We enable retailers to grow their business, using mobile commerce to better engage their customers, both in-store and online – no code required.

 

Location of Business Operations. While we maintain an office address in the United States, specifically at 30 North Gould Street, Suite 2990, Sheridan, WY 82801, our business operations are primarily managed and conducted out of our corporate location in Israel, located at Atrium Tower, 18th floor, Zeev Jabotinsky St 2, Ramat Gan, 5250501, Israel. We intend to expand our business operations to the United States in the future, but at this time we do not have definitive dates on which such expansion may occur.

Our multi-model, plug and play mobile commerce platform enables retailers to launch their own branded mobile application serving as an additional sales channel in a matter of a few hours – no code required.

It allows retailers to effortlessly build a complete mobile commerce platform from scratch, adding additional features as their business grows and needs advance. A modular stack of technology also enables us to target retailers who has an existing mobile commerce solution as they can merely plug into one our specific features enriching their offering. bile commerce suite, where the retailer can and as their business needs develop.

 

Principal products

Adding mobile as an additional sales channel enables retailers to grow its customer loyalty and its revenues.

Marketing, Sales and Customer Service

 

Due to the dynamic nature of SaaS platforms and the market sector we are targeting, we have decided to focus on being a product-led company, merge the marketing, sales and customer success teams into one department, providing a complete customer-centric approach. This approach gives us a 360 view of the customer journey and ensures that we can act in real-time to acquire new customers and provide the relevant support when and where needed to retain the customers we have acquired. Using the latest marketing discipline called Product led Growth Hacking and automation we will be able to support and focus on rapid and optimized growth, consisting of both a process and a set of cross-disciplinary (digital) skills. Our goal is to regularly conduct testing that will lead to improving the customer journey and replicate and scale the ideas that work and modify or abandon the ones that don’t before spending vast amounts of resources. Once a plan has been validated, it is automated and the system works by itself reducing overheads and lowering the cost of customer acquisition (“CAC”).

 

 

To ensure we provide retailers the optimal results when using our platform our focus will not merely be on sales cycles but creating a community where they can learn and grow with plenty of engagement and educational information such as blogs, webinars, and affiliation programs.

 

Competitive Strengths

 

It is important to emphasize that we are not App developers -hence our direct competitors are not other app developers (which there are plenty off in the market). What we provide is a mobile commerce platform that provides retailers software that enables them (big and small, offline and online) to build their own application without one line of code or any development needed from their side.

 

We differentiate our products primarily through functional points of difference between our products and those of our competitors, including:

 

- Intuitive drag and drop dashboards that enable merchants to build their own branded mobile application

 

- Patented single product display graphical user interface – called the shelf that makes mobile shopping truly mobile and is truly unique to our application

 

- An advanced in-app marketing suite consisting of features such as shoppable videos and barkers, which has been shown to increase up-selling and cross selling threefold and increase product impression by 400%, based on recorded Shelfy performance in the Kruidvat health and beauty chain in the Netherlands versus commonly served retail shopping apps.

Market Analysis

 

With the number of mobile users currently at 5.22 billion and growing, based on a report published by Oberlo, there’s nothing to indicate that mobile commerce growth will stop anytime soon. Not only is the number of mobile users increasing, but the total time spent on mobile devices marking a 24.5 percent increase in just five years., Mobile commerce share figures have also been on an upward trend.

 

We currently have four (4) customers, three (3) of which are currently using our recently launched SaaS product.  Our market analysis is based on published statistics and reports in the mobile commerce industry, as well as Shelfy’s recorded performance based on data collected from a former European client in Belgium and the Netherlands over a period of twelve months, prior to our acquisition of certain assets from Royal App. 

 

Business Model

 

We have a purely Business to Business to Customer ("B2B2C") business model. We license our software direct to businesses who in turn sell their goods to the end user, the customer (our end user). We will charge retailers a monthly usage fee using a combination of persona-based and per-feature pricing models, where distinct packages align to a specific type of customer persona based on:

 

• Gross merchandise value (GMV)

 

• market segment

 

• physical/online store presence.

 

Experienced Leadership Team

 

The combination of operating skills from our management team with the experience of successfully leading major retail and mobile commerce companies gives our organization a significant strength relative to most small- and medium-sized companies.

 

Going Concern

 

Our auditors have expressed, in their report to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Growth Strategies

 

Our primary long-term goal is to become one of the market leaders within the Mobile Commerce sector,  providing an additional sales channel which merchants and retailers of all sizes can add to their existing business.  We intend to achieve this goal by driving organic growth through third-party integrated platforms, across all major retail channels where repeat purchases occur and  in all major markets where e-commerce has been adopted and in markets where the use and launch of e-commerce shops are on the rise.

 

Our key growth strategies include the following:

 

 

developing a powerful, performance-oriented, and metric-driven organizational culture;

 

 

 

 

developing automated marketing, sales and customer service tool kits to empower our sales force network to engage with global customers;

 

 

 

 

developing brand/marketing tool kits for current and new products and segments, to make onboarding as efficient and seamless as possible;

 

 

 

 

● 

Launching and expanding our SaaS products domestically and internationally;

 

 

 

 

● 

strengthening our supply chain to achieve best in class costs, on-time/as promised products and customer service;

 

 

 

 

● 

improving margins with improved efficiency, and improved net revenue per case with new products;

 

 

 

 

● 

upgrading infrastructure, systems and processes with enterprise resource planning systems, improved financial reporting, operating expense control, and strengthened key metrics and accounting and control procedures; and

 

 

 

 

● 

strengthening our financial foundation via accessing the capital markets, solidifying long-term banking partners and facilities, and pursuing transformative organic and external growth.

Recent Developments

 

On March 30, 2021, the Company announced that its newly-formed, wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. had received notification of approval from the Lod District Court in Israel for its winning bid to acquire certain assets of Royal App, Ltd,. out of insolvency proceedings for approximately $2.4 million USD in cash as well as 8% equity in the Company on a diluted basis, post conversion of the Company’s preferred common stock and certain other proposed sales of common stock in order to raise the required funds to complete the acquisition, (the “Recapitalization”).

 

Royal App, Ltd., is the developer of Shelfy, a white label, headless mobile commerce software platform that helps retailers and fast moving consumer goods companies become growth companies. The Shelfy product incorporates sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning in its algorithms to markedly improve online shopping metrics through mobile phones for large consumer retailers such as supermarket chains, food and other clients.

 

To finance the acquisition as well as general working capital, the Company proposed to raise up to $3.5 million commencing March 2021 in the form of puttable Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE”) from institutional investors and family offices.  The terms of the SAFE require that they automatically convert into common stock of the Company following the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock. The Company’s intent was to undertake the conversion of preferred stock in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, following shareholder approval of certain proposed corporate restructure plans.

 

Subsequent to the conversion of the preferred stock, and as part of the agreement for the acquisition of certain assets of Royal App, Ltd., the Company also agreed to issue common stock for commission fees of 2% of the Company’s common stock on a diluted basis, and to the employees of Stratford as to 8% of the Company on a diluted basis, under the terms of an Employee Stock Option Plan, once approved by Shareholders. Further, in order to undertake these issuances, the Company was required to increase the authorized common stock of the Company.

 

Prior to our acquisition of certain assets from Royal App, Ltd., by our wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd., we were a shell company seeking a project of merit.

 

On June 9, 2021, the Company announced a Stockholders’ meeting to be held on June 30, 2021 to approve the following actions:

 

1. An amendment to the articles of the Company to increase the authorized shares of the Company from 50,000,000 to 600,000,000.

 

2. An amendment to the articles of the Company to effect a reverse stock split on the basis of not less than 1 for 10 and not more than 1 for 100. Such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company at such time as it is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

3. Approval of a 2021 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan will have available shares equity to 25% of the Company’s capitalization and a term of ten years from the effective date of the Plan.

 

4. Approval of the Company’s reorganization from Oregon to Delaware.

 

The meeting was held on June 30, 2021, and the Company’s shareholders approved all of the actions detailed above, as well as the conversion of 1,000 outstanding shares of Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock whereby each 1 share of Preferred stock held is convertible into 71,683.25 shares of common stock. As a result, during the period ended September 30, 2021, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock successfully converted their holdings into 71,683,250 shares of Common Stock and the Board issued the remaining securities as agreed under the Acquisition Agreement including 22,647,751 shares to the Trustee as part of the asset acquisition costs and 5,661,938 shares to the agent as financing costs. Further a total of $3.25 million raised in the form of SAFES were converted into a total of 126,614,436 shares of common stock at $0.02567 per share.

 

Risks

 

Our business and ability to execute our growth strategies are subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before you make an investment decision. In particular, you should consider the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

 
5

Table of Contents

  

 

we have incurred significant losses to date and may continue to incur losses;

 

 

 

 

we will need to raise additional capital;

 

 

 

 

growth of operations will depend on the acceptance of our products and consumer discretionary spending;

 

 

 

 

we have limited management resources and are dependent on key executives;

 

 

 

 

failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business;

 

 

 

 

competition that we face is varied and strong;

 

 

 

 

We depend on a large volume of merchants and retailers paying us a small monthly usage fee which may mean a high cost of customer acquisition during the first 2-3 years of launching our new SaaS model.

 

 

 

 

In the first 4 years from launching our SaaS solution we are dependent on third-party eCommerce platforms such as Shopify to host our software. In the event that one of these platforms becomes redundant or completely changes some of their policies it may have a negative impact on our business and result in loss of business or existing customers

 

 

 

 

failure of third party vendors and platforms upon which we rely could adversely affect our business; and

 

 

 

 

litigation and publicity concerning product quality and other issues could adversely affect our results of operations, business and financial condition;

We have incurred net losses since we commenced operations. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, our operating loss was $1,345,360. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since our inception. We had net losses of $3,341,980 and $53,236 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

These losses have had, and likely will continue to have, an adverse effect on our working capital, assets, and equity. In order to achieve and sustain such revenue growth in the future, we must significantly expand our market presence and revenues from existing and new customers. We may continue to incur losses in the future and may never generate revenues sufficient to become profitable or to sustain profitability. Continuing losses may impair our ability to raise the additional capital required to continue and expand our operations.

 

Our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with respect to our December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements, includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the recurring losses, an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at December 31, 2021 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the previous standalone company.

 

We will need to raise additional capital.

 

We are currently completing additional development with respect to the intellectual property assets acquired from Royal App, Ltd. We will continue to incur research and development and other associated expenses up until our secondary product launch is complete. Any failure of the secondary product launch to generate revenues or sustain positive cash flows in sufficient amounts to fund our business operations may result in the need to secure additional financing beyond this offering in order to support our operations. We can provide no assurances that any additional sources of financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. Our forecast of the period of time through which our current financial resources will be adequate to support our operations and the costs to support our general and administrative, selling and marketing and research and development activities are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties.

 

We may also need to raise additional capital to expand our business to meet our long-term business objectives. Additional financing, which is not in place at this time, may come from the sale of equity or convertible or other debt securities in a public or private offering, from an additional credit facility or strategic partnership coupled with an investment in us or a combination of both. We may be unable to raise sufficient additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. Our failure to raise additional capital and in sufficient amounts may significantly impact our ability to expand our business. For further discussion of our liquidity requirements as they relate to our long-term plans, see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capital Resources and Expenditure Requirements”.

Risks Related to our Business

 

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract management.

 

As a result of filing the registration statement, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). These requirements are extensive. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

 

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. This may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Ineffective internal controls could impact the Company’s business and operating results.

 

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of the inherent limitations of internal controls, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, poorly designed or ineffective controls, or fraud. Internal controls that are deemed to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including the failure to implement new or improve existing controls, or fails to properly execute or properly test these controls, the Company’s business and operating results could be negatively impacted and the Company could fail to meet its financial reporting obligations.

 

Changing economic conditions and other effects of the such changes caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

 

The Company’s operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of Covid-19 which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s combined financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the ability of our management team to provide services to us, unavailability of supplies or third party consulting services used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including, property held by the Company, as well as the availability of capital and the ability for retailers to purchase our products. The Covid-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have had and may continue to have, and any future epidemic disease outbreak may have, an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition, including impairing our ability to raise capital when needed. The extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.

 

Growth of operations will depend on the acceptance of our products by our retail clients.

