THE OFFERING

 

Worksport Ltd. (formerly know as Franchise Holdings International, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Worksport” and the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the design and distribution of truck tonneau covers throughout the US and Canada. We have developed multiple products for prominent pick-up trucks available throughout our markets. We sell our products through wholesalers and third-party online retailers. Our market consists of three major types of customers including master warehouse distributors; dealer-wholesalers; and retail consumers. Our products are manufactured according to our specifications and design.

 

We are offering a maximum of 40,000,000 Units (the “Maximum Offering”). Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 (a “Common Stock”), and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”) to purchase one additional Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.20 USD per Warrant Share, subject to certain adjustments, over a 12-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Company may call the option with a thirty (30) written notice to the Warrant holder. The Units are being offered at a purchase price of $0.10 USD per Unit on a “best efforts” basis. The Common Shares and Warrants will be separately transferable following the termination of any transfer hold periods under applicable law.

 

The minimum investment established for each investor is $500 unless such minimum is waived by the Company in its sole discretion. Shares offered by the Company will be sold through the Company’s executive officers and directors on a best-efforts basis. We may also engage sales agents licensed through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and pay such agents cash and/or stock-based compensation, which will be announced through a supplement to this Offering Circular.

 

This Offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the initial qualification date; or (ii) the date on which the Maximum Offering is sold (in either case, the “Termination Date”). This will be a continuous offering which commences within two calendar days after the qualification date, will be offered on a continuous basis, may continue to be offered for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial qualification, and will be offered in an amount that, at the time the offering statement is qualified, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years from the initial qualification date. See “Description of Securities” beginning on page 45 for a discussion of certain items required by Item 14 of Part II of Form 1-A.

 

We will hold closings upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. If, on the initial closing date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the earlier of: (i) the sale of the Maximum Offering or (ii) the Termination Date. There is no aggregate minimum requirement for the Offering to become effective, therefore, we reserve the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, development expenses, offering expenses and other uses as more specifically set forth in this offering circular (“Offering Circular”). We expect to commence the sale of the Units as of the date on which the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part (the Offering Statement) is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). There is no escrow established for this Offering.

 

 
 

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

Our common stock is not now listed on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq stock market. However, our stock is quoted on the OTC Market’s OTCQB® under the symbol “WKSP” While our common stock is on the OTCQB®, there has been limited trading volume. There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop in our securities.

 

This offering is being made pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A (Regulation A Plus), following the Form 1-A/A Offering Circular disclosure format for smaller reporting companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”).

 

THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

 

THE SECURITIES UNDERLYING THIS OFFERING STATEMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD UNTIL QUALIFIED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL, NOR SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY, ANY UNITS OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH SALE IS PROHIBITED.

 

INVESTMENT IN SMALL BUSINESS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT INVEST ANY FUNDS IN THIS OFFERING UNLESS THEY CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. SEE “RISK FACTORS” FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN RISKS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING ANY UNITS IN THIS OFFERING.

 

AN OFFERING STATEMENT PURSUANT TO REGULATION A RELATING TO THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, WHICH WE REFER TO AS THE COMMISSION. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR IS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION OR AMENDMENT. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD NOR MAY OFFERS TO BUY BE ACCEPTED BEFORE THE OFFERING STATEMENT FILED WITH THE COMMISSION IS QUALIFIED. THIS PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY NOR MAY THERE BE ANY SALES OF THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL BEFORE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY SUCH STATE. WE MAY ELECT TO SATISFY OUR OBLIGATION TO DELIVER A FINAL OFFERING CIRCULAR BY SENDING YOU A NOTICE WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE COMPLETION OF OUR SALE TO YOU THAT CONTAINS THE URL WHERE THE FINAL OFFERING CIRCULAR OR THE OFFERING STATEMENT IN WHICH SUCH FINAL OFFERING CIRCULAR WAS FILED MAY BE OBTAINED.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate”, “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Offering Circular, including in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements.

  Our ability to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations, taking into account all information currently available to us, we cannot guarantee future transactions, results, performance, achievements or outcomes. No assurance can be made to any investor by anyone that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will be attained, or that deviations from them will not be material and adverse.

Description of the Business

 

Worksport is an innovative company that has integrated the design, patent, production and distribution of proprietary truck tonneau covers. We have developed multiple products for prominent pick-up trucks throughout the US and Canadian markets. We sell our products through wholesalers third-party online retailers. Our market consists of three major types of customersincluding master warehouse distributors, dealer-wholesalers; and retail consumers.

 

We currently sell our product line through distributors and dealer networks. In the Canadian market, the majority of our business is with warehouse distributors, and select dealer customers. In the US market, our customer base is primarily dealers and wholesalers. Our products are manufactured in China according to our proprietary specifications and design.

 

Our Strategy – Business Plan

 

Worksport Ontario was founded in 2011 to lead innovation and change to existing tonneau cover manufacturers. Tonneau covers have remained much the same in price and design since 2005 with two companies maintaining a majority of the market share. We see the opportunity to lead change in this dynamic market segment with new and innovative manufacturing of high quality and functionality at an attracrive and competitive price point. Worksport has developed multiple products for prominent pick-up trucks available in US and Canada.

 

Worksport’s current market is the United States and Canada. The Company intends to eventually expand to other market opportunities outside of US and Canada. We also intend to generate revenue from both the automotive specialty equipment market as well as OEM production for global vehicle manufacturers. Other than a standard business license, no permits or regulatory approvals are required to distribute Worksport products to clients in any of the areas in which we operate.

 

Our market consists of three major types of customers which include: (i) master warehouse distributors; (ii) dealer and wholesalers; and (iii) end retail consumers. Master warehouse distributors stock and distribute product to their customers, which are usually local dealers and wholesalers. Dealers and wholesalers include online retailers and offline local stores which sell product to businesses and retail consumers in their area. Dealers will purchase most of their product from their local distributor who will deliver to them regularly. Retail consumers are the end users of the product. Worksport currently sells our product line through distributors and dealer networks. In the Canadian market, Worksport does the majority of our business with warehouse distributors and select dealer customers. In the US market, Worksport’s customer base is mostly dealers and wholesalers.

 

Sales are made through calling on dealers, jobbers, and warehouse distributors of truck accessories, who typically manage product sales and promotion through their in-house sales department and maintain a strong working relationship with dealers and wholesalers who purchase our products, either directly or through distributors. To grow our market share, we further entice the retail consumer to purchase our product by way of a strong internet presence which will consist of YouTube videos and commercials, an interactive website, search engine optimization, social media, among other web-based avenues.

 

Worksport is targeting key area dealers, distributors and online retainers primarily in the US to become vendors of Worksport’s innovative light truck tonneau cover lineup. Worksport has developed a database which includes 13,000 US-based truck accessory dealers, distributors and retailers and 4,000 new truck dealers. In Canada, we have a sales lead list of over 3,000 contacts. Worksport is in the process of systemically calling on the leads on this list as a part of our ongoing business development strategies and converting these contacts into customers. As we increase our inventory levels to facilitate new sales, we will target select prospective contacts in an attempt to convert them into vendors of the Worksport product lineup.

 

We believe our Company is currently the only independent (B2B) producer of tonneau covers in the US and in Canada that does not sell directly to customers (B2C), Worksport believes that we can expand our current customer base throughout our markets. Given the unique ability of Worksport to design, patent, and produce our own line of products, prospective vendors will likely be interested in purchasing our products.

 

Worksport intends to further develop its sales and revenue through an online sales and ecommerce strategy concurrent with this offering. We believe increasing sales through online retailers has the potential to add additional revenue and growth to the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, we anticipate larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

Our Products

 

All of our covers are made in a factory in Meizhou, China. Production at the factory can be increased within thirty days to facilitate volumes up to ten times the current output without any adverse affects on quality or craftsmanship. Worksport’s current product lines are as follows:

 

Worksport SC3 (introduced in 2011): This product is currently in production and is being offered and sold to customers.) The Worksport Tri Fold (the “Tri Fold”) is our staple soft folding tonneau cover. The Tri Fold is made with features such as stainless steel hardware, double coated vinyl tarp and all aluminum and plastic coated front clamps. The Tri Fold is made available to our customer base at an average cost savings of 5% over competing products.

 

Worksport SC3Pro (introduced in 2012): This product has been upgraded and redesigned. The Worksport SC3Pro is our second product to market and offers our patented rear Smart Latch system. The Smart Fold is the first innovation in the rear latching system offered on soft folding tonneau covers. The Smart Fold cover comes with all of the same features as the SC3 but with a new rear latch system that allows the cover to be opened by simply pulling a release cable which is a new innovation in the soft tri fold segment of our market.

 

Worksport TC3 (introduced in 2011) model is currently in production and is being sold to customers and has been engineered to be easy to install and operate while being offered at a aggressive cost. The TC3 cover is built using 14 millimeter-thick aluminum panels with a robust honeycomb core, coated in a durable matte-black scratch-resistant powder coating. With robust packaging, the lighter weight TC3also saves time and money with up to 10% more load quantity in a standard 40’ HC container, maximizing value and product profitability.

 

Future Products

 

Worksport SC4(estimated launch: Q1 2021) will be the first vinyl wrapped tonneau cover to fold in four sections. This cover will also allow its users full bed access by being foldable upwards towards the rear window of the truck. We chose to make the world’s first soft quad folding cover so this cover is more compact when standing parallel to the back window of a truck, thus eliminating wind resistance and rear window obstruction.

 

Worksport’s TC4 (estimated launch: Q1 2021) model is currently in design stages. The design will mimic that of the SC4, in that it will fold with four sections, and rotate towards the rear window; allowing full bed access. The cover will have three locking points; with two locking points being cable actuated. The cover will be made using FRP (fiberglass reinforced polymer) panels with a matte black silicate surface, for a durable and desirable matt-black finish.

 

Worksport’s TC4Pro (estimated launch: Q1 2021) model is also currently in development. It will have mirror the TC4, however, it will be offered with all cable-actuated locking mechanisms, for easier operation. Versions of the model will also be offered with expandable cargo division and storage solutions.

 

The TerraVis (estimated launch: Q3 2021) by Worksport is in early stage developments. This cover will be based on the TC4 framework, with functional improvements that will allow the cover to depend within the cargo bed of the truck, and rotate upwards towards the back window; to allow the user two methods to gain full bed access. This cover is designed with integrated track systems within the bed of the truck, as well as outside along the outer edge of the cover. These tracks can be used for a myriad of add-on options that will later be designed by Worksport such as: chrome trim, tie downs, cargo cleats, textile storage bags, seating, cargo racks, sliding systems…etc.

