RISK FACTORS

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as those risks described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” each contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, as well as other information in this prospectus or in any other documents incorporated by reference. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a complete loss of your investment. This prospectus and the incorporated documents also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned above.

Risks Relating to our Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last date of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under the current registration (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. We will be deemed a large accelerated filer on the first day of the fiscal year after the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions available to emerging growth companies. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

A Company that elects to be treated as an emerging growth company shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under the current registration; (iii) the date on which it has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which is deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’ as defined by the SEC, which would generally occur upon it attaining a public float of at least $700 million.

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Management of EBC cannot guarantee that EBC will generate revenues which could result in a total loss of the value of your investment if it is unsuccessful in its business plans.

There can be no assurance that EBC will continue to generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain its business. As a result, you could lose all of your investment if EBC is not successful in its existing and any proposed business.

EBC’s needs could exceed the amount of time or level of experience our officers and directors may have. EBC will be dependent on key executives, and the loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact EBC’s business operations.

Until such time as EBC hires additional full time employees, the responsibility of developing EBC’s business and the offering and selling of the shares based on current filings and the reporting requirements of a public company will fall upon the two officers and the directors, as well as third party advisors and consultants that EBC may retain form time to time. In the event they are unable to fulfill any aspect of their duties to EBC, it may experience a shortfall or complete lack of sales resulting in little or no profits and eventual closure of our business.

Additionally, the management of future growth will require, among other things, continued development of EBC’s financial and management controls and management information systems, stringent control of costs, increased marketing activities, and the ability to attract and retain qualified management, research, and marketing personnel. The loss of key executives or the failure to hire qualified replacement personnel would compromise EBC’s ability to generate revenues or otherwise have a material adverse effect on EBC. There can be no assurance that EBC will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel but every effort will be made to do so.

Current management has limited experience in complying with public company reporting and other obligations. Taking steps to comply with these requirements will increase our costs and require additional management resources, and does not ensure that we will be able to satisfy them.

As a public company, we are required to comply with applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as other federal securities laws, and rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and the various exchanges and trading facilities where our common stock may trade, which will result in significant initial and continuing legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses. These rules and requirements impose certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence, filing and distributing annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, approvals and voting, soliciting proxies, conflicts of interest, and codes of conduct, depending on where our shares trade. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all applicable requirements.

As we review our internal controls and procedures, we may determine that they are ineffective or have material weaknesses, which could impact the market’s acceptance of our filings and financial statements.

As EBC continues as a publicly reporting company, EBC management will be required to continue to review our internal control over financial reporting for the purpose of providing the reports required by the SEC’s rules. As EBC grows and during the course of our ongoing reviews and testing, we may identify deficiencies or our controls and procedures may no longer be deemed to be effective. Furthermore, if we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, which could harm our operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and cause the trading price of our stock to fall. In addition, as a public company we are required to file in a timely manner accurate quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Any failure to report our financial results on an accurate and timely basis could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of our shares from the market or trading facility where our shares may trade, or other adverse consequences that would materially harm our business.

Because EBC has shown a net loss since inception, ownership of EBC shares could result in a complete loss of the value of your investment if EBC is unsuccessful in its business plans.

Based upon current plans, EBC expects to incur operating losses in future periods as it incurs significant expenses associated with the growth of its business. Further, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in realizing future revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of its business or force EBC to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of its equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.

Growth and development of operations will depend on the acceptance of EBC’s proposed business. If EBC’s products are not deemed desirable and suitable for purchase and it cannot establish or grow a customer base, it may not be able to generate future revenues, which would result in a failure of the business and a loss of the value of your investment.

The acceptance of EBC’s brewing products for its customers is critically important to its success. EBC cannot be certain that the products and services that it will be offering will be appealing and as a result there may not be any demand for these products and its sales could be limited and it may never realize any revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that if it alters or changes the products it offers in the future that the demand for these new products will develop and this could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.

If demand for the products EBC plans to offer slows, then its business would be materially affected, which could result in the loss of your entire investment of EBC’s common stock.

Demand for products which we intend to sell depends on many factors, including:

For the long term, demand for the products we plan to offer may be affected by:

All of these factors could result in immediate and longer term declines in the demand for the products it plans to offer, which could adversely affect its sales, cash flows and overall financial condition.