 

The acceptance by our customers of our newly acquired Shelfy application, as well as additional mobile product offerings under development is critically important to our success. Shifts in user preferences away from the functionality of our mobile applications, our inability to develop effective mobile application products that appeal to consumers, or changes in our products that eliminate product attributes popular with some consumers could harm our business. Our success depends significantly on meeting the specific needs of our retail clients on an ongoing basis, competitive pricing and ease of use by the end consumer. And inability to continuously meet these needs may have material adverse effects on our sales, results of operations, business and financial condition.

 

We cannot be certain that the products that we offer will become, or continue to be, appealing and as a result there may not be any demand for these products and our sales could decrease, which would result in a loss of revenue. Additionally, there is no guarantee that interest in our products will continue, which could adversely affect our business and revenues.

 

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

 

 

the number of customers we are able to attract and retain over time;

 

 

 

 

the competitive environment in the mobile commerce industry, as well as the mobile application industry as a whole, may force us to reduce prices below our desired pricing level or increase promotional spending; and

 

 

 

 

the ability to anticipate changes in user preferences and to meet customers’ needs in a timely cost effective manner;

 

All of these factors could result in immediate and longer term declines in the demand for the products we plan to offer, which could adversely affect our sales, cash flows and overall financial condition. An investor could lose his or her entire investment as a result.

 

We have limited management resources and are dependent on key executives.

 

We are currently relying on key individuals to continue our business and operations and, in particular, the professional expertise and services of Elchanan (Nani) Maoz, acting chief executive officer, president and director, Jonah Meer, secretary and director, and James Alexander Brodie, treasurer and director, as well as key members of our executive management team and others in key management positions. We plan to appoint additional independent directors in order to comply with NASDAQ requirements in the future, however, until any potential additional directors or officers are appointed, we may not have sufficient managerial resources to successfully manage the increased business activity envisioned by our business strategy. In addition, our future success depends in large part on the continued service of our current management team. We have not entered into employment agreements with our management team. If our officers and directors chose not to serve or if they are unable to perform their duties, and we are unable to retain a replacement qualified individual or individuals, this could have an adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and operating results if we are unable to replace the current officers and directors with other qualified individuals.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

If we cannot provide reliable financial reports, our operating results could be harmed. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2021. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We believe that the lack of internal accounting staff resulted in a lack of segregation of duties and the accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control. Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

 

Competition that we face is varied and strong.

 

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

 

We compete with a number of entities in providing products to our customers. Such competitor entities include: (1) a variety of large multinational corporations engaged in the mobile commerce industry, including but not limited to companies that have established loyal customer bases over several decades; (2) mobile commerce companies that have an established customer base, and have the same or a similar business plan as we do and may be looking to expand nationwide; and (3) a variety of other local and national mobile commerce and mobile application companies with which we either currently or may, in the future, compete.

 

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

 

Our industry requires the attraction and retention of talented employees.

 

Success in the mobile commerce and mobile application industry, specifically as it relates to our platform and products, does and will continue to require the acquisition and retention of highly talented and experienced individuals. Due to the growth in the market segment targeted, such individuals and the talent and experience they possess is in high demand. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and maintain access to such individuals. If we fail to attract, train, motivate and retain talented personnel, our business, financial condition, and operating results may be materially and adversely impacted, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.

We will depend on a large volume of merchants and retailers paying us a small monthly usage fee which may mean a high cost of customer acquisition during the first 2-3 years of our operation

 

Our SaaS software will target thousands of potential independent merchants and retail customers across multiple markets and in various locations. Each of these customers will pay us a small monthly usage fee for the use of our SaaS offering. As a result, in the first several years of our operation, customer acquisition costs and set up fees may be high in relation to subscription fees collected over the launch period. The Company expects a period of 2-3 years to reach suitable subscription levels to offset customer acquisition fees.

 

We currently depend on third party platforms for a portion of our business.

 

A portion of our sales revenue in the first four years will be dependent on third-party eCommerce platforms such as Shopify to host our software. As independent companies, providers of the third party platforms make their own business decisions. In the event that one of these platforms becomes redundant or completely changes some of their policies it may have a negative impact on our business and result in loses of business or existing customers. Their financial condition could also be adversely affected by conditions beyond our control, and our business could suffer as a result. Deteriorating economic conditions could negatively impact the financial viability of third party platform providers. Any of these factors could negatively affect our business and financial performance.

 

We may fail to comply with applicable government laws and regulations.

 

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. These laws and regulations apply to many aspects of our business including the advertising and sale of our products. Violations of these laws or regulations in the manufacture, safety, labeling, transportation and advertising of our products could damage our reputation and/or result in regulatory actions with substantial penalties. In addition, any significant change in such laws or regulations or their interpretation, or the introduction of higher standards or more stringent laws or regulations, could result in increased compliance costs or capital expenditures.

 

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

 

It is difficult and costly to protect our proprietary rights.

 

Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining trademark protection and trade secret protection of our products and brands, as well as successfully defending these trademarks against third-party challenges. We will only be able to protect our intellectual property related to our trademarks, patents and brands to the extent that we have rights under valid and enforceable trademarks, patents or trade secrets that cover our products and brands. Changes in either the trademark or patent laws or in interpretations of trademark or patent laws in the U.S. and other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in our issued trademarks or in third-party patents. The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage.

 

We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming and costly to defend, and could result in our loss of significant rights and the assessment of treble damages.

 

From time to time we may face intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or invalidity/non-infringement claims from third parties. Some of these claims may lead to litigation. The outcome of any such litigation can never be guaranteed, and an adverse outcome could affect us negatively. For example, were a third party to succeed on an infringement claim against us, we may be required to pay substantial damages (including up to treble damages if such infringement were found to be willful). In addition, we could face an injunction, barring us from conducting the allegedly infringing activity. The outcome of the litigation could require us to enter into a license agreement which may not be under acceptable, commercially reasonable, or practical terms or we may be precluded from obtaining a license at all. It is also possible that an adverse finding of infringement against us may require us to dedicate substantial resources and time in developing non-infringing alternatives, which may or may not be possible. In the case of diagnostic tests, we would also need to include non-infringing technologies which would require us to re-validate our tests. Any such re-validation, in addition to being costly and time consuming, may be unsuccessful.

 

Finally, we may initiate claims to assert or defend our own intellectual property against third parties. Any intellectual property litigation, irrespective of whether we are the plaintiff or the defendant, and regardless of the outcome, is expensive and time-consuming, and could divert our management’s attention from our business and negatively affect our operating results or financial condition.

Table of Contents

 

We may be subject to claims by third parties asserting that our employees or we have misappropriated their intellectual property, or claiming ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property.

 

Although we try to ensure that we, our employees, and independent contractors do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we, our employees, or independent contractors have used or disclosed intellectual property in violation of others’ rights. These claims may cover a range of matters, such as challenges to our trademarks, as well as claims that our employees or independent contractors are using trade secrets or other proprietary information of any such employee’s former employer or independent contractors. As a result, we may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property. If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. 

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering

 

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

 

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including:

 

 

our ability to integrate operations, products and services;

 

 

 

 

our ability to execute our business plan;

 

 

 

 

operating results below expectations;

 

 

 

 

our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof, which will be necessary to fund our operating expenses;

 

 

 

 

announcements of new or similar products by our competitors;

 

 

 

 

economic and other external factors; and

 

 

 

 

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

There currently is a limited liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot assure investors that a robust trading market will ever develop or be sustained for our common stock.

 

To date there has been a limited trading market for our common stock on the OTC Pink Marketplace. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock may become. A lack of an active market may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price they consider reasonable. The lack of an active trading market may impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies by using our common stock as consideration. For companies whose securities are traded in the OTC Pink Marketplace, it is generally more difficult to obtain accurate quotations, to obtain coverage for significant news events (because major media channels generally do not publish press releases about such companies) and to obtain needed capital.

Table of Contents

 

The trading in the Company shares will be regulated by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15g-9 which established the definition of a “penny stock.” The effective result is that fewer purchasers are qualified by their brokers to purchase its shares, and therefore a less liquid market for the investors to sell their shares. Therefore, you may have a difficult time selling your shares, or you may not be able to sell your shares at all, which could result in the loss of your investment.

 

The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and rules of the SEC. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult or impossible for you to resell any shares you may purchase.

 

Our directors and officers will continue to exercise significant control over our operations.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our management and board of directors, currently hold approximately 33.82% of the voting power of our common stock and will hold approximately 26% of the voting power of our common stock following this offering, assuming all shares are sold, but excluding the exercise of warrants. Accordingly, our executive officers and directors will continue to have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions, including the election of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions, changes in control of the Company or other matters that could affect your ability to ever resell your Shares. Their interests may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other stockholders.

 

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares of common stock may be sold into the public market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares of common stock, could reduce the market price of our common stock. After this offering, we will have up to 344,635,247shares of common stock outstanding excluding shares underlying warrants.

 

We may issue Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.

 

Although we presently have no intention to do so without stockholder approval, which may be obtained solely through the votes of its management and board of directors, the Board may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock. Any such provision may be deemed to have a potential anti-takeover effect, and the issuance of preferred stock in accordance with such provision may delay or prevent a change of control of the Company. The board of directors also may declare a dividend on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. All outstanding shares of preferred stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

 
14

Table of Contents

 

Provisions of our charter documents could discourage an acquisition of our company that would benefit our stockholders and may have the effect of entrenching, and making it difficult to remove, management.

 

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would benefit our stockholders. In particular, shares of our preferred stock may be issued in the future without further stockholder approval and upon such terms and conditions, and having such rights, privileges and preferences, as our board of directors may determine, including, for example, rights to convert into our common stock. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any of our preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of our preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. This could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and discourage these investors from acquiring a majority of our common stock. Further, the existence of these corporate governance provisions could have the effect of entrenching management and making it more difficult to change our management.

 

We have not, and may never pay dividends to shareholders.

 

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

 

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

 

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of your investment.

 

The public offering price of our common stock will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. To the extent additional shares of common stock are subsequently issued, you will incur further dilution. Based on an assumed public offering price of $0.12 per share and a fully subscribed offering, you will experience immediate dilution of $0.094 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share at June 30, 2022, after giving effect to this offering, and the assumed initial public offering price.

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

We cannot specify with certainty all of our potential uses for the estimated net proceeds we will receive from this offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of the proceeds, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that our stockholders may not desire or that may not yield a favorable return. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending its use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

 

If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our common stock could decline if one or more equity analyst downgrades our stock or if analysts downgrade our stock or issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

Potential investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that, should conditions change or should any one or more of the risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are unknown. The factors that could adversely affect the actual results and performance of the Company include the fact that:

 

 

growth of operations will depend on the acceptance of our products and consumer discretionary spending;

 

 

 

 

we have limited management resources and are dependent on key executives;

 

 

 

 

competition that we face is varied and strong;

 

 

 

 

we depend on a small number of large retailers for a significant portion of our sales;

 

 

 

 

we may fail to comply with applicable government laws and regulations;

 

 

 

 

we face various operating hazards that could result in the reduction of our operations; and

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the proceeds from our issuance and sale of shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $12,600,000, prior to deduction of offering costs, assuming a public offering price of $0.12 per share and the exercise of underlying warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per warrant share.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to fund business operations, including the development and sale of our products, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The shares of common stock to be sold will be sold at a fixed price of $0.12 per share until such time as our shares are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQX or OTCQB, at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions.

 

This expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds from this offering for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds from this offering.

Offering expenses expected to be $133,544 will be borne by the Company and not deducted from Gross proceeds.

 

If we require additional funding, we will seek such funds through a Notes offering conducted under Regulation S, and loans from officers, directors and business associated and entities controlled by them in order to continue our operations. As with any form of financing, there are uncertainties concerning the availability of such funds on terms acceptable to us, as we have not received any firm commitments or indications of interest from our friends, family members, or business acquaintances regarding potential investments in our Company.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING

 

This Prospectus relates to the resale of 200,031,733 shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and 21,998,323 shares of common stock underlying warrants held by our selling stockholders. The table below sets forth information with respect to the resale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of common stock by the selling stockholders for shares currently outstanding, but we will receive proceeds from the sale of our newly issued common shares, as well as any exercise of warrants to be issued to new investors, as well as the exercise of warrants held by our selling shareholders. Except as described in footnotes below, none of the selling stockholders have had a material relationship with us since our inception.

Table of Contents

 

All shares included in the original registration statement were issued pursuant to Regulation S or Section 4(a)(2).

 

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol “WOWI”.