 

The TerraVis system will use mono-crystalline high efficiency solar panels, instead of FRP or Aluminum. The covers solar system will generate an estimated 1000-watts of low voltage DC current. The power will them be stored in an integrated, scalable Lithium Iron Phosphate (pr Lithium Ion) battery bank, that can expand to over 2 kilowatts of energy storage. The energy can be stored and inverted to two 2000-watt 110V AC outlets or used to re-charge vehicles onboard battery systems as “emergency power”. You can find more information on the TerraVis system at www.goterravis.com

 

Competitive Conditions

 

For many years, consumers have had very limited product offerings available to them from tonneau cover manufacturers. The leading manufacturers in Canadian and US market have had very few model developments. The tonneau cover market can be divided into four main styles of covers including, Soft Folding & Roll-up covers (Vinyl covers), Hard Folding & Standing Covers (Aluminum and FRP), Solid one piece caps and lids (Plastic & Fiberglass), Retractable Covers (Plastic & Aluminum).

 

Our market is dominated by two large entities Truck Accessories Group (TAG) and Truck Hero account for the majority of the market. that have also acquired other independent manufacturers and brands. These two large entities pose a competitive risk to the Company but also a concentration risk to the vendors’ they sell to. Worksport is in an enviable market position by being independent, aggressively priced, innovative, and operationally sound. Worksport has been able to grow revenues with minimal sales efforts with our existing customers and developed close working relationships with our larger clients maintaining close and directly contact.

 

The area of biggest growth in the tonneau cover market is the segment of aggressively-priced hard folding tonneau covers. Currently, the market distribution is shared by three primary participants, with LKQ/Keystone considered as the market leader.

Private Label Sales

 

Worksport launched our Private Label service in late 2016. With our portfolio of patents and designs, other large brands in our space has asked us to manufacture product for them, under their own brand (the “Private Label”). The barrier to entry in automotive parts market is very high due to engineering and patent barriers that discourage some competitors to enter into the automotive parts sector. Worksport has been able to successfully navigate and overcome the many barriers to entry, making Worksport among a small number of independent producers of truck bed covers in US and Canada.

 

Our private label service provides other brands and companies to gain access to the growing tonneau cover market without concern for any of the barriers to entry (patents, design, supply chain etc.). As Worksport develops and patents new and innovative truck bed covers and systems, a myriad of distribution and manufacturing brands can rely on our infrastructure to access the market, while Worksport earns revenues and profits from our innovations and infrastructure.

 

We are developing a dealer direct “white glove” Private Label service that we believe will be innovative and potentially disruptive in our market. In the “online marketplace”, customers are switching from brick and mortar to online direct purchases. This has left the future of brick and mortar retail stores in question. In the US alone, we estimate there are over 17,000 brick and mortar dealers and distributors of automotive accessories. Through our own market research, we believe that the truck owners generally prefer to see the tonneau cover before purchasing it. As it is a major purchase for truck owners, retail consumers are seeking education at the brick and mortar stores and conducting online searches and purchases for a competitively priced item.

 

Worksport plans to change this trend by stocking our most popular and well-received items (Tri Fold, Smart Fold, Quas Fold and Forte) in one of two US warehouses and offering these products, just in time, to the dealers that participate in our program in the US as “their own brand” or Private Label which we will plan, organize and manage internally. We will create and own the right to each brand from each dealer that participates in the program. Each dealer can order our product and we can brand that product as their own as it leaves our warehouse to their show room. If successful, this will secure Worksport as a supplier to each dealer that participates in our program in the US. This unique program will ensure that the dealer can make purchases directly from Worksport if they choose to participate in our program.

Market:

 

 

The 2019 SEMA reports continued growth in the automotive aftermarket over 2019 totaling 46.2 Billion dollar market, representing a 3.6% increase from 2018. Pickup upgrades are the largest sector of the specialty-equipment industry, accounting for 31% of 2019 retail sales. Pickup upgrades are the largest sector of the specialty-equipment industry, accounting for 31% of 2019 retail sales.

 

The 2018 SEMA Report shows the results of the previous year and indicates that 2017 was another good year for the specialty-equipment industry. The overall size of the market grew to $42.92 billion. The 4% growth continues a multiple-year trend. SEMA projects that enter the market will continue to grow through the end of 2018 and bring retail sales close to $45 billion.

 

This current growth trend is fueled by strong overall economic performance, including an ongoing decline in unemployment and growth in consumer spending. A strong economy paired with rising consumer confidence means that more people are willing to spend money on discretionary items, such as specialty automotive parts. While new vehicle sales have leveled off, they still remain at near-record highs—close to 17 million per year. Recently announced tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, etc. and other policy changes could affect the economy and the industry in 2018, but to this point, demand has been strong.

 

Pickup upgrades are the largest sector of the specialty-equipment industry, accounting for 27% of total retail dollars (about $12.03 Billion). In the USA alone there are 158.6 Million registered Light Trucks. Despite the growth of CUVs overall, full-size pickups remain the most common vehicle subtype on the road today. This is likely driven by the continued popularity of domestic half-ton pickups (Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500) throughout the United States, especially in the South. While there is increasing interest in electrification by automakers, electric vehicles comprise less than 1% of light vehicles on the road. Hybrid cars are the only alternative power vehicles to have a notable share of registrations. It will be a long time before they change the face of the U.S. light vehicle fleet.

 

Top Registered Models

 

Ford F-150     10.2 M
Chevrolet Silverado 1500     7.1 M

Of the roughly 56 million pickups in the United States today, nearly 60% of them are either GM Full-Size or Ford F-Series and account for almost 12% of all vehicles on the road. The Ram Pickup also boasts a high number of trucks on the road that brings it in just below the top two in customization potential.

Operations in China

 

Legal Right to Conduct Operations in China

 

Presently, other than sales operations in US and Canada, the remaining operations are conducted only in China.Worksport requires a customs bond in the US to import our products. We obtain our customs bond through our customs agent, who imports and clears the product upon entry into the US or Canada. Other than the importer’s customs bond, Worksport requires no other permits or licenses to import our product that is manufactured in China. No regulatory approvals are required. Customs bonds and importer account numbers (CBP in US and CBSA in Canada) are not formal licenses.

 

Worksport is a paying member of SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association). The association keeps automotive manufacturers apprised of all new regulations, license requirements, and mandates in the automotive industry across US and Canada. Worksport management constantly works with our customs brokers, logistics providers, corporate legal counsel (patent, trademark, general business, and securities) to ensure compliance with any and all permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals required to operate.

 

We are not aware of any restrictions or conditions that can be imposed, by the government of China, to hinder or affect our ability to manufacture and import our product from China.

 

Manufacturing in China

 

Steven Rossi, our CEO, is experienced with doing business in China. and has developed skills to conduct business in China and has been working with overseas factories, including Chinese factories, for the past nine years. Furthermore, Mr. Rossi’s involvement with US factories that work closely with Chinese factories has improved his knowledge of conducting business with Chinese counterparts. Mr. Rossi has been involved in successfully launching seven new products. Specifically, he has contributed to revising products, negotiating prices for each product, on-boarding a total of four factories, as well as working with the patent and trademark legal team to include China as a jurisdiction for our pending trademark and patent applications. while working with various US and Canadian based agents and factory representatives. These agents inform management of the laws and requirements of doing business with factories in China, the local culture, and differences in banking and exchange rates.

 

As a manufacturing member of SEMA, we have access to industry resources made available through SEMA which keeps Mr. Rossi informed of the laws and requirements of China, role of the government in China, local business culture in China, as well as any differences in banking systems and controls between Canada and China.

 

Worksport products are manufactured in China according to our specifications and design, using our schematics and blueprints. All of our covers are made in a factory in Meizhou, China. Production at both factories can be increased to facilitate volumes up to ten times the current output.

 

Currently, we rely on third party manufacturers to produce our products in China. However, we now have our own molds and patents, and therefore, are not reliant solely on Chinese manufacturers. Worksport can transfer their tooling (molds and dies) to a new factory if and when needed with little cost or delay impact on production.

 

Worksport designs, patents, and owns schematics and blueprints used to manufacture products. Contracting factories to manufacture the product is easier to oversee and change. If Worksport becomes reliant on the factories R&D, product, and patents, this would pose risks and challenges relating to supply concentration and a going concern that the company could lose our supply should the relationship change between the company and our factory. As at the date of this prospectus, the additional “back-up” factory is not producing or manufacturing product for Worksport. However, in Q1 2021, the back-up factory may commence production of some of Worksport’s current and yet to be released product. Note that “launching” a product is presenting the product as a concept to the B2B market, either via direct solicitation’ (phone calls with video or online presentations about the product) or in a trade-show setting. A Releasing a product is when that formally presented product is fully tested, engineered, and all tooling is completed and the product is ready for mass production and sale.

Our model factories are required to handle the sourcing of individual components. The factories offer the Corporation an “all inclusive” price that does not change. Currently, we rely on third party manufacturers to produce our products in China. However, we now have our own molds, blueprints, and patents, and therefore, are not reliant solely on Chinese manufacturers. Worksport can transfer their tooling (molds and dies) to a new factory if and when needed with little cost or delay impact on production. Should a contract between the us and the manufacturer terminate, we would supply the new manufacturer with our schematics and blueprints, bills of materials, procedure sheets, as well as authorized access to our tools, dies and molds. The new manufacturer would then use this data to begin production, which is only authorized after one physical pre-production sample of each model is produced and inspected by Worksport and our engineers. The previous manufacturer would destroy the mold it was using as per our agreements with our current manufacturer.

 

MAP (Minimum Advertised Price)

 

To maintain a competitive position in the market, we have implemented and enforced a strict MAP. MAP pricing is enforceable in the US, and it mitigates price/value erosion of our product. This is the lowest price at which the customer can sell our product. In Canada, Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) is used. However, MSRP is only a suggestion and there are no enforceable measures in the Canadian market to protect against price erosion arising from competing dealers. MAP typically refers to the definite retail pricing of each of our products and differs between the Canadian and the US markets. Our products’ MAP pricing is set to be competitive in relation to competing products, while allowing our distributors, dealers and retailers to generate respectable margins of profit. Moreover, if our MAP pricing is violated by a product being advertised or sold above or below the then current MAP price, we take necessary steps with our customer(s) to remediate pricing to continue and maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. However, there are no guarantees that MAP pricing and other various forms of pricing and product control measures can be effectively monitored and enforced, especially as the Corporation’s market saturation grows.

 

Components

 

Our model factories are required to handle the sourcing of individual components. The factories offer the Corporation an “all inclusive” price that does not change.

 

Environmental Protection

 

We are committed to high environmental standards and carries out our activities and operations in compliance with all relevant and applicable environmental regulations and best industry practices. Costs of environmental regulatory compliance are not expected to be significant.

 

Employees, Specialized Skill and Knowledge

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, we have one employee. Our operations are managed by our directors and officers. Our directors and officers possess a wide range of professional skills that are relevant to pursuing and executing our business strategy. These skills include strong technical skills, expertise in planning and financial controls, ability to execute on business development opportunities, capital markets expertise and entrepreneurial experiences which will allow us to effectively identify, evaluate and execute on value-added initiatives.

Risks Related to Our Business:

 

We have limited operating history, our financial position is not robust, and we lack profitable operations to date.

