ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Business History
LandStar, Inc. was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998, for the purpose of purchasing, developing and reselling real property, with its principal focus on the development of raw land. From incorporation through December 31, 1998, LandStar had no business operations and was a development-stage company. LandStar did not purchase or develop any properties and decided to change its business plan and operations. On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired approximately 98.5% of the common stock of Rebound Rubber Corp. pursuant to a share exchange agreement with Rebound Rubber Corp. (“ Rebound Rubber ”) and substantially all of Rebound Rubber’s shareholders. The acquisition was effected by issuing 14,500,100 shares of common stock, which constituted 14.5% of the 100,000,000 authorized shares of LandStar, and 50.6% of the 28,622,100 issued and outstanding shares on completion of the acquisition. The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a continuation of Rebound Rubber under the LandStar capital structure. If viewed from a non-consolidated perspective, on March 31, 1999 LandStar issued 14,500,100 shares for the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Rebound Rubber.
The share exchange with Rebound Rubber (and other transactions occurring in March, 1999) resulted in a change of control of LandStar and the appointment of new officers and directors of the Company. These transactions also redefined the focus of the Company on the development and exploitation of the technology to de-vulcanize and reactivate recycled rubber for resale as a raw material in the production of new rubber products. The Company’s business strategy was to sell the de-vulcanized material (and compounds using the materials) to manufacturers of rubber products.
Prior to 2001 the Company had no revenues. In 2001 and 2002 revenues were derived from management services rendered to a rubber recycling company.
In August 2001 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value; and, 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. Preferred stock. Preferred shares could be designated into specific classes and issued by action of the Company’s Board of Directors. In May 2008 the Company’s Board established a class of Convertible Preferred Series A (the “ Series A ”), authorizing 10,000,000 shares. The Series A provided for, among other things, (i) each share of Series A was convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; and, (ii) a holder of Series A was entitled to vote 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders.
In September 2008 the Company amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 985,000,000, $0.001 par value. In January 2009 the Company amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 4,000,000,000, $0.001 par value. In January 2010 the Company once again amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 8,888,000,000, $0.001 par value.
The Company’s last filing of financial information with the SEC was the Form 10-QSB it filed on December 19, 2002 for the quarter ended 30 September 2002. No other filings were effected with the SEC until the Company filed a Form 15 May 19, 2008, which terminated the Company’s filing obligations with SEC.
The Company was effectively dormant for a number of years. In or around February 2014 there was a change in control when Kevin Hayes acquired 1,000,000 shares of the Series A, and was appointed as the sole director and officer. In or around April 2017 there was another change in control when Kevin Hayes sold the 1,000,000 shares of Series A to Hybrid Titan Management, which then proceeded to assign the Series A to William Alessi. Mr. Alessi was then appointed as the sole director and officer of the Company. Mr. Alessi initiated legal action in his home state of North Carolina to confirm, among other things, his ownership of the Series A; his “control” over the Company; and, the status of creditors of the Company. In or around June 2017 the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Alessi.
1 |
In or around July 2017, while under the majority ownership and management of Mr. Alessi, the Company sought to effect a merger transaction (the “ Merger ”) under which the Company would be merged into Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“ Data443 ”). Data443 was formed as a North Carolina corporation in July 2017 under the original name LandStar, Inc. The name of the North Carolina corporation was changed to Data443 in December 2017. In November 2017 the controlling interest in the Company was acquired by our current chief executive officer and sole board member, Jason Remillard, when he acquired all of the Series A shares from Mr. Alessi. In that same transaction Mr. Remillard also acquired all of the shares of Data443 from Mr. Alessi. Mr. Remillard was then appointed as the sole director and sole officer of the Company, and of Data443. Initially, Mr. Remillard sought to recognize the Merger initiated by Mr. Alessi and respect the results of the Merger. The Company relied upon documents previously prepared and proceeded as if the Merger had been effected.
In January 2018 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC, which is owned 100% by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. This acquisition changed the Company’s status to no longer being a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000 comprised of (i) $50,000 paid at closing; (ii) $250,000 in the form of our promissory note; and, (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of our common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares have not yet been issued and are not included as part of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. However, these shares have been recorded as “Common Shares Issuable” within our financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2018.
In April 2018 the Company amended the designation for its Series A Preferred Stock by providing that a holder of Series A was entitled to (i) vote 15,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders; and, (ii) convert each share of Series A into 1,000 shares of our common stock.
In May 2018 the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation. The total authorized number of shares is: 8,888,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value; and, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, designated in the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Series A remains in full force and effect.
In June 2018, after careful analysis and in reliance upon professional advisors retained by the Company, it was determined that the Merger had, in fact, not been completed, and that the Merger was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As such, the Merger was legally terminated. In place of the Merger, in June 2018 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Data443 (the “ Share Exchange ”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Data443 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with both the Company and Data443 continuing to exist as corporate entities. The finances and business conducted by the respective entities prior to the Share Exchange will be treated as related party transactions in anticipation of the Share Exchange. As consideration in the Share Exchange, we agreed to issue to Mr. Remillard: (a) One hundred million (100,000,000) shares of our common stock; and (b) On the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing of the Share Exchange (the “ Earn Out Date ”), an additional 100,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “ Earn Out Shares ”) provided that Data 443 has at least an additional $1MM in revenue by the Earn Out Date (not including revenue directly from acquisitions). None of our shares of our common stock to be issued to Mr. Remillard under the Share Exchange have been issued. As such, none of said shares are included as part of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. However, these shares have been recorded as “Common Shares Issuable” within our financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2018.
On or about June 29, 2018 we secured the rights to the WordPress GDPR Framework through our wholly owned subsidiary Data443 for a total consideration of €40,001, or $46,521, payable in four payments of €10,000, with the first payment due at closing, and the remaining payments issuable at the end of July, August and September, 2018. Upon issuance of the final payment, we have the right to enter into an asset transfer agreement for the nominal cost of one euro (€1).

On or about October 22, 2018 we closed on an acquisition under which we acquired substantially all of the assets of Modevity, LLC (“Modevity”), an enterprise cloud-based data storage, protection, and workflow automation platform known as ARALOC™. Included as part of the proposed purchase we would also acquire all technology, sales assets, and customers of Modevity. We paid Modevity (i) $200,000 in cash; (ii) $750,000, in the form of our 10-month promissory note; and, (iii) 164,533,821 shares of our common stock.
Business Overview
The Company is in the data security business, seeking to operate as a cybersecurity software and services provider. As cybersecurity is a large market place, the Company is focused primarily on the data security sector of the market. Data security and privacy legislation, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), is driving significant investment by organizations to offset risks from data breaches and damaging information disclosures of various types. The Company will seek to provide solutions for the marketplace that are designed to protect data via cloud, hybrid, and on-premise architectures. Sensitive files and emails; confidential customer, patient, and employee data; financial records; strategic and product plans; intellectual property; and, all other data requiring security are the focus of the Company’s suite of security products and protocols, allowing our clients to create, share, and protect their data wherever it is stored.
Data443 delivers its solutions and capabilities via all technical architectures, and in formats designed for each client. Licensing and subscription models are available to conform to customer purchasing requirements. Our solutions are driven by several proprietary technologies and methodologies that we have developed and acquired, giving us our primary competitive advantage.
We intend to sell substantially all of our products and services directly to end-users, though some sales may also be effected through channel partners, including distributors and resellers which sell to end-user customers. We believe that our sales model, which combines the leverage of a channel sales model with our highly trained and professional sales force, will play a significant role in our ability to grow and to successfully deliver our value proposition for data security. While our products serve customers of all sizes, in all industries and all geographies, the marketing focus and majority of our sales focus is on targeting organizations with 100 users or more who can make larger purchases with us over time and have a greater potential lifetime value. We also intend to focus on the European Union as the GDPR has driven increased IT spending as companies seek to securely manage data and comply with the GDPR. Targeted industries include the financial services, healthcare, public, industrial, insurance, energy and utilities, consumer and retail, education, media and entertainment and technology sectors.
Size of Our Market Opportunity
Companies are expected to spend $124 billion worldwide on information security products and services in 2019, and a large portion of that spending is to ensure GDPR compliance. As cloud-based services increase in popularity, that market increases to an estimated $300 billion by 2021. The International Data Corporation’s Data Age 2025: The Evolution of Data to Life-Critical study estimates that the amount of data created in the world will grow to 163 Zettabytes (or 151 trillion gigabytes) in 2025, representing a nearly tenfold increase from the amount created in 2016. They estimate that nearly 20% of that data will be critical to our daily lives (and nearly 10% hypercritical). The study also suggests that by 2025, almost 90% of all data will require a meaningful level of security, but less than half will be secured. Every enterprise and governmental agency will almost certainly require new technologies to protect and manage data.
We believe that the functionalities offered by our programs and services position us to benefit from this growing market. Further, as we continue to grow our business, we believe that we may have opportunities to expand into collateral growing markets, such IT operations management; storage management; and, data integration.