EBC has limited management resources, and will be dependent on key executives. The loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact EBC’s business operations and future development, which could result in a loss of revenues and adversely impact the ability to ever sell any shares owned.

EBC is relying on a small number of key individuals to implement its business and operations and, in particular, the professional expertise and services of Michael J. Rapport, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Kenneth Wiedrich, our Chief Financial Officer; and Evan Rapport, our Vice President and a member of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, EBC may not have sufficient managerial resources to successfully manage the increased business activity envisioned by its business strategy. In addition, EBC's future success depends in large part on the continued service of Mr. Michael Rapport and Mr. Evan Rapport. EBC has not entered into an employment agreement with Michael Rapport, and has an employment agreement with Evan Rapport that runs for three years. If either of these persons chooses not to serve as officers or if they are unable to perform their duties, this could have an adverse effect on Company business operations, financial condition and operating results if it is unable to replace them with other individuals qualified to develop and market its business. The loss of their services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any stock owned.

EBC’s industry requires attracting and retaining talented employees, and the inability to retain such talented employees could result in the loss of the value of your investment.

Success in the craft beer industry does and will continue to require the acquisition and retention of highly talented and experienced individuals. Due to the growth in the market segment targeted, such individuals and the talent and experience they possess is in high demand. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and maintain access to such individuals.

The Company has adopted an equity incentive plan pursuant to which, stock, options and other forms of equity consideration can be given to employees. Management intends to use this pool to attract and retain personnel; however, if we fail to attract, train, motivate and retain talented personnel, our business, financial condition, and operating results may be materially and adversely impacted, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.

The speculative nature of our business could result in unpredictable results and a loss of the value of your investment.

The craft beer brewing industry is extremely competitive and the commercial success of any product is often dependent on factors beyond our control, including but not limited to market acceptance and retailers' prominently shelving and selling our products. We may experience substantial cost overruns in manufacturing and marketing our products, and may not have sufficient capital to successfully complete any of our projects. We may also incur uninsured losses for liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business in the manufacturing industry, or which are unforeseen, including but not limited to trademark infringement, product liability, and employment liability.

Competition that EBC faces is varied and strong.

EBC’s products and industry as a whole are subject to extreme competition. There is no guarantee that we can sustain our market position or expand our business. We anticipate that the intensity of competition in the future will increase.

We compete with a number of entities in providing products to our customers. Such competitor entities include: (1) a variety of large nationwide corporations, including but not limited to public entities and companies that have established loyal customer bases over several decades; (2) local craft breweries and brewpubs that have the same or a similar business plan as we do; and (3) a variety of other local, regional and national breweries and with which we either currently or may, in the future, compete.

Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with both existing and potential customers. They also may be able to offer more competitive products and services and more aggressively promote and sell their products. Our competitors may also be able to support more aggressive pricing than we will be able to, which could adversely affect sales, cause us to decrease our prices to remain competitive, or otherwise reduce the overall gross profit earned on our products.

Additionally, our third party providers themselves are subject to the intensely competitive market. We rely on such providers for underlying services and products that enable and/or facilitate the creation of our products. Competition or grain shortages may affect our suppliers’ ability to innovate and to continue existing product and service offerings, which could result in the loss of the value of your entire investment.

Our success in business and operations will depend on general economic conditions.

The success of EBC depends, to a large extent, on certain economic factors that are beyond its control. Factors such as general economic conditions, levels of unemployment, interest rates, tax rates at all levels of government, competition and other factors beyond EBC’s control may have an adverse effect on EBC’s ability to sell its products and to collect sums due and owing to it.

Changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.

Our success depends, in part, upon the popularity of our products and our ability to organically develop new brands or acquire the licensing or distribution rights to existing brands that appeal to consumers. Shifts in consumer preferences away from our products, our inability to develop new products that appeal to consumers, or changes in our product mix that eliminate items popular with some consumers could harm our business. Also, our success depends to a significant extent on discretionary consumer spending, which is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Accordingly, we may experience declines in revenue during economic downturns or during periods of uncertainty. Any material decline in the amount of discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations, business and financial condition.