 

The Offering price of the shares has been arbitrarily determined by us based on estimates of the price that purchasers of speculative securities, such as the shares offered herein, will be willing to pay considering the nature and capital structure of our Company, the experience of the officers and Directors, and the market conditions for the sale of equity securities in similar companies. The Offering price of the shares bears no relationship to the assets, earnings or book value of our Company, or any other objective standard of value. We believe that only a small number of shares, if any, will be sold by the selling shareholders, prior to the time our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB at which time the selling shareholders will sell their shares based on the market price of such shares. Until such time, the shares will be sold at a fixed price of $0.12 per share.

 

The Selling Security Holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Security Holder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

 

The anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will apply to purchases and sales of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Security Holders. Additionally, there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Neither Selling Security Holders nor their agents shall bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase shares of our Common Stock while they are distributing shares covered by this Prospectus.

 

Accordingly, the Selling Security Holders are not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. We will advise the Selling Security Holders that if a particular offer of Common Stock is to be made on terms materially different from the information set forth in this Plan of Distribution, then a post-effective amendment to the accompanying Registration Statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Security Holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Security Holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. It is not expected that these commissions and discounts will exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

 The Selling Security Holders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Therefore, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

Our Common Shares are not quoted on any stock exchange or quotation system. 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 quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system).

 

 
21

Table of Contents

  

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

 

 

·

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

 

·

contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties;

 

·

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

 

·

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

 

·

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and,

 

·

contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock:

 

·

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

·

details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

·

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and,

·

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

 

Offering Period and Expiration Date

 

This Offering will start on the date this Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and continue for a period of 365 days. We may extend the offering period for an additional 90 days, unless the Offering is completed or otherwise terminated by us.

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares in this offering your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price of $0.12 per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this offering. Net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value (negative) as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $(269,357), or approximately ($0.00102) per share. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total tangible liabilities, excluding goodwill and customer relationship intangibles, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 1, 2022.

This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.02809 per share to our existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $0.09293 per share to purchasers of shares in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

Overview

 

Our Mission.

 

We enable retailers to grow their business, using mobile commerce to better engage their customers, both in-store and online – no code required.

 

Our Objective

 

Metro One Telecommunications, Inc., is focused on changing the way retailers integrate mobile commerce solutions within their business. Our multi-model, plug and play mobile commerce platform enables retailers to launch their own branded mobile application serving as an additional sales channel in a matter of a few hours – no code required.

 

Through our recently acquired Israeli tech company, Stratford Ltd., the Company will continue to merge the functionality of mobile technology, artificial intelligence “AI”, and Machine learning enabling retailers to quickly and easily bring their business online to significantly:

 

 

·

Increase customer retention (60%)

 

·

Increase average basket size (30%)

 

·

Increase Up sell and Cross sell x4

 

·

Increase customers lifetime value CLV – drastic increase in repeat monthly purchases

 

Currently we are in the process of transforming our existing suite of products to a fully modular SaaS based platform. This will enable us to scale the company significantly, onboarding multiple retailers simultaneously without any additional integration costs.

 

Highlights

 

The following are highlights of our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2021 and three and six months ended June 30, 2022:

 

 

Revenue. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we generated revenue of $18,937 and $38,143, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we generated revenue of $170,622. Our revenue for the respective periods is primarily attributed to license fees, subscriptions, and customized professional services related to our mobile commerce software platform.

 

 

 

 

Operating expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our operating expenses were $577,778 and 1,345,360, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, our operating expenses were $3,512,602. Our operating expenses include management fees, research and development costs, general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing costs and costs associated with our recent sales of securities.

 

 

 

 

Net income (loss). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $558,841, $1,192,356 and $3,341,980, respectively, or a loss of approximately $0.00, $0.01 and $0.04 per share.

 

As we continue to onboard additional customers for our current software offerings and complete the development of a secondary SaaS mobile suite, we believe that the recently acquired Shelfy software suite will generate increasing revenues period over period. Historically, the Company was not generating revenue from its operations. We expect our operational expenses to continue to exceed incoming revenues until such time as our secondary product effectively launches its full suite of solutions, with Enterprise clients as our main target market, planned for the first quarter of 2023. We expect to continue to onboard new customers during fiscal 2022 once our new software offering has had its initial launch. While we continue to develop and expand our primary business operations during fiscal 2022, our revenues are not expected to be sufficient to meet our ongoing expenses. The recently acquired mobile software assets generated revenue in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 of $18,937 and $38,143, respectively, with revenues of. $170,622I in the year ended December 31, 2021.  We believe that by the close of fiscal 2023, our wholly owned operating subsidiary will generate revenue in a sufficient amount to meet our cash flow needs.

Recent Developments

 

On March 30, 2021, the Company announced that its newly-formed, wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. had received notification of approval from the Lod District Court in Israel for its winning bid to acquire certain assets of Royal App, Ltd. out of insolvency proceedings for approximately $2.4 million USD in cash as well as 8% equity in the Company on a diluted basis, post conversion of the Company’s preferred common stock and certain other proposed sales of common stock in order to raise the required funds to complete the acquisition, (the “Recapitalization”).

 

Royal App, Ltd., is the developer of Shelfy, a white label, headless mobile commerce software platform, among other assets, that helps retailers and fast moving consumer goods companies become growth companies. The Shelfy product incorporates sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning in its algorithms to markedly improve online shopping metrics through mobile phones for large consumer retailers such as supermarket chains, food and other clients.

 

To finance the acquisition as well as general working capital, the Company proposed to raise up to $3.5 million commencing March 2021 in the form of puttable Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE”) from institutional investors and family offices.  The terms of the SAFE require that they automatically convert into common stock of the Company following the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock. The Company’s intent was to undertake the conversion of preferred stock in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, following shareholder approval of certain proposed corporate restructure plans.

 

Subsequent to the conversion of the preferred stock, and as part of the agreement for the acquisition of certain assets of Royal App, Ltd., the Company also agreed to issue common stock for commission fees of 2% of the Company’s common stock on a diluted basis, and to the employees of Stratford as to 8% of the Company on a diluted basis, under the terms of an Employee Stock Option Plan, once approved by Shareholders. Further, in order to undertake these issuances, the Company was required to increase the authorized common stock of the Company.

 

On June 9, 2021, the Company announced a Stockholders’ meeting to be held on June 30, 2021 to approve the following actions:

 

 

·

An amendment to the articles of the Company to increase the authorized shares of the Company from 50,000,000 to 600,000,000.

 

·

An amendment to the articles of the Company to effect a reverse stock split on the basis of not less than 1 for 10 and not more than 1 for 100. Such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, at such time as it is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

·

Approval of a 2021 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan will have available shares equity to 25% of the Company’s capitalization and a term of ten years from the effective date of the Plan.

 

·

Approval of the Company’s reorganization from Oregon to Delaware.

 

The meeting was held on June 30, 2021, and the Company’s shareholders approved all of the actions detailed above, as well as the conversion of 1,000 outstanding shares of Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock whereby each 1 share of Preferred stock held is convertible into 71,683.25 shares of common stock. As a result, during the period ended September 30, 2021, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock successfully converted their holdings into 71,683,250 shares of Common Stock and the Board issued the remaining securities as agreed under the Acquisition Agreement including 22,647,751 shares to the Trustee as part of the asset acquisition costs and 5,661,938 shares to the agent as financing costs. Further a total of $3.25 million raised in the form of SAFES were converted into a total of 126,614,436 shares of common stock at $0.02567 per share. 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company closed an additional $1,881,000 as part of our PIPE offering, by way of the sale of an additional 25,080,000 Units at $0.075 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and one-half warrant for exercise at $0.0975 per share. The Company paid agent commissions on $1.376 M in proceeds at 4.25% for a total of $58,480 in financing costs.

Uncertainties in our Business

 

We believe that the key uncertainties in our business are as follows:

 

 

We believe that expanding our marketing team, which may result in significant advertising expenses, will be necessary in order to increase product awareness in order to compete with our competitors, including large and well established brands with access to significant capital resources

 

 

 

 

Customer trends and tastes can change for a variety of reasons including government regulations and variation in demographics. We will need to be able to adapt to changing preferences in the future.

 

 

 

 

Our sales growth is dependent upon maintaining our relationships with existing and future customers, which includes sales to large retailers.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $5,131,000 in the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of the sale of common shares and units under a SAFE and PIPE during the year, as compared to $0 in the prior comparative year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at June 30, 2022, we had cash of $126,268. We are in the early stage of development having recently acquired certain assets through a bankruptcy proceeding that the Company has only recently begun to operate. We have experienced net losses to date and have generated modest revenue from operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While we have raised additional proceeds totaling $570,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and a further $369,000 subsequent to June 30, 2022 by way of short term notes payable and certain note and securities purchase agreements, these funds are not sufficient to meet ongoing operations expenses. We will require substantial additional funds for operations in order to meet our software development and business expansion objectives in fiscal 2022 and beyond. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to us in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of the then existing stockholders. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

 

As we monitor the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, we continue exploring sources of debt and equity financings as well as available grants. There can be no assurance the necessary financing will be available to meet our timeline. We expect to continue to onboard additional customers for our existing software suite and our new software offering once launched in the fall of fiscal 2022, however we do not believe revenues from operations in fiscal 2022 will be sufficient to meet our operational overhead. Without additional financing, we do not believe our resources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs beyond the third quarter of 2022.

 

Additional financing

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 we received $400,000 in proceeds from certain short term notes payable and a further $170,000 in short term notes payable from companies controlled by our President, Mr. Elchanan Maoz.

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has recurring losses and limited operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2022, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated under which it has:

 

 

a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit;

 

 

 

 

liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets;

 

 

 

 

an obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument; or

 

 

 

 

an obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to us, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as the reporting currency for its financial statements. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is the Israeli Shekel.

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, and in the “Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents,” on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Transaction gains and losses including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in “General and Administrative” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill amounts are not amortized.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company generally recognizes assets for customer relationships, developed technology, and finite-lived trade names from an acquisition. Finite-lived intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Such amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from 3 to 8 years. Amortization for developed technology is recognized in cost of revenue. Amortization for trade names is recognized in sales and marketing expenses.

Table of Contents

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded assets acquired in the cumulative amount of approximately $3.47 million (cash proceeds, share based consideration and the assumption of certain repayable grants issued by the government of Israel which financed certain development activities related to the intellectual property) purchased through a liquidation proceeding from the trustee for Royal App Ltd., an Israeli corporation, which we recorded as intangible assets. Intangible assets acquired included (1) goodwill; and (2) intellectual property and trademarks, including rights in patents in so far as they exist and rights of claim (if and in so far as they exist and are transferrable) for infringement of the aforementioned intellectual property. We initially record acquired intangible assets at their estimated fair values and we review these assets periodically for impairment.

 

Software Research & Development Expenditure

 

Software research and development expenditures consist primarily of costs associated with the on-going development of software acquired from Royal App including employee compensation and certain stock based compensation associated with certain employee contracts, as well as other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants and related contract research and facility costs. Expenditures relating to research and development are capitalized as incurred. In the period ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded assets acquired in the cumulative amount of approximately $3.47 million purchased through a liquidation proceeding from the trustee for Royal App Ltd., an Israeli corporation,  which we recorded as intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we capitalized approximately $990,000 in ongoing research and development expenditures and $28,483 in patent related expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we capitalized an additional $952,000 in ongoing research and development expenditures.

 

Impairment

 

The valuation of goodwill at the reporting unit level is reviewed annually during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if facts or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company presently has one reporting unit; therefore, all of its goodwill is associated with the entire company.

 

Management has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment.

 

The Company reviews the valuation of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets or asset groups is calculated based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment testing is performed at the asset group level.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted the requirement of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”).

 

We derive our revenues primarily from subscription fees for access to our software offerings, collected monthly, as well as from limited sales of customized professional services. We recognize revenues when a perceived contract exists between the Company and a customer and upon transfer of control of promised products or services to such customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenues are recognized net of allowances and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

  

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

·

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

·

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

·

Determination of the transaction price;

·

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and,

·

Recognition of revenues when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Table of Contents

  

Subscription Revenues

 

Subscription revenues primarily consist of monthly fees for providing customers access to our software apps including feature-based pricing models, where distinct packages are aligned to a specific type of customer persona based on its size, market segment and physical/online store presence. Each package is different than the next with prices increasing as the functionality increases.

 

Monthly subscriptions to our software packages include routine customer support and unspecified software updates and upgrades released when and if available during the term. Revenues are generally recognized monthly over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer, which we believe best reflects the manner in which our customers utilize our subscription offerings. Customers pay monthly for the services in advance, and if payments are not collected, the access to the service terminates. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting application service at any time and, as a result, are accounted for as a service contract.