 

Worksport has incurred net losses since inception and may continue to incur net losses while it builds its business and as such it may not achieve or maintain profitability. The Company’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects, and there is no assurance that the business of the Company will grow or that it will become profitable.

 

Worksport has been in existence since 2011, which is relatively short compared to our competitors. While the Company has experienced recent substantial growth in our revenues, there is no assurance that our revenues will continue to experience such a trend line, nor even that our revenues will continue to grow. Because of our limited operating history it is difficult to extrapolate any meaningful projections about the Company’s future.

 

Our competitors are significantly better funded than we are. This could prove detrimental in that we may not have the funds with which to procure a sufficient supply of product to meet demand at some point. Our competitors could engage in predatory pricing or other tactics in an attempt to eliminate our market share. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and may continue to incur net losses while it builds its business, and as such it may not achieve or maintain profitability.

 

We have historically incurred significant losses and our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $414,607 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $10,768,906. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

Our independent public accountants have provided their report with a going concern opinion.

 

The Company’s financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $344,451 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $11,447,598. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

Additionally, because of the going concern, investors in this Offering may lose part or all of their investment if the Company is unable to continue operations. 

 

Even if this Offering is successful, we will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.

 

The proceeds from this Offering, excluding potential proceeds from the sale of Warrant Shares upon exercise of all the Warrants, will be up to $4,000,000 before deducting offering expenses and commissions payable by us. We expect that if the maximum sale of Units and Warrant Shares is achieved, the net proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next twenty-four months. However, we may not achieve the maximum sale of Units and Warrant Shares, and/or our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that we have accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.

 

Our future growth may be limited.

 

The Company’s ability to achieve its expansion objectives and to manage its growth effectively depends upon a variety of factors, including the Company’s ability to internally develop products, to attract and retain skilled employees, to successfully position and market its products, to protect its existing intellectual property, to capitalize on the potential opportunities it is pursuing with third parties, and sufficient funding. To accommodate growth and compete effectively, the Company will need working capital to maintain adequate inventory levels, develop additional procedures and controls and increase, train, motivate and manage its work force. There is no assurance that the Company’s personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its potential future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will generate revenues from its prospective sales partners and be able to capitalize on additional third party manufacturers.

 

We rely on third parties for our production which may hinder our ability to grow.

 

Suppliers: The Company purchases all of its inventory from one supplier source in Asia. The Company has no written agreement with this supplier. The Company carries significant strategic inventories of these materials to reduce the risk associated with this concentration of suppliers. Strategic inventories are managed based on demand. To date, the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of the materials used in the production of its products in a timely manner from existing sources. The loss of this key supplier or a delay in shipments could have an adverse effect on its business.

We are reliant on a small number of customers for the majority of our sales.

 

The following table includes the percentage of the Company’s sales to significant customers for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as well as the balance included in revenue and accounts receivable for each significant customer as at June 30, 2020 and 2019. A customer is considered to be significant if they account for greater than 10% of the Company’s annual sales.

 

    2020     2019  
    $     %     $     %  
Customer A     56,114       55.7       46,099       3.9 %
Customer B     11,355       11.3       23,668       2 %
Customer C     -       -       1,014,850       86 %

 

The loss of any of these key customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

The following table includes the percentage of the Company’s sales to significant customers for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. A customer is considered to be significant if they account for greater than 10% of the Company’s annual sales:

 

    2019     2018  
Customer A     89 %     37.8 %
Customer B     - %     31.2 %
Customer C     - %     19.8 %
Customer D     - %     10.4 %
      89 %     99.2 %

 

The loss of any of these key customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. At December 31, 2019, $1,912,401 was included in revenue from Company A, representing 89% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended. With Customer A representing 89% of the revenue, the loss of the customer would have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue.

 

In 2018, Customer A represented 37.8% or $182,738 of total sales.

 

There are risks associated with outsourced production that may result in decrease in our profit.

 

Worksport products are manufactured to our specifications and design in China. All of our soft (vinyl) covers are made in a factory in Meizhou, China. The possibility of delivery delays, product defects and other production-side risks stemming from outsourcers cannot be eliminated. In particular, inadequate production capacity among outsourced manufacturers could result in the Company being unable to supply enough product amid periods of high product demand, the opportunity costs of which could be substantial.

 

There are risks associated with outsourced production in China and their laws which may have a material adverse effect on our financial stability.

 

Changes in Chinese laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation or restrictions are matters over which the Company has no control. While the current leadership, (and the Chinese government), have been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization, there is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

 

For example, the Chinese government has enacted some laws and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, their experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited and, in turn, our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If our business ventures with Chinese manufacturers were unsuccessful, or other adverse circumstances arise from these transactions, we face the risk that the parties to these ventures may seek ways to terminate the transactions regardless of any purchasing contracts or agreements we may have entered into. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination.

 

Any rights we may have to specific performance, or to seek an injunction under Chinese law, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and without a means of recourse by virtue of the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, in such guises as currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises.

 

In that context, we may have to evaluate the feasibility of acquiring alternative or fallback manufacturing capabilities to support the production of our existing and future tonneau cover products. Such development could adversely affect our cost structure inasmuch as we would be required to support sales at an acceptable cost—and might have relatively limited time to so adapt. We have not manufactured these products in the past—and are not expecting to do so in the foreseeable future. That is because developing these technological capabilities and building or purchasing a facility will increase our expenses with no guarantee that we will be able to recover our investment in our manufacturing capabilities.

 

We engage in cross border sales transactions which present tax risks among other obstacles.

 

Cross border sales transactions carry a risk of changes in import tax and/or duties related to the import and export of our product, which can result in pricing changes, which will affect revenues and earnings. Cross border sales transactions carry other risks including, but not limited to, changing regulations, wait times, customs inspection and lost or damaged product

We will need additional financing in order to grow our business.

 

From time to time, in order to expand operations to meet customer demand, the Company will need to incur additional capital expenditures. These capital expenditures are intended to be funded from third party sources, including the incurring of debt and/or the sale of additional equity securities. In addition to requiring additional financing to fund capital expenditures, the Company may require additional financing to fund working capital, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative expenditures and operating losses. The incurrence of debt creates additional financial leverage and therefore an increase in the financial risk of the Company’s operations. The sale of additional equity securities will be dilutive to the interests of current equity holders. In addition, there can be no assurance that such additional financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company or that it will be available on acceptable commercial terms. Any inability to secure such additional financing on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company.

 

We rely on key personnel.

 

The Company’s success also will depend in large part on the continued service of its key operational and management personnel, including executive staff, research and development, engineering, marketing and sales staff. Most specifically, this includes its President/CEO Steven Rossi who oversees new product development (in lieu of a research and development department) as well as implementation of new products developed, key customer acquisition and retention, overall management and future growth. The Company faces intense competition from its competitors, customers and other companies throughout the industry. Any failure on the Company’s part to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified professionals could impair the business of the Company.

 

We depend on intellectual property rights that may be infringed upon or infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.

 

The Company’s success depends to a significant degree upon its ability to develop, maintain and protect proprietary products and technologies. The Company has 3 Granted Patents, 3 patent applications in Canada and USA, as of 2019. As at the date of filing of this Report, Worksport also has submitted a US, Canada and China Trademark application for “WORKSPORT” on September 17, 2017. However, patents provide only limited protection of the Company’s intellectual property. The assertion of patent protection involves complex legal and factual determinations and is therefore uncertain and potentially expensive. The Company cannot provide assurance that patents will be granted with respect to its pending patent application, that the scope of any patents it might obtain will be sufficiently broad to offer meaningful protection, or that it will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable. In fact, any patents which might issue from the Company’s two pending provisional patent applications with the USPTO could be successfully challenged, invalidated or circumvented. This could result in the Company’s pending patent rights failing to create an effective competitive barrier. Losing a significant patent or failing to get a patent issued from a pending patent application the Company considers significant, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

We may need to defend ourselves against patent or trademark infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and cause us to incur substantial costs.

 

Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors, may own or obtain patents, trademarks or other proprietary rights that would prevent or limit our ability to make, use, develop or sell our vehicles or components, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. We may receive inquiries from patent or trademark owners inquiring whether we infringe their proprietary rights. Companies owning patents or other intellectual property rights relating to battery packs, electric motors, fuel cells or electronic power management systems may allege infringement of such rights.

 

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties.

 

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage, and a decrease in our revenue which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we will rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets (including know-how), employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, copyright, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights to establish and protect our rights in our technology. Patent, trademark, and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. Some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Further, policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions may be difficult. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States.

 

  -17-  

 

 

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

 

In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, outsource manufacturers and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

 

We are subject to foreign currency risk which may adversely affect our net profit.

 

The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk as it has two manufacturing facilities in China, markets extensively in both Canadian and U.S. markets, most of the Company’s employees reside in Canada and, to date, the Company has raised funds in Canadian Dollars. Meanwhile, the Company reports results of operations in U.S. Dollars (USD or US$). Since our Canadian customers pay in Canadian Dollar, the Company is subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in the USD relative to the Canadian Dollar. While having our products manufactured in China, our manufacturers are paid in USD to better avoid the relatively greater fluctuation of the Chinese Yuan (RMB). Any large fluctuations in the exchange between the RMB and USD may cause product costs to increase, therefore affecting revenues and profits, potentially adversely.

 

We may not be successful in our potential business combinations.

 

The Company may, in the future, pursue acquisitions of other complementary businesses and technology licensing arrangements. We have been approached by competitors to license one or more of our tonneau cover products. The Company may also pursue strategic alliances and joint ventures that leverage its core products and industry experience to expand its product offerings and geographic presence. The Company has limited experience with respect to acquiring other companies and limited experience with respect to forming collaborations, strategic alliances and joint ventures.

 

If the Company were to make any acquisitions, it may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into its existing business and could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions the Company makes, could also result in large and immediate write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm the Company’s operating results. Integrating an acquired company also may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of the Company’s existing business.

 

We have competition for our market share which could harm our sales.

 

We participate in the automotive aftermarket equipment industry which is highly competitive for a relatively limited customer base. Companies that compete in this market are Truck Hero Group, Tonno Pro and Rugged Liner.

 

In addition, some of our competitors sell their products at prices lower than ours and we compete primarily on the basis of product quality, features, value, service, and customer relationships. Our competitive success also depends on our ability to maintain a strong brand and the belief that customers will need our products and services to meet their growth requirements. The competition that we face in our market — which varies depending on the particular business segment, product lines and customers — may prevent us from achieving sales, product pricing and income goals, which could affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our current competitors are significantly better funded and have a longer operating history than us.

 

We may not have sufficient product liability insurance to cover potential damages.

 

The existence of any defects, errors or failures in our products or the misuse of our products could also lead to product liability claims or lawsuits against us. While we paid insurance of $9,724 for the year ended December 31, 2019, we have no assurance this insurance will be adequate to protect us from all material judgments and expenses related to potential future claims or that these levels of insurance will be available at economical prices, if at all. To that extent, product liability insurance is conditional and up for further investigation. A successful product liability claim could result in substantial cost to us. Even if we are fully insured as it relates to a claim, a claim could nevertheless diminish our brand and divert management’s attention and resources, which could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. (See also the “Product Quality” discussion below and the associated recall insurance.)