EBC may not be able to successfully implement its business strategy, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If EBC cannot successfully implement its business strategy, it could result in the loss of the value of your investment.

Successful implementation of its business strategy depends on factors specific to the liquor industry and micro-breweries specifically, and the state of the financial industry and numerous other factors that may be beyond its control. Adverse changes in the following factors could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on its business, its financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:

There are no substantial barriers to entry into the industry, and because EBC has only limited copyright protection for the products it intends to sell, there is no guarantee someone else will not duplicate its ideas and bring them to market before it does, which could severely limit EBC’s sales and revenues. If EBC cannot generate sales and revenues, it could result in the loss of the value of your investment.

Because EBC has limited copyright and trademark protection, unauthorized persons may attempt to copy aspects of EBC’s business, including its product design or functionality, services or marketing materials. Any encroachment upon EBC’s corporate information, including the unauthorized use of its brand names, the use of a similar name by a competing company, or a lawsuit initiated against EBC for infringement upon another company's proprietary information or improper use of their copyright, may affect its ability to create brand name recognition, cause customer confusion and/or have a detrimental effect on its business. Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. or International Patent and Trademark Offices may be necessary in the future to enforce EBC’s intellectual property rights, to protect its trade secrets and domain name and/or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such infringement, litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm its business operations and/or results of operations. As a result, an investment in the Company could result in the loss of the entire investment.

Failure of third-party distributors upon which we rely could adversely affect our business and result in the loss of your investment.

Like most craft brewers, EBC plans to rely heavily on third party distributors for the sale of their products to retailers. The loss of a significant distributor could have a material adverse effect on EBC’s business, financial condition and results of operations. EBC’s distributors often represent competing specialty beer brands, as well as national beer brands, and are to varying degrees influenced by their continued business relationships with other brewers. EBC’s independent distributors may be influenced by a large brewer if they rely on that brewer for a significant portion of their sales. While we believe that the relationships between EBC and its distributors are generally good, many of these relationships are relatively new and untested and there can be no assurance that EBC’s distributors will continue to effectively market and distribute EBC’s beer. The loss of any distributor or the inability to replace a poorly performing distributor in a timely fashion could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of EBC. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that EBC will successfully attract new distributors as they increase their presence in their existing markets or expand into new markets.

We likely will have limited market for our brands in a concentrated geographic area.

Management believes that sales of EBC products in California, along with private label sales, are likely to continue to be the largest market for EBC, and that regional identification may assist EBC’s competitors in other regions. Penetration of other regional markets is an important element of EBC’s expansion plan, and failure to accomplish this objective will hinder the success of the expansion plan and could have a material adverse impact on EBC’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

EBC depends on a limited number of suppliers; cost and availability of raw materials.

EBC relies upon a limited number of suppliers for raw materials used to make and package EBC’s products, including, but not limited to, providers of hops, grains and other products necessary for us to manufacture our product. EBC’s success will depend in part upon our ability to successfully secure such materials from suppliers that are delivered with consistency and at a quality that meets our requirements. The price and availability of these materials are subject to market conditions. For example, the availability and price of hops can be volatile and any future recurrence of these conditions could adversely affect us. Increases in the price of our products due to the increase in the cost of raw materials could have a negative effect on our business.

If EBC is unable to obtain sufficient quantities or other raw materials, delays or reductions in product shipments could occur which would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of EBC. The costs of grains and hops, in particularly, are volatile and unpredictable. As with most agricultural products, the supply and price of raw materials used to produce EBC’s beer can be affected by a number of factors beyond EBC’s control, such as frosts, droughts, other weather conditions, economic factors affecting growing decisions, and various plant diseases and pests. If any of the foregoing were to occur, no assurance can be given that such condition would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of EBC. In addition, the results of operations of EBC are dependent upon its ability to accurately forecast its requirements of raw materials. Any failure by EBC to accurately forecast its demand for raw materials could result in an inability to meet higher than anticipated demand for products or producing excess inventory, either of which may adversely affect results of operations of EBC.

While management believes that EBC’s relations with its suppliers are good, there can be no assurance that these suppliers will be able or willing to supply EBC with materials at the current pricing levels, or at all, or that it will be successful in engaging alternative suppliers on commercially reasonable terms which meet the quality or pricing levels currently experienced by EBC. As a result, should EBC’s costs increase and if those increases are unable to be passed on to its customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely impacted, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.