  

Customized Professional Service Revenues

  

Customized service contract revenues primarily consist of fees for deployment, configuration, and optimization services, and potentially, training. The majority of our professional services contracts are billed on a fixed price basis, and revenues are recognized over time based on a proportional performance methodology which utilizes input methods. A portion of our customized service contracts may be billed on a time and materials basis and revenues are recognized over time as the services are performed.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Acquisition

 

On March 30, 2021, the Company announced that its newly-formed, wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. had received notification of approval from the Lod District Court in Israel for its winning bid to acquire certain assets of Royal App, Ltd. out of insolvency proceedings for approximately $2.4 million USD in cash, the assumption of certain repayable government grants with an approximate value of $200,000 USD, as well as 8% equity in the Company on a diluted basis, post conversion of the Company’s preferred common stock and certain other proposed sales of common stock in order to raise the required funds to complete the acquisition.

 

 
37

Table of Contents

 

Royal App, Ltd., is the original developer of Shelfy, a white label, headless mobile commerce software platform that helps retailers and fast moving consumer goods companies become growth companies, among other IP. The Shelfy product incorporates sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning in its algorithms to markedly improve online shopping metrics through mobile phones for large consumer retailers such as supermarket chains, food and other clients.

 

To finance the acquisition as well as general working capital, the Company proposed to raise up to $3.5 million commencing March 2021 in the form of puttable Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE”) from institutional investors and family offices.  The terms of the SAFE required that they automatically converted into common stock of the Company following the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock.

 

As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock successfully converted their holdings into 71,683,250 shares of Common Stock and the Board issued the remaining securities as agreed under the Acquisition Agreement including 22,647,751 shares to the Trustee as part of the asset acquisition costs and 5,661,938 shares to the agent as financing costs. Further a total of $3.25 million raised in the form of the SAFE offering were converted into a total of 126,614,436 shares of common stock at $0.02567 per share.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, no additional shares shall be issued to the Trustee as part of the asset acquisition, and no additional “anti-dilution” shares were issued to the Trustee as part of the PIPE or SAFE offerings, and no additional anti-dilution shares will be issued as part of this offering. There will be no anti-dilution that will occur as part of this offering due to the acquisition transaction described above.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Other Capital Expenditures

 

We expect to incur research and development costs, as well as marketing expenses in connection with the expansion of our business and the development of our products.

 

Future Contractual Obligations and Commitment

 

We incur contractual obligations and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contracts, such as debt and lease agreements. These obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related operating activities.

 

As of June 30, 2022, we have approximately $173,000 in repayable Israeli government grants which are recorded on our balance sheets as an accrued liability. The grants have no specific terms of repayment and are payable as revenues are generated from our acquired assets at a rate of 3.00% of gross sales proceeds.

Corporate History

 

Metro One was originally incorporated in the state of Oregon in 1995. On August 9, 2021, the Company reorganized and filed articles of conversion to be registered under the laws of the state of Delaware.

 

On April 16, 2008, we were notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) because shares of our common stock had closed at a per share bid price of less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), we had been provided 180 calendar days, or until October 13, 2008, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. In addition, on May 22, 2008, we were notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market that we no longer were in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) and were subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) requires that we maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million, or a market value of our listed securities of at least $35.0 million, or have net income from continuing operations of at least $500,000 during the last fiscal year or two of the last three fiscal years. On July 25, 2008, we received a Nasdaq staff determination letter rejecting the plan we had submitted to evidence our ability to achieve compliance with the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3). We appealed the Nasdaq staff’s determination to delist our securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market effective August 5, 2008, and were scheduled for a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) on September 18, 2008. However, on September 16, 2008, we notified the Panel that we were withdrawing our appeal of the July 25, 2008 Nasdaq staff determination. Accordingly, our common stock was suspended from trading effective at the open of business on Friday, September 19, 2008. The common stock was subsequently delisted on October 7, 2008, when the SEC completed its formal notification of removal from listing. On March 5, 2009 the company filed a Form 15 terminating its registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act. 

 

During fiscal 2009 through the end of fiscal 2020, the Company determined to wind-down its former operations and subsequently began seeking a viable project of merit. Upon the recent acquisition of the assets of Royal App in early 2021, the Company has returned to active operations.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 30 North Gould Street, Suite 2990, Sheridan, WY 82801, our phone number is (307)-683-0855, our corporate website is www.metro1telecomm.com and our product website is www.shelfy.io.

 

We currently have one subsidiary, Stratford, Ltd., incorporated in Israel.

Competitive Strengths

 

It is important to emphasize that we are not app developers -hence our direct competitors are not other app developers. What we provide is a mobile commerce platform that provides retailers software that enables them to build their own application without one line of code or any development needed from their side.

 

We differentiate our products primarily through functional points of difference between our products and those of our competitors, including:

 

 

-

Intuitive drag and drop dashboards that enable merchants to build their own branded mobile application

 

 

 

 

-

Patented single product display graphical user interface – called the shelf that makes mobile shopping truly mobile and is truly unique to our application

 

 

 

 

-

An advanced in app marketing suite consisting of features such as shoppable videos and barkers, significantly increasing up selling and cross selling.

Marketing, Sales and Customer Service

 

Due to the dynamic nature of SaaS platforms and the market sector we are targeting, we have decided to focus on being a product-led company, and merge the marketing, sales and customer success teams into one department, providing a complete customer-centric approach. This approach gives us a 360 view of the customer journey and ensures that we can act in real-time to acquire new customers and provide the relevant support when and where needed to retain the customers we have acquired. Using the latest marketing discipline called Product led Growth Hacking and automation we will be able to support and focus on rapid and optimized growth. Consisting of both a process and a set of cross-disciplinary (digital) skills. The goal is to regularly conduct A/B testing that will lead to improving the customer journey and replicate and scale the ideas that work and modify or abandon the ones that don’t before spending vast amounts of resources. Once a plan has been validated, it is automated and the system works by itself reducing overheads and lowering the cost of customer acquisition (CAC).

 

 

To ensure we give retailers the optimal results when using our platform, our focus will not merely be on sales cycles but creating a community where they can learn and grow with plenty of engagement and educational information such as blogs, webinars, and affiliation programs.

 

Experienced Leadership Team

 

The combination of operating skills from our management team with the experience of successfully leading major retail and mobile commerce companies gives our organization a significant strength relative to most small- and medium-sized companies.

 

Growth Strategies

 

Our primary long-term goal is to become one of the market leaders within the mobile commerce sector, providing an additional sales channel which merchants and retailers of all sizes can add to their existing business. We intend to achieve this goal by driving organic growth through our third-party integrated platforms, across all major retail channels where repeat purchases occur and in all major markets where e-commerce has been adapted and in markets where the use and launch of e-commerce shops are on the rise.

 

Our key growth strategies include the following:

 

·

developing a powerful, performance-oriented, and metric-driven organizational culture;

 

 

·

developing automated marketing, sales and customer service tool kits to empower our sales force network to engage with global customers;

 

 

·

developing brand/marketing tool kits for current and new products and segments, to make onboarding as efficient and seamless as possible;

 

 

·

launching and expanding our SaaS products domestically and internationally;

 

 

·

strengthening our supply chain to achieve best in class costs, on-time/as promised products and customer service;

 

 

·

improving margins with improved efficiency, and improved net revenue per case with new products;

 

 

·

upgrading infrastructure, systems and processes with enterprise resource planning systems, improved financial reporting, operating expense control, and strengthened key metrics and accounting and control procedures; and

 

 

·

strengthening our financial foundation via accessing the capital markets, solidifying long-term banking partners and facilities, and pursuing transformative organic and external growth.

Recent Developments

 

In May 2022 the Company received approval to publish its mobile commerce platform on the Shopify App Store. Shopify is a leading global commerce company, providing retailers with trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage their businesses.

 

In June 2022, the Company received approval to publish its mobile commerce platform on WordPress.ORG as a WooCommerce Plugin. WordPress, currently in use by 43% of all websites, is one of the most popular open-source content management system solutions according to W3 Techs. WooCommerce, a WordPress plugin, offers flexible, open-source commerce solutions for WordPress websites, empowering small and medium-sized businesses to build the store they want and sell online. With more than 5 million active installations of the WooCommerce plugin reported on wordpress.orgstatista.com indicates WooCommerce commands more than 23% of the global eCommerce market share. Shelfy.io is a patented mobile app builder plugin for WooCommerce.

 

On August 1, 2022, the Company officially launched its fully updated mobile commerce platform on the Shopify App Store, with its first user. The Shelfy app is now open to all merchants on the Shopify marketplace and can be accessed at https://apps.shopify.com/shelfy.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We currently have an in-house sales and merchandising team whose compensation is highly variable and highly performance-based. Each sales person has individual targets for increasing “base” volume through distribution expansion, and “incremental” volume. As distribution to new major customers, new major channels, or new major markets increases, we will expand the sales and marketing team on a variable basis.

 

We market our products using a range of marketing mediums including in-store merchandising and promotions, experiential marketing, events, and sponsorships, digital marketing and social media, direct marketing, and traditional media including print, radio, outdoor, and TV.

 

 Competition

 

The mobile commerce industry is highly competitive. We face intense competition from very large, international corporations, as well as from local and national companies. In addition, we face competition from well-known companies that have large market share.

 

The intensity of competition in the future is expected to increase and no assurance can be provided that we can sustain our market position or expand our business.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. However, we believe that with our specialized platform and considering that the mobile commerce sector is growing we will have the ability to obtain a large market share, and continue to generate sales and compete in this industry.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

We hold various trademarks and patents in various jurisdictions, all of which were acquired through the liquidation proceedings for Royal App, Ltd. Any encroachment upon our proprietary information, including the unauthorized use of our brand name, the use of a similar name by a competing company or a lawsuit initiated either by us or against us for infringement upon proprietary information or improper use of a trademark, may affect our ability to create brand name recognition, cause customer confusion and/or have a detrimental effect on our business due to the cost of defending any potential litigation related to infringement. Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. or International Patent and Trademark Offices may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and/or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business operations and/or results of operations.

 Government and Industry Regulation

 

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. These laws and regulations apply to many aspects of our business including the manufacture, safety, labeling, transportation, advertising and sale of our products. Violations of these laws or regulations in the advertising of our products could damage our reputation and/or result in regulatory actions with substantial penalties.

We will also subject to the Securities Act, the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and Delaware General Corporation Law. We will also be subject to common business and tax rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of our business, such as the United States Internal Revenue Tax Code and the Delaware State Tax Codes, as well as international tax codes. We will also be subject to proprietary regulations such as United States Trademark and Patent Law as it applies to the intellectual property of third parties. We believe that the effects of existing or probable governmental regulations will be additional responsibilities of management to ensure that we are in compliance with securities regulations as they apply to our products as well as ensuring that we do not infringe on any proprietary rights of others with respect to our products. We will also need to maintain accurate financial records in order to remain compliant with securities regulations as well as any corporate tax liability we incur.

Corporate Governance

 

As soon as practicable following the closing of this offering, our board of directors plans to establish an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. As of the date of this Prospectus, we do not have any such committees. Each committee will operate under a charter, to be approved by our board of directors in connection with this offering. Following this offering, copies of each charter will be posted in the Investors section of our website. We expect the functions of our committees, once established, shall be as described below.

 

Audit Committee

 

The functions of the Audit Committee will be to (i) review the qualifications of the independent auditors, our annual and interim financial statements, the independent auditor’s report, significant reporting or operating issues and corporate policies and procedures as they relate to accounting and financial controls; and (ii) to consider and review other matters relating to our financial and accounting affairs.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The function of the Compensation Committee will be to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s directors and executive officers, to produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement, as necessary, and to oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs including stock incentive and benefit plans.

 

Nominating and Governance Committee

 

The function of the Nominating and Governance Committee is to (i) make recommendations to the Board regarding the size of the Board, (ii) make recommendations to the Board regarding criteria for the selection of director nominees, (iii) identify and recommend to the Board for selection as director nominees individuals qualified to become members of the Board, (iv) recommend committee assignments to the Board, (v) recommend to the Board corporate governance principles and practices appropriate to the Company, and (vi) lead the Board in an annual review of its performance.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company is quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace, which does not require director independence requirements. However, NASDAQ requires that a majority of the board of directors must be comprised of Independent Directors as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2). For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set forth in the NASDAQ guidelines which state, generally, that a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is, or at any time during the past three years was an employee of the Company; or if he or she (or his or her family member) accepted compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any twelve month period within the three years preceding the determination of independence. Our current directors are not “independent” directors as such term is defined under the NASDAQ rules and the related rules of the SEC.

