PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Outdoor Specialty Products, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) was originally incorporated in the state of Utah on January 31, 2014, and changed its domicile to the state of Nevada on February 24, 2021. The Company is and has since its inception been engaged in the business of developing, selling, and marketing products in niche markets within the specialty outdoor products marketplace. We introduced our proprietary “Reel Guard” product in 2014 and continue to offer it to customers. We intend to commence manufacturing, marketing, and selling our new SLINKOR product in the near future, pursuant to a license agreement entered into with the inventor in May 2021. We have no subsidiaries.
The Reel Guard
The Reel Guard is designed to protect fishing reels from scratching, scuffing, dents, and other damage due to dropping, resting on gravel while servicing the line, being transported with other fishing and outdoor equipment, and general wear and tear. To date, the primary application for the Reel Guard has been fly fishing reels, but we believe the Reel Guard may also be suitable for use with some deep-sea fishing reels. The Reel Guard consists of a thin, rubberized material that is attached to the outer edges of a fishing reel using special adhesive strips that hold the material in place but provide for easy removal with no damage to the reel. The Reel Guard is designed for reels with up to a 4.25-inch diameter that have square to slightly rounded edges, and the custom installation procedure makes the Reel Guard suitable for a variety of different reels. The Reel Guard was invented by Kirk Blosch, the Company’s founder and president, in 2014 to fill a need that he believed was not being met by existing products. We filed for and obtained a provisional patent for the Reel Guard in 2014 under the name “Reel Bumper Guard” and U.S. Patent No. 9,872,485 for the device was issued on January 23, 2018. We recently paid the first (fourth year) maintenance fee for the Reel Guard patent in the amount of $985 to prevent the patent from lapsing. The next maintenance fee will be due on or before July 23, 2025.
The SLINKOR
We entered into a License and Royalty Agreement (the “License Agreement”), dated as of May 4, 2021, with Stephen Smith (the “Licensor”), for another fishing product referred to as the “SLINKOR.” The SLINKOR is a slow sinking fishing sinker comprised of a smooth, egg-shaped piece of pre-molded foam with lead weights compressed into each end using a guide wire that aligns the weights and allows a fishing line to be threaded through the product. The buoyancy of the foam coupled with the calibrated weight of the lead and the movement of the water causes the SLINKOR to sink slowly to the bottom of a lake or river allowing the fisherman to control the desired depth for the bait. The SLINKOR is designed for use with flies, spinners, flatfish, and other types of bait and the weight of the SLINKOR permits the fisherman to make longer casts. The smooth egg shape of the SLINKOR is designed to let it slide along the bottom of the lake or river while resting on top of moss or bouncing over rocks and greatly reducing snags. The device permits a fisherman to run his line through the SLINKOR, attach a swivel, and run 18 to 30 inches of leader from the swivel to the bait based on the current water conditions, the desired depth, and the presence or absence of moss, rocks, and other obstacles. The SLINKOR will be available in two sizes; the large SLINKOR is 2 inches long and 1 ¼ inches wide and the small SLINKOR is 1 ¼ inches long by 1 ¼ inches wide.
The License Agreement generally grants us the non-exclusive, world-wide right to use and apply the SLINKOR technology and any intellectual property rights thereto and to make, have made, use, lease, sell, market, or otherwise dispose of the SLINKOR in all markets throughout the world, and the exclusive right to market, sell or otherwise dispose of the SLINKOR in e-commerce markets throughout the world. The License Agreement reserves to the Licensor the non-exclusive right to continue to manufacture and sell the SLINKOR in stores, at trade shows, and in other brick and mortar physical locations and to purchase completed SLINKOR products from us (to the extent available) at our cost plus 10%. In consideration for the rights granted under the License Agreement, we paid the Licensor a one-time license fee in the amount of $500 and agreed to pay the Licensor the following royalties based on our net revenue from sales of the SLINKOR: (i) 20% of net revenue from product sales up to $1 Million, (ii) 15% of net revenue from product sales between $1 Million and $3 Million, and (iii) 10% of net revenue from product sales in excess of $3 Million. This summary description of the License Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the License Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.