 

We may produce products of inferior quality which would cause us to lose customers.

 

Although the Company makes an effort to ensure the quality of our light truck tonneau cover products, they could from time to time contain defects, anomalies or malfunctions that are undetectable at the time of shipment. These defects, anomalies or malfunctions could be discovered after the Company’s products are shipped to customers, resulting in the return or exchange of the Company’s products, claims for compensatory damages or discontinuation of the use of the Company’s products, which could negatively impact the profits and operating results of the Company. The Company does not presently have product recall, (or similar function), insurance, namely, (in contrast to product liability), insurance that protects a company against broad-scale product manufacturing defects, engineering defects and the costs related to a broad product recall such as shipping, replacement or repairs. Even if in place, there is no guarantee that the full costs of any reimbursements or claims, law suits or litigation would be covered by such insurance. (See also the “Product Liability Insurance” discussion above.)

 

  -18-  

 

 

We may experience patent enforcement and infringement which could force us to spend on legal fees.

 

The automotive aftermarket has been characterized by significant litigation and other proceedings regarding patents, patent applications and other intellectual property rights. The situations in which we may become parties to such litigation or proceedings may include:

 

1. litigation or other proceedings we may initiate against third parties to enforce our patent rights or other intellectual property rights;

 

2. litigation or other proceedings we or our licensee(s) may initiate against third parties seeking to invalidate the patents held by such third parties or to obtain a judgment that our products do not infringe such third parties’ patents; and

 

3. litigation or other proceedings, third parties may initiate against us to seek to invalidate our patents.

 

If third parties initiate litigation claiming that our products infringe their patent or other intellectual property rights, we will need to defend against such proceedings.

 

The costs of resolving any patent litigation or other intellectual property proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Many of our potential competitors will be able to sustain the cost of such litigation and proceedings more effectively than we can because of their substantially greater resources. In some instances competitors may proceed with litigation or other proceedings pertaining to infringement of their intellectual property as a means to hinder or devaluate the target defendant company, with no intention of the matter being resolved in their favor. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other intellectual property proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Patent litigation and other intellectual property proceedings may also consume significant management time and costs. Substantial additional costs may be evident in the event that litigation or other proceedings were initiated against the Company because Worksport would have to seek legal defense or counsel in the province (Canada) or state (U.S.) where the litigation or legal proceedings were filed.

 

Global economic conditions, such as COVID-19, may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.

 

Our overall performance depends, in part, on worldwide economic conditions which historically is cyclical in character. Key international economies continue to be impacted by a recession, characterized by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, going concern threats to financial institutions, major multinational companies and medium and small businesses, poor liquidity, declining asset values, reduced corporate profitability, extreme volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets and bankruptcies. By way of example, the automotive aftermarket, specifically fuel saving add-ons such as light-truck tonneau covers, is typically not as affected by economic slow-down or recession as other industries or market segments. In markets where our sales occur and go into recession, these conditions affect the rate of spending and could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our products, and delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, all of which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, in a weakened economy, companies that have competing products may reduce prices which could also reduce our average selling prices and harm our operating results.

 

The Company faces intense competition from new products and may lose customers to our competition.

 

The Company’s tonneau cover products face intense competition from its competitors. This competition may increase as new products enter the market, especially those made overseas and marketed and sold directly into the North American market by overseas manufactures. In such an event, the competitors’ products may be of similar or better quality compared to the Company’s products. Alternatively, in the case of generic competition, they may be of equal or better quality and are sold at substantially lower prices than the Company’s products. At times, competitors may also release a generic or re-branded version of a current and successful product at a substantially reduced price in efforts to increase revenues or market share. As a result, if the Company fails to maintain its competitive position, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, cash flow, results of operations, financial position and prospects.

 

The sale of tonneau cover, like many other non-essential consumer products, has been hampered by COVID-19.

 

Due to the impact of COVID-19 around the world, the Company’s sales decreased significantly for the first and second quarter of 2020 as governments around the world entered a lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Increased current unemployment and loss of income could cause our customers to spend their money elsewhere, on more essential products.

 

Any further disruptions from an uptick in new infections related to COVID-19 may materially harm out business prospects.

 

Further upticks in infection, and the related enforcement of governmental restrictions would materially hinder our ability to grow, as it would make it could interrupt our supply chain, as well as the financial condition of our intended customer base.

 

The pick-up truck industry may take longer to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Increased current unemployment and loss of income, as well as any further disruptions from an uptick in new infections related to COVID-19 may materially harm out business prospects. As COVID-19 confirmed cases increase, the Company will have difficulty acquiring new customers, sales and growth. The loss of a significant customer during late 2019 had contributed to the Company’s significant decrease in sales in 2020. Due to this significant loss the Company’s sales and expenses decreased before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. During this time management had been actively seeking new customers. Expenses continued to remain low into the first and second quarter of 2020 as the pandemic impacted the Company’s ability to operate, acquire sales and new customer.

Risks Associated with Manufacturing in China

 

Worksport has a total of two factories that are producing for Worksport. Worksport does not require a specific focus on contracted manufacturing agreements since most risks are mitigated in the following ways:

 

Copy-cat risks: As discussed above, if a relationship with our manufacturers is terminated, the previous manufacturer would destroy the mold it was using as per our agreements with our current manufacturer. Worksport had new tooling produced with each item having specific logos and taxonomy on each tool that labels that item as OEM for Worksport, which prevents that item from being copied or used/stolen.

 

Downgraded factory relationship risks: Worksport switches manufacturing to any other assembly factory readily available in China.

 

Overbooking risks: Worksport on-boards over-flow factory to produce over-flow product. Factories in China can scale quickly. Worksport’s product does not require skilled trades or labor.

 

Worksport is always working on ways to mitigate risk relating to overseas or foreign manufacturing. Medium term plans are in place to reduce or eliminate the risks for overseas manufacturing. None of the factories’ management, ownership, or affiliates are associated with Worksport our management, directors, or any other roles.

 

We will continually explore possibilities to manufacture our product within North America (Mexico, USA, Canada). As we develop, we will work towards ultimately attaining our goal of having our product manufactured within North America. To do so, we would require new tooling and equipment and facilities.

 

Risks Related to Our Stockholders and Purchasing Units

 

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures.

 

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a Code of Ethics. Our Board of Directors expects to adopt a Code of Ethics at its next Board meeting. The Company has not adopted exchange-mandated corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

 

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal control over financial reporting.

 

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), the SEC has adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in its annual reports. While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by SOX 404, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. At present, there is no precedent available with which to measure compliance adequately. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could suffer.

 

We have a large number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.

 

We have approximately 250,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which our management may issue without further stockholder approval, thereby causing dilution of your holdings of our common stock. Our management will continue to have broad discretion to issue shares of our common stock in a range of transactions, including capital-raising transactions, mergers, acquisitions and other transactions, without obtaining stockholder approval, unless stockholder approval is required. If our management determines to issue shares of our common stock from the large pool of authorized but unissued shares for any purpose in the future, your ownership position would be diluted without your further ability to vote on that transaction.

 

Shares of our common stock may continue to be subject to illiquidity because our shares may continue to be thinly traded and may never become eligible for trading on a national securities exchange.

 

While we may at some point be able to meet the requirements necessary for our common stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. Our shares are currently only eligible for quotation on the OTCQB, which is not an exchange. Initial listing on a national securities exchange is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements, and could also be affected by the general skepticism of such markets concerning companies that are the result of mergers with inactive publicly-held companies. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on public trading markets. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell your shares, any of which could result in you losing some or all of your investments.

 

  -20-  

 

 

If the price of the shares of our common stock falls, we may lose eligibility for quotation on the OTCQB, which could result in investors losing their investment and would prohibit the Company from further accessing the equity line of credit.

 

Our shares are currently only eligible for quotation on the OTCQB, which is not an exchange. Since May 1, 2014, there has been continuing eligibility requirements for OTCQB, whereby the price of our common stock can’t fall below $0.01 for thirty consecutive days. If we are unable to satisfy this continuing eligibility requirement of the OTCQB, the quotation of our common stock could be moved to the OTC Pink Sheets. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell your shares, any of which could result in you losing some or all of your investments. More importantly, however, this would prohibit the Company from having further access to the equity line of credit, as quotation on the OTC Pink Sheets is insufficient for any such equity lines of credit.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the sale of substantial amounts of our Common Stock could adversely impact its price.

 

The market valuation of our business may fluctuate due to factors beyond our control and the value of your investment may fluctuate correspondingly.

 

The market valuation of emerging growth companies, such as us, frequently fluctuate due to factors unrelated to the past or present operating performance of such companies. Our market valuation may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

  i. changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance, although there are currently no analysts covering our stock;
     
  ii. fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes, particularly among securities of emerging growth companies;
     
  iii. changes in market valuations of similar companies;
     
  iv. announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new technologies, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
     
  v. variations in our quarterly operating results;
     
  vi. fluctuations in related commodities prices; and
     
  vii. additions or departures of key personnel.

 

As a result, the value of your investment in us may fluctuate.

 

We have never paid dividends on our common stock.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors should not look to dividends as a source of income.

 

In the interest of reinvesting initial profits back into our business, we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any economic return will initially be derived, if at all, from appreciation in the fair market value of our stock, and not as a result of dividend payments.

 

We may incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming.

If we don’t raise sufficient proceeds in this offering or generate sufficient revenue, our working capital goal may not be met.

Note: After reviewing the portion of the offering allocated to the payment of offering expenses, and to the immediate payment to management and promoters of any fees, reimbursements, past salaries or similar payments, a potential investor should consider whether the remaining portion of his investment, which would be that part available for future development of the Company’s business and operations, would be adequate.

 

No assets are planned to be acquired from officers, directors, employees or principal stockholders of the Company or their associates.

 

The Company plans to build up its executive team, support staff and skilled labor with its Salaries & Operating budget.

 

The Company has sustained operating losses since inception, and it has been dependent upon limited private lending to provide enough working capital in order to finance its operations. Management believes that it can continue to raise debt and equity financing to support its operations. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is dependent upon developing additional sources of capital and/or achieving profitable operations.

 

The proceeds from this offering would satisfy the Company’s cash requirements for the next 12 months, if realized in full. There is no assurance that we will sell all of the Units, if at all.

 

We intend to raise additional capital through equity and debt financing as needed, though there cannot be any assurance that such funds will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the status of our product sales and marketing efforts, the amount of proceeds received from the exercise of the Warrants, and the amount of cash generated through our existing strategic collaborations and any additional strategic collaborations into which we may enter.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The Company determined the offering price based on the current trading price of the Company’s common stock on OTCQB.