Product Concentration; dependence on new product introductions.

EBC is dependent on the Evans Brands, the EBC Malt Brands, contract brewing relationships and private label brewing relationships to generate revenues. While we anticipate expanding our product offerings, we expect that our existing brands and services will continue to account for a large portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Therefore, EBC’s future operating results, particularly in the near term, are significantly dependent upon the continued market acceptance of our beers and maintaining contractual relationships for contract brewing and private label brewing. For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, contract brewing relationships accounted for approximately 4.7% of the combined of EBC, while production of EBC branded beers, including co-branded private label products, accounted for approximately 95.3% of our revenues. Further, sales of products pursuant to EBC’s private labeling relationships are not undertaken with any long term contracts or commitments, and decisions by customers to reduce or stop purchases of such products could be materially detrimental to the EBC.

There can be no assurance that EBC's beer products will continue to achieve market acceptance. Initial sales for a new alcoholic beverage product may be caused by the interest of distributors and retailers to have the latest product on hand for potential future sale to consumers. As a result, initial stocking orders for, or sales of, a newly introduced alcoholic beverage product may not be indicative of market acceptance and long term consumer demand. A decline in the demand for any of EBC's beers as a result of competition, changes in consumer tastes and preferences, government regulation or other factors would have a material adverse effect on EBC's business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that EBC will be successful in importing, developing, managing, introducing and marketing additional new alcoholic beverage products that will sustain sales growth in the future.

Our revenue growth rate depends primarily on our ability to satisfy relevant channels and end-customer demands, identify suppliers of our necessary ingredients and to coordinate those suppliers, all subject to many unpredictable factors.

We may not be able to identify and maintain the necessary relationships with suppliers of product and services as planned. Delays or failures in deliveries could materially and adversely affect our growth strategy and expected results. As we supply more customers, our rate of expansion relative to the size of such customer base will decline. In addition, one of our biggest challenges is securing an adequate supply of suitable product. Competition for product is intense, and commodities costs subject to price volatility.

Our ability to execute our business plan also depends on other factors, including:

We lack extensive sales, marketing and distribution capabilities and depend on third parties to market our products.

As of June 31, 2016, we employ only two personnel dedicated solely to sales and marketing of our products, with two additional employees beginning employment in August 2016. Further, in light of the three-tier regulatory structure applicable to sales of beer, we generally must rely primarily upon third party distributors to market and sell our products. These third parties may not be able to market our product successfully or may not devote the time and resources to marketing our products that we require. We also rely upon third party carriers to distribute and deliver our products. As such, our deliveries are to a certain extent out of our control. If we choose to develop our own sales, marketing or distribution capabilities, we will need to build a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities, which will require a substantial amount of management and financial resources that may not be available. If we or a third party are not able to adequately sell and distribute our product, our business will be materially harmed.

The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is regulated by federal and state law; taxation.

The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is a business that is highly regulated and taxed at the federal, state and local levels. EBC’s operations may be subject to more restrictive regulations and increased taxation by federal, state and local governmental agencies than are those of non-alcohol related businesses. For instance, operation of EBC’s breweries requires various federal, state and local licenses, permits and approvals. The loss or revocation of any existing licenses, permits or approvals, failure to obtain any additional or new licenses, permits or approvals or the failure to obtain approval for the transfer of any existing permits or licenses could have a material adverse effect on the ability of EBC to conduct its business. Certain states have laws restricting or forbidding a combined pub and brewery. Furthermore, U.S. Treasury Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF") regulations prohibit, among other things, the payment of beer slotting allowances to retailers. These regulations have the effect of preventing competitors with greater financial resources from excluding smaller brewers from retailers. Any repeal or substantial modification of these regulations or the enactment of any new legislation or regulations could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of EBC. The distribution of alcohol-based beverages is also subject to extensive federal and state taxation. Our operations may be subject to increased taxation as compared with those of non-alcohol related businesses. In such event, we have to raise prices on our products in order to maintain profit margins. The effect of such an increase could negatively impact our sales or profitability.

We face various operating hazards, which if not addressed correctly, could result in the reduction of our operations and the loss of your investment.

