This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our common stock. You should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and unaudited pro forma financial information, each included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Offering Circular to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to The Marquie Group, Inc.

 

OUR COMPANY

 

The Marquie Group, Inc. (“TMGI” or “The Company”) (TMGI: OTC) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida, as Maximum Consulting, Inc., changing its name to ZhongSen International Tea Company in April 2008, with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd. However, due to lack of capital, the Company was unable to implement its business plan fully. On May 31, 2013, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger”) with Music of Your Life, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYL Nevada”). As a result of the Merger, MYL Nevada is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company is now operating a multi-media entertainment company, producing television shows and radio programming. The Company changed its name to Music of Your Life, Inc. effective July 26, 2013. 

 

On August 16, 2018 (see Note 7), the Company merged with The Marquie Group, Inc. (“TMG”) in exchange for the issuance of a total of 40,000,002 shares of our common stock to TMG’s stockholders. Following the merger, the Company had 40,912,865 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On December 5, 2018, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation providing for a change in the Company’s name from “Music of Your Life, Inc.” to “The Marquie Group, Inc.” On February 22, 2018 our FINRA symbol changed from “MYLI” to “TMGI.”

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is currently developing a direct-to-consumer, health and beauty products platform that use innovative formulations of plant-based, amino-acid and CBD alternatives to chemical ingredients with the objective of selling them over terrestrial radio networks through 3 minute per hour advertising spots in order maximize net market return from our products.

 

OUR STRATEGY

Marketing plan includes a multi-channel, national sales program developed by the Company’s team of health and beauty product marketing specialists that will target consumers through proven and tested inspirational branding and sensorial experience.

If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

This offering contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our customers’ or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as other sections in this prospectus, discuss the important factors that could contribute to these differences.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

This prospectus also contains market data related to our business and industry. This market data includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions. If these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. As a result, our markets may not grow at the rates projected by these data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at these projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of our common stock.

 

Risk Related to our Company and our Business

 

We may require additional funds in the future to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain funding may cause our business plan to fail.

 

We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity sales in order to fund our future operations and fulfill contractual obligations in the future. These financings may not be available when needed. Even if these financings are available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing would have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our current business plan and develop our products, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our operations and possibly cease our existence.

 

Even if we are successful in raising capital in the future, we will likely need to raise additional capital to continue and/or expand our operations. If we do not raise the additional capital, the value of any investment in our Company may become worthless. In the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan.

 

Our management has a limited experience operating a public company in the CBD and healthy lifestyle industry and is subject to the risks commonly encountered by early-stage companies.

 

Although the management of The Marquie Group, Inc. has experience in operating public companies, current management has not had to manage expansion while being a public company in in the CBD and healthy lifestyle industry. Because we have a limited operating history for our current business model, our operating prospects should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. These risks include:

 

· risks that we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy;
· risks that we may not develop our product and service offerings in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements;
· risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and
· risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues.

 

These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these and the other risks described in this section. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business would be significantly harmed.

 

We may not be successful in the implementation of our business strategy or our business strategy may not be successful, either of which will impede our development and growth.

 

Our business strategy is to develop expert-led, direct-to-consumer, health and beauty products platform that use innovative formulations of plant-based, amino-acid and CBD alternatives to chemical ingredients. Our ability to implement this business strategy is dependent on our ability to: 

 

· Distinguish ourselves in a very competitive market;

  · Establish brand recognition and customer loyalty; and

· Manage growth in administrative overhead costs during the initiation of our business efforts.

 

We do not know whether we will be able to continue successfully implementing our business strategy or whether our business strategy will ultimately be successful. In assessing our ability to meet these challenges, a potential investor should take into account our need for significant amounts of capital to fund marketing and product development within our subsidiaries and brand recognition, our management’s relative inexperience, the competitive conditions existing in our industry and general economic conditions. Our growth is largely dependent on our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Our revenues may be adversely affected if we fail to implement our business strategy or if we divert resources to a business that ultimately proves unsuccessful.

Table of Contents 

 

We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our company will suffer.

 

Our business consists of a direct-to-consumer platform for plant based, amino-acid and CBD health and beauty products. Expansion of our operations, to include the development of all our portfolio, may also cause a significant demand on our management, finances and other resources. Our ability to manage the anticipated future growth, should it occur, will depend upon a significant expansion of our accounting and other internal management systems and the implementation and subsequent improvement of a variety of systems, procedures and controls. There can be no assurance that significant problems in these areas will not occur. Any failure to expand these areas and implement and improve, procedures and controls in an efficient manner at a pace consistent with our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our attempts to expand our marketing, sales, manufacturing and customer support efforts will be successful or will result in additional sales or profitability in any future period.

 

We have limited existing brand identity and customer loyalty; if we fail to market our brand to promote our service offerings, our business could suffer.

 

Because of our limited commercialization of our subsidiary products, we currently do not have strong brand identity or brand loyalty. We believe that establishing and maintaining brand identity and brand loyalty is critical to attracting customers once we have a commercially viable product offered by our subsidiaries. In order to attract customers to our subsidiary products, we may be forced to spend substantial funds to create and maintain brand recognition among consumers. We believe that the cost of our sales campaigns could increase substantially in the future. If our branding efforts are not successful, our ability to earn revenues and sustain our operations will be harmed.

 

Promotion and enhancement of our products and services will depend on our success in consistently providing high-quality products and services to our customers.