 

DILUTION

  -24-  

 

 

On June 30, 2020 there were an aggregate of 52,729,916 shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020, was ($1,284,109) or ($0.02) per outstanding share of our Common Stock, based on 52,729,916 outstanding shares of Common Stock at June 30, 2019.

If the maximum 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock in this Offering at the public offering price of $0.10 per share, after deducting approximately $210,000 in maximum sales commissions and other offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value would have been approximately $2,505,891 ($0.03 per share) as at June 30, 2020. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.05 per share to our existing stockholders at the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately ($0.07) per share to new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this Offering at a price of $0.10 per share.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after our estimated maximum offering expenses and sales commission of $50,000):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with financial statements of WKSP for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the notes thereto. Additional information relating to WKSP is available at www.franchiseholdingsinternational.com

These forward-looking statements are not facts, promises, or guarantees; rather, they reflect current expectations regarding future results or events.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

 

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. The virus has since spread to over 150 countries and including Canada and United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. In both Canada and United Sates most states/provinces and cities have reacted by instituting lockdown orders, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it.

 

As a result of the lockdown orders enacted in the United States, Canada and China the Company expects a disruption to its manufacturing with significant reduction to sales presented in these condensed interim financial statements. As of the date of this financial statement, lockdown orders have been relaxed in parts of the United States, Canada and China, but due to low consumer confidence and disruption to manufacturing the Company expects sales to remain low.

 

The extent to which the pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this report, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

For the six-months ended June 30, 2020, revenue generated from the entire line of Worksport products was $107,129, compared to $1,088,974 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019. The corresponding decrease in revenues of $981,845 in revenues for the six-months ended June 20, 2020 is mainly attributable to the effects of COVID-19 to our market. For the period ending March 31, 2020, our factories in China were closed due to lockdowns. This affected supply of the Worksport product. Subsequently, the effects of COVID-19 in our primary market of USA and Canada resulted in customer closures and general slowing of our marketplace. Our products are not considered essential and, therefore, demand was hindered in addition to the majority of our customers having to temporarily close their businesses.

 

  -27-  

 

 

For the six-months ended June 30, 2020, revenue generated in Canada was $11,815 compared to $24,894 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of 53%. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenue generated in Canada was $546 compared to $(628) for the same period in 2019, an increase of 187%. The rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar during the first six months of fiscal 2020 fluctuated due to COVID-19; the Canadian Dollar decreasing in value compare to United States Dollar on average by $0.1. As a result, Canadian Dollars sales during the first six-months ended June 30, 2020 will be on average lower compared to 2019 when converted to United States Dollar for financial statement reporting purposes. For the six-months ended June 30, 2020, gross revenue generated in the United States was $95,314 compared to $1,064,080 for the same period in 2019. This represents a year-over-year decrease in US-sourced revenue of approximately 91%. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, gross revenue generated in the United States was $65,556 compared to $517,324 for the same period in 2019, an decrease of 87%. The decrease in revenue generated in Canada and United States can be attributed to the lockdown and stay-at-home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Currently, Worksport works closely with one major distributor in Canada, along with its own contracted distribution and inventory facility in Breinigsville, PA and Depew, NY. This does not include multiple independent online retailers.

 

Although Worksport currently supports a total of 10 dealers and distributors, Worksport believes the trend of increasing sales through online retailers will continue to outpace the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, reputable online retailer’s customers tend to provide larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales decreased for the first six months of fiscal 2020, when compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019, by 89% from $804,634 to $85,894. The decrease was primarily due to significantly lower demand as a result of COVID-19. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 80% and 74% for six-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $58,883 compared to $371,686 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. In relation to our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 89% and 72% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Within cost of sales, freight costs accounted for 23% of cost of sales during the six-months ended June 30, 2020, whereas in 2019, it accounted for 4% of cost of sales. The increase in the percentage of cost of sales is due to increased shipping expenses due increase demand of international delivery due to COVID-19.

 

Worksport provides its distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United States or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts are also offered to certain higher volume customers.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin percentage for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 20% and 26% respectively. For the three month ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 gross margin percentage were 11% and 28% respectively. The decrease in gross margin reflects the affect COVID-19 had impacted the Company’s freight costs as stated above increasing from 4% to 23%.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 revenue generated in the United States was $1,860,563 compared to $416,331 for the same period in 2018. This represents an increase in US- source revenue of approximately 347% year-over-year. This increase in the US is primarily attributable the Company’s ability and success to re-enter the US market as of mid-2018, after the allowance of use of the Worksport trademark.

Sales from online retailers of the Worksport products increased from $151,285 in 2018 to $174,793 in 2019, an increase of 16%. Online retailers accounted for 8% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 32% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Distributor sales stayed consistent for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 with $64,610 and $64,164 respectively. Private label sales in 2018 were $265,969 and accounted for 56% of total sales. For the year ended December 31, 2019 private label sales were $1,912,401 an increase of 619% or $1,646,432. Worksport expects to continue to grow it’s fields of business as it develops unique and non-competing products to offer to other prospective clients in the US and Canadian markets.

 

Currently, Worksport works closely with one distributor in Canada, along with its own contracted distribution and inventory facility in Breinigsville, PA and Depew, NY. This does not include independent online retailers.

 

Although Worksport currently supports a total of 9 dealers and distributors, Worksport will return to a focus on online sales with new inventory being received in the US market for 2020. Worksport continues to believe the trend of increasing sales through online retailers will continue to outpace the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, reputable online retailer’s customers tend to provide larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales increased by 339% from $384,908 for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $1,687,858 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase correlates to the increase in sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 88% and 80% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in percentage of sales resulted in a gross margin decrease from 20% for the years ended December 31, 2018 to 12% for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease in gross margin is related to the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates used to translate Canadian Dollar sales into United States Dollars for purposes of financial reporting as well as the increased cost for cost of goods sold and cost associated with warehousing inventory, to fulfil just in time sales, in the US market.

 

Within cost of sales, shipping and freight costs accounted for 3% of cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2019, whereas in 2018, it accounted for 31% of cost of sales. This decrease is primarily attributed to an increase in volume of sales to a single customer, decreasing shipping and freight cost.

 

Worksport provides its distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts are also offered to certain higher volume customers. Worksport also offers a “dock price” or “pickup program”; where clients are able to pick up product directly from one of Worksport stocking warehouses

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Worksport was founded in 2011 to take advantage of the limited innovation provided by existing tonneau cover manufacturers. Tonneau covers have remained much the same in price and design since 2005, with one main company controlling a majority of the tonneau cover market. This dynamic market segment is in need of a new innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers. Worksport has developed multiple products for the most prominent pick-up trucks available in North America. Details of each product can be found at www.Worksport.com. Worksport sells its products through wholesalers in Canada and the U.S. and through third-party online retailers. Worksport also manufactures its patented designed covers for other businesses under its private label and OEM manufacturing initiative.

 

On April 20th, 2018, the board of directors approved special resolutions to the articles of incorporation of Truxmart Ltd, as incorporated in the province on Ontario, Canada. The articles of the Corporation were amended to change the name of the Corporation from Truxmart Ltd. to Worksport Ltd.

 

Description of the Business

 

We design and distribute truck tonneau covers in US and Canada. We have developed multiple products for the most prominent pick-up trucks available in our market. We sell our products through wholesalers third-party online retailers. Our market consists of three major types of customers:

 

  1. master warehouse distributors;
     
  2. dealer-wholesalers; and
     
  3. end retail consumers.

 

We currently sell our product line through distributors and dealer networks. In the Canadian market, the majority of our business is with warehouse distributors, and select dealer customers. In the US market, our customer base is mostly dealers and wholesalers. Our products are manufactured in China according to our specifications and design. All of our covers are made in a factory in Meizhou, China. Our factory is capable of producing 3,000 pieces per month. Production at the factory can be increased within thirty days to facilitate volumes up to ten times the current output without any adverse effects on quality or craftsmanship. Worksport can transfer their tooling (molds and dies) to a new factory if and when needed with little cost or delay impact on production

 

Our Strategy – Business Plan

 

Worksport Ontario was founded in 2011 to take advantage of the lack of innovation and provided by existing tonneau cover manufacturers. Tonneau covers have remained much the same in price and design since 2005 with two companies controlling a majority of the market share. This dynamic market segment in need of a new innovative manufacturer of high quality and functionality who could offer products at a lower price point. Worksport has developed multiple products for all of the most prominent pick-up trucks available in US and Canada.

 

  -33-  

 

 

Worksport’s current market is the United States and Canada. The Company intends to eventually expand to other market opportunities outside of US and Canada. We also intend to earn revenues from both the automotive specialty equipment market as well as OEM production for global vehicle manufacturers. Other than a standard business license, no permits or regulatory approvals are required to distribute Worksport products to clients in any of the areas in which we operate.

 

Our market consists of three major types of customers which include: (i) master warehouse distributors; (ii) dealer and wholesalers; and (iii) end retail consumers. We are entirely dependent on these customers. Master warehouse distributors stock and distribute product to their customers, which are usually local dealers and wholesalers. Dealers and wholesalers include online retailers and offline local stores which sell product to businesses and retail consumers in their area. Dealers will purchase most of their product from their local distributor who will deliver to them regularly. Retail consumers are the end users of the product. Worksport currently sells our product line through distributors and dealer networks. In the Canadian market, Worksport does the majority of our business with warehouse distributors and select dealer customers. The majority of our sales came from three (3) customers, making us materially reliant on these customers. In the US market, Worksport’s customer base is mostly dealers and wholesalers.

 

Sales are made through calling on dealers, jobbers, and warehouse distributors (of truck accessories), who typically handle product sales and promotion through their in-house sales department. The next step is to have a strong working relationship with dealers and wholesalers who purchase our products, either directly or through distributors. To fully saturate the market, a business must entice the retail consumer to purchase our product by way of a strong internet presence which will consist of YouTube videos and commercials, an interactive website, search engine optimization, social media, among other web-based avenues.

 

Worksport is targeting key area dealers, distributors and online retainers primarily in the US so that they could become the vendors of Worksport’s innovative and aggressively priced light truck tonneau cover lineup. Worksport has developed a sales lead list which includes 13,000 US-based truck accessory dealers, distributors and retailers and 4,000 new truck dealers. Worksport is in the process of systemically calling on the leads on this list in the attempt of converting the contacts into customers. In Canada, Worksport has a sales lead list of over 3,000 contacts. As Worksport increases our inventory levels to facilitate new sales, Worksport will target select prospective contacts in an attempt to convert them into exclusive and key vendors of the Worksport product lineup.

 

Since Worksport believes that it is the only independent B2B producer of tonneau covers in the US and in Canada that does not sell directly to customers (B2C), Worksport believes that it can expand our current customer base via the contact list mentioned above. Given the unique ability of Worksport to design, patent, and produce our own line of products, prospective vendors will likely be interested in purchasing our products.