EBC’s operations are subject to certain hazards and liability risks faced by all brewers, such as potential contamination of ingredients or products by bacteria or other external agents that may be wrongfully or accidentally introduced into products or packaging. EBC’s products are not pasteurized. While EBC has never experienced a contamination problem in their products, the occurrence of such a problem could result in a costly product recall and serious damage to the reputation of EBC for product quality. EBC’s operations also subject employees and others to certain injury and liability risks normally associated with the operation and possible malfunction of brewing and other equipment. Although EBC maintains insurance against certain risks under various general liability and product liability insurance policies, no assurance can be given that EBC’s insurance will be adequate to fully cover any incidents of product contamination or injuries resulting from brewery operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to maintain insurance with adequate coverage for liabilities or risks arising from our business operations on acceptable terms. Even if the insurance is adequate, insurance premiums could increase significantly which could result in higher costs to us.

Litigation and publicity concerning product quality, health and other issues, which can result in liabilities and also cause customers to avoid our products, could adversely affect our results of operations, business and financial condition.

Beverage and food service businesses can be adversely affected by litigation and complaints from customers or government authorities resulting from food and beverage quality, illness, injury or other health concerns or operating issues stemming from consumption of products. Adverse publicity about these allegations may negatively affect us, regardless of whether the allegations are true, by discouraging customers from buying our products. We could also incur significant liabilities, if a lawsuit or claim results in a decision against us, or litigation costs, regardless of the result. Further, any litigation may cause our key employees to expend resources and time normally devoted to the operations of our business.

The alcohol-based beverage industry also faces the possibility of class action or other similar litigation alleging that the continued excessive use or abuse of alcohol-based beverages has caused death or serious health problems. It is also possible that federal or state governments could assert that the use of alcohol-based beverages has significantly increased that portion of health care costs paid for by the government. Litigation or assertions of this type have adversely affected companies in the tobacco industry. It is possible, however, that our suppliers could be named in litigation of this type which could have a negative impact on their business and, in turn, could also have a significant negative impact on our business.

If our costs and expenses are greater than anticipated and we are unable to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to fully fund our operations and to otherwise execute our business plan.

Should our costs and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in a manner that will increase or accelerate our anticipated costs and expenses, the depletion of our working capital would be accelerated. To the extent it becomes necessary for us to raise additional cash in the future as our current cash and working capital resources are depleted, we will seek to raise it through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We may also seek to satisfy indebtedness without any cash outlay through the private issuance of debt or equity securities. Other than our Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital, we currently do not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to continue our operations.

Risks Relating to Our Agreements with Kodiak Capital

The sale of our common stock to Kodiak Capital may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Kodiak Capital, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

On September 16, 2016, we entered into an Amended and Restated Equity Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant the Purchase Agreement, Kodiak Capital has committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of our common stock. The shares that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in the future may be sold by us to Kodiak Capital at our discretion from time to time, commencing after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus and concluding on June 24, 2017. The per share purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock, and will be equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following our request for Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares. Closings from time to time under the Restated Purchase Agreement shall only occur if the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the applicable valuation period is greater than or equal to $2.50 per share. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.

We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Kodiak Capital, except that, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we would be unable to sell shares to Kodiak Capital if such purchase would result in its beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock. Kodiak Capital may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, after it has acquired shares, Kodiak Capital may sell all, some or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to Kodiak Capital by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Kodiak Capital, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

Kodiak Capital may pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock for purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

The common stock to be issued to Kodiak Capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement may be purchased at a 30% discount to the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following our request for Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares if the market price of our common stock during such time is greater than or equal to $2.50 per share. Kodiak Capital has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Kodiak Capital sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, Kodiak Capital may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Investors who choose to purchase shares of EBC common stock if and when offered, may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the lack of market or state Blue Sky laws.

Our common stock had been accepted for trading on the OTCQB, although there can be no guarantee that any market will ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. Investors should be aware that there might be additional significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, investors should consider any secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Sales of our common stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.

Under Rule 144, affiliates of EBC may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. If substantial amounts of our common stock become available for resale under Rule 144 once a market has developed for our common stock, the then-prevailing market prices for our common stock may be reduced.