Board of Director’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board is responsible for overseeing our management and operations, including overseeing our risk assessment and risk management functions. We believe that our directors provide effective oversight of risk management functions. On a regular basis we perform a risk review wherein the management team evaluates the risks we expect to face in the upcoming year and over a longer term horizon. From this risk assessment plans are developed to deal with the risks identified. The results of this risk assessment are provided to the Board for their consideration and review. In addition, members of our management periodically present to the Board the strategies, issues and plans for the areas of our business for which they are responsible. While the Board oversees risk management, our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. Additionally, the Board requires that management raise exceptional issues to the Board. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks we face and that the Board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We have not adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. The Board and our management group plan to adopt a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics as soon as practicable following the closing of this offering.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Historical Information:

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Oregon on February 8, 1989, as Metro One Direct Information Services Inc.  On December 12, 1995, we changed our name to Metro One Telecommunications Inc.  The Company was formerly in the business of providing directory assistance service to subscribers through carrier contracts starting with its first contract in 1991.  Previously the Company was contracted with a number of wireless carriers, voice over internet protocol providers, cable companies and various other carriers both free and prepaid providing live operator directory assistance services to the carriers’ subscribers and users. Revenues were historically derived principally through fees charged to telecommunications carriers.

 

Starting in 2005, the Company went through a number of restructures of its business in an attempt to retain market share in a rapidly evolving technology and telecommunications industry.

 

In March 2008, the Company decided to exit the wholesale directory assistance business, but to continue to pursue growth in the Company’s small data services business which it had concurrently developed.

 

As of September 2008, the Company had closed all of its call centers and approximately 700 employees were terminated.

 

In conjunction with the closures, the Company sold a majority of its patent and trademarks to raise funds to continue operations.

 

Further, during 2008, the Company voluntarily deregistered its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  With that action the Company moved from the OTC Markets Bulletin Board to the OTC Markets Pink Sheets.

 

The Company was unsuccessful in pursuing its then current business and ceased filing any current information reports with OTC Markets in fiscal 2009.

 

Current Information:

 

Certain of the officers and directors of the Company maintained the Company’s registration as an Oregon corporation while seeking other business opportunities for the Company and its stockholders between fiscal 2009 and August 9, 2021, when the Company redomiciled to Delaware.

 

On March 30, 2021, the Company announced that its newly-formed, wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. had received notification of approval from the Lod District Court in Israel for its winning bid to acquire assets of Royal App Ltd. out of insolvency proceedings for approximately $2.4 million USD in cash, the assumption of $200,000 in repayable government grants, as well as 8% equity in the Company on a diluted basis, post conversion of the Company’s preferred common stock and certain other proposed sales of common stock in order to raise the required funds to complete the acquisition, the “Recapitalization”.

 

Royal App is the developer of Shelfy, a white label, headless mobile commerce software platform that helps retailers and fast-moving consumer goods companies become growth companies. Shelfy incorporates sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning in its algorithms to markedly improve online shopping metrics through mobile phones for large consumer retailers such as supermarket chains, food and other clients.  Prior to its recent insolvency filing, more than $20 million had been invested in Royal App.

 

If the Recapitalization of the Company was not approved by the shareholders and the 8% of the Company Capitalization was not issued to the bankruptcy trustee within 120 days from the date of the closing of the Acquisition, or April 26, 2021, the trustee, who held a pledge over the assets of Royal App purchased by Stratford, had the right to foreclose on such assets.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Current Information (continued)

 

Any foreclosure would result in the transfer of the ownership of Royal App assets purchased by Stratford, from Stratford to the trustee for the creditors of Royal App. The transactions as contemplated above were successfully completed during the year ended December 31, 2021, and the Trustee released its pledge over the assets.

 

To finance the acquisition as well as general working capital, the Company proposed to raise up to $3.5 million commencing March 2021 in the form of puttable Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFES”) from institutional investors and family offices.  The terms of the SAFES required that they automatically convert into common stock of the Company following the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock. The Company undertook the conversion of preferred stock in the year ended December 31, 2021, upon receipt of shareholder approval of certain proposed corporate restructure plans.

 

After the conversion of the preferred stock, and as part of the agreement for the acquisition of the assets of Royal App the Company also agreed to issue common stock for commission fees of 2% of the Company’s common stock on a diluted basis, and to the employees of Stratford as to 8% of the Company on a diluted basis, under the terms of an Employee Stock Option Plan approved by Shareholders. Further, in order to undertake these issuances, the Company was required to increase the authorized common stock of the Company.

 

On June 9, 2021, the Company announced a Stockholders’ meeting to be held on June 30, 2021, to approve the following actions:

 

1.

An amendment to the articles of the Company to increase the authorized shares of the Company from 50,000,000 to 600,000,000;

 

 

2.

An amendment to the articles of the Company to effect a reverse stock split on the basis of not less than 1 for 10 and not more than 1 for 100. Such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company;

 

 

3.

Approval of a 2021 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan will have available shares equity to 25% of the Company’s capitalization and a term of ten years from the effective date of the Plan;

 

4.

Approval of the Company’s reorganization from Oregon to Delaware.

 

The meeting was held on June 30, 2021, and the Company’s shareholders approved all the actions detailed above, as well as the conversion of 1,000 outstanding shares of Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock whereby each 1 share of Preferred stock held was convertible into 71,683.25 shares of common stock. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock successfully converted their holdings into 71,683,250 shares of Common Stock and the Board issued the remaining securities as agreed under the Acquisition Agreement including 22,647,751 shares to the Trustee as part of the asset acquisition costs and 5,661,938 shares to the agent as financing costs. Further a total of $3.25 million raised in the form of SAFES was converted into a total of 126,614,436 shares of common stock at $0.02567 per share. On August 9, 2021, the Company redomiciled and filed articles of conversion moving its registration to the State of Delaware.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company undertook a second financing by way of Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") in the form of unregistered Units at $0.075, each Unit consisting of a share of Common Stock and ½ share purchase warrant for exercise for a period of two years form the date of grant at $0.975 per share. The Company accepted subscriptions with respect to the sale of 25,080,000 for $1,881,000 in gross proceeds. Certain of the PIPE investments had agent fees payable at a rate of 4.25%.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Current Information (continued)

 

On February 9, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer up to 80,000,000 Units consisting of one share of common stock and a ¼ warrant at $0.12 per Unit, with the associated warrants having an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a period of one year. Further the Company is registering a total of 193,317,186 shares of common stock and 20,331,658 shares of common stock underlying warrant exercises for certain selling stockholders.

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into certain Short Term Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) with each Note having a term of four (4) months from issue date, bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with accrued interest payable monthly in arrears in cash commencing on May 1, 2022. Further each Noteholder received a ½ warrant for each $1 in Note proceeds, exercisable at $0.12 per share for a term of one year from issue date. The Company has received a total of $470,000 in proceeds ($70,000 of which was from a company controlled by our President) with respect to the Notes as at June 30, 2022 and issued a total of 1,958,333 warrants. In June 2022, the Company received a further $100,000 in the form of a short-term promissory note from a company controlled by our President, with a term of four (4) months from issue date, bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has recently acquired operating assets, is generating modest revenues, and is in the process of pursuing expansion of its new business venture.  The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company’s operations through issuance of its common stock, conducting revenue generating operations or expanding the Company’s existing business operations to acquire projects which generate additional revenue. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve net profits as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues, if any. The Company is currently seeking a further equity financing of up to $10 million US Dollars to meet ongoing capital requirements and has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for this purpose on February 9, 2022. Further the Company entered into certain Short Term Promissory Notes and raised a total of $400,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (Note 8).

 

There are no assurances the Company will succeed in implementing its plans. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

 

COVID-19

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on the Company going forward. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to pursue certain planned operations. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report and is subject to change. Management is actively monitoring the situation but given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to estimate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its obligations, raise funds or complete planned software implementations.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Fiscal Year end

 

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% controlled Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd (“Stratford”) as of June 30, 2022. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as the reporting currency for its financial statements. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is the Israeli Shekel.

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, and in the “Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents,” on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Transaction gains and losses are included in “General and Administrative” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company’s subsidiary in Israel and is excluded from the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill amounts are not amortized.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company generally recognizes assets for customer relationships, developed technology, and finite-lived trade names from an acquisition. Finite-lived intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Such amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from 3 to 8 years. Amortization for developed technology is recognized in cost of revenue. Amortization for customer relationships and trade names is recognized in sales and marketing expenses.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded assets acquired in the cumulative amount of approximately $3.47 million (cash proceeds, share based consideration and the assumption of certain repayable grants issued by the government of Israel which financed certain development activities related to the intellectual property) purchased through a liquidation proceeding from the trustee for Royal App Ltd., an Israeli corporation (ref: Note 5), which we recorded as intangible assets. Intangible assets acquired included (1) goodwill; (2) intellectual property and trademarks, including rights in patents in so far as they exist and rights of claim (if and in so far as they exist and are transferrable) for infringement of the aforementioned intellectual property; and (3) agreements (rights and obligations) with customers. We initially record acquired intangible assets at their estimated fair values and we review these assets periodically for impairment.

 

Software Research & Development Expenditure

 

Software research and development expenditures consist primarily of costs associated with the on-going development of software acquired from Royal App including employee compensation and certain stock based compensation associated with certain employee contracts, as well as other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants and related contract research and facility costs. Expenditures relating to research and development are capitalized as incurred. In the period ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded assets acquired in the cumulative amount of approximately $3.47 million purchased through a liquidation proceeding from the trustee for Royal App Ltd., an Israeli corporation (ref: Note 5), which we recorded as intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we capitalized approximately $990,000 in ongoing research and development expenditures and $28,483 in patent related expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we capitalized approximately $952,000 in ongoing research and development expenditures.

 

Impairment

 

The valuation of goodwill at the reporting unit level is reviewed annually during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if facts or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company presently has one reporting unit; therefore, all of its goodwill is associated with the entire company.

 

Management has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Impairment (cont’d)

 

The Company reviews the valuation of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets or asset groups is calculated based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment testing is performed at the asset group level.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

 

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and;

 

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, related party loans and short term promissory notes. The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted the requirement of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”).

 

We derive our revenues primarily from subscription fees for access to our software offerings, collected monthly, as well as from limited sales of customized professional services. We recognize revenues when a perceived contract exists between the Company and a customer and upon transfer of control of promised products or services to such customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenues are recognized net of allowances and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

  

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

·

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

·

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

·

Determination of the transaction price;

·

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

·

Recognition of revenues when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition (cont’d)

 

Subscription Revenues

 

Subscription revenues primarily consist of monthly fees for providing customers access to our software offerings including feature-based pricing models, where distinct packages are aligned to a specific type of customer persona based on its size, market segment and physical/online store presence. Each package is very different than the next with prices increasing as the functionality increases.

 

Monthly subscriptions to our software packages include routine customer support and unspecified software updates and upgrades released when and if available during the term. Revenues are generally recognized monthly over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer, which we believe best reflects the manner in which our customers utilize our subscription offerings. Customers pay monthly for the services in advance, and if payments are not collected, the access to the service terminates. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting application service at any time and, as a result, are accounted for as a service contract.

  

Customized Service Revenues

 

Customized service contract revenues primarily consist of fees for deployment, configuration, and optimization services, and potentially, training. The majority of our professional services contracts are billed on a fixed price basis, and revenues are recognized over time based on a proportional performance methodology which utilizes input methods. A portion of our customized service contracts may be billed on a time and materials basis and revenues are recognized over time as the services are performed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock options granted to employees, non-employees, and directors using the accounting guidance in ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of service-based options and performance-based options on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards over the requisite or implied service period of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a graded-vesting method over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

Leases

 

The Company determines if a contractual arrangement represents or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases with lease terms greater than twelvemonths are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has lease arrangements that include both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for non-lease components separately from the lease component.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are recognized in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (continued)

 

Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, stock options and warrants and classes of shares with conversion features. The computation of basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted losses per share. The Company had a total of 30,998,323 potentially dilutive securities outstanding at June 30, 2022 in relation to vested and exercisable stock options and exercisable share purchase warrants.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

 

During March 2021 the Company entered into an agreement, (the “Agreement”,) for the purchase of certain assets of Royal App Ltd., a corporation incorporated in Israel, through a liquidation proceeding approved by the Lod District Court (Israel) within the framework of Insolvency Case 53873-01-21. On April 26, 2021, the Company completed a cash payment to the trustee for the acquisition of the identified assets, and the assets were effectively transferred to the Company’s controlled subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. The acquired assets consist primarily of intellectual property which will form the basis of a re-developed SaaS software offering upon completion of development and launch by the Company.