 

The Angell Family Trust, beneficially owns approximately or has the right to vote on 0.02% of our outstanding Common Stock and 100% of our Series A Preferred Stock, which counts for 83.4% of the total voting rights of the Common Stock before the offering and would retain 29.33% of the total rights of following the sale of the maximum offering of 1,250,000,000 Common shares. As a result, it has and may retain a substantial voting power in all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:

 

· Election of our board of directors;
· Removal of any of our directors;
· Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws;
· Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

 

As a result of its ownership and position, the Angell Family Trust is able to substantially influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, the future prospect of sales of significant amounts of shares held by it could affect the market price of our common stock if the marketplace does not orderly adjust to the increase in shares in the market and the value of your investment in our company may decrease. The Angell Family Trust’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

 

We have a history of operating losses and we will need additional financing to meet our future long-term capital requirements.

 

We have a history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future. As of February 28, 2019, we had negative working capital of $2,497,534 and an accumulated deficit of $5,088,599. We generated a net loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 of $3,734,415. We have not achieved sustainable profitability on an annual basis. We may not be able to reach a level of revenue to achieve profitability. If our revenues grow slower than anticipated, or if operating expenses exceed expectations, then we may not be able to achieve profitability in the near future or at all, which may depress our stock price.

 

We may need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.

 

We may need to obtain additional financing over time to fund operations. Our management cannot predict the extent to which we will require additional financing and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. The rights of the holders of any debt or equity that may be issued in the future could be senior to the rights of common shareholders, and any future issuance of equity could result in the dilution of our common shareholders’ proportionate equity interests in our company. Failure to obtain financing or an inability to obtain financing on unattractive terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operation and financial condition.

Our resources may not be sufficient to manage our potential growth; failure to properly manage our potential growth would be detrimental to our business.

 

We may fail to adequately manage our potential future growth. Any growth in our operations will place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our technical, accounting, finance, marketing and sales staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems. To the extent we acquire businesses, we will also need to integrate and assimilate new operations, technologies and personnel. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, such as if our sales and marketing efforts exceed our capacity to install, maintain and service our products or if new employees are unable to achieve performance levels, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

 

Since inception, the Company has generated minimal revenues and has incurred losses and reported losses for the period from inception through November 30, 2018. Further, we expect to incur a net loss for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of increased operating expenses. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. Our auditors have indicated that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

 

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may be unable to manage rapid growth effectively.

 

Our failure to manage growth effectively could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We anticipate that a period of significant expansion will be required to address possible acquisitions of business, products, or rights, and potential internal growth to handle licensing and research activities. This expansion will place a significant strain on management, operational and financial resources. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we must both improve our existing operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and implement new systems, procedures and controls. We must also expand our finance, administrative, and operations staff. Our current personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not adequately support future operations. Management may be unable to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage necessary personnel or to identify, manage and exploit existing and potential strategic relationships and market opportunities.

 

We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our senior management, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our future performance depends on the continued services and continuing contributions of our senior management to execute our business plan, and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations. The loss of services of senior management, could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives. The loss of the services of senior management for any reason could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may become subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of others, which could prohibit us from developing our products, require us to obtain licenses from third parties or to develop non-infringing alternatives and subject us to substantial monetary damages.

 

Third parties could, in the future, assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us with respect to products we develop. Whether a product infringes a patent or misappropriates other intellectual property involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain. Therefore, we cannot be certain that we have not infringed the intellectual property rights of others. Our potential competitors may assert that some aspect of our product infringes their patents. Because patent applications may take years to issue, there also may be applications now pending of which we are unaware that may later result in issued patents upon which our products could infringe. There also may be existing patents or pending patent applications of which we are unaware upon which our products may inadvertently infringe.

Any infringement or misappropriation claim could cause us to incur significant costs, place significant strain on our financial resources, divert management’s attention from our business and harm our reputation. If the relevant patents in such claim were upheld as valid and enforceable and we were found to infringe them, we could be prohibited from selling any product that is found to infringe unless we could obtain licenses to use the technology covered by the patent or are able to design around the patent. We may be unable to obtain such a license on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and we may not be able to redesign our products to avoid infringement. A court could also order us to pay compensatory damages for such infringement, plus prejudgment interest and could, in addition, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees. These damages could be substantial and could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results. A court also could enter orders that temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoin us and our customers from making, using, or selling products, and could enter an order mandating that we undertake certain remedial activities. Depending on the nature of the relief ordered by the court, we could become liable for additional damages to third parties.

 

A competitor with a stronger or more suitable financial position may enter our marketplace.

 

The success of our business primarily depends on the success our products and their market performance, compared to rival technologies offered by a competitor. If a direct competitor arrives in our market, achieving market acceptance for our services may require additional marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, the availability of which we cannot be assured, to create awareness and demand among customers. We have limited financial, personnel and other resources to undertake additional marketing activities. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to win business from a stronger competitor.

 

Litigation may harm our business.

 

Substantial, complex or extended litigation could cause us to incur significant costs and distract our management. For example, lawsuits by employees, stockholders, collaborators, distributors, customers, competitors or others could be very costly and substantially disrupt our business. Disputes from time to time with such companies, organizations or individuals are not uncommon, and we cannot assure you that we will always be able to resolve such disputes or on terms favorable to us. Unexpected results could cause us to have financial exposure in these matters in excess of recorded reserves and insurance coverage, requiring us to provide additional reserves to address these liabilities, therefore impacting profits.

 

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

U.S. Federal and foreign regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of cannabis laws and regulations and may negatively impact our revenues, or we may be found to be violating the Controlled Substances Act or other U.S. federal, state, or foreign laws.

 

In December 2018, the Farm Bill was signed into law. Under section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of USDA. A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the Secretary of USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally-run program. This system of shared regulatory programming is similar to options states had in other policy areas such as health insurance marketplaces under ACA, or workplace safety plans under OSHA—both of which had federally-run systems for states opting not to set up their own systems. Non-cannabis hemp be a highly regulated crop in the United States for both personal and industrial production.