Research & Development; Innovation . We intend to increase our spending on research and development in order to drive innovation to improve existing products and to deliver new products. We will work towards proactively identifying and solving the data security needs of our clients.
Grow Our Customer Base. We believe that the continued rise in enterprise data and increased cybersecurity concerns will increase demand for our services and products. We intend to capitalize on this demand by targeting new customers.
Expand Our Sales Force. Continuing to expand our salesforce will be essential to achieving our customer base expansion goals. At the appropriate time, we intend to expand our sales capacity by adding headcount throughout our sales and marketing department.
Focus on EU Opportunities . We believe there is a significant opportunity for our products and services in the EU, and other international markets, in order to enable compliance with the GDPR. We believe that a focus on the international market will be a key component of our growth strategy.
Our Customers
Our current customer base is comprised entirely of the AraLoc customers we acquired as a result of our acquisition from Modevity. Our customers vary greatly in size ranging from small and medium businesses to large enterprises.
Services
Maintenance and Support
Our intended customers will typically purchase software maintenance and support as part of their initial purchase of our products. These maintenance agreements provide customers the right to receive support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they become available during the maintenance period and access to our technical support services. We will maintain a customer support organization that provides all levels of support to our customers.
Professional Services
While users can easily download, install and deploy our software on their own, we anticipate that certain enterprises will use our professional service team to provide fee-based services, which include training our customers in the use of our products, providing advice on deployment planning, network design, product configuration and implementation, automating and customizing reports and tuning policies and configuration of our products for the particular characteristics of the customer’s environment.
Sales and Marketing
Sales
We intend to sell the majority of our products and services directly to our end users/clients. We will also propose to effect sales through a network of channel partners, which in turn, sell the products they purchase from us. We have a highly trained professional sales force that is responsible for overall market development, including the management of the relationships with our channel partners and supporting channel partners.
5 |
Marketing
Our marketing strategy focuses on building our brand and product awareness, increasing customer adoption and demand, communicating advantages and business benefits and generating leads for our channel partners and sales force. We will market our products as a solution for securing and managing file systems and enterprise data and protecting against cyber-attacks. Our internal marketing organization will be responsible for branding, content generation and product marketing. Our marketing efforts will also include public relations in multiple regions, analyst relations, customer marketing, and extensive content development available through our web site and social media outlets.
Seasonality
Our business is not subject to seasonality.
Research and Development
While currently limited, our planned research and development efforts will be focused on improving and enhancing our existing products and services, as well as developing new products, features and functionality. We plan to regularly release new versions of our products which incorporate new features and enhancements to existing ones.
Intellectual Property
We currently make use of the following trademarks in our business:
ClassiDocs
AraLoc
SPARK
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technologies and intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use our trade secrets or other confidential information. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, service providers, vendors and customers and generally limit internal and external access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information and proprietary technology through certain procedural safeguards. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our trade secrets or technology or infringement of our intellectual property. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States, and many foreign countries do not enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in the United States.
Competition
The industry in which the Company competes is highly competitive. Many companies offer similar products and services for data security. We may be at a substantial disadvantage to our competitors who have more capital than we do to carry out operations and marketing efforts. We hope to maintain our competitive advantage by offering quality at a competitive price, and by utilizing the experience, knowledge, and expertise of our management team.
We will face competition from more established companies that have competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, larger sales, marketing, research and acquisition resources, access to larger customer bases and channel partners, a longer operating history and lower labor and development costs, which may enable them to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. Increased competition could result in us failing to attract customers or maintaining them. It could also lead to price cuts, alternative pricing structures or the introduction of products available for free or a nominal price, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, our business and financial condition may be harmed.
6 |
Employees
As of September 30, 2018, we had 12 employees and independent contractors, of which 3 were considered to be part of our management team; 1 of those three is our sole director and sole officer, Jason Remillard. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Government regulation
We are subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which may include business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development and operation of our business is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.
Going Concern
We are dependent upon the receipt of capital investment and other financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our business plan. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations. We may be required to obtain alternative or additional financing, from financial institutions or otherwise, in order to maintain and expand our existing operations. The failure by us to obtain such financing would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 to the effect that our losses from operations and our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We may be required to cease operations which could result in our stockholders losing all or almost all of their investment.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with all of the other information contained in this Registration Statement, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Any of the following risks could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects, and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, which would cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material.
We consider the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding our common stock. Our Company should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount. An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this Registration Statement before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
Risks Relating to Our Company and Our Industry
We will require additional funds in the future to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain funding will cause our business to fail.
We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity sales in order to fund our future operations and fulfill contractual obligations in the future. These financings may not be available when needed. Even if these financings are available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing would have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our current business plan and develop our products, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our operations and possibly cease our existence.
Even if we are successful in raising capital in the future, we will likely need to raise additional capital to continue and/or expand our operations. If we do not raise the additional capital, the value of any investment in our Company may become worthless. In the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan.
Technology is constantly undergoing significant changes and evolutions and it is imperative that we keep up with an ever changing technological landscape in order to ensure the continued viability of our products and services.
Our industry is categorized by rapid technological progression, ever increasing innovation, changes in customer requirements, legal and regulatory compliance mandates, and frequent new product introductions. As a result, we must continually change and improve our products in response to such changes, and our products must also successfully interface with products from other vendors, which are also subject to constant change. While we believe we have the competency to aid our clients in all aspects of data security, we will need to constantly work on improving our current assets in order to keep up with technological advances that will almost certainly occur.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to anticipate future market needs and opportunities or be able to develop new products or expand the functionality of our current products in a timely manner or at all. Even if we are able to anticipate, develop and introduce new products and expand the functionality of our current products, there can be no assurance that enhancements or new products will achieve widespread market acceptance. Should we fail to do so our business may be adversely affected and in the worst possible scenario we may have to cease operations altogether if we do not adapt to the constant changes that occur in the way business is conducted.

We intend to acquire or invest in companies, which may divert our management’s attention and result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may be unable to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our solutions and services and grow our business in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. It is express plan to do so through the acquisition of, or investment in, new or complementary businesses and technologies rather than through internal development. The identification of suitable acquisition or investment candidates can be difficult, time-consuming and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified acquisitions or investments. The risks we face in connection with acquisitions and/or investments include:
● | an acquisition may negatively affect our operating results because it may require us to incur charges or assume substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences or unfavorable accounting treatment, may expose us to claims and disputes by stockholders and third parties, including intellectual property claims and disputes, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset additional costs and expenses related to the acquisition; | |
● | we may encounter difficulties or unforeseen expenditures in integrating the business, technologies, products, personnel or operations of any company that we acquire; | |
● | an acquisition or investment may disrupt our ongoing business, divert resources, increase our expenses and distract our management; | |
● | an acquisition may result in a delay or reduction of customer purchases for both us and the company acquired due to customer uncertainty about continuity and effectiveness of service from either company; | |
● | we may encounter difficulties in, or may be unable to, successfully sell any acquired products or effectively integrate them into or with our existing solutions; | |
● | our use of cash to pay for acquisitions or investments would limit other potential uses for our cash; | |
● | if we incur debt to fund any acquisitions or investments, such debt may subject us to material restrictions on our ability to conduct our business; and | |
● | if we issue a significant amount of equity securities in connection with future acquisitions, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease. |
The occurrence of any of these risks could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We will face intense competition in our market, especially from larger, well established companies, and we may lack sufficient financial and other resources to maintain and improve our competitive position.
The market for data security and data governance solutions is intensely competitive and is characterized by constant change and innovation. We face competition from both traditional, larger software vendors offering enterprise-wide software frameworks and services, and smaller companies offering point solutions for specific identity and data governance issues. We also compete with IT equipment vendors and systems management solution providers whose products and services address identity and data governance requirements. Our principal competitors vary depending on the product we offer. Many of our existing competitors have, and some of our potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages, such as:
● | greater name recognition and longer operating histories; |
9 |
● | more comprehensive and varied products and services; | |
● | broader product offerings and market focus; | |
● | greater resources to develop technologies or make acquisitions; | |
● | more expansive intellectual property portfolios; | |
● | broader distribution and established relationships with distribution partners and customers; | |
● | greater customer support resources; and | |
● | substantially greater financial, technical and other resources. |
Given their larger size, greater resources and existing customer relationships, our competitors may be able to compete and respond more effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. Our competitors may also seek to extend or supplement their existing offerings to provide data security and data governance solutions that more closely compete with our offerings. Potential customers may also prefer to purchase, or incrementally add solutions, from their existing suppliers rather than a new or additional supplier regardless of product performance or features.
In addition, with the recent increase in large merger and acquisition transactions in the technology industry, particularly transactions involving cloud-based technologies, there is a greater likelihood that we will compete with other large technology companies in the future. Some of our competitors have made acquisitions or entered into strategic relationships to offer a more comprehensive product than they individually had offered. Companies and alliances resulting from these possible consolidations and partnerships may create more compelling product offerings and be able to offer more attractive pricing, making it more difficult for us to compete effectively. In addition, continued industry consolidation may adversely impact customers’ perceptions of the viability of small and medium-sized technology companies and consequently their willingness to purchase from those companies. Conditions in our market could change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements, partnering by our competitors or continuing market consolidation. These competitive pressures in our market or our failure to compete effectively may result in price reductions, fewer orders, reduced revenue and gross margins, increased net losses, and loss of market share. Any failure to meet and address these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our founder, Jason Remillard, the loss of whom could adversely affect our business.
Our future performance depends in large part on the continued services and continuing contributions of our founder, Chief Executive Officer, and sole Director, Jason Remillard, to successfully manage our company, to execute on our business plan, and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations. The loss of services of Mr. Remillard could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives and adversely affect our business.
Our Officer and Directors lack experience in and with the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies.
Our CEO, CFO, and sole director, Jason Remillard, lacks experience in and with the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies and with serving as an Officer and Director of a publicly-traded company. Such lack of experience may impair our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and an inability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders. Consequently, our operations, future earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to Mr. Remillard’s lack of experience with publicly-traded companies and their reporting requirements in general.

A failure to hire and integrate additional sales and marketing personnel or maintain their productivity could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.
Our business requires intensive sales and marketing activities. Our sales and marketing personnel are essential to attracting new customers and expanding sales to the customers we recently acquired through acquisitions; this is key to our future growth. We face a number of challenges in successfully expanding our sales force. We must locate and hire a significant number of qualified individuals, and competition for such individuals is intense. We may be unable to achieve our hiring or integration goals due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the number of individuals we hire; challenges in finding individuals with the correct background due to increased competition for such hires; and, increased attrition rates among new hires and existing personnel. Furthermore, based on our past experience, it often can take up to 12 months before a new sales force member is trained and operating at a level that meets our expectations. We plan to invest significant time and resources in training new members of our sales force, and we may be unable to achieve our target performance levels with new sales personnel as rapidly as we have done in the past due to larger numbers of hires or lack of experience training sales personnel to operate in new jurisdictions. Our failure to hire a sufficient number of qualified individuals, to integrate new sales force members within the time periods we have achieved historically or to keep our attrition rates at levels comparable to others in our industry may materially impact our projected growth rate.
If we are unable to attract new customers and expand sales to existing customers, both domestically and internationally, our growth could be slower than we expect, and our business may be harmed.
Our future growth depends in part upon increasing our customer base. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenues in the future will depend, in large part, upon the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, both domestically and internationally, and our ability to attract new customers. If we fail to attract new customers and maintain and expand those customer relationships, our revenues will grow more slowly than expected, and our business will be harmed.
Our future growth also depends upon expanding sales of our products to existing customers and their organizations. If our customers do not purchase additional licenses or capabilities, our revenues may grow more slowly than expected, may not grow at all, or may decline. There can be no assurance that our efforts would result in increased sales to existing customers and additional revenues. If our efforts are not successful, our business would suffer.
If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with our channel partners, our business could be adversely affected.
We intend to rely on channel partners, such as distribution partners and resellers, to sell licenses and support and maintenance agreements. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future may depend in part on our success in maintaining successful relationships with our channel partners. Agreements with channel partners tend to be non-exclusive, meaning our channel partners may offer customers the products of several different companies. If our channel partners do not effectively market and sell our products and services, choose to use greater efforts to market and sell their own products or those of others, or fail to meet the needs of our customers, our ability to grow our business may be adversely affected. Further, agreements with channel partners generally allow them to terminate their agreements for any reason upon 30 days’ notice. A termination of the agreement has no effect on orders already placed. The loss of a substantial number of our channel partners, our possible inability to replace them, or the failure to recruit additional channel partners could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with these channel partners, our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be adversely affected.