 

Worksport intends to develop a better online sales strategy concurrent with its offering. Worksport believes increasing sales through online retailers has the potential to outpace the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, reputable online retailer’s customers tend to provide larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

 

Our Products

 

Worksport’s current product lines are as follows:

 

Worksport SC3 (introduced in 2011): This product is currently in production and is being offered and sold to customers.) The Worksport Tri Fold (the “Tri Fold”) is our staple soft folding tonneau cover. The Tri Fold is made with features such as stainless steel hardware, double coated vinyl tarp and all aluminum and plastic coated front clamps. The Tri Fold is made available to our customer base at an average cost savings of 5% over competing products.

 

Worksport SC3Pro (introduced in 2012): This product has been upgraded and redesigned. The Worksport SC3Pro is our second product to market and offers our patented rear Smart Latch system. The Smart Fold is the first innovation in the rear latching system offered on soft folding tonneau covers. The Smart Fold cover comes with all of the same features as the SC3 but with a new rear latch system that allows the cover to be opened by simply pulling a release cable which is a new innovation in the soft tri fold segment of our market.

 

Worksport SC4 will be the first vinyl wrapped tonneau cover to fold in four sections. This cover will also allow its users full bed access by being foldable upwards towards the rear window of the truck. We chose to make the world’s first soft quad folding cover so this cover is more compact when standing parallel to the back window of a truck, thus eliminating wind resistance and rear window obstruction.

 

  -34-  

 

 

Worksport TC3 model is currently in production and is being sold to customers and has been engineered to be easy to install and operate while being offered at an aggressive cost. The TC3 cover is built using 14 millimeter-thick aluminum panels with a robust honeycomb core, coated in a durable matte-black scratch-resistant powder coating. With robust packaging, the lighter weight TC3also saves time and money with up to 10% more load quantity in a standard 40’ HC container, maximizing value and product profitability.

 

TC4

 

Worksport’s TC4 model is currently in design stages. The design will mimic that of the SC4, in that it will fold with four sections, and rotate towards the rear window; allowing full bed access. The cover will have three locking points; with two locking points being cable actuated. The cover will be made using FRP (fiberglass reinforced polymer) panels with a matte black silicate surface, for a durable and desirable matt-black finish.

 

TC4Pro

 

Worksport’s TC4Pro model is also currently in development. It will have mirror the TC4, however, it will be offered with all cable-actuated locking mechanisms, for easier operation. Versions of the model will also be offered with expandable cargo division and storage solutions.

 

TerraVis

 

The TerraVis cover system by Worksport is in early stage developments. You can view further information at www.goterravis.com. This cover will be based on the TC4 framework, with functional improvements that will allow the cover to depend within the cargo bed of the truck, and rotate upwards towards the back window; to allow the user two methods to gain full bed access. This cover is designed with integrated track systems within the bed of the truck, as well as outside along the outer edge of the cover. These tracks can be used for a myriad of add-on options that will later be designed by Worksport such as: chrome trim, tie downs, cargo cleats, textile storage bags, seating, cargo racks, sliding systems and other features.

 

The TerraVis system will use mono-crystalline high efficiency solar panels, instead of FRP or Aluminum. The covers solar system will generate an estimated 800-watts of low voltage DC current. The power will them be stored in an integrated, scalable Lithium Iron Phosphate (pr Lithium Ion) battery bank, that can expand to over 2 kilowatts of energy storage. The energy can be stored and inverted to two 2000-watt 110V AC outlets or used to re-charge vehicles onboard battery systems as “emergency power”.

 

Competitive Conditions

 

For many years, consumers have had very limited product offerings available to them from tonneau cover manufacturers. The leading manufacturers in Canadian and US market have had very few model developments. The tonneau cover market can be divided into four main styles of covers:

 

  1. Soft Folding & Roll-up covers (Vinyl covers)
     
  2. Hard Folding & Standing Covers (Aluminum and FRP)
     
  3. Solid one piece caps and lids (Plastic & Fiberglass)
     
  4. Retractable Covers (Plastic & Aluminum)

 

Our market is dominated by two large entities that have acquired all other independent manufacturers and brands. Truck Accessories Group (TAG) and Truck Hero account for the majority of the market. These two large entities pose a concentration risk to the vendors’ top source of revenues. However, Worksport is in positioned as independent, aggressively priced, innovative, and operationally ethical. Further, we are targeting growth in the folding tonneau covers tonneau cover segment. Currently, the market distribution is shared by three primary participants, with LKQ/Keystone considered as the market leader. Truck Hero Group is the holding company for Extang Corporation, TruXedo, Inc., BedRug, Inc., UnderCo r Inc., Advantage Truck Accessories Inc., Retrax Inc., BAK Industries, NFAB, RealTruck.Com, Auto Customs, and ARE Truck Caps. Such companies account for the majority of the competing brands in US and Canada. Of these covers, the following are comparable and competitive models:

 

Brand   Model   Price     Worksport   Price  
Advantage   Torza Top   $ 369.00     SC3   $ 259.00

Private Label Sales

 

With our portfolio of patents and designs, other large brands in our space has asked us to manufacture product for them, under their own brand (the “Private Label”). We allow other brands and large players to gain access to the growing tonneau cover market without concern for any of the barriers to entry (patents, design, supply chain etc.). As Worksport develops and patents new and innovative truck bed covers and systems, a myriad of distribution and manufacturing brands can rely on our infrastructure to access the market, while Worksport earns revenues and profits from our innovations and infrastructure.

 

Worksport launched our Private Label in late 2016 with immediate success. The barrier to entry in our market is the highest amongst all automotive parts market. There are engineering and patent barriers that discourage some of the largest market leaders in the automotive parts from entering. Worksport has been able to successfully navigate and overcome the many barriers to entry, making Worksport among only one or two independent producers of truck bed covers in US and Canada.

 

Secondary to the Private Label program, Worksport plans to offer a dealer direct “white glove” Private Label service that we classify as potentially disruptive in our market. In the “online marketplace” era, a vast majority of customers are switching from brick and mortar to online direct purchases. This has left the future of brick and mortar retail stores in question. In the US alone, there are over 17,000 brick and mortar dealers and distributors of automotive accessories and growing. Through market research, we have discovered that a new trend is arising, caused by the monopolization of the market in the US, by our competitor (Truck Hero and Truck Accessory Group), paired with the “Amazon affect” (retail clients buying online). The trend is that the truck owners generally prefer to see the tonneau cover before purchasing it. As it is a major purchase for truck owners, retail consumers are seeking education at the brick and mortar stores and conducting online searches and purchases for a competitively priced item.

 

Worksport plans to change this trend by stocking, in large volumes, up to four of our most popular and well-received items (Tri Fold, Smart Fold, Quas Fold and Forte) in one of two US warehouses and offering these products, just in time, to the dealers that participate in our program in the US as “their own brand” (or Private Label). This will be done with an intense amount of planning and organization. We will create and own the right to each brand from each dealer that participates in the program. Each dealer can order our product and we can brand that product as their own as it leaves our warehouse to their show room. If successful, this will secure Worksport as a supplier, by contract and ownership, to each dealer that participates in our program in the US. This unique program will ensure that the dealer can make all purchases from Worksport if they choose to participate in our program.

Market: Latest Data from 2018 SEMA Report

 

*this report is the latest specific market data available. Data for 2019 will be forthcoming in late 2020 or early 2021.

 

The 2018 SEMA Report shows the results of the previous year and indicates that 2017 was another good year for the specialty-equipment industry. The overall size of the market grew to $42.92 billion. The 4% growth continues a multiple-year trend. SEMA projects that enter the market will continue to grow through the end of 2018 and bring retail sales close to $45 billion.

 

This current growth trend is fueled by strong overall economic performance, including an ongoing decline in unemployment and growth in consumer spending. A strong economy paired with rising consumer confidence means that more people are willing to spend money on discretionary items, such as specialty automotive parts. While new vehicle sales have leveled off, they still remain at near-record highs—close to 17 million per year. Recently announced tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, etc. and other policy changes could affect the economy and the industry in 2018, but to this point, demand has been strong.

 

Pickup upgrades are the largest sector of the specialty-equipment industry, accounting for 27% of total retail dollars (about $12.03 Billion). In the USA alone there are 158.6 Million registered Light Trucks. Despite the growth of CUVs overall, full-size pickups remain the most common vehicle subtype on the road today. This is likely driven by the continued popularity of domestic half-ton pickups (Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500) throughout the United States, especially in the South. While there is increasing interest in electrification by automakers, electric vehicles comprise less than 1% of light vehicles on the road. Hybrid cars are the only alternative power vehicles to have a notable share of registrations. It will be a long time before they change the face of the U.S. light vehicle fleet.

 

Top Registered Models    
     
Ford F-150   10.2M
Chevrolet Silverado 1500   7.1M
Ram 1500   4.9M
Toyota Tacoma   3.2M
Ford F-250 Super Duty   2.8M
GMC Sierra 1500   2.5M
Ford Ranger   2.3M
Chevrolet Silverado 2500   2.1M
Toyota Tundra   2.0M
Ford F-350 Super Duty   1.7M

 

Of the roughly 56 million pickups in the United States today, nearly 60% of them are either GM Full-Size or Ford F-Series.

 

These two models account for almost 12% of all vehicles on the road. The Ram Pickup also boasts a high number of trucks on the road that brings it in just below the top two in customization potential. The rebirth of several mid-size models are also expected to provide a boost to the pickup category as these platforms may bring in new buyers. Other top pickups for accessorizing include mid-size and full-size offerings from Toyota and Nissan, which have a significant number of enthusiast owners.

Operations in China

 

Legal Right to Conduct Operations in China

 

Presently, other than sales operations in US and Canada, the remaining operations are conducted only in China. Worksport requires a customs bond in the US to import our products. We obtain our customs bond through our customs agent, who imports and clears the product upon entry into the US or Canada. Other than the importer’s customs bond, Worksport requires no other permits or licenses to import our product that is manufactured in China. No regulatory approvals are required. Customs bonds and importer account numbers (CBP in US and CBSA in Canada) are not formal licenses.

 

Worksport is a paying member of SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association). The association keeps automotive manufacturers apprised of all new regulations, license requirements, and mandates in the automotive industry across US and Canada. Worksport management constantly works with our customs brokers, logistics providers, corporate legal counsel (patent, trademark, general business, and securities) to ensure compliance with any and all permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals required to operate.

 

We are not aware of any restrictions or conditions that can be imposed, by the government of China, to hinder or affect our ability to manufacture and import our product from China.

 

Manufacturing in China

 

Currently, Steven Rossi, our CEO, is the only director experienced in conducting business in China. Management works with various US and Canadian based agents and factory representatives. These agents inform management of the laws and requirements of doing business with factories in China, the local culture, and differences in banking and exchange rates. Management is highly skilled and experienced with doing business in China.