 

Assets acquired included (1) goodwill and (2) intellectual property and trademarks, including rights in patents in so far as they exist and rights of claim (if and in so far as they exist and are transferrable) for infringement of the aforementioned intellectual property.  The Company also agreed to assume two customer service agreements using the original “Shelfy” application, with limited remaining life spans. Finally the Company acquired certain equipment and fixed assets which had been fully depreciated at the time of acquisition. Liabilities acquired included certain repayable government grants.

  

In consideration for the assets acquired the Company paid $2,140,288 (net of VAT), assumed approximately $200,000 USD in repayable government grants, which grants are repayable at a rate of 3% of gross sales until retired in full, and agreed to issue 8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on a diluted basis, following the issuance of certain share capital in respect to the sale of common shares under SAFES, the conversion of 1,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to common stock and an estimate of shares expected to be issued for certain warrants and employee stock options during fiscal 2021. The consideration shares were to be issued to the bankruptcy trustee within 120 days from the date of the closing of the acquisition, April 26, 2021. The trustee, who holds a pledge over the assets of Royal App purchased by Stratford Ltd., may foreclose on such assets in the event the consideration shares were not issued as required under the terms of the Agreement. Any foreclosure would result in the transfer of the ownership of Royal

 

App assets purchased by Stratford, from Stratford to the trustee for the creditors of Royal App. The 22,647,751 consideration shares were issued to the trustee in August 2021 and were valued at the fair market value on the date of issue or $967,853 (net of VAT), as part of the acquisition consideration.

 

The Company has recorded the acquired assets on the Company’s balance sheets as Intangible Assets as of the date of acquisition. The Company has determined there is no impairment to the acquired assets or improvements at the year ended December 31, 2021, as the development of the upgraded software suite for SAAS applications is ongoing.

 

The Company also paid a transaction fee of 2% of the diluted share capital by way of the issuance of 5,661,938 common shares to Everest Corporate Finance Ltd., a company of which our President is an officer, director and shareholder. The shares were valued at fair market value or $283,096 which amount was expensed as a finance cost.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENT

 

Leases

 

In March 2022, we leased car in Israel with a lease term of 36 months expiring in July 2024.

 

We used a discount rate of 6.75% in determining our operating lease liabilities, which represented our incremental borrowing rate. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized.

 

We determine if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Certain lease agreements contain extension options; however, we have not included such options as part of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities because we originally did not expect

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Metro One Telecommunications, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Metro One Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years then ended, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception of $136,809,383. These factors create an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Emphasis of Matters-Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is not able to predict the ultimate impact that COVID -19 will have on its business. However, if the current economic conditions continue, the pandemic could have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company plans to operate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Historical Information:

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Oregon on February 8, 1989, as Metro One Direct Information Services Inc.  On December 12, 1995, we changed our name to Metro One Telecommunications Inc.  The Company was formerly in the business of providing directory assistance service to subscribers through carrier contracts starting with its first contract in 1991.  Previously the Company was contracted with a number of wireless carriers, voice over internet protocol providers, cable companies and various other carriers both free and prepaid providing live operator directory assistance services to the carriers’ subscribers and users. Revenues were historically derived principally through fees charged to telecommunications carriers.

 

Starting in 2005, the Company went through a number of restructures of its business in an attempt to retain market share in a rapidly evolving technology and telecommunications industry.

 

In March 2008, the Company decided to exit the wholesale directory assistance business, but to continue to pursue growth in the Company’s small data services business which it had concurrently developed.

 

As of September 2008, the Company had closed all of its call centers and approximately 700 employees were terminated.

 

In conjunction with the closures, the Company sold a majority of its patent and trademarks to raise funds to continue operations.

 

Further, during 2008, the Company voluntarily deregistered its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  With that action the Company moved from the OTC Markets Bulletin Board to the OTC Markets Pink Sheets.

 

The Company was unsuccessful in pursuing its then current business and ceased filing any current information reports with OTC Markets in fiscal 2009.

 

Current Information:

 

Certain of the officers and directors of the Company maintained the Company’s registration as an Oregon corporation while seeking other business opportunities for the Company and its stockholders between fiscal 2009 and current date.

 

On March 30, 2021, the Company announced that its newly-formed, wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. had received notification of approval from the Lod District Court in Israel for its winning bid to acquire assets of Royal App Ltd. out of insolvency proceedings for approximately $2.4 million USD in cash, the assumption of $200,000 in repayable government grants, as well as 8% equity in the Company on a diluted basis, post conversion of the Company’s preferred common stock and certain other proposed sales of common stock in order to raise the required funds to complete the acquisition, the “Recapitalization”.

 

Royal App is the developer of Shelfy, a white label, headless mobile commerce software platform that helps retailers and fast moving consumer goods companies become growth companies. Shelfy incorporates sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning in its algorithms to markedly improve online shopping metrics through mobile phones for large consumer retailers such as supermarket chains, food and other clients.  Prior to its recent insolvency filing, more than $20 million had been invested in Royal App.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Current Information (continued)

 

If the Recapitalization of the Company was not approved by the shareholders and the 8% of the Company Capitalization was not issued to the bankruptcy trustee within 120 days from the date of the closing of the Acquisition, or April 26, 2021, the trustee, who holds a pledge over the assets of Royal App purchased by Stratford, had the right to foreclose on such assets. Any foreclosure would result in the transfer of the ownership of Royal App assets purchased by Stratford, from Stratford to the trustee for the creditors of Royal App. The transactions as contemplated above were successfully completed during the year ended December 31, 2021, and the Trustee released its pledge over the assets.

 

To finance the acquisition as well as general working capital, the Company proposed to raise up to $3.5 million commencing March 2021 in the form of puttable Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFES”) from institutional investors and family offices.  The terms of the SAFES required that they automatically convert into common stock of the Company following the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock. The Company undertook the conversion of preferred stock in the year ended December 31, 2021, upon receipt of shareholder approval of certain proposed corporate restructure plans.

 

After the conversion of the preferred stock, and as part of the agreement for the acquisition of the assets of Royal App the Company also agreed to issue common stock for commission fees of 2% of the Company’s common stock on a diluted basis, and to the employees of Stratford as to 8% of the Company on a diluted basis, under the terms of an Employee Stock Option Plan approved by Shareholders. Further, in order to undertake these issuances, the Company was required to increase the authorized common stock of the Company.

 

On June 9, 2021, the Company announced a Stockholders’ meeting to be held on June 30, 2021, to approve the following actions:

 

1.

An amendment to the articles of the Company to increase the authorized shares of the Company from 50,000,000 to 600,000,000;

 

2.

An amendment to the articles of the Company to effect a reverse stock split on the basis of not less than 1 for 10 and not more than 1 for 100. Such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company;

 

3.

Approval of a 2021 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan will have available shares equity to 25% of the Company’s capitalization and a term of ten years from the effective date of the Plan;

 

4.

Approval of the Company’s reorganization from Oregon to Delaware.

 

The meeting was held on June 30, 2021, and the Company’s shareholders approved all the actions detailed above, as well as the conversion of 1,000 outstanding shares of Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock whereby each 1 share of Preferred stock held was convertible into 71,683.25 shares of common stock. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock successfully converted their holdings into 71,683,250 shares of Common Stock and the Board issued the remaining securities as agreed under the Acquisition Agreement including 22,647,751 shares to the Trustee as part of the asset acquisition costs and 5,661,938 shares to the agent as financing costs. Further a total of $3.25 million raised in the form of SAFES was converted into a total of 126,614,436 shares of common stock at $0.02567 per share. On August 9, 2021, the Company redomiciled and filed articles of conversion moving its registration to the State of Delaware.

For The Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Current Information (continued)

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company undertook a second financing by way of Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) in the form of unregistered Units at $0.075, each Unit consisting of a share of Common Stock and ½ share purchase warrant for exercise for a period of two years form the date of grant at $0.975 per share. The Company accepted subscriptions with respect to the sale of 25,080,000 common shares for $1,881,000 in gross proceeds. Certain of the PIPE investments have agent fees payable at a rate of 4.25%.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has recently acquired operating assets, is generating modest revenues, and is in the process of pursuing expansion of its new business venture.  The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company’s operations through issuance of its common stock, conducting revenue generating operations or expanding the Company’s existing business operations to acquire projects which generate additional revenue. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve net profits as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues, if any. The Company is currently seeking a further equity financing of up to $10 million US Dollars to meet ongoing capital requirements and has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for this purpose, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

There are no assurances the Company will succeed in implementing its plans. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

 

COVID-19

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on the Company going forward. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to pursue certain planned operations. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report and is subject to change. Management is actively monitoring the situation but given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to estimate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its obligations, raise funds or complete planned software implementations.

 

NOTE 3 - USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Fiscal Year end

 

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% controlled Israeli subsidiary, Stratford Ltd (“Stratford”) as of December 31, 2021. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as the reporting currency for its financial statements. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is the Israeli Shekel.

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, and in the “Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents,” on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Transaction gains and losses including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in “General and Administrative” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company’s subsidiary in Israel and is excluded from the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill amounts are not amortized.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company generally recognizes assets for customer relationships, developed technology, and finite-lived trade names from an acquisition. Finite-lived intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Such amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from 3 to 8 years. Amortization for developed technology is recognized in cost of revenue. Amortization for customer relationships and trade names is recognized in sales and marketing expenses.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded assets acquired in the cumulative amount of approximately $3.47 million (cash proceeds, share based consideration and the assumption of certain repayable grants issued by the government of Israel which financed certain development activities related to the intellectual property) purchased through a liquidation proceeding from the trustee for Royal App Ltd., an Israeli corporation (ref: Note 5), which we recorded as intangible assets. Intangible assets acquired included (1) goodwill; (2) intellectual property and trademarks, including rights in patents in so far as they exist and rights of claim (if and in so far as they exist and are transferrable) for infringement of the aforementioned intellectual property; and (3) agreements (rights and obligations) with customers. We initially record acquired intangible assets at their estimated fair values and we review these assets periodically for impairment.

 

Software, Research & Development Expenditure

 

Software, research and development expenditures consist primarily of costs associated with the on-going development of software acquired from Royal App including employee compensation and other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants and related contract research and facility costs. Expenditures relating to research and development are capitalized as incurred. In the period ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded assets acquired in the cumulative amount of approximately $3.47 million purchased through a liquidation proceeding from the trustee for Royal App Ltd., an Israeli corporation (ref: Note 5), which we recorded as intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we capitalized approximately $990,000 in ongoing research and development expenditures and $28,483 in patent related expenditures.

 

Impairment

 

The valuation of goodwill at the reporting unit level is reviewed annually during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if facts or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company presently has one reporting unit; therefore, all of its goodwill is associated with the entire company. Management has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment.

 

The Company reviews the valuation of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets or asset groups is calculated based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment testing is performed at the asset group level.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

 

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, related party loans and a demand promissory note. The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted the requirement of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”).

 

We derive our revenues primarily from subscription fees for access to our software offerings, collected monthly, as well as from limited sales of customized professional services. We recognize revenues when a perceived contract exists between the Company and a customer and upon transfer of control of promised products or services to such customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenues are recognized net of allowances and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

  

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

·

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

·

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

·

Determination of the transaction price;

·

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

·

Recognition of revenues when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Subscription Revenues

 

Subscription revenues primarily consist of monthly fees for providing customers access to our software apps including feature-based pricing models, where distinct packages are aligned to a specific type of customer persona based on its size, market segment and physical/online store presence. Each package is different than the next with prices increasing as the functionality increases.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

Monthly subscriptions to our software packages include routine customer support and unspecified software updates and upgrades released when and if available during the term. Revenues are generally recognized monthly over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer, which we believe best reflects the manner in which our customers utilize our subscription offerings. Customers pay monthly for the services in advance, and if payments are not collected, the access to the service terminates. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting application service at any time and, as a result, are accounted for as a service contract.

  

Customized Professional Service Revenues

  

Customized service contract revenues primarily consist of fees for deployment, configuration, and optimization services, and potentially, training. The majority of our professional services contracts are billed on a fixed price basis, and revenues are recognized over time based on a proportional performance methodology which utilizes input methods. A portion of our customized service contracts may be billed on a time and materials basis and revenues are recognized over time as the services are performed.