Manufacturing
We own our custom injection mold for the Reel Guard, and we contract with a third party to manufacture the Reel Guard in minimum lots of 1,000 on an as needed basis. The adhesive strips used to attach the Reel Guard to the reel are manufactured by a national adhesives manufacturing company and custom ordered in pre-cut lengths from a local distributor in minimum lots of 1,000. We contract with another third party to print the Reel Guard product information card and package the Reel Guard product in sale-ready packages. Our Reel Guard inventory consists of both the raw material adhesive strips and the finished, packaged product units. We had on hand $2,106 and $2,154 in finished goods and $2,596 and $2,596 in raw materials as of September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively
We intend to manufacture the SLINKOR at the residence of our president or in a small warehouse space that will be leased from a third party subject to availability and acceptable rental rates. We will acquire raw materials consisting of the egg-shaped foam pieces and lead weights and will use a custom hand press and a guide wire to compress the lead weights onto each end of the SLINKOR. We plan to use our existing printing and packaging contractor to print the SLINKOR product information and package the SLINKOR in sale-ready packages. We intend to manufacture an initial run of 1,000 SLINKOR units and to manufacture additional quantities as needed to meet demand.
We maintain an inventory of products which we believe is sufficient to meet demand. If we should underestimate sales and fail to timely manufacture additional quantities of our products, we could face delays in providing our products to our customers which could have a negative effect on our reputation and result in a decline in our product sales. If we should overestimate sales, we will have invested our capital in products that remain in inventory, which will have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations. No assurances can be given that we will be able to accurately predict sales and maintain an optimal level of inventory in our system.
Although we have purchased substantially all inventories from one supplier and have been dependent on this supplier for all inventory purchases since we commenced operations, we believe the raw materials for both the Reel Guard and the SLINKOR are available for purchase from several different sources in the open market. We also believe there are several other manufacturing, printing, and packaging services capable of performing the services provided by our current contractors at competitive prices. Our ability to timely obtain raw materials and finished goods may be affected by events beyond our control, such as the inability of suppliers to timely deliver materials due to work stoppages or slowdowns, or significant weather and health conditions (such as COVID-19). Any adverse change in our supply chain and manufacturing, such as our relationship with our third-party contractors, the financial condition of such contractors, and their ability to provide supplies and services to us on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Marketing / Shipping
We currently market and sell the Reel Guard through our website at “outdoorspecialtyproducts.com,” where we also provide access to marketing materials, instructional videos, and installation instructions. We also list the Reel Guard for sale on eBay. To date we have sold the Reel Guard to residents of approximately 25 states and have made one sale outside the U.S. to a resident of Hungary.
We intend to market the SLINKOR on our website and to expand our website to include marketing materials and SLINKOR instructional videos created by the Licensor.
Our business is affected by seasonality, which historically has resulted in higher sales volume during the spring and summer months.
We currently only accept PayPal as the method of payment for our products. Our products are shipped via U.S. Mail promptly following confirmation from PayPal that payment for an order has been received. Shipping is included in the product price and a customer pays no additional shipping charges.
Other Products
We have taken initial steps toward the development of what we believe to be a unique fishing rod product that involves the ability to attach different upper fly rod portions of varying lengths and weights to a single rod butt handle that results in a light weight, multi-purpose fly rod. We have conducted preliminary research regarding the patentability of the proposed product and believe we may be able to obtain patent protection for the product, although no assurances can be given that the product will be developed or that patent protection will be obtained. We have halted our efforts regarding the development of this new product until such time as we have sufficient capital on hand to proceed with its development.
We were formed with the belief that there is an underserved marketplace in the outdoor sporting goods space which can be exploited from multiple fronts. In addition to the Reel Guard and the SLINKOR, we intend to investigate opportunities to develop additional products and to market third party products in the outdoor sporting goods space on our website.
5
Intellectual Property
We hold a U.S. patent on our Reel Guard. We do not hold patents on any other products, and we do not currently hold any trademarks. No assurance can be given that our patent will provide sufficient protection against potential competitors and we may be unable to successfully assert our intellectual property rights, or these rights may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. Any such inability or a successful intellectual property challenge or infringement proceeding against us, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Facilities
Our operations are currently conducted from at the residence of our president. Our facilities are furnished at no cost and consist of the shared use of approximately 500 square feet of office space and assembly/storage space. In connection with the commencement of manufacturing of the SLINKOR, we intend to investigate the desirability of leasing a small assembly, storage, and office space from a third party.
Competition
The outdoor specialty products industry is intensely competitive with respect to price, quality, features, and durability, and it is often difficult to entice customers to try a new product. Many of our competitors are well-established companies with name brand recognition and almost all our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than do we. Such competitors include many national and regional companies and most of our competitors have been in existence for a substantially longer period than have we and are better established. As such, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in our chosen market. In addition, a change in the pricing, marketing or promotional strategies or product mix of one or more of these competitors could have a material adverse impact on our sales and earnings.
Government Regulation
Our operations are subject to numerous federal, state, and local government regulations. The failure to comply with such requirements or increase in the cost of compliance could adversely affect our operations. We are also subject to federal and state environmental regulations, but these have not had a material effect on our operations to date. Our operations are also subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship requirements, and overtime.
Employees and Consultants
We do not currently have any employees other than our founder and president. The loss of our president, would have a material adverse impact on our business and there is no assurance that we could locate a qualified replacement. We have not entered into an employment agreement with our president and we do not carry “key man” life insurance on his life.
Financing
During 2014, we sold 285,747 shares of our common stock to accredited investors in a private placement at a price of $0.35 per share. We received proceeds from the placement in the amount of approximately $100,011, which we used to assist with the funding of our operations from 2014 through 2020, by which time the funds had been exhausted. On or about January 4, 2021, we entered into a line of credit loan with Kirk Blosch, our president and principal stockholder, in order to fund our ongoing operations. Under the terms of the line of credit loan, Mr. Blosch has agreed to advance us up to $40,000 at an interest rate of 3.5% per annum. The line of credit loan is repayable not later than December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, $12,750had been advanced to us under the line of credit loan and no repayments had been made.
As a smaller reporting company, the registrant has omitted the disclosure required under this item.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this registration statement.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.
Overview
We are and have since our inception in 2014 been engaged in the business of developing, selling, and marketing products in niche markets within the specialty outdoor products marketplace. We introduced our proprietary “Reel Guard” product in 2014 and continue to offer it to customers. We intend to commence manufacturing, marketing, and selling our new SLINKOR product in the near future, pursuant to a license agreement entered into with the inventor in May 2021.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around its duration. As a result of COVID-19 mobility restrictions globally, there have been changes in consumer behavior. We expect these changes in behavior to continue to evolve as the pandemic progresses. The impacts seen to date may continue to create a wider range of outcomes as consumer behaviors and mobility restrictions continue to evolve.
