand production processes may be inadequate to support our operations. To ensure success, we must continue to improve our operational,financial, and management processes and systems and to effectively expand, train, and manage our employee base. As we continue to grow,and implement more complex organizational and management structures, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits ofour corporate culture, including our current team’s efficiency and expertise, which could negatively affect our results of operations.Additionally, this expansion increases the complexity of our business and places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations,systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions. We may be unable to managegrowth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our results of operations such that wemay never achieve profitability.

 

Our costs may grow quicker than our revenues,which may negatively affect our potential profitability.

 

We expect our expenses to continue to increase inthe future as we expand our product offerings and hire additional personnel. We expect to continue to incur increasing costs, in particularfor working capital to purchase inventory and increase the size and scope of our marketing and promotion campaign and to improve our technologicaltools. Our expenses may be greater than we anticipate which would have a negative impact on our results of operations and our abilityto invest in expansion of our business such that we may never achieve profitability.

 

The loss of one or more of our key personnel,or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.

 

We depend on the continued services and performanceof key members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, Timothy Armes, and the presidentof our subsidiary, Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., Chris Davenport. If we cannot call upon our officers and/or key management personnel for anyreason, our operations and development could be harmed. We do not carry key man life insurance. We have not yet developed a successionplan. Furthermore, as we grow, we will be required to hire and attract additional professionals in programming, accounting, legal, finance,marketing, customer services. We may be unable to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions, which will affect our abilityto grow and expand our business.

 

If we fail to acquire new customers, or failto do so in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable to increase net revenue per active customer or continue to report profitable resultsof operations.

 

Our success depends on our ability to acquire newcustomers in a cost-effective manner. In order to expand our customer base, we must appeal to and acquire customers who have historicallyused other means of commerce to purchase the goods we provide and may prefer alternatives to our offerings, such as traditional brickand mortar retailers, the websites of our competitors or our suppliers’ own websites. We have primarily relied upon our organicgrowth and our advertising through Facebook. We cannot assure you that the net profit from new customers we acquire will ultimately exceedthe cost of acquiring those customers. If we fail to deliver a quality shopping experience, or if consumers do not perceive that the products,we offer to be economically advantageous, of high value and quality, we may be unable to acquire new customers. If we are unable to acquirenew customers who purchase products in numbers sufficient to grow our business, we be unable to generate the scale necessary to drivebeneficial effects with our suppliers, our net revenue may decrease, and our business, financial condition and operating results may bematerially adversely affected.

 

Our success depends in part on our ability toincrease our net revenue per active customers; if we fail to increase customer loyalty and repeat purchasing as well as maintain highlevels of customer engagement, our growth prospects and revenue will be materially adversely affected.

 

Our ability to grow our business also depends on ourability to retain our existing customer base and generate increased revenue and repeat purchases from this customer base and maintainhigh levels of customer engagement. To do this, we must continue to provide our customers and potential customers with a unified, convenient,efficient, and differentiated shopping experience. If we fail to increase net revenue per active customer, generate repeat purchases ormaintain high levels of customer engagement and average order value, our growth prospects, operating results, and financial conditioncould be materially adversely affected.

 

Uncertain acceptance and maintenance of ourbrand.

 

We believe that the establishment and maintenanceof our brand that the public identifies with us is critical to attracting and expanding our customer base. No assurance can be given thatour branding efforts will be successful. Promotion of brand awareness among users will depend, among other things, on our success in ourorganic growth, our marketing efforts, and the usability of our websites, none of which can be assured.

If we do not successfully optimize and operateour fulfillment network our business could be harmed.

 

If we do not adequately predict customer demand orotherwise optimize and operate our fulfillment network successfully, it could result in excess or insufficient fulfillment, or resultin increased costs, impairment charges, or both, and harm our business in other ways. As we continue to add fulfillment capability oradd new businesses with different requirements, our fulfillment networks become increasingly complex and operating them becomes more challenging.There can be no assurance that we will be able to operate our networks effectively. In addition, a failure to optimize inventory in ourfulfillment network may increase our shipping cost. Orders from several of our websites are fulfilled primarily from a single location,and we have only a limited ability to reroute orders to third parties for drop-shipping.

 

We rely on a limited number of shipping companiesto deliver inventory to us and completed orders to our customers. If we are unable to negotiate acceptable terms with these companiesor they experience performance problems or other difficulties, it could negatively impact our operating results and customer experience.In addition, our ability to receive inbound inventory efficiently and ship completed orders to customers also may be negatively affectedby inclement weather, fire, flood, power loss, earthquakes, labor disputes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God, and similar factors.

 

Third parties either drop-ship or otherwise fulfillan increasing portion of our customers’ orders, and we are increasingly reliant on the reliability, quality, and future procurementof their services. Under some of our commercial agreements, we maintain the inventory of other companies, thereby increasing the complexityof tracking inventory and operating our fulfillment network. Our failure to properly handle such inventory or the inability of these othercompanies to accurately forecast product demand would result in unexpected costs and other harm to our business and reputation.

 

We may face inventory risks.

 

We are exposed to inventory risks that may adverselyaffect our operating results as a result of seasonality, new product launches by manufacturers, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing,defective merchandise, changes in consumer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in consumer tastes with respect to our products,and other factors. We endeavor to accurately predict these trends and avoid overstocking or understocking products we sell. Demand forproducts, however, can change significantly between the time inventory is ordered and the date of sale. In addition, when we begin sellinga new product, it may be difficult to establish vendor relationships, determine appropriate product selection, and accurately forecastdemand. The acquisition of certain types of inventory may require significant lead-time and prepayment and may not be returnable. We planto carry a broad selection of inventory and we may be unable to sell products in sufficient quantities or during the relevant sellingseasons. Any one of the inventory risk factors set forth above may adversely affect our operating results.

 

Risks associated with the suppliers from whomour products are sourced could materially adversely affect our financial performance as well as our reputation and brand.

 

We depend on our ability to provide our customerswith a wide range of products from qualified suppliers in a timely and efficient manner. Political and economic instability, the financialstability of suppliers, suppliers’ ability to meet our standards, labor problems experienced by suppliers, the availability of rawmaterials, merchandise quality issues, currency exchange rates, transport availability and cost, transport security, inflation, and otherfactors relating to the suppliers are beyond our control.

 

Our arrangements with most of our suppliersdo not provide for the long-term availability of merchandise or the continuation of particular pricing practices, nor do they usuallyrestrict such suppliers from selling products to other buyers.

 

There can be no assurance that our current supplierswill continue to seek to sell us products on current terms or that we will be able to establish new or otherwise extend current supplyrelationships to ensure product acquisitions in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable commercial terms. Our ability to developand maintain relationships with reputable suppliers and offer high quality merchandise to our customers is critical to our success. Ifwe are unable to develop and maintain relationships with suppliers that would allow us to offer a sufficient amount and variety of qualitymerchandise on acceptable commercial terms, our ability to satisfy our customers’ needs, and therefore our long-term growth prospects,would be materially adversely affected.

 

We depend on our suppliers to perform certainservices regarding the products that we offer.

 

As part of offering our suppliers’ productsfor sale on our sites, they generally agree to conduct a number of traditional retail operations regarding their products, including maintaininginventory and preparing merchandise for shipment to our customers. We may be unable to ensure that these suppliers will continue to performthese services to our customers’ satisfaction in a manner that provides our customer with a unified brand experience or on commerciallyreasonable terms. If our customers become dissatisfied with the products and shipments provided by our suppliers, our business, reputation,and brands could suffer.

Our business may be adversely affected if weare unable to provide our customers a cost-effective shopping platform that is able to respond and adapt to rapid changes in technology.

 

The number of people who access the Internet throughdevices other than personal computers, including mobile phones, smartphones, handheld computers such as notebooks and tablets, video gameconsoles, and television set-top devices, has increased dramatically in the past few years. The smaller screen size, functionality, andmemory associated with some alternative devices may make the use of our sites and purchasing our products more difficult. The versionsof our sites developed for these devices may not be compelling to consumers. In addition, it is time consuming and costly to keep pacewith rapidly changing and continuously evolving technology.

 

As new mobile devices and platforms are released,it is difficult to predict the problems we may encounter in developing applications for alternative devices and platforms, and we mayneed to devote significant resources to the creation, support, and maintenance of such applications. If we are unable to attract consumersto our websites through these devices or are slow to develop a version of our websites that is more compatible with alternative devicesor a mobile application, we may fail to capture a significant share of consumers which could adversely affect our business.

 

Further, we continually upgrade existing technologiesand business applications, and we may be required to implement new technologies or business applications in the future. The implementationof upgrades and changes requires significant investments. Our results of operations may be affected by the timing, effectiveness and costsassociated with the successful implementation of any upgrades or changes to our systems and infrastructure. In the event that it is moredifficult for our customers to buy products from us on their mobile devices, or if our customers choose not to buy products from us ontheir mobile devices or to use mobile products that do not offer access to our websites, our customer growth could be harmed and our business,financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

 

Significant merchandise returns could harm ourbusiness.

 

We allow our customers to return products, subjectto our return policy. If merchandise returns are significant, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operationscould be harmed. Many of our products are large and require special handling and delivery. From time to time our products are damagedin transit, which can increase return rates and harm our brand.

 

We may be subject to product liability claimsif people or property are harmed by the products we sell.

 

Some of the products we sell may expose us to productliability claims relating to personal injury, death, or environmental or property damage, and may require product recalls or other actions.Although we maintain liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actuallyincurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, some of our agreementswith our vendors and sellers do not indemnify us from product liability.

 

We are subject to risks related to online paymentmethods.

 

We accept payments using a variety of methods, includingcredit card, debit card, PayPal, and gift cards. As we offer new payment options to consumers, we may be subject to additional regulations,compliance requirements and fraud. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, whichmay increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower profitability. We are also subject to payment card association operatingrules and certification requirements, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and rules governing electronic fundstransfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. As our business changes, we mayalso be subject to different rules under existing standards, which may require new assessments that involve costs above what we currentlypay for compliance. If we fail to comply with the rules or requirements of any provider of a payment method we accept, if the volume offraud in our transactions limits or terminates our rights to use payment methods we currently accept, or if a data breach occurs relatingto our payment systems, we may, among other things, be subject to fines or higher transaction fees and may lose, or face restrictionsplaced upon, our ability to accept credit card and debit card payments from consumers or facilitate other types of online payments. Ifany of these events were to occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

 

We occasionally receive orders placed with fraudulentcredit card data. We may suffer losses as a result of orders placed with fraudulent credit card data even if the associated financialinstitution approved payment of the orders. Under current credit card practices, we may be liable for fraudulent credit card transactions.If we are unable to detect or control credit card fraud, our liability for these transactions could harm our business, financial condition,and results of operations.

We could be harmed by data loss or other securitybreaches.

 

As a result of our services being web-based and thefact that we process, store, and transmit large amounts of data, including personal information, for our customers, failure to preventor mitigate data loss or other security breaches could expose us or our customers to a risk of loss or misuse of such information, adverselyaffect our operating results, result in litigation or potential liability for us, and otherwise harm our business. We use third partytechnology and systems for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, encryption and authentication technology, employee email,content delivery to customers, back-office support, and other functions. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designedto protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reducethe impact of a security breach, such measures cannot provide absolute security.

 

Climatechanges may indirectly impact our business.

 

Climate changessuch as severe weather, temperature fluctuations, water shortages may negatively impact the production of our auto parts products as wellas supply chains for our products. Additionally, climate change related regulations may increase the costs of doing business, which mayincrease the costs to consumers of our products, which may negatively impact our revenues and potential profitability.

 

We face risks related to system interruptionand lack of redundancy.

 

We may experience occasional system interruptionsand delays that make our websites and services unavailable or slow to respond and prevent us from efficiently fulfilling orders whichmay reduce our net sales and the attractiveness of our products. If we are unable to continually add software and hardware, effectivelyupgrade our systems and network infrastructure, and take other steps to improve the efficiency of our systems, it could cause system interruptionsor delays and adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our computer and communications systems and operationscould be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, acts ofGod, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar events or disruptions. Any of these events could cause system interruption,delays, and loss of critical data, and could prevent us from accepting and fulfilling customer orders which could make our products lessattractive and subject us to liability. Our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient.In addition, we may have inadequate insurance coverage to compensate for any related losses. Any of these events could damage our reputationand be expensive to remedy.

 

Our flagship website under development and currentlybeing beta tested, Autoparts4less.com, may be subject to errors or developmental difficulties, which would increase our costs and negativelyimpact our results of operations.

 

Our flagship website, Autoparts4Less.com, is currently being beta tested,and we plan to complete the new website by May 2022, which may be subject to technical or other operational difficulties due to codingerrors, underestimation of the time and resources commitment involved in website development, failure to integrate with third party systems,and cross platform compatibility. Should any of these risks materially affect development of our flagship website, our costs will increaseand negatively impact our results of operations.