 

The law outlines actions that are considered violations of federal hemp law (including such activities as cultivating without a license or producing cannabis with more than 0.3 percent THC). The law details possible punishments for such violations, pathways for violators to become compliant, and even which activities qualify as felonies under the law, such as repeated offenses.

 

The Marquie Group will utilize only non-THC ingredients in all its internal, and topical formulas.

 

Section 12619 of the Farm Bill removes hemp-derived products from its Schedule I status under the Controlled Substances Act, but the legislation does not legalize CBD generally. CBD, with some minor exceptions, remains a Schedule I substance under federal law. The Farm Bill ensures that any cannabinoid—a set of chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant—that is derived from hemp will be legal, if and only if that hemp is produced in a manner consistent with the Farm Bill, associated federal regulations, association state regulations, and by a licensed grower. All other cannabinoids, produced in any other setting, remain a Schedule I substance under federal law and are thus illegal.

In October 2018, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) rescheduled drugs approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) which contain CBD derived from cannabis and no more than 0.1 percent tetrahydrocannabinols from Schedule I, the highest level of restriction with a high potential for abuse, to Schedule V, the lowest restriction with the lowest potential for abuse under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). This ruling does not apply to Cannabidiol (“CBD”) products such as oils, tinctures, extracts, and other foods because they are not FDA approved.

 

In October 2018, the FDA was advised by the DEA that removing CBD from the CSA would violate international drug treaties to which the United States is a signatory. Specifically, the DEA explained that the United States would “not be able to keep obligations under the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs if CBD were decontrolled under the CSA”.

 

Consequently, the FDA revised its recommendation and advised the DEA to place CBD in Schedule V—which applies to drugs with demonstrated medical value and deemed unlikely to cause harm, abuse, or addiction—instead. Nonetheless, the FDA declared that “[i]f treaty obligations do not require control of CBD, or the international controls on CBD…are removed at some future time, the above recommendation for Schedule V under the CSA would need to be revisited promptly.”

 

On May 22, 2018, the DEA released the Internal Directive Regarding the Presence of Cannabinoids in Products and Materials Made from the Cannabis Plant, which statesThe mere presence of cannabinoids is not itself dispositive as to whether a substance is within the scope of the CSA; the dispositive question is whether the substance falls within the CSA definition of marijuana.”

 

Many CBD products are derived from cannabis. Some come from marijuana (“Marijuana-CBD”). Marijuana-CBD remains a Schedule I substance. Marijuana-CBD products may be legal under state law in states like Washington, Oregon, and California but their sale is only permitted through a state-regulated marijuana market in the respective state of legal cultivation. Marijuana-CBD products are only legal in states where they were cultivated and these products are heavily regulated at all stages of production, from seed-to-sale. These products come from licensed producers, are developed by licensed processors or manufacturers, and are sold to the public through licensed retailers or dispensaries. Marijuana-CBD products may also contain significant levels of THC.

 

On the other hand, CBD derived from industrial hemp (“Hemp-CBD”) can be argued as falling completely outside the CSA because the cultivation of industrial hemp was legalized by Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the “2014 Farm Bill”). Industrial hemp is defined as the cannabis plant with less than .3% THC. The 2014 Farm Bill also requires that industrial hemp to be cultivated under a state agricultural pilot program. Some states also require a license to cultivate or process industrial hemp into other products like Hemp-CBD.

 

The distribution of Hemp-CBD products is arguably legal under federal law because the 2014 Farm Bill does not explicitly limit distribution. In oral arguments during HIA v. DEA, the DEA admitted that the 2018 Farm Bill preempted the CSA with regards to industrial hemp. The DEA has rarely taken any enforcement action against distributors of Hemp-CBD, in part because Congress has limited the DEA’s ability to use federal funds to do so and because the DEA would have to legally establish that the CSA does in fact cover Hemp-CBD. However, the DEA, FDA, and other federal agencies issued guidance in 2016 stating that the 2014 Farm Bill did not permit the interstate transfer or commercial sale of industrial hemp. Several states like Idaho prohibit the distribution of Hemp-CBD. Other states like Ohio, Michigan, and California significantly restrict the distribution of Hemp-CBD.

 

Even though Hemp-CBD does not fall within the CSA, Hemp-CBD products have not been approved by the FDA. This is also true of Marijuana-CBD. This means that even cannabis derived Marijuana-CBD and Hemp-CBD products containing less than .1% THC are not approved CBD drugs for lack of FDA approval. 

 

There is always some risk of enforcement action against Hemp-CBD distributors, as the budgetary restriction that prevented the DEA from using funds to prosecute industrial hemp distributors expired on September 30, 2018. It is also possible that the FDA could take a more aggressive approach to limit the distribution of CBD products.

 

We may be subject to compliance actions by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for making unsubstantiated claims as to our products efficacy or intended use.

 

On April 2, 2019, outgoing FDA Commissioner Scott Gotlieb issued a statement on the agency’s website, www.fda.gov, pledging the agency will continue to use its authority to take action against companies and product developers which make unproven claims to treat serious or life-threatening diseases, and “where patients may be misled to forgo otherwise effective, available therapy and opt instead for a product that has no proven value or may cause them serious harm.”

The FDA has issued warning letters, in collaboration with the Federal Trade Commission, to three companies – Advanced Spine and Pain LLC (d/b/a Relievus), Nutra Pure LLC and PotNetwork Holdings Inc. – in response to their making unsubstantiated claims related to more than a dozen different products and spanning multiple product webpages, online stores and social media websites. The FDA deemed that companies “used these online platforms to make unfounded, egregious claims about their products' ability to limit, treat or cure cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, autoimmune diseases, opioid use disorder, and other serious diseases, without sufficient evidence and the legally required FDA approval.”