The report of our auditor and our financial statements contain a going concern limitation based on our failure to generate sufficient revenue to produce net income and on our limited operating history. These factors, among others, indicate that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to obtain profitability. We believe the addition of our new SLINKOR product will result in increased sales and additional cash flow although no assurances can be given that the SLINKOR will be accepted in the marketplace or that its addition to our product line will actually result in increased sales.
Amounts included in the following discussion as of March 31, 2021, and for the six months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 are unaudited.
Results of Operations
Sales
From our inception in 2014 through the present, our revenues have resulted solely from sales of our proprietary Reel Guard product and our costs of sales also relate solely to that product. Total sales for the year ended September 30, 2020 were $548, compared to $413 for the year ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $135, or approximately 32.7%. We believe the increase in sales resulted from increased public awareness of the Reel Guard product, primarily through word of mouth since we do not engage in advertising other than through our website. Total sales for the six months ended March 31, 2021 were $151, compared to $300 for the six months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $149, or approximately 49.6%. We believe the decrease in sales resulted from the slower pace of sales during the colder fall and winter months and that sales may also have been adversely affected by travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for 2020 was $48, compared to $32 for 2019, an increase of $16, or 50%. Cost of sales for the six months ended March 31, 2021, was $13, compared to $26 for the six months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $13, or 100%. The increase in cost of sales in 2020 is primarily attributed to the increase in sales discussed above and the decrease in cost of sales for the six months ended March 31, 2021, is primarily attributable to the decrease in sales described above. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for 2020 and 2019 was approximately 8.8% and 7.7%, respectively. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the six months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 was approximately 8.6% and 8.7%, respectively. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales has remained fairly constant since we sell only one product and the sales price and manufacturing costs have not changed significantly.
7
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $12,324 for 2020, compared to $13,686 for 2019, a decrease of $1,362 or approximately 10%. General and administrative expenses were $17,245 for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $8,990 for the six months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $8,255 or approximately 91.8%. The increase in these expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in our legal and accounting expenses in connection with our change of corporate domicile from Utah to Nevada and ongoing work on this registration statement.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expenses currently are not material to our business. Depreciation expense was $757 for 2020 and $757 for 2019 resulting from the depreciation of our injection molds for the Reel Guard product using the straight-line method over the useful life which is determined to be seven years. Amortization expense was $382 for 2020 and $355 for 2019 resulting from the amortization of our patent over seventeen years, which is its estimated legal life.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are not currently material to our business. We did not incur research and development expenses in either 2020 or 2019 or in the six months ended March 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, we had total current assets of $15,325, including cash of $7,428, and current liabilities of $12,845, resulting in working capital of $2,480. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $96,581. We have financed our operations from sales of our Reel Guard product, proceeds from our 2014 private placement, and proceeds from a short-term line of credit loan from our president and principal stockholder in early 2021.
For the year ended September 30, 2020, net cash used by operating activities was $8,637, as a result of a net loss of $11,824, reduced by depreciation and amortization of $1,139, a decrease in prepaid expense of $2,000, and a decrease in inventory of $48. By comparison, for the year ended September 30, 2019, net cash used by operating activities was $12,162, as a result of our net loss of $13,305 reduced by depreciation and amortization of $1,112 and a decrease in inventory of $31.
For the six months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used by operating activities was $19,302, as a result of a net loss of $17,202, increased by an increase in prepaid expense of $2,791 and reduced by depreciation and amortization of $583, a decrease in inventory of $13, and an increase in accrued interest of $95. By comparison with the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used by operating activities was $8,632, as a result of a net loss of $8,716, increased by an increase in prepaid expense of $500, and decreased by depreciation and amortization of $558, an increase in prepaid expense of $500, and a decrease in inventory of $26.
During the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we had no cash used in or provided by investing activities or financing activities except that we invested $916 in capitalized patent costs during the year ended September 30, 2020. For the six months ended March 31, 2021, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $12,250 consisting of $12,750 in proceeds from the line of credit loan with our president, decreased by $500 for our repurchase of shares of common stock pursuant to a stockholder’s exercise of dissenters’ rights in connection with our change of domicile merger.
Following our incorporation in 2014, we completed the private placement of 285,747 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at a price of $0.35 per share for total proceeds of $100,011. The proceeds from the placement together with our limited product sales were sufficient to fund our operations through our fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. On January 4, 2021, we entered into a line of credit loan with our president and principal stockholder, which provides for total loans of up to $40,000 at an interest rate of 3.5% per annum, which is due not later than December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we had received proceeds from the line of credit loan in the amount of $12,750, and we had made no repayments.
We believe we have adequate funds to meet our obligations for the next twelve months from our current cash, the line of credit loan, and projected cash flows from operations. Cash flow from operations has not historically been sufficient to sustain our operations without the above additional sources of capital. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the expansion of our product lines to include the new SLINKOR product. To the extent our cash, cash equivalents, and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through private equity or debt financing. We also may need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies, and products. If additional funding is required, we may not be able to affect an equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.
8
In addition, COVID-19 and related measures to contain its impact have caused material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The future impact of COVID-19 and these containment measures cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and no assurance can be given that we will have access to external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all, or that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.
Requirements
The Company currently has no lease obligations or requirements and has not entered into any agreements that require a commitment of cash.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting primarily of injection molded Reel Guards and Adhesive Strips, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using primarily the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method.
Patents
Patents consist of the cost of obtaining the patent for the Reel Guard. Our patents are amortized over their legal life (typically 17 years) and analyzed periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
Revenue Recognition
When the Company sells a reel protector, it recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company considers revenue earned when all the following criteria are met: (i) the contract with the customer has been identified, (ii) the performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations, and (v) the performance obligations have been satisfied.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
The Company’s capital asset consists of molding equipment for the Reel Guard stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life which is determined to be seven years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of any capital assets that are sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.
9
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than- not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has followed the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118 to calculate the value of the deferred tax calculation and current income tax calculation to show the effect of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. Effective January 1, 2018, the corporate tax rate is now 21 percent for all income levels.
The Company adopted changes issued by FASB which prescribed a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under the guidance, an uncertain income tax position must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available, therefore. We have never declared cash dividends on its common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future as it intends to retain future earnings to finance the growth of our businesses.