 

Legislation or other changes in U.S. tax lawcould adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and localincome taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and theU.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders ofour common stock. In recent years, many changes have been made to applicable tax laws and changes are likely to continue to occur in thefuture.

 

For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the TCJA,was enacted in 2017 and made significant changes to corporate taxation, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginalrate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, the limitation of the tax deduction for net interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income (exceptfor certain small businesses), the limitation of the deduction for net operating losses from taxable years beginning after December 31,2017 to 80% of current year taxable income and the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks generated in taxable years ending afterDecember 31, 2017 (though any such net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely) and the modification or repeal of many businessdeductions and credits. In addition, on March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the CARESAct, which included certain

changes in tax law intended to stimulate the U.S.economy in light of the COVID-19 public health emergency, including temporary beneficial changes to the treatment of net operating losses,interest deductibility limitations and payroll tax matters. On April 21, 2020, the Paycheck ProtectionProgram and Health Care Enhancement Act was enacted that increased funding to the PaycheckProtection Program and also provide more funding for hospitals and testing for COVID-19. In addition, new legislation enacted bythe current

 

- 15 -


 

administration, called the “American RescuePlan”, included economic stimulus provisions, State and local recovery funds, capital project funds, and other financial incentives.All these pieces of legislation may have an impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, in their implementationand as well as when they expire, although it is too soon to quantify the effect.

 

It cannot be predicted whether, when, in what formor with what effective dates new tax or stimulus laws may be enacted, or regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or issuedunder existing or new tax laws, which could result in an increase in our or our shareholders’ tax liability or require changes inthe manner in which we operate in order to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects of changes in tax law or in the interpretation thereof.

 

If demand for our products slows, then our businessmay be materially adversely affected.

 

Demand for the products we sell may be affected by a number of factorswe cannot control, including:

 

Number of older vehicles in service since vehicles seven years old or older are generally no longer under the original vehicle manufacturers’ warranties and tend to need more maintenance and repair than newer vehicles.
   
Rising energy prices. Increases in energy prices may cause our customers to defer purchases of certain of our products as they use a higher percentage of their income to pay for gasoline and other energy costs and may drive their vehicles less, resulting in less wear and tear and lower demand for repairs and maintenance.
   
Periods of declining economic conditions, consumers may reduce their discretionary spending by deferring vehicle maintenance or repair or affect our customers’ ability to obtain credit.
   
Milder weather conditions may lower the failure rates of automotive parts, while extended periods of rain and winter precipitation may cause our customers to defer maintenance and repair on their vehicles. Extremely hot or cold conditions may enhance demand for our products due to increased failure rates of our customers’ automotive parts.
   
Advances in automotive technology, such as electric vehicles, and parts design can result in cars needing maintenance less frequently and parts lasting longer.
   
Number of miles vehicles are driven annually (higher vehicle mileage increases the need for maintenance and repair and mileage levels may be affected by gas prices, ride sharing and other factors).
   
Quality of the vehicles manufactured by the original vehicle manufacturers and the length of the warranties or maintenance offered on new vehicles.
   
Restrictions on access to telematics and diagnostic tools and repair information imposed by the original vehicle manufacturers or by governmental regulation (these restrictions may cause vehicle owners to rely on dealers to perform maintenance and repairs).

 

These factors could result in a decline in the demandfor our products, which could adversely affect our business and overall financial condition.

 

If we are unable to compete successfully againstother businesses that sell the products that we sell, we could lose customers and our sales and profits may decline.

 

The sale of automotive parts, accessories and maintenanceitems is highly competitive, and sales volumes are dependent on many factors, including name recognition, product availability, customerservice, store location and price. Our competitors include national, regional, and local auto parts chains, independently owned partsstores, online automotive parts stores or marketplaces, wholesale distributors, auto dealers and other retailers that sell aftermarketvehicle parts and supplies, chemicals, accessories, tools, and maintenance parts. Our competitors may gain competitive advantages, suchas greater financial and marketing resources allowing them to sell automotive products at lower prices, larger stores with more merchandise,longer operating histories, more frequent customer visits and more effective advertising. Online and multi-channel retailers often focuson delivery services, offering customers faster, guaranteed delivery times and low-price or free shipping. Online businesseshave lower operating costs than we do. Many of our competitors are able to compete more effectively in the commercial market on the basisof customer service, merchandise quality, selection and availability, price, product warranty, distribution locations and the strengthof their brand name, trademarks and service marks, some automotive aftermarket participants have been in business for substantially longerperiods of time than we have, and as a result have developed long-term customer relationships and have large available inventories. Ifwe are unable to profitably develop new commercial customers, our sales growth may be limited.

 

- 16 -


 

Consolidation among our competitors may negativelyimpact our business.

 

Historically some of our competitors have merged.Consolidation among our competitors could enhance their market share and financial position, provide them with the ability to achievebetter purchasing terms and provide more competitive prices to customers for whom we compete, and allow them to utilize merger synergiesand cost savings to increase advertising and marketing budgets to more effectively compete for customers. Consolidation by our competitorscould also increase their access to local market parts assortment. These consolidated competitors could take sales volume away from usin certain markets, could achieve greater market penetration, could cause us to change our pricing with a negative impact on our marginsor could cause us to spend more money to maintain customers or seek new customers, all of which could negatively impact our business.

 

Our failure to protect our reputation couldhave a material adverse effect on our brand name and profitability.

 

The value in our brand name and its continued effectivenessin driving our sales growth are dependent to a significant degree on our ability to maintain our reputation for safety, high product quality,friendliness, service, trustworthy advice, integrity, and business ethics. Any negative publicity about these areas could damage our reputationand may result in reduced demand for our merchandise. The increasing use of technology also poses a risk as customers are able to quicklycompare products and prices and use social media to provide feedback in a manner that is rapidly and broadly dispersed. Our reputationcould be impacted if customers have a bad experience and share it over social media.

 

Failure to comply with ethical, social, product,labor, environmental and anti-corruption standards could also jeopardize our reputation and potentially lead to various adverse actionsby consumer or environmental groups, employees, or regulatory bodies.

 

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations,to maintain an effective system of internal controls or to provide accurate and timely financial statement information could also hurtour reputation. If we fail to comply with existing or future laws or regulations, we may be subject to governmental or judicial finesor sanctions, while incurring substantial legal fees and costs. In addition, our capital and operating expenses could increase due toimplementation of and compliance with existing and future laws and regulations or remediation measures that may be required if we arefound to be noncompliant with any existing or future laws or regulations. The inability to pass through any increased expenses throughhigher prices would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Damage to our reputation or loss of consumer confidencefor any of these or other reasons could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, as well asrequire additional resources to rebuild our reputation.

 

Our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows may be affected by litigation.

 

We may become involved in lawsuits, regulatory investigations,governmental and other legal procedures, arising out of the ordinary course of business. Legal action may be material and may adverselyaffect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

Government regulation of the internet and e-commerceis evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and resultsof operations.

 

We are subject to general business regulations andlaws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Existing and future regulations and laws couldimpede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce, or mobile commerce. These regulations and laws may involve taxes, tariffs, privacy anddata security, anti-spam, content protection, electronic contracts and communications, consumer protection, Internet neutrality and giftcards. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes and consumer privacy applyto the Internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and do not contemplate or addressthe unique issues raised by the Internet or e-commerce. It is possible that general business regulations and laws, or those specificallygoverning the Internet or e-commerce, may be interpreted, and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to anotherand may conflict with other rules or our practices. We cannot be sure that our practices have complied, comply, or will comply fully withall such laws and regulations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result indamage to our reputation, a loss in business and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others. Any such proceedingor action could hurt our reputation, force us to spend significant amounts in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increaseour costs of doing business, decrease the use of our sites by consumers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary liability.We may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance withany such laws or regulations. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content availableon our sites or may even attempt to completely block access to our sites. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantiallyharm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted, in whole or in part, from operating in one or more countries, ourability to retain or increase our customer base may be adversely affected, and we may not be able to maintain or grow our net revenueand expand our business as anticipated.

Failure to comply with federal, state and internationallaws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansion of current or the enactment of newlaws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, could adversely affect our business and our financialcondition.

 

A variety of federal, state, and international lawsand regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing, export, and security of consumer data. Laws and regulations relating toprivacy, data protection and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. These requirementsmay be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict with other rules or ourpractices. As a result, our practices may not have complied or may not comply in the future with all such laws, regulations, requirements,and obligations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any federal, state or internationalprivacy or consumer protection related laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct,regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection could adverselyaffect our reputation, brand and business, and may result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or othersor other liabilities or require us to change our operations and/or cease using certain data sets. Any such claim, proceeding or actioncould hurt our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings, distract our management,increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of customers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary penalties.We may also be contractually required to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance withany laws, regulations or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection or any inadvertent or unauthorized use ordisclosure of data that we store or handle as part of operating our business.

 

Federal, state, and international governmental authoritiescontinue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party “cookies” and other methods of online trackingfor behavioral advertising and other purposes. U.S. and foreign governments have enacted, have considered or are considering legislationor regulations that could significantly restrict the ability of companies and individuals to engage in these activities, such as by regulatingthe level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ cookies or other electronic tracking tools or the use ofdata gathered with such tools. Additionally, some providers of consumer devices and web browsers have implemented, or announced plansto implement, means to make it easier for Internet users to prevent the placement of cookies or to block other tracking technologies,which could if widely adopted result in the use of third-party cookies and other methods of online tracking becoming significantly lesseffective. The regulation of the use of these cookies and other current online tracking and advertising practices or a loss in our abilityto make effective use of services that employ such technologies could increase our costs of operations and limit our ability to acquirenew customers on cost-effective terms and consequently, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

In addition, various federal, state, and foreign legislativeand regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issuerevised rules or guidance regarding privacy, data protection and consumer protection. Any such changes may force us to incur substantialcosts or require us to change our business practices. This could compromise our ability to pursue our growth strategy effectively andmay adversely affect our ability to acquire customers or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 

A privacy breach could damage our reputationand our relationship with our customers, expose us to litigation risk and adversely affect our business.

 

As part of our normal course of business, we collect,process, and retain sensitive and confidential customer information. Despite security measures we have in place, our facilities and systemsmay be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors,or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential informationcould severely damage our reputation and our relationships with our customers, expose us to risks of litigation and liability and adverselyaffect our business.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation exculpates ourofficers and directors from certain liability to us or our stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provisionlimiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts or failures to act, except for acts involving intentional misconduct,fraud, or a knowing violation of law. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officersand directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties tous.

 

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

Business disruptions could affect our operatingresults.

 

A significant portion of our development activitiesand certain other critical business operations are concentrated in a few geographic areas. A major earthquake, fire or other catastrophicevent that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical facilities could severely affect our ability to conduct normalbusiness operations and, as a result, our future financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We expect to incur substantial expenses to meetour reporting obligations as a public company.

 

We estimate that it will cost a minimum of $250,000annually to maintain the current level of management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company, fundsthat would otherwise be spent for our business operations. Our public reporting costs may increase over time, which will increase ourexpenses and may decrease our potential profitability.

 

Because the President of our wholly owned subsidiaryhas a controlling interest in our voting shares, he can exert significant control over our business and affairs.

 

The President of our wholly owned subsidiary, AutoParts 4 Less, Inc. Christopher Davenport, beneficially owns a controlling interest of our outstanding common stock, specifically 17,100Series B Preferred Shares providing Christopher Davenport with controlling voting rights of 57% of our outstanding common stock shares.As a result, the President of our wholly owned subsidiary will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiringstockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

 

to elect or defeat the election of our directors.
to amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws.
to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction.
to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote.

 

This concentration of ownership by itself may havethe effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from makinga tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium overour stock price.

 

There are potential conflicts of interest betweenthe interests of common shareholders and the ownership interests of the holders of Series B and C preferred stock.

 

The certificates of designation of our Series B andC preferred stock contain provisions which provide for super voting rights and conversion rights for the holders of those preferred shares.The result of this is that those holders are not affected by events or transactions which dilute common shareholders until such time asthey convert their preferred shares to common shares. In the past, we have issued what are commonly referred to as “toxic”convertible securities. The effect of these issuances resulted in substantial dilution over the past few years to common shareholders.These have had no effect on voting rights or conversion rights of the Series B and C preferred stockholders. Accordingly, there are potentialand actual conflicts of interests between the interests of the Series B and C preferred shareholders interests and the interests of ourcommon shareholders. In future periods, if we are unable to maintain profitability of our operations, common shareholders could againbecome subject to these types of dilution events and transactions.

 

We will need substantial additional fundingto continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders; we may be unable to raise capital when needed, if at all,which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programsor commercialization efforts.

 

We expect to incur additional costs associated withoperating as a public company, as disclosed above, and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business andour expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that mayincrease our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will needto obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations.

 

We have estimated that we will require approximately$4,000,000 to fully carry out our business plan for the next twelve months. At present, absent additional financing, we estimate thatwe have sufficient cash and anticipated revenue to fully carry out our business plan for three months, after which we may need to scaleback our business plan. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We will require additionalfinancing to finance working capital and pay for operating expenses and capital requirements until we achieve a positive cash flow.

