An offering statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Preliminary Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the offering statement filed with the Commission is qualified. This Preliminary Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor may there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. We may elect to satisfy our obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale to you that contains the URL where the Final Offering Circular or the offering statement in which such Final Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.

 

Preliminary Offering Circular October 17, 2016

 

SHIFTPIXY, INC.

 

$15,000,000 MINIMUM OFFERING AMOUNT (1,875,000) SHARES OF COMMON STOCK)

$50,000,000 MAXIMUM OFFERING AMOUNT (6,250,000) SHARES OF COMMON STOCK)

  

This is the initial public offering of securities of ShiftPixy, Inc., a Wyoming corporation. We are offering a minimum of 1,875,000 and a maximum of 6,250,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 ("Common Stock") at an offering price of $8.00 per share (the "Offered Shares"). This offering will terminate on ___________, 2016, subject to extension for up to thirty (30) days with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriter, as defined below; provided that, if we have received and accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Offered Shares on or before ___________, 2016, or the end of the thirty (30) day extension, if exercised, then the Company will close on the minimum offering amount (the  "Initial Closing")  and this offering will continue until the earlier of (i) the date which is sixty (60) days after the Initial Closing or (ii) the date on which the maximum offering amount is sold (such earlier date, the "Termination Date"). If, on the Initial Closing date, we have sold less than the maximum number of Offered Shares, then we will hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the earlier of: (i) the sale of the maximum number of Offered Shares or (ii) the Termination Date. Until we achieve the minimum offering amount, the proceeds for the offering will be kept in an escrow account. Upon achievement of the minimum offering amount and the closing on such amount, the proceeds from the minimum offering amount will be distributed to the Company and the associated Offered Shares will be issued to the investors in such Offered Shares. If the offering does not close for any reason, the proceeds for the offering will be promptly returned to investors, without deduction and generally without interest.  Jumpstart Securities, LLC will serve as the escrow agent and will retain up to $5,000 of interest accrued from funds deposited in the escrow account as partial compensation for serving as escrow agent. The minimum purchase requirement per investor is 100 Offered Shares ($800); however, we can waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion.

   

We have engaged W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC as the underwriter (the "Underwriter") to offer the Offered Shares to prospective investors on a best efforts basis, and our Underwriter will have the right to engage such other broker-dealers or agents as it determines to assist in the offering. We expect to commence the sale of the Offered Shares as of the date on which the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part (the "Offering Statement") is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We will apply to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "PIXY." In connection with our application, we expect to consummate a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio to be determined prior to qualification of our Common Stock. We expect our Common Stock to begin trading NASDAQ following the Termination Date.

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page  11 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements under "Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Our Business" and elsewhere in this Offering Circular constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "should," "will" and "would" or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Offering Circular, including in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 

·

Changes in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare" (the "ACA");

 

·

Our ability to successfully develop material revenue streams from contracts to provide workers primarily for part-time shift work clients with large contingent part-time workforce demands, primarily in the restaurant, hospitality and maintenance service trades;

 

·

Our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, particularly given that our auditors' report for our 2015 consolidated financial statements, which are included as part of this Offering Circular, contains a statement concerning our ability to continue as a "going concern";

 

·

Our ability to effectively execute our business plan;

 

·

Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses;

 

·

Our ability to attract, retain and generate revenue from part-time shift work clients with large contingent part-time workforce demands;

 

·

The effect of disruptions in or impairments to our ability to use our computer programs used to manage our business;

 

·

Our ability to retain and grow our customer base;

 

·

Our ability to enter into, sustain and renew customer arrangements on favorable terms;

 

·

Our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics;

 

·

Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry;

 

·

Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior; and

 

 

·

Our ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations, taking into account all information currently available to us, we cannot guarantee future transactions, results, performance, achievements or outcomes. No assurance can be made to any investor by anyone that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will be attained, or that deviations from them will not be material and adverse. We undertake no obligation, other than as maybe be required by law, to re-issue this Offering Circular or otherwise make public statements updating our forward-looking statements.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. You should carefully read the entire Offering Circular, including the risks associated with an investment in the company discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. Some of the statements in this Offering Circular are forward-looking statements. See the section entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

 

Company Information

 

We were initially incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on June 3, 2015. We formed Shift Human Capital Management Inc., d/b/a/ ShiftableHR, a wholly-owned subsidiary, in December 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1 Venture, Suite 150, Irvine, CA 92618, and our telephone number is (888) 798-9100. Our website address is www.shiftpixy.com. We do not incorporate the information on or accessible through our website into this Offering Circular, and you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through, our website a part of this Offering Circular.

 

Our Business

 

The Company is a leading provider of employment law compliance solutions for employers and workers in an environment in which shift or other part-time/temporary positions, commonly called "gigs," are performed. In what is now being called the Gig Economy, businesses such as those in our current target market in the restaurant and hospitality industries contract with independent workers for less than full-time engagements primarily in the form of shift work. The trend toward a Gig Economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be less than full time independent contractors.

 

A significant problem for employers in the Gig Economy is compliance with new regulations imposed by ACA as well as worker's compensation and other traditional employment compliance issues.This problem has become greater as employers cut workers hours below 30 hours/week to avoid mandatory ACA health insurance requirements for all workers.

 

For Gig/Shift Workers, whom we also call "Shifters," the significant problem is difficulty in finding other jobs/gigs to replace hours lost when their employers reduce their hours and make them less than full-time employees.

 

We believe ShiftPixy has the ideal solution for both of these groups and each of their problems via a service offering that entails two principal elements (that we refer to collectively as our "Ecosystem") as follows:

 

 

·

ShiftPixy Employer Solution: ShiftPixy absorbs the employer's Shifters as ShiftPixy Employees and makes those employees available to the former employer to work the same jobs, as employees of ShiftPixy.

 

 

·

ShiftPixy Shifter Solution: Shifters placed with one of ShiftPixy's clients can now access other shift work with other ShiftPixy clients, ultimately through the new ShiftPixy mobile app a prototype of which was released in September 2016. When released to the general public, anticipated to be in the first quarter of 2017, the ShiftPixy mobile app will enable not only ShiftPixy shift employees but also ultimately shift employees outside the ShiftPixy Ecosystem, many of them millennials who connect to the outside world solely through mobile devices, to access available shift jobs at all ShiftPixy clients.

 

As part of our marketing strategy, we are also now onboarding clients in a traditional staffing company model through our wholly-owned subsidiary ShiftableHR, and we intend to migrate these companies to the new nextGEN ShiftPixy Solution. In addition, we are joining the hot topic dialogue currently going on in the nextGEN Gig Economy about companies such as Uber and others who have been targeted by plaintiff's attorneys and government agencies for allegedly mischaracterizing employees as independent contractors. We believe that our ShiftPixy business model is a perfect solution for these companies, because we embrace the compliance obligations associated with being an employer.

ShiftPixy currently operates in Los Angeles/Southern California, and has a modest staff in Phoenix, but it plans to open the following additional physical offices upon completion of our offering, assuming we raise the maximum offering. If we raise less than the maximum offering, we will roll out these offices in the following order:

 

·

First, New York and then Orlando;

·

Next, after the above cities are open, Dallas and then Chicago;

·

Finally, after all the above cities are open, Las Vegas and then Atlanta.

 

These markets collectively account for or allow us to cover approximately 53% of our target market in the restaurant/hospitality sector. (Statistics of US Businesses Employment and Payroll 2012; US Census Bureau).

 

ShiftPixy and its subsidiary collectively currently serve an aggregate of approximately 253 clients and with an aggregate of approximately 4,067  worksite employees. Additionally , we provide only payroll administration services to 933 employees. None of these clients represents more than 10% of our annualized revenues for fiscal year 2016.

  

ShiftPixy's anticipated business and revenue growth in the nextGEN Gig Economy will result from the following factors:

 

·

Large Potential Market. There is a large potential market for ShiftPixy's services. Current statistics show that there are over 7.2 million employees in restaurants that employ more than 50 employees. There are close to 5.1 million employed in the hospitality industry by employers that have over 50 employees. (Both from Statistics of US Businesses Employment and Payroll 2012; US Census Bureau). Most restaurant establishments have a 90% Shifter/variable hour worker and 10% full-time worker ratio. (National Restaurant Association website "Facts at a Glance")

·

ACA's Significant Impact on Current and Potential New Clients. ShiftPixy's current and potential new clients are being significantly impacted by new requirements to provide employees health care coverage under the ACA, the relevant portions of which, with respect to impacting our existing and potential future clients, became effective January 1, 2015.

 

·

If a potential client in our target market of the restaurant, hospitality and maintenance service business has 50 or more full-time equivalent employees, under the ACA it must offer benefits to full-time employees, a very expensive proposition.

 

·

Determining compliance requirements for industries such as restaurant, hospitality and maintenance service business which employ many part time workers is very challenging.

·

Failure to offer coverage if required under the ACA can result in significant fines and other penalties.

·

Mitigation of ACA and other Insurance Compliance Risks. ShiftPixy mitigates ACA healthcare and other types of employee required insurance compliance risks, such as workers' compensation, by absorbing a client's current and future workforce, including part-time employees, and making them employees of ShiftPixy and not the employer client. In addition to mitigating risk, ShiftPixy also provides cost containment and cost savings benefits to its clients using our services. ShiftPixy also eliminates worry about whether an employer client is misclassifying employees as independent contractors.

·

Marketing Advantages from Strategic Insurance Provider Relationships. ShiftPixy receives marketing assistance from representatives of the insurance carriers it uses for its own employees, who introduce ShiftPixy to their insurance clients with potential ACA and other employee insurance compliance requirements and who are not aware of the benefits provided by retaining ShiftPixy.

·

New ShiftPixy mobile app is Designed to Provide Additional Benefits to Employers and NextGen Shift Workers. Mindful that most of its Shifters will be millennials who connect with the outside world primarily through a mobile device, ShiftPixy is poised to significantly expand its business through the ShiftPixy mobile app, a prototype of which was launched in September 2016. The ShiftPixy mobile app is a proprietary application downloaded to mobile devices allowing ShiftPixy Shifters to access shift work opportunities at all of ShiftPixy’s clients, not just their current restaurant or hospitality provider, and with an added feature  anticipated  to be available in early 2017, also allowing shift employees not working at its clients to access shift work opportunities at all of its clients.

·

Ultimate Development of a ShiftPixy Ecosystem. ShiftPixy's ultimate goal is to establish the first ecosystem for employers with a large number of part time workers such as restaurants and hospitality businesses and the ever-growing number of shift workers in the new "Gig Economy." In a "Gig Economy," part-time/temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements. The goal of the ecosystem is to allow the job provider to be agile but compliant and the shift worker to manage and scale opportunity and income.

 

The Problem: There are significant staffing management and compliance challenges and significant financial risks of non-compliance presented by ACA to our target market of middle-tier (100 – 500 employees) restaurant and hospitality business.

 

The ACA presents significant staffing management challenges to this target market with many shift workers. With a majority of the personnel working between 28 to 35 hours as part time or variable hour employees (National Business Group on Health statement to U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, January 2014) and with the turnover rates most of these establishments experience, there are operational, reporting, employee tracking and cost concerns that we believe many of these businesses are not prepared to deal with. Because ACA compliance is a new experience for these businesses, many employers in these sectors are still not aware of or concerned with the size of the storm that ACA compliance-related penalties, reporting requirements, and increased cost really is. We believe this lack of preparedness and planning may overwhelm them in the years to come.

 

The ACA compliance requirements for employers in this sector are daunting. Employers who have a difficult time managing the fast pace of the restaurant and hospitality environment are now subjected to tracking employee hours with employees becoming eligible for benefits at various times in the year as well as having to be more precise with scheduling so that employees don't exceed the 30-hour threshold which makes them full-time employees eligible for benefits under the ACA.

 

If a restaurant or hospitality business has 50 or more full-time equivalent employees, under the ACA it must offer benefits to full-time employees. This requires employers to manage and monitor carefully the number of hours worked by each employee and have a system that can give them real-time information on variable hour/shift employees that suddenly become eligible for coverage under the ACA. Failure to offer eligible employees a minimum essential benefit under the ACA results significant fines.

The complexity of compliance and the significant financial risk for non-compliance is shown in the following example using calculations based upon Healthcare.gov, IRS Notice 2015-87:

 

·

Assume a restaurant has 120 employees, of which 45 meet the definition of full-time employees and the remainder do not and are considered part-time employees (Under the ACA rules, generally an employee is considered full-time if he or she is reasonably expected to work on average at least 30 hours per week, or 120 hours per month.)

·

Next, the restaurant must determine whether it has 50 or more full-time equivalent employees. We start with the 45 actual full-time employees. We then add the additional equivalent full-time employees. The number of equivalent full-time employees, which is done by taking the hours worked by all part-time employees in a week and dividing that by 30. For our example we assume that all part-time employees work 25 hours per week, but if they all work different total hours under 30 hours per week, one can see how this calculation becomes more complex for the restaurant. We start by multiplying the 25 hours per week by the total number of part time employees. 25 hours X 75 part-time employees = 1875. Now we have to divide this number by 30, and we get 63 equivalent full-time employees.

·

The restaurant then has 108 equivalent full-time employees under the ACA and thus the employer to offer its 45 actual full-time employees minimum essential coverage.

·

Assume the restaurant fails to offer its 45 full-time employees minimum essential coverage. What is the penalty?

·

The penalty is $2,160 per full-time employees (minus 30).

·

So what's the total penalty? $ 32,400 ($2,160 X 15) a very significant amount determined after a very complex calculation.

 

The calculation above is correct based upon the assumptions about the employer in this example. However, because this is a very complex area, penalties may vary if there are different assumptions about an employer, such as having seasonal workers as defined in IRS or ACA regulations. This is just how complex the issue is: Seasonal workers are taken into account in determining the number of full-time employees. However, if an employer's workforce exceeds 50 full-time employees (including full-time equivalents) for 120 days or fewer during a calendar year, and the employees in excess of 50 who were employed during that period of no more than 120 days were seasonal workers, the employer is not considered an applicable large employer. Seasonal workers are workers who perform labor or services on a seasonal basis as defined by the Secretary of Labor, and retail workers employed exclusively during holiday seasons. For this purpose, employers may apply a reasonable, good faith interpretation of the term "seasonal worker."

 

To add to the complexity there are other kinds of penalties. If the restaurant offered a minimum essential plan but it did not meet the requirements of minimum value as defined by ACA, the restaurant would incur a $3,240 penalty for any employee that applies for a subsidy.

 

It is just this kind of complexity that is solved by an employer retaining ShiftPixy.

The ShiftPixy Solution: ShiftPixy is developing an ecosystem comprised of a closed proprietary operating and processing system that helps restaurant or hospitality businesses as well as shift workers by matching available shifts with available shift workers. The ShiftPixy ecosystem provides the following benefits:

 

1.

Compliance: ShiftPixy assumes all of a restaurant or hospitality group’s ACA and other employment regulatory compliance issues by having all of client Shifter employees become employees of ShiftPixy. As the employer of the Shifters, ShiftPixy contracts with the ShiftPixy clients to staff their shift employee requirements. As these employees are no longer employees of the ShiftPixy client, all of the ACA and other employment regulatory compliance reporting, tracking and compliance responsibility becomes that of ShiftPixy and not the ShiftPixy client. Similarly, employee vs. independent contractor classification issues, worker's compensation and other such employee law and regulation compliance issues become the responsibility of ShiftPixy rather than of the ShiftPixy client. Thus, under the ShiftPixy solution, ShiftPixy clients benefit not only from having the time previously spent on these ACA and other employment compliance issues now available to grow their business but also from keeping a staff of Shifters, familiar with the client’s operations, working at the client’s facility, albeit as employees of ShiftPixy. ShiftPixy clients can now focus their energy on the success of their business with assurance that their ACA and other employment regulatory compliance issues are being addressed by ShiftPixy.

  

As an additional benefit, the services ShiftPixy provides actually advance the objective of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to assure access by more Americans to affordable health insurance in the following respects:

 

 

·

Increases the number of Shifters working more than 30 hours per week that have ACA required health insurance coverage. Businesses with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees are exempt from ACA requirements and their employees do not have to be offered health insurance. ShiftPixy itself has more than 50 full-time employees and as such it offers all of its employees who work 30 or more hours per week access to an ACA compliant health insurance plan, regardless of the number of employees providing services in employment to a particular client, Thus, even if a ShiftPixy client has fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees, as the client’s employees have become ShiftPixy employees and now receive ACA compliant health insurance from ShiftPixy, more Shifters receive ACA compliant health insurance as a result of the services offered by ShiftPixy.

 

·

Increases the opportunity for Shifters previously working less than 30 hours per week to increase their hours worked as ShiftPixy employees to more than 30 hours per weekand thus receive ACA required health insurance coverage. ShiftPixy's services further advance the ACA objective of providing workers with access to affordable health care coverage by making it easier for Shifters to be able to work more than 30 hours per week and thus become eligible for ShiftPixy’s ACA compliant health insurance:

 

·

As ShiftPixy clients no longer have to provide ACA health insurance coverage, there is no incentive for these clients to cap working hours we have seen happen in many restaurant and hospitality businesses responding to the mandate. ShiftPixy clients are free to offer Shifters more than 30 hours work per week. When they do so then as ShiftPixy employees, such Shifters not only gain access to ACA compliant health insurance through ShiftPixy but they also have an additional benefit of making more money by being able to work more hours.

 

·

In addition, the ShiftPixy ecosystem also makes it easier for Shifters to work more than 30 hours per week because Shifters have the chance to work not just for their existing restaurant but also for all other restaurant clients in the ShiftPixy ecosystem. In addition, the ShiftPixy Mobile app further facilitates this mobility by making it easier for Shifters to find additional shift hours on their tablets or phones, which is how most NextGen Shifters connect to the outside world today. By being able gain additional shifts at other ShiftPixy client worksites through becoming part of the ShiftPixy ecosystem and particularly through this unique and powerful app, Shifters can more easily bring themselves across the 30 hours per week threshold, thereby entitling them to ACA mandated health insurance coverage through ShiftPixy.