The 10-year plan is administered by our Board of Directors. No awards have been made under the plan.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
No sales of unregistered securities were made within the past three years. In connection with our change of domicile to the State of Nevada through the merger of the Utah corporation into a Nevada corporation in February 2021, our shareholders were granted dissenters’ rights. One shareholder exercised his dissenter’s rights and we redeemed 1,429 shares held by the shareholder for $500. These shares were returned to our authorized but unissued shares.
ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares, 190,000,000 of which are classified as common shares and 10,000,000 of which are classified as preferred. We have no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized, without shareholder vote, to designate the rights and preferences of any class of preferred stock.
Holders of our common shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase the Company’s common stock. There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Nevada law expressly authorizes a Nevada corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents against liabilities arising out of such persons’ conduct as directors, officers, employees, or agents if they acted in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, in the case of criminal proceedings, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Generally, indemnification for such persons is mandatory if such person was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the proceeding. In addition, as provided in the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or an agreement, the corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by such a person who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition if such person furnishes to the corporation an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the requirements. In order to provide indemnification, unless ordered by a court, the corporation must determine that the person meets the requirements for indemnification. Such determination must be made by a majority of disinterested directors; by independent legal counsel; or by a majority of the shareholders.
Article X of our Articles of Incorporation provides that we must pay expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, involving alleged acts or omissions of such officer or director in his or her capacity as an officer or director as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by us.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