 

- 19 -


 

Our ability to generate positive cash flow will bedependent upon our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our new business plan and raise significant additional financing. If weare unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able to fully develop our business. Specifically, we will need to raise additionalfunds to:

 

support our planned growth and carry out our business plan
hire top quality personnel for all areas of our business; and
address competing market developments

 

To date, we have financed our operations entirelythrough equity investments by related parties and other investors and the incurrence of debt. We expect to continue to do so in the foreseeablefuture. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or atall. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it will result in dilution to our existingstockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additionalcapital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we will likely become subject to further covenants restricting our businessactivities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicingthe interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to supportdevelopment of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractiveterms, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts. Any of these eventscould significantly harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.

 

We may have difficulty obtaining officer anddirector coverage or obtaining such coverage on favorable terms or financially be unable to obtain any such coverage, which may make itdifficult for our attracting and retaining qualified members of our Boards, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensationcommittee, and qualified executive officers.

 

We also expect that being a public company and thesenew rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be requiredto accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage or financially be unable to obtain such coverage. Thesefactors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board, particularly to serve on our auditcommittee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

 

We are required to comply with certain provisionsof Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed, and our stockprice could decline.

 

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 ofthe Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require an annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, and for certain issuers anattestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met formanagement to assess the internal controls over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation,testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards.

 

We expect to incur expenses and to devote resourcesto Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to completethe assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies inour internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on atimely basis. In addition, although attestation requirements by our independent registered public accounting firm are not presently applicableto us, we could become subject to these requirements in the future, and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementationof any resulting changes to internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting presently are noteffective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how the market prices of our shares will be affected; however, we believe thatthere is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively affected.

 

These and other new or changed laws, rules, regulations,and standards are, or will be, subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity. As a result, their applicationin practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertaintyregarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Our efforts tocomply with evolving laws, regulations and standards are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expensesand a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Further, compliance withnew and existing laws, rules, regulations, and standards may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain director and officerliability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. Membersof our Board and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer could face an increased risk of personal liability inconnection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified directors andexecutive officers, which could harm our business. We continually evaluate and monitor regulatory developments and cannot estimate thetiming or magnitude of additional costs we may incur as a result.

Public disclosure requirements and compliancewith changing regulation of corporate governance pose challenges for our management team and result in additional expenses and costs whichmay reduce the focus of management and the profitability of our company.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relatingto corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules andregulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies andsignificantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devotesignificant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead toincreased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activitiesto compliance activities.

 

COVID-19 RELATED RISKS

 

THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 HAS RESULTED IN A WIDESPREADHEALTH CRISIS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ECONOMIES AND FINANCIAL MARKETS WORLDWIDE AND COULD EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK FACTORSDESCRIBED HEREIN

 

The outbreak of the coronavirus may negativelyimpact sourcing and manufacturing of the products that we sell as well as consumer spending, which could adversely affect our business,results of operations and financial condition.

 

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to severedisruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis..”On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United Statesto aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized theoutbreak as a “pandemic”. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adverselyaffect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The recent emergence and uncertainty arising from the COVID 19 omicronvariant may cause market uncertainty and reduced demand for our products and negatively impact our share price.

 

On November 29, 2021, the World Health Organizationannounced that the omicron variant is likely to spread and creates a global risk. The supply chains for and delivery of our products couldbe disrupted as a result of the occurrence of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths resulting from the omicron variant and could adverselyaffect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Future outbreaks of new strains of COVID-19 may not respond to existingtreatments including vaccinations and the rapid spread of the omicron and future new variants make it difficult to predict the impactof COVID-19 on our operations. Because of the uncertainty and impact of the omicron variant, investors may not want to purchase our commonstock and the demand for our shares and our stock price could be negatively impacted.

 

The COVID-19 Pandemic poses threats to manufacturingcapacity and temporary disruption of operations.

 

The ability of our industry to ramp up productionto meet demand, and how long the pandemic lasts, will have a direct impact on the amount of inventory remaining in distribution channelsonce the pandemic subsides. This factor, coupled with the possibility of economic recession or runaway inflation, could have a deleteriousimpact on sales for a significant period that could negatively impact our revenues and our third-party manufacturing efficiencies. Ourability to increase market penetration is predicated upon our continued ability to sub-manufacturer at a sufficient capacity; however,there can be no guarantees that our manufacturing will not be negatively impacted by the pandemic or government responses to it. Additionally,there is a risk that government responses to thwart the spread of the virus, in the form of local or regional quarantine or shelter-in-placeorders, could require temporary curtailment of manufacturing operations of our manufacturers, or prevent the export of our products fromthe country of origin. In such cases, our inability to deliver product would negatively impact sales.

 

The global impactof COVID-19 and actions taken to reduce its spread continues to rapidly evolve and we will continue to monitor the situationand the effects on our business and operations closely. We do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business or operationsor on the global economy as a whole, particularly if the COVID-19 pandemic continues and persists for an extended period oftime. The length of time it may take for global vaccine distribution and more normal economic and operating conditions to resume remainsuncertain and the economic recovery period could continue for a prolonged period even after the health risks of the pandemic subside. Given the uncertainty, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.To the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and results of operations, it may also have the effectof heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described in this “Risk Factors” section of this Prospectus.

 

- 21 -


 

The economic conditions arising from the pandemichave resulted in an economy that is volatile and unpredictable. Some companies are experiencing reduced revenues and issues with supplychains, and in turn, as a consequence of limited cash flow, are not prepared to purchase our products. COVID-19 has led to some of ourcustomers and potential customers being stricken with the virus causing them to not be able to work for many weeks and therefore causingdelays for us in our marketing decisions. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products, and harm ourbusiness and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreakor the timing and the degree to which economic recovery will be realized post-pandemic and, consequently, its effects on our businessor results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity, at this time. We cannot anticipate the effect that the impairments causedby the COVID-19 pandemic or the degree to which the economy rebounds or the consequential inflation and supply chain shortages will havepost-pandemic will have on the 2022 results, or the effectiveness and distributions of recently announced vaccines, changes to mask mandatepolicies, and impact of other possible future variants. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of COVID-19’s impactto our business, consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and our results presented herein are not necessarilyindicative of the results to be expected for future years.

 

A terrorism attack, other geopolitical crisis,or widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the current Coronavirus outbreak, could negatively impact our operations.

 

Our operations are susceptible to global events, includingacts or threats of war or terrorism, international conflicts, political instability, Pandemics, and natural disasters. The occurrenceof any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business results and financial condition.

 

We are susceptible to a widespread outbreak of anillness or other health issue, such as the Coronavirus (also referred to herein as “Covid 19”) outbreak first reported inWuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019, resulting in millions of confirmed cases identified around the world and in countries inwhich we conduct business, including the United States. The outbreak has caused governments to implement quarantines, implement significantrestrictions on travel, closed schools, and workplaces, and implement work restrictions, all of which can impair normal business operations.Globally air travel has been significantly interrupted as has air freight, ocean freight, and even truck deliveries.

 

As a result of pandemic outbreaks, businesses havebeen shut down, supply chains have been interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable, and individuals can become ill, quarantined, or otherwiseunable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Governmental mandates have required forced shutdownsof our facilities for extended or indefinite periods and, if there is a “fourth” wave of COVID-19, may occur again. In addition,these widespread outbreaks of illness could adversely affect our workforce resulting in serious health issues and absenteeism. Pandemicoutbreaks and slow recovery could also interfere with general commercial activity related to our supply chain and customer base, whichcould have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operational results.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

 

An investment in our shares is highly speculative.

 

The shares of our common stock are highly speculativein nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested inthe common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained hereinrelating to our business and prospects. If any of the risks presented herein actually occur, our business, financial condition or operatingresults could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adverselyaffect the market.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders maybe eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuantto Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliatestockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after sixmonths subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. Anysubstantial sales of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

- 22 -


 

Our annual and quarterly results may fluctuate,which may cause substantial fluctuations in our common stock price.

 

Our annual and quarterly operating results may inthe future fluctuate significantly depending on factors including the timing of purchase orders, new product releases by us and othercompanies, gain or loss of significant customers, price discounting of our product, the timing of expenditures, product delivery requirementsand economic conditions. Revenues related to our product are required to be recognized upon satisfaction of all applicable revenue recognitioncriteria. The recognition of revenues from our product is dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, the terms of anylicense agreement and the timing of implementation of our products by our customers.

 

Any unfavorable change in these or other factors couldhave a material adverse effect on our operating results for a particular quarter or year, which may cause downward pressure on our commonstock price. We expect quarterly and annual fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never paid cash dividends and do notanticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on ourcommon shares. We currently plan to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business rather than to pay cash dividends. Paymentsof any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well asother factors deemed relevant by our Boards.

 

The Nevada Revised Statute contains provisionsthat could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in our control, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reducethe market price of our stock.

 

We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions ofthe Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). Depending on the number of residents in the state of Nevada who own our shares, we couldbe subject to the provisions of Sections 78.378 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes which, unless otherwise provided in our articlesof incorporation or by-laws, restricts the ability of an acquiring person to obtain a controlling interest of 20% or more of our votingshares. Our articles of incorporation and by-laws do not contain any provision which would currently keep the change of control restrictionsof Section 78.378 from applying to us.

 

We are subject to the provisions of Sections 78.411et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination”with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person becamean interested stockholder, unless the combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder is approvedby the corporation’s Board before the person becomes an interested stockholder. After the expiration of the three-year period, thecorporation may engage in a combination with an interested stockholder under certain circumstances, including if the combination is approvedby the Board and/or stockholders in a prescribed manner, or if specified requirements are met regarding consideration. The term “combination”includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certainexceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three yearsdid own, 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. A Nevada corporation may “opt out” from the application of NRSSection 78.411 et seq. through a provision in its articles of incorporation or by-laws. We have not “opted out” from the applicationof this section.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation exculpates ourofficers and directors from certain liability to us or our stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provisionthat no director or officer will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for damages regarding breaches of fiduciary duty. Thislimitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deterour stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to us. . The foregoing indemnification obligationscould result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers,which we may be unable to recoup. Additionally, these provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our bringing a lawsuit againstdirectors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by ourshareholders against our directors and officers, even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders.

 

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

 

- 23 -


 

Litigation may adversely affect our business,financial condition, and results of operations

 

From time to time in the normal course of its businessoperations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negativelyaffect our s operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significantand may require a diversion of resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affectcustomer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurancemay be unavailable at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or otherliability in excess of the insurance coverage for any claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,and financial condition.

 

Our bylaws limit the liability of, and provideindemnification for, our officers and directors.

 

Our bylaws, provide that we shall indemnify our officersand directors for any liability including reasonable costs of defense arising out of any act or omission of any officer or director onour behalf to the full extent allowed by the laws of the State of Nevada, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a mannerthe officer or director reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to anycriminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Thus, we may be prevented from recoveringdamages for certain alleged errors or omissions by the officers and directors for liabilities incurred in connection with their good faithacts. Such an indemnification payment might deplete our assets. Stockholders who have questions respecting the fiduciary obligations ofour officers and directors should consult with independent legal counsel.

 

It is the position of the SEC that exculpation fromand indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder is against public policyand therefore unenforceable.

 

If securities industry analysts do not publishresearch reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common stock couldbe negatively affected.

 

Any trading market for our common stock will be influencedin part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain researchcoverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market tradingvolume of our common stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgradeour securities or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of ourcommon stock could be negatively affected.

 

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommendingan investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable effortsto obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretationsof these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for atleast some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our commonstock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

  

We have identified material weaknesses in ourinternal control over financial reporting. Failure to maintain effective internal controls could cause our investors to lose confidencein us and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If our internal controls are not effective, we may be unable to accuratelyreport our financial results or prevent fraud.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, orSection 404, requires that we maintain internal control over financial reporting that meets applicable standards. We may err in the designor operation of our controls, and all internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonableassurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, there canbe no assurance that all control issues have been or will be detected.

 

In prior periodswe identified certain material weaknesses in our internal controls. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls overthe control environment. Our weaknesses related to a lack of a sufficient number of personnel with appropriate training and experiencein accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Furthermore, we have not developed and effectively communicatedto our employees the accounting policies and procedures necessary to maintain effective controls over the control environment andlack staffing in accounting and finance operations.

 

- 24 -


 

If we are unable, or are perceived as unable, to producereliable financial reports due to internal control deficiencies, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial informationand operating results, which could result in a negative market reaction and a decrease in our stock price.

 

We currently do not intend to declare dividendson our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as a result, your returns on your investment may depend solely on the appreciationof our common stock.