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock options granted to employees, non-employees, and directors using the accounting guidance in ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of service-based options and performance-based options on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards over the requisite or implied service period of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a graded-vesting method over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

Leases

 

The Company determines if a contractual arrangement represents or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases with lease terms greater than twelvemonths are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has lease arrangements that include both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for non-lease components separately from the lease component.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are recognized in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.

 

Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, stock options and warrants and classes of shares with conversion features. The computation of basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 excludes potentially dilutive securities such as share purchase warrants, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

 

During March 2021 the Company entered into an agreement, (the “Agreement”,) for the purchase of certain assets of Royal App Ltd., a corporation incorporated in Israel, through a liquidation proceeding approved by the Lod District Court (Israel) within the framework of Insolvency Case 53873-01-21. On April 26, 2021, the Company completed a cash payment to the trustee for the acquisition of the identified assets, and the assets were effectively transferred to the Company’s controlled subsidiary, Stratford Ltd. The acquired assets consist primarily of intellectual property which will form the basis of a re-developed SaaS software offering upon completion of development and launch by the Company.

 

Assets acquired included (1) goodwill and (2) intellectual property and trademarks, including rights in patents in so far as they exist and rights of claim (if and in so far as they exist and are transferrable) for infringement of the aforementioned intellectual property.  The Company also agreed to assume two customer service agreements using the original “Shelfy” application, with limited remaining life spans. Finally the Company acquired certain equipment and fixed assets which had been fully depreciated at the time of acquisition. Liabilities acquired included certain repayable government grants.

  

In consideration for the assets acquired the Company paid $2,140,288 (net of VAT), assumed approximately $200,000 USD in repayable government grants, which grants are repayable at a rate of 3% of gross sales until retired in full, and agreed to issue 8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on a diluted basis, following the issuance of certain share capital in respect to the sale of common shares under SAFES, the conversion of 1,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to common stock and an estimate of shares expected to be issued for certain warrants and employee stock options during fiscal 2021. The consideration shares were to be issued to the bankruptcy trustee within 120 days from the date of the closing of the acquisition, April 26, 2021. The trustee, who holds a pledge over the assets of Royal App purchased by Stratford Ltd., may foreclose on such assets in the event the consideration shares were not issued as required under the terms of the Agreement. Any foreclosure would result in the transfer of the ownership of Royal App assets purchased by Stratford, from Stratford to the trustee for the creditors of Royal App. The 22,647,751 consideration shares were issued to the trustee in August 2021 and were valued at the fair market value on the date of issue or $967,853 (net of VAT), as part of the acquisition consideration.

 

The Company has recorded the acquired assets on the Company’s balance sheets as Intangible Assets as of the date of acquisition. The Company’s management determined there is no impairment to the acquired assets or improvements at the year ended December 31, 2021, as the development of the upgraded software suite for SAAS applications is ongoing.

 

The Company also paid a transaction fee of 2% of the diluted share capital by way of the issuance of 5,661,938 common shares to Everest Corporate Finance Ltd., a company of which our President is an officer, director and shareholder. The shares were valued at fair market value or $283,096 which amount was expensed as a finance cost.

Investor deposits consist of $3,250,000 of gross proceeds received in the form of puttable Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFES”) from institutional investors and family offices during the period ended June 30, 2021.  The terms of the SAFES require that they automatically convert into restricted, unregistered shares of common stock of the Company following the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock at such price per share equal to the fully diluted capital post conversion of the preferred stock divided by $2,000,000, or $0.02567 per share. On August 20, 2021, 126,614,436 unregistered restricted shares of common stock in exchange for 3.25M in proceeds from SAFES.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS

 

Leases

 

We leased a car in Israel with the lease term in 36 months to July 2024.

 

We used a discount rate of 6.75% in determining our operating lease liabilities, which represented our incremental borrowing rate. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized.

 

We determine if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Certain lease agreements contain extension options; however, we have not included such options as part of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities because we originally did not expect to extend the leases. We measure and record a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. In cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, we measure the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to our estimated incremental borrowing rate for loans with similar collateral and duration.

 

Operating lease expense is comprised of the following:

The Company determines its valuation allowance on deferred tax assets by considering both positive and negative evidence in order to ascertain whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Due to the history of losses the Company has generated in the past, the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets in the U.S. can be realized as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. The Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of officers, directors and other employees of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages except as provided by law.

 

Our Bylaws provide that the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with which action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Except as provided above, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware Law. Neither any amendment to or repeal of our Certificate of Incorporation, nor the adoption of any provision hereof inconsistent with our Certificate of Incorporation, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to or at the time of such amendment.

 

Neither our Bylaws, nor our Certificate of Incorporation include any specific indemnification provisions for our officer or directors against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Additionally, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

Set forth below is information regarding the issuance and sales of securities during the previous three years.

In March and June 2022, the Company issued a cumulative 1,958,332 warrants issued in conjunction with our offering of short-term notes are exercisable for a period of one year from the date of such warrant, at an exercise price of $0.12 per share. The exercise price of the warrants shall be on a cash, and not a cashless, basis, and the warrants may be exercised in full or in part. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment pursuant to any stock-split, reclassification, reorganization, or consolidation of the company. No fractional shares shall be issued as part of a conversion of the warrants. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, 291,667 of these warrants were canceled.

 

During August 2022, the Company received a total of $369,000 in cash proceeds from certain Note and Securities Purchase Agreements (the “August Notes”), and rolled over $570,000 of previously incurred debt under certain notes entered into during the first quarter, including accrued interest (the “New Notes”), with each of the August Notes and New Notes having a term of 15 months from issue date, bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, with accrued interest payable monthly in arrears in cash commencing on October 1, 2022. Further the Company issued a total of 6,714,547 shares of common stock to the Noteholders in conjunction with the terms of the agreements.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

a. to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-K) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (Sec.230.430B of this chapter):

 

(a) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (Sec.230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(b) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (Sec.230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (Sec.230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (Sec.230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (Sec.230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

(i) The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Sec.230.424 of this chapter);

 

(b) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(c) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Metro One Telecommunications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of (i) 200,031,733 shares of common stock held by selling stockholders, (ii) the resale of up to 41,998,323 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, (iii) the issuance and resale of 80,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”).

 

We have reviewed the corporate proceedings of the Company with respect to the authorization of the issuance of the Common Shares. As counsel, we have also examined originals or copies of the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto and such other documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied on certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company. In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing any document.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and that the Common Shares underlying the warrants will have been duly authorized, and when delivered and paid for, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In rendering the opinions set forth above, we are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth therein, and no opinion shall be inferred as to any other matter or matters.

 

The opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the prospectus which forms a part thereof, other than as to the due authorization and validity of the Common Shares. In addition, we acknowledge and understand that this opinion letter may also be relied upon by Pacific Stock Transfer Co. This opinion letter is limited to the specific legal matters expressly set forth herein and is limited to present statutes, regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or regulations.

 

  Very truly yours,

In addition, as part of the purchase of the Shares, the Subscriber shall also receive 1 warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of our Common Stock for each 4 shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, with an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

3. Transfer.

 

3.1 General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant agrees by his, her or its acceptance hereof, that such Holder will not: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Warrant for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Effective Date. On and after 180 days after the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws.

4. Registration Rights.

 

4.1 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.1, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the filing required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such registration would cause: (i) the Company to be obligated to register or license to do business in such State or submit to general service of process in such State, or (ii) the principal shareholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 4.1.1 to remain effective for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months after the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement are first given the opportunity to sell all of such securities. The Holders shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the shares covered by such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.1.2, the Holder shall be entitled to a demand registration under this Section 4.1.2 on only one (1) occasion and such demand registration right shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(H)(iv).

 

4.2 General Terms.

 

4.2.1 Exercise of Purchase Warrants. Nothing contained in this Purchase Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Purchase Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.

 

4.2.2 Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in any of the foregoing offerings, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder, of: (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent registered public accounting firm which has issued a report on the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein).

 

4.2.3 Damages. Should the registration or the effectiveness thereof required by Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof be delayed by the Company or the Company otherwise fails to comply with such provisions, the Holder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief available to the Holder(s), be entitled to obtain specific performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach of such provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity of posting bond or other security.

In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

 

5.2 Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

 

6. Adjustments.

 

6.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying the Purchase Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

6.1.1 Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Shares or by a split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.

 

6.1.2 Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

6.1.3 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Shares covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3. The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

6.1.4 Changes in Form of Purchase Warrant. This form of Purchase Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 6.1, and Purchase Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Shares as are stated in the Purchase Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.

 

6.2 Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder of each Purchase Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or share reconstructions or amalgamations.

 

6.3 Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights.

7. Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants, such number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder. The Company further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and payment of the exercise price therefor, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder. As long as the Purchase Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all national securities exchanges (or, if applicable, on the OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Shares issued to the public in the Offering may then be listed and/or quoted.

 

8. Certain Notice Requirements.

 

8.1 Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or consent or to receive notice as a shareholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Warrants and their exercise, any of the events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to each Holder a copy of each notice given to the other shareholders of the Company at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the shareholders.

 

8.2 Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, (ii) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Shares any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor, or (iii) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business shall be proposed.

 

8.3 Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holders of such event and change (“Price Notice”).

As additional consideration for the purchase by the Purchasers of the Notes, the Company agrees to issue to each Purchaser on the applicable Closing Date a warrant to purchase shares of its Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”, and collectively, the “Warrants”). Each such Warrant shall, among other things, (i) provide for the purchase by the applicable Purchaser of a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the original principal amount of the Note purchased by such Purchaser hereunder divided by the Warrant Exercise Price), at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Exercise Price, (iii) shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance, (iv) have a term of exercise equal to twelve (12) months from the initial exercise date, and (v) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

 

(c) Closing Date. The initial Closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes and Warrants shall take place on the date when all of the Transaction Documents have been executed and delivered by the applicable parties and the other conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 have been satisfied or waived (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser(s)). There may be multiple Closings until the earlier of the Final Termination Date (as defined below) or such time as subscriptions for the sale of Notes in the maximum aggregate principal amount being offered are accepted. The “Closing Date” for any Closing shall be the date that any Purchaser funds representing such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount are transmitted to the Company in accordance with Section 2.2(b). Each Closing shall occur on a Closing Date remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures. During the Offering, upon the Company’s receipt of a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount and provided the Company accepts such Purchaser’s subscription, subscription funds received by the Company pursuant to the Offering may be used by the Company by the Company and released at the discretion of the Company from time to time. If a subscription is not accepted, whether in whole or in part at the discretion of the Company, the subscription funds held therein will be returned to the Subscriber without interest or deduction. The Offering shall terminate on or before March 15, 2022 (the “Termination Date”); provided the Termination Date may be extended at the Company’s sole discretion for an additional 30 days, which extended Termination Date is referred to herein as the “Final Termination Date”. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Offering in its discretion following the initial Closing.

6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

6.13 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Note or Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity but without any requirement to post any surety bond)) associated with the issuance of such replacement Note or Securities, as applicable.

 

6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Proceeding for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

6.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

 

6.16 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

6.17 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

6.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

1. Purchase of Shares.

 

1.1 Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of [*] ([*] Warrant Shares]) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”).

 

1.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price for the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1 (the “Shares”) shall be $0.12 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Shares and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on March [*], 2022 and ending at 5:00 p.m. ET on March [*], 2023 (the “Exercise Period”).

3.1 While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

 

(a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and

 

(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

 

3.2 Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 above.

 

3.3 As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within twenty (20) days thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense will cause the Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by (x) the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by the Holder or (B) the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and (y) otherwise by book entry transfer registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (or at the request of the Holder, by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee), for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price, prior to the issuance of such Shares, having been paid.

 

3.4 In case such exercise is in part only, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder, issue a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Shares equal to the number of such Shares described in this Warrant minus the number of such Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3.1 above.

4.2 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

5.1 Subdivisions Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the issuance but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.

Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, at each applicable Closing Date, a promissory note in the principal amount of such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount (each, a “Note”, and collectively, the “Notes”); provided, each Purchaser is committed only to purchase a Note in the principal amount set forth on its signature page attached hereto.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that: (1) this subscription is part of a proposed placement by the Company of up to $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes and (2) the Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts/no minimum basis” and that, therefore, the Company makes no representation or guarantee that $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes will be sold in the Offering.