Breaches in our security, cyber-attacks or other cyber-risks could expose us to significant liability and cause our business and reputation to suffer.
Our operations involve transmission and processing of our customers’ confidential, proprietary and sensitive information. We have legal and contractual obligations to protect the confidentiality and appropriate use of customer data. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks as a result of third party action, employee error or misconduct. Security risks, including, but not limited to, unauthorized use or disclosure of customer data, theft of proprietary information, loss or corruption of customer data and computer hacking attacks or other cyber-attacks, could expose us to substantial litigation expenses and damages, indemnity and other contractual obligations, government fines and penalties, mitigation expenses and other liabilities. We are continuously working to improve our information technology systems, together with creating security boundaries around our critical and sensitive assets. We provide advance security awareness training to our employees and contractors that focuses on various aspects of the cyber security world. All of these steps are taken in order to mitigate the risk of attack and to ensure our readiness to responsibly handle any security violation or attack. However, because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and our products could be harmed, we could lose potential sales and existing customers, our ability to operate our business could be impaired, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business.
The success of our business depends on our ability to obtain, protect, and enforce our trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights. We attempt to protect our intellectual property under patent, trademark, copyrights and trade secret laws, and through a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other methods, all of which offer only limited protection. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. In addition, issuance of a patent does not guarantee that we have an absolute right to practice the patented invention.
Our policy is to require our employees (and our consultants and service providers that develop intellectual property included in our products) to execute written agreements in which they assign to us their rights in potential inventions and other intellectual property created within the scope of their employment (or, with respect to consultants and service providers, their engagement to develop such intellectual property), but we cannot assure you that we have adequately protected our rights in every such agreement or that we have executed an agreement with every such party. Finally, in order to benefit from intellectual property protection, we must monitor, detect, and pursue infringement claims in certain circumstances in relevant jurisdictions, all of which is costly and time-consuming. As a result, we may not be able to obtain adequate protection of our intellectual property.
The data security, cyber-security, data retention, and data governance industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of relevant patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. From time-to-time, third parties have asserted and may assert their patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us, our channel partners, or our customers. Successful claims of infringement or misappropriation by a third party could prevent us from distributing certain products or performing certain services or could require us to pay substantial damages (including, for example, treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents and increased statutory damages if we are found to have willfully infringed copyrights), royalties or other fees. Such claims also could require us to cease making, licensing or using solutions that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others or to expend additional development resources to attempt to redesign our products or services or otherwise to develop non-infringing technology. Even if third parties may offer a license to their technology, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable, and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, results of operations or financial condition to be materially and adversely affected. In some cases, we indemnify our channel partners and customers against claims that our products infringe the intellectual property of third parties. Defending against claims of infringement or being deemed to be infringing the intellectual property rights of others could impair our ability to innovate, develop, distribute and sell our current and planned products and services. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights and ensure that we are not violating the intellectual property rights of others, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time and effort required to create the innovative products that have enabled us to be successful to date.

Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our technology could adversely affect our growth prospects.
Because we use complex technology, undetected errors, failures, or bugs may occur. Our technology is often installed and used in a variety of computing environments with different operating system management software, and equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors or failures of our technology or other aspects of the computing environment into which it is deployed. In addition, deployment of our technology into computing environments may expose undetected errors, compatibility issues, failures, or bugs in our technology. Despite testing by us, errors, failures, or bugs may not be found it is released to our customers. Moreover, our customers could incorrectly implement or inadvertently misuse our technology, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and adversely impact the perceived utility of our products. Any of these real or perceived errors, compatibility issues, failures, or bugs could result in negative publicity, reputational harm, loss of or delay in market acceptance, loss of competitive position, or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem.
We are subject to federal, state and industry privacy and data security regulations, which could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software.
The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations. In addition, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that either legally or contractually apply to us. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data security practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our technology, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.
Because our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the sales and marketing of our technology and solutions to customers located outside of the United States, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.
We intend to expand our international sales and marketing operations. Conducting international operations subjects us to risks that we do not generally face in the United States. These risks include:
● | political instability, war, armed conflict or terrorist activities; | |
● | challenges developing, marketing, selling and implementing our technology and solutions caused by language, cultural, and ethical differences and the competitive environment; | |
● | heightened risks of unethical, unfair or corrupt business practices, actual or claimed, in certain geographies and of improper or fraudulent sales arrangements that may impact financial results and result in restatements of, and irregularities in, financial statements; | |
● | competition from bigger and stronger companies in the new markets; |
13 |
● | laws imposing heightened restrictions on data usage and increased penalties for failure to comply with applicable laws, particularly in the EU; | |
● | currency fluctuations; | |
● | management communication and integration problems resulting from cultural differences and geographic dispersion; | |
● | potentially adverse tax consequences, including multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures, the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings and changes in tax rates; | |
● | uncertainty around how the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the EU will impact its access to the European Union Single Market, the related regulatory environment, the global economy, and the resulting impact on our business; and | |
● | lack of familiarity with local laws, customs and practices, and laws and business practices favoring local competitors or commercial parties. |
The occurrence of any one of these risks could harm our international business and, consequently, our operating results. Additionally, operating in international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources. We cannot be certain that the investment and additional resources required to operate in other countries will produce desired levels of revenue or net income.
The adoption of the recent tax reform and the enactment of additional legislation changing the United States taxation of international business activities could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “ TCJA ”), which significantly reformed the Internal Revenue Code. The TCJA, among other things, included changes to U.S. federal tax rates, imposes significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest, restricts the use of net operating loss carry-forwards arising after December 31, 2017, allows for the expensing of capital expenditures, and puts into effect the migration from a “worldwide” system of taxation to a territorial system. We continue to examine the impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business. Due to the proposed expansion of our international business activities, any changes in the U.S. taxation of such activities may increase our worldwide effective tax rate and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. Further, foreign governments may enact tax laws in response to the TCJA that could result in further changes to global taxation and materially affect our financial position and results of operations. The impact of the TCJA on holders of our securities is uncertain. We urge our stockholders to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to such legislation and the potential tax consequences.
Changes in financial accounting standards may cause adverse and unexpected revenue fluctuations and impact our reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards or practices could harm our operating results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may harm our operating results or the way we conduct our business. Additionally, the adoption of new or revised accounting principles may require that we make significant changes to our systems process and controls.

Our business is subject to the risks of fire, power outages, floods, earthquakes and other catastrophic events, and to interruption by manmade problems such as terrorism.
A significant natural disaster, such as a fire, flood or an earthquake, or a significant power outage could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the event our customers’ information technology systems or our channel partners’ selling or distribution abilities are hindered by any of these events, we may miss financial targets, such as revenues and sales targets, for a particular quarter. Further, if a natural disaster occurs in a region from which we derive a significant portion of our revenue, customers in that region may delay or forego purchases of our products, which may materially and adversely impact our results of operations for a particular period. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions in our business or the business of channel partners, customers or the economy as a whole. All of the aforementioned risks may be exacerbated if the disaster recovery plans for us and our channel partners prove to be inadequate. To the extent that any of the above results in delays or cancellations of customer orders, or the delay in the manufacture, deployment or shipment of our products, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
We anticipate that our operations will continue to increase in complexity as we grow, which will add additional challenges to the management of our business in the future.
We expect that our business will grow as we execute on our business, and that as we grow our operations will increase in complex. To effectively manage this growth, we have made and continue to make substantial investments to improve our operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. Further, as our customer base grows we will need to expand our professional services and other personnel. We also will need to effectively manage our direct and indirect sales processes as the number and type of our sales personnel and channel partners grows and becomes more complex, and as we expand into foreign markets. If we are unable to effectively manage the increasing complexity of our business and operations, the quality of our technology and customer service could suffer, and we may not be able to adequately address competitive challenges. These factors could all negatively impact our business, operations, operating results, and financial condition.
We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.
We expect our net sales and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:
● | Demand for data security; | |
● | Our ability to retain existing customers or encourage repeat purchases; | |
● | Advertising and other marketing costs; and | |
● | General economic conditions |
The variability and unpredictability of these and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, could result in our failing to meet or exceed financial expectations for a given period. If our operating results in future quarters fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts that cover our stock, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.
The recently enacted JOBS Act will allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.
The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will be, among other things:
● | exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting; |
15 |
● | exempt from the “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers; | |
● | permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Exchange Act and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and | |
● | exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements. |
Although the Company is still evaluating the JOBS Act, it currently intends to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.