 

Examples of claims made by the companies which have been deemed deceptive marketing by the FDA include CBD’s ability to

 

· Effectively treat substance use disorders
· Reduce the rewarding effects of morphine
· Reduce drug-seeking for heroin
· Avoid or Reduce opiate withdrawal symptoms
· Stop cancer cells in several cervical cancer varieties
· Degrease human glioma cell growth and invasion
· Slow the progression of Alzheimer’s
· Block spinal, peripheral and gastrointestinal mechanisms responsible for pain associated with migraines, fibromyalgia, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

 

The agency has said it may pursue a company making medical claims about products asserting to contain CBD that haven’t been approved by the FDA. The FDA has stated that selling unapproved products with unsubstantiated therapeutic claims can put patients and consumers at risk. The FDA does not believe these products have not been shown to be safe or effective, and deceptive marketing of unproven treatments may keep some patients from accessing appropriate, recognized therapies to treat serious and even fatal diseases. Additionally, because they are not evaluated by the FDA, there may be other ingredients that are not disclosed, which may be harmful.

 

The FDA has pledged to continue to monitor the marketplace and take enforcement action as needed to protect the public health against companies illegally selling CBD products that claim to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure serious diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, psychiatric disorders and diabetes; illegally selling cannabis and cannabis-derived products that can put consumers at risk; and marketing and distributing such products in violation of the FDA’s authorities.

 

Different states and different advertising networks may have their own regulations and restrictions regarding advertising CBD products.

 

Relevant state and local laws may make it difficult to advertise in various markets. The two largest ad buying platforms -- Facebook and Google -- still do not allow CBD advertising (it is designated as a “dangerous product”) on their platforms, which limits the digital marketing efforts of CBD companies to organic marketing. For new businesses, the inability to promote their brand without paid social and search ads makes it extremely challenging to get the qualified traffic needed to grow their online retail business.

 

Additional regulatory considerations that must be taken into account include the Federal Trade Commission’s regulation of unfair and deceptive product labeling and marketing, as well as state law regulation of food safety. States have the authority to regulate matters related to the health and safety of its own citizens, such that the 2018 Farm Bill and regulation by the USDA will not necessarily preempt state or local laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of cannabis-related products that are not directly in conflict with federal law. States may still choose to enact their own laws that can promote or restrict the sale of cannabis-based products. States such as Indiana and Alabama do not permit the sale of CBD oil on a personal level without a prescription.

 

Any and all claims of medicinal value must be substantiated with reputable scientific support and may be subject to evaluation by the FDA.

 

There are limitations to how CBD may be marketed and what potential benefits may be advertised.

 

Any and all claims of medicinal value must be substantiated with reputable scientific support and may be subject to evaluation by the FDA and we may be unable to effectively market our products without proper scientific documentation.

 

In April 2019, outgoing FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb acknowledged that the FDA is considering whether to use its authority to issue regulations that would permit the marketing of CBD in foods or as dietary supplements. However, until the law changes, it is the FDA’s position that selling unapproved products with unsubstantiated therapeutic claims both violates the law and potentially puts patients at risk. Commissioner Gottlieb also asserted that it continues to be unlawful to market foods containing added CBD or THC or dietary supplements containing CBD or THC, regardless of whether the substances are hemp-derived and regardless of the claims

being made. FDA takes this position based on the operation of statutory “exclusionary clauses” in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act related to food additives and dietary supplements. Specifically, FDA has determined that both CBD and THC, which are now active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs, were the subject of substantial clinical investigations before they were marketed as foods or dietary supplements, and due to the operation of the exclusionary clauses, FDA concludes that it is currently illegal to introduce CBD or THC into the food supply or to market these ingredients as dietary supplements.

 

Additional regulatory considerations that must be taken into account include the Federal Trade Commission’s regulation of unfair and deceptive product labeling and marketing, as well as state law regulation of food safety.

 

We are subject to risks relating to legal proceedings.

 

We are subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. Any such litigation could be very costly and could distract our management from focusing on operating our business. The existence of any such litigation could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Results of actual and potential litigation are inherently uncertain. An unfavorable result in a legal proceeding could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and operating results.

 

We will be subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws, as well as export control laws, customs laws, sanctions laws and other laws governing our anticipated operations. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our operations, if initiated, will be subject to certain anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other anti-corruption laws that apply in countries where we do business. The FCPA and other anti-corruption laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We and our commercial partners operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations and we participate in collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under the FCPA or local anti-corruption laws. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

 

We also anticipate becoming subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including regulations administered in the U.S. and in the EU, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions on countries and persons, customs requirements and currency exchange regulations (collectively, “Trade Control Laws”).

 

There can be no assurance that we will be completely effective in ensuring our compliance with all applicable anticorruption laws, including the FCPA or other legal requirements, such as Trade Control Laws. Any investigation of potential violations of the FCPA, other anti-corruption laws or Trade Control Laws by U.S., EU or other authorities could have an adverse impact on our reputation, our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, should we be found not to be in compliance with the FCPA, other anti-corruption laws or Trade Control Laws, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, as well as the accompanying legal expenses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and liquidity, as well as on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The U.S. laws pertaining to the importation and exportation of hemp-based products may adversely affect our ability to fully implement our business plan.

 

In the United States today the U.S. Customs Service has a “zero tolerance standard” for the importation of industrial hemp. What this means is that a product cannot have any potentially dangerous substances contained in it or it will be considered adulterated and unfit for human consumption, and thus illegal to possess or use per U.S. Federal Law. In 2001 the DEA elaborated on this and clarified that any product with any quantity of THC in it at all cannot be imported into the United States. Since no hemp based products containing THC are legally permitted in the United States such products with THC are not allowed to be exported out of the United States either. Because of the strict laws that exist with the U.S. importation and exportation of industrial hemp products our business could be adversely affected. In addition, we have no system in place for evaluating THC levels in our products prior to delivery.