2.

Cost Containment: By having access to ShiftPixy's entire part-time workforce the employer is able to scale up or down more rapidly, making it easier to contain operational cost. The two largest costs for a restaurant are food and labor. (National Restaurant Association "Restaurant Operations Report 2013-2014) ShiftPixy charges a fixed percentage on wages that allows the employer to budget and plan more effectively without all of the threats of penalties or missteps in dealing with ACA.

 

3.

Cost Savings: ShiftPixy is able to use economy of scale in purchasing other employer related requirements such as worker's compensation and other benefit costs and in general can provide an employer a shifter at a lower cost than the employer can staff that same employee for.

 

ShiftPixy and its subsidiary currently serve an aggregate of approximately 253 clients, of which 97 were just acquired in October 2016 through a new sales agency agreement reached in its ordinary course of business, and with an aggregate of approximately 4,067 worksite employees. Additionally, we provide only payroll administration services to 933 employees. None of these clients represents more than 10% of our annualized revenues for fiscal year 2016. Although one client constituted all of our revenue during the period from inception (June 3, 2015) through August 31, 2015, none of these clients represents more than 10% of our annualized revenues for fiscal year 2016. A client is a business paying us to provide employees or employee services. We are currently focused on one kind of client being restaurant and food service operators. All have written client agreements. The basic client agreement is the same for all clients, with minor modifications to fit each client's specific situation. The current form of Client Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Offering Circular.

 

ShiftPixy Human Capital Management Inc., d/b/a ShiftableHR

 

We formed this subsidiary in response to the need to have worker's compensation policies written in the names of the clients (as may be required by some states) and otherwise in response to client needs for only administrative and processing services rather than the full-service, assumption of employee program offered by ShiftPixy. Under this subsidiary, under circumstances wherein the client remains as the sole employer or borrowing employer of the subject employees, we act as a payroll processor, human resources consultant, administrator of worker's compensation coverages and claims. For administrative reasons, we believe that providing these services through a separate legal entity seemed advisable and required, and thus we formed the subsidiary to provide these services.

 

These services are also available to businesses in all industries, not just the restaurant and hospitality industries. We hope that this mechanism may become a way to onboard new clients into the ShiftPixy Ecosystem when eligible clients to whom we are providing these services recognize the value of the services provided by ShiftPixy, the parent. At May 31, 2016, ShiftableHR had  135 clients.  As of October 12, 2016 ShiftableHR had 232 clients (included in our total aggregate of 253 clients) with 3,259 worksite employees and 933 employees for whom we provide only payroll administration services.

  

Potential New Marketing Opportunity

 

We have seen a potential new market based upon the issue of worker misclassification in the Gig Economy. Gig Economy companies such as Uber regularly classify the people working for them as "independent contractors" rather than "employees" for jobs (gigs). The companies can pay much less for services and in regulatory requirements if their workers are classified as independent contractors. Under state and federal employment laws, workers classified as employees are much more expensive for these companies. However, increasing litigation against Uber and others has increased awareness about this issue. ShiftPixy provides a solution by absorbing workers for these types of Gig Economy companies as employees of ShiftPixy, eliminating any risk of litigation, fines and other worker misclassification problems for these types of Gig Economy companies which become ShiftPixy clients.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing our Common Stock. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

Although we have engaged in operational activities since inception, we have not yet generated significant operational revenues, meaning that we have an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth and we may never generate significant operating revenues.

 

Although we have engaged in operational activities and generated revenues since inception, our lack of long-term operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth due to future advances in technology, methods or processes by our competitors. To address these risks, we must, among other things, continue to expand our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop and upgrade our product offerings, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We have generated limited revenues from operations, which makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.

 

We generated only limited revenues, or $67,549, from inception to August 31, 2015, and $ 15,607,568 in revenues for the nine-month period ending May 31, 2016. Notwithstanding this increase, as a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Because of the related uncertainties, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, revenues or expenses. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable data, we may never become profitable or we may incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price once we start trading. 

  

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure additional financing we may be unable to implement our business plan, grow our business and meet our third year target objectives.

 

We are a development stage company and are in the process of developing our products and services. Consequently, we have generated only limited revenues as of August 31, 2015. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations and the Company's ability to raise additional capital as required. During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company incurred operating losses of $41,770, and utilized $51,350 in operating cash flows. Further, during the nine-month period ending from September 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016, the Company incurred operating losses of $375,756 and generated $146 ,208 in operating cash flows. Our auditors have indicated that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

  

There is uncertainty regarding our ability to implement our business plan and to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources without additional financing. Except from the proceeds of this offering, we have no binding agreements, commitments or understandings to secure additional financing at this time. We have no binding agreements, commitments or understandings to acquire any other businesses or assets. Our long-term future growth and success is dependent upon our ability to generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing, potentially beyond the proceeds of this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell shares of common stock in addition to this Offering or borrow additional funds. Our inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement our business plan as described herein and grow our business, including our three year target objectives, to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources.

   

 
11
 
 

Management currently believes these are reasonably achievable targets assuming the Company can fully implement its current business plan. A major assumption underlying management's belief is that this Offering is successful, raising at least the Minimum Proceeds. As there is no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that the Company will be able to implement its current business plan for the reasons set forth herein and elsewhere in "Risk Factors," there is no assurance the Company will meet its targets. No investor should rely on any assumption that the Company will meet these targets in making an investment decision concerning the Shares in this Offering. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations."

 

We may be subject to penalties and interest payable on taxes as a result of software or manual error.

 

Our input of data in the software must be effected properly in order to process the data and payments correctly with regard to clients, employees and applicable tax agencies. If we input incorrect data or input accurate data incorrectly, we could inadvertently overbill or underbill our clients or overpay or underpay applicable taxes, resulting in the loss of net income and/or clients and/or the incurrence of tax penalties and interest. Despite our efforts to reconcile taxes on a monthly basis, we may incur additional taxes, penalties and interest which we may or may not bill the clients for.

 

Industry Risks

 

Providing specialized Gig Economy oriented staffing management products and services is an emerging yet competitive business, and many of our competitors have greater resources that may enable them to compete more effectively.

 

We will compete in the same markets with many companies that offer not only staffing management products and services focused on the Gig Economy but also more traditional staffing management products and services. There are limited barriers to entry. Price competition in the industry, particularly from larger, more traditional industry model competitors, is intense, and pricing pressures from competitors and clients are increasing. New competitors entering our markets may further increase pricing pressures.

 

Clients may competitively bid new contracts; a trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Some of our competitors have greater resources than we do, which may enable them to compete more effectively in this market. Our competitors may devote their resources to developing and marketing products and services that will directly compete with our product lines, and new, more efficient competitors may enter the market. If we are unable to successfully compete with existing companies and new entrants to the market this will have a negative impact on our business and financial condition.

 

Our targeted customer base is diverse and we face a challenge in adequately meeting each group's needs.

 

Because we will serve both employers and employees, we must work constantly to understand the needs, standards and requirements of each group and must devote significant resources to developing products and services for their interests. If we do not accurately predict our customers' needs and expectations, we may expend valuable resources in developing products and services that do not achieve broad acceptance across the markets.

 

Our success depends on adoption of our products and services by our various types of customers, and if these potential customers do not accept and acquire our products and services then our revenue will be severely limited.

 

The major customer groups to whom we believe our products and services will appeal, both employers and employees, particularly related to shift work, may not embrace our products and services. Acceptance of our products and services will depend on several factors, including: cost, ease of use, familiarity of use, convenience, timeliness, strategic partnerships, and reliability. If we fail to adequately meet our customers' needs and expectations, our product offerings may not be competitive and our ability to commence or continue generating revenues could be reduced. We also cannot be sure that our business model will gain wide acceptance among all targeted customer groups. If the market fails to continue to develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our ability to continue generating revenues could be reduced.

 

 
12
 

 

Competing forms of Gig Economy oriented staffing management products and services may be more desirable to consumers or may make our products and services obsolete.

 

There are currently several different competing Gig Economy oriented staffing management product and service technologies that are being marketed to our potential customers. Further development of any of these technologies may lead to advancements in technology that will make our products and services obsolete. Consumers may prefer alternative technologies and products and services. We cannot guarantee that users of Gig Economy oriented staffing management products and services who will be using our products and services will continue to grow within the industry as a whole. Any developments that contribute to the obsolescence of our products and services may substantially impact our business reducing our ability to sustain generating revenues.

 

Software products we use in our business may contain defects which will make it more difficult for us to establish and maintain customers. 

 

The backbone for our business is software called "HRPyramid," provided by PrismHR (F.W. Davidson & Company, Inc. d/b/a PrismHR) under an Application Service Provider Agreement as assigned to us by XccelerateHR on April 1, 2016. The agreement allows us to use this software so long as the agreement remains in effect. The agreement, as assigned, provides for one - year renewal terms, ending March 1 of each subsequent year, with automatic one year renewals unless otherwise terminated (which can be effected by either party with at least 30 days' notice prior to renewal). Thus, the agreement will renew on March 1, 2017, for another one - year term unless otherwise terminated. This and other software products we use in our business may contain undetected design faults and software errors, or "bugs" that are discovered only after they has been installed and used by a greater number of customers. Any such defect or error in new or existing software or applications could cause delays in delivering our technology or require design modifications. These could adversely affect our competitive position and cause us to lose potential customers or opportunities. Since our technologies are intended to be utilized to supply human resources related services, the effect of any such bugs or delays will likely have a detrimental impact on us. In addition, given that our specialized human resources software and services has yet to gain widespread acceptance in the market, any delays or other problems caused by software bugs would likely have a more detrimental impact on our business than if we were a more established company.

 

If the agreement for the HRPyramid software that we use in our business is terminated or not renewed, our business could be seriously disrupted and our revenues significantly reduced.

 

If the agreement for the HRPyramid software as assigned to us by XccelerateHR on April 1, 2016 is terminated or not renewed at the end of the current term on February 28, 2017 or at any other time, our business and revenues would suffer. Although there are other software vendors we can use, it may take time to negotiate an agreement and make operational this replacement software.Accordingly, if the agreement for the HRPyramid software that we use in our business is terminated or not renewed, our business could be seriously disrupted and our revenues significantly reduced until we locate and make operational replacement software.

 

Damage claims against us as a result of actions of our employees could reduce our sales and revenues.

 

If any one of our employees is found to cause injury or damage through one or more negligent or wrongful acts, including sexual harassment and other employment related offenses, the Company could suffer financial damages as a result of claims by the injured party. We have not had significant claims for damages or losses from actions of our employee workers to date. The Company carries a staffing liability program commercial insurance policy, but the policy provides coverage only with respect to: 1. "wrongful employment acts" committed against our "employees" pursuant to our agreement with that client; and 2. A "staffing services worker's" acts committed while in the service of our client that result in a "wrongful business environment." The insurer may seek to disclaim liability as not covered or for other reasons or the amount of judgment against us may exceed the policy limits. Any claims for damages against us as a result of actions of our work employees could damage our reputation and reduce our revenues.

 

Lapses in our employee screening process may result in potential litigation, which may be costly and/or damage our reputation.

 

If we experience lapses in our employee screening process, we may face potential litigation from our clients or government regulators, which may be costly and/or damage our reputation.

 

 
13
 

 

If we are unable to protect our proprietary and technology rights our operations will be adversely affected.

 

Our success will depend in part on our ability to protect our proprietary rights and technologies, including those related to our products and services. We have not applied for any formal patent, trademark or similar protection. Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights may adversely affect our operations. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use trade secrets or other information that we regard as proprietary. Based on the nature of our business, we may or may not be able to adequately protect our rights through patent, copyright and trademark laws. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad may not be adequate, and competitors may independently develop similar technologies. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to:

 

·

Enforce intellectual property rights;

·

Protect our trade secrets;

·

Determine the validity and scope of the rights of others; or

·

Defend against claims of infringement or invalidity.

 

Any such litigation could result in substantial costs if we are held to have willfully infringed or to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology and would divert the attention of management from the implementation of our business strategy. Furthermore, the outcome of litigation is inherently difficult to predict and we may not prevail in any litigation in which we become involved.

 

If we are unable to secure or pay for the insurance coverage required for our business operations, or if we lose any existing coverage, we may not be able to offer some of our services and our revenues could be reduced.

 

We are required to obtain and maintain various types of insurance coverage for our business, in particular health and worker's compensation insurance related to our employees. Although we have contracts with all types of providers currently necessary for our business, if in the future we are unable to secure the insurance coverage required for our business operations, or if we lose any existing coverage, we may not be able to offer some of our services and our revenues could be reduced. In addition, any increases in the cost of insurance coverage we are required to maintain could reduce any net profits we might have.

 

The Company assumes the obligation to make wage, tax, and regulatory payments for our shifter employees, and, as a result, are exposed to client credit risks.

 

The Company generally assumes responsibility for and manages the risks associated with shifter employees' payroll obligations, including liability for payment of salaries, wages, and certain taxes. These obligations are fixed, whether or not clients make payments as required by services contracts, which exposes the Company to credit risks of clients.

 

Workers' compensation costs for shifter employees may rise and reduce our margins and require more liquidity.

 

The Company is responsible for and pays workers' compensation costs for shifter employees. At times, these costs have risen substantially as a result of increased claims and claim trends, general economic conditions, changes in business mix, increases in healthcare costs, and government regulations. Although the Company carries insurance, unexpected changes in claim trends, including the severity and frequency of claims, actuarial estimates, and medical cost inflation could result in costs that are significantly different than initially reported. If future claims-related liabilities increase due to unforeseen circumstances, or if new laws, rules, or regulations are passed, costs could increase significantly. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase the fees charged to clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any changes in claims-related liabilities.

Failure to comply with, or changes in, laws and regulations applicable to our businesses could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences.

 

Our business is subject to a wide range of complex laws and regulations. For example, many states regulate entities offering the employment related services such as those offered by us directly or through our subsidiary and require licenses as a prerequisite to operation of such enterprises in their respective jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that either ShiftPixy or its subsidiary, ShiftableHR, will be successful in either securing or maintaining a license or licenses in compliance with a particular state's laws and regulations. Further, many states require variously that worker's compensation policies offered by employment related firms such as ours to be managed according to strict rules and/or that unemployment insurance filings be administered according to strict rules.

 

Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in the suspension or revocation of licenses or registrations, the limitation, suspension or termination of services, and the imposition of consent orders or civil and criminal penalties, including fines, that could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

 

In addition, changes in laws or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of laws or regulations by a regulatory authority, may decrease our revenues and earnings and may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business. For example, a change in regulations either decreasing the amount of taxes to be withheld or allowing less time to remit taxes to government authorities would adversely impact interest income from investing client funds before such funds are remitted to the applicable taxing authorities. Changes in taxation regulations could adversely affect our effective tax rate and our net income. Changes in laws that govern the co-employment arrangement between a professional employer organization and its worksite employees may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business. Healthcare reform under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended, related state laws, and the regulations adopted or to be adopted thereunder, have the potential to impact substantially the way that employers provide health insurance to employees and the health insurance market for the small and mid-sized businesses that constitute our business's clients and prospects. We are unable to determine the ultimate impact that healthcare reform will have on our business and our ability to attract and retain clients. Amendments to money transmitter statutes have required us to obtain licenses in some jurisdictions. The adoption of new money transmitter statutes in other jurisdictions, changes in regulators' interpretation of existing state and federal money transmitter or money services business statutes or regulations, or disagreement by a regulatory authority with our interpretation of such existing statutes or regulations, could require additional registration or licensing, limit certain of our business activities until they are appropriately licensed, and expose us to financial penalties. These occurrences could also require changes to our compliance programs and to the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our money movement business or client funds investment strategy, which could adversely impact interest income from investing client funds before such funds are remitted.

 

We host, collect, use, transmit and store personal and business information, and a security or privacy breach may damage or disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses.

 

In connection with our business, we host, collect, use, transmit and store large amounts of personal and business information about our clients, employees of our clients, vendors and our employees, including payroll information, healthcare information, personal and business financial data, social security numbers, bank account numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal and business information.

 

We are focused on ensuring that our operating environments safeguard and protect personal and business information, and we will be required devote significant resources to maintain and regularly update our systems and processes. Nonetheless, globally, attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication, and the Company may be targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses.

 

We have third party contractors who monitor our activities in a manner designed to prevent, detect and respond to data security incidents. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. In addition, hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third-parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data or our systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third-parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other methods of deceiving our employees, contractors, and temporary staff. As these threats continue to evolve, we may be required to invest significant additional resources to modify and enhance our information security and controls or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. In addition, while our operating environment is designed to safeguard and protect personal and business information, we do not have the ability to monitor the implementation of similar safeguards by our clients, vendors or their respective employees, and, in any event, third-parties may be able to circumvent those security measures.

Any cyber-attack, unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, corruption of data, or theft of non-public or other sensitive information, similar act by a malevolent party, or inadvertent acts by our own employees, could result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, and could have a materially adverse effect on our business operations, or that of our clients, create financial liability, regulatory sanction, or a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients or cause current or potential clients to choose another service provider. Although we believe that through our third party contractors we maintain a program of information security and controls and any threats that we might have encountered to date have not materially impacted us, the impact of a data security incident could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have insurance coverage for risks for exchanging and maintaining data electronically that is designed to address certain aspects of cyber-risks, such insurance coverage may be denied or be insufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise in the continually evolving area of cyber-risk.

 

We are also subject to various federal and state laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use, transmission and security of personal and business information. In addition, the possession and use of personal information and data in conducting our business subjects us to laws that may require notification to regulators, clients or employees in the event of a privacy breach. These laws continue to develop, the number of jurisdictions adopting such laws continues to increase, and these laws may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The future enactment of more restrictive laws, rules or regulations could have a materially adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on our businesses and noncompliance could result in regulatory penalties and significant legal liability. In addition, enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities related to data security incidents and privacy violations continue to increase.

 

Our systems may be subject to disruptions that could have a materially adverse effect on our business and reputation.