 

(b) Warrants. As additional consideration for the purchase by the Purchasers of the Notes, the Company agrees to issue to each Purchaser on the applicable Closing Date a warrant to purchase shares of its Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”, and collectively, the “Warrants”). Each such Warrant shall, among other things, (i) provide for the purchase by the applicable Purchaser of a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the original principal amount of the Note purchased by such Purchaser hereunder divided by the Warrant Exercise Price), at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Exercise Price, (iii) shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance, (iv) have a term of exercise equal to twelve (12) months from the initial exercise date, and (v) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

 

(c) Closing Date. The initial Closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes and Warrants shall take place on the date when all of the Transaction Documents have been executed and delivered by the applicable parties and the other conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 have been satisfied or waived (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser(s)). There may be multiple Closings until the earlier of the Final Termination Date (as defined below) or such time as subscriptions for the sale of Notes in the maximum aggregate principal amount being offered are accepted. The “Closing Date” for any Closing shall be the date that any Purchaser funds representing such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount are transmitted to the Company in accordance with Section 2.2(b). Each Closing shall occur on a Closing Date remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures. During the Offering, upon the Company’s receipt of a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount and provided the Company accepts such Purchaser’s subscription, subscription funds received by the Company pursuant to the Offering may be used by the Company by the Company and released at the discretion of the Company from time to time. If a subscription is not accepted, whether in whole or in part at the discretion of the Company, the subscription funds held therein will be returned to the Subscriber without interest or deduction. The Offering shall terminate on or before March 15, 2022 (the “Termination Date”); provided the Termination Date may be extended at the Company’s sole discretion for an additional 30 days, which extended Termination Date is referred to herein as the “Final Termination Date”. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Offering in its discretion following the initial Closing.

(ii) the subject Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Purchaser, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;

THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] [IS]/[ARE] BEING OFFERED TO INVESTORS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”)) AND WITHOUT REGISTRATION WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“REGULATION S”). TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY [OR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] IS PROHIBITED, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THIS SECURITY [OR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

5.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

5.4 Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver or cause to be delivered Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

5.8 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

13

 

 

6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.

6.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

 

6.16 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

6.17 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

6.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

In connection with and as consideration for the Holder (as defined below) making a loan to the Company (defined below) pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June 29th, 2022, this Warrant is issued to Maoz Everest Fund Management Limited or its assigns (the “Holder”) by METRO ONE TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

1. Purchase of Shares.

 

1.1 Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of 291,6671 (Two Hundred and Ninety One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Seven) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”).

 

1.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price for the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1 (the “Shares”) shall be $0.12 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Shares and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on June 29th, 2022 and ending at 5:00 p.m. ET on June 29th, 2023 (the “Exercise Period”).

_____________________

1 Number of Shares equal to 50% of Holder’s Subscription Amount divided by the Exercise Price.

 

 

 

 

3. Method of Exercise.

 

3.1 While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

 

(a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and

 

(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

 

3.2 Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 above.

 

3.3 As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within twenty (20) days thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense will cause the Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by (x) the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by the Holder or (B) the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and (y) otherwise by book entry transfer registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (or at the request of the Holder, by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee), for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price, prior to the issuance of such Shares, having been paid.

 

3.4 In case such exercise is in part only, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder, issue a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Shares equal to the number of such Shares described in this Warrant minus the number of such Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3.1 above.

 

4. Covenants of the Company.

 

4.1 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters and stock dividends) or other distribution, the Company shall provide the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

4.2 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

5.1 Subdivisions Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the issuance but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

5.2 Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Shares by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

5.3 Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

6. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

7. No Stockholder Rights.

ARTICLE II.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES AND COMMON STOCK

 

2.1 Closing.

 

(a) Promissory Notes; No Minimum Offering. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, at each applicable Closing Date, a promissory note in the principal amount of such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount (each, a “Note”, and collectively, the “Notes”); provided, each Purchaser is committed only to purchase a Note in the principal amount set forth on its signature page attached hereto. Each such Note shall, among other things, (i) be dated the date of issuance, (ii) bear interest from such date at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, (iii) mature upon the date that is fifteen (15) months from the date of issuance, and be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each Purchaser acknowledges that: (1) this subscription is part of a proposed placement by the Company of up to $1,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, such amount is subject to increase in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and (2) the Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts/no minimum basis” and that, therefore, the Company makes no representation or guarantee that $1,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes will be sold in the Offering.

 

(b) Shares. As additional consideration for the purchase by the Purchasers of the Notes, the Company agrees to issue Shares to each Purchaser on the applicable Closing Date. The amount of Shares each Purchaser will be issued pursuant to this Agreement is calculated by dividing the Subscription Amount by the value of each Share, which is $0.1429 per Share. By way of example, if a Purchaser purchases $100,000 of Notes, such Purchaser will receive 700,000 Shares.

 

(c) Closing Date. The initial Closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes and Shares shall take place on the date when all of the Transaction Documents have been executed and delivered by the applicable parties and the other conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 have been satisfied or waived (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser(s)). There may be multiple Closings until the earlier of the Final Termination Date (as defined below) or such time as subscriptions for the sale of Notes in the maximum aggregate principal amount being offered are accepted. The “Closing Date” for any Closing shall be the date that any Purchaser funds representing such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount are transmitted to the Company in accordance with Section 2.2(b). Each Closing shall occur on a Closing Date remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures. During the Offering, upon the Company’s receipt of a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount and provided the Company accepts such Purchaser’s subscription, subscription funds received by the Company pursuant to the Offering may be used by the Company and released at the discretion of the Company from time to time. If a subscription is not accepted, whether in whole or in part at the discretion of the Company, the subscription funds held therein will be returned to the Subscriber without interest or deduction. The Offering shall terminate on or before August 31, 2022 (the “Termination Date”); provided the Termination Date may be extended at the Company’s sole discretion for an additional 30 days, which extended Termination Date is referred to herein as the “Final Termination Date”. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Offering in its discretion following the initial Closing.

 

2.2 Deliveries.

 

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Purchaser the following:

 

(i) this Agreement duly executed by the Company;

 

(ii) a Note duly executed by the Company with such terms as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(a); and

 

(iii) Shares, registered in the name of such Purchaser with such terms as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b).

 

 
3

 

 

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, each Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company, the following:

 

(i) this Agreement duly executed by such Purchaser; and

 

(ii) such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount by wire transfer in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Company.

 

2.3 Closing Conditions.

 

(a) The obligations of the Company hereunder in connection with each Closing are subject to the following conditions being met:

 

(i) the accuracy in all material respects (or, to the extent representations or warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) when made and on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained herein (unless as of a specific date therein in which case they shall be accurate as of such date);

 

(ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of each Purchaser required to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed; and

 

(iii) the delivery by each Purchaser of the items set forth in Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement.

(i) the accuracy in all material respects (or, to the extent representations or warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) when made and on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein (unless as of a specific date therein in which case they shall be accurate as of such date);

 

(ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Company required to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed;

 

(iii) the delivery by the Company of the items set forth in Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement;

 

(iv) there shall have been no Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company since the date hereof; and

 

(v) from the date hereof to the Closing Date, trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or any Trading Market and, at any time prior to the Closing Date, trading in securities generally as reported by Bloomberg L.P. shall not have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall not have been established on securities whose trades are reported by such service, or on any Trading Market, nor shall a banking moratorium have been declared either by the United States or New York State authorities nor shall there have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity of such magnitude in its effect on, or any material adverse change in, any financial market which, in each case, in the reasonable judgment of such Purchaser, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to purchase the Notes and the Shares at the Closing.

ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, which Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosure contained in the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to each Purchaser:

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

 

(c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Shares and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, anti-dilution or similar adjustments, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of clause (ii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 
5

 

 

(e) Issuance of the Securities. The Securities are duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents.

(f) Capitalization. The Company is authorized to issue 600,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which, as of the date of this Agreement, 257,920,700 shares were issued and outstanding. In addition, the Company has a significant number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to existing securities exercisable into shares. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except for the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to existing securities exercisable into shares and except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary.

 

(g) Certain Fees. The Company may enter into arrangements pursuant to which brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or its Subsidiaries to brokers, financial advisors consultants, finders, placement agents, investment bankers, banks or other Persons with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Other than for Persons engaged by any Purchaser, if any, the Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

3.2 Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Purchasers.

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(ii) At the time of the origination of contact concerning this Agreement and the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, such Purchaser was outside of the United States.

(iii) During the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Securities and ending on the first anniversary of such date, or such shorter period as may be permitted by Regulation S or other applicable securities law (the “Restricted Period”), such Purchaser shall not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities in the United States, or to a U.S. Person for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or otherwise in a manner that is not in compliance with Regulation S, except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom.

 

(iv) Such Purchaser has not in the United States, engaged in, and prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period will not engage in, any short selling of or any hedging transaction with respect to the Securities, including without limitation, any put, call or other option transaction, option writing or equity swap.

 

(v) Neither such Purchaser nor or any person acting on its behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling efforts to U.S. Citizens with respect to the Securities and each Purchaser and any person acting on its behalf have complied and will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes and Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

6.9 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Notes and Securities for the applicable statute of limitations.

 

6.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

6.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Proceeding for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

6.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

 

 
13

 

 

6.16 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

6.17 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

6.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

EXHIBIT 10.15

 

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: $[________].00

Dated as of August [__], 2022

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Metro One Telecommunications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of [_________] or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”) the principal sum of [________] ($[_______].00) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. Reference is made to that certain Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August [__], 2022, by and among the Maker, Payee in its capacity as a Purchaser, and the other Purchasers party thereto (as the same may be amended, modified, increased, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement).

 

1. Principal. The principal balance of this Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall be payable on November [__], 2023[1] (the “Maturity Date”). Subject to Section 3(c) below, the principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date at the discretion of the Maker. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

 

2. Interest.

 

(a) The unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest from and including the date of issuance until all obligations of the Maker hereunder are paid in full at a rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears in cash, commencing on October 1, 2022 in accordance with Section 3 (the “Quarterly Interest Payments”).

 

(b) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

 

3. Payments.

 

(a) Each Quarterly Interest Payment due under the Note (other than at the Maturity Date) shall be payable in cash to the Payee by the Maker in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Schedule A hereto or in accordance with instructions provided by the Payee.

 

(b) The outstanding principal balance of the Note shall be payable in cash on the Maturity Date, when all unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Note (the “Maturity Payment Amount”) shall be due and payable in cash to Payee in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Schedule A hereto or in accordance with instructions provided by the Payee.

 

 
1

 

 

(c) In the event a Corporate Transaction or an Insolvency Event (as defined below) occurs prior to the Maturity Date or the prepayment of this Note, an amount equal to two (2) times the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be payable in cash to Payee at the closing of such Corporate Transaction or the occurrence of such Insolvency Event, as the case may be, in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Schedule A hereto or in accordance with instructions provided by the Payee. If (x) the Maker prepays the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Prepayment Amount”) at any time prior to the Maturity Date and a Corporate Transaction or Insolvency Event occurs within sixty (60) days following such prepayment, or (y) a Corporate Transaction or Insolvency Event occurs within sixty (60) days following the Maturity Date, then, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), the Maker shall make an additional payment to the Payee in an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount or the Maturity Payment Amount, as the case may be, at the closing of such Corporate Transaction or the occurrence of such Insolvency Event, in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Schedule A hereto or in accordance with instructions provided by the Payee. For purposes of this Note, “Corporate Transaction” means (i) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets, (ii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Maker immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the capital stock of the Maker or the surviving or acquiring entity immediately following the consummation of such transaction), or (iii) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in a single transaction or series of related transactions, to a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) of the Maker’s capital stock if, after such closing, such person or group would become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Maker (or the surviving or acquiring entity). For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a “Corporate Transaction” if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Maker’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Maker’s securities immediately prior to such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale of equity securities in a bona fide financing transaction will not be deemed a “Corporate Transaction.”

 

(d) Whenever any payment owed under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be.

 

4. Costs and Expenses. The Maker agrees to reimburse the Payee for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Maker in connection with the (i) collection of any sums due under this Note; and (ii) enforcement of this Note or any other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses of any third party provider engaged by Payee for such purpose).

 

5. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied as follows:

 

(a) First, to Payee for reimbursable costs and expenses incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees;

 

(b) Second, to Payee to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Note until paid in full;

 

(c) Lastly, to Payee to pay principal balance of this Note until paid in full.

________________________________ 

 

1 Maturity Date to be fifteen (15) months from date of issuance.

6. Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”):

 

(a) Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure to make any payment of the principal or interest on or other payments owing in respect of this Note, free of any claim of subordination, within five (5) Business Days following the date when due;

 

(b) Breach of Representations or Warranties.