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment, and if we are unable to compete with our competitors, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes all other companies that are in the business of distributing or reselling hemp-based products for personal use or consumption. A highly competitive environment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to sell our products and services.

 

Since the use of cannabis is illegal under federal law, federally chartered banks will not accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with cannabis, even if the end product is non-psychoactive CBD. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry often have trouble finding a bank willing to accept their business. The inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our customers to operate. There does appears to be recent movement to allow state-chartered banks and credit unions to provide banking to the industry, but as of the date of this report there are only nominal entities that have been formed that offer these services. Further, in a February 6, 2018, Forbes article, United States Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, is reported to have testified that his department is “reviewing the existing guidance.” But he clarified that he doesn’t want to rescind it without having an alternate policy in place to address public safety concerns.

 

Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. Despite guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury suggesting it may be possible for financial institutions to provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks remain hesitant to offer banking services to cannabis-related businesses. Consequently, those businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing banking relationships. Our inability to maintain our current bank accounts would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan. Similarly, many of our customers are directly involved in cannabis sales and further restriction to their ability to access banking services may make it difficult for them to purchase our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are subject to certain federal regulations relating to cash reporting.

 

The Bank Secrecy Act, enforced by FinCEN, requires us to report currency transactions in excess of $10,000, including identification of the customer by name and social security number, to the IRS. This regulation also requires us to report certain suspicious activity, including any transaction that exceeds $5,000 that we know, suspect or have reason to believe involves funds from illegal activity or is designed to evade federal regulations or reporting requirements and to verify sources of funds. Substantial penalties can be imposed against us if we fail to comply with this regulation. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, the imposition of a substantial penalty could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations.

 

Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act). The IRS has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.



Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of our Equity Securities

 

The Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

 

The Common Stock has historically been sporadically traded on the OTC Pink Sheets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

Table of Contents 

 

 

The market price for the common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of revenue, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

 

The market for our shares of common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our shares are sporadically traded. Because of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares is sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative investment due to, among other matters, our limited operating history and lack of revenue or profit to date, and the uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the securities of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; acceptance of our inventory of games; government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments and additions or departures of our key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our shares regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our shares will be at any time, including as to whether our shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.

 

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited to:

 

· our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;
· our ability to execute our business plan;
· operating results below expectations;
·

our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof;  

  · announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors
· loss of any strategic relationship;
· industry developments, including, without limitation, changes in healthcare policies or practices;
· economic and other external factors;
· period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and
· whether an active trading market in our common stock develops and is maintained.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Issuers using the Alternative Reporting standard for filing financial reports with OTC Markets are often subject to large volatility unrelated to the fundamentals of the company.

Our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights.

 

We are entitled under our articles of incorporation to issue up to 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock. We have issued and outstanding, as of the date of this prospectus, 52,073,402 shares of common stock. Our board may generally issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or options or warrants to purchase those shares, without further approval by our shareholders based upon such factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is likely that we will be required to issue a large amount of additional securities to raise capital to further our development. It is also likely that we will issue a large amount of additional securities to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensatory grants in connection with their services, both in the form of stand-alone grants or under our stock plans. We cannot give you any assurance that we will not issue additional shares of common stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.

 

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.

 

Anti-takeover provisions may impede the acquisition of our company.

 

Certain provisions of the Nevada General Statutes have anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our board of directors in connection with such a transaction. However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of us, including an acquisition in which the shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.

 

Our yearly financials are independently audited.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. Auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on these financial statements based on their audits. They

conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.

 

The stock market in general, and the shares of early stage companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies involved. If these fluctuations occur in the future, the market price of our shares could fall regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If the market price or volume of our shares suffers extreme fluctuations, then we may become involved in this type of litigation, which would be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources from managing our business.

 

As a public company, we may also from time to time make forward-looking statements about future operating results and provide some financial guidance to the public markets. Our management has limited experience as a management team in a public company and as a result, projections may not be made timely or set at expected performance levels and could materially affect the price of our shares. Any failure to meet published forward-looking statements that adversely affect the stock price could result in losses to investors, stockholder lawsuits or other litigation, sanctions or restrictions issued by the SEC.

Our common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

 

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock if and when such shares are eligible for sale and may cause a decline in the market value of its stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

 

As an issuer not required to make reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, holders of restricted shares may not be able to sell shares into the open market as Rule 144 exemptions may not apply.

 

Under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 holders of restricted shares, may avail themselves of certain exemption from registration is the holder and the issuer meet certain requirements. As a company that is not required to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, referred to as a non-reporting company, we may not, in the future, meet the requirements for an issuer under 144 that would allow a holder to qualify for Rule 144 exemptions. In such an event, holders of restricted stock would have to utilize another exemption from registration or rely on a registration statement to be filed by the Company registered the restricted stock. Currently, the Company has no plans of filing a registration statement with the Commission.

 

Securities analysts may elect not to report on our common stock or may issue negative reports that adversely affect the stock price.

 

At this time, no securities analysts provide research coverage of our common stock, and securities analysts may not elect not to provide such coverage in the future. It may remain difficult for our company, with its small market capitalization, to attract independent financial analysts that will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the stock’s actual and potential market price. The trading market for our common stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts elect to cover our company and then downgrade the stock, the stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which, in turn, could cause our stock price to decline. This could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our capital stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the common stock price appreciates.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We make forward-looking statements under the “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this Offering Circular.  In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business.

Other sections of this Offering Circular describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Offering Circular to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.