We may, in the future, issue additional securities, which would reduce our stockholders’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of September 21, 2016, we had 4,603,463 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 95,396,537 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock or preferred stock may result in additional dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis including for services or acquisitions or other corporate actions that may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our stockholders, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock. Additionally, our board of directors may designate the rights terms and preferences of one or more series of preferred stock at its discretion including conversion and voting preferences without prior notice to our stockholders. Any of these events could have a dilutive effect on the ownership of our shareholders, and the value of shares owned.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, your ownership interest in EBC will be diluted.

Raising additional capital may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights.

We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, the terms of any such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that materially adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if available, would increase our fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, strategic partnerships and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our intellectual property, future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Market volatility may affect our stock price and the value of your shares.

Once a market for our common stock is established, the market price for our common stock is likely to be volatile, in part because our common stock has not been previously traded publicly. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including, among others:

An active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained. We will work to negotiate and determine the initial public sale price with our market makers, but this price may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports or publish misleading, inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts cover our company, the trading price and volume of our stock would likely be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or provides more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise adequate capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

We will be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions, and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. We anticipate that our common stock will become a “penny stock”, and we will become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule”. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

We do not anticipate that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly.

EBC’s executive officers do not have experience being an officer of a public company. It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

Due to the lack of a trading market for our securities, you may have difficulty selling any shares you purchase in this offering, which could result in the loss of your investment.

There is presently little demand for our common stock and only a limited public market exists for the shares.. We have worked with a market maker and our shares have been accepted for trading on OTCQB. However, there is no guarantee that a trading market will ever develop. The OTC Markets are regulated quotation services that display real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The services are not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. To be eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets OTCQB or OTCQX markets, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult or impossible for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if EBC fails to have or maintain its common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.

EBC may issue Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock.

Although EBC presently has no intention to do so without stockholder approval, which may be obtained solely through the votes of its management and board of directors, the Board may issue Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. Any such provision may be deemed to have a potential anti-takeover effect, and the issuance of Preferred Stock in accordance with such provision may delay or prevent a change of control of EBC. The Board of Directors also may declare a dividend on any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

We may never pay dividends to shareholders, which could reduce the monetary gain you may realize on your investment.

To date, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. If EBC does not pay dividends, EBC’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if EBC’s stock price appreciates.

If we make any acquisitions or enter into any business combinations in the future, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

If we make acquisitions or enter into any business combinations in the future, funding permitting, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ assets, personnel and operations with our own. Additionally, acquisitions, mergers or business combinations we may enter into in the future could result in a change of control of the Company, and a change in the Board of Directors or officers of the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition or completing a business combination, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions and business combinations are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition or business combination, many of which cannot be presently identified. These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

Any acquisition or business combination transaction we enter into in the future could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders, result in one party having majority or significant control over the Company or result in a change in business focus of the Company.

Our officers and directors have limited liability, and we are required in certain instances to indemnify our officers and directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties.

We have adopted provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of our officers and directors and provide for indemnification by us of our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. Our articles generally provide that our officers and directors shall have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our stockholders’ ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.

Concentration of share ownership by our largest stockholders may prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions.

As of September 21, 2016, Michael J. Rapport owns approximately 69.47% of our stock through the ownership interest of The Michael J. Rapport Trust and Evan M. Rapport, Michael J. Rapport’s son, owns approximately 13.50% of our stock. As a result, Michael J. Rapport and Evan M. Rapport have the ability to exert significant influence over matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors, and on the outcome of corporate actions, including a change of control of the Company, a business combination involving the Company, the incurrence of indebtedness, the issuance of equity securities and the payment of dividends on our stock. This concentration of ownership could be disadvantageous to other stockholders with differing interests from such persons.

If persons engage in short sales of our common stock, the price of our common stock may decline.

Selling short is a technique used by a stockholder to take advantage of an anticipated decline in the price of a security. In addition, holders of options and warrants will sometimes sell short knowing they can, in effect, cover through the exercise of an option or warrant, thus locking in a profit. A significant number of short sales or a large volume of other sales within a relatively short period of time can create downward pressure on the market price of a security. You could, therefore, experience a decline in the value of your investment as a result of short sales of our common stock.