(the “Company”) were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (“Management”) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2020.
These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2021.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company did not generate sufficient revenue to generate net income and has a limited operating history. These factors, among others, may indicate that there is substantial doubt that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds.
NOTE 3 – LINE OF CREDIT – RELATED PARTY
During the quarter ending March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving promissory note agreement with a related party which allows the Company to borrow up to a maximum of $40,000, with funds being advanced from time to time upon request by the Company. The revolving promissory note bears interest at the rate of 3.5%. The unpaid principal interest are due on or before December 31, 2021. The balance on the line of credit at March 31, 2021 was $12,750 with accrued interest of $95.
NOTE 4 – EQUITY
During the quarter ending March 31, 2021, the Company increased its authorized common shares from 90,000,000 to 190,000,000. Also, during the quarter ending March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 1,429 common shares valued at $500, and returned them to its treasury.
NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no events requiring disclosure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Outdoor Specialty Products, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Outdoor Specialty Products, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has minimal operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OUTDOOR SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020 and 2019
NOTE 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization – Outdoor Specialty Products, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Utah on January 31, 2014. The Company is in the business of developing and selling outdoor products with its first product focused on a reel protector for fishing reels. The Company also will be selling third party products through its website. The Company has elected a September 30 fiscal year end.
Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – For the purpose of the financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories – Inventories, consisting primarily of injection molded Reel Guards and Adhesive Strips, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using primarily the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. The Company purchased substantially all inventories from one supplier, and has been dependent on this supplier for all inventory purchases since we commenced operations. The Company has $2,106 and $2,154 in finished goods and $2,596 and $2,596 in raw materials for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Patents – Patents consist of the cost of obtaining a patent for the Company’s reel protector. Our patents are amortized over their legal life (typically 17 years) and analyzed periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
Revenue Recognition – When the Company sells a reel protector, it recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company considers revenue earned when all the following criteria are met: (i) the contract with the customer has been identified, (ii) the performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations, and (v) the performance obligations have been satisfied.
The Company earned $548 and $413 in revenue during the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Recently Enacted Pronouncements – The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future earnings or operations.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share, when they are present in the financial statements, to the extent such shares are dilutive. During the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any stock options, warrants, or other convertible or potentially-dilutive instruments issued and outstanding.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020 and 2019
NOTE 2– Income Tax
The Company follows ASC 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than- not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company followed the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118 to calculate the value of the deferred tax calculation and current income tax calculation to show the effect of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. Effective January 1, 2018 the corporate tax rate is now 21 percent for all income levels.
Deferred tax asset and valuation allowance are as follows at September 30:

At September 30, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $79,000 that may be offset against future taxable income as long as the "continuity of ownership" test is met. No tax benefit has been reported in the September 30, 2020 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The years 2017-2020 are open to examination by the IRS. No reserves for uncertain tax positions have been recorded.
The Company adopted changes issued by FASB which prescribed a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under the guidance, an uncertain income tax position must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

NOTE 3– Long Lived Assets
Property, Plant, and Equipment
The Company’s capital asset consists of molding equipment stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life which is determined to be seven years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of any capital assets that are sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.

NOTE 6 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company did not generate sufficient revenue to generate net income and has a limited operating history. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds. COVID-19 has not had a financial impact on the Company.
NOTE 7 – Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date of the financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no events requiring disclosure.

Section 5.02 Option Exercise Documents. Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by Option Exercise Documents which shall specify the number of shares subject thereto, vesting provisions relating to such Option, the Exercise Price per share, and whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option. As soon as is practical following the grant of an Option, Option Exercise Documents shall be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Optionee to whom such Option was granted. Each Option Exercise Document shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable.
Section 5.03 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock covered by each Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (a) the Exercise Price of an Incentive Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Option is granted, (b) the Exercise Price of a Nonqualified Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Nonqualified Option is granted, and (c) if the person to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant, the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Option is granted.

Section 5.04 Payment of Exercise Price.
a)Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon exercise of an Option and may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, subject to any legal restrictions, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee (provided that shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options granted by the Company must have been held by the Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes), which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (e) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (f) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and a FINRA Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; (g) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “margin” commitment from the Optionee and a FINRA Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the shares so purchased to the FINRA Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the FINRA Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (h) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable law and approved by the Administrator.
b)In lieu of paying the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth in Section 5.04(a) above, the Administrator may permit Optionee, at the election of such Optionee, to exercise the Options by authorizing the Company to withhold from issuance a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options which when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock is equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, as applicable, and such withheld shares shall no longer be issuable under the Option Grant (a “Cashless Exercise”). The formula for determining the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in a Cashless Exercise is as follows:
X = |
(A-B) x C |
|
A |
where:
X = the number of shares issuable upon exercise pursuant to this Cashless Exercise provision.
A = the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the date on which the Optionee delivers the Option Exercise Form.
B = the Exercise Price.
C = the number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option is then being exercised including the withheld shares.
If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no shares shall be issuable via a Cashless Exercise.
Section 5.05 Term and Termination of Options. The term and provisions for termination of each Option shall be as fixed by the Administrator, but no Option may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted.

Section 5.08 Restrictions. Options may not be sold, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of and shall not be assignable or transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order entered by a court in settlement of marital property rights, except as specifically provided in the Stock Option Agreement or as authorized by the Administrator, and subject to 0 of this Plan.

The Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Option Exercise Document other terms and conditions that relate to vesting of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the event of a Change in Control.

The Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each agreement other terms and conditions that relate to vesting of such Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards in the event of a Change in Control.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
Section 11.01 Amendments. The Board may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan in such respects as the Board may deem advisable. No such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Option Exercise Documents, Restricted Stock Awards Agreement, Restricted Stock Unit Grant Form, and Stock Appreciation Right Agreement without such Participant’s consent. Shareholder approval is required for any amendment which increases the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan. The Board may alter or amend the Plan to comply with requirements under the Code relating to Incentive Options or other types of options which gives Optionees more favorable tax treatment than that applicable to Options granted under this Plan as of the date of its adoption. Upon any such alteration or amendment, any outstanding Option granted hereunder may, if the Administrator so determines and if permitted by applicable law, be subject to the more favorable tax treatment afforded to an Optionee pursuant to such terms and conditions. The Plan Administrator may revise or amend the grant forms attached to this Plan.
Section 11.02 Plan Termination. Unless this Plan shall theretofore have been terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no Options, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, or Restricted Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan thereafter, but Option Exercise Documents, Restricted Stock Awards Agreement, Restricted Stock Unit Grant Forms, and Stock Appreciation Right Agreements then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

TAXES
Section 12.01 Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements with respect to any Options, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, or Restricted Stock Awards. To the extent permissible under applicable tax, securities and other laws, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, permit a Participant to satisfy his or her obligation to pay any such tax, in whole or in part, up to an amount determined on the basis of the highest marginal tax rate applicable to such Participant, by (a) directing the Company to apply shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit or Restricted Share, or (b) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant. The shares of Common Stock so applied or delivered in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax withholding obligation shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to withholding.
Section 12.02 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Options, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Restricted Stock Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Option Exercise Document, Restricted Stock Awards Agreement, Restricted Stock Unit Grant Form, and Stock Appreciation Right Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Option, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock Appreciation Right, or Restricted Stock Award, or grant, payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code such Option, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock Appreciation Right, or Restricted Share will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral thereof will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code.

Section 13.10 Rule 16b-3. With respect to Participants subject to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3.

Vesting and Other Terms: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the SARs set forth above. Each SAR entitles the Participant to receive, upon exercise, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Administrator) of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, over (b) the Exercise Price (the “Appreciation Value”). The SARs are being granted under and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
2.Vesting Schedule. The SARs will vest under the terms set forth above. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the unvested SARs will not be exercisable on or after the Participant’s termination of continued employment.
3.Expiration. The SARs will expire on the Expiration Date set forth above, or earlier as provided in this Agreement or the Plan.
4.Manner of Exercise.
a.When to Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may exercise his or her vested SARs, in whole or in part, at any time after vesting and until the Expiration Date or earlier termination pursuant to Section 3 hereof, by following the procedures set forth in this Section. If partially exercised, the Participant may exercise the remaining unexercised portion of the SARs at any time after vesting and until the Expiration Date or earlier termination pursuant hereto. No SARs shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
b.Election to Exercise. To exercise the SARs, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company a written notice (or notice through another previously approved method, which could include a web-based or e-mail system) to the Company which sets forth the number of SARs being exercised, together with any additional documents as the Company may require. Each such notice must satisfy whatever then-current procedures apply to the SARs and must contain such representations as the Company requires.
c.Documentation of Right to Exercise. If someone other than the Participant exercises the SARs, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the SARs.
d.Date of Exercise. The SARs shall be deemed to be exercised on the business day that the Company receives a fully executed exercise notice. If the notice is received after business hours on such date, then the SAR shall be deemed to be exercised on the business date immediately following the business date such notice is received by the Company.
5.Form of Payment. Upon the exercise of all or a portion of the SARs, the Participant shall be entitled to a payment in cash or stock (solely at the discretion of the Administrator) equal to the Appreciation Value of the SARs being exercised, less any amounts withheld for taxes.
18
6.Section 409A; No Deferral of Compensation. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement is intended to provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The Company reserves the right to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan or this Agreement, to the extent the Company considers it necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, to comply with, or to ensure that the SARs granted hereunder are not subject to, Section 409A of the Code.
7.No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in any position, as an employee, consultant, advisor, or director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Participant’s continued employment at any time, with or without Cause.
8.Tax Liability and Withholding. Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting, or exercise of the SARs and (b) does not commit to structure the SARs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
9.Notices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the principal financial officer of the Company at the Company’s principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Participant under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s address as shown in the records of the Company. Either party may designate another address in writing (or by such other method approved by the Company) from time to time.
10.Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of ** without regard to conflict of law principles.
11.Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or the Company to the Administrator for review. The resolution of such dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on the Participant and the Company.
12.SARs Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.
13.Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the SARs may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
15.Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
16.Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the SARs in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any SARs or other awards in the future. Future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment with the Company.
17.Amendment. The Administrator has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the SAR, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Participant’s material rights under this Agreement without the Participant’s consent.
18.No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Participant’s SARs is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.
19
19.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.
20.Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof and accepts the SARs subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of the SARs and that the Participant should consult a tax advisor prior to such exercise.