Adverse economic conditions may negatively impact our business.
Our business depends on the overall demand for information technology and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. Any significant weakening of the economy in the United States or Europe and of the global economy, more limited availability of credit, a reduction in business confidence and activity, decreased government spending, economic uncertainty and other difficulties may affect one or more of the sectors or countries in which we sell our solutions. Global economic and political uncertainty may cause some of our customers or potential customers to curtail spending generally or IT and data security spending specifically, and may ultimately result in new regulatory and cost challenges to our operations. In addition, a strong dollar could reduce demand for our products in countries with relatively weaker currencies. These adverse conditions could result in reductions in sales of our solutions, longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial position.
We cannot predict every event and circumstance that may impact our business and, therefore, the risks discussed herein may not be the only ones you should consider.
As we continue to grow our business, we may encounter other risks of which we are not aware as of the date of this Registration Statement. These additional risks may cause serious damage to our business in the future, the impact of which we cannot estimate at this time.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “LDSR”. However, trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.
Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future. We do not have intention to apply for quotation on the OTCQB at this moment, but we could apply for OTCQB in the near future.
We have had a history of losses and may incur future losses, which may prevent us from attaining profitability.
We have had a history of operating losses since our inception and, as of 30 September 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $13,368,350. We may incur operating losses in the future, and these losses could be substantial and impact our ability to attain profitability. We do not expect to significantly increase expenditures for product development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing expenses; however, if we cannot increase revenue growth, we will not achieve or sustain profitability or positive operating cash flows. Even if we achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability or positive operating cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have not generated any profit from combined operations since our inception. We expect that our operating expenses will increase over the next twelve months to continue our business development activities. Based on our average monthly expenses and current burn rate, we estimate that our cash on hand as of 30 September 2018 will not sufficiently support our operation for the next twelve months.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 to the effect that our losses from operations and our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We may be required to cease operations which could result in our stockholders losing all or almost all of their investment.

Because we will become a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.
Because we will not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of our common stock, and because we will not be listed on a national securities exchange, security analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we were to become a public reporting company by means of an IPO because they may be less familiar with our company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development.
Our common stock is subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and could adversely affect trading activity in our securities.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a “penny stock” according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:
● | make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser; | |
● | receive the purchaser’s prior written agreement to the transaction; | |
● | provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and | |
● | obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed. |
If required to comply with these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance.
Our stock price may experience substantial volatility as a result of a number of factors, including:
● | sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock; | |
● | the success of competitive products or technologies; | |
● | announcements about us or about our competitors, including new product introductions and commercial results; | |
● | the recruitment or departure of key personnel; | |
● | litigation and other developments; |
18 |
● | actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts; | |
● | variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; and | |
● | general economic, industry and market conditions. |
Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for Pink Sheet companies in particular, have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors could reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
We currently have outstanding shares of preferred stock that have special rights that could limit our ability to undertake corporate transactions, inhibit potential changes of control and reduce the proceeds available to our common stockholders in the event of a change in control.
We currently have outstanding two classes of stock, common stock and preferred stock, and there is one series of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to holders of common stock at a conversion ratio of 15,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.
As a result of the rights our preferred stockholders have, we may not be able to undertake certain corporate transactions, including equity or debt offerings necessary to raise sufficient capital to run our business, change of control transactions or other transactions that may otherwise be beneficial to our businesses. These provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. The market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by the rights of our preferred stockholders.
We have never paid and do not intend to pay cash dividends.
We have never paid cash dividends on any of our capital stock and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be our common stockholders’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Under the terms of our existing Articles of Incorporation, we cannot declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any class or series of our capital stock, other than dividends on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, unless we pay dividends to the holders of our preferred stock. Additionally, without special stockholder and board approvals, we cannot currently pay or declare dividends and will be limited in our ability to do so until such time, if ever, that we are listed on a stock exchange.
Our sole director and sole officer has the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.
Our sole director and sole officer, Jason Remillard, holds 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (each share votes as the equivalent of 15,000 shares of common stock on all matters submitted for a vote by the common stockholders), and as such, Mr. Remillard would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, Mr. Remillard would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and under Nevada law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, respectively, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors.
We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public reporting company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
As a public reporting company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, have imposed various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Complying with these laws and regulations requires the time and attention of our Board of Directors and management, and increases our expenses. After we file this Registration Statement with the SEC we will become fully subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other federal securities laws, rules and regulations related thereto, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We estimate that we will incur approximately $150,000 to $200,000 in 2019 to comply with public company compliance requirements with many of those costs recurring annually thereafter.
Among other things, we will be required to:
● | maintain and evaluate a system of internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; | |
● | maintain policies relating to disclosure controls and procedures; | |
● | prepare and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our obligations under federal securities laws; | |
● | institute a more comprehensive compliance function, including corporate governance; and | |
● | involve, to a greater degree, our outside legal counsel and accountants in the above activities. |
The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders are expensive and much greater than that of a privately-held company, and compliance with these rules and regulations may require us to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel, and will involve a material increase in regulatory, legal and accounting expenses and the attention of management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, being a public company makes it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. In the future, we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain this coverage.
20 |
We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
As a reporting company we are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our sole director has the ability, among other things, to determine his own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We currently have outstanding, and we may in the future issue, instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, which will result in additional dilution to you.
We currently have outstanding instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, and we may need to issue similar instruments in the future. In the event that these convertible instruments are converted into shares of common stock outstanding stock, or that we make additional issuances of other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to issue shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors or the then current market price.
We may, in the future, issue additional shares of our common stock, which may have a dilutive effect on our current stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 8,888,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 4,847,676,982 shares were issued and outstanding as of 31 October 2018. The future issuance of our common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
State Securities Laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell shares.
Secondary trading in our common stock may not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock cannot be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in our Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategy, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans, and (e) our anticipated needs for, and use of, working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections in this Form 10.
Overview
LandStar, Inc. was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998, for the purpose of purchasing, developing and reselling real property, with its principal focus on the development of raw land. From incorporation through December 31, 1998, LandStar had no business operations and was a development-stage company. LandStar did not purchase or develop any properties and decided to change its business plan and operations. On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired approximately 98.5% of the common stock of Rebound Rubber Corp. pursuant to a share exchange agreement with Rebound Rubber Corp. (“ Rebound Rubber ”) and substantially all of Rebound Rubber’s shareholders. The acquisition was effected by issuing 14,500,100 shares of common stock, which constituted 14.5% of the 100,000,000 authorized shares of LandStar, and 50.6% of the 28,622,100 issued and outstanding shares on completion of the acquisition. The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a continuation of Rebound Rubber under the LandStar capital structure. If viewed from a non-consolidated perspective, on March 31, 1999 LandStar issued 14,500,100 shares for the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Rebound Rubber.
The share exchange with Rebound Rubber (and other transactions occurring in March, 1999) resulted in a change of control of LandStar and the appointment of new officers and directors of the Company. These transactions also redefined the focus of the Company on the development and exploitation of the technology to de-vulcanize and reactivate recycled rubber for resale as a raw material in the production of new rubber products. The Company’s business strategy was to sell the de-vulcanized material (and compounds using the materials) to manufacturers of rubber products.
Prior to 2001 the Company had no revenues. In 2001 and 2002 revenues were derived from management services rendered to a rubber recycling company.
22 |
In August 2001 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value; and, 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. Preferred stock. Preferred shares could be designated into specific classes and issued by action of the Company’s Board of Directors. In May 2008 the Company’s Board established a class of Convertible Preferred Series A (the “ Series A ”), authorizing 10,000,000 shares. The Series A provided for, among other things, (i) each share of Series A was convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; and, (ii) a holder of Series A was entitled to vote 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders.
In September 2008 the Company amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 985,000,000, $0.001 par value. In January 2009 the Company amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 4,000,000,000, $0.001 par value. In January 2010 the Company once again amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 8,888,000,000, $0.001 par value.
The Company’s last filing of financial information with the SEC was the Form 10-QSB it filed on December 19, 2002 for the quarter ended 30 September 2002. No other filings were effected with the SEC until the Company filed a Form 15 May 19, 2008, which terminated the Company’s filing obligations with SEC.
The Company was effectively dormant for a number of years. In or around February 2014 there was a change in control when Kevin Hayes acquired 1,000,000 shares of the Series A, and was appointed as the sole director and officer. In or around April 2017 there was another change in control when Kevin Hayes sold the 1,000,000 shares of Series A to Hybrid Titan Management, which then proceeded to assign the Series A to William Alessi. Mr. Alessi was then appointed as the sole director and officer of the Company. Mr. Alessi initiated legal action in his home state of North Carolina to confirm, among other things, his ownership of the Series A; his “control” over the Company; and, the status of creditors of the Company. In or around June 2017 the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Alessi.
In or around July 2017, while under the majority ownership and management of Mr. Alessi, the Company sought to effect a merger transaction (the “ Merger ”) under which the Company would be merged into Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“ Data443 ”). Data443 was formed as a North Carolina corporation in July 2017 under the original name LandStar, Inc. The name of the North Carolina corporation was changed to Data443 in December 2017. In November 2017 the controlling interest in the Company was acquired by our current chief executive officer and sole board member, Jason Remillard, when he acquired all of the Series A shares from Mr. Alessi. In that same transaction Mr. Remillard also acquired all of the shares of Data443 from Mr. Alessi. Mr. Remillard was then appointed as the sole director and sole officer of the Company, and of Data443. Initially, Mr. Remillard sought to recognize the Merger initiated by Mr. Alessi and respect the results of the Merger. The Company relied upon documents previously prepared and proceeded as if the Merger had been effected.
In January 2018 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC, which is owned 100% by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. This acquisition changed the Company’s status to no longer being a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000 comprised of (i) $50,000 paid at closing; (ii) $250,000 in the form of our promissory note; and, (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of our common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares have not yet been issued and are not included as part of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. However, these shares have been recorded as “Common Shares Issuable” within our financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2018.
In April 2018 the Company amended the designation for its Series A Preferred Stock by providing that a holder of Series A was entitled to (i) vote 15,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders; and, (ii) convert each share of Series A into 1,000 shares of our common stock.
In May 2018 the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation. The total authorized number of shares is: 8,888,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value; and, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, designated in the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Series A remains in full force and effect.
23 |
In June 2018, after careful analysis and in reliance upon professional advisors retained by the Company, it was determined that the Merger had, in fact, not been completed, and that the Merger was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As such, the Merger was legally terminated. In place of the Merger, in June 2018 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Data443 (the “ Share Exchange ”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Data443 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with both the Company and Data443 continuing to exist as corporate entities. The finances and business conducted by the respective entities prior to the Share Exchange will be treated as related party transactions in anticipation of the Share Exchange. As consideration in the Share Exchange, we agreed to issue to Mr. Remillard: (a) One hundred million (100,000,000) shares of our common stock; and (b) On the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing of the Share Exchange (the “ Earn Out Date ”), an additional 100,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “ Earn Out Shares ”) provided that Data 443 has at least an additional $1MM in revenue by the Earn Out Date (not including revenue directly from acquisitions). None of our shares of our common stock to be issued to Mr. Remillard under the Share Exchange have been issued. As such, none of said shares are included as part of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. However, these shares have been recorded as “Common Shares Issuable” within our financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2018.
On or about 29 June 2018 we secured the rights to the WordPress GDPR Framework through our wholly owned subsidiary Data443 for a total consideration of €40,001, or $46,521, payable in four payments of €10,000, with the first payment due at closing, and the remaining payments issuable at the end of July, August and September, 2018. Upon issuance of the final payment, we have the right to enter into an asset transfer agreement for the nominal cost of one euro (€1).
On or about 22 October 2018 we closed on an acquisition under which we acquired substantially all of the assets of Modevity, LLC (“Modevity”), an enterprise cloud-based data storage, protection, and workflow automation platform known as ARALOC™. Included as part of the proposed purchase we would also acquire all technology, sales assets, and customers of Modevity. We paid Modevity (i) $200,000 in cash; (ii) $750,000, in the form of our 10-month promissory note; and, (iii) 164,533,821 shares of our common stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies, relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. Unless otherwise discussed herein, management of the Company has determined that these recent accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements which we have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material.
24 |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in this Annual Report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Assumption as a Going Concern
Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, given our current financial position and lack of liquidity, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
The issuance of the convertible debt issued by the Company (described in Note 4 to the Financial Statements) generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid in capital).
25 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2: |
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
|
Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by us in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.
Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision
The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
26 |
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses and presently has no revenue-producing business; (b) general economic conditions; and, (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no cash or cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $481,627 and $210,440 respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 and through the date of this Registration Statement, we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has severely hamstrung our ability to execute our operating plan. We have generated no revenue though we have actively prepared to initiate business in the data security market, and we acquired an active business subsequent to December 31, 2017. We have also been required to maintain our corporate existence; satisfy the requirements of being a public company; and, have chosen to become a mandatory filer with the SEC. We will need obtain capital to continue operations. There is no assurance that our Company will be able to secure such funding on acceptable (or any) terms. During the year ended December 31, 2017 we reported a net loss of $271,187 and had negative cash flows from operating activities totaling $0 for the same period. Combined with a beginning cash balance of $0 as of January 01, 2017.
As of December 31, 2017, we had assets of cash in the amount of $0, and no other assets as the Company was just commencing operations. As of December 31, 2017, we had liabilities of $481,627. The Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,717,106.
The revenues, if any, generated from our acquisitions alone will not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless the Company can attract additional investment, the future of the Company operating as a going concern is in serious doubt.
We will now be obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities of ours more time- consuming and costly. In order to meet the needs to comply with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, we will need investment of capital.
Management has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 were $1,854,051, a significant increase of $1,845,576 from $5,475 incurred in the comparable prior period ended September 30, 2017. The increase was the result of the Company no longer being a shell company and having higher staffing levels, professional and service provider costs, and associated operating costs involved with the business operations.
Other income/expense. The Company had no “Other income” for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and “Other expense” of $2,978,103 consisting mainly of interest expense and loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability. During the comparable prior period ended September 30, 2017, the Company had no “Other Income” or “Other expenses”.
Interest expense . Interest expense accrued for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was $22,115, compared with no interest expense for the comparable prior period in 2017. The increase in the accrued interest expense was due to the related increase in outstanding notes payable.
Net loss. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was $4,832,154, compared to a net loss of $5,475 for the comparable period in 2017.