 

We currently do not expect to declare any dividendson our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate that all of our earnings in the foreseeable future will be usedto provide working capital, to support our operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any determination todeclare or pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board, subject to applicable laws and dependent upon a numberof factors, including our earnings, capital requirements and overall financial conditions. Accordingly, your only opportunity to achievea return on your investment in our common stock may be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares ata profit. The market price for our common stock may never exceed, and may fall below, the price that you pay for such common stock.

 

The President of our subsidiary, Chris Davenport,owns 6,075 Preferred C Shares that are convertible into 7,589,249 shares or 60.75% of our outstanding common stock shares and has theability to control corporate and stockholder matters, providing him with the ability to control or influence stockholder decisions.

 

Should the President of our subsidiary, Chris Davenport,convert his 6,075 Preferred C shares, he will own 7,589,249 common stock shares providing him with 60.75% of our outstanding shares. ChrisDavenport’s ownership of a majority of our common stock outstanding would give him control over a majority of our outstanding votingpower, enabling him to control corporate and stockholder matters, including funding employee equity incentive programs, electing directors,and determining the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

 

Should the President of our subsidiary, ChrisDavenport, convert his 6,075 Preferred C Shares into 7,589,249 shares, there will be material dilution to shareholders interests.

 

The conversion of Chris Davenport’s 6,075 PreferredC shares into 7,589,249 common stock shares will cause material dilution to shareholder interests.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE REVERSESTOCK SPLIT

 

Even if FINRA approves a reverse stock splitof our common stock at a ratio that currently achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock for listing of ourcommon stock on NASDAQ, we cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will remain high enough for such reverse splitto have the intended effect of complying with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement; if we effect a reverse stock split, we cannotassure you that we will meet NASDAQ’s minimum requirements or standards.

 

In order to be listed on NASDAQ, we must meet certainrules relating to our stock price which at current levels we do not meet and as a result we anticipate affecting a reverse stock split,at a ratio of 1.5: 1 through 10:1 to meet the minimum price requirement. Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increasein the market price of our common stock to be in compliance with the minimum price of NASDAQ, there can be no assurance that (i) the marketprice of our common stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement,or (ii) if we effect a reverse stock split, we will meet NASDAQ’s minimum requirements or standards.

 

It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’scommon stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following theeffectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split.In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operationalresults, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the NASDAQ’sminimum bid price requirement.

 

If we are unable to satisfy these requirements orstandards, we be unable to meet NASDAQ’s initial listing standards. We can provide no assurance that any such action taken by uswould allow our common stock to be listed, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our commonstock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.

Even if the reverse stock split increases themarket price of our common stock and we meet NASDAQ’s initial listing requirements, there can be no assurance that we will be ableto comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

 

In conjunction with this Offering, our common stockand Warrants have been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance. Prior to the consummation of this Offering,our common stock was quoted on OTCQB. There is no assurance that our common stock or Warrants will be listed on NASDAQ or be able to continueto comply with the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. Should our common stock be listed on NASDAQ, in order to maintain that listing,NASDAQ requires that the trading price of a company’s listed stock on NASDAQ remain above one dollar in order for such stock toremain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting fromNASDAQ, together with any related warrants listed on NASDAQ.

 

In addition, to maintain a listing on NASDAQ, we mustsatisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence andindependent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unableto satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our commonstock and Warrants and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock and Warrants when you wish to do so. In the eventof a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurancethat any such action taken by us would allow our common stock and/or warrants to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improvethe liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliancewith the listing requirements.

 

The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidityof the shares of our common stock.

 

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock maybe affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stocksplit, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reversestock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potentialfor such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares of common stock and greater difficulty affecting suchsales.

 

Following the reverse stock split, the resultingmarket price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirementsof those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

 

Although we believe that a higher market price ofour common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will resultin a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the marketprice of our common stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our commonstock may not necessarily improve.

 

As a result of the timing of the reverse stocksplit, up list to NASDAQ and pricing of this Offering, potential investors will not have an opportunity to check the actual post-splitmarket price before confirming their purchases in this Offering.

 

We plan to file an amendment to our articles of incorporation,as amended, to effect the reverse stock split following the SEC declaring the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms apart, effective and prior to closing of this Offering. Because such reverse stock split will occur following the SEC declaring such registrationstatement effective and concurrently with the pricing of this Offering, potential investors will be unable to check the actual post-splitmarket price of our common stock on NASDAQ before confirming purchases in the Offering.

 

Our reverse stock split may not result in aproportional increase in the per share price of our common stock.

 

We plan to affect a 1.5: 1 through 10:1 reverse stocksplit of our common stock subject to FINRA approval, with the primary intent of increasing the price of our common stock in order to gaincompliance with the NASDAQ bid price requirement. The effect of the reverse stock split on the market price for our common stock cannotbe accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the proportionate increase in the prices of our common stock immediatelyafter the reverse stock split from the prices for shares of our common stock immediately before the reverse stock split will be maintainedfor us to regain compliance with the NASDAQ bid price requirement or that the such market prices will be maintained for a substantialperiod of time. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a reversestock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greaterthan would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. The market price of our common stock may also be affected by other factors whichmay be unrelated to the reverse stock split or the number of shares outstanding.

 

- 26 -


 

Moreover, because some investors may view the reversestock split negatively, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock.Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization before the reversestock split.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THISOFFERING.

 

The Warrants included in the Units are speculativein nature. 

 

The Warrants included in the Units offered in thisOffering do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends,but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically,commencing on the date of issuance, holders of such Warrants may exercise their right to acquire shares of common stock and pay an exerciseprice of $______ per share (no less than 100% of the public offering price of a Unit), prior to five years from the date of issuance,after which date any such unexercised Warrants will expire and have no further value. Although the Warrants have been approved for listingon NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, there is no assurance that an active market will ever develop.

 

Provisions of the Warrants offered by this Prospectuscould discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

 

In addition to the discussion of the provisions ofour articles of incorporation, as amended, our amended by-laws, certain provisions of the Warrants included in the Units offered by thisProspectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. Such Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certaintransactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligationsunder such Warrants. These and other provisions of the Warrants included in the Units offered by this Prospectus could prevent or detera third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

 

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

 

Sales of our common stock pursuant to this Offeringcould depress the price of our common stock. The existence of these shares and shares of common stock that may be issuable upon conversionor exercise, as applicable, of Warrants and convertible common stock, commonly referred to as an “overhang”, can act as adepressant to our common stock price. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could makeour ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonableor appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number ofshares of our common stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our common stock. In addition,the shares of our common stock included in the Units and underlying Warrants sold in the Offering will be freely tradable without restrictionor further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our common stock may be sold in the publicmarket following this Offering. If there are significantly more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase,then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered common stockand sellers remain willing to sell our common stock.

 

Upon exercise of the Warrants underlying theUnits, we will be obligated to issue a substantial number of additional shares of common stock which will dilute our present shareholders.

 

We are obligated to issue additional shares of ourcommon stock in connection with exercise of outstanding Warrants in connection with this Offering. The exercise of Warrants will causeus to issue additional shares of our common stock and will dilute the percentage ownership of our shareholders.

 

An active, liquid, and orderly market for our common stock or Warrantsmay not develop.

 

Our common stock and Warrants are expected to tradeon NASDAQ as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. An active trading market for ourcommon stock or Warrants may never develop or be sustained. If an active market for our common stock or Warrants does not continue todevelop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell shares of their shares of Common Stock or Warrants without depressingthe market price and investors may not be able to sell their securities at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raisecapital by selling our securities and may impair our ability to acquire other businesses, applications, or technologies using our securitiesas consideration, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business and the market prices of your shares of common stockand Warrants.

While we are seeking to list our Common Stockand Warrants on NASDAQ, there is no assurance that either of such securities will be listed on NASDAQ.

 

While we are seeking to list our common stock andWarrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we cannot ensure that we will meet the NASDAQ requirements to obtaining a listing or whether eitherof such securities will be accepted for listing on NASDAQ.

 

Following the proposed reverse stock split,we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with NASDAQ’s listing standards.

 

Approval for the listing of our common stock and theWarrants included in the units offered hereby on NASDAQ, will require us to meet the current NASDAQ listing standards, including the minimumbid price requirement, which we met by implementing a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock prior to the closing of thisOffering. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the levelrequired for continuing compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of NASDAQ. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’scommon stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following theeffectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split.In addition, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operationalresults, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain NASDAQ’s minimumbid price requirement. If we fail to comply with the minimum bid price requirement, our securities could be delisted.

 

Holders of the Warrants will not have rightsof holders of our common stock until such Warrants are exercised.

 

Until holders of Warrants will acquire shares of ourcommon stock upon exercise of the Warrants or upon exercise of the Warrants, such holders will have no rights with respect to the sharesof our common stock underlying such securities. Upon exercise of the Warrants or exercise of the Warrants, the holders will be entitledto exercise the rights of a holder of our common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

 

Even if we meet the initial listing requirementsof the NASDAQ Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the NASDAQCapital Market, a failure of which could result in a delisting of our Common Stock.

 

The NASDAQ Capital Market requires that the tradingprice of its listed stocks remain above $1.00 in order for the stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below $1.00 for more than30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, to maintain a listing on theNASDAQ Capital Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regardingdirector independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governance requirements.If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on theprice of our Common Stock and Warrants and would impair your ability to sell or purchase your shares of our Common Stock or Warrants whenyou wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements,but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock or Warrants to become listed again, stabilizethe market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock or Warrants, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the minimum bidprice requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.

 

Since the Warrants are executory contracts,they may have no value in a bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

 

In the event a bankruptcy or reorganization proceedingis commenced by or against us, a bankruptcy court may hold that any unexercised Warrants are executory contracts that are subject to rejectionby us with the approval of the bankruptcy court. As a result, holders of the Warrants may, even if we have sufficient funds, not be entitledto receive any consideration for their Warrants or may receive an amount less than they would be entitled to if they had exercised theirWarrants prior to the commencement of any such bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

 

The Warrants may have an adverse effect on themarket price of our common stock and make it more difficult to effect a business combination.

 

We will be issuing Warrants to purchase shares ofcommon stock as part of this Offering. To the extent we issue shares of common stock to effect a future business combination, the potentialfor the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares upon exercise of the Warrants could make us a less attractive acquisitionvehicle in the eyes of a target business. Such Warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares ofcommon stock and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, the Warrants maymake it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring a target business. Additionally, the sale,or even the possibility of sale, of the shares of common stock underlying the

 

- 28 -


 

Warrants could have an adverse effect on the market pricefor our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. If and to the extent the Warrants are exercised, you may experience dilutionto your holdings.

 

The sale or issuance of our Units may cause substantial dilutionand the resale of the shares of common stock and common stock underlying the Warrants into the public market, or the perception that suchsales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

 

We are registering an aggregate of __________shares of common stock (including common stock underlying the Warrants) in the registration statement of which this Prospectus is apart. If all of the shares of common stock (including common stock underlying the Warrants) offered under this prospectus wereissued and outstanding as of ____________, 2022, such shares would represent approximately ______% of the total number of shares ofour common stock outstanding and ______% of the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates, ineach case as of ____________, 2022. Additionally, we have agreed to issue to the underwriter (or its permitted assignees) warrantsto purchase up to a total of ____________ shares of common stock (8% of the shares of common stock included in the Units, excludingthe over-allotment, if any) subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation. The Underwriter’s Warrants will be exercisableat any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four- and one-half-year period commencing 180 days from thecommencement of sale of securities in connection with this offering.

 

Although the number of shares of our commonstock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the common stock owned by our existing stockholders will represent asmaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after the closing of this Offering. Depending on market liquidity at the time,the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to the underwriter, and the resale of such shares by purchasers intothe public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resultin substantial dilution to existing stockholders and make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities inthe future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

 

You may experience immediate and substantialdilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

 

The price per share of our common stock being offeredpursuant to this prospectus may be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, ifyou purchase shares of common stock in this offering at the current market value, you may suffer immediate and substantial dilution inthe pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock. See the section entitled “Dilution” elsewhere in this prospectusfor a more detailed discussion of the dilution you may incur if you purchase shares in this offering.

 

We may use the net proceeds from this Offeringin ways with which you may disagree.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offeringfor debt payoff, advertising and website promotion, and working capital. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certaintyall of the particular uses of the proceeds from sales of __________ Units. Accordingly, we will have significant discretion in theuse of the net proceeds of sales of Units in this Offering.  It is possible that we may allocate the proceeds differently thaninvestors in this offering desire or that we will fail to maximize our return on these proceeds. We may, subsequent to this offering,modify our intended use of the proceeds to pursue strategic opportunities that may arise, such as potential acquisition opportunities.You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of the net proceeds from this Offering, and you will nothave the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Any failure toapply the proceeds from this Offering effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause a decline in the marketprice of our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Corporate History and Background

 

We were originally formed as RX Scripted, LLC on December30, 2004 as a North Carolina limited liability company and then converted to a Nevada corporation as RX Scripted, Inc. on December 5,2007. On January 7, 2010, we changed our name to MedCareers Group, Inc. MedCareers Group operated a website for nurses, nursing schoolsand nurses’ organizations to foster better communication between nurses and the nursing profession. On November 19, 2010, the Companyentered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”) with Nurses Lounge, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Nurses Lounge”)and its nine shareholders (the “Nurses Lounge Shareholders”), whereby we issued 24,000,000 restricted shares of common stockto the Nurses Lounge Shareholders in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Nurses Lounge.