 

Our business is and will continue to be highly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of complicated transactions. We rely heavily on our payroll, financial, accounting, and other data processing systems. We may not be successful in preventing the loss of client data, service interruptions or disruptions to our operations from system failures. If any of these systems fails to operate properly or becomes disabled even for a brief period of time, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention, or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

 

Because we store data in the cloud with providers such as Microsoft and Amazon, any disruptions in our ability to access this data or any breach of security concerning this data in the cloud could have a materially adverse effect on our business and reputation.

 

Our business is and will continue to be highly dependent on data storage in the cloud with providers such as Microsoft and Amazon. These cloud storage systems may fail to operate properly or become disabled even for a brief period of time. There could also be security breaches of our data stored in the cloud. If there is loss of client data, service interruptions or disruptions to our operations related to our cloud data storage, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention, or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

 

Political and economic factors may adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

Monetary and fiscal policies and political and economic conditions may substantially change. When there is a slowdown in the economy, employment levels may decrease with a corresponding impact on our businesses. Clients may react to worsening conditions by reducing their spending on payroll and other outsourcing services or renegotiating their contracts with us.

 

We are dependent upon various large banks to execute Automated Clearing House and wire transfers as part of our client payroll and tax services. A systemic shutdown of the banking industry would impede our ability to process funds on behalf of our payroll and tax services clients and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.

If we are unable to effectively manage growth and maintain low operating costs, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

 

We have experienced rapid growth since our inception and our plans contemplate significant expansion of our business. If we are unable to effectively manage our growth, including having geographically dispersed offices and employees or accurately anticipate and manage our future growth, our business may be adversely affected. If we are unable to manage our expansion and growth effectively, we may be unable to keep our operating costs low or effectively meet the requirements of an ever-growing, geographically dispersed client base. Our business relies on data systems, billing systems and financial reporting and control systems, procedures and controls. Our success in managing our expansion and growth in a cost-effective manner will require us to upgrade and improve these systems, procedures and controls. If we are unable to adapt our systems and put adequate controls in place in a timely manner, our business may be adversely affected. In addition, our growth may place significant demands on our management, and our overall operational and financial resources. A failure on our part to meet any of the foregoing challenges inherent in our growth strategy may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We operate in an immature and rapidly evolving industry and have a relatively new business model, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

 

The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapidly changing regulatory requirement, evolving industry standards and shifting user and client demands. Our business model is also evolving and is different from models used by other companies in our industry. As a result of these factors, the success and future revenue and income potential of our business is uncertain. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties, some of which relate to our ability to:

 

·

Expand employer and employee client relationships;

 

·

Increase the number of our employer clients and grow a shifter employee base;

 

·

Develop relationships with third-party vendors such as insurance companies;

 

·

Expand operations and implement and improve our operational, financial and management controls;

 

·

Raise capital at attractive costs, or at all;

 

·

Attract and retain qualified management, employees and independent service providers;

 

·

Successfully introduce new processes, technologies products and services and upgrade our existing processes, technologies, products and services;

 

·

Protect our proprietary processes and technologies and our intellectual property rights; and

 

·

Respond to government regulations relating to the Internet, personal data protection, email, software technologies, cyber security and other regulated aspects of our business.

 

If we are unable to successfully address the challenges posed by operating in an immature and rapidly evolving industry and having a relatively new business model, our business could suffer.

 

Our independent registered public accountants will not be required to provide an attestation report as to our internal control over financial reporting for the foreseeable future.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has not assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and will not, as a result of this offering, be required to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As an issuer of securities under Regulation A, we do not expect to be required to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, unless and until we become a reporting company under the Exchange Act and, thereafter, no longer qualify as an emerging growth company or are no longer a non-accelerated filer, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, whichever is later. Currently, we would expect to be an emerging growth company for up to five years after we become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. As a result of the foregoing, for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any attestation concerning our internal control over financial reporting from us or our independent registered public accountants.

Risks Related to Management and Personnel

 

We depend heavily on Mr. Scott W. Absher, CEO/CFO and Director. The loss of his services could harm our business.

 

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions Mr. Scott W. Absher, CEO/CFO and Director. If we lose his services or if he fails to perform in his current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees in addition Mr. Scott W. Absher, CEO/CFO and Director, this could adversely affect the development of our business plan and harm our business.

 

Our sole officer and director has no experience managing a public company which may inhibit our ability to implement successfully our business plan.

 

We have never operated as a public company. Mr Scott W. Absher, our sole officer and director and the beneficial owner of 48.8% of our stock, has no experience managing a public company which is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required for a public company that is reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

There has been no public market for our Common Stock prior to this offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their shares may not develop.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering will be agreed between us and the underwriters based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares will trade following the completion of this offering. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial offering price.

 

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

If all of the shares offered hereby are sold, investors in this offering will own less than 19% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, but will have paid over 95% of the total consideration for our outstanding shares, resulting in a dilution of $6.51 per share. See "Dilution."

 

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

The offering price for our Common Stock will be agreed between us and the underwriters based on a number of factors, and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail on NASDAQ or elsewhere following this offering. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

 
18
 

 

Our financial performance, our industry's overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price include:

 

·

actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;

 

·

increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our Common Stock to demand a higher yield;

 

·

changes in earnings estimates;

 

·

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

·

actions or announcements by our competitors;

 

·

adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;

 

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

·

actions by stockholders;

 

·

speculation in the press or investment community; and

 

·

our intentions and ability to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing.

 

We may experience a delay in the initial trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

 

We will apply to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market , and we expect trading to commence following the Termination Date of this offering, assuming we have sold more than the minimum amount of shares being offered and have thereby sold a sufficient number of shares to qualify to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market. However, in order to perfect our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file with the SEC a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, and then file an SEC Form 8-A in order to register our shares under the Exchange Act. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee that such amendment will be qualified quickly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause a delay in the initial trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

 

NASDAQ may delist our Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit stockholders' ability to trade our Common Stock.

 

In the event we are able to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ will require us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our Common Stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If our Common Stock is delisted and we are not able to list our Common Stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

 

 
19
 

 

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.

 

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

 

There are currently 1,213,800 shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates and 25,000,000 shares held by affiliates that Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 defines as restricted securities that can only be resold if the conditions of Rule 144 are met. In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months, may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. However, Rule 144 will only be available for resale in the 90 days after the Company files its semi-annual reports on Form 1-SA and annual reports on Form 1-K, unless the Company voluntarily files interim quarterly reports on Form 1-U, which the Company has not yet decided to do. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.

 

Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on our director who is not independent, to perform these functions.

 

We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of an independent director. Indeed, we do not have any audit or compensation committee. The board of directors performs these functions as a whole. The sole member of the board of directors is not an independent director. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in decisions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

 

Because we lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has no technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company's financial personnel to advise the Board on such matters, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.

 

We lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has no technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company's financial personnel to advise the Board on such matters. Accordingly, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.

 

Certain of our stockholders hold a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities, which could reduce the ability of minority shareholders to effect certain corporate actions.

 

Our majority shareholders are the beneficial owners of approximately 95.4% of our outstanding voting securities prior to the offering and 77% of our outstanding voting securities after the offering, assuming all 6,250, 000 shares of common stock in this offering are sold. As a result of this ownership, they possess and can continue to possess significant influence and can elect and can continue to elect a majority of our board of directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. In addition, upon the exercise of the options to purchase preferred stock the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to elect a majority of the board according to the terms of the preferred stock. Their ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect to elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, and thereafter publicly report on an ongoing basis as an "emerging growth company" under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. If we elect not to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not "emerging growth companies", and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

 

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect to elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an "emerging growth company" (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company", we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not "emerging growth companies", including but not limited to:

 

·

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·

taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

 

·

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

·

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an "emerging growth company" as of the following December 31.

 

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for "emerging growth companies" under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer's fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer's fiscal year.

 

In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not "emerging growth companies", and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

 

 
21
 

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.

 

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management's judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.

 

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

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

 

Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new Common Stock or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your shareholding.

 

Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new Common Stock or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our Common Stock. In all events, future issuances of our Common Stock would result in the dilution of your shareholding. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into our Common Stock, could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

In connection with this offering, the Company will enter into a lock-up agreement that prevents it, subject to certain exceptions, from offering additional shares of Common Stock for up to 180 days after the date of this Offering Circular, as further described in "Underwriting." Further, our two principal stockholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any shares of our Common Stock that they own for up to 180 days after the date of this Offering Circular, as further described in "Underwriting." In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our Common Stock may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our Common Stock.

 

 
22
 

 

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which would rank senior to our Common Stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

 

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Common Stock. Moreover, if we issue additional preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of Common Stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Common Stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

 

If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market and if the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

 

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this offering.

 

We intend to use $2,578,000 of the net proceeds from this offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see "Use of Proceeds" below for more information.

If we sell all of the shares being offered, our net proceeds (after underwriting discount and commissions of $3,000,000 and our estimated other offering expenses of $600,000) will be $46,400,000. We will use these net proceeds for:

 

·

Software development and support, consisting of the continued development and rollout of our first phase mobile platform extension of our operating platform. This first phase is scheduled for launch in September 2016. The first phase of our mobile development creates a vital user interface for our mobile shift worker to profile their experience and preferences and match to local available shift opportunities based on their profile and proximity match to shift opportunities;

 

·

IT infrastructure and proprietary software platform, consisting of cloud based, integrated systems to support job provider clients operationally and shift workers personally. The infrastructure connects disparate systems bringing essential data points to user tasks. These systems that comprise our platform require high usage and highly scalable provider resources and alliances;

 

·

Additional expanded insurance coverage will be secure to provide for rapid expansion of our national job provider client base. Worker's compensation coverage as an employer is required in every state and must be in place in advance of our expansion. In order for ShiftPixy to maximize growth and minimize growth friction the Company will need to put significant capital to work to secure the widest underwriting capability;

·

Operational staff and regional office expansion consisting of a regional operation support in office locations planned to rollout (assuming maximum offering) as follows:

 

·

First, New York and then Orlando

·

Next, after the above cities are open, Dallas and then Chicago

·

Finally, after all the above cities are open, Las Vegas and then Atlanta

 

·

The staffing for each of these office locations will be scaled with the growth of the clients and proceeds raised in this offering, but start with core regional operating duties covered. These locations will also require long-term leases;

·

General office expenses consisting of rent, office supplies and computer and other equipment; and

·

working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors.

As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 30% of the shares offered for sale in this offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the shares, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without working capital reserve. At that point we would expect to modify our use of proceeds by slowing the pace of geographic expansion, leaving us with the working capital reserve indicated.

 

None of the proceeds from the offering will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to our sole officer/Director.

 

The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

In the event we do not sell all of the shares being offered, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this offering would be diluted. No plans for additional financing are currently being contemplated by the Company, and in all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

 

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares in this offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering. These tables are calculated based upon 26, 213,800 shares being issued and outstanding at May 31, 2016, the date of the latest financial statements included in this Offering Circular.

 

Our historical net tangible book value as of May 31, 2016 was $1,366 ,061 or $0.052 per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

 

Our net tangible book value as of May 31, 2016, before accounting for this offering, was $1,366,061 or $0.052 per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, as of the date specified.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 30% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after deducting underwriting discount and commissions of $3,000,000, $2,250,000, $1,500,000 and $900,000, respectively, and our estimated other offering expenses of $600,000):

The number of shares of common stock outstanding excludes:

To the extent such stock options or warrants are hereafter exercised resulting in the issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock or shares convertible into Common Stock which are then converted, there will be further dilution to our investors.

 

UNDERWRITING

 

We have engaged W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC (the "Underwriter") with respect to the Offered Shares. We anticipate entering into an underwriting agreement setting forth the definitive terms and conditions of the sale of the Offered Shares on or immediately prior to the date on which the SEC initially qualifies the Offering Statement (the "Qualification Date").

 

Subject to certain conditions, the Underwriter has agreed to use its best efforts to procure potential purchasers for the Offered Shares. This offering is being undertaken on a best efforts only basis. The Underwriter is not required to take or pay for any specific number or dollar amount of our Common Stock. The Underwriter will have the right to engage such other FINRA member firms as it determines to assist in this offering.

 

This offering will terminate on ____________, 2016, subject to extension for up to thirty (30) days with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriter; provided that, if we have received and accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Offered Shares, then the Company will close on the minimum offering amount (the "Initial Closing") and this offering will continue until (i) a date which is sixty (60) days after the Initial Closing, or (ii) the date on which the maximum offering amount is sold (such earliest date, the "Termination Date").

 

 
27
 

 

The Offered Shares will be issued in one or more closings. The Underwriter and the participating broker-dealers (the "Selling Group") must sell the minimum number of shares set forth in this Offering Circular (the "Minimum Offering") if any shares are to be sold at all. If, on the Initial Closing date, we have sold less than the maximum number of Offered Shares (the "Maximum Offering"), then we  may hold one or more additional closings in our sole discretion for additional sales, up to the Maximum Offering, until the Termination Date (the "Additional Closings", and each, an "Additional Closing"). For the Initial Closing and each subsequent Additional Closing, all proceeds for such closing will be kept in an interest bearing escrow account (the "Escrow Account") maintained by Jumpstart Securities, LLC, which is acting as the escrow agent, for the benefit of the investors in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. Upon each closing, the proceeds collected for such closing will be disbursed to the Company and the Offered Shares for such closing will be issued to investors, as described in more detail below. If the offering does not close, the proceeds for the offering will be promptly returned to investors, without deduction and generally without interest.

 

The Escrow Account will be opened immediately prior to the Qualification Date and will remain open until the offering terminates without the Minimum Offering having been reached, or if the Initial Closing occurs, until the last Additional Closing date(s).

 

Investors may purchase the Offered Shares in one of two methods following the Qualification Date. Under the first method, in accordance with the instructions in the subscription agreement (the "Subscription Process"), an investor will execute a subscription agreement and transmit the funds directly by wire to the Escrow Account. The subscription agreement is available at www.wrhambrecht.com/PIXY or a hard copy may be obtained by contacting the Underwriter. Under the second method, following the Qualification Date, the Underwriter will book trades with investors or their brokers, and the investors will fund the purchase price of the Offered Shares through their brokerage accounts pursuant to instructions given by their brokers (the "Brokerage Account Process"). The Underwriter retains the discretion to allocate additional Offered Shares to the accounts of investors that have expressed interest in purchasing Offered Shares above their allocations and that have accounts with funds on hand that can be debited.

 

On each closing date, the Underwriter's clearing agent will wire an amount equal to the gross proceeds received from investors under the Brokerage Account Process to the Escrow Account, and  Jumpstart Securities LLC will wire the total funds received in the Escrow Account (under both the Subscription Process and the Brokerage Account Process) to the Company. The Offered Shares will be released to investors under the Subscription Process by direct registration through the Company's transfer agent. The Offered Shares for investors under the Brokerage Account Process will be released initially to the clearing agent for further delivery to customer accounts of the investors through the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. For each closing, all sales under both processes will close on the same date.

 

Following the Initial Closing, the Company and the Underwriter will consider various factors in determining the timing of any Additional Closings, including the amount of proceeds received at the Initial Closing and any Additional Closings that have already been held, the level of additional valid subscriptions or sales orders received under the Subscription Process and the Brokerage Account Process after the Initial Closing and any Additional Closings that have already been held, the eligibility of additional investors under applicable laws and coordination with the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock. Accordingly, the investors under the Subscription Process may not know the exact date on which their closing will occur, except that all closings (including the Initial Closing), if any, will occur prior to the Termination Date.

 

Jumpstart  Securities, LLC will notify the Underwriter when the full amount necessary to purchase the Minimum Offering has been received. If, on_________________, or the end of the thirty (30) day extension, if exercised, investor funds are not received in respect of the Minimum Offering, then all investor funds that were deposited into the Escrow Account (including funds received under both the Subscription Process and the Brokerage Account Process, if any) will be returned promptly to investors and the offering will terminate.  Jumpstart Securities, LLC will retain up to $5,000 of interest accrued from funds deposited in the Escrow Account regardless of whether the offering closes, as partial compensation for serving as the escrow agent.  Jumpstart Securities, LLC will not accept any paper checks from investors in the offering. The Underwriter will not accept or handle any funds.

Offered Shares sold to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this Offering Circular. Selected dealers who participate in the offering will receive a selling concession from the Underwriter not to exceed $9.20 per share. After the initial offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be subject to change. The offering of the shares is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the right of the Company to reject any subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason.

 

Technology and Escrow Services

 

Jumpstart Securities, LLC has been engaged to provide certain technology and escrow services in connection with this offering. The Underwriter has agreed to pay Jumpstart Securities, LLC, as part of the syndicate expenses,  a technology services fee for the technology services provided by its affiliate in the offering, including the online platform by which subscribers may receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically.

 

We have engaged Jumpstart Securities, LLC to serve as escrow agent for the offering. As partial compensation for serving as escrow agent, Jumpstart Securities, LLC will retain up to $5,000 of interest accrued from funds deposited in the escrow account regardless of whether the offering closes. In the event more than $5,000 in interest accrues on funds deposited in the escrow account, the excess will be distributed to each subscriber in the same proportion as such subscriber's investment bears to the gross proceeds of the offering. Jumpstart Securities, LLC is also entitled to certain other fees  that Underwriter will pay as syndicate expenses.   Jumpstart Securities, LLC is not participating as an underwriter of the offering and will not solicit any investment in the Company, recommend the Company's securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, or distribute the offering circular or other offering materials to investors. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to the Company or the Underwriter.

  

Engagement Agreement with the Underwriter

 

We are currently party to an engagement agreement with the Underwriter. The term of the engagement agreement began on April 26, 2016 and will continue for one year, until April 26, 2017, unless one of the following events occurs prior to April 26, 2017, in which case the engagement agreement would be terminated early:

 

(i)

we and the Underwriter mutually agree to terminate the engagement agreement or either of us decides to terminate on 30 days' prior written notice to the other;

 

(ii)

we execute a definitive underwriting or placement agency agreement with the Underwriter;

 

 

 

(iii)

we terminate the agreement for Underwriter's material failure to provide the services contemplated by the engagement agreement; or

 

(iv)

we decide not to proceed with the offering or withdraw any offering statement filed with the SEC.