General and Administrative . General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 were $562,838, as compared to no such expenses incurred in the comparable prior period ended September 30, 2017. The increase was the result of the Company no longer being a shell and commencing business operations.
Interest expense. The Company had interest expense of $13,408 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to no interest expense for the comparable prior three month period ended 2017.
Net loss. Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was $3,382,742 compared to a net loss of $0 in the comparable prior three month period in 2017.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in such consolidated financial statements, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $481,627 at December 31, 2017 and incurred a net loss of $271,187 for the year ended December 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm in their audit report to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern was raised due to our net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and our expectation that these conditions may continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, we will require additional financing to fund future operations. Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10 do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations in the future is dependent on the plans of the Company’s management, which will include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

The Board of Directors reserves the right in the future to award the members of the Board of Directors cash or stock based consideration for their services to the Company, which awards, if granted shall be in the sole determination of the Board of Directors.
Executive Compensation Philosophy
Our Board of Directors determines the compensation given to our executive officers in their sole determination.

This package may also include long-term stock based compensation to certain executives, which is intended to align the performance of our executives with our long-term business strategies. Additionally, while our Board of Directors has not granted any performance base stock options to date, the Board of Directors reserves the right to grant such options in the future, if the Board in its sole determination believes such grants would be in the best interests of the Company.
Incentive Bonus
The Board of Directors may grant incentive bonuses to our executive officer and/or future executive officers in its sole discretion, if the Board of Directors believes such bonuses are in the Company’s best interest, after analyzing our current business objectives and growth, if any, and the amount of revenue we are able to generate each month, which revenue is a direct result of the actions and ability of such executives.

ITEM 7. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
There were none in 2016 or 2017
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s), Director(s) and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional Directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our Directors will continue to approve any related party transaction.
Director Independence
Our board of directors is currently composed of a single member, Jason Remillard, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
ITEM 8. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
From time to time we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the operation of our business in the normal course of business. Other than as described below, as of the date of this Registration Statement we are not aware of potential dispute or pending litigation and are not currently involved in a litigation proceeding or governmental actions the outcome of which in management’s opinion would be material to our financial condition or results of operations. An adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
On or about April 9, 2018, a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “8-K”) was filed under the name “Landstar, Inc.” The filing was not authorized by the Company and the Company has had no communication with the named filer. The 8-K purports to present financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and includes an entry for “long-term debt with interest” for $1,000,000 on the balance sheet. Although the Company is aware of an unsubstantiated claim for a $500,000 debt obligation, the Company is not familiar with the allegations that form the basis for this claim. The Company intends to vigorously dispute this claim.
Chuguan Industry Co. Ltd., which the Company believes is located in Beijing, China, appears on the Company’s shareholder list as a shareholder of record for 1,500,000,000 shares of Company common stock. However, the Company’s research has uncovered credible documentation that these shares were cancelled and should not be listed as issued and outstanding. The Company continues to investigate the validity of the cancellation documentation in order to determine if these shares are actually outstanding.
33 |
The Company recently received a demand for conversion of a purported $90,000 note purportedly issued by the Company in 2008. The Company has no record of this obligation and there is indication that this purported obligation was ever recorded in the financial records of the Company. The Company believes that any action or collection or conversion of this purported note will be barred by the statute of limitations. As such, the Company has denied the existence and viability of the note, and will vigorously dispute this claim.
The Company recently received a demand from the same party claiming to have ownership of one million shares of the Company preferred stock. No stock certificate has been presented by the party claiming ownership, and there are no records indicating that the Corporation ever issued these shares to the claimant, or to the party from which the claimant contends it acquired the shares. Further, we believe that any such claim, if there is one, is barred by the statute of limitations. As such, the Company has rejected the claim to the shares, and the Company will vigorously dispute this claim.
The Company recently received a demand from a former consultant demanding payment of amounts purportedly owed to the consultant. The Company believes that no amounts are owed to the consultant. The Company is reviewing all relevant facts and circumstances and considering all available legal options.
Item 9. | Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. |
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “LDSR”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.
For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common stock based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
Fiscal Year 2016 | High Bid | Low Bid | ||||||
First Quarter | $ | 0.0001 | $ | 0.0001 | ||||

Holders
As of December 31, 2017, we had 3,947,676,982 shares of our Common Stock, par value $.001, issued and outstanding. There were 502 beneficial owners of our Common Stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent for our capital stock is Madison Stock Transfer Inc., with an address of 2500 Coney Island Ave, Sub Level Brooklyn, New York 11223, with a telephone of 718-627-4453.
Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock is currently within the definition of a penny stock and will be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).
34 |
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.
Dividend Policy
Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no contractual obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
Currently, there is no equity compensation plan in place.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchasers
We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the fiscal years ended December 31 2017 or 2016, respectively.
ITEM 10. | RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES. |

The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |
● | Through Data443, we have signed consulting contracts with a team of consultants and advisors, of which, four provide senior leadership to the Company in corporate development, technology development, finance, operations, and sale and marketing, with the others providing services in administration, marketing, sales, and engineering. Additionally, we engage junior and mid-level engineering consultants on a project-by-project basis to further develop technology and to implement services for prospective clients. Collectively, the team is paid approximately $200,000 each quarter. Additionally, we have granted stock and stock options to some of these consultants and advisors as part of their compensation or in lieu of cash to reduce cash outlays. Grants of stock and stock options are awarded selectively to consultants upon their start dates, and every quarter thereafter throughout the term of their engagement at a fixed dollar amount. Each grant of stock and stock options is irrevocable, and some stock grants include registration rights; however, each grant of stock is restricted until the one-year anniversary from the grant date, and each grant of stock options vests on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018: (i) 133,567,651 common shares were granted as restricted stock awards; and, (ii) options to purchase 182,550,551 common shares were granted. The exercise prices for the grants of stock options range from $0.0014 to $0.018. One of our consulting contracts is with Myriad Software. Of the shares and options reserved for consultants during the period ending September 30, 2018, approximately 36,055,901 common shares and 36,287,144 in stock options were granted to Myriad Software. Of the approximately $400,000 payable to consultants and advisors in the period ending September 30, 2018, $30,000 of the Company’s consultant expense was due to Myriad Software for services rendered by Jason Remillard during the period. None of the shares committed under this paragraph have been issued as of the date of this Statement. These shares have been recorded as common shares issuable and included in additional paid-in capital – stock subscription within our financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2018 and have not been included in the total number of issued and outstanding shares reflected herein. |

● | On July 2, 2018, the Company converted $10,000 of a promissory note into 200,000,000 shares of its common stock. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |

● | O n September 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Restructuring Agreement with Blue Citi (the “ Restructuring Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, the parties agreed, among other things, to combine all of the Convertible Notes and other amounts owed to Blue Citi into a single note dated 30 September 2018 (the “ Consolidated Note ”). The Consolidated Note made the Convertible Notes null and void, and provided for, among other things, (i) an original principal amount of $829,680; (ii) 8% annual interest; (iii) 18-month maturity; (iv) reduction in the conversion discount from 25% to 10%, meaning that the Conversion Note, at the option of Blue Citi, is convertible into common shares at a price equal to 90% of the lowest trading price during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion; and, (v) Blue Citi waived all known and unknown breaches under the Convertible Notes. The outstanding principal for the Consolidated Note as of September 30, 2018 was $829,680. Based on this amount, and the Company’s lowest stock price of $0.0056 per share during the preceding ten day period, the Consolidated Note is convertible into approximately 148,157,143 shares of our common stock. However, the Consolidated Note contains a limiter prohibiting the holder from converting if the conversion would cause the holder to own more than 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock after giving effect to the conversion of the stock. The issuance of the Consolidated Note was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |
● | On October 12, 2018, the Company issued to AFT Funding Corp. the Company’s promissory note in the amount of $110,000 in exchange for $100,000 in net proceeds. The note provides for a maturity date of July 16, 2019; 8% interest; and, the right of the holder to convert all amounts due into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 70% of the lesser of (i) the lowest price for our common stock during the 20-days preceding the conversion; or, (ii) the lowest price for our common stock for the 20-days preceding the issuance of the note. The issuance of the note was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |
● | On 16 October 2018, the Company converted $20,000 of a promissory note into 400,000,000 shares of its common stock. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |
● | On 22 October 2018 the Company agreed to issue 164,533,821 shares of our common stock Modevity, LLC under the transaction in which we acquired substantially all of the assets of Modevity, LLC. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |
● | On October 23, 2018, the Company issued to Smea2z LLC the Company’s promissory note in the amount of $220,000 in exchange for $200,000 in net proceeds.

The issuance of the note was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |
● | On 15 November 2018 the Company converted $5,000 of a promissory note into 100,000,000 shares of its common stock. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. | |

The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. |
ITEM 11. | DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED. |
Common Stock
This Form 10 relates to our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). We are authorized to issue 8,888,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We are also authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001(the “Preferred Stock”). As of December 31, 2017, there were 3,947,676,982 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
The holders of our Common Stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by our board of directors. Holders of Common Stock are also entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs.
37 |
The holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. The holders of 50% percent of the outstanding Common Stock constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders, and the vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares or a majority of the shareholders at a meeting at which quorum exists are required to effect certain fundamental corporate changes, such as liquidation, merger or amendment of our articles of incorporation.
Preferred Stock
We have authority to issue 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors may issue the authorized Preferred Stock in one or more series and may fix the number of shares of each series of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors also has the authority to set the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, including the dividend rights, dividend rate, terms of redemption, redemption price or prices, conversion and voting rights and liquidation preferences. Preferred Stock can be issued and its terms set by our Board of Directors without any further vote or action by our stockholders.
Series A Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2017, there were 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred shares (i) vote on all matters with the holders of common stock as if each shares of Series A was converted into 15,000 shares of common stock; and, (ii) are convertible into shares of common stock, at any time in the discretion of the holders of the Series A shares, at a ratio of 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A.
ITEM 12. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. |
Under our Bylaws, every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, provision of law, or otherwise.
Without limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
38 |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We have not entered into any agreements with our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify these persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of our Company or any of our affiliated enterprises. We do not maintain any policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under any circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Landstar, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Landstar, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows, for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements 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.
Emphasis of Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will become a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenue and has limitations as limitations on its operating capital resources, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description
LandStar, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. The Company is developing products that enable secure data, at rest and in flight, across local devices, network, cloud, and databases.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

LANDSTAR, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Common stock purchase warrants and derivative financial instruments - Common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.
Beneficial Conversion Feature - The issuance of the convertible debt described in Note 4, below, generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital).
Income Taxes
The liability method is used in the Company’s accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactment of changes in the tax law or rates.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The determination of recording or releasing tax valuation allowance is made, in part, pursuant to an assessment performed by management regarding the likelihood that the Company will generate future taxable income against which benefits of its deferred tax assets may or may not be realized. This assessment requires management to exercise significant judgment and make estimates with respect to its ability to generate taxable income in future periods.
Fair Value Measurements
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. | ||
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
● | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
● | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | |
● | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; | |
● | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company calculates net loss per common share as a measurement of the Company’s performance while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period. As the Company had a net loss for all periods presented, the inclusion of common stock options or other similar instruments would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average shares used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one operating segment and all of the Company’s operations are in North America.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment . The FASB issued ASU 2016-09 to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences. The guidance is currently effective for the Company for the year-ending December 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this guidance on its financial statements.
In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The new standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual report period. The amendments in this ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this standard as of December 31, 2017.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern , which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new guidance, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2014-15 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The provisions of ASU 2016-02 set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a similar manner as under existing guidance for operating leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous lease standard, Topic 840, Leases . This guidance is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 2: Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has restated previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, to reflect the correction of errors related to understatements of accounts payable and amounts due to a related party, and accounting for liabilities created by a beneficial conversion feature associated with the issuance of a convertible note payable.

NOTE 3: LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.
During 2018, the Company has made one product acquisition, ClassiDocs, and completed the acquisition of one entity, Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443”). The Company is actively seeking new products and entities to acquire, with several candidates identified. The Company has developed, and continues to develop, large scale relationships with cyber security, marketing and product organizations, and to market and promote ClassiDocs and other products the Company may develop or acquire. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had operating losses, negative net working capital, and an accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4: CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
Convertible note payable consists of a non-interest bearing convertible note for the original principal of $125,000, payable on demand and convertible at the option of the holder into common shares at the conversion price of $0.00005 per share. The outstanding principal for the convertible note was $125,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The embedded conversion feature in this note created a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) totaling $296,000 and $375,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
NOTE 5: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Management determined that liabilities created by a beneficial conversion feature associated with the issuance of a convertible note payable (see Note 4) meets the criteria of a derivative and is required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of this derivative liability was determined based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liability. This valuation technique involves management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs and is classified in level 3.
Derivative liability as of December 31, 2016 | $ | 19,700 | ||
Change in fair value of derivative liability | 276,100 | |||
Derivative liability as of December 31, 2017 | $ | 295,800 | ||

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows as of December 31:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Noncurrent: | ||||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Tax loss | $ | 1,250,100 | $ | 1,941,500 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (1,250,100 | ) | (1,941,500 | ) | ||||
Total deferred tax assets, noncurrent | $ | - | $ | - |
The Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. During 2017 and 2016, the valuation allowance decreased by $691,400 and increased by $2,400, respectively. The Company has net operating and economic loss carryforwards of $5,441,000 available to offset future federal and state taxable income.
The reasons for the difference between actual income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to losses before income tax (benefit) are as follows:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||||||||||

NOTE 9: LEGAL AND OTHER MATTERS
On or about April 9, 2018, a Current Report on Form 8-K (“8-K”) was filed under the name “Landstar, Inc.” The filing was not authorized by the Company and the Company has had no communication with the named filer. The 8-K purports to present financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and includes an entry for “long-term debt with interest” for $1,000,000 on the balance sheet. Although the Company is aware of an unsubstantiated claim for a $500,000 debt obligation, the Company is not familiar with the allegations that form the basis for this claim. The Company has yet to initiate action in response, though the Company intends to vigorously dispute this claim.
Chuguan Industry Co. Ltd., which the Company believes is located in Beijing, China, appears on the Company’s shareholder list as a shareholder of record for 1,500,000,000 shares of Company common stock. However, the Company’s research has uncovered credible documentation that these shares were cancelled and should not be listed as issued and outstanding. The Company continues to investigate the validity of the cancellation documentation in order to determine if these shares are actually outstanding.
The Company recently received a demand for conversion of a purported $90,000 note purportedly issued by the Company in 2008. The Company has no record of this obligation and there is indication that this purported obligation was ever recorded in the financial records of the Company. The Company believes that any action or collection or conversion of this purported note will be barred by the statute of limitations. As such, the Company has denied the existence and viability of the note, and will vigorously dispute this claim.
The Company recently received a demand from the same party claiming to have ownership of one million shares of the Company preferred stock. No stock certificate has been presented by the party claiming ownership, and there are no records indicating that the Corporation ever issued these shares to the claimant, or to the party from which the claimant contends it acquired the shares. Further, we believe that any such claim, if there is one, is barred by the statute of limitations. As such, the Company has rejected the claim to the shares, and the Company will vigorously dispute this claim.
The Company recently received a demand from a former consultant demanding payment of amounts purportedly owed to the consultant. The Company believes that no amounts are owed to the consultant. The Company is reviewing all relevant facts and circumstances and considering all available legal options.
In the normal course of business, the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. The Company’s management is unaware of any other pending or threatened assertions and there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 10: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Myriad Software Productions, LLC Acquisition
In January 2018 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC (“Myriad”), which was wholly owned by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. This acquisition changed the Company’s status to no longer being a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000 comprised of the following: $50,000 paid at closing, (ii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note, and (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of Company common stock.

Additionally, in connection with the EPA, the Company agreed to a $100,000 commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), payable in common shares which equated to 28,571,429 shares of Company common stock (the “Commitment Shares”).
During September 2018, in connection with the Convertible Note Amendment (note 5), the Company and Blue Citi agreed to terminate the EPA.
Consulting Agreements
During 2018, through Data443, the Company has signed consulting contracts with a team of consultants and advisors, of which, four provide senior leadership to the Company in corporate development, technology development, finance, operations, and sales and marketing, with the others providing services in administration, marketing, sales, and engineering. Additionally, the Company engages j unior - and mid-level engineering consultants on a project-by-project basis to further develop technology and to implement services for prospective clients. Collectively, the team is paid approximately $200,000 each quarter. Additionally, the Company has granted stock and stock options to some of these consultants and advisors as part of their compensation and/or in lieu of cash to reduce cash outlays. Stock and stock option grants are awarded selectively to consultants upon their start dates, and every quarter thereafter, during the term of their engagement, at a fixed dollar amount. Each stock and stock option grant is irrevocable, and some stock grants include registration rights; however, each stock and stock option grant is restricted until the one-year anniversary from the date of each respective grant.