 

Although 24,000,000 restricted shares were issuedin connection with the Exchange, certain of our significant shareholders agreed to cancel some of the shares of common stock they ownedso that the net effect of the Exchange was an increase to the outstanding shares of common stock by 7,175,000 shares rather than 24,000,000.Included in the shareholders receiving shares of common stock in connection with the Exchange, was Timothy Armes, founder and presidentof Nurses Lounge, Inc., who received 14,902,795 shares.

 

On November 29, 2018, we entered into a Share ExchangeAgreement whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4Less”), a privatecompany, in exchange for our issuance of nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, 6,750 Series C ConvertiblePreferred Shares, and 870 Series D Preferred Shares as shown in the following table.

 

Shareholder # of Series B Preferred # of Series C Preferred # of Series D Preferred
Christopher Davenport 17,100 6,075 675
Sergio Salzano 1,900 675 75
Timothy Armes 1,000 0 120
TOTAL 20,000 6,750 870

 

- 30 -


 

The Series C Convertible Preferred Shares have a rightto convert into our common stock in total as a class by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63on the conversion date and then multiplying that number by the percentage of Series C shares being converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing,any and all outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert at the Conversion Price on December31, 2024. As a result of this Share Exchange, the former shareholders of the private company, 4Less, became our controlling shareholders.The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein the private company,4Less is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Pursuant to the transaction, Tim Armes, our CEO, cancelled60,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 120 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. As a result of the transaction, 4Less, the privatecompany, became our wholly owned subsidiary and there was a change in our control whereby Christopher Davenport and Sergio Salzano, collectivelyhold voting rights equal to 63.37% of the total voting rights at any given time by virtue of holding 95% of the Series B Preferred Stock.In addition, Tim Armes, our CEO, still retains 1,000 Class B Preferred Shares, representing 3.30% of the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly,the total voting rights owned by Chris Davenport, Sergio Salzano, and Tim Armes are 66.67%. On December 12, 2019, The 4Less Corp. namewas changed to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and continues to operate as our wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Industry Background

 

The specialty-equipment market includes parts andaccessories that are manufactured, sold, and distributed for cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans, and other passenger vehiclesmotorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, boats. Our manufactures’ products are designed to customize or enhance the performance, handling, or appearanceof both new and used vehicles. The auto specialty equipment market is often described as “the parts you want” rather than“the parts you need.” Our business has been referred to as “Automotive E-Tailing”, which means selling automotivecomponents online. According to a published report by Market Research Future, the global automotive e-tailing market is expected to reach$55.22 Billion by the end of the forecast period in 2022 (Source: https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/automotive-e-tailing-market---2019-trends-size-share-growth-insight-competitive-analysis-leading-players-regional-and-global-industry-forecast-to-2022-2019-07-17which report is expressly not incorporated into this Prospectus).

 

Business

 

We currently operate three niche e-commerce websitesthrough which we sell auto parts that are directly listed on these websites as well as across marketplace and social media sites, includingthrough online marketplaces and social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Google. These websites are:

 

LiftKits4LESS.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus)
Bumpers4LESS.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus)
TruckBedCovers4LESS.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus)

 

We operate these websites as an e-commerce retailerand distributor of auto and truck parts, including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers,and shocks. The e-commerce auto equipment market is composed of two segments, the direct replacement referred to as the “OE”(Original Equipment) market, typically used for automobile repairs, and the after-market automobile parts market, typically for customizationof vehicles. We deal exclusively in the aftermarket.

 

On August 26, 2021, we launched a beta test version ofwhat we plan to be our flagship website, Autoparts4less.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference into this Prospectus).During this beta testing period we plan to make available and market products listed by numerous sellers with a plan to complete our presentvision for autoparts4less.com and become fully operational by May 2022. Autoparts4less.com will be distinguished from our other threewebsites in that it will operate as a streamlined automotive marketplace, as opposed to an e-commerce retailer, with hundreds ofsellers offering both aftermarket and Original Equipment Manufacturer (otherwise known as “OEM”) parts who will be solelyresponsible for shipping, refunds, and inquiries regarding parts.

 

Our proprietary web sites include order customization,live chat, install videos, directions, and installation services, in our effort to provide a quality buying experience for consumers interestedin purchasing aftermarket auto parts on the Internet today.

Other Income (Expense)

 

The following table shows our other income and expensesfor the six months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

            Change  
Other Income (Expense)   2021   2020   $   %  
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Property and Equipment   $ 20,345   $ 464     19,881   4,285%

The changes above can be explained by the reductionin convertible debt that started in the prior year’s quarter ended October 31,2020. As a result of the debt exchanges and settlements,the gain on settlement of debt was higher and there were reductions in amortization expense and due to the lower debt. Interest expenseincreased as a result of new loans in the current year’s quarter. The higher loss on derivatives in 2020 is a function of the marketfactors in the valuation of the derivative liability described in Note 10.

 

We had net loss of $4,886,380 for the nine monthsended October 31, 2021, compared to net income of $2,681,933 for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. The decrease in net income wasmainly due to the smaller gain on settlement of debt as well as the large increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended October31, 2021 as explained in the discussion above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Management believes that we will continue to incurlosses for the immediate future. Therefore, we will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positivecash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.Our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classificationof liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended October 31, 2021,we have increased revenue and are working to achieve positive cash flows from operations.

 

As of October 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $350,299,share subscription receivable of $2,301, inventory of $401,444 and $6,492,984 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumptionrate, we will need to consider additional funding sources going forward. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expensesand drive growth in revenue.

 

The successful outcome of future activities cannotbe determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended businessplan or generate positive operating results.

The decrease was due to ordersreceived and paid for at year end that were unfulfilled due to supply chain issues because of supplier back-orders as a result of theCovid-19 pandemic.  The Company at January 31, 2021 had $687,786 of deferred revenue which represents orders received before January31, 2021 but delivered after.

Other Income (Expense)

 

The following table shows our other income and expensesfor the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

            Change  
    2021   2020   $   %  
Other Income (Expense)                        
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Property and Equipment   $ 464   $ 16,295   $ (15,831 ) (97% )

Total Other Income (Expense)   $ 3,329,010   $ (2,026,582 ) $ 5,355,592   264%  

 

The results of the year ended January 31, 2021 resultedin other income of $ 3,329,010 vs other expense of 2,026,582 for the year ended January 31, 2020.  There were debt settlements andexchanges which resulted in the increase in gain on settlement of debt and lower interest expense. Fair value of derivatives was largelyaffected by the increase in the market price of our common stock during the current period as well as the significant reduction in convertibledebt.

 

We had net income of $1,187,176 for the year endedJanuary 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $3,879,846 for the year ended January 31, 2020 due mainly to the gain on debt settlement andother factors mentioned above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of January 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalentsof $277,664 of cash, $323,411 of inventory and total current liabilities of $5,059,138. We had negative working capital of $4,344,055as of January 31, 2021.

 

Net cash (used in) operations for the year ended January31, 2021 was $(859,821) compared to $(1,154,311) for the year ended January 31, 2020.

 

Net cash provided from investing activities for theyear ended January 31, 2021 was $9,750 compared to $109,080 for the year ended January 31, 2020.

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the yearended January 31, 2021 was $965,611 compared to $1,147,954 for the year ended January 31, 2020. In both years the cash provided from financingactivities was from the net proceeds of notes payable and short term debt and in 2021 additionally the proceeds from the issuance of commonshares and PPP loan.

 

As of April 30, 2021, the Company issued 1,097,250shares for $2,194,500 as part of Regulation A filing. The company received $2,099,683 in cash proceeds with the remaining $94,817 recordedas share proceeds receivable.

 

We borrowed funds and/or sold stock for working capital. These transactions are detailed in the section “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities”.

 

Currently, we don’t have sufficient cash reservesto meet its contractual obligations and its ongoing monthly expenses, which we anticipate totaling approximately $4,000,000 over the next12 months.  At present, absent additional financing, we estimate that we have sufficient cash and anticipated revenue to fully carryout our business plan for three months, after which we may need to scale back our business plan. Historically, revenues have not beensufficient to cover operating costs that would permit us to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt aboutour ability to continue as a going concern. We have been able to continue operating to date largely from loans made by its shareholders,other debt financings and sale of common stock.  We are currently looking at both short-term and more permanent financing opportunities,including debt or equity funding, bridge or short-term loans, and/or traditional bank funding, but we have not decided on any specificpath moving forward.  Until we have raised sufficient funding to pay our ongoing expenses associated with being a public company,and we have sufficient funds to support our planned operations, we can provide no assurances that it will be able to meet its short andlong-term liquidity needs, until necessary financing is secured.

 

We do not currently have any additional formal commitmentsor identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, director or significant shareholders. We can provideno assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we are not able to raise the capital necessaryto continue our business operations, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan.

 

- 41 -


 

In the future, we may be required to seek additionalcapital by selling additional debt or equity securities, selling assets, if any, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balancewhen we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilutionto our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when controlis transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expectsto be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probablethat the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with thecustomer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligationsin the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction priceto the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the companysatisfies a performance obligation

 

Because the Company’s sales agreements generallyhave an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not discloseinformation about its remaining performance obligations.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue: Channel Revenue

 

The following table shows revenue split between proprietaryand third party website revenue for the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

            Change  
    2021   2020   $   %  
Proprietary website revenue   $ 4,200,624   $ 3,246,351   $ 954,273   29%  
Third party website revenue     3,970,731     4,939,863     (969,132 ) (20% )
Total Revenue   $ 8,171,355   $ 8,186,214   $ (14,859 ) 0%  

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfiedat the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risksand rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Companyprimarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for onlineorders and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

 

Revenue is recorded net of provisions for discountsand promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discountsand promotional allowances vary the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to customers. The Companyrecognizes these discounts and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers.The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The customerpays the Company by credit card prior to delivery.

 

The Company offers a 30 day satisfaction guaranteedreturn policy however the customer must pay for the return shipment. The return must be previously authorized, cannot be either damagedor previously installed and must be in saleable condition. In the Company’s experience this amount is immaterial and therefore noprovision has been recorded on the Company’s books. Any defective merchandise falls under the manufacturer’s limited warrantyand is subject to the manufacturer’s inspection. The manufacturer has the option to repair or replace the item.

 

All sales to customers are generally final. However,the Company accepts returned product due to quality or issues relating to product description or incorrect product orders and in suchinstances the Company would replace the product or refund the customers funds The Company’s customers generally pre-pay for theproducts.

Use of Estimates

 

In order to prepare financial statements in conformitywith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affectthe amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in thefinancial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolutioncurrently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based.  The most significant estimates included inthese consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consistof cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable.  The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financialstatements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fairvalue at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (anexit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.

 

The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosureestablishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy givesthe highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and thelowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identicalinstruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similarinstruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuationswhose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarilyunobservable value drivers.

 

As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’sderivative liabilities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.  See Note 9.

 

The following table sets forth, by level within thefair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January31, 2021:

Totals   $ 213,741   $   $   $ 213,741  

 

Derivative Liability

 

The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt andaccrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liabilitydue to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount tomarket assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settledinstruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unusedshares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments. As of January 31, 2021, Warrants to purchase 0 commonshares (583 shares before the reverse split of 2/25/2020 issued in July 2014 were not classified as derivative liability while the remaining

 

Warrants outstanding were classified as derivativeliability based on the FIFO method.

 

- 43 -


 

The fair value of the derivative liability is determinedusing a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model includingour stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitiveinputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’scommon stock.  However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high, the sensitivity requiredto change the liability by 1% as of January 31, 2020 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date.  The otherinputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable resultsin a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotmentoption or of the Warrants issued in this Offering, or Underwriter’s Warrants, we estimate that the net proceeds from this Offeringwill be approximately $__________ million after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and estimated Offering expenses payable byus. Assuming the same, if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will beapproximately $__________ million. If the underwriter exercises the over-allotment option with respect to only the Warrants the additionalproceeds from such exercise will be nominal. We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering, and any proceeds from the exerciseof the Warrants included in the Units and the Underwriter’s Warrants, for the following purposes are our Board’s discretion:(a) debt payoff - $5,000,000; (b) advertising and website promotion - $10,000,000; and (c) working capital - $10,000,000.

 

Uses:   AMOUNT WITHOUT
OVERALLOTMENT
  AMOUNT WITH
OVERALLOTMENT
Debt Payoff   $   5,000,000   $                 
Advertising and Website Promotion   $ 10,000,000   $                 
Working Capital   $ 10,000,000   $                 
Total Uses       $                 

 

This is an estimated use of proceeds; the actual allocationof proceeds realized from this Offering will depend upon our operating revenues and cash position and our working capital requirementsand may change.