Until so surrendered, each such certificate or book entry representing outstanding shares of common stock of OSPI (UT) shall represent the ownership of a like number of shares of OSPI (NV) for all corporate and legal purposes.
As of the effective time of the merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of OSPI (NV) which shares are held by OSPI (UT), shall be redeemed by OSPI (NV) for the sum of $1.00 and such redeemed shares shall be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares.

(e)OSPI (NV) shall thenceforth be responsible and liable for all the liabilities and obligations of each of the merging corporations and any claim existing or action or proceeding pending by or against either of the merging corporations may be prosecuted to judgment as if such merger had not taken place, or OSPI (NV) may be substituted in its place. Neither the rights of creditors nor any liens upon the property of either of the merging corporations shall be impaired by reason of the merger.
(f)After the effective time of the merger, the earned surplus of OSPI (NV) shall equal the aggregate of the earned surpluses of the merging corporations immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The earned surplus determined as above provided shall continue to be available for payment of dividends by OSPI (NV).

OSPI (NV) hereby agrees that it may be served with process in the State of Utah in any proceeding for enforcement of any obligation of OSPI (UT), and in any proceeding for the enforcement of the rights of a dissenting shareholder of OSPI (UT). OSPI (NV) irrevocably appoints the director of the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code as its agent to accept service of process in any such proceeding. The address to which a copy of the process may be mailed is 3842 Quail Hollow Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84109.

The Maturity Date may be extended from time to time by the written agreement of Borrower and Noteholder.
(b)Optional Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.
2. Interest.

Interest shall accrue daily on the outstanding balance of the Principal Indebtedness both before and after judgment. All computations of interest shall be made based on a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on the Principal Indebtedness commencing on the day or days on which advances under this Note are made but shall not accrue on the Principal Indebtedness on the day on which it is paid.
(b)Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full.
(a)Manner of Payment. All payments of interest and principal shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America no later than 5:00 P.M. on the date on which such payment is due by company check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Noteholder at the above address or to Noteholder’s account at a bank specified by the Noteholder in writing to Borrower from time to time.
(b)Application of Payments. All payments made hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder, second, to accrued and unpaid interest and third, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Indebtedness.
(c)Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks in Salt Lake City, Utah are authorized or required by law to close, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension will be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note.
4. Revolving Line of Credit. This Note shall be a revolving line of credit under which Borrower may, with the consent of Lender, repeatedly draw and repay funds, so long as no default has occurred hereunder beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period and so long as the aggregate, outstanding principal balance at any time does not exceed the principal amount of this Note. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, this Note shall have a zero-balance owing, this Note shall not be deemed satisfied or terminated but shall remain in full force and effect for future draws unless terminated on other grounds.

6. Interest Limitation.

If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other agreement between the parties to this Note and the Noteholder, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. In the event that any payment is received by the Noteholder that would otherwise be deemed to be a payment of interest in excess of the maximum allowed by law, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on account of principal at the time of receipt. This provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Note and all agreements between the parties and the Noteholder.
7.

11. Waiver of Presentment Etc. Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, protest, demand and notice of dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and consents to all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by the holder hereof with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note.
12. Entire Agreement: Successors and Assigns. This Note constitutes the entire agreement between Borrower and the Noteholder relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement between Borrower and the Noteholder related to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Note.