During September 2018, the Consolidated Note was issued to Blue Citi in connection with a restructuring (the “Convertible Note Restructuring”) of previously outstanding convertible notes with Blue Citi. Immediately prior to the issuance of this note, various convertible notes totaling $810,000, which had been issued between February and September 2018, were outstanding with Blue Citi, along with associated accrued interest total $19,680. Those notes (i) accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum; (ii) could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 25% discount to the lowest trading price during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (50% discount upon an event of default under the note), and (iii) were due and payable upon the 12-month or 18-month anniversary of their issuance. | ||

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description
LandStar, Inc. (“LandStar”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. LandStar and its Subsidiaries are developing products that enable secure data, at rest and in flight, across local devices, network, cloud, and databases.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are presented in U.S. Dollars.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Landstar, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. and an entity under common control, Myriad Software Productions, LLC (together, the “Company”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.
Common stock purchase warrants and derivative financial instruments - Common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.
Beneficial conversion feature - The issuance of the convertible debt described in Note 5, below, generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital).

Share-Based Compensation
Employees - The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Nonemployees - During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share- based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-07. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
The Company recorded approximately $240,700 in nonemployee share-based compensation expense for the nine -month period ended September, 2018. There was no share-based compensation expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. There were no option grants during 2017. During 2018, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of the grant as follows:
Nonemployees | ||||
Estimated dividend yield | 0.00 | % | ||
Expected stock price volatility | 34 0.00 | % | ||
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | 2.70 | % | ||
Expected life of options | 5.00 | |||
Weighted-average fair value per share | $ | 0.0040 |
The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock. Due to limited historical data, the Company calculates the expected life based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term which is in accordance with the simplified method. The expected term for options granted to nonemployees is the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Estimated lives are reviewed annually. During June 2018, the Company purchased the rights to the WordPress GDPR framework for $46,800.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for an amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used in the Company’s accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Although no changes were made to provisional amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company will continue to evaluate their estimates related to the new legislation as clarifying guidance and interpretations are issued and the 2017 tax returns are completed.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes .
Fair Value Measurements
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
● | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
● | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | |
● | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; | |
● | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodology used for significant liabilities measured at fair value:
Management determined that liabilities created by beneficial conversion features associated with the issuance of certain convertible notes payable (see Note 5), meet the criteria of derivatives and are required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was determined based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities. This valuation technique involves management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs and is classified in level 3.
Derivative liability as of December 31, 2017 | $ | 295,800 | ||
Addition of new derivatives recognized as debt discounts | 829,680 | |||
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | 3,168,020 | |||

Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company calculates net income or loss per common share as a measurement of the Company’s performance while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period. For periods when the Company had a net loss, the inclusion of common stock options or other similar instruments would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, potential common shares are excluded from such periods.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one operating segment and all of the Company’s operations are in North America.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The provisions of ASU 2016-02 set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of- use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a similar manner as under existing guidance for operating leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous lease standard, Topic 840, Leases . This guidance is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on their operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.
During the last nine months, the Company has made one product acquisition, ClassiDocs (see Note 4), and completed the acquisition of one entity, Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443,” see note 4). The Company is actively seeking new products and entities to acquire, with several candidates identified. The Company has developed, and continues to develop, large scale relationships with cybersecurity, marketing and product organizations, and to market and promote ClassiDocs and other products the Company may develop or acquire. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had operating losses, negative net working capital, and an accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. Acquisition
During June 2018, the Company acquired Data443 through a share exchange whereby the outstanding common stock in Data443, which was wholly owned by Mr. Jason Remillard (“Mr. Remillard”), sole director and sole officer of the Company, was exchanged for shares of common stock of the Company. The total consideration issued for the acquisition of Data443 was as follows:
(a) | 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $1,220,000, and | |
(b) | On the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the share exchange (the “Earn Out Date”), an additional 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Earn Out Shares”), valued at $1,220,000, provided that Data443 has at least an additional $1,000,000 in revenue by the Earn Out Date (not including revenue directly from acquisitions). |
None of the shares of common stock to be issued to Mr. Remillard under the share exchange have been issued. As such, none of said shares are included as part of the issued and outstanding shares. However, these shares, including the Earn Out Shares, have been recorded as common shares issuable within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018.
As the transaction was a business combination among entities under common control, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities of Data443 at carrying value, as though the transaction occurred at the beginning of the applicable period, or January 1, 2018. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the liabilities assumed as of January 1, 2018:
Carrying value of liabilities assumed: | ||||
Accounts payable | $ | 27,232 | ||
Net carrying value acquired | $ | (27,232 | ) |
Myriad Software Productions, LLC Acquisition
In January 2018 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC (“Myriad”), which was wholly owned by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. This acquisition changed the Company’s status to no longer being a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000 comprised of the following: (i) $50,000 paid at closing, (ii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note, and (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The shares have not yet been issued and are not included as part of the issued and outstanding shares. However, these shares have been recorded as common shares issuable and included in additional paid-in capital - stock subscription within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018.

1) | Non-interest bearing convertible note held by Blue Citi LLC (“Blue Citi”) for the original principal of $125,000, payable on demand and convertible at the option of the holder into common shares at the conversion price of $0.00005 per share. The outstanding principal for the convertible note was $100,000 and $125,000 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2018, Blue Citi converted $25,000 of this convertible note into 500,000,000 shares of common stock. The embedded conversion feature in this note created a BCF totaling approximately $3,088,000 as of September 30, 2018. |

2) |
Convertible note held by Blue Citi for a total principal of $829,680 as of September 30, 2018. The note (i) accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum; (ii) can be converted into shares of our common stock at a 10% discount to the lowest trading price during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (40% discount upon an event of default under the note), and (iii) is due and payable upon the 18-month anniversary of its issuance. |
|
During September 2018, this convertible note was issued to Blue Citi in connection with a restructuring (the “Convertible Note Restructuring”) of previously outstanding convertible notes with Blue Citi. Immediately prior to the issuance of this note, various convertible notes totaling $810,000 were outstanding with Blue Citi, along with associated accrued interest total $19,680. Those notes (i) accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum; (ii) could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 25% discount to the lowest trading price during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (50% discount upon an event of default under the note), and (iii) were due and payable upon the 12-month or 18-month anniversary of their issuance. |
||
The Company evaluated the terms of the conversion features of this convertible note in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , and determined it is indexed to the Company's common stock and that the conversion features meet the definition of a liability and therefore bifurcated the conversion feature and accounted for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company determined the value of the conversion feature using the binomial valuation model as follows: |
Expected term | 18 months | |||
Expected stock price volatility | 340.00 | % | ||
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | 2.70 | % | ||
Expected dividend | $ | 0.00 |
As of September 30, 2018, which was also the date of issuance of the convertible note, a liability totaling $1,205,500 was recorded and is included in long-term liabilities. This derivative liability was recorded with $829,680 of the value recognized as a debt discount on the convertible note which will be amortized over the life of the convertible note, and the remaining balance of $375,820 included in the change in fair value of the derivative liability within the consolidated statement of operations as of September 30, 2018. | ||
As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $829,680, offset by an unamortized debt discount balance of $829,680. |
NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Through Data443, the Company has signed consulting contracts with a team of consultants and advisors, of which, four provide senior leadership to the Company in corporate development, technology development, finance, operations, and sales and marketing, with the others providing services in administration, marketing, sales, and engineering. Additionally, the Company engages junior- and mid-level engineering consultants on a project-by-project basis to further develop technology and to implement services for prospective clients. Collectively, the team is paid approximately $200,000 each quarter. Additionally, the Company has granted stock and stock options to some of these consultants and advisors as part of their compensation and/or in lieu of cash to reduce cash outlays. Stock and stock option grants are awarded selectively to consultants upon their start dates, and every quarter thereafter, during the term of their engagement, at a fixed dollar amount. Each stock and stock option grant is irrevocable, and some stock grants include registration rights; however, each stock and stock option grant is restricted until the one-year anniversary from the date of each respective grant.

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (concluded)
On or about February 5, 2018, the Company entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement (“EPA”) with Blue Citi, under which Blue Citi could purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over a period of time terminating on the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date on which the EPA was executed, or (ii) the date on which Blue Citi purchased the aggregate maximum purchase price of $10,000,000 pursuant to the EPA. The purchase price for the Company’s shares of common stock to be paid by Blue Citi was 85% of the price of Company shares traded on the principal market of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a specific time period and formula in the EPA. The embedded conversion feature in the EPA created a BCF totaling approximately $1,500,000 which was previously recognized as of June 30, 2018.
Additionally, in connection with the EPA, the Company agreed to a $100,000 commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), payable in common shares which equated to 28,571,429 shares of Company common stock (the “Commitment Shares”). The Commitment Fee was previously recognized in general and administrative expenses and the Commitment Shares, which were not issued, were recorded as common shares issuable and included in additional paid-in capital - stock subscription within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018.
During September 2018, in connection with the Convertible Note Amendment (See Note 5), the Company and Blue Citi agreed to terminate the EPA. As a result of the termination, a gain on the change in fair value of the derivative liability totaling $1,500,000 was recognized during September 2018. As noted in the above paragraph, the Commitment Fee was previously recognized in general and administrative expenses and the Commitment Shares were never issued. As such, a reduction in general administrative expenses totaling $100,000 was recognized as of September 30, 2018.

On or about April 9, 2018, a Current Report on Form 8-K (“8-K”) was filed under the name “Landstar, Inc.” The filing was not authorized by the Company and the Company has had no communication with the named filer. The 8-K purports to present financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and includes an entry for “long-term debt with interest” for $1,000,000 on the balance sheet. Although the Company is aware of an unsubstantiated claim for a $500,000 debt obligation, the Company is not familiar with the allegations that form the basis for this claim. The Company intends to vigorously dispute this claim.