 

Therefore, as of the date of this Prospectus, we cannotspecify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this Offering. Accordingly,we will have discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the applicationof the proceeds of this Offering.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering,we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearinginstruments and U.S. government securities. We anticipate that the proceeds from this Offering will enable us to further grow the businessand increase cash flows from operations.

 

A $__________ increase (decrease) in the assumed publicoffering price of $______ per Unit would increase (decrease) the expected net proceeds of the Offering to us by approximately $__________million, assuming that the number of Units sold by us remains the same. We may also increase or decrease the number of Units we are offering.An increase (decrease) in the number of Units offered by us by ______________ Units would increase (decrease) the expected net proceedsof the Offering to us by approximately $__________ million assuming that the assumed public offering price remains as set forth on thecover page of this Prospectus.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The public offering price of the Units will be negotiatedbetween the underwriter and us considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overallassessment of our business.

 

The public offering price stated on the cover pageof this Prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the Units sold in this Offering, or the shares of commonstock or Warrants included in such Units. The values of such securities are subject to change as a result of market conditions and otherfactors.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our Units in this Offering, yourinterest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of common stock that is part of theUnit and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this Offering.

 

Our net tangible book value is the amount of our totaltangible assets less our total liabilities. Our net tangible book value as of October 31, 2021  was ($1.78) per share of common stock.

Prior to the closing of this offering, we expect that our Series C preferredshareholders will, as a class, convert their Series C preferred shares into shares of common stock in accordance with the conversion provisionscontained within the certificate of designation. The certificate of designation provides that, as a class, the Series C preferred shareholders,upon conversion, will own approximately 72.45% of the common stock of the Company. The table below incorporates, on a pro forma basis,the effect of the proposed conversion of the Series C preferred into common shares of the Company.

 

After giving effect to the receipt of the net proceedsfrom our sale of ______________ Units in this offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimatedoffering expenses, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of October 31, 2021, would have been approximately $______, or $______ pershare. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $______ per share to our existingstockholders, and an immediate dilution of $______ per share to new investors participating in this Offering. Dilution per share to newinvestors is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this Offering from the public offering priceper Unit paid by new investors.

 

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

Assumed public offering price per share (attributing no value to the Warrants)              
Net tangible book value per share as of October 31, 2021              
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this Offering              
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this Offering              
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to the pro forma transactions described above for the conversion of the Series C preferred shares              
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this Offering              
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors              

 

A $__________ increase (decrease) in the assumed publicoffering price of $______ per Unit (which is based on the last reported sales price of our common stock of $__________ on ______________would increase (decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $______ and the dilution per share to new investors inthis Offering by $__________ ($__________, assuming the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus,remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering expenses payable by us and assumingno exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option and no exercise of any of the Warrants included in the Units or Underwriter’sWarrants issued pursuant to this Offering. An increase (decrease) in the number of Units offered by us by ______________ Units would increase(decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $__________ ($__________), and the dilution per share to new investorsin this Offering by $__________ ($__________ assuming that the assumed public offering price remains the same as set forth on the coverpage of this Prospectus after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’over-allotment option and no exercise of any of the Warrants included in the Units or Underwriter’s Warrants issued pursuant tothis Offering.

 

The information above assumes that the underwriterdoes not exercise its over-allotment option. If the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, the as adjusted net tangiblebook value for the Offering will increase to $______ per share, representing an immediate increase to existing stockholders of $______per share and an immediate dilution of $______ per share to new investors.

 

The foregoing discussion and table do not take intoaccount further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding Warrants and options havinga per share exercise or conversion price less than the per share Offering price to the public in this Offering.

 

We may choose to raise additional capital due to marketconditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extentthat additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could resultin further dilution to our stockholders.

 

The above discussion and table are based on ______________shares of common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2021. The discussion and table do not include, as of that date: ____________

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Prior to the reverse split, our common stock was deemedto be “penny stock” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities witha price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealerswho engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealerselling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determinationregarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealeris otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individuallyor $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, the broker-dealer is required to:

 

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a pennystock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwiseexempt;

 

Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
   
Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
   
Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounterdifficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our Common Stock, which may affect the ability of Selling Stockholder or otherholders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market.These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our Common Stock even if our Common Stock becomespublicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our Common Stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our CommonStock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, we had 3,441,485 shares of commonstock outstanding and 115 record holders of our common stock.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never paid or declared any cash dividendson our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.   Anyfuture determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon a number of factors, including our resultsof operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factorsour Board deems relevant.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federalincome tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Units, common stock and Warrants purchased in thisoffering, which we refer to collectively as our securities, but is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be acomplete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. The holder of a unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income taxpurposes, as the owner of the underlying one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock that underliethe unit, as the case may be. As a result, the discussion below with respect to actual holders of common stock and Warrants should alsoapply to holders of Units (as the deemed owners of the underlying common stock and Warrants that comprise the Units). This summary isbased upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing and proposed Treasury regulationspromulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possiblyretroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those set forth below. There can be noassurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein,and we have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, an opinion of counsel or ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal incometax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership or disposition of our securities.

 

This summary does not address any alternative minimumtax considerations, any considerations regarding the tax on net investment income, or the tax considerations arising under the laws ofany state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or under any non-income tax laws, including U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws, except tothe limited extent set forth below. In addition, this summary does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particularcircumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

 

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;
   
tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
   
regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;
   
controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
   
brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;
   
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
   
persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);
   
tax-qualified retirement plans;
   
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
   
partnerships or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and other pass-through entities (and investors therein);
   
persons who hold our securities as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction or integrated investment;
   
persons who do not hold our securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; or
   
persons deemed to sell our securities under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

 

In addition, if a partnership (or entity or arrangementclassified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner generally willdepend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our securities, andpartners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

 

You are urged to consult your own tax advisorswith respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of thepurchase, ownership and disposition of our securities arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or under the laws of anystate, local, non-U.S., or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

Allocation of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit

 

No statutory, administrative or judicial authoritydirectly addresses the treatment of a unit or instruments similar to a unit for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, therefore, thattreatment is not entirely clear. The acquisition of a unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the acquisition ofone share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder ofa unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder for such unit between such one share of common stock and one warrant to purchaseone share of common stock based on their relative fair market values at the time of issuance. Under U.S. federal income tax law, eachinvestor must make his or her own determination of such value based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. Therefore, we stronglyurge each investor to consult his or her tax adviser regarding the determination of value for these purposes. The price allocated to eachshare of common stock and each warrant should be the stockholder’s tax basis in such share or warrant, as the case may be. Any dispositionof a unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disposition of the one share of common stock and one warrant topurchase one share of common stock comprising the unit, and the amount realized on the disposition should be allocated between the oneshare of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock based on their respective relative fair market values (asdetermined by each such unit holder on all the relevant facts and circumstances) at the time of disposition. The separation of the commonstock and Warrants comprising units should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

The foregoing treatment of the common stock and Warrantsand a holder’s purchase price allocation are not binding on the IRS or the courts. Because there are no authorities that directlyaddress instruments that are similar to the units, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterizationdescribed above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding thetax consequences of an investment in a unit (including alternative characterizations of a unit). The balance of this discussion assumesthat the characterization of the units described above is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Consequences to U.S. Holders

 

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal incometax consequences that will apply to a U.S. holder of our securities. For purposes of this discussion, you are a U.S. holder if, for U.S.federal income tax purposes, you are a beneficial owner of our securities, other than a partnership, that is:

 

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
   
a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
   
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
   
a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court, and which has one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made a valid election to be treated as a “United States person.”

 

Distributions

 

As described in the section titled “DividendPolicy,” we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our commonstock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends forU.S. tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income taxprinciples. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitutea return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from thesale of stock as described below under “Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock.”

 

Dividend income may be taxed to an individual U.S.holder at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that a minimum holding period and other limitations and requirements aresatisfied. Any dividends that we pay to a U.S. holder that is a corporation will qualify for a deduction allowed to U.S. corporationsin respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations equal to a portion of any dividends received, subject to generally applicablelimitations on that deduction. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the holding period and other requirementsthat must be satisfied in order to qualify for the reduced tax rate on dividends or the dividends-received deduction.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

 

A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gainor loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock. The amount of gain or loss will equal the difference betweenthe amount realized on the sale and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in such common stock. The amount realized will include the amountof any cash and the fair market value of any other property received in exchange for such common stock. Gain or loss will be long-termcapital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the common stock for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S.holders are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

 

Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Lapse or Other Taxable Disposition of aWarrant

 

Upon a sale, exchange, redemption, lapse or othertaxable disposition of a warrant, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference betweenthe amount realized (if any) on the disposition and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrant. The amount realized will includethe amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received in exchange for the warrant. The U.S. holder’s taxbasis in the warrant generally will equal the amount the holder paid for the warrant. Gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or lossif the U.S. holder has held the warrant for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders are generally taxedat preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

 

Any taxable constructive stock distributions resultingfrom a change to, or a failure to change, the exercise price of the Warrants that is treated as a distribution of common stock would betreated for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the same manner as distributions on our common stock paid in cash or other property, resultingin a taxable dividend to the recipient to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (with the recipient’s taxbasis in its common stock or Warrants, as applicable, being increased by the amount of such dividend), and with any excess treated asa return of capital or as capital gain. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding whether any taxable constructivestock dividend would be eligible for tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains, or the dividends-received deduction described belowunder “Consequences to U.S. Holders—Constructive Distributions,” as the requisite applicable holding period requirementsmight not be considered to be satisfied.

 

Exercise of a Warrant

 

The exercise of a warrant for shares of common stockgenerally will not be a taxable event for the exercising U.S. holder, except with respect to cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractionalshare. A U.S. holder will have a tax basis in the shares of common stock received on exercise of a warrant equal to the sum of the U.S.holder’s tax basis in the warrant surrendered, reduced by any portion of the basis allocable to a fractional share, plus the exerciseprice of the warrant. A U.S. holder generally will have a holding period in shares of common stock acquired on exercise of a warrant thatcommences on the date of exercise of the warrant.

 

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

 

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal incometax consequences that will apply to a non-U.S. holder of our securities. A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of oursecurities (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that,for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a U.S. holder.

 

Distributions

 

Subject to the discussion below regarding effectivelyconnected income, any dividend, including any taxable constructive stock dividend resulting from certain adjustments, or failure to makeadjustments, to the exercise price of a warrant (as described above under “Consequences to U.S. Holders—Constructive Distributions”),paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividendor such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holdermust provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying qualification for thereduced rate. These forms must be updated periodically. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuantto an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.If a non-U.S. holder holds our securities through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder’s behalf,the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which then may be required to provide certificationto us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectivelyconnected with its conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanentestablishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) are generally exempt from such withholding tax ifthe non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification and disclosure requirements. In order to obtain this exemption, the non-U.S. holdermust provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connecteddividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. holders,net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, dividends received by a corporate non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected withits conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specifiedby an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties thatmay provide for different rules.

the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an  applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S . holder in the United States);
   
the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or
   
shares of our common stock or our Warrants, as applicable, constitute U.S. real property interests by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation” (a USRPHC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the  shorter of the five-year period preceding the non-U.S. holder’s disposition of, or the non- U.S. holder’s holding period for, our common stock or Warrants, as applicable.

 

We believe that we are not currently and will notbecome a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determinationof whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other businessassets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as ourcommon stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such common stock will be treated as U.S. real property interestsonly if the non-U.S. holder actually or constructively hold more than five percent of such regularly traded common stock at any time duringthe shorter of the five-year period preceding the non-U.S. holder’s disposition of, or the non-U.S. holder’s holding periodfor, our common stock. In addition, provided that our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, a warrantwill not be treated as a U.S. real property interest with respect to a non-U.S. holder if such holder did not own, actually or constructively,Warrants whose total fair market value on the date they were acquired (and on the date or dates any additional Warrants were acquired)exceeded the fair market value on that date (and on the date or dates any additional Warrants were acquired) of 5% of all our common stock.

 

If the non-U.S. holder is described in the first bulletabove, it will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition under regular graduatedU.S. federal income tax rates, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profitstax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual non-U.S. holder describedin the second bullet above will be required to pay a flat 30% tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) onthe gain derived from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses for theyear (provided the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses). Non-U.S. holders shouldconsult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Federal Estate Tax

 

Common stock or Warrants beneficially owned by anindividual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of theirdeath will generally be includable in the decedent’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes. Such shares, therefore,may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS theamount of dividends paid to you, your name and address and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you. Pursuantto applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country ofresidence.