 

 
29
 

 

Offering Expenses. We are responsible for all offering fees and expenses, including the following: (i) fees and disbursements of our legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals we engage; (ii) fees and expenses incurred in the production of offering documents, including design, printing, photograph, and written material procurement costs; (iii) all filing fees, including FINRA and blue sky filing fees; (iv) all of the legal fees related to the registration and qualification of the Offered Shares under state securities laws and FINRA clearance (not to exceed $30,000 in the aggregate); and (v) our transportation, accommodation, and other roadshow expenses. To the extent that any of our fees and expenses are paid by the Underwriter with our approval, we will, upon request, reimburse the Underwriter for such fees and expenses.

 

Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination. In the event the offering does not close or the engagement agreement is terminated for any reason (other than for Underwriter's material failure to provide the services contemplated by the engagement agreement.), we have agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for all unreimbursed, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and disbursements, including the Underwriter's legal fees (excluding any fees relating to FINRA clearance and registration and qualification under state securities laws), up to $100,000.

 

Termination Fee. If we terminate the engagement agreement and then consummate a public offering in which the Underwriter does not serve as the Underwriter or placement agent within six months of such termination, then we have agreed to pay the Underwriter a termination fee equal to $100,000. However, the termination fee will be reduced by the amount of reimbursable expenses we have paid to the Underwriter. See "Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination" above. The termination fee is not payable in the event we terminate the engagement agreement due to the Underwriter's material failure to provide the services contemplated by the engagement agreement.

 

Underwriting Commission. We have agreed that the definitive underwriting agreement will provide for us to pay a commission of 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds to the Underwriter as compensation immediately upon consummation of the offering.

 

Underwriter's Warrants

 

Upon each closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue Underwriter's Warrants to the Underwriter to purchase a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the total shares of the Common Stock sold in the final offering statement. The Underwriter's Warrants are exercisable commencing upon issuance, and will be exercisable up to five years from the date of qualification of the offering statement. The Underwriter's Warrants are not redeemable by us. The exercise price for the Underwriter's Warrants will be the amount that is 15% greater than the public offering price, or $9.20.

  

The Underwriter's Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Underwriter's Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The Underwriter, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Underwriter's Warrants or the Common Stock underlying the Underwriter's Warrants, nor will the Underwriter or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Underwriter's Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the Qualification Date, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any underwriter or selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers or partners if the Underwriter's Warrants or the underlying shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Underwriter's Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of the Underwriter's Warrants and the shares underlying such Underwriter's Warrants in the event of recapitalization, merger, stock split, or other structural transaction, or a future financing undertaken by us.

 

Advisory Services Agreement

 

We also previously executed an Advisory Letter Agreement with the Underwriter with a three-month term pursuant to which the Underwriter agreed to provide us with financial advice and assistance concerning our business. As compensation for these advisory services, we paid the Underwriter $30,000. The Engagement Agreement signed on April 26, 2016 supersedes the Advisory Letter Agreement.

Lock Up Agreements

 

Our two current principal stockholders have agreed, or will agree, with the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, we and they will not, directly or indirectly, during the period ending 180 days after the date of the Offering Circular:

 

·

offer, assign, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition;

 

·

enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable in Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise

 

 

 

 

·

engage in any short selling of the Common Stock,

 

 

 

 

·

file any registration statement or offering statement with the Securities and Exchange Commissionrelating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or

This agreement does not apply, in our case, to securities issued pursuant to existing employee benefit plans or securities issued upon exercise of options, and other exceptions, and in the case of our officers, directors and other holders of our securities, exercise of stock options issued pursuant to a stock option or similar plans, and other exceptions.

 

Exchange Listing

 

We will apply to the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") to list shares of our common under the symbol "PIXY." In order to meet one of the requirements for listing our common stock on NASDAQ, the Underwriter intends to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 300 beneficial holders. Our common stock will not commence trading on NASDAQ until all of the following conditions are met: (i) the Minimum Offering is closed; (ii) the offering is terminated; and (iii) we have filed a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement and a registration statement on Form 8-A under the Exchange Act, and such post-qualification amendment is qualified by the SEC and the Form 8-A has become effective. Pursuant to applicable rules under Regulation A, the Form 8-A will not become effective until the SEC qualifies the post-qualification amendment. We intend to file the post-qualification amendment and request its qualification immediately prior to the termination of this offering in order that the Form 8-A may become effective as soon as practicable.

 

Pricing of the Offering

 

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the Offered Shares. The initial public offering price was determined by negotiation between us and the Underwriter. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include:

 

·

·

our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

 

·

our past and present financial performance;

 

·

our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

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

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled "Risk Factors", "Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Please see the notes to our Financial Statements for information about our Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

 

Overview

 

The Company is a leading provider of employment law compliance solutions for employers and workers in an environment in which shift or other part-time/temporary positions, commonly called "gigs," are performed. In what is now being called the Gig Economy, businesses such as those in our current target market in the restaurant and hospitality industries contract with independent workers for less than full-time engagements primarily in the form of shift work. The trend toward a Gig Economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be less than full time independent contractors.

 

A significant problem for employers in the Gig Economy is compliance with new regulations imposed by ACA as well as worker's compensation and other traditional employment compliance issues. This problem has become greater as employers cut workers' hours below 30 hours/week to avoid mandatory ACA health insurance requirements for all workers.

 

For Gig/Shift Workers, whom we also call "Shifters," the significant problem is difficulty in finding other jobs/gigs to replace hours lost when their employers reduce their hours and make them less than full-time employees.

 

We believe ShiftPixy has the ideal solution for both of these groups and each of their problems via a service offering that entails two principal elements (that we refer to collectively as our "Ecosystem") as follows:

 

 

·

ShiftPixy Employer Solution: ShiftPixy absorbs the employer's Shifters as ShiftPixy Employees and makes those employees available to the former employer to work the same jobs, as employees of ShiftPixy.

 

·

ShiftPixy Gig/Shift Worker Solution: Shifters placed with one of ShiftPixy's clients can now access other shift work with other ShiftPixy clients, ultimately through the new ShiftPixy mobile app a prototype of which was released in September. When released to the general public, anticipated to be in the  first  quarter of 2017, the ShiftPixy mobile app will enable not only ShiftPixy shift employees but also ultimately shift employees outside the ShiftPixy Ecosystem, many of them millennials who connect to the outside world solely through mobile devices to access available shift jobs at all ShiftPixy clients.

 

ShiftPixy currently operates in Los Angeles/Southern California and has a modest staff in Phoenix, but it plans to open the following additional physical offices upon completion of our offering, assuming we raise the maximum offering. If we raise less than the maximum offering, we will roll out these offices in the following order:

 

·

First, New York and then Orlando

·

Next, after the above cities are open, Dallas and then Chicago

·

Finally, after all the above cities are open, Las Vegas and then Atlanta

 

These markets collectively account for or allow us to cover approximately 53% of our target market in the restaurant/hospitality sector. (Statistics of US Businesses Employment and Payroll 2012; US Census Bureau).

 

ShiftPixy and its subsidiary currently serve an aggregate of approximately clients and with an aggregate of approximately 4,067 worksite employees. Additionally, we provide only payroll administration services to 933  employees. None of these clients represents more than 10% of our annualized revenues for fiscal year 2016.

 

 
34
 

 

ShiftPixy's anticipated business and revenue growth will result from the following factors:

 

·

Large Potential Market.

 
 

·

ACA's Significant Impact on Current and Potential New Clients.

 
 

·

Mitigation of ACA and other Insurance Compliance Risks.

 
 

·

Marketing Advantages from Strategic Insurance Provider Relationships.

 
 

·

New ShiftPixy mobile app that is designed to p rovide Additional Benefits to Employers and Shift Workers.

   
 

·

Ultimate Development of a ShiftPixy Ecosystem.

 

The Problem: Significant staffing management and compliance challenges and significant financial risks of non-compliance presented by the ACA to our target market of middle-tier (100 – 500 employees) restaurant and hospitality business.

 

The ACA presents significant staffing management challenges to this target market with many part time workers. With a majority of the personnel working between 28 to 35 hours as part time or variable hour employees (National Business Group on Health statement to U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, January 2014) and with the turnover rates most of these establishments typically experience, there are operational, reporting, employee tracking and cost concerns that we believe many of these businesses are not prepared to deal with. Because ACA compliance is a new experience for these businesses, many employers in these sectors are still not aware of or concerned with the size of the storm that ACA compliance-related penalties, reporting requirements, and increased cost really is. We believe this lack of preparedness and planning may overwhelm them in the years to come.

 

The ShiftPixy Solution: ShiftPixy is developing an Ecosystem comprised of a closed proprietary operating and processing system that helps restaurant or hospitality businesses as well as shift workers by matching available shifts with available shift workers. The ShiftPixy Ecosystem provides the following benefits:

 

·

Compliance

·

Cost Containment

·

Cost Savings

 

We formed Shift Human Capital Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, in December 2015. We formed this subsidiary in response to the need to have worker's compensation policies written in the names of the clients (as may be required by some states) and otherwise in response to client needs for only administrative and processing services rather than the full-service, staffing program offered by ShiftPixy. At February 29, 2016, ShiftableHR had no active operations. Operations did commence thereafter, and as of June 1, 2016, ShiftableHR had 135 clients with 2,795 total  worksite employees, including employees for whom we provide only payroll administration services.

During the time period before this Offering closes, and thereafter, if the offering does not close for any reason, including failure to receive the Minimum Offering Proceeds, we will finance the above activities from internal cash flow.Therefore, we cannot currently predict when each of the above activities will occur if the offering does not close, but the actions, timing and cost will in general follow the Minimum Proceeds table above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, and the Company's ability to raise additional capital as required. During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company incurred operating losses of $41,770, and utilized $51,350 in operating cash flows. Further, during the nine -month period ending from September 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016, the Company incurred operating losses of $375, 756 and generated $146 ,208 in operating cash flows.

 

Our auditors have indicated that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been cash proceeds from operational income as well as the sale of Common Stock to initial investors known to management and principal shareholders of the Company. We expect that our current income and cash on hand will fund our existing operations. However, we will need to raise additional capital in order execute our business plan and growth goals for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to execute a slower than planned growth path, reduce overhead and scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operational expansion and growth. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

Business Plan Targets

  

Because there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and specifically if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure additional financing, we may be unable to implement our business plan, grow our business and meet our third year target objectives in our business plan. Accordingly, no investor should rely on any assumption that the Company will meet its business plan targets in making an investment decision concerning the Shares in this Offering.

 

Credit Facilities

 

We do not have any credit facilities or other access to bank credit.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time. We do, however, purchase equipment and software necessary to conduct our operations on an as needed basis.

 

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

 

We do not have any material ongoing material contracts that extend beyond a one-year period or which are not cancellable sooner.

 

 
42
 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company's common stock, stock-based compensation, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company's deferred tax assets.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

 

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect to elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an "emerging growth company" (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company", we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not "emerging growth companies", including but not limited to:

 

·

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·

taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

 

·

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

·

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an "emerging growth company" as of the following December 31.

 

 
43
 

 

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for "emerging growth companies" under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer's fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer's fiscal year.

 

In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not "emerging growth companies", and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

 

OUR BUSINESS

 

The Company is a leading provider of employment law compliance solutions for employers of ("gig") shift/gig workers and the shift/gig workers themselves in the nextGEN Gig Economy. For us, nextGEN Gig Economy means an environment in which shift or other part-time/temporary positions are common, and businesses, in our case currently restaurant and hospitality businesses, contract with independent workers for less than full-time engagements such as shift work. The trend toward a Gig Economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be less than full time independent contractors.

 

A significant problem for employers in the Gig Economy is compliance with new regulations imposed by the ACA as well as worker's compensation and other traditional employment compliance issues. This problem has become greater as Employers cut workers hours below 30 hours/week to avoid mandatory ACA health insurance requirements for all workers.

 

For Gig/Shift Workers, the significant problem is difficulty in finding other jobs/gigs to replace hours lost when their employer reduces their hours and makes them less than full time employees.

 

We believe ShiftPixy has the ideal solution for both of these groups and each of their problems via a service offering that entails two principal elements (that we refer to collectively as our "Ecosystem"), as follows:

 

·

 

ShiftPixy Employer Solution: ShiftPixy absorbs the employer's Gig/Shift Workers as ShiftPixy Employees and makes those employees available to the former employer to work the same jobs, as employees of ShiftPixy.

 

·

 

ShiftPixy Gig/Shift Worker Solution: Shifters placed with one of ShiftPixy's clients can now access other shift work with other ShiftPixy clients, ultimately through the new ShiftPixy mobile app a prototype of which was released in September. When released to the general public, anticipated to be in the 1st quarter of 2017, the ShiftPixy mobile app will enable not only ShiftPixy shift employees but also ultimately shift employees outside the ShiftPixy Ecosystem, many of them millennials who connect to the outside world solely through mobile devices to access available shift jobs at all ShiftPixy clients.

 

As part of our marketing strategy and because we believe what we are doing is so new and creative, we are also now onboarding clients in a traditional staffing company model through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Shift Human Capital Management, Inc., and then we intend to migrate these companies to the new nextGEN ShiftPixy Solution. In addition, we are joining the hot topic/dialogue currently going on in the nextGEN Gig Economy about companies such as Uber and others who have been targeted by plaintiff's, attorneys and government agencies for allegedly mischaracterizing employees as independent contractors. We believe that our ShiftPixy business model is perfect solution for these companies because we embrace the compliance obligations associated with being an employer.

 

 
44
 

 

ShiftPixy currently operates in Los Angeles/Southern California and has a modest staff in Phoenix , but it plans to open the following additional physical offices upon completion of our offering, assuming we raise the maximum offering. If we raise less than the maximum offering, we will roll out these offices in the following order:

 

·

First, New York and then Orlando

·

Next, after the above cities are open, Dallas and then Chicago

·

Finally, after all the above cities are open, Las Vegas and then Atlanta

 

These markets collectively account for or allow us to cover approximately 53% of our target market in the restaurant/hospitality sector. (Statistics of US Businesses Employment and Payroll 2012; US Census Bureau).

 

ShiftPixy and its subsidiary currently serve an aggregate of approximately 253  clients and with an aggregate of approximately 4,067 worksite employees. Additionally, we provide only payroll administration services to 933 employees. None of these clients represents more than 10% of our annualized revenues for fiscal year 2016. 

  

ShiftPixy's anticipated business and revenue growth will result from the following factors:

 

Large Potential Market

 

We believe there is a large potential market for ShiftPixy's services. Current statistics show that there are over 7.2 million employees in restaurants that employ more than 50 employees. There are close to 5.1 million persons employed in the hospitality industry with employers that have over 50 employees. (Both from Statistics of US Businesses Employment and Payroll 2012; US Census Bureau) Most restaurant establishments have a 90% Shifter/variable hour worker and 10% full-time worker ratio. (National Restaurant Association website "Facts at a Glance")

 

ShiftPixy's initial market focus is Los Angeles/Southern California, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Orlando, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. These markets collectively account for or allow us to cover approximately 53% of our target market in the restaurant/hospitality sector. (Statistics of US Businesses Employment and Payroll 2012; US Census Bureau)

  

The Staffing Industry

 

The staffing industry is made up of staffing providers, recruitment or placement providers and co-employment providers or PEOs each with its own service model and emphasis. Temporary staffing providers typically serve customer demands for flexible non-permanent workers for short or project work periods for midmarket and larger clients. Recruitment providers focus on locating, screening and presenting candidates for open positions for clients with open positions. Co-employers or PEOs provide a human resource management function for typically small employers with fewer than 50 employees.

 

 
45
 

 

ShiftPixy is trying to position itself in the market as a part-time/temporary staffing provider, delivering a flexible regular staff solution to its clients. ShiftPixy generally engages clients with 100 to 500 employees where the engagement is at the ownership level of the business unlike the typical part-time/temporary staffing industry engagement with businesses with over 500 employees and conducted at the human resource management level rather than the ownership level.

  

ShiftPixy is positioned as the employer rather than co-employer in the PEO engagement. The employer liabilities are shared or divided in a co-employer engagement. In contrast, ShiftPixy's client engagement the risks and liabilities are primarily with ShiftPixy. The co-employment or PEO provider typically targets businesses with 50 of fewer full-time employees, while ShiftPixy's target market are businesses with 100 to 500 employees with large part-time workforces.

 

In contrast to recruitment or placement firms, ShiftPixy as the employer of shift work personnel provided to its clients, recruits for its own staffing demands and not as a recruiter for personnel who become employees of a client.

 

Compliance Challenges Presented by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

  

The ACA presents significant part-time/temporary staffing management challenges to this target market with many part-time workers. With a majority of the personnel working between 28 to 35 hours as part time or Shifter/variable hour employees (National Business Group on Health statement to U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, January 2014) and with the turnover rates most of these establishments experience, there are operational, reporting, employee tracking and cost concerns that we believe many of these businesses are not prepared to deal with. Because ACA compliance is a new experience for these businesses, many employers in these sectors are still not aware of or concerned with the size of the storm that ACA compliance-related penalties, reporting requirements, and increased cost really is. We believe this lack of preparedness and planning may overwhelm them in the years to come.

  

The ACA compliance requirements for employers in this sector are daunting. Employers who have a tough enough time managing the fast pace of the restaurant and hospitality environment are now subjected to tracking employee hours with employees becoming eligible for benefits at various times in the year as well as having to be more precise with scheduling so that employees don't exceed the 30-hour threshold which makes them full-time employees eligible for benefits under the ACA.

 

If a restaurant or hospitality business has 50 or more full-time equivalent employees, under the ACA it must offer benefits to full-time employees. This requires employers to manage and monitor carefully the number of hours worked by each employee and have a system that can give them real-time information on variable hour/shift employees that suddenly become eligible for coverage under the ACA. Failure to offer eligible employees a minimum essential benefit under the ACA will likely result in significant fines.