NOTE 8: LEGAL AND OTHER MATTERS (concluded)
Chuguan Industry Co. Ltd., which the Company believes is located in Beijing, China, appears on the Company’s shareholder list as a shareholder of record for 1,500,000,000 shares of Company common stock. However, the Company’s research has uncovered credible documentation that these shares were cancelled and should not be listed as issued and outstanding. The Company continues to investigate the validity of the cancellation documentation in order to determine if these shares are actually outstanding.
The Company recently received a demand for conversion of a purported $90,000 note purportedly issued by the Company in 2008. The Company has no record of this obligation and there is indication that this purported obligation was ever recorded in the financial records of the Company. The Company believes that any action or collection or conversion of this purported note will be barred by the statute of limitations. As such, the Company has denied the existence and viability of the note, and will vigorously dispute this claim.
The Company recently received a demand from the same party claiming to have ownership of one million shares of the Company preferred stock. No stock certificate has been presented by the party claiming ownership, and there are no records indicating that the Corporation ever issued these shares to the claimant, or to the party from which the claimant contends it acquired the shares. Further, we believe that any such claim, if there is one, is barred by the statute of limitations. As such, the Company has rejected the claim to the shares, and the Company will vigorously dispute this claim.
The Company recently received a demand from a former consultant demanding payment of amounts purportedly owed to the consultant. The Company believes that no amounts are owed to the consultant. The Company is reviewing all relevant facts and circumstances and considering all available legal options.
In the normal course of business, the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. The Company’s management is unaware of any other pending or threatened assertions and there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

This Note is intended to embody that portion of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) which is payable to Holder pursuant to Section 4.3.2.(d) of the Purchase Agreement, and is the same Note as attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit 4.3.2.(d). Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED , Payor does hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the order of Holder the original principal balance of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($750,000) in legal and lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
I
PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
1.1 Required Payments . Payments of principal (no interest is charged hereunder) shall be made in ten (10) equal monthly principal installments of SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($75,000). Said payments shall begin on the thirtieth (30 th ) day following the Closing Date, and continue thereafter on the same day of each successive month until the ten (10) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the entire remaining principal amount, plus any and all accrued interest and all other amounts due hereunder, shall be due and payable.
1.2 Default Interest Rate . Without limitation on Holder’s other rights and remedies, upon the earliest to occur of an Event of Default or the Maturity Date, accelerated or otherwise, and until payment in full of the amount due hereunder, the rate of interest accruing on the unpaid principal balance shall be at the rate equal to the highest rate permitted under applicable law (the “ Default Rate ”), from and after the date of the Event of Default, irrespective of the acceleration of the unpaid principal balance. This Section 1.2 shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date upon which payment in full is due hereunder, or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Holder hereunder.
1.3 Prepayments . Payor shall have the right, at any time, to prepay any unpaid principal or interest due hereunder without penalty.
1.4 Delivery of Payments . All payments under this Note, whether of principal or interest, or both, shall be made to Holder in lawful money of the United States at such place as Holder shall designate in writing to Payor, without any offset, reduction, or recoupment whatsoever, unless expressly provided to the contrary herein. All payments shall be applied first against outstanding fees and damages, then against accrued interest, and then applied in reduction of the principal sum due hereunder. Upon assignment of the interest of Holder in this Note, Payor shall instead make its payment pursuant to the assignee’s instructions upon receipt of written notice thereof.
1.5 Illegality . Nothing in this Note shall be construed or shall operate, either presently or prospectively, (a) to require Payor to pay interest at a rate greater than is at any time lawful in such case to contract for but shall require payment of interest only to the extent of such lawful rate; or, (b) to require Payor to make any payment or do any act contrary to law. If it should be held that the interest payable under this Note is in excess of the maximum permitted by law, the interest chargeable hereunder (whether included in the face amount or otherwise) shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted by law, and any excess of the said maximum amount permitted by law shall be cancelled automatically and, at the option of Holder, if theretofore or thereafter paid, shall be either refunded to Payor or credited to the principal balance of this Note (without prepayment penalties) and applied to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments of the indebtedness evidenced hereby (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest.

SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE, OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF HOLDER TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW.

Payor represents, acknowledges, and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of this Note and the Purchase Agreement, and that Holder would not agree to the terms of the Purchase Agreement if this waiver were not a part of this Note. Payor further represents, acknowledges, and agrees that (i) this waiver is knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made; (ii) neither Holder nor any person acting on behalf of Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver; and, (iii) Payor has been represented (or has had the opportunity to he represented) in the signing of this Note and all Transaction Documents and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by Payor and that the Payor has discussed this waiver with counsel.

The foregoing right and remedy is in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy available to Holder under this Note or otherwise.
(b) Payor, being fully aware of the right to prior notice and a hearing concerning the validity of any and all claims that may be asserted against Payor by Holder before a judgment can be rendered hereunder or before execution may be levied on such judgment against the Collateral, hereby waives these rights and agrees and consents to judgment being entered by confession for possession of the Collateral, in accordance with the terms hereof without first giving notice and the opportunity to be heard on the validity of the claim or claims upon which such judgment is entered.
3 |
(c) Holder may confess one or more judgments in the same or different jurisdictions for all amounts owing hereunder, without regard to whether judgment has theretofore been confessed on more than one occasion for the same amount. In the event any judgment confessed against Payor hereunder is stricken or opened upon application by or on Payor’s behalf for any reason, Holder is hereby authorized and empowered to again appear for and confess judgment against Payor for any part or all of the amounts owing hereunder, as provided for herein, if doing so will cure any errors or defects in such prior proceedings.
(d) Payor acknowledges and agrees that Holder may, after entry of judgment, foreclose upon, attach, levy, take possession of or otherwise seize the Collateral in full payment of the judgment, including but not limited to the passwords and codes for the AraLoc Business Assets, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser Status . At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(5), (a)(6), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) Experience of Such Purchaser . Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality . Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
(f) Restricted Securities . Such Purchaser understands that the Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. Such Purchaser understands that such Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered, and thus the Purchaser will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer such Securities unless they are registered under the Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available. Such Purchaser has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with this investment, and does not anticipate that the Purchaser will be required to sell such Securities in the foreseeable future.
13 |
(g) Reliance on Exemptions . The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(h) Residency . The Purchaser is domiciled in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the Purchaser’s name on the Purchaser Signature Page attached hereto.
(i) Legends . It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear a legend substantially as follows:
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Furnishing of Information . Until the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities, including without limitation, under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
4.4 Indemnification of the Company . Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4, each Purchaser will severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold the Company and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “ Company Party ”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Company Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
15 |
4.5 Reservation of Common Stock . As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants.
4.6 Listing of Common Stock . The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the execution hereof, the Company shall list or quote all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such Trading Market.
4.7 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 any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the 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.
4.8 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality . Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any transactions involving any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced by the Company. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.
4.9 Further Limitations on Disposition . Without in any way limiting the representations of the Purchasers set forth in Section 3.2 above, each Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 4, and
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement (it being expressly understood that the Company is under no obligation to file such a registration statement); or
16 |
(b) (i) Such Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by a Purchaser that is a partnership or limited liability company to a partner of such partnership or a member of such limited liability company to an affiliated venture capital fund, or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof or a retired member of such limited liability company who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner, retired partner, member or retired member or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by any partner or member to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or member or his or her spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Purchaser hereunder.
4.10 Registration Rights . On or prior to thirty (30) days after the effectiveness of the Form 10 to be filed (or filed) by the Company with the Commission, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by the Purchasers) a “Plan of Distribution” reasonably agreed upon the Purchasers and the Company. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Purchasers (the “ Effectiveness Period ”). The Company shall immediately notify the Purchasers via E-Mail of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement not later than 2-days after the Company receives notification of the effectiveness from the Commission.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the County of Wake, State of North Carolina, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

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.
5.10 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.

The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.13 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 action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.14 Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.15 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 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 their 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.
5.16 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.
5.17 Construction . The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has 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 hereto. 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.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
LANDSTAR, INC.
Warrant Shares:___________ | Issue Date: December __, 2018 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, the person more particularly descried on Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the Issue Date (as defined above) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from LANDSTAR, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), up to ___________________ shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b), subject to adjustment herein. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the Issue Date noted above hereof in connection with that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated of even date by and between the Company and the Holder (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).
Section 1 . Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued.
Section 2 . Exercise .
a) Exercise of Warrant . Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (“ Notice of Exercise ”) (which delivery may be made in any manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including without limitation by email); and, within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank, unless payment is being made by cashless exercise as provided in Section 2(c) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.____ , subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).
1 |
c) Cashless Exercise . This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (B), where:
(A) = the Market Price (as defined below);
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant (as adjusted); and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
“Market Price” shall mean the closing sale price per share of Common Stock on the principal market where the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding delivery of the Notice of Exercise or the Closing Date, whichever is greater.
d) Holder’s Restrictions . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any rights or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may at any time and from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage specified in such notice (or specify that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall no longer be applicable), provided, however, that (A) any such increase (or inapplicability) shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (B) any such increase or decrease shall apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

e) Mechanics of Exercise .
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is a participant in such system and either (x) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, or (y) such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant 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 by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares or certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000.00 per Trading Day (increasing to $2,000.00 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such shares or certificates are delivered.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares (or otherwise transmit such shares via DWAC to the Holders DTC account) pursuant to this Section 2(e) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares (or otherwise transmit such shares via DWAC to the Holders DTC account) pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. By way of example and limitation, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000.00, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.00. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Warrant Shares or certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3 |
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .
a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
4 |
b) Subsequent Equity Sales . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the closing price at the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares issued (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such closing price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
5 |
d) Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the closing price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
e) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using a price per share of Common Stock equal to the closing price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.
6 |
f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest two decimal places or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder .
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 7 business days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
7 |
Section 4 . Transfer of Warrant .
a) Transferability . Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions . If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or eligible for resale under Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder and transferee of this Warrant both satisfy the conditions to being an accredited investor, as defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
8 |
Section 5 . Miscellaneous .
a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise . This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(e)(i).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) 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.
d) Authorized Shares . The Company covenants that during the period from the issuance of the Warrant until the Termination Date it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant (without regard to the beneficial ownership limitations contained herein). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
9 |
e) Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions . The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses . No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices . Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies . Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns . Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment . This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings . The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
o) Signatures . Any signature transmitted by facsimile, e-mail, or other electronic means shall be deemed to be an original signature.