 

Steven Rossi has been working with overseas factories, including Chinese factories, for the past nine years. Furthermore, Mr. Rossi’s involvement with US factories that work closely with Chinese factories has improved his knowledge of conducting business with Chinese counterparts. Mr. Rossi has been involved in successfully launching seven new products. Specifically, he has contributed to revising products, negotiating prices for each product, on-boarding a total of four factories, as well as working with the patent and trademark legal team to include China as a jurisdiction for our pending trademark and patent applications.

 

As a manufacturing member of SEMA, we have access to network resources made available through SEMA. This keeps Mr. Rossi informed of the laws and requirements of China, role of the government in China, local business culture in China, as well as any differences in banking systems and controls between Canada and China.

 

Worksport products are manufactured in China according to our specifications and design, using our schematics and blueprints. All of our covers are made in a factory in Meizhou, China. Our factory is capable of producing 3,000 pieces per month. Production at the factory can be increased within thirty days to facilitate volumes up to ten times the current output without any stress on their capacity.

 

Currently, we rely relies on a third party manufacturer to produce our products in China. However, we now have our own molds and patents, and therefore, are not reliant solely on Chinese manufacturers. Worksport can transfer their tooling (molds and dies) to a new factory if and when needed with little cost or delay impact on production

 

  -39-  

 

 

Worksport designs, patents, and owns schematics and blueprints used to manufacture products. Contracting factories to manufacture the product is easier to oversee and change. If Worksport becomes reliant on the factories R&D, product, and patents, this would pose risks and challenges relating to supply concentration and a going concern that the company could lose our supply should the relationship change between the company and our factory. As at the date of this prospectus, the additional “back-up” factory is not producing or manufacturing product for Worksport. However, in Q3 2020, the back-up factory may commence production of some of Worksport’s current and yet to be released product. Note that “launching” a product is presenting the product as a concept to the B2B market, either via direct solicitation’ (phone calls with video or online presentations about the product) or in a trade-show setting. “Releasing a product is when that formally presented product is fully tested, engineered, and all tooling is completed and the product is ready for mass production and sale.

 

Worksport does not own our own tools and molds but instead has ownership and control over the schematics and blueprints of our designs/products and each contracted manufacturer basis our dies and molds on Worksport’s schematics and blueprints. Should a contract between the us and the manufacturer terminate, we would supply the new manufacturer with our schematics and blueprints, bills of materials, procedure sheets, as well as authorized access to our tools, dies and molds. The new manufacturer would then use this data to begin production, which is only authorized after one physical pre-production sample of each model is produced and inspected by Worksport and our engineers. The previous manufacturer would destroy the mold it was using as per our agreements with our current manufacturer.

 

MD&A: Factors Associated with Manufacturing in China

 

Worksport has a total of two factories that are producing for Worksport. Worksport does not require a specific focus on contracted manufacturing agreements since most risks are mitigated in the following ways:

 

Copy-cat risks: As discussed above, if a relationship with our manufacturers is terminated, the previous manufacturer would destroy the mold it was using as per our agreements with our current manufacturer. Worksport had new tooling produced with each item having specific logos and taxonomy on each tool that labels that item as OEM for Worksport, which prevents that item from being copied or used/stolen.

 

Downgraded factory relationship risks: Worksport switches manufacturing to any other assembly factory readily available in China.

 

Overbooking risks: Worksport on-boards over-flow factory to produce over-flow product. Factories in China can scale quickly. Worksport’s product does not require skilled trades or labor.

 

Worksport is always working on ways to mitigate risk relating to overseas or foreign manufacturing. Medium term plans are in place to reduce or eliminate the risks for overseas manufacturing. None of the factories’ management, ownership, or affiliates are associated with Worksport our management, directors, or any other roles.

 

We will continually explore possibilities to manufacture our product within North America (Mexico, USA, Canada). As we develop, we will work towards ultimately attaining our goal of having our product manufactured within North America. To do so, we would require new tooling and equipment and facilities.

 

MAP (Minimum Advertised Price)

 

To maintain a competitive position in the market, we have implemented and enforced a strict MAP. MAP pricing is enforceable in the US, and it mitigates price/value erosion of our product. This is the lowest price at which the customer can sell our product. In Canada, Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) is used. However, MSRP is only a suggestion and there are no enforceable measures in the Canadian market to protect against price erosion arising from competing dealers. MAP typically refers to the definite retail pricing of each of our products and differs between the Canadian and the US markets. Our products’ MAP pricing is set to be competitive in relation to competing products, while allowing our distributors, dealers and retailers to generate respectable margins of profit. Moreover, if our MAP pricing is violated by a product being advertised or sold above or below the then current MAP price, we take necessary steps with our customer(s) to remediate pricing to continue and maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. However, there are no guarantees that MAP pricing and other various forms of pricing and product control measures can be effectively monitored and enforced, especially as the Corporation’s market saturation grows.

 

Components

 

Our model factories are required to handle the sourcing of individual components. The factories offer the Corporation an “all inclusive” price that does not change.

 

Environmental Protection

 

We are committed to high environmental standards and carries out our activities and operations in compliance with all relevant and applicable environmental regulations and best industry practices. Costs of environmental regulatory compliance are not expected to be significant.

The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when and as declared by the Board from funds legally available therefor, and upon liquidation are entitled to share pro rata in any distribution to holders of Common Stock. There are no preemptive, conversion or redemption privileges, nor sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock.

 

Changes in Authorized Number

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series. The Board is also authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series than outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

Warrants

 

In this Offering, each Unit includes one Common Share and one Common Share Warrant. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 USD per share, subject to customary adjustments, over a 12-month exercise period following the date of issuance. The Company may call the warrant with a thirty (30) day written notice to the Warrant holder, as described in the Warrant Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.

 

Penny stock regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared 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, among other requirements, 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. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We will not distribute cash to our Common Stock shareholders until Company generates net income. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. We cannot assure you that we will distribute any cash in the future. Our cash distribution policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

Company may establish a Common Stock Option Plan for the benefit of its employees in the near future. The vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering a maximum of 4,000,000 Units the public at a price of $0.10 per share on a “best efforts” basis. The shares are being offered in the United States pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, in certain provinces of Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian law, and in jurisdictions outside the United States and Canada on a basis which does not require qualification or registration of such securities. There is no minimum offering amount; however, the minimum investment for each investor is $500.00. Potential investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that any other funds will be invested in this offering other than their own funds.

 

We plan to market the securities in this offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media and posting our Offering Circular and other materials on an online investment platform.

 

Our Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, and (b) one (1) year from the initial qualification date. This will be a continuous offering which commences within two calendar days after the qualification date, will be offered on a continuous basis, may continue to be offered for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial qualification, and will be offered in an amount that, at the time the offering statement is qualified, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within one year from the initial qualification date.

 

We are offering securities in all states.

 

The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”) a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA, to perform the following administrative and technology related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

 

  Review investor information, including KYC (“Know Your Customer”) data, AML (“Anti Money Laundering”) and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the company whether or not to accept investor as a customer.
  Review each investors subscription agreement to confirm such investors participation in the offering and provide a determination to the company whether or not to accept the use of the subscription agreement for the investor’s participation.
  Contact and/or notify the company, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification on an investor;
  Not provide any investment advice nor any investment recommendations to any investor.
  Keep investor details and data confidential and not disclose to any third-party except as required by regulators or pursuant to the terms of the agreement (e.g. as needed for AML and background checks).
  Coordinate with third party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance.

 

As compensation for the services listed above, the company has agreed to pay Dalmore a commission equal to 3% of the amount raised in the offering to support the offering on all newly invested funds after the issuance of a No Objection Letter by FINRA. In addition, the company has paid Dalmore a one-time advance set up fee of $5,000 to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore, such as, among other things, preparing the FINRA filing. Dalmore will refund any fee related to the advance to the extent it is not used, incurred or provided to the company. In addition, the company will pay a $5,000 consulting fee that will be due after FINRA issues a No Objection Letter and the Commission qualifies the offering. The company estimates that total fees due to pay Dalmore would be $370,000 for a fully subscribed offering. These assumptions were used in estimating the expenses of this offering.

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have engaged EQ Shareowner Services to act as our Transfer Agent for the Company’s securities.

 

Investors’ Tender of Funds

 

After the SEC has qualified the Offering Statement, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Common Stock. The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their securities on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via ACH, debit or credit card, wire or check. Subscriptions via credit card will be processed via a third-party software provider, Novation Solutions Inc. o/a DealMaker. The Company estimates that processing fees for credit card subscriptions will be approximately 3.25% of total funds invested per transaction. The Company intends to pay these fees on behalf of investors. Investors should note that processing of checks and credit cards by financial institutions has been impacted by restrictions on businesses due to the coronavirus pandemic. Delays in the processing and closing of subscriptions paid by check may occur, and credit card processing fees may fluctuate. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the Company for its use. The Company estimates that approximately 80% of the gross proceeds raised in this Offering will be paid via credit card. This assumption was used in estimating the payment processing fees included in the total offering expenses set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Offering Circular.

 

In order to invest you will be required to subscribe to the Offering at www.________________ and agree to the terms of the Offering and the subscription agreement.

 

Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue shares to the investor. The Transfer Agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.

 

In the event that it takes some time for the Company to raise funds in this Offering, the Company may rely on cash on hand, or may seek to raise funds by conducting a new offering of equity or debt securities.

 

There is no aggregate minimum to be raised in order for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a “rolling basis.” This means we will be entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

In the case of a debit card payment, provided the payment is approved, Dalmore will have up to three days to ensure all the documentation is complete. Dalmore will generally review all subscription agreements on the same day, but not later than the day after the submission of the subscription agreement.

 

All funds received by wire transfer will be made available immediately while funds transferred by ACH will be restricted for a minimum of three days to clear the banking system prior to deposit into an account at the Escrow Agent.

 

The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, in the event that an investor fails to provide all necessary information, even after further requests, in the event an investor fails to provide requested follow up information to complete background checks or fails background checks, and in the event the offering is oversubscribed in excess of the maximum offering amount.

 

In the interest of allowing interested investors as much time as possible to complete the paperwork associated with a subscription, there is no maximum period of time to decide whether to accept or reject a subscription. If a subscription is rejected, funds will not be accepted by wire transfer or ACH, and payments made by debit card or check will be returned to subscribers within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest. Upon acceptance of a subscription, the company will send a confirmation of such acceptance to the subscriber.

 

Dalmore has not investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the shares nor approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of purchasing the shares.

All inquiries regarding this offering should be made directly to the company.

 

Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue shares to the investor. The Transfer Agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.

 

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.

 

In order to purchase our Common Stock shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the ten percent (10%) of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this Offering.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

a) Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on May 14, 2020.

 

b) Functional and Reporting Currency

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed the functional currency of its subsidiary to United States dollars given the increasing prevalence of U.S. dollar-denominated activities of the subsidiary over time. The change in functional currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollars is accounted for prospectively from January 1, 2020. The subsidiary’s balance sheet was converted from Canadian dollars to United States dollars using the year ended December 31, 2019 United States dollar balance as the opening for January 1, 2020 in accordance to ASC 830. These condensed interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the United States Dollar. As a result of the change in functional currency the Company recognized a loss on foreign exchange of $29,940.