  

The complexity of compliance and the significant financial risk for non-compliance is shown in the following example using calculations based upon Healthcare.gov, IRS Notice 2015-87:

 

·

Assume a restaurant has 120 employees, of which 45 meet the definition of full-time employees and the remainder do not and are considered part-time employees (Under the ACA rules, generally an employee is considered full-time if he or she is reasonably expected to work on average at least 30 hours per week, or 120 hours per month.)

·

Next, the restaurant must determine whether it has 50 or more full-time equivalent employees. We start with the 45 actual full-time employees. We then add the additional equivalent full-time employees. the number of equivalent full-time employees, which is done by taking the hours worked by all part-time employees in a week and dividing that by 30. For our example we assume that all part-time employees work 25 hours per week, but if they all work different total hours under 30 hours per week, one can see how this calculation becomes more complex for the restaurant. We start by multiplying the 25 hours per week by the total number of part time employees. 25 hours X 75 part-time employees = 1875. Now we have to divide this number by 30, and we get 63 equivalent full-time employees.

·

The restaurant then has 108 equivalent full-time employees under the ACA and thus the employer has to offer its 45 actual full-time employees minimum essential coverage.

 

 
46
 

 

·

Assume the restaurant fails to offer its 45 full-time employees minimum essential coverage. What is the penalty?

·

The penalty is $2,160 per full-time employees (minus 30).

·

So what's the total penalty? $32,400 ($2,160 X 15), a very significant amount determined after a very complex calculation.

 

The calculation above is correct based upon the assumptions about the employer in this example. However, because this is a very complex area, penalties may vary if there are different assumptions about an employer, such as having seasonal workers as defined in IRS or ACA regulations. This is just how complex the issue is: Seasonal workers are taken into account in determining the number of full-time employees. However, if an employer's workforce exceeds 50 full-time employees (including full-time equivalents) for 120 days or fewer during a calendar year, and the employees in excess of 50 who were employed during that period of no more than 120 days were seasonal workers, the employer is not considered an applicable large employer. Seasonal workers are workers who perform labor or services on a seasonal basis as defined by the Secretary of Labor, and retail workers employed exclusively during holiday seasons. For this purpose, employers may apply a reasonable, good faith interpretation of the term "seasonal worker."

 

To add to the complexity there are other kinds of penalties. If the restaurant offered a minimum essential plan but it did not meet the requirements of minimum value as defined by ACA, the restaurant would incur a $3,240 penalty for any employee that applies for a subsidy.

 

It is just this kind of complexity that is solved by an employer retaining ShiftPixy.

Service Contracts

 

The Company enters into written service contracts with its customers. Among other things, these contracts provide that the Company will have various duties, including the following:

 

a.

Recruit, screen, interview, and assign its employees ("Assigned Employees") to perform the type of work described, per position under Client's supervision at the locations specified;

b.

Pay Assigned Employees' wages and provide them with the benefits that ShiftPixy offers to them;

c.

Pay, withhold, and transmit payroll taxes; provide unemployment insurance and workers' compensation, non-owned auto insurance, benefits; and handle unemployment and workers' compensation claims involving Assigned Employees; and

d.

To the extent Client elects to preserve current employee qualification for ACA and keep them on their current plan, ShiftPixy will process deductions and credits and reimburse Client for total amount each invoice.

 

There are also obligations and requirements upon clients to ensure that the working relationship between the Company and its clients is smooth, efficient and successful.

 

Suppliers

 

As a staffing company, ShiftPixy is considered the employer of shift workers. As such, we have to develop and maintain relationships with various insurance providers to provide the required coverage for persons who are considered our employees. Currently we have insurance providers for the following types of insurance lines:

   

· Commercial General Liability – Zurich

 

 

· Umbrella – Zurich

 

 

· Worker's Compensation – Security National.

 

Shift Human Capital Management, as a separate entity carries a separate Worker's Compensation policy thorough Technology Insurance Company. For CGL/Umbrella, it is covered until August 4, 2017 under the parent policies.

  

Pricing

 

Pricing for services is dependent on several variables ranging from credit, risk exposure, payment terms, payment methods, volume, and potential for growth. Applicable pricing is specified in customer services agreements. The Company typically charges client by marking up the pay of employees or through other bill rates (i.e. the Company charges the client an hourly rate that is a premium (mark-up) to the hourly wage that the Company pays to the employee).

 

 
49
 

 

The mark-up charged by the Company on employees provided varies for a number of reasons. For example, in some arrangements, the marked-up rate charged to the client includes compensation, all taxes, unemployment charges, workers' compensation costs and an administrative fee for the Company. Notably, unemployment withholding and other charges vary by State and these differences impact this mark-up. In addition, workers' compensation cost codes are assigned to the employee based on the job description, which is a significant variable in costs. The Company might charge a higher mark-up to compensate for situations with higher workers' compensation costs. Pricing and the rate of mark-up is also impacted by the relationship of the Company with the applicable customer. Clients that provide a large volume of business (typically over 75 employees) would generally receive discounted rates. On the other hand, clients at which employees have consistently incurred injuries or clients which have a history of injuries in their business will generally be charged an additional mark-up rate to counteract this expected cost and potential liability. Finally, the Company also offers clients discounts when clients refer new employees to the Company.

 

Marketing

 

Many times we are introduced to potential clients by our insurance providers. The worker's compensation component of our services has been the driver for the introductions from our property and casualty agent network. We have found that initially clients are drawn to our system in a desire to outsource worker's compensation coverage for their shift workers. Once we provide these services to our clients, we market the various other aspects of our system as described above.

 

Our marketing efforts are also focused on recent new demands due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) were forcing a new insurance compliance layer into the marketplace for our potential clients with 50 or more employees who are mandated by the ACA to provide health insurance coverage to any employee working over 30 hours per week. As we studied this issue, we observed that employee part-time shift work was increasing. Our shift employees working for our clients are offered health insurance coverage as mandated by the ADA.

 

Currently we market our services ourselves through our management. As our business grows, we plan to hire agent relationship managers to expand and support our alliances with insurance agents and advisors. These managers will be independent contractors and paid on a commission basis.

 

Potential New Marketing Opportunity

 

We have seen a potential new market based upon the issue of worker misclassification in the Gig Economy.Gig Economy companies such as Uber regularly classify the people working for them as "independent contractors" rather than "employees" for jobs (gigs). The companies can pay much less for services and in regulatory requirements if their workers are classified as independent contractors. Under state and federal employment laws, workers classified as employees are much more expensive for these companies.However, increasing litigation against Uber and others has increased awareness about this issue. ShiftPixy provides a solution by absorbing workers for these types of Gig Economy companies as employees of ShiftPixy, eliminating any risk of litigation, fines and other worker misclassification problems for these types of Gig Economy companies which become ShiftPixy clients.

 

ShiftPixy mobile app

 

We have develop ed and launched on Labor Day of 2016 a prototype of the ShiftPixy mobile app, functioning as a proprietary application layer allowing Shifter users to access shift work opportunities that match their skill and interest levels. The Mobile App is designed to bring the user into the ShiftPixy system as an attractive way to balance their availability, need and lifestyle with available shift opportunities. The Mobile App is being designed to allow Shifters to "enhance" their personal skills profile to access a wider range of opportunity.

 

Initially, the only Shifters that would be able to access this system as currently being developed are Shifters who are employees of our employer clients . We are now working to enable this system to allow Shifters who are not employees of our clients to access this system as well, but we have not begun development of this aspect of this system and cannot predict when, if ever, we will be able to add this feature.

 

We estimate that a complete build out of the functionality of the mobile app will cost approximately $ 2 , 250 ,000 . However, other than the proceeds of this offering, we have no agreement, commitment or understanding to secure the needed additional capital.

  

 
50
 

 

We ultimately will generate revenue from the Mobile App as follows: Mobile app users will be charged between $4.99 to $9.99 per month to use the mobile app to access shift opportunities. The more shift opportunities accessed and worked by a user the lower their monthly fee.

  

ShiftPixy Human Capital Management

 

We formed this subsidiary in response to the need to have worker's compensation policies written in the names of the clients (as may be required by some states) and otherwise in response to client needs for only administrative and processing services rather than the full-service, assumption of employee program offered by ShiftPixy. Under this subsidiary, under circumstances wherein the client remains as the sole employer of the subject employees, we act as a payroll processor, human resources consultant, administrator of worker's compensation coverages and claims. For administrative reasons, we believe that providing these services through a separate legal entity seemed advisable and required, and thus we formed the subsidiary to provide these services.

 

These services are also available to businesses in all industries, not just the restaurant and hospitality industries. We hope that this mechanism may become a way to onboard new clients into the ShiftPixy ecosystem when eligible clients to whom we are providing these services recognize the value of the services provided by ShiftPixy, the parent. At February 29, 2016, ShiftableHR had no clients, but as of June 1, 2016, ShiftableHR had 135 clients with 2,795 total  worksite employees, including employees for whom we provide only payroll administration services.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The backbone for our business is software called "HRPyramid," provided by PrismHR (F.W. Davidson & Company, Inc. d/b/a PrismHR) under an Application Service Provider Agreement as assigned to us by XccelerateHR on April 1, 2016. The agreement allows us to use this software so long as the agreement remains in effect. The agreement, as assigned, provides for one year renewal terms, ending March 1 of each subsequent year, with automatic one year renewals unless otherwise terminated (which can be effected by either party with at least 30 days' notice prior to renewal). Thus, the agreement will renew on March 1, 2017, for another one year term unless otherwise terminated.

    

Our proprietary ShiftPixy software with related mobile applications that still has significant additional work to complete is currently being developed and ultimately will be completed under agreement with Kadima Ventures.  We are seeking patent registration with regard to elements of our software, and we have filed a provisional patent application that we plan to supersede with a formal application  in the near future . W e are also seeking trademark registration of the name ShiftPixy , and the trademark has been published for opposition in the Official Gazette.  Our agreement with Kadima Ventures acknowledges that the software as well as the patent(s) being developed is a work made for hire for ShiftPixy, Inc. The copyright in the software as well as the patent(s) belong to ShiftPixy. 

 

Our principal shareholders, Scott Absher and Steve Holmes have assigned to ShiftPixy all of their rights in anything developed and any and all other types of intellectual property related to the ShiftPixy mobile app.

    

Competition

 

The market in which we compete is comprised of many business service and software service providers who deliver one or more of the aspects of our service platform. Insurance carriers provide similar coverages built into our program. In our markets there are as many as a one hundred insurance carriers providing the insurance coverage programs ShiftPixy provides.

  

Payroll and outsource service providers provide similar processing and support platforms. There are hundreds of platform service providers in the market some of the largest of which are ADP, Paychex, Insperity and TriNet.

 

There are staffing companies which provide flex staffing for industry which deliver similar solutions to our market. There are hundreds of staffing service providers in the market some of the largest of which are Allegis Group, Adecco, Randstad Holding, Manpower Group and Kelly Services.

 

There are many software based solutions delivering similar processes and SaaS solutions to the market. Some of the largest are SAP, Oracle, Zenefits, Kronos and Ceridian.

 

 
51
 

 

Because ShiftPixy is a startup, we are very small by comparison to any of the companies in the market delivering one or more of the services we provide. ShiftPixy competes by having a more focused market target where many competitors tend to generalize or focus on very large clients or small business. ShiftPixy has also arranged its service deliverables to be very attractive and unique to our target market with our focus on shift service employees.

 

Industry Regulation

 

Our business is subject to a wide range of complex laws and regulations. In addition, many of our solutions are designed to assist clients with their compliance with certain laws and regulations that apply to them.

 

Many states regulate entities offering the employment related services such as those offered by us directly or through our subsidiary and require licenses as a prerequisite to operation of such enterprises in their respective jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that either ShiftPixy or its subsidiary, Shift Human Capital Management, Inc., will be successful in either securing or maintaining a license or licenses in compliance with a particular state's laws and regulations. Further, many states require variously that worker's compensation policies offered by employment related firms such as ours to be managed according to strict rules and/or that unemployment insurance filings be administered according to strict rules. ShiftPixy and its subsidiary, Shift Human Capital Management, Inc., endeavor to comply with all of the nuances of such laws and regulations, as in the event of a material noncompliance event, a state may decline or withdraw a license to either ShiftPixy or its subsidiary.

 

As a provider of business outsourcing solutions, our systems contain a significant amount of sensitive data related to clients, employees of our clients, vendors and our employees. We are, therefore, subject to compliance obligations under federal and state privacy and data security-related laws, including in the United States, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 with respect to our COBRA and insurance services. We are also subject to foreign, federal and state security breach notification laws with respect to both our own employee data and client employee data. Additionally, the changing nature of privacy laws in the United States could impact our processing of personal information of our employees and on behalf of our clients.

 

As part of our payroll and payroll tax management services, we move client funds to taxing authorities and our clients' employees via electronic transfer, direct deposit, and check. Certain elements of our U.S. money transmission activities, including our electronic payment and prepaid access (payroll pay card) offerings, are subject to certain licensing requirements. In addition, our U.S. prepaid access (payroll card) offering is subject to the anti-money laundering and reporting provisions of The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970. Our employee screening and selection services business offers background checking services that are subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We are subject to various state licensing requirements due to the nature of employer status with some of clients' worksite employees, we may assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under federal and state tax, insurance and employment laws.

 

In addition, we sometimes offer solutions that assist our clients in complying with certain laws and regulations that apply to them. Although the laws and regulations apply to our clients and not to ShiftPixy, changes in such laws or regulations may affect our operations, products and services. For example, our solutions help clients manage their compliance with certain requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the United States. Our COBRA administration services and flexible spending account services in the United States are designed to comply with relevant federal guidelines relating to, respectively, employers' benefits continuation obligations and the requirements of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The foregoing description does not include an exhaustive list of the laws and regulations governing and impacting our business. Changes in laws and regulations that may decrease our revenues and earnings.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to employee staffing business. These matters may include product liability, intellectual property, employment, personal injury cause by our employees, and other general claims. We accrue for contingent liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

We have recently secured a new long-term lease for our office space at 1 Venture, Suite 150, Irvine, CA 92618. Our landlord is Olen Commercial Realty Corporation. Our lease is for a five-year term and for 8,500 square feet. The monthly rental rate escalating from approximately $9,000 to $23,000 per month. This lease began on May 1, 2016 and will expire on June 14, 2021. We consider that this space is sufficient for our current needs, although as we open other offices in other cities, we will need to secure leases in those cities as well.

Involvement in certain legal proceedings.

 

None of the following events have occurred during the past five years and which are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any director or executive officer:

 

 

(1) A petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing; or

Administrative Order and Settlement with State Securities Commissions

 

On June 25, 2013, the Alabama Securities Commission issued a Cease and Desist Order (the "Order") against Scott W. Absher "Respondent". The Order asserted that in March 2011, that Mr. Absher had spoken to an Alabama resident who was an investor in a California business Mr. Absher was considering acquiring. Mr. Absher has said that he was unaware that the acquisition candidate and its investors had poor history with the Alabama Securities Commission or that speaking with the Alabama investors in the business would be construed as a "sales" conversation. The Alabama Order stated that the respondent was to cease and desist from further offers or sales of any security in the State of Alabama.

 

Board Composition

 

Our board of directors currently consists of one member and is authorized to have up to three members. Each director of the Company serves until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and duly qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Our board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices of Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, Chief Executive Officer, one or more vice presidents, a Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer and a Secretary and such other offices as may be determined by the board.

 

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. In selecting board candidates, we seek individuals who will further the interests of our stockholders through an established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to our collaborative culture, knowledge of our business and understanding of our prospective markets.

 

Director Independence

 

Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Listing Rules requires a majority of a listed company's board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the NASDAQ Listing Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

Our board of directors has established committees, to be in effect prior to one year from the date of listing. We have no independent directors. In making such determinations, our board considered the relationships that each such person has with our Company and all the other facts and circumstances our board deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each such person. We intend to add additional independent directors and adopt the policies and procedures set forth below in order to meet listing requirements of a national securities exchange, in accordance with the phase-in provisions of NASDAQ Rule 5615(b).

 

 
54
 

 

Board Committees

 

Prior to one year from the date of listing, our board will establish three standing committees — audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance — each of which will operate under a charter that has been approved by our board. We intend to appoint persons to the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors as required meeting the corporate governance requirements of a national securities exchange, in accordance with the phase-in provisions of NASDAQ Rule 5615(b). We intend to appoint directors in the future so that we have a majority of our directors who will be independent directors.

 

Audit Committee

 

Prior to one year from the date of listing, we will appoint three members of our Board of Directors to the audit committee, one of whom will qualify as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Listing Rules. In making a determination on which member will qualify as a financial expert, our board expects to consider the formal education and nature and scope of such members' previous experience. As described above, we expect to rely on the phase-in provisions of NASDAQ Rule 5615(b) such that at least one member of the audit committee will be independent upon listing, at least two members of the audit committee will be independent within 90 days after listing and the entire audit committee will be independent within one year following listing.

 

Our audit committee will assist our board of directors in its oversight of our accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of our consolidated financial statements. Our audit committee's responsibilities will include:

 

·

appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our registered public accounting firm;

 

·

overseeing the work of our registered public accounting firm, including through the receipt and consideration of reports from such firm;

 

·

reviewing and discussing with management and the registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements and related disclosures;

 

·

monitoring our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of business conduct and ethics;

 

·

overseeing our internal accounting function;

 

·

discussing our risk management policies;

 

·

establishing policies regarding hiring employees from our registered public accounting firm and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting-related complaints and concerns;

 

·

meeting independently with our internal accounting staff, registered public accounting firm and management;

 

·

reviewing and approving or ratifying related party transactions; and

 

·

preparing the audit committee reports required by SEC rules.

 

 
55
 

 

Compensation Committee

 

Prior to one year from the date of listing, we will appoint at least two members of our Board of Directors to the compensation committee. Our compensation committee will assist our board of directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers. The compensation committee's responsibilities will include:

 

·

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to Chief Executive Officer compensation;

 

·

making recommendations to our board with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers;

 

·

overseeing evaluations of our senior executives;

 

·

review and assess the independence of compensation advisers;

 

·

overseeing and administering our equity incentive plans;

 

·

reviewing and making recommendations to our board with respect to director compensation;

 

·

reviewing and discussing with management our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" disclosure; and

 

·

preparing the compensation committee reports required by SEC rules.