 

Payments of dividends on or of proceeds from the dispositionof our securities made to you may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless you establishan exemption, for example, by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicableIRS Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding, and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agenthas actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a U.S. person.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather,the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholdingresults in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required informationis furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

 

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our securitiespaid to a “foreign financial institution” (as specially defined under these rules), unless such institution enters into anagreement with the U.S. government to, among other things, withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authoritiessubstantial information regarding the U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of suchinstitution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. FATCAalso generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition ofour securities paid to a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specially defined for purposes of these rules) unless such entityprovides the withholding agent with a certification identifying certain substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifiesthat there are none or otherwise establishes an exemption. The withholding provisions under FATCA generally apply to dividends paid byus, and under current transitional rules are expected to apply with respect to the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition ofour securities on or after January 1, 2020. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits ofsuch taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements describedin this paragraph. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on theirinvestment in our securities.

 

Each prospective investor should consult its owntax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing ofour securities, including the consequences of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

Our common stock is presently quoted on the OTCQBunder the symbol “FLES.” We intend to apply to list our common stock and Warrants offered in the offering on the Nasdaq CapitalMarket under the symbols “FLES” and “FLESW”, respectively.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

 

In connection with this offering the underwriter mayengage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation Munder the Exchange Act:

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
   
Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriter are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.
   
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution  has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriter sells more securities than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.
   
Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when securities originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate coveringtransactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retardinga decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of our shares of common stock may be higher than the price thatmight otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representationor prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our sharesof common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactionsor that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATIONFOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada RevisedStatutes authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s Board to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficientlybroad to permit indemnification, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, under certain circumstances for liabilities arising underthe Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, the registrant’s Bylaws provide that the registrant has the authority to indemnifythe registrant’s directors and officers and may indemnify the registrant’s employees and agents (other than officers and directors)against liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. The registrant is also empowered under the registrant’s Bylawsto purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom the registrant is required or permitted to indemnify.

 

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

Timothy Armes: Mr. Armes has servedas our Chairman/Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer/Secretary/Treasurer/ of The 4Less Group (formerly MedCareers Group, Inc.)since August 2011. From February 2011 to August 2011, Mr. Armes served as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company.  Since August2011, Mr. Armes has served as the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. In 1992 Mr. Armeslaunched one of the first online job bulletin boards which eventually grew into jobs.com. As CEO of Jobs.com he raised over 100 milliondollars and grew it into one of the top employment web sites before leaving the company in May of 2000. Mr. Armes began his career asan auditor for Ernst and Young and then as a real estate workout specialist with different firms in the mid 1980’s. Mr. Armes obtaineda Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting from the University of Texas in 1980 and passed the Certified Public Accountantexam.

 

Director Qualifications:

 

We believe that Mr. Armes is well qualified to serveas a Director of the Company because of his significant experience working with and building Nurses Lounge (which since November 2010has been our wholly-owned operating subsidiary); his prior experience growing Jobs.com, and his financial and accounting background.

 

Christopher Davenport: Chris Davenporthas served as President of our wholly owned subsidiary, Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., since October 2013.

These contracts covered the lives of several hundred thousand employees on the Las Vegas strip. Due to the nature of themobile facilities, Mr. Davenport implemented several new technologies at the time such as: filmless radiography, virtual patient chartsand VPN networks to make for seamless quality health care. Soon after, Mr. Davenport expanded his mobile dental company to the militarywhere he won several multiyear, multi-million dollars medical/dental National Guard Medical Readiness contracts. Mr. Davenport has a provenhistory of implementing innovative technologies. In April 2014, Mr. Davenport filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the UnitedStates Bankruptcy Court of Nevada, which bankruptcy was discharged on September 2, 2014.

 

Corporate Governance

In lieu of an Audit Committee, our Board (currentlyconsisting solely of Timothy Armes), is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors,reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of our financial statements and other services provided by our independentpublic accountants. The Board reviews our internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

Committees of the Board

 

We have not formed an Audit Committee, CompensationCommittee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this registration statement. Our Board currently performsthe principal functions of an Audit Committee. .

 

The Company plans to appoint three additional independentdirectors to serve on our Board and as chairpersons of the following committees, which we intend to form [prior to][after] this offering:

 

Audit Committee
Compensation Committee
Nominating Committee

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board has determined that we do not have an independentboard member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor dowe have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under theExchange Act.

 

We believe that our sole director is capable of analyzingand evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The sole directordoes not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the functions of an audit committeecan be adequately performed by the sole director. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify asan “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances giventhe stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To our knowledge, except as set forth in the biography of Mr. Davenport,there have been no material legal proceedings that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to anevaluation of the ability of our director or executive officers.

 

Board Meetings and Annual Meeting

 

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, ourBoard (currently consisting solely of Timothy Armes) did not meet or hold any formal meetings.  We did not hold an annual meetingin the year ended January 31, 2021.  In the absence of formal board meetings, the Board conducted all of its business and approvedall corporate actions during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 by the unanimous written consent of its sole director.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not yet adopted a formal Code of Ethics. Weare in the process of formulating a code of ethics that is in conformity with Nasdaq requirements.

 

Shareholder Proposals

 

We do have any defined policy or procedural requirementsfor shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The sole director believes that, given the stage of our development,a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level.We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board and we do not have any specific processor procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, andmake recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Boardmay do so by directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive Officer, at the address appearing on the first page of thisreport.

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related PartyTransactions

 

We have not yet adopted a related party transactionpolicy, however, we are in the process of adopting such policy that is in conformity with NASDAQ requirements.

 

In the past, given our small size and limited financialresources, we had not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those describedabove, with our executive officers, director(s) and significant stockholders. However, we make it a practice of having our Board (currentlyconsisting solely of Mr. Armes) approve and ratify all related party transactions. In connection with such approval and ratification,our Board takes into account several factors, including their fiduciary duties to us; the relationships of the related parties to us;the material facts underlying each transaction; the anticipated benefits to us and related costs associated with such benefits; whethercomparable products or services are available; and the terms we could receive from an unrelated third party.

 

Until we adopt a related party transaction policy,the Board will continue to approve any related party transaction based on the criteria set forth above.

 

Director Independence

 

We currently only have one director, Timothy Armes,who is not independent.  We plan to appoint 3 independent directors in connection with our listing application to Nasdaq.

THE 4LESS GROUP, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business:

 

Nature of Business The 4LESS Group,Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company, under thename MedCareers Group, Inc. (“MCGI”) formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizationsdesigned for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.

 

On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction(the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock,(ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. TheSeries C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstandingshares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018.  As a result of the ShareExchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted foras a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financialreporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the periodprior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reversemerger except otherwise noted.

 

4LESS was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad,LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017.On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status. The Corporation operates asan e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company. As a result of the share exchange, the 4LESS Group, Inc. is now a holding company operatingthrough 4LESS and offers products including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, andshocks. On December 30, 2019 4LESS changed its name to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc.

 

Significant Accounting Policies:

 

The Company’s management selects accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accountingprinciples requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally acceptedaccounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The Company prepares its financial statements on theaccrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidatedfinancial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and ExchangeCommission (“SEC”) for interim unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the informationand footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidatedfinancial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance withGAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. The unaudited consolidated financial statementsreflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statementof the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Theseunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statementsof the Company for the year ended January 31, 2021 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filedon May 14, 2021.

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

The condensed financial statements include the accountsof The 4LESS Group, Inc. as well as The Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., and JBJ Wholesale LLC. All significant inter-company transactions havebeen eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

 

F-7


 

Use of Estimates:

 

In order to prepare financial statements in conformitywith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affectthe amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in thefinancial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolutioncurrently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based.  The most significant estimates included inthese consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities, options and warrants.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidatedfinancial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications havenot changed the results of operations of prior periods.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instrumentswith a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit InsuranceCorporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or netrealizable value. Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods.

 

Concentrations

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2021 the Companypurchased approximately 58% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of October 31, 2021,the net amount due to the vendors included in accounts payable was $440,977. For the nine months ended October 31, 2020 the Company purchasedapproximately 55% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of October 31, 2020, the netamount due to those vendors included in accounts payable was $393,729. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that couldbe substituted should a supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.

 

Leases

 

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic842), as amended, as of February 1, 2019, using the full retrospective approach. The full retrospective approach provides a methodfor recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permittedunder the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.

 

In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedientto determine the lease term for existing leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of leaseterms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. In our application of hindsight, we evaluatedthe performance of the leased stores and the associated markets in relation to our overall real estate strategies, which resulted in thedetermination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset andliability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financialstatements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in thefinancial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferredtax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilitiesarise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax returnprior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxableincome in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets andliabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

F-8


 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The Company’s financial instruments consistof cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statementsto approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value ateach period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.

 

The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosureestablishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy givesthe highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and thelowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identicalinstruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similarinstruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuationswhose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarilyunobservable value drivers.

 

The following table sets forth, by level within thefair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of October31, 2021:

 

    October 31,

Derivative Liabilities – embedded redemption feature   $ 391,868   $   $   $ 391,868  
Totals   $ 391,868   $   $   $ 391,868  

 

 

Related Party Transactions:

 

The Company has a verbal policy that includes proceduresintended to ensure compliance with the related party provisions in common practice for public companies. For purposes of the policy, a“related party transaction” is a transaction in which the Company or any one of its subsidiaries participates and in whicha related party has a direct or indirect material interest, other than ordinary course, arms-length transactions of less than 1% of therevenue of the counterparty. Any transaction exceeding the 1% threshold, and any transaction involving consulting, financial advisory,legal or accounting services that could impair a director’s independence, must be approved by the CEO. Any related party transactionin which an executive officer or a Director has a personal interest, or which could present a possible conflict under the Guide to EthicalConduct, must be approved by Board of Directors, following appropriate disclosure of all material aspects of the transaction.

 

Derivative Liability

 

The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt andaccrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liabilitydue to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount tomarket assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settledinstruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unusedshares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments.

 

F-9


 

The fair value of the derivative liability is determinedusing a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model includingour stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitiveinputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’scommon stock.  However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 10), the sensitivityrequired to change the liability by 1% as of October 31, 2021 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date.  Theother inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variableresults in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when controlis transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expectsto be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probablethat the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with thecustomer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligationsin the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction priceto the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the companysatisfies a performance obligation

 

Because the Company’s sales agreements generallyhave an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not discloseinformation about its remaining performance obligations.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue: Channel Revenue

 

The following table shows revenue split between proprietaryand third party website revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

            Change  
    2021   2020   $   %  
Proprietary website revenue   $ 6,339,478     3,704,215   $ 2,635,263   71%  
Third party website revenue     3,090,041     3,557,891     (467,850 ) (13% )
Total Revenue   $ 9,429,519   $ 7,262,106   $ 2,167,413   30%  

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfiedat the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risksand rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Companyprimarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for onlineorders, and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock options at fair value.The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and providesfor expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share:

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”)is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using thetreasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock pricefor the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. DilutedEPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

F-10


 

Basic loss per common share is computed based on theweighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic lossper share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with thepotential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a completeconversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed bycomparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which thecarrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The policy is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginningafter December 15, 2019. We adopted on February 1, 2020 and the adoption had no impact.

 

Fair Value Measurement: In 2018, the FASB issuedamended guidance to remove, modify and add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscalyears, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removedor modified disclosure requirements. Transition is on a prospective basis for the new and modified disclosures, and on a retrospectivebasis for disclosures that have been eliminated. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on ourconsolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplificationinitiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing costand complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees withthat of employees. The updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations orcash flows.

 

In addition to the above, the Company has reviewedall other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncementswill have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

There were various other accounting standards andinterpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cashflows.

 

 

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL POSITION

 

The consolidated financial statements have been preparedon a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.The Company has an accumulated deficit of $25,268,357 as of October 31, 2021 and has a working capital deficit at October 31, 2021 of$5,686,673. As of October 31, 2021, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents of $350,299 and approximately $1,836,000 of short-termdebt in default. The short-term debt agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this pointhave pursued their legal remedies. Our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continueas a going concern.

 

Management’s plan is to raise additional fundsin the form of debt or equity in order to (a) grow the business through building up brand awareness and developing and launching a potentiallymuch larger auto parts e-commerce web site, autoparts4less.com while (b) continuing to fund losses until such time as revenues can sustainthe Company. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in being able to continue to obtain additional funding.The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY

 

The Company capitalizes all property purchases over$1,000 and depreciates the assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 3 years for computers and 7 years for all otherassets. Property consists of the following at October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021:

Sub-total     343,806     168,850  
Less: Accumulated depreciation     (109,468 )   (88,823 )
Total Property   $ 234,338   $ 80,027  

 

F-11


 

Additions to fixed assets for the nine months endedOctober 31, 2021 and were $186,327 with $35,000 paid in cash and $151,327 financed through vehicle loans for vehicles and an additional$8,628 acquired in equipment. Additions to fixed assets were nil for the nine months ended October 31, 2020.

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2021, vehicleshaving a cost of $20,000 and a net book value of $4,715 was disposed of. Proceeds received of $25,060 and a gain on sale of property andequipment of $20,345 were recorded.