 

c) Use of Estimates

 

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

 

d) Going Concern

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $344,451 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $12,022,864. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

e) Reclassification

 

Certain comparative figures have been re-classified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

f) Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

 

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we identified an immaterial error related to the recognition of deemed dividend related to down-round features along with the associated shares issuance and professional fees in the annual periods in fiscal 2019 and first quarter of 2020. In accordance with SAB (Staff Accounting Bulletins) Topic 1.M, “Materiality,” and SAB (Staff Accounting Bulletins) Topic 1.N, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” we evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to our financial statements for any prior annual or interim period, but that correcting the cumulative impact of the error would be significant to our results of operations and equity fiscal and interim periods of 2019 and 2020. Accordingly, we have revised previously reported financial information for such immaterial error, as previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and for the fiscal year 2019. A summary of revisions to certain previously reported financial information presented herein for comparative purposes is included in Note 15.

b) Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On February 25, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Leonite Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Leonite”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Leonite a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $544,425 to be paid in tranches. As additional consideration for the purchase of the note, (i) the Company issued to Leonite 450,000 common shares, and (ii) the Company issued to Leonite a five-year warrant to purchase 900,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

The note carries an original issue discount of $44,425 to cover Leonite’s legal fees, accounting fees, due diligence fees and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase of the note. Therefore, the purchase price of the note was $500,000. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has recorded $198,715, $182,500 principal and $16,215 original issue discount. Furthermore, the Company issued 450,000 shares of common stock valued at $123,390 and a debt-discount related to the warrants valued at $59,110. The Company amortized $42,038 of financing costs related to the shares and warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The remaining net balance of the note at June 30, 2020 is $45,774 comprised of principal of $186,235 and net of unamortized debt discount of $140,461.

4. Promissory Notes (continued)

 

b) Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

 

The note will mature 18 months from the issue date, or August 25, 2021, at which time the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and other fees relating to the note, will be due and payable. Unless an event of default as set forth in the note has occurred, the Company has the right to prepay principal amount of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the note at any time prior to the maturity date at 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest plus the lesser of (i) nine months of unaccrued interest or (ii) all unaccrued interest through the remainder of the term.

 

The note contains customary events of default, including in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a breach by the Company of its covenants under the securities purchase agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the securities purchase agreement, or a breach of any of representations or warranties under the note, or (iii) the bankruptcy of the Company. The note also contains a cross default provision, whereby a default by the Company of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the other financial instrument issued by the Company to Leonite or any other third party after the passage all applicable notice and cure or grace periods that results in a material adverse effect shall, at Leonite’s option, be considered a default under the note, in which event Leonite shall be entitled to apply all rights and remedies under the terms of the note.

 

Under the note, Leonite has the right at any time at its option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the note into fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Company. The number of common shares to be issued upon each conversion of the note shall be determined by dividing the conversion amount by the applicable conversion price then in effect. The conversion amount is the sum of: (i) the principal amount of the note to be converted plus (ii) at Leonite’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, plus (iii) at Leonite’s option, Default Interest, if any, plus (iv) Leonite’s expenses relating to a conversion, plus (v) at Leonite’s option, any amounts owed to Leonite. The conversion price shall be $0.09 per share (subject to adjustment as further described in the note for common share distributions and splits, certain fundamental transactions, and anti-dilution adjustments), provided that at any time after any event of default under the note, the conversion price shall immediately be equal to the lesser of (i) the fixed conversion price ($0.09); (ii) 60% of the lowest bid price during the twenty one consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading that the Company receives a Notice of Conversion or (iii) the discount to market based on subsequent financing.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Leonite be entitled to convert any portion of the note in excess of that portion of the note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of common shares beneficially owned by Leonite and its affiliates (other than common shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained in the note, and, if applicable, net of any shares that may be deemed to be owned by any person not affiliated with Leonite who has purchased a portion of the note from Leonite) and (2) the number of common shares issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by Leonite and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Such limitations on conversion may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by Leonite upon, at its election, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by Leonite, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

 

This note shall give Leonite a senior secured obligation of the Company, with first priority over all current and future indebtedness of the Company and any subsidiary.

 

Calculation of beneficial conversion feature

 

On February 25, 2020 The Company allocated $198,715 as the proceeds from Leonite; $182,500 principal and $16,215 original issue discount. The Company allocated $123,390 to common shares and $242,100 to warrants calculated using the black-scholes model. The effective rate resulted in a beneficial conversion feature greater than the proceeds.

 

In accordance to ASC 470-20-30, if the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible promissory note, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible promissory note. As such, the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible promissory note is equal to $182,500 with an excess of $174,802.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Franchise Holdings International, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, 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, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses and has an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

1. Nature of Operations and Reverse Acquisition Transaction

 

Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction (the “Reverse Acquisition”) with TruXmart Ltd. (“TruXmart”). On May 2, 2018, Truxmart legally changed its name to Worksport Ltd. (“Worksport”). Worksport designs and distributes truck tonneau covers in Canada and the United States.

 

2. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

a) Statement of Compliance

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

b) Basis of Measurement

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis.

 

c) Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses from intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

d) Functional and Presentation Currency

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar. For purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements, balances denominated in Canadian Dollars outstanding at December 31, 2019 were converted into United States Dollars at a rate of 1.30 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Balances denominated in Canadian Dollars outstanding at December 31, 2018 were converted into United States Dollars at a rate of 1.36 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars for the period ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were converted into United States Dollars at an average rate of 1.33 and 1.30 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar, respectfully.

 

e) Use of Estimates

 

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

 

f) Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $414,607 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $10,768,906. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

g) Reclassification

 

Certain comparative figures have been re-classified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

  F-19  
 

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidation - The Company is incorporated in the state of Nevada. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Worksport Ltd., a company incorporated in the province of Ontario. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on account and demand deposits with maturities of three months or less.

 

Receivables - Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Receivables are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, allowances may be required.

 

The Company offers credit terms on the sale of the Company’s products to a significant majority of the Company’s customers and requires no collateral from these customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the Company’s historical experience and a specific review or accounts receivable at the end of each period. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by a weighted average basis. Cost includes the cost of materials plus direct labor applied to the product.

 

Warranties - The Company offers limited warranties against product defects. Customers who are not completely satisfied with their purchase may attempt to be reimbursed for their purchases outside the warranty period. For the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred warranty expenses of $2,106 and $3,538.

 

Revenue Recognition – Beginning after December 15, 2017, for public entities reporting Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASC 606, a new accounting standard for revenue recognition was issued. An entity must satisfy the following steps under ASC 606 for revenue recognition; identifiable contract, identifiable performance obligation, determinable transaction price, allocating the transaction price and satisfying performance obligations. Sales are recognized when products are shipped, with no right of return, the title and risk of loss has passed to the customers or when they are delivered based on the terms of the sale. Revenue related to shipping and handling costs billed to customers is included in net sales and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold. These standards have had no effect on the reported consolidated financial statements.

 

Property and Equipment - Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Furniture and equipment   5 years
Computers   3 years
Patents   25 years
Leasehold improvements   15 years

 

As at December 31, 2019, the Company does not take depreciation for the following items: product moulds, trademarks and the website as the following items are not in service.

 

Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income, and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB ASC 740. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

 

Tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

Foreign Currency Translation - Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and deficit.

 

For the purpose of presenting financial statements in United States Dollars, the assets and liabilities are expressed in United States Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as cumulative translation adjustment in shareholder’s equity.

 

  F-20  
 

 

For the purpose of these financial statements, the following exchange rates were used:

 

Balance Sheet   Income Statement
December 31, 2019 0.7699 USD/ CAD   0.7537 USD/ CAD
December 31, 2018 0.7330 USD/ CAD   0.7721 USD/ CAD

 

Financial Instruments - Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 825, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loan, approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Measurement - The Company initially measures its financial instrument at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for investments in equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings for the period in which they occur.

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related party receivable, other receivables and share subscriptions receivable. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory note payable.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company has issued and could issue instruments with such terms that require the Company to account for the transactions as derivative financial instruments. The Company is accounting for these transactions in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires that every derivative instrument is recorded on the balance sheet as an asset or liability measured at its fair value as of the reporting date. ASC 815 also requires changes in the derivatives’ fair value to be recognized in earnings for the period.

 

Related Party Transactions - All transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount.

 

Intangible Assets and Impairment - Patents and other intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and are evaluated for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances arise that indicate the existence of impairment. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company measures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no impairment losses related to intangible assets.

 

Lease Accounting - On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standards ASC 842 that requires lessees to recognize all leases on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the value of the discounted future lease payments. Expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements are required prospectively and are included in Note 19. Upon adoption, the Company also recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $68,516.

 

Private Equity Investment - Private equity investments may consist of common stock and preferred stock of privately owned companies. The Company records all private equity investments at the transaction price, excluding transaction costs. The Company assesses annually if there is any objective evidence that its interest in its investments are impaired. If impaired, the carrying value of the Company’s share of the underlying assets of the investment is written down to its estimated recoverable amount and charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

4. Inventory

 

Inventory consists of the following at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

 

    2019     2018  
Finished goods   $ 104,868     $ 282,239

The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 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 ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has determined that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company had no accruals for interest and tax penalties at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

11. Financial Instruments

 

Credit Risk

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from its customers. In order to reduce its credit risk, the Company has adopted credit policies which include the analysis of the financial position of its customers and the regular review of their credit balances. The Company incurred no bad debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Currency Risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk on its sales and purchases denominated in Canadian Dollars. The Company actively manages these risks by adjusting its pricing to reflect currency fluctuations and purchasing foreign currency at advantageous rates.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company relies on cash flows generated from operations, as well as injections of capital through the issuance of the Company’s capital stock to settle its liabilities when they become due.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities.

 

  F-26  
 

 

Concentration of Supplier Risk

 

The Company purchases all of its inventory from one supplier source in Asia. The Company has no written agreement with this supplier. The Company carries significant strategic inventories of these materials to reduce the risk associated with this concentration of suppliers. Strategic inventories are managed based on demand. To date, the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of the materials used in the production of its products in a timely manner from existing sources. The loss of this key supplier or a delay in shipments could have an adverse effect on its business.

 

Concentration of Customer Risk

 

The following table includes the percentage of the Company’s sales to significant customers for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. A customer is considered to be significant if they account for greater than 10% of the Company’s annual sales:

 

    2019     2018  
Customer A     89 %     37.8 %
Customer B     - %     31.2 %
Customer C     - %     19.8 %
Customer D     - %     10.4 %
      89 %     99.2 %

 

The loss of any of these key customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. At December 31, 2019, $1,912,401 was included in revenue from Company A, representing 89% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended. With Customer A representing 89% of the revenue, the loss of the customer would have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue.

 

In 2018, Customer A represented 37.8% or $182,738 of total sales.

 

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company complies with the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