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

Prior to one year from the date of listing, we will appoint at least two members of our Board of Directors to the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee's responsibilities will include:

 

·

identifying individuals qualified to become board members;

 

·

recommending to our board the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to be appointed to each committee of our board of directors;

 

·

reviewing and making recommendations to the board with respect to management succession planning;

 

·

developing and recommending corporate governance principles to the board; and

 

·

overseeing periodic evaluations of board members.

 

 
56
 

 

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

 

The board of directors oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The board currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole. Each of the board committees when established will also provide risk oversight in respect of its areas of concentration and reports material risks to the board for further consideration.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The code of conduct is posted on our website and we will post all disclosures that are required by law or NASDAQ rules in regard to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

(1) Mr. J. Stephen Holmes was an officer and director of the Company until his resignation on July 1, 2015.

 

We currently have an oral agreement to pay Mr. Absher $31,250 per month, payable biweekly. This replaces the consulting agreement, which ended in April 2016, with his company Struxurety which drew a $12,000 monthly retainer from ShiftPixy for Mr. Absher's role in the early stage work completed for ShiftPixy.

 

During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company paid $12,000 in professional fees under a consulting agreement with Mr. Holmes for management consulting services. This agreement was also ended in April 2016.

 

Mr. Absher and Mr. Holmes have each signed a waiver and release for all amounts not paid (which amounts are $24,000 each) under their consulting agreements which were in effect for the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to the end of their consulting agreements in April 2016.

  

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Upon formation, we issued Scott Absher, CEO and COO of ShiftPixy, originally 25,000,000 shares , adjusted to 12,500,000 shares as a result of our reverse stock split on October 12, 2016, of Common Stock at par value of $.0001 per share, or $2,500. As of January 27, 2016 we also issued Mr. Absher an option to acquire 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock at $.0001 per share, amended in October 2016 to provide for a proportional adjustment to the number of shares that can be acquired under the option as follows: In the event that, at the time the Option becomes exercisable, the total number of authorized Preferred Shares is less than the lesser of (a) the number of shares of common stock held by the Holders on September 28, 2016, or (b) the number of shares of common stock held by such Holders on the date on which the Option becomes exercisable (such lesser amount of shares of common stock hereinafter referred to as the “Total Holder Shares”), then the number of shares of Preferred Stock that each Holder can purchase in connection with the Option shall be proportionally reduced to a percentage (of such Holder’s Total Holder Shares) that is equal to the percentage calculated by dividing the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock by the Total Holder Shares. The provisions of this Section are subject to the provisions of Section D of the Option.

Mr. Absher is also the Principal at Struxurety, a consulting company. Struxurety drew a $12,000 monthly retainer from ShiftPixy for Mr. Absher's role in the early stage work completed for ShiftPixy. Mr. Absher has transitioned to being a ShiftPixy employee when this consulting agreement with Struxurety terminated in April 2016. During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company paid $12,000 in professional fees under this agreement with Struxurety. During the six-month period ended February 29, 2016, we paid $72,000 under this Agreement.

 

J. Stephan Holmes, a significant shareholder of ShiftPixy, was also the COO at XccelerateHR, LLC, a company that provided payroll processing services to ShiftPixy. During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company incurred $1,109 in fees to XccelerateHR.

 

Mr. Holmes resigned as COO at XccelerateHR on March 31, 2016. XccelerateHR has confirmed that under Mr. Holmes' agreement with XccelerateHR, when he resigned as COO, his full ownership interest, direct or indirect, was forfeited to XccelerateHR . During the six-month period ended February 29, 2016, we paid XccelerateHR $3,216 under the payroll processing agreement. In addition to these fees paid to XccelerateHR, ShiftPixy incurred $9,776 in batch processing and check fees to XccelerateHR during the period from September 1, 2016 to February 29, 2016. The amount was due and outstanding to XccelerateHR as of February 29, 2016.

 

Upon formation, we issued Mr. Holmes originally 25,000,000 shares, adjusted to 12,500,000 shares as a result of our reverse stock split on October 12, 2016, shares of Common Stock at par value of $.0001 per share, or $2,500. As of January 27, 2016 we also issued Mr. Holmes an option to acquire 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock at $.0001 per share, amended in October 2016 to provide for a proportional adjustment to the number of shares that can be acquired under the option as follows: In the event that, at the time the Option becomes exercisable, the total number of authorized Preferred Shares is less than the lesser of (a) the number of shares of common stock held by the Holders on September 28, 2016, or (b) the number of shares of common stock held by such Holders on the date on which the Option becomes exercisable (such lesser amount of shares of common stock hereinafter referred to as the “Total Holder Shares”), then the number of shares of Preferred Stock that each Holder can purchase in connection with the Option shall be proportionally reduced to a percentage (of such Holder’s Total Holder Shares) that is equal to the percentage calculated by dividing the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock by the Total Holder Shares. The provisions of this Section are subject to the provisions of Section D of the Option.

   

On April 1, 2016, we signed an Independent Sales Representative Agreement with XccelerateHR under which they will procure clients for ShiftPixy. They will be paid commissions of 20% of Administrative Fees of Active Clients, as defined in the Agreement. The agreement is for one year and automatically renews unless terminated by either party.The Agreement contains the following provisions:

  

 

1. The Commissions payable hereunder are anticipated to be approximately $25,000 per month.

 

 

 

 

2. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Addendum to the contrary, ShiftPixy shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time, to liquidate its obligation to pay Commissions to Producer by paying a one-time sum, as the "Final Commissions." Such one-time sum shall be negotiated by the parties as a multiple of the gross annual Administrative Fees.

 

 

 

 

3. The parties acknowledge that ShiftPixy has also paid in connection herewith an advance against future Commissions in the amount of $300,000 (the "Advance"). Payments of such Commissions shall resume beginning 12 months after the date of the Advance.

 

 
58
 

 

This matter and the entire set of transactions related thereto was clarified in correspondence between the parties as follows:

 

 

(1) As a means to preserve certain client relationships in connection with the attempted seamless enrollment of such clients with SHCM from XHR, and to maintain worker's compensation insurance coverage with regard to the subject employees, ShiftPixy paid certain worker's compensation premium deposits and other expenses, including miscellaneous payroll related expenses, the total of which, amounting to $374,789.24 (lines 3 + 4 on the attached Exhibit A), effectively benefitted XHR,

 

 

 

 

(2) since ShiftPixy had agreed to pay XHR certain commissions in connection with the enrollment of such clients with SHCM, the parties elected to treat $300,000 of such expenses as an advance against the commissions to be payable from ShiftPixy to XHR (calculating from April 1, 2016, which amount has been offset to date by $100,000, representing commissions for April, May, June and July of 2016), and

 

 

 

 

(3) the balance of the amount owing from XHR to ShiftPixy (apart from the advance against commissions), $74,789.24, may be reduced by certain offsets totaling $85,838.99 (subject to documentation requests, noted below) (line 5 on Exhibit A), leaving a net credit to XHR of $11,049.75 (apart from the advance against commissions), which sum will be separately addressed by the parties as their relationship progresses; if such credit is not otherwise applied against any other amounts owing, ShiftPixy can apply the credit against the advance.

 

The parties also acknowledged, and Sheila Guarderas, individually, also acknowledges, that (a) ShiftPixy has paid to Sheila Guarderas the sum of $15,000 as a "referral fee" associated with the enrollment of clients with ShiftPixy, and (b) such $15,000 fee is considered to be a credit to ShiftPixy for purposes of this document such that the $11,049.75 amount noted above, due to XHR by ShiftPixy, is hereby adjusted to a credit due to ShiftPixy by XHR in the amount of $3,950.25.

 

The parties also acknowledge d that ShiftPixy has requested supporting documentation in the nature of fixed asset schedules for the following expense items, and the same will be considered open pending ShiftPixy's receipt and acknowledgement of documentation supporting the same: Invoice or purchase document for pressure seal machine and 2 check printers (including 1 HP LaserJet).

  

The parties also separately acknowledged that (a) XHR needs to use the HR Pyramid software in the future for certain processing requirements, and/or XHR may request that ShiftPixy assist XHR in using the software to respond to client inquiries associated with client accounts for periods prior to 4/1/2016, and/or XHR and ShiftPixy will cooperate to secure for XHR and/or ShiftPixy, as appropriate, a right to access legacy (pre-4/1/2016) data, and (b) there are some minor open issues regarding payroll tax withholding amounts in connection with payrolls processed by XHR for ShiftPixy, which amounts have not yet been fully reconciled, and the same are accordingly considered to be an open issue between the parties until finally resolved.

 

As a final matter, Sheila Guarderas, individually, and Chestnut Investors, LLC, a California limited liability company, acknowledge that ShiftPixy paid two $5,000 rent payments (for the months of April and May of 2016) to Sheila Guarderas; such payments should have been paid to Chestnut Investors, LLC, as the actual landlord of the property leased. Sheila Guarderas, as a member of Chestnut Investors, LLC, agrees to apply such payments to Chestnut Investors, LLC, and Chestnut Investors, LLC, agrees that the rent for such months has been paid in full.

In addition, during the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company paid $12,000 in professional fees under a consulting agreement with Mr. Holmes for management consulting services. During the six-month period ended February 29, 2016, we paid $72,000 under this Agreement.

 

Struxurety/Mr. Absher and Mr. Holmes have each signed a waiver and release for all amounts not paid under these agreements ($24,000 each) from the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to the end of the Agreements in April 2016.

  

To the best of our knowledge, from inception to our initial fiscal year end on August 31, 2015, and for the six month period ended February 29, 2016, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our Common Stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).

 

Statement of Policy

 

Our board of directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper valuation (or the perception thereof). Prior to one year from the date of listing on NASDAQ, our board of directors will adopt a written policy on transactions with related persons in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Under the policy any related-person transaction, and any material amendment or modification of a related-person transaction, will be required to be reviewed and approved or ratified by a committee of the board of directors composed solely of independent directors who are disinterested, or by the disinterested members of the board of directors and any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation will be required to be recommended by the Compensation Committee to the board of directors for its approval.

 

In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related-person transaction:

 

·

the management must disclose to the audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors, as applicable, the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the material terms of the related-person transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, and all the material facts as to the related person's direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related-person transaction;

 

·

the management must advise the audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors, as applicable, whether the related-person transaction complies with the terms of our agreements governing any material outstanding indebtedness that limit or restrict our ability to enter into a related-person transaction;

 

·

the management must advise the audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors, as applicable, whether the related-person transaction will be required to be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and related rules, and, to the extent required to be disclosed, management must ensure that the related-person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such Acts and related rules; and

 

·

management must advise the audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors, as applicable, whether the related-person transaction constitutes a "personal loan" for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

In addition, the related-person transaction policy will provide that the audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors, as applicable, must consider whether any approval or ratification of a related-person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee would compromise the director or director nominee's status as an "independent", "outside", or "non-employee" director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Internal Revenue Code.

Voting Rights. The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Wyoming law provides for cumulative voting for the election of directors. As a result, any shareholder may cumulate his or her votes by casting them all for any one director nominee or by distributing them among two or more nominees. This may make it easier for minority shareholders to elect a director.

 

Dividends. Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor as well as any distributions to the shareholders. The payment of dividends on the common stock will be a business decision to be made by our board of directors from time to time based upon results of our operations and our financial condition and any other factors that our board of directors considers relevant. Payment of dividends on the common stock may be restricted by loan agreements, indentures and other transactions entered into by us from time to time.

 

Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred stock.

 

Absence of Other Rights or Assessments. Holders of common stock have no preferential, preemptive, conversion or exchange rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. When issued in accordance with our articles of incorporation and law, shares of our common stock are fully paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by us.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to establish classes or series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by our shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by our shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

At present we have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock except currently exercisable options to acquire up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as described below, or to adopt any additional new series, preferences or other classification of preferred stock.

 

 
63
 

 

The 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, constituting all of the authorized Preferred Stock, which would be acquired upon exercise of the option Has the following general rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, as further amended and restated:

 

 

A.

No Dividends: Holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive annual or other dividends.

 

B.

Liquidation Preference: In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of Common Stock an amount equal to their purchase price under this Option, subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and the like on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock("Liquidation Amount").

 

C.

No Conversion: The holders of the Preferred Stock will not have the right to convert their Preferred Stock at any time into shares of Common Stock.

 

D.

Certain Antidilution Protection: There is antidilution protection to the Voting Rights of the Preferred Stock solely subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and the like and not for other matters such as additional stock issuances or price adjustments.

 

E.

Voting Rights:

 

 

1.

Other than Directors. The holders of each share of Preferred Stock will have a right to that number of votes equal to one share of Common Stock.

 

2.

Directors. The holders of Preferred Stock voting separately shall be entitled to elect such number of directors as to be a majority of the Board. The remaining directors shall be elected by the Preferred Stock and Common Stock voting together.

 

3.

Protective Provisions: Consent of the holders of 75% of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Preferred Stock shall be required for: (i) any amendment or change of the rights, preferences, privileges, or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Preferred Stock; (ii) increases or decreases the authorized number of shares of Common or Preferred Stock; (iii) any action that authorizes, creates, or issues shares of any class of stock having preferences superior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock; (iv) any action that reclassifies any outstanding shares into shares having preferences or priority as to dividends or assets senior to or on parity with the preference of the Preferred Stock; (v) any amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that adversely affects the rights of the Preferred Stock; (vi) any merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more other corporations in which the shareholders of the Company immediately after such merger or consolidation hold stock representing less than a majority of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the surviving corporation; (vii) the sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets; (viii) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (ix) the declaration or payment of a dividend on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Common Stock); (x) the license by the Company of any of its Technology of such a manner as to have the same economic effect as a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (xi) the repurchase by the Company of any shares of its capital stock, except redemption or repurchase of shares of common stock from employees or consultants upon termination of their employment or service pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase; or (xii) changes the authorized size of the Company's Board unless required during a future financing.

 

 

F.

This Option may only be exercised upon the following events:

 

 

1.

The acquisition of a Controlling interest by a shareholder other than the Original Holders hereunder.

 

 

a.

Controlling interest" defined. "Controlling interest" means the ownership of outstanding voting shares of the Company sufficient to enable the acquiring person, directly or indirectly and individually or in association with others, to exercise one-fifth or more of all the voting power of the Company in the election of directors or any other business matter on which shareholders have the right to vote under Wyoming Law.

 

 

2.

Prior to any proposed merger, consolidation (in which the Company's common stock is changed or exchanged) or sale of at least 50% of the Company's assets or earning power (other than a reincorporation).

 

 

G.

The right to exercise this option shall terminate on December 31, 2023.

 

H.

This Option is not assignable except to any person or entity deemed an Affiliate of the Option Holder as the term Affiliate is defined under SEC Rule 144.

 

I.

Proportional Adjustment to Option. In the event that, at the time the Option becomes exercisable, the total number of authorized Preferred Shares is less than the lesser of (a) the number of shares of common stock held by the Holders on September 28, 2016, or (b) the number of shares of common stock held by such Holders on the date on which the Option becomes exercisable (such lesser amount of shares of common stock hereinafter referred to as the “Total Holder Shares”), then the number of shares of Preferred Stock that each Holder can purchase in connection with the Option shall be proportionally reduced to a percentage (of such Holder’s Total Holder Shares) that is equal to the percentage calculated by dividing the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock by the Total Holder Shares. The provisions of this Section are subject to the provisions of Section D of the Option.

 
 
64
 

 

Options and Warrants

 

At October 13, 2016, non-affiliate investors own 1,013 ,800 warrants, each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share and 1,013,800 additional warrants, each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. The exercise period for the $2.00 warrants is within one year of the subscription date, the earliest in June 2015 and the most recent in May 2016, and the exercise period for the $3.00 warrant is within two years of the subscription date. As of the date of this Offering Circular, none of these warrants has been exercised.

 

An option  was given to each of the Shareholders of record as of September 28, 2016. The aforesaid Option is as follows: to purchase shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation at $0.0001 per share par value (the “Preferred Stock”) in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the number of shares of common stock held by such Shareholder on September 28, 2016, or (b) the number of shares of common stock held by such Shareholder on date of the Shareholder’s exercise of the aforesaid Option.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects

 

General. Certain provisions of Wyoming law may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or other acquisition transaction that a shareholder might consider to be in his or her best interest. The summary of the provisions of Wyoming law set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Wyoming law.

 

The issuance of shares of preferred stock, the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, and the imposition of certain other adverse effects on any party contemplating a takeover could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if the option to acquire such shares is exercised would impede a business combination by the voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock.

 

Under Wyoming law, a director, in determining what he reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, does not need to consider only the interests of the corporation's shareholders in any takeover matter but may also, in his discretion, may consider any of the following:

 

 

(i) The interests of the corporation's employees, suppliers, creditors and customers;

 

 

 

 

(ii) The economy of the state and nation;

 

 

 

 

(iii) The impact of any action upon the communities in or near which the corporation's facilities or operations are located;

 

 

 

 

(iv) The long-term interests of the corporation and its shareholders, including the possibility that those interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation; and

 

 

 

 

(v) Any other factors relevant to promoting or preserving public or community interests.

 

 
65
 

 

The Options to acquire 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as described above will, if exercised, deter a takeover.

 

Because our board of directors is not required to make any determination on matters affecting potential takeovers solely based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. Our board presently does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to the issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange rules.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Since our inception, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings (if any) will be retained for the development of our business and no dividends will be declared or paid. In the future, our Board of Directors may decide, at their discretion, whether dividends may be declared and paid, taking into consideration, among other things, our earnings (if any), operating results, financial condition and capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.