 

Office equipment having a cost of $9,750 and a netbook value of $9,286 was disposed of during the nine months ended October 31, 2020. Proceeds received of $9,750 and a gain on sale ofproperty and equipment of $464 were recorded.

 

Depreciation expense was $12,479 and $6,299 for thethree months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense was $35,930 and $18,897 for thenine months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively.

 

NOTE 4 – LEASES

 

We lease certain warehouses and office space. Leaseswith an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-linebasis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease andnon-lease components.

 

Most leases include one or more options to renew,with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 17 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion.The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of titleor purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

 

Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at October 31, 2021and January 31, 2021.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

As of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the Companyhad derivative liabilities of $391,868 and $213,741, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Companyrecorded losses of $76,444 and $939,873, respectively, from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. During thenine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded losses of $88,551 and $507,764, respectively, from the change in thefair value of derivative liabilities. Any liabilities resulting from the warrants outstanding are immaterial.

 

The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3input for valuing financial instruments.

 

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilitiesmeasured at fair value for the three months ended October 31, 2021. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine thefair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilitieswithin the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interestrates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs.

 

    Level 3  
    Derivatives  
Balance, January 31, 2021   $ 213,741  
Settlement due to Repayment of Debt     (151,163 )
Changes due to Issuance of New Convertible Notes     316,883  
Changes due to Conversion of Notes Payable     (76,144 )
Mark to Market Change in Derivatives     88,551  
Balance, October 31, 2021   $ 391,868  

 

The derivatives arise from convertible debt wherethe debt is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices which are linked to the trading and/or bid prices of the Company’scommon stock as traded on the OTC market.

 

As the price of the common stock varies it triggersa gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of The 4 Less Group, Inc.



Opinion on the Financial Statements

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Companywill continue as a going concern. As more fully explained in Note 2, which includes management’s plans in regards to this uncertainty,the Company has a negative working capital of $4.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $20.4 million and stockholders’ deficitof $6.1 million as of and for the year ended January 31, 2021, and therefore there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Companyto continue as a going concern.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole,and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on theaccounts or disclosures to which they relate.


Critical Audit Matter Description – Embedded Conversion Feature


The Company has numerous notes payable from prior years which were settled or converted, andseveral new notes in the current year with conversions rates that are determined by the closing bid price on the day preceding the conversiondate.  This and other factors require the embedded conversion feature to be bifurcated and evaluated at each reporting period.  Calculationsand accounting for the notes payable and embedded conversion features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequentrecognition of the debt and related conversions features, use of a valuation model, and determination of the appropriate inputs used inthe selected valuation model.


Critical Audit Matter Determination


The embedded conversion features and resulting derivative liability is a highly complex areaof accounting with significant impact on the liabilities, additional paid in capital and statement of operations of the Company.  Ittakes a high degree of training to understand and recognize the accounting implications of the conversion features and to understand theassumptions and impact of the specific assumptions on the valuation model used in the calculation of the derivative liability.


Critical Audit Matter Audit Procedures


Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for the convertiblenote payables with embedded derivatives, warrants issued with the debt, accrued interest and the related derivative liability were asfollows:


 

-

We read the various instruments, identified the embedded conversion feature, confirmed the amount of the outstanding debt, and recalculated the accrued interest.  

 

 

 

 

-

We assessed the credentials and reputation of the outside firm retained by the Company who performed the calculation of the derivative liabilities.

 

 

 

 

-

We reviewed the assumptions used to calculate the derivative liabilities at the balance sheet date and various conversion and settlement dates and the related accounting entries.

 

 

 

 

-

We performed independent calculations on a test basis of specific derivatives to evaluate the model used in calculating the derivatives at various measurement dates.


Critical Audit Matter Relevant Financial Statement Disclosures


 

-

We read the Company’s disclosures related to the derivative liabilities and changes during the year as a result of mark to market, conversion of debt and settlement of debt activity to ensure the changes were properly accounted for and fully disclosed in the financial statements.


F-24

Critical Audit Matter Determination


The following items were considered in determining that a going concern was a critical auditmatter.


 

-

Significant losses and negative working capital and lack of liquidity

 

 

 

 

-

We also took into consideration the Company’s need to raise additional debt and equity financing over the next twelve months


Critical Audit Matter Audit Procedures

We noted subsequent events and proceeds from the ongoing Tier II Regulation A offering proceedsreceived as of the date of our opinion


We compared subsequent funding from the Tier II Regulation A offering to the estimated cashflows required to continue operations for the year subsequent to the date of our report.


Critical Audit Matter Relevant Financial Statement Disclosures

THE 4LESS GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31, 2021 and 2020


Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business The 4LESS Group, Inc., (the “Company”),was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company, under the name MedCareers Group, Inc. (“MCGI”) formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nursesand the nursing profession.


On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”),pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”),in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty(6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a rightto convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on theconversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018.  As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESSbecame the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effectedby a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price,and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the reverse merger were restated to reflectthe recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.


4LESS was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad, LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limitedliability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its nameto The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status. The Corporation operates as an e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company.As a result of the share exchange, the Company is now a holding company operating through 4LESS and offers products including exhaustsystems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, and shocks. On December 30, 2019 4LESS changed its nameto Auto Parts 4Less, Inc.


Significant Accounting Policies


The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and adopts methods for their application.  The application of accounting principles requiresthe estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principleswhich have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.


Basis of Presentation


The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformitywith U.S. GAAP.


Principles of Consolidation


The financial statements include the accounts of The 4LESS Group, Inc. as well as Auto Parts4Less, Inc. (formerly The 4LESS Corp.) and JBJ Wholesale LLC.  All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.  Allamounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.


Use of Estimates


In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financialstatements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolutionof issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management andon which the financial statements are based.  The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statementsare those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.


Reclassifications


Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periodshave been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operationsof prior periods.


F-30


 

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or lessto be cash equivalents.  At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)insurance limits.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value.


Inventory Valuation


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are valuedon a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods.


Concentrations


Cost of Goods Sold


For the year ended January 31, 2021 the Company purchased approximately 57% of its inventoryand items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of January 31, 2021, the net amount due to the vendors includedin accounts payable was $599,072.  For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company purchased approximately 59% of its inventoryand items available for sale from third parties from three third-party vendors. As of January 31, 2020, the net amount due to these vendorsincluded in accounts payable was $369,592. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should thesupplier become unavailable or non-competitive.


Leases


We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of February 1,2019, using the full retrospective approach. The full retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoptionand in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance withinthe new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.


In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term forexisting leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leasesand the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. In our application of hindsight, we evaluated the performance of the leasedstores and the associated markets in relation to our overall real estate strategies, which resulted in the determination that most renewaloptions would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.


Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets andlease liabilities of $454,087 and $454,087 respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidatednet earnings, retained earnings and had no impact on cash flows


Income Taxes


Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets andliabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than whenrecognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returnsor when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operatinglosses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognizedin the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which thosetemporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax ratesis recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law.ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assetsand liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The Company’sgross deferred tax assets were revalued based on the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. A corresponding offsethas been made to the valuation allowance, and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to the Company’snet operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects onthe Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, but the Companydoes not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


F-31


 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances andnotes payable.  The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair valuedue to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value isdefined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transactionbetween market participants at the reporting date.


The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchythat prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjustedquoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs(Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observableor whose significant value drivers are observable.


Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.


As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s derivative liabilities were measuredat fair value using Level 3 inputs.  See Note 10.


Thefollowing table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accountedfor at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020:

Related Party Transactions


The Company has a verbal policy that includes procedures intended to ensure compliance withthe related party provisions in common practice for public companies. For purposes of the policy, a “related party transaction”is a transaction in which the Company or any one of its subsidiaries participates and in which a related party has a direct or indirectmaterial interest, other than ordinary course, arms-length transactions of less than 1% of the revenue of the counterparty. Any transactionexceeding the 1% threshold, and any transaction involving consulting, financial advisory, legal or accounting services that could impaira director’s independence, must be approved by the CEO. Any related party transaction in which an executive officer or a Directorhas a personal interest, or which could present a possible conflict under the Guide to Ethical Conduct, must be approved by the Board of Directors,following appropriate disclosure of all material aspects of the transaction.

Derivative Liability


The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy forvaluing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into commonstock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. Asthe price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted atthe balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issuedinstruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used tosatisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments.


The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measuredon the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stockprice volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are forexpected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  However,because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 10), the sensitivity required to change theliability by 1% as of January 31, 2021 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date.  The other inputs, suchas risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantlyless than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goodsor services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for thosegoods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the considerationit is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achievethat core principle:


Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation


Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one yearor less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performanceobligations.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when productsare received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore,the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed considerationfor sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders and are included in revenue. Salestax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.


Revenue is recorded net of provisions for discounts and promotion allowances, which are typicallyagreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts and promotional allowances vary the considerationthe Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to customers. The Company recognizes these discounts and promotional allowancesin the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amountthat will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The customer pays the Company by credit card prior to delivery.

The Company offers a 30 day satisfaction guaranteed return policy however the customer mustpay for the return shipment. The return must be previously authorized, cannot be either damaged or previously installed and must be insaleable condition. In the Company’s experience this amount is immaterial and therefore no provision has been recorded on the Company’sbooks. Any defective merchandise falls under the manufacturer’s limited warranty and is subject to the manufacturer’s inspection.The manufacturer has the option to repair or replace the item.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock options at fair value. The Company estimates the fair valueof each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the serviceperiod, if any, of the stock option.


Earnings (Loss) per Common Share


Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss)available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. DilutedEPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertiblepreferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine thenumber of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potentialshares if their effect is anti-dilutive.


Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstandingduring the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average numberof shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertibledebt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertibleinstruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reportingunit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’sfair value. The policy is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted on February1, 2020 and the adoption had no impact.


Fair Value Measurement: In 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to remove, modifyand add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods withinthose fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removed or modified disclosure requirements.Transition is on a prospective basis for the new and modified disclosures, and on a retrospective basis for disclosures that have beeneliminated. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain orimprove the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financialreporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The updatedguidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In addition to the above, the Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yeteffective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impacton its financial condition or the results of its operations.


There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none ofwhich are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL POSITION


The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplatesthe realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,381,977as of January 31, 2021 and has a working capital deficit at January 31, 2021 of $4,344,055. As of January 31, 2021, the Company only hadcash and cash equivalents of $277,664 and approximately $151,000 of short-term debt in default. The short-term debt agreements providelegal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. While the Company hascontinued to grow its revenues, at this time, the three months ended July 31, 2020 was only the first quarter the Company was able toachieve profitability from operations prior to interest and other expenses.  While the Company believes it will continue to buildon the results achieved in that quarter, our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern.


Management’s plan is to raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity in orderto continue to fund losses until such time as revenues can sustain the Company. However, there is no assurance that management will besuccessful in being able to continue to obtain additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that mightresult from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – LEASES


We lease certain warehouses, vehicles and office space. Leases with an initial term of 12months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the leaseterm.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the leaseterm from one to 17 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets andleasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certainof exercise.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES


The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires theuse of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability)or benefit (deferred tax asset).  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amountexpected to be realized.


The income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following for the fiscal year ended January31, 2021 and 2020:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carryingamount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.


The following is a reconciliation of the expected statutory federal income tax provision tothe actual income tax benefit for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021(in thousands):

The Company has incurred losses since inception, therefore, the Company has no federaltax liability.  Additionally there are limitations imposed by certain transactions which are deemed to be ownership changeswhich occurred in the Company on November 29, 2018.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has beenfully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carryforward was approximately $2,375,000at January 31, 2021,  $2,375,000million at January 31, 2020 that is available for carryforward for federal income tax purposes and begin to expire in 2039.


Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards, there is uncertainty as to utilization priorto their expiration.  Accordingly, the future income tax asset amounts have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance.


The Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at January31, 2021 and 2020. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the netdeferred tax assets will not be realized. Since the Company cannot be assured of realizing the net deferred tax asset, a full valuationallowance has been provided.


The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at January 31, 2021 and 2020 that wouldaffect its effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over thenext twelve months. Because the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to US federal and state incometax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is available. If and when applicable, the Company willrecognize interest and penalties as part of income tax expense.


During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized no amountsrelated to tax interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and variousstate jurisdictions. The Company currently has no years under examination by any jurisdiction.


On November 29, 2018, the Company consummated a share exchange agreement whereby there wasa change of control and any net operating losses up to the date of the transaction were forfeited.


The Company’s tax returns for the years ended January 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 are openfor examination under Federal statute of limitations.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 145 of the Nevada General Corporation Lawpermits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments,fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reasonof the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner thathe or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal actionor proceeding, if he or she had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, one brought by or on behalfof the corporation), indemnification may be provided only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer inconnection with the defense or settlement of such an action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or shereasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be providedif such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the actionor suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudicationof liability.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provisionthat no director or officer will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for damages regarding breaches of fiduciary duty. Thislimitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deterour stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arisingunder the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions,or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this indemnification is against publicpolicy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