 

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

· our business’ strategies and investment policies;
· our business’ financing plans and the availability of capital;
· potential growth opportunities available to our business;
· the risks associated with potential acquisitions by us;
· the recruitment and retention of our officers and employees;
· our expected levels of compensation;

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Offering Circular.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Company plans to use the proceeds from this offering to grow its business. The company intends to use the proceeds for research and development, the purchase of inventory, website development, marketing, operating capital, hiring staff and offering expenses. The more we are able to raise, the more we will be able to invest in these opportunities. Since this offering is on a best efforts basis, the amount of securities we sell is uncertain, therefore our use of proceeds will depend on how much we are able to raise under this offering. We intend to use the proceeds generally so as to provide the most value to our investors by growing sales of our existing products and entering markets with new products we are able to successfully develop.

Table of Contents 

 

The following Use of Proceeds is based on estimates made by management. The Company planned the Use of Proceeds after deducting estimated offering expenses estimated to be $25,000. Management prepared the milestones based on three levels of offering raise success: 25% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($2,475,000), 50% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($4,975,000), 75% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($7,475,000) and the Maximum Offering proceeds raised of $10,000,000 through the offering. The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in all our budgeted scenarios and management is responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum.

 

Although we have no minimum offering, we have calculated used of proceeds such that if we raise 25% of the offering is budgeted to sustain operations for a twelve-month period. 25% of the Maximum Offering is sufficient to keep the Company current with its public listing status costs with prudently budgeted funds remaining which will be sufficient to complete the development of our marketing package. If the Company were to raise 50% of the Maximum Offering, then we would be able to expand our marketing outside the US. Raising the Maximum Offering will enable the Company to implement our full business. If we begin to generate profits, we plan to increase our marketing and sales activity accordingly.

DILUTION

 

Purchasers of our common stock in this Offering will experience an immediate dilution of net tangible book value per share from the public offering price. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of shares of common stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after this Offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.

 

Overview

 

The Marquie Group, Inc. (“TMGI” or “The Company”) (TMGI: OTC) was, prior to August 2018, The Music of Your Life, a multi-media entertainment company that produced live radio programming 24 hours a day, syndicated to AM, FM and HD terrestrial radio stations around the country. The network is also heard in more than 50 countries streaming over the Internet. Music of Your Life® has been on the air since 1978, making it the longest running syndicated music radio network in the world.

 

On August 16, 2018 (see Note 7), the Company merged with The Marquie Group, Inc. (“TMG”) in exchange for the issuance of a

total of 40,000,002 shares of our common stock to TMG’s stockholders. Following the merger, the Company had 40,912,865 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On December 5, 2018, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation providing for a change in the Company’s name from “Music of Your Life, Inc.” to “The Marquie Group, Inc.” On February 22, 2018 our FINRA symbol changed from “MYLI” to “TMGI.”

 

The Marquie Group, Inc. was founded by Jacquie Carter, former Executive Director of Worldwide Training and Education at Herbalife Nutrition. During her 18 years with Herbalife, Jacquie created and launched over 60 products worldwide, which have accumulated more than $1-billion in sales.

Internet Licensing has transformed the advertising landscape in a way that is detrimental to advertising sales for terrestrial radio. In response to this, Music of Your Life and the Company began to explore developing a product line to be marketed through radio spots on the Company’s syndicated radio programming. At the same time the Company was in an exploratory phase of developing amino-acid-based health and beauty care products. Music of Your Life merged into the Company though Share Exchange Agreement in August 2018.

 

The Company is currently developing a direct-to-consumer, health and beauty products platform that use innovative formulations of plant-based, amino-acid and CBD alternatives to chemical ingredients with the objective of launching them over the Music of Your Life radio network using its three network advertising minutes per hour in order maximize net market return from the products.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Revenues

 

The Company generated net revenues of $4,469 and $4,168 during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues were generated from spot sales, digital sales and subscription-based sales from the live radio programming through radio stations around the country.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Our cost of sales were $-0- for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018. Our cost of sales in the future will consist principally of licensing costs and royalties associated with our syndicated radio network, other related services provided directly or outsourced through our affiliates, as well as operational and staffing costs with respect thereto.

 

Salaries and Consulting Fees

 

Salaries and consulting fees were $239,000 (including stock-based compensation of $41,000) and $250,696 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our multi-media entertainment business.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees were $60,773 and $54,121 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.

 

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $104,752 and $50,582 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We anticipate that SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.

 

Expenses which comprise the costs of goods sold will include licensing agreements and royalties, as well as operational and staffing costs related to the management of the Company’s syndicated network. General and administrative expenses are comprised of administrative wages and benefits; occupancy and office expenses; outside legal, accounting and other professional fees; travel and other miscellaneous office and administrative expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include selling/marketing wages and benefits, advertising and promotional expenses, as well as travel and other miscellaneous related expenses.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

The Company had net other expenses of $3,334,359 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 compared to net other income of $67,254 for the nine months ended February 28, 2018. During the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, the company recorded a loss on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $1,635,356 and $341,606, respectively. Other expenses incurred were comprised of interest expenses related to notes payable in the amount of $344,376 and $274,352, which included the amortization of debt discounts of $200,925 and $148,556, during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the nine months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest in the amount of $1,354,627 based on difference between the fair market value of the stock at issuance and the amount of notes payable and accrued interest converted.

Because we have incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial. No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carryforwards, given our uncertainty of being able to utilize such loss carryforwards in future years. We anticipate incurring additional losses during the coming year.

 

Liquidity And Capital Resources

 

As of February 28, 2019, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $127,841 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold our cash reserves in a major United States bank. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.

 

We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at February 28, 2019 of $4,387,280 and $8,032,209, respectively, which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We generated a net loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 of $3,734,415. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.

 

We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.

 

We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. There is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.