 

Upon completion of this offering, assuming the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock offered in this offering are sold, there will be 32,463,800   shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

 

Up to 6,250,000 shares of our Common Stock sold in this Offering will be freely tradable in the public market, except to the extent they are acquired by an "affiliate" of ours, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. Under Rule 405, an affiliate of a specified person is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified person. Any affiliate of ours that acquires our shares can only further transact in such shares in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which imposes sales volume limitations and other restrictions on such further transactions. See "— Rule 144", below.

 

Other shares of our Common Stock not sold in this offering will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144, and would tradable only if they are sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, including under Rule 144. See "— Rule 144", below.

 

Finally, as a result of the lock-up agreements being entered into in connection with this offering, and described below under "Lock-Up Agreements", 25,000,000 shares of our Common Stock will be subject to the contractual lock-up provisions, subject to waiver, all as set forth in the lock-up agreements.

 

 
66
 

 

Rule 144

 

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least twelve months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

 

·

1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or

 

·

the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

ShiftPixy Inc. 

Irvine, CA

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ShiftPixy Inc. (the Company) as of August 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ShiftPixy Inc. as August 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and has minimal working capital which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ShiftPixy. Inc.

Notes to the Audited Financial Statements

For the Period from June 3, 2015 (Inception) to August 31, 2015

 

Note 1: Nature of operations

 

ShiftPixy. Inc (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 3, 2015. The Company is a specialized staffing service provider that contracts to provide workers primarily for part-time shift work clients with large contingent part-time workforce demands, primarily in the restaurant, hospitality and maintenance service trades. The Company's initial focus is on the restaurant industry in Southern California.

 

The Company also provides a "back office" human capital management platform for primary employee related duties including payroll, benefits and all regulatory administration and the containment of its risk.

 

Note 2: Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Financial Statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with a commercial bank. The deposits are made with a reputable financial institution and the Company does not anticipate realizing any losses from these deposits.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company derives its revenues from providing a human capital management platform for  primarily  employee related duties including payroll, benefits, all regulatory administration and regulatory risk containment. Revenues comprise 1) admin fees and delivery fees which are the fees charged to clients for providing payroll processing and temporary staffing services, and 2) gross wages which are the wages paid by ShiftPixy and collected from the clients. 3) Workers' compensation premiums collected from clients. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2015 admin fees are reported on a net basis after accounting for processing fees paid by ShiftPixy. For the gross wages paid to client employees, the Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the company bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Adjustments for garnishments, advances paid to employees by clients are reduced from the gross wages billed to ShiftPixy clients. For the payroll processing services provided through the company's platform; ShiftPixy recognizes revenues after a payroll is processed for the client. ShiftPixy recognizes revenues on workers' compensation insurance services as clients are invoiced for the workers' compensation payments.

 

During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) through August 31, 2015, all of the Company's revenues came from one customer located in Southern California.

Income tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Under FASB ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Net income (loss) per share

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common share equivalents available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common share equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no potentially dilutive shares.

 

Cost of services:

 

Direct costs consist of payroll, payroll taxes, payroll processing and workers' compensation costs for the Client employees. Costs of workers' compensation are recognized as payments on the workers' compensation are made.

 

Note 3: Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, and the Company's ability to raise additional capital as required. During the period from inception (June 3, 2015) to August 31, 2015, the Company incurred operating losses of $41,770, and utilized $51,350 in operating cash flows.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

All warrants issued in the period ended August 31, 2015 were issued in conjunction with common shares. Total proceeds were allocated entirely to the shares as warrant fair values were deemed nominal. Significant assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of the warrants included a volatility rate of 20% to 22%, estimated term of the warrants, a risk-free interest rate of 0.33% to 0.69% and a dividend yield of 0%. The Company has not established a historic volatility rate, and management has reviewed volatility rates for a number of companies with similar operations to arrive at an estimated volatility rate for each warrant. The term of the warrants was assumed to range from one to two years, which is the contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate was determined utilizing the treasury rate with a maturity equal to the estimated term of the warrants. Finally, management assumed a zero forfeiture rate as the warrants granted were fully-vested upon purchase.

 

Note 6: Income tax

 

Current income taxes are based upon the year's income taxable for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes (benefits) are provided for certain income and expenses, which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company's deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers would be limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur within a three year period.

 

 
F-10
 

 

As of August 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41,770 which begin to expire in 2029. The deferred tax assets arising from the net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $6,266 as of August 31, 2015. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on management's analysis, they concluded not to retain a deferred tax asset since it is uncertain whether the Company can utilize this asset in future periods. Therefore, they have established a full reserve against this asset. The change in the valuation allowance in 2015 and 2014 was approximately $6,266.

 

A reconciliation of the expected tax computed at the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the total benefit for income taxes at August 31, 2015 is as follows:

Expected tax at 15%

The Company's continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of August 31, 2015, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. Our tax years for 2015 and forward are subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authority.

 

Management has evaluated tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, and has not identified any tax positions, other than those discussed above, that require disclosure.

 

Note 7: Subsequent events:

 

From November 2015 to May 2016, the Company sold 936,300 shares of common stock at $2 per share. Each share includes one warrant to purchase a share of common stock at an exercise price of $2 per share expiring one year from the subscription date, and a warrant to purchase a share of common stock at an exercise price of $3 per share expiring two years from the subscription date.

 

From January 20, 2016 to May 15, 2016, we received stock receivable proceeds for 25,200,000 shares issued to our founders at inception.

 

In January 2016, the board of directors authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. Scott Absher and J. Stephan Holmes were both issued an option to purchase 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock each.

 

The Board of Directors of ShiftPixy, Inc., on October 11, 2016, declared a 1 for 2 reverse securities split, to become effective on October 12, 2016. The exercise prices of the warrants, $2.00 and $3.00, are not affected by the reverse securities split. The stock split was retroactively reflected in these financial statements.

 

Management was evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 855 and has determined that other than listed above, no other subsequent events exist through the date of this filing.

ShiftPixy. Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the N ine months ended May 31, 2016

 

Note 1: Nature of operations

 

ShiftPixy. Inc (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 3, 2015. The Company is a specialized staffing service provider that contracts to provide workers primarily for part-time shift work clients with large contingent part-time workforce demands, primarily in the restaurant, hospitality and maintenance service trades. The Company’s initial focus is on the restaurant industry in Southern California.

 

Shift Human Capital Management, Inc. (SHCM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ShiftPixy, Inc. is incorporated in the State of Wyoming. SHCM provides worker’s compensation coverage written in the names of the clients (as may be required by some states) and otherwise in response to client needs for only administrative and processing services. SHCM performs functions in the nature of a payroll processor, human resources consultant, administrator of worker’s compensation coverages and claims, under circumstances wherein the client remains as the sole employer of the subject employees. These services are also available to businesses in all industries, not just the restaurant and hospitality industries. The company hopes that this mechanism may become a way to onboard new clients into the ShiftPixy ecosystem when eligible clients to whom we are providing these services recognize the value of the services provided by ShiftPixy, the parent.

 

Note 2: Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).


 
F-17
 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

ShiftPixy. Inc. and its subsidiaries have been consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements 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 of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the consolidated financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with a commercial bank. The cash balances at risk as of May 31, 2016 were $1,358,259. The deposits are made with a reputable financial institution and the Company does not anticipate realizing any losses from these deposits.

 

Other assets

 

Other assets constitute of security deposit per lease agreements that ShiftPixy has signed. The security deposits will be applied towards rent per the terms of the lease agreement.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.


 
F-18
 

 

The Company derives its revenues from providing a human capital management platform for primari l y employee related duties including payroll, benefits, all regulatory administration and regulatory risk containment. Revenues comprise 1) admin fees and delivery fees, which are the fees charged to clients for providing payroll processing and temporary staffing services, and 2) gross wages which are the wages paid by ShiftPixy and collected from the clients. 3) w orkers compensation premiums collected from clients 4) t ax arbitrage for SUTA and FUTA collected from clients from customers in contracts where ShiftPixy does not honor limits and taxes are bundled in the overall pricing. For the nine months ending May 31, 2016, admin fees are reported on a net basis after accounting for check fees and monthly maintenance paid by ShiftPixy. Batch processing fees are included in direct costs. For the gross wages paid to client employees, the Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate as the Company bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Adjustments for garnishments, advances paid to employees by clients are reduced from the gross wages billed to ShiftPixy clients. For the payroll processing services provided through the company’s platform; ShiftPixy recognizes revenues after a payroll is processed for the client. ShiftPixy recognizes revenues on worker’s compensation insurance services as clients are invoiced for the workers compensation payments.

 

Cost of services:

 

Direct costs consist of payroll, payroll taxes, payroll processing and worker’s compensation costs for the Client employees. Costs of worker’s compensation are recognized as payments on the workers’ compensation are made.

 

Net income (loss) per share

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common share equivalents available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common share equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive for the nine months ended May 31, 2016, there were no potentially dilutive shares.

 

Note 3: Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, and the Company’s ability to raise additional capital as required. During the nine months ended May 31, 2016 the Company incurred operating losses of $ 375,756 and generated $146,208 in operating cash flows .

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

The commission advance has been offset by $50,000 of commissions earned by Xccelerate HR for April and May of 2016. The remaining commissions advance balance as of May 31, 2015 was $250,000.

 

As a means to preserve certain client relationships in connection with the attempted seamless enrollment of such clients with Shiftable HR from Xccelerate HR, and to maintain worker’s compensation insurance coverage with regard to the subject employees, ShiftPixy paid certain worker’s compensation premium deposits and other expenses to Xccelerate HR, including miscellaneous payroll related expenses which amounted to $374,789 for the benefit of Xccelerate HR. This balance also included $73,482 of Shiftable HR receivables received at Xccelerate HR. As noted previously, ShiftPixy agreed to pay Xccelerate HR commissions in connection with the enrollment of such clients with ShiftableHR. The parties elected to treat $300,000 of the expenses ShiftPixy paid on behalf of Xccelerate HR as an advance against the commissions to be paid to Xccelerate HR.

Code of Conduct

ShiftPixy, Inc.

 

September 26, 2016

 

The fundamental principles of honesty, integrity, fairness and diligence should guide the directors, officers and employees of ShiftPixy, Inc., in the conduct of all activities of the Company. Abiding by such principles will ensure the greatest potential for individual professional success as well as the success of our mission. Elements of such principles are incorporated into this Code of Conduct, which applies to the directors, officers and employees of the Company.

 

This Code of Conduct should be considered as a supplement to our Employee Handbook as well as other policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Company. This Code of Conduct should also be considered as a supplement to applicable legal requirements, and to the extent this Code of Conduct conflicts with applicable law, this Code of Conduct should be deemed to be superseded by such law. The Company reserves the right to make changes from time to time to this Code of Conduct as it deems necessary or appropriate.

 

1. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

 

The Company complies with all applicable laws and regulations in the conduct of its activities and expects its directors, officers and employees to do the same. All directors, officers and employees must respect and obey the laws of all jurisdictions in which we operate. Although not all directors, officers and employees are expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel. Company personnel who learn of questionable auditing, accounting or internal control matters are expected to report such matters to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors in accordance with the procedures which have been established by the Audit Committee, or, prior to the formation to such Committee, to the Legal Department. All Company personnel are expected to help the Company make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, in all reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in all other public communications made by the Company.

 

2. Conflicts of Interest

 

It is the policy of the Company to avoid situations that create an actual or potential conflict between the personal interests of a director, officer or employee and the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest exists when a person's loyalties or actions are divided between the interests of the Company and those of another, such as a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company, or between the interests of the Company and the person's own personal business. A conflict situation can arise when a director, officer or employee takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult for him or her to perform his or her services for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when a director, officer or employee, or members of his or her family, receive improper personal benefits as a result of such person's position in the Company. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest can adversely affect the Company and its relationships with its customers, suppliers and employees. The appearance of a conflict should therefore also be avoided whenever possible. If an employee believes that he or she may have interests in conflict with the interests of the Company, the employee is encouraged to consult with the Company's Legal Department to determine whether a potential or actual conflict of interest or appearance of conflict exists and whether action and/or a waiver of this Code is necessary. In the event a director or officer believes that he or she may have interests in conflict in with the Company's interests, such director or officer should also consult with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, or, prior to the formation to such Committee, with the Legal Department, to determine whether a conflict or appearance of conflict exists and whether action and/or a waiver of this Code is necessary. Employees are expected to use good judgment, to adhere to high ethical standards and to avoid situations that create an actual or potential conflict of interest. It is almost always a conflict of interest for a Company employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier of ShiftPixy. Similarly, a Company employee may not work as a consultant or board member for a competitor of the Company. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connections with our customers, suppliers or competitors, except on our behalf. Conflicts of interest may also arise with respect to the employment by customers, suppliers or competitors of relatives and other persons with you have close personal relationships. If an employee or someone with whom an employee has a close relationship (for example, a family member or close companion) has a financial or employment relationship with a competitor, supplier, customer or potential supplier or customer of the Company, the employee must disclose this fact in writing to the Company's Legal Department. Federal law now prohibits most loans or extensions of credit from a company whose stock is publicly traded to its directors or executive officers. The Company will not directly or indirectly extend any loan or credit to any director or executive officer except as permitted by law and approved by a vote of the disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors.

3. Gifts, Gratuities and Business Entertainment

 

The purpose of business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage with customers. Company employees must not seek or accept gifts or gratuities in the form of services or other items of value from ShiftPixy customers, other business partners or other parties with whom the Company contracts. Company employees must not offer or give anything of value to any individual or entity that could be or appear to be a bribe or otherwise illegal payment. These prohibitions do not apply to items of truly nominal value such as generally free promotional items, assuming these items are not otherwise prohibited by applicable law or custom. Company employees should never accept anything that would appear to create a conflict of interest. In the unusual situation where refusal to accept a true gift might hurt ShiftPixy’s business, please consult with an appropriate ShiftPixy officer of concerning the proper means of resolving the situation.

 

Extending or accepting invitations to reasonable meals, public events and similar business activities incurred for bona fide business purposes are generally acceptable, assuming the costs are not disproportionate to the business purpose and otherwise do not create the fact or appearance of a conflict of interest. Company employees are expected to avoid sponsoring or accepting invitations to highly expensive events funded with corporate funds or personal celebrations such as birthday parties with costs paid with corporate funds at which the business purpose may appear incidental. Attending entertainment events that may appear contrary to professional standards of conduct should be avoided. Government officials should not be invited to entertainment events without first assuring that appropriate the Legal Department approves the invitation and confirms that it is not prohibited by law.

 

4. Impermissible Activities Regarding the Company’s Securities

 

Federal and state securities laws prohibit trading on material, non-public information or communicating such information to others. This conduct is commonly referred to as “insider trading.” Although the federal securities laws do not define the term “insider trading” and the law on this issue is evolving, it is generally understood that the law prohibits: 1) trading by an insider while in possession of material non-public information; or 2) trading by a non-insider, while in possession of material non-public information, where the information was either disclosed to the non-insider in violation of an insider’s duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated; or 3) communicating material non-public information to others.

 
 
Page 2 of 8
 

  

 

 

 

The term “insider” includes directors, officers and employees of a company. In addition, persons can become “temporary insiders” due to access to information as a result of a special confidential relationship—i.e. investment advisers may become temporary insiders of a company that it advises. “Material information” is generally defined as information for which there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making investment decisions or information which would substantially affect the market price of the security if disclosed. Examples of “material information” include proposed mergers and acquisitions, earnings reports, impending liquidation or bankruptcy, and significant litigation or regulatory action. Information is considered to be “non-public” until it has been effectively communicated to the marketplace—e.g., reports filed with the SEC or information published in business publications or news wires.

 

The penalties for insider trading are severe and may include dismissal of employment, civil injunctions, treble damages, disgorgement of all profits, jail sentences, and fines for the employee as well as the Company.

 

Accordingly, each director, officer and employee must adhere to these guidelines:

 

·

You may not buy or sell any Company securities when you have material, non-public information about the Company.

 

·

Similarly, you may not engage in transactions in the securities of another company when you have inside information of the company that you obtained through your employment.

 

·

You may not share confidential Company information with anyone either inside (unless on a "need to know" basis) or outside the Company.

 

·

You should not engage in speculative transactions involving the Company's securities, such as exchange-traded options, short-sales or derivative instruments.

 

·

In addition, you should not share any non-public information with any securities industry professional (such as a broker or analyst) or any Company stockholder or the press. To avoid issues, all inquiries for information from these persons should be directed to the Legal Department.

 

See the Company’s Insider Trading Policy for more details.

 

5. Corporate Opportunities

 

Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from taking, for themselves personally and without the consent of the Company's Board of Directors, opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position. No employee may use corporate property, information or position for personal gain, and no employee may compete with the Company directly or indirectly. Directors, officers and employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. Employees shall not engage in any unfair competition with the Company. For a period of one year immediately following the termination of employment, or such other period as may be set out in any agreement between the Company and an employee, and in addition to any other post-employment restrictions set forth in any such agreement, employees shall not directly or indirectly (1) make known to any person, firm or corporation the names or addresses of any of the customers or suppliers of the Company or any other information pertaining to them or (2) call on, solicit, take away or attempt to call on any of the customers or suppliers of the Company on whom he or she called, or with whom he or she became acquainted during employment with the Company, either for himself or herself or for any other person, firm or corporation with respect to any business competitive with the business of the Company. Employees also shall not, either during their employment with ShiftPixy or for a period of one year thereafter (or such other period as may be set forth in any agreement between the Company and an employee) solicit any of the Company's employees or consultants for a competing business or otherwise induce or attempt to induce such employees or consultants to terminate their employment or consulting relationship with the Company.

6. Competition and Fair Dealing

 

We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner's consent or inducing disclosure of such information by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each ShiftPixy employee should endeavor to respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice.

 

Company personnel should not engage a competitor in discussions, agreements or understandings concerning prices or allocations of territories, customers or sales. In addition, Company personnel should avoid discussing with a competitor any other agreements inhibiting free and open competition or without approval of the Legal Department of the Company, involving tie-in sales or reciprocal transactions.

 

7. Equal Employment and Working Conditions

 

Each of us has a fundamental responsibility to show respect and consideration to our co-workers. The diversity of the Company's employees is a tremendous asset. We are firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and will not tolerate any illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. All employment practices and decisions, including without limitation those involving recruiting, hiring, transfers, promotions, compensation, benefits, discipline and termination, will be conducted without regard to race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, or age and will comply with all applicable laws. Examples and further guidance are contained in ShiftPixy's Employee Handbook.

 

8. Health and Safety

 

The Company strives to provide each employee with a safe and healthful work environment. Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all ShiftPixy employees by following safety and health rules and practices and reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions. Violence and threatening behavior are not permitted. Employees should report to work in condition to perform their duties, free from the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol. The use of alcohol and illegal drugs in the workplace will not be tolerated.

9. Record Keeping

 

The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions. All of the Company's books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company's transactions and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company's system of internal controls. All Company business data, records and reports must be prepared truthfully and accurately. Business records and communications often become public, and we should avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies that can be misunderstood. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memos and formal reports. Records should always be retained or destroyed according to the Company's document retention policies.

 

10. Confidentiality of Company Information and Trade Secrets of Others

 

Persons who come into possession of Company information must safeguard the information from the public and not intentionally or inadvertently communicate it to any person unless the person has a need to know the information for legitimate, Company-related reasons. This duty of confidentiality is important both as to the Company's competitive position and with respect to the securities laws applicable to the Company as a public company. Consistent with the foregoing, all Company personnel, agents and representatives should be discrete with respect to inside information and not discuss it in public places. Such information should be divulged only to persons having a need to know it in order to carry out their job responsibilities. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, Company personnel, agents and representatives should refrain from providing advice or making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of the Company's securities.

 

Confidential information related to the Company can include a variety of materials and information regarding the ongoing operations and plans of the Company. For example, confidential information can include mobile application or other software development designs, programming techniques and algorithms, source code, information regarding the financial health of the Company, salary and personnel information, and marketing and sales plans. Confidential information also includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers or suppliers, if disclosed. Confidential information will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be disclosed by any employee, representative, or agent to any third party unless the third party has signed a nondisclosure agreement approved by appropriate Company personnel and the specific disclosure also has been approved by such personnel. The confidential information can only be disclosed by an employee, representative or agent for limited purposes where the confidential information is needed. Company personnel, representatives and agents must maintain the confidentiality of confidential or proprietary information entrusted to them by the Company or others, except when disclosure is authorized in writing by appropriate personnel or required by laws or regulations.

 

Employees, representatives and agents must not bring onto the premises of the Company or use in the performance of their responsibilities any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any previous employer or any other person to whom they have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that previous employer or person. Company personnel, representatives and agents must not intentionally or inadvertently breach any agreement to keep knowledge or data in confidence or in trust and entered into prior to employment with the Company. During employment by the Company, no confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or other parties shall be improperly used by or disclosed to the Company. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends in accordance with the confidentiality agreement signed at the start of employment with the Company.

11. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

 

No secret or unrecorded fund of Company assets or cash shall be established or maintained for any purpose. Anyone spending or obligating Company funds should be sure that the transaction is properly and appropriately documented and that the Company receives the appropriate value in return. All employees should endeavor to protect the Company's assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company's profitability. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation. Company equipment should not be used for non-Company business, although incidental personal use may in certain instances be permitted. The Company licenses the use of much of its computer software from a variety of outside companies. The Company does not own this software or its related documentation and, unless authorized by the software developer, does not have the right to reproduce it. With regard to the use of software on local area networks or on multiple machines, employees shall only use the software in accordance with the applicable license agreement.

 

12. Political Contributions and Payments to Government Personnel

 

Company personnel may participate in political activities on their own time and at their own expense. Federal law and many state and local laws prohibit corporate contributions to political parties or candidates. Company assets, facilities and resources may not be used for political purposes except in accordance with law and after approval by the Company's Board of Directors. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. It is strictly prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country. In addition, the U.S. government has a number of laws and regulations regarding business gratuities which may be accepted by U.S. government personnel. The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U.S. government of a gift, favor or other gratuity in violation of these rules would not only violate Company policy but could also be a criminal offense. State and local governments, as well as foreign governments, may have similar rules.

 

13. Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Any waiver of this Code for executive officers or directors may be made only with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors or such committee of the Board as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate. Following a public offering of the Company’s securities, any such waiver must also be promptly disclosed in a Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations. Any waiver of this Code for employees, consultants or other agents may only be made by the Company's CEO, who shall, when appropriate, act after consultation with the Legal Department or with the Board or a committee designated by the Board.

 
 
Page 6 of 8
 

 

 

 

 

14. Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior

 

Employees are responsible for being aware of the Company's policies applicable to their activities and to comply with them fully. Employees also have a duty to report any apparent misconduct through appropriate management channels or any special and/or confidential reporting mechanisms which may be established within the Company for such purposes, and to assist the Company in the prevention and correction of such problems. Employees are encouraged to talk to supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel about observed illegal or unethical behavior and, about the best course of action in a particular situation. Employees who know or have good reason to believe that other employees are engaged in conduct violating this Code should report this to the Company's Legal Department. No supervisor shall retaliate against an employee, either directly or indirectly, who in good faith and in accordance with Company's procedures, reports an act of apparent misconduct. Employees are also expected to cooperate fully with the Company or governmental authorities in any investigation of an alleged violation of this Code. Failure of any employee to comply with such policies will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination and/or referral to governmental authorities for prosecution. An employee seeking further clarification or interpretation of the policies highlighted in this Code should contact the Company's Legal Department.

 

Because ShiftPixy takes violations of its Code of Conduct seriously, we have contracted with an outside vendor to provide a confidential, anonymous hotline for reporting violations as follows:

 

By phone: 1-844-490-0002.

 

Using our outside vendor’s secure website at www.lighthouse-services.com/shiftpixy.

 

By email at reports@lighthouse-services.com (must include company name with report)

 

By fax: (215) 689-3885 (must include company name with report)

15. Compliance Procedures

 

We must all work to ensure prompt and consistent action against violations of this Code. However, in some situations it is difficult to know right from wrong. Since we cannot anticipate every situation that will arise, it is important that we have a way to approach a new question or problem. These are the steps to keep in mind:

 

· Make sure you have all the facts. In order to reach the right solutions, we must be as fully informed as possible.

 

 

· Ask yourself: What specifically am I being asked to do? Does it seem unethical or improper? This will enable you to focus on the specific question you are faced with and the alternatives you have. Use your judgment and common sense; if something seems unethical or improper, it probably is.

 

 

· Clarify your responsibility and role. In most situations, there is shared responsibility. Are your colleagues informed? It may help to get others involved and discuss the problem.

 

 

· Discuss the problem with your supervisor. This is the basic guidance for all situations. In many cases, your supervisor will be more knowledgeable about the question and will appreciate being brought into the decision-making process. Remember that it is your supervisor's responsibility to help solve problems.

 

 

· Seek help from Company resources. In the rare case where it may not be appropriate to discuss an issue with your supervisor or where you do not feel comfortable approaching your supervisor with your question, discuss it with the Company's Legal Department.

 

 

· You may report ethical violations in confidence and without fear of retaliation. If your situation requires that your identity be kept secret, your anonymity will be protected. The Company does not permit retaliation of any kind against employees for good faith reports of ethical violations.

 

 

· Always ask first, act later. If you are unsure of what to do in any situation, seek guidance before you act.

EXHIBIT 8.1

 


ESCROW SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

This Escrow Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [●], 2016, by and between JumpStart Securities, LLC (“JumpStart Securities”, or “Escrow Agent”), ShiftPixy, Inc. (“Issuer”), and W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC (“WRH+Co”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Issuer proposes to offer for sale to investors as disclosed in its offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) File No. [●], shares of its common stock (the “Securities”) pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, underwritten by WRH+Co on a best efforts basis (the “Offering”), in the minimum amount of $[●] (the “Minimum Amount of the Offering”) and the maximum amount of $[●] (the “Maximum Amount of the Offering”).

 

WHEREAS, Issuer and WRH+Co desire to establish an Escrow Account in which funds received from prospective investors (“Subscribers”) will be held during the Offering, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. JumpStart Securities agrees to serve as Escrow Agent with respect to such Escrow Account in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein to be held at a FDIC insured bank (the “Bank”), in a segregated account as defined below.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.

Establishment of Escrow Account. Prior to the date the SEC issues a qualification for the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Offering Statement and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) issues a no objection opinion (the “Qualification Date”), the Escrow Agent shall establish an account at the Bank, entitled “JumpStart Securities as Agent for ShiftPixy, Inc.Escrow Account” (the “Escrow Account”). The Escrow Account shall be a segregated, deposit account at the Bank. All parties agree to maintain the Escrow Account and escrowed funds in a manner that is compliant with SEC Rules 10b-9 and 15c2-4, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

2.

Escrow Period. The Escrow Period shall begin on the Qualification Date and shall terminate in whole or in part upon the earlier to occur of the following:

 

a.

The date upon which subscription amounts for the Maximum Amount of the Offering required to be sold have been deposited and cleared in the Escrow Account. The Escrow Account shall remain open pending receipt of Securities to meet the Maximum Amount of the Offering; or

 

b.

[●], as may be extended for up to thirty (30) days pursuant to written notice from Issuer and WRH+Co (the “Minimum Termination Date”); or

 

c.

The date upon which a determination is made by Issuer and/or its authorized representatives to terminate the Offering prior to closing.


 
1
 

 

 

 

During the Escrow Period, the parties agree that (i) Escrow Account and escrowed funds will be held for the benefit of the Subscribers, and that (ii) the Issuer is not entitled to any funds received into escrow, and that no amounts deposited into the Escrow Account shall become the property of Issuer or any other entity, or be subject to any debts, liens or encumbrances of any kind of Issuer or any other entity, until the Issuer has triggered closing of such funds. Even after the sale of securities to Subscribers, the Issuer may elect to continue to leave funds in the Escrow Account in order to protect Subscribers as needed.

   

In addition, Issuer and Escrow Agent acknowledge that the total funds raised cannot exceed the Maximum Amount of the Offering permitted by the Offering Statement. Issuer represents that no funds have yet been raised for the Issuer and that all funds to be raised for the Offering will be deposited in the Escrow Account established by JumpStart Securities at the Bank.

 

 

 

3.

Deposits into the Escrow Account. All Subscribers or their agents will be instructed by Issuer or its agents to transfer funds by wire directly, or indirectly through a clearing agent identified by WRH+Co, into the Escrow Account. Escrow Agent shall cause the Bank to process all Escrow Amounts for collection through the banking system and shall maintain an accounting of each deposit posted to its ledger, which also sets forth, among other things, each Subscriber’s name and address, the quantity of Securities purchased, and the amount paid. All monies so deposited in the Escrow Account and which have cleared the banking system are hereinafter referred to as the "Escrow Amount." Issuer or its agents shall promptly, concurrent with any new or modified subscription, provide Escrow Agent with a copy of the Subscriber’s signed subscription agreement and other information as may be reasonably requested by Escrow Agent in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. As required by government regulations pertaining to the US Treasury, Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and the SEC, federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, reasonably verify and record information that identifies each person (natural person or legal entity, including its authorized persons) who funds and executes securities transactions. Information requested of the Issuer and Subscribers will be typical information requested in the gathering and verification guidelines and best practices promulgated by anti-money laundering (“AML”) rules and regulations and those regulatory agencies that enforce them. Escrow Agent is under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any wire delivered to it hereunder.

 

 

 

 

 

Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation in the Escrow Account of any Subscriber to the extent Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws or to eliminate practices that are not consistent with securities industry laws, rules, regulations or best practices. Escrow Agent may at any time reject or return funds to any Subscriber (i) that do not clear background checks (anti-money laundering, USA PATRIOT Act, social security number issues, etc.) to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, or, (ii) for which Escrow Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it would be improper or unlawful for Escrow Agent to accept or hold the applicable Subscriber’s funds, as Escrow Agent, due to, among other possible issues, issues with the Subscriber or the source of the Subscriber’s funds. Escrow Agent shall promptly inform Issuer of any such return or rejection.

 

4.

Disbursements from the Escrow Account. In the event Escrow Agent does not receive written instructions from the Issuer and WRH+Co to release funds from the Escrow Account on or prior to the termination of the Escrow Period, Escrow Agent shall terminate Escrow Account and make a full and prompt return of funds so that refunds are made to each Subscriber in the exact amount received from said Subscriber, without deduction, penalty, or expense to Subscriber.

 

 

 

 

 

In the event Escrow Agent receives cleared funds for the Minimum Amount of the Offering prior to the termination of the Escrow Period and Escrow Agent receives a written instruction from Issuer and WRH+Co (generally via notification in the application programming interface (“API”)), Escrow Agent shall, pursuant to those instructions, distribute funds from such Escrow Account pursuant to the instructions of Issuer. Issuer and WRH+Co acknowledge that there is a 24-hour (one business day) processing time once a request has been received to break escrow. Issuer’s and WRH+Co’s written instructions to Escrow Agent shall certify that all conditions set forth in the Offering Statement for release of funds have been met for a closing of the Offering and include a schedule of deductions from the Escrow Account for any funds for management and offering and selling expenses from the gross proceeds of the Escrow Account prior to remitting such funds, if and when due, to Issuer. Escrow Agent is hereby directed to remit such funds as directed by Issuer directly to the appropriate parties, if any, to which they are due. Net proceeds (meaning gross proceeds less amounts remitted pursuant to Issuer’s instructions to brokers and other parties, and minus interest earned or accumulated in the Escrow Account) will then be remitted to Issuer as described above. Interest earned or accumulated in the Escrow Account shall be retained by the Escrow Agent or distributed to Subscribers as set forth in item 6 below.


 
2
 

 

5.

Collection Procedure. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, upon receipt of Subscriber funds not transmitted directly into the Escrow Account, to promptly deposit them in the Escrow Account. Any Subscriber funds which fail to clear or are subsequently reversed, including but not limited to wire recalls, shall be debited to the Escrow Account, with such debits reflected on the escrow ledger. Any and all fees paid by Issuer for funds receipt and processing are non-refundable, regardless of whether ultimately cleared, failed, rescinded, returned or recalled. In the event of any Subscriber refunds, returns or recalls after funds have already been remitted to Issuer, then Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees to immediately and without delay or dispute send equivalent funds to Escrow Agent to cover the refund, return or recall. If Issuer has any dispute or disagreement with its Subscriber then that is separate and apart from this Agreement and Issuer will address such situation directly with said Subscriber, including taking whatever actions necessary to return such funds to Subscriber, but Issuer shall not involve Escrow Agent in any such disputes.

 

6.

Investment of Escrow Amount. Escrow Agent may, at its discretion, invest any or all of the Escrow account balance as permitted under SEC Rule 15c2-4. This generally means short term investments in: (1) bank accounts, (2) bank money-market accounts, (3) short term certificates of deposit issued by a bank, and/or (4) short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U S Government. Up to $5,000 in interest accumulated on the balance (the “Maximum Retained Interest”) is the property of Escrow Agent as part of its compensation. Any interest over and above the Maximum Retained Interest will be distributed to each Subscriber in the same proportion as such Subscriber’s investment bears to the gross proceeds of the Offering.

 

7.

Escrow Administration Fees, Compensation of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent will charge Escrow Administration Fees to Issuer as described on Exhibit A Hambrecht is liable to Escrow Agent to pay and agrees to pay Escrow Agent. No fees, charges or expense reimbursements of Escrow Agent are reimbursable, and such fees are not subject to pro-rata analysis. All fees and charges may be made via either the Issuer’s credit card or ACH information on file with JumpStart Securities are due when incurred. It is acknowledged and agreed that no fees, reimbursement for costs and expenses, indemnification for any damages incurred by the Issuer or the Escrow Agent shall be paid out of or chargeable to the investor funds on deposit in the Escrow Account.

 

8.

Term and Termination. This Agreement will remain in full force during the Escrow Period. Even after this Agreement is terminated, certain provisions will remain in effect, including, but not limited to, Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement.

 

9.

Binding Arbitration, Applicable Law and Venue, Attorneys Fees: This Agreement is governed by, and will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the regulations of the SEC and FINRA, and laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Any claim or dispute arising under this Agreement may only be brought in arbitration, pursuant to the rules of FINRA, with venue in New York City, New York. Each of the parties hereby consents to this method of dispute resolution, as well as jurisdiction, and waives any right it may have to object to either the method, venue or jurisdiction for such claim or dispute. Any award an arbitrator makes will be final and binding on all parties and judgment on it may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Furthermore, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover damages plus reasonable attorney’s fees.

10.

Liability. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security interest exists in the Escrow Amounts, the Escrow Account or any part thereof or to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Escrow Account or any part thereof.

 

11.

Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold JumpStart Securities and its affiliates, directors, employees, service providers, officers, agents, and partners and third-party service providers, including the Bank (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of this Agreement and/or arising from a breach of any provision in this Agreement, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Parties. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive termination of this Agreement. JumpStart Securities reserves the right to assume, at its sole expense, the exclusive defense and control of any such claim or action and all negotiations for settlement or compromise, and you agree to reasonably cooperate with JumpStart Securities in the defense of any such claim, action, settlement or compromise negotiations, as requested by JumpStart Securities.

 

12.

Entire Agreement, Severability and Force Majeure. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between Issuer and JumpStart Securities regarding the Escrow Account. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Furthermore, no party shall be responsible for any failure to perform due to acts beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, terrorism, shortage of supply, labor difficulties (including strikes), war, civil unrest, fire, floods, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failures, internet interruptions, vendor failures (including information technology providers), or other similar causes.

 

13.

Changes. Escrow Agent may, at its sole discretion, comply with any new, changed, or reinterpreted regulatory or legal rules, laws or regulations, and any interpretations thereof, and without necessity of notice, to modify either this Agreement and/or the Escrow Account to comply or conform to such changes or interpretations. Furthermore, all parties agree that this Agreement shall continue in full force and be valid, unchanged and binding upon any successors of JumpStart Securities, Issuer and WRH+Co.

Dear Sirs:

 

We have acted as counsel to ShiftPixy, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A (No. 021-271821) (as amended, the “Offering Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