 

Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended February 28, 2019 we used $302,209 of cash in operating activities. Non-cash adjustments included $41,000 from stock-based compensation, $2,490 from depreciation of music inventory, expense of $1,635,356 from derivative liability, amortization of debt discounts of $202,925, and a totaling loss on conversion of notes payable and accrued interest totaling $1,354,627.

 

Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended February 28, 2019, we used $2,350 in investment activities, compared to $325 for the nine months ended February 29, 2018. These were directly related to trademark costs.

 

Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended February 28, 2019 we received $432,395 from financing activities, consisting of $456,000 in proceeds from notes payable and $1,505 net proceeds from notes payable to a related party. In this same period there was $40,500 in initial derivative liability charged to debt discounts, $32,135 from conversion of debt and accrued interest into common stock, and $4,000 from common stock issued for merger between Music of Your Life and The Marquie Group.

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

For the nine months ended February 28, 2019 the Company issued an aggregate of 40,000,002 shares of common stock for the merger of The Marquie Group, Inc. See Note 7 in the notes to the financial statements.

 

During the nine months ended February 28, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 16,787,266 shares of common stock for the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $145,480 

 

On October 16, 2018, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to the consulting firm entity discussed in Note 8 for services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements included in our May 31, 2018 Form 10-K. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. 

 

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited 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 these estimates. Significant estimates during the fiscal quarter ending November 30, 2018 and the year ended May 31, 2019 include the useful lives of website development cost, beneficial conversion of convertible notes payable, the valuation of derivative liabilities and the valuation of stock-based compensation.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows ASC 605-10 “Revenue Recognition” and recognizes revenue when all the conditions for revenue recognition are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) collection of the fee is probable, (iii) the sales price is fixed and determinable and (iv) services have been rendered.

 

The Company reports its revenue at gross amounts in accordance with ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations” because it is responsible for fulfillment of the service, has substantial latitude in setting price, assumes the credit risk and it is responsible for the payment of all obligations incurred for legal and debt collection fees. The Company bears the credit risks if it does not collect the settlement fees and will be responsible to pay for fees including, but not limited to, court filing fees, collection fees, travel costs, deposition reporter, video, and transcript fees, expert fees and expenses, investigation costs, messenger and process service fees, computer-assisted legal research fees, document duplication and/or imaging expenses, electronic-data vendor fees, and any fees or costs that a court may order to pay to a party or third party.

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, for the embedded conversion options that were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the convertible Debentures, along with any free-standing derivative instruments and recorded derivative liabilities on their issuance date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative liabilities.

Company History

 

The Company was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida, as ZhongSen International Tea Company, with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd. However, due to lack of capital, the Company was unable to implement its business plan fully. On May 31, 2013, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger”) with Music of Your Life, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYL Nevada”). As a result of the Merger, MYL Nevada is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company is now operating a multi-media entertainment company, producing television shows and radio programming. The Company changed its name to Music of Your Life, Inc. effective July 26, 2013.

Internet Licensing has transformed the advertising landscape in a way that is detrimental to advertising sales for terrestrial radio. In response to this, Music of Your Life and the Company began to explore developing a product line to be marketed through radio spots on the Company’s syndicated radio programming. At the same time the Company was in an exploratory phase of developing amino-acid-based health and beauty care products. The Music of Your Life merged into the Company though Share Exchange Agreement in August 2018.

Nutritive Benefits of CBD

 

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating found in the cannabis plant. After tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is the second-most abundant cannabinoid in the plant, and there is a rapidly emerging market for CBD due to its both its potential and its purported therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety and seizure-suppressant properties. Cannabidiol can be sourced from hemp plants, allowing for safe and regulated production. While CBD is gaining public attention for potential medicinal applications (is the active ingredient in Epidolex, which was recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of severe forms of epilepsy), our products are not intended to treat or cure any disease. We intend to utilize the nutritive aspects of CBD in our formulas to provide a more effective product. Please see our Risk Factors for a discussion of limits placed on claims made by businesses regarding the efficacy of CBD.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Nevada law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate (with a few exceptions) the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors.  Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under Nevada law, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as the case may be.  Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.  We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers, employees and agents for some liabilities.  We currently maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in the performance of their duties

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.  These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.  In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to the indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

 

There is currently no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2019. 

 

Organization

 

Music of Your Life, Inc. (hereafter, “we”, “our”, “us”, “MYL”, or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida, as ZhongSen International Tea Company, with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd. However, due to lack of capital, the Company was unable to implement its business plan fully. On May 31, 2013, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger”) with Music of Your Life, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYL Nevada”). As a result of the Merger, MYL Nevada is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company is now operating a multi-media entertainment company, producing television shows and radio programming. The Company changed its name to Music of Your Life, Inc. effective July 26, 2013. 

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

Effective June 20, 2018, the Company effectuated a 1 share for 4,000 shares reverse stock split which reduced the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 3,642,441,577 shares to 912,863 shares. The accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

Acquisition of The Marquie Group, Inc.

 

On August 16, 2018 (see Note 7), the Company merged with The Marquie Group, Inc. (“TMG”) in exchange for the issuance of a total of 40,000,002 shares of our common stock to TMG’s stockholders. Following the merger, the Company had 40,912,865 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On December 5, 2018, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation providing for a change in the Company’s name from “Music of Your Life, Inc.” to “The Marquie Group, Inc.”

 

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

 

During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company loaned $174,950 to the Company’s current chief executive in anticipation of the merger agreement described in Note 1. The loans are non-interest bearing and due on demand. Effective May 31, 2015, the Company agreed to waive collection of $100,000 of the remaining $115,950 loans receivable balance in exchange for the chief executive officer’s agreement to waive payment of the $100,000 accrued consulting fees balance due him at May 31, 2015 (see Note 8). As of February 28, 2019, the balance due on this loan was $15,950.

The above convertible notes contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes is indeterminate. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features as a derivative liability at the respective issuance dates of the notes and charged the applicable amounts to debt discounts and the remainder to other expense. The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective issuance dates of the notes to the measurement dates is charged (credited) to other expense (income). The fair value of the derivative liability of the notes is measured at the respective issuance dates and quarterly thereafter using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

 

Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability of the notes at February 28, 2019 include (1) stock price of $0.085 per share, (2) exercise prices ranging from $0.0103 to $0.0262 per share, (3) terms ranging from -0- days to 292 days, (4) expected volatility of 756% and (5) risk free interest rates ranging from 2.31% to 2.58%.

 

Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability of the notes at May 31, 2018 include (1) stock price of $0.0001 per share ($0.40 per share adjusted for the June 20, 2018 1 share for 4,000 shares reverse stock split, (2) exercise prices ranging from $0.00004 to $0.00006 per share ($0.16 to $0.24 per share adjusted for the June 20, 2018 1 share for 4,000 shares reverse stock split, (3) terms ranging from 0 days to 278 days, (4) expected volatility of 527% and (5) risk free interest rates ranging from 1.76% to 2.23%.

 

NOTE 7 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

On October 3, 2016, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 shares and to change the par value of both the common stock and preferred stock from $0.001 per share to $0.0001 per share.

NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At February 28, 2019, the Company had negative working capital of $2,497,534 and an accumulated deficit of $5,088,599. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

To date the Company has funded its operations through a combination of loans and sales of common stock. The Company anticipates another net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.

 

The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of notes payable and additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

From March 1, 2019 to April 4, 2019, the Company issued a total of 19,787,804 shares of its common stock for the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $66,277. The $197,619 excess of the $265,997 fair value of the 19,787,804 shares at the dates of conversion over the $68,378 of debt satisfied will be charged to “Loss on conversion of notes payable and accrued interest” in the three months ended May 31, 2019.

 

On March 4, 2019, the Company received $67,500 from EMA Financial, LLC as net loan proceeds of a $75,000 10% convertible note due November 13, 2019. The default interest rate on the note is 24%. The note is convertible at the option of the lender into shares of the Company common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the closing sale price on the trading day immediately preceding the issue date and (ii) 50% of either the lowest sale price during the 20 trading days including and immediately preceding the conversion date, or the closing bid price, whichever is lower.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to future events or our future performance. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

We are a multi-media entertainment company that currently produces live radio programming 24 hours a day, syndicated to AM, FM and HD terrestrial radio stations around the country. The network is also heard streaming across the Internet using our registered trademark, iRadio®. Music of Your Life® has been on the air since 1978, making it the longest running syndicated music radio network in the world. Our principal source of revenue comes from selling radio spots, or commercials on the network, and licensing our trade names. Expenses which comprise the costs of goods sold will include licensing agreements and royalties, as well as operational and staffing costs related to the management of the Company’s syndicated network. General and administrative expenses are comprised of administrative wages and benefits; occupancy and office expenses; outside legal, accounting and other professional fees; travel and other miscellaneous office and administrative expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include selling/marketing wages and benefits, advertising and promotional expenses, as well as travel and other miscellaneous related expenses.

 

Because we have incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial. No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carryforwards, given our uncertainty of being able to utilize such loss carryforwards in future years. We anticipate incurring additional losses during the coming year.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018.

 

Revenues. The Company generated net revenues of $1,496 and $931 during the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company generated net revenues of $4,469 and $4,168 during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues were generated from spot sales, digital sales and subscription-based sales from the live radio programming through radio stations around the country.

 

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales were $-0- for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018. Our cost of sales in the future will consist principally of licensing costs and royalties associated with our syndicated radio network, other related services provided directly or outsourced through our affiliates, as well as operational and staffing costs with respect thereto.

 

Salaries and Consulting Fees. Salaries and consulting fees were $71,500 and $113,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Salaries and consulting fees were $239,000 (including stock-based compensation of $41,000) and $250,696 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our multi-media entertainment business.

 

Professional Fees. Professional fees were $20,578 and $14,752 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Professional fees were $60,773 and $54,121 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.

 

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $71,714 and $18,436 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $104,752 and $50,582 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We anticipate that SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.

 

Other Income (Expenses). The Company had net other expenses of $1,722,989 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to net other expenses of $225,251 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The Company had net other expenses of $3,334,359 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 compared to net other income of $67,254 for the nine months ended February 28, 2018. During the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, the company recorded a loss on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $1,635,356 and $341,606, respectively. Other expenses incurred were

comprised of interest expenses related to notes payable in the amount of $344,376 and $274,352, which included the amortization of debt discounts of $200,925 and $148,556, during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the nine months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest in the amount of $1,354,627 based on difference between the fair market value of the stock at issuance and the amount of notes payable and accrued interest converted.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of February 28, 2019, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $127,841 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold our cash reserves in a major United States bank. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.

 

We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at February 28, 2019 of $4,387,280 and $8,032,209, respectively, which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We generated a net loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 of $3,734,415. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.

 

We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.

 

We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. There is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business, and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements included in our May 31, 2018 Form 10-K. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. 

 

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

We have reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the past two years and have adopted any that are applicable to the Company. We have determined that none had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the periods presented in this report.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (“SPE”s).

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses (such as the absence of an audit committee and absence of qualified independent directors) in its internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

On October 16, 2018, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to the consulting firm entity discussed in Note 8 for services.

 

With respect to the transactions noted above, each of the recipients of securities of the Company was an accredited investor, or is considered by the Company to be a “sophisticated person”, inasmuch as each of them has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of receiving securities of the Company.

The Company believes that the issuance of its securities as described above was exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
